New England Patriots offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien said "Yeah. Yes" when asked if quarterback Mac Jones is expected to start in Week 7 against the division-rival Buffalo Bills.

Oakland Athletics catcher Carlos Perez became a free agent on Monday when he declined an outright assignment to Triple-A Las Vegas.

Carson Fulmer, Others Outrighted By Angels

The Los Angeles Angels outrighted right-hander Carson Fulmer, catcher Chad Wallach, outfielder Brett Phillips and pitcher Jhonathan Diaz to Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.
