Mason Tipton Leaves Practice Early With Hamstring Injury

New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Mason Tipton (hamstring) left Wednesday's practice early with a hamstring injury. The severity of the injury is unknown, but this certainly puts his chances of playing in the Saints preseason opener in jeopardy. Tipton has been a standout at camp thus far and is making his case for a […]

Hendon Hooker Heads To Locker Room

Detroit Lions quarterback Hendon Hooker  (undisclosed) was removed from Thursday night's game against the New York Giants to be evaluated in the locker room.

Jordan Mason Making Waves At 49ers Camp

San Francisco 49ers running back Jordan Mason is making the most of his opportunities in camp in the absence of superstar running back Christian McCaffrey (calf).

Jerry Jones: No Urgency To Get Deal Done With CeeDee Lamb

When asked about contract talks regarding star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb on Thursday, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he doesn't "have any urgency to get it done." This standoffish stance paints a drastically different picture than Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones did just two weeks back when he said a new offer had […]

Drew Lock Injured In Preseason Opener

New York Giants quarterback Drew Lock (hip) suffered a hip injury in Thursday night's preseason opener against the Detroit Lions and is considered questionable to return. Given that this is a preseason contest, we highly doubt that Lock will return to this game. The 27-year-old made the start for the G-Men with the Giants sitting […]

Ladd McConkey Back At Practice On Thursday

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Ladd McConkey (lower body) returned to training camp practice on Thursday and was seen in a helmet and in uniform.

Sam Darnold To Start In Preseason Opener

Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said that the team will play the majority of their players in the preseason opener on Saturday against the Las Vegas Raiders. Quarterback Sam Darnold will start under center, and then rookie first-rounder J.J. McCarthy will get "a significant amount of work." Jaren Hall will come in after McCarthy. […]

Geno Smith Not Expected To Play In Preseason Opener

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith is not expected to play in Saturday's preseason opener against the Los Angeles Chargers, according to head coach Mike Macdonald.

Jacob Misiorowski Sharp In Second Triple-A Outing

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitching prospect Jacob Misiorowski was sharp in his second outing at Triple-A on Wednesday. The right-hander logged two shutout innings.

Austin Hays Sitting Out On Thursday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Austin Hays (hamstring) is not in the team's starting lineup for Thursday's series opener in Arizona against the hosting Diamondbacks and left-hander Jordan Montgomery.

Chase DeLauter Goes Deep On Wednesday

Cleveland Guardians outfield prospect Chase DeLauter went 1-for-4 with a long ball on Wednesday evening. This was DeLauter's first long ball since returning to Double-A Akron on July 27.

Victor Robles Remains In Leadoff Spot For Mariners

Seattle Mariners outfielder Victor Robles is starting in center field and will hit out of the leadoff spot again on Thursday night against the visiting Detroit Tigers.

Houston Texans wide receiver Noah Brown (shoulder) is nearing a return to the practice field. Brown has been out of practice since suffering a shoulder strain last week. It's uncertain if it's related to the same shoulder he injured during the Wild Card game in January. Regardless, Brown shouldn't be sidelined for much longer. He'll […]
