Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz (knee) aggravated his sprained PCL in the Week 5 win over the Los Angeles Rams, according to a source. However, there is no new injury or damage, so as long as he makes it through the practice week OK, he should be good to go for Sunday Night Football […]

Atlanta Picks Up Option For Jalen Johnson
Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson had his third-year option exercised on Tuesday.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster had a disappointing performance in the team's 30-29 win over the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders on Monday Night Football.

Clay Holmes Will Play In ALDS Against Guardians
New York Yankees relief pitcher Clay Holmes (shoulder) is on the team's roster for the American League Division Series this week against the Cleveland Guardians.

New York Yankees infielder Matt Carpenter (foot) is on the team's roster for the American League Division Series this week against the Cleveland Guardians.
