George Fant To Work Out With Titans

The Tennessee Titans will bring in former New York Jets offensive tackle George Fant for a workout on Saturday, according to sources. There's a good chance he'll sign, assuming all goes well with his workout. Titans starting right tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere is suspended for the first six games of the season, so Fant could step […]

Dennis Kelly Signs With Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles signed free-agent veteran offensive lineman Dennis Kelly to an undisclosed deal on Wednesday, according to a source. Kelly has 54 career NFL starts, including 15 in his first stint with the Eagles from 2012 to 2015. The Eagles took Kelly in the fifth round back in 2012. After three years in Philly, […]

Matt Mervis Rebounding In Triple-A

Chicago Cubs first base prospect Matt Mervis struggled in his MLB debut, slashing .167/.242/.289 with a 32.3% strikeout rate in 27 games before being optioned by Chicago to Triple-A Iowa on June 15. Despite the setback, the 25-year-old is hitting well with Iowa, slashing .319/.466/.536 with three home runs, 10 RBI, 12 runs, and a […]

James Mitchell Seems Like Roster Lock

MLive's Kyle Meinke thinks that Detroit Lions tight ends Sam LaPorta, Brock Wright and James Mitchell are roster locks heading into Week 1 of the regular season. And if Brandon Zylstra has a solid training camp, the team could take four tight ends into the regular season. Mitchell is big and physical at the position […]

Sam LaPorta Should Have Big Role Right Away

Detroit Lions rookie tight end Sam LaPorta has shown instincts and feel for the game early on and had an impressive spring during organized team activities and minicamp. He's expected to play a big role right away and will be an important weapon in Detroit's aerial attack in 2023. LaPorta has the ability to line […]

Connor Norby Collects 60th RBI

Baltimore Orioles second base prospect Connor Norby collected his 60th RBI of the season in a 2-for-4 showing for Triple-A Norfolk.

Is Denzel Mims A Good Fit For The Lions? Fantasy Football Outlook

The New York Jets agreed to trade former second-round pick Denzel Mims to the Detroit Lions. The 25-year-old wideout was never productive for New York, so he gets a change of scenery on an ascending Lions' offense. While it's easy to write him off after three quiet years in the NFL, there could be targets […]

Craig Reynolds Considered The Leader For No. 3 Role

Detroit Lions running back Craig Reynolds has won over the coaching staff with his reliability and consistency and has to be considered the leader for the No. 3 running back role behind rookie Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery, according to MLive's Kyle Meinke. Jermar Jefferson made some progress in 2022, but he'll continue to struggle […]

Jahmyr Gibbs Should Have Immediate Impact

The Detroit Lions parted ways with running backs Jamaal Williams and D'Andre Swift this offseason and drafted Jahmyr Gibbs with the 12th overall pick. The Lions view Gibbs as an Alvin Kamara-type back who will contribute equally in the passing and running games. Gibbs should take Swift's place in the offense immediately in 2023, and […]
