Updating a previous report, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (hamstring) was held out of practice on Wednesday due to a hamstring injury.

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay has ruled out wide receiver Cooper Kupp (hamstring) from the team's regular season opener in Week 1 against the Los Angeles Rams, and McVay isn't ruling out placing Kupp on Injured Reserve, which would keep him out for at least the first four games.

DJ Stewart Missing Another Game

New York Mets outfielder DJ Stewart (back) is sitting for the second straight game on Wednesday as the team takes on the Washington Nationals in D.C.

The Miami Marlins recalled right-hander Edward Cabrera from Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday, and he will make the start against the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers.

Najee Harris Not Giving Up Bell-Cow Duties Easily

The Athletic's Mark Kaboly doesn't think it would be shocking if Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris equals his numbers from a year ago when he had 313 total touches, even with the emergence of Jaylen Warren as a legitimate No. 2 option in the backfield. The Steelers limited Harris in the preseason in order […]
