Tyreek Hill Dealing With Minor Injury

The Miami Dolphins are taking it slow with wide receiver Tyreek Hill (undisclosed) this spring -- he's done very little beyond individual drills during offseason practices -- because he's dealing with a minor undisclosed injury.

Oakland Athletics rookie right-hander Mason Miller (elbow) has resumed a throwing program. It's a good start, but Miller has a ways to go before the A's return him to their starting rotation.

George Kittle Impressed With Trey Lance This Offseason

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle is among those who think quarterback Trey Lance looks better and more comfortable this year than he did at this point a year ago when he was still adjusting to a 2021 broken finger that threw off his mechanics. "I'm not gonna lie to you — I think […]

Brandon Aiyuk Has Looked Great

The Athletic's Matt Barrows writes that San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has looked like the best player on the field the past two weeks during organized team activities and minicamp.

Deebo Samuel Promises Bounce-Back Season

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel wants to make amends for a subpar season in 2022 after describing last year as "awful" while acknowledging that a sometimes-prickly contract negotiation was a distraction that left him "being the eight ball" when the season started. He finished with 864 combined yards in 13 games, a step […]
