Alvin Kamara Sits Out Wednesday's Practice

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (quadriceps, personal) did not take part in Wednesday's practice.

If he's able to return to practice on Thursday or Friday, he'll likely suit up in […]

No Practice For Jalen Hurts Wednesday

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (shoulder) missed the team's walkthrough practice on Wednesday.

The Texas Rangers designated right-hander Nick Mears for assignment on Tuesday to make room on the 40-man roster for the recently signed Nathan Eovaldi.

The Kansas City Royals designated infielder Ryan O'Hearn for assignment on Wednesday to make room on the 40-man roster for right-hander Jordan Lyles, who recently signed a two-year deal with the club.

Jalen Hurts Unlikely To Play In Week 17?

ESPN.com's Dan Graziano doesn't think the Philadelphia Eagles gave any real consideration to let quarterback Jalen Hurts (shoulder) play in Week 16 against the Dallas Cowboys, and Graziano would be surprised if Hurts plays in Week 17 against the New Orleans Saints.

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said he won't rest players in Week 18 against the Tennessee Titans next week unless they are injured. "There is never a meaningless game.

Denver Broncos owner and CEO Greg Penner said on Tuesday that he has faith that general manager George Paton and quarterback Russell Wilson can turn things around after a miserable 2022 season.
