Marquis Haynes Lands On Injured Reserve

The Carolina Panthers placed linebacker Marquis Haynes (back) on Injured Reserve on Monday due to a back injury that will keep him out for at least the first four games of the regular season. With Haynes starting the year on the sidelines, it should mean that Yetur Gross-Matos will see more defensive snaps on the […]

Carolina Panthers linebacker Brian Burns declined to take part in another practice on Monday while he looks for a new contract entering the final year of his rookie deal in 2023. Burns hasn't explained why he's been sitting out, but head coach Frank Reich said it was a "business decision." "My view of Brian Burns […]

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. Suddenly, as the team prepares for Week 1 against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, Mims could have a big role with Tim Patrick (Achilles) already out for the […]

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.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (calf) is "day-to-day" ahead of the team's Week 1 game against the Cleveland Browns, according to head coach Zac Taylor.

DeVante Parker Returns To Practice Monday

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.

Max Scherzer To Start On Wednesday

Texas Rangers right-hander Max Scherzer (forearm) is lined up to start on Wednesday this week against the division-rival Houston Astros. Scherzer admitted after his last start that he was dealing with some right-forearm tightness, but it's nothing concerning right now and he's taking steps to prevent it from turning into something worse. 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.
