The New Orleans Saints have parted ways with co-defensive coordinator/secondary coach Kris Richard, according to sources.

Richard had interviews […]

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (illness) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Miami Heat. The 26-year-old will sit this game out due to a non-COVID related illness.

Doug Nussmeier Interviews For Ravens OC Job

Dallas Cowboys quarterbacks coach Doug Nussmeier interviewed for the Baltimore Ravens' open offensive coordinator position on Wednesday, according to multiple sources.

Marcus Mariota Is A Cut Candidate

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Marcus Mariota (knee) is unlikely to be with the organization next season. The 29-year-old left the team after getting benched and underwent surgery on his knee. The Falcons would save $12 million by cutting Mariota before June 1st. That being said, it seems increasingly likely the Falcons will move on from Mariota. […]

Los Angeles Chargers running back Joshua Kelley could see himself with a bigger role heading into next season.

Mecole Hardman Unlikely To Play In Super Bowl

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman (pelvis) is unlikely to suit up for the upcoming Super Bowl against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg (ribs, shoulder) is throwing near his home in D.C., but his pitching prognosis remains unclear after thoracic outlet surgery.

Anthony Rendon Feeling "Fantastic"

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon (wrist) is said to be feeling "fantastic" this offseason after a season that was marred by injury in 2022.

Kodai Senga Had Iffy Physical With Mets

New York Mets starting pitcher Kodai Senga throws 100 mph and has a forkball so nasty that it's called a "ghost pitch," but he only received a $75 million deal over five years as a mid-rotation starter due to what sources are calling an iffy physical with the team. It's common for Japanese pitchers to […]

Shane Steichen To Interview With Colts Again

Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Shane Steichen is scheduled to have his second interview for the Indianapolis Colts' head-coaching position on Saturday.

Aaron Glenn Expected To Get Another Look In Arizona

Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn is expected to get another interview for the Arizona Cardinals' head-coaching position, according to a league source.

Mike White To Draw Interest As High-End Backup

New York Jets impending free-agent quarterback Mike White is likely to draw interest on the open market this offseason as a high-end backup. White had his moments in 2022 after taking over for the struggling Zach Wilson, but he's injury-prone and commits too many turnovers. He has started only seven games in his NFL game, […]

Falcons Still Consider Feleipe Franks A Tight End

It sounds as though the Atlanta Falcons haven't given up on making Feleipe Franks a tight end. The former college quarterback was moved to the tight end position last year and showed flashes during training camp, but he didn't have any catches during the regular season and was only targeted twice. Franks is under contract […]

Falcons Expected To Re-Sign Olamide Zaccheaus, KhaDarel Hodge

The Atlanta Falcons are expected to re-sign impending unrestricted free-agent wide receivers Olamide Zaccheaus and KhaDarel Hodge this offseason. Zaccheaus was second on the team with 40 catches for 533 yards in 2022. "Just an extremely unselfish guy and the kind of guy you want in your program," wide receivers coach T.J. Yates said. Hodge […]

Is Desmond Ridder The Future In Atlanta?

The Athletic's Josh Kendall writes that the consensus is that nobody outside the Atlanta Falcons building knows whether the team is committed to quarterback Desmond Ridder for the long term because no one inside the building is talking. Ridder started the final four games of 2022 and went 73-for-115 for 708 yards, two touchdowns and […]

John Konchar Available Thursday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward John Konchar (concussion) has come off the injury report and is available for Thursday's game versus the Cavaliers.

Ziaire Williams Questionable On Thursday

Memphis Grizzlies small forward Ziaire Williams (knee) is regarded as questionable for Thursday's contest against Cleveland.

He's been averaging 18.8 minutes […]

Patrick Mahomes Says He's In "A Good Spot"

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (ankle) said he didn't aggravate his right high-ankle sprain in the AFC Championship win over the Cincinnati Bengals and just experienced general soreness from a physical game.

Danny Green Won't Play On Thursday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Danny Green (knee) will be kept out of Thursday's meeting with the Cavaliers.

Jaren Jackson Jr. Doubtful For Thursday's Action

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. (thigh) is doubtful for Thursday's game against Cleveland.

Caris LeVert Considered Questionable Thursday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Caris LeVert (hamstring) has been added to the injury report ahead of Thursday's encounter with Memphis.

Anthony Davis Considered Probable For Thursday's Game

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (foot) is probable for Thursday's game against Indiana.

The Lakers have been slowly […]

LeBron James Questionable For Thursday

Max Kepler Likely Staying With Twins

The probability of the Minnesota Twins trading outfielder Max Kepler has been significantly reduced with spring training quickly approaching.

The desired interest in Kepler just wasn't there this offseason after he produced a 2.0 wins […]

Orioles Invite Jackson Holliday To Camp

Baltimore Orioles shortstop prospect Jackson Holliday has been invited to major-league spring training as a non-roster player.
