Houston Astros right-hander Cristian Javier will get the start against the Texas Rangers on Wednesday. Javier is rejoining the starting rotation with Justin Verlander (calf) going on the 15-day injured list on Tuesday.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (foot) is back in right field and is hitting sixth on Tuesday against the Chicago Cubs and right-hander Marcus Stroman.

Chi Chi Gonzalez Signs With Yankees

The New York Yankees signed free-agent right-hander Chi Chi Gonzalez to a minor league deal on Tuesday. It would be an understatement to say that Gonzalez has bounced around in 2022.

The Atlanta Braves claimed right-handed reliever Jesse Chavez off waivers on Tuesday from the Los Angeles Angels.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said that eight-time Pro Bowl left tackle Tyron Smith (hamstring, knee) is expected to play in 2022. "I expect to have Tyron back. And be back for the meat of the season," Jones said on 105.3 The Fan. Jones had surgery recently to fix an avulsion fracture in his left... Read More

Cowboys Release Cooper Rush

The Dallas Cowboys released quarterback Cooper Rush on Tuesday, according to a person familiar with the move. Rush has accrued at least four years of NFL experience, so he won't be subject to waivers. Rush and Will Grier are both off the initial 53-man roster, but it's likely that at least one of them will... Read More

Devin Asiasi Waived By Patriots

The New England Patriots waived tight end Devin Asiasi (quadriceps) on Tuesday, according to a source. The Patriots also waived former third-rounder Dalton Keene on Tuesday.

Texans Release Marlon Mack

The Houston Texans released veteran running back Marlon Mack on Tuesday, according to a source. Although rookie Dameon Pierce was already trending upward as the likely primary back heading into the start of the regular season, Mack's release comes as a pretty big surprise. The 26-year-old was looking fully healthy after a devastating Achilles injury... Read More

Tyler Johnson Can't Survive Roster Cuts

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers cut wide receiver Tyler Johnson on Tuesday, according to a source. Johnson had a good training camp, but the Bucs just have too many capable bodies in the receiver room. The former fifth-rounder played in all 17 regular season games a year ago and caught 36 of his 55 targets for... Read More

Packers Waive Tyler Goodson

The Green Bay Packers waived rookie running back Tyler Goodson on Tuesday, according to a source. However, the Packers would like to bring him back on the practice squad if he's not claimed off waivers. Goodson had a strong preseason, so there's a chance another team could take a crack at him. In three seasons... Read More

Eagles Acquire Chauncey Gardner-Johnson From Saints

The Philadelphia Eagles acquired starting safety Chauncey Gardner-Johnson and a seventh-round pick in the 2025 draft from the New Orleans Saints on Tuesday in exchange for a fifth-rounder in 2023 and a sixth-round selection in 2024.

Brian Robinson On The Initial 53-Man Roster

Washington Commanders rookie running back Brian Robinson is on the team's initial 53-man roster, and Jonathan Williams was also added as the third running back behind Antonio Gibson and J.D. McKissic, likely until Robinson is healthy. Robinson's inclusion on the 53-man roster seems like an indication that the team believes he'll be back sooner than... Read More

J.K. Dobbins' Week 1 Status In Doubt

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins' (knee) status for Week 1 against the New York Jets is certainly in doubt, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Gus Edwards (knee) is on the Physically Unable to Perform list and will miss at least the first four games of the season as well, which is why the... Read More

Deshaun Watson Placed On Suspended List

The Cleveland Browns officially placed quarterback Deshaun Watson on the Reserve/Suspended list on Tuesday, and his 11-game suspension for violating the league's personal-conduct policy is now underway.

Dolphins Cut Preston Williams

The Miami Dolphins cut wide receiver Preston Williams on Tuesday, according to a source. Williams complained his lack of a role earlier this summer, but he was never realistically going to see much playing time after Miami added wideouts Tyreek Hill and Cedrick Wilson Jr. in the offseason. Multiple teams reached out over the last... Read More

Falcons Cut Qadree Ollison

The Atlanta Falcons cut running back Qadree Ollison on Tuesday, according to a league source. The former fifth-round pick led the team in rushing touchdowns (four) in his rookie season in 2019, so he'll likely receive calls from interested teams now that he's on the open market. With the 25-year-old out of the picture in... Read More

Vikings Waive Kellen Mond

The Minnesota Vikings waived quarterback Kellen Mond on Tuesday, according to a source. Mond was a third-round selection out of Texas A&M last year, but he struggled in the preseason and the Vikings recently traded for veteran Nick Mullens, leaving Mond as the odd-man out in the quarterback room in Minnesota. Behind starter Kirk Cousins,... Read More

Packers Release Danny Etling

The Green Bay Packers released quarterback Danny Etling on Tuesday, according to a source. Etling threw for 220 yards and a touchdown in preseason action this summer, but Green Bay will go with Jordan Love as the only other signal-caller on the active roster behind future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers. Etling was drafted in... Read More

Byron Jones To Miss First Four Games

The Miami Dolphins placed starting cornerback Byron Jones (ankle) on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list on Tuesday, so he will miss at least the first four games of the season. Jones had surgery on his ankle in March and was hoping to be ready for Week 1 of the regular season, but that won't... Read More

Lynn Bowden Jr. Let Go By Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins released wide receiver Lynn Bowden Jr. on Tuesday, according to a source. Bowden has plenty of versatility as a running back, slot receiver and kick returner, but the Dolphins just didn't have room for him after adding Tyreek Hill and Cedrick Wilson Jr. in the offseason. The 24-year-old will surely latch on... Read More

Jets Release Tevin Coleman Tuesday

The New York Jets released running back Tevin Coleman on Tuesday, according to sources. Coleman was never going to enter the 2022 regular season with much of a role behind Michael Carter and rookie Breece Hall, but he lost out on the competition to be the No. 3 back. Ty Johnson and rookie Zonovan Knight... Read More

Colts Release Phillip Lindsay

The Indianapolis Colts released running back Phillip Lindsay on Tuesday, according to a source. Lindsay wasn't on the fantasy radar heading into the 2022 season behind both Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines, but he was battling for the No. 3 job in training camp and the preseason. With Lindsay now out of the picture, Deon... Read More

Duke Johnson Released By Bills

The Buffalo Bills released veteran running back Duke Johnson on Tuesday, but he could end up back on their practice squad if he doesn't sign with another team, according to a source. This shouldn't come as a huge surprise, as Johnson was working behind Devin Singletary, Zack Moss and rookie James Cook during training camp... Read More

Bills Release O.J. Howard Tuesday

The Buffalo Bills released tight end O.J. Howard on Tuesday, according to sources. There had been reports all summer long suggesting that Howard was in danger of being cut, and now it's official.

Chiefs Release Josh Gordon

The Kansas City Chiefs released wide receiver Josh Gordon on Tuesday, according to a source. Gordon showed great character on the field and in the community since he arrived in Kansas City, and the team is open to him returning, but he's currently the odd-man out. The 31-year-old veteran caught just five passes on 14... Read More
