Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley (hamstring) returned to practice on Monday after missing all of last week.

Michael Gallup Healthy And Ready To Contribute

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup is coming off arguably his worst season in the NFL in 2022, but The Athletic's Saad Yousuf and Jon Machota write that he's now healthy and in his rightful spot on the receiver depth chart in Dallas.

Marvin Mims Jr. Could Have Big Role To Open The Season

When the Denver Broncos took speedy wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. in this year's draft out of Oklahoma, it felt like more of a luxury pick.

Jerry Jeudy Works Off To The Side

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (hamstring) stretched with the team on Monday and then did conditioning work off to the side. It's a positive sign for him less than two weeks after injuring his right hamstring on Aug. 24.

New England Patriots wide receiver DeVante Parker (undisclosed), who was not spotted in the team's last two media-access portions of practice, was on the field on Monday.

Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen said that running back Zack Moss (arm) was at the team's walkthrough practice on Monday and is "progressing well" ahead of the Week 1 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Texas Rangers right-hander Max Scherzer (forearm) is lined up to start on Wednesday this week against the division-rival Houston Astros.

Despite not feeling […]

Luis Medina Activated And Starting Monday

The Oakland Athletics reinstated rookie right-hander Luis Medina (finger) from the 15-day injured list on Monday and optioned left-hander Kirby Snead to Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move.
