Harold Castro Sitting With Thumb Injury

Detroit Tigers first baseman Harold Castro (thumb) is not in the starting lineup on Friday against the Los Angeles Angels.

J.D. Martinez Resting Friday

Boston Red Sox designated hitter J.D. Martinez is not in the starting lineup on Friday against the Baltimore Orioles. It appears that Martinez is just getting a normal day of rest.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber (calf) is back in the starting lineup on Friday against the New York Mets and right-hander Chris Bassitt, serving as the designated hitter and batting leadoff.

Nelson Agholor Has Been Consistent

New England Patriots wide receiver Nelson Agholor has been very consistent dating back to organized team activities in the spring, and it seems like he's in a good place as far as grasping the offense and earning quarterback Mac Jones' confidence.

Jacoby Brissett Won't Play Against Eagles

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski is sticking with his plan not to play quarterback Jacoby Brissett in the second preseason game this Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Dak Prescott Having An Excellent Camp

According to Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones, quarterback Dak Prescott is having the best training camp of his career this summer. "Velocity, his accuracy, the whole thing.

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said he's not going to get into the extent of running back Miles Sanders' hamstring injury, adding that Sanders has tightness and soreness and that the team is being "precautious with him."

Jelani Woods Starting To Improve

Indianapolis Colts rookie tight end Jelani Woods looked hesitant early on in training camp and was dropping passes, but he's slowly made progress and the Colts are counting on him to be the third tight end behind starters Mo Alie-Cox and Kylen Granson now that fellow rookie Andrew Ogletree (knee) is done for the season. […]

Kicking Job Is Rodrigo Blankenship's To Lose

The Athletic's Zak Keefer gets the sense that the Indianapolis Colts kicking job is Rodrigo Blankenship's to lose in training camp. Jake Verity missed an extra point in the preseason opener against the Buffalo Bills, which is close to a death knell in a kicking competition. Blankenship went 5-for-5 and hit a 55-yarder in Wednesday's […]

Michael Pittman Jr. Looks Primed To Break Out

No player has flashed more often in Indianapolis Colts training camp than wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. this summer, and the third-year pass-catcher looks primed to break out and build off his 1,000-yard season in 2021. The Detroit Lions didn't have an answer for him all week in two joint practices. With quarterback Matt Ryan […]

P.J. Walker Named Starter For Second Preseason Game

Carolina Panthers quarterback P.J. Walker has been named the starter for the second preseason matchup against the New England Patriots.

The organization has […]

Boston Scott Returns To Practice

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott (head) has returned to the practice field. The 27-year-old missed over a week of practice due to a concussion.

Diontae Johnson Back To Being Fully Healthy

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (hip) said that he is fully healthy after dealing with a hip-flexor issue.

Johnson was a stud last season […]

Joe Flacco Looking Impressive In Camp

New York Jets quarterback Joe Flacco has reportedly been on fire during training camp, according to Zack Rosenblatt. The veteran quarterback completed 10 straight passes during 11-on-11 practice.

Josh Hader Struggles On Thursday

San Diego Padres relief pitcher Josh Hader hasn't been able to find his groove since being acquired by the organization.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer has been on fire with the bat since returning from the injured list. He went 5-for-5 with an RBI during Thursday's victory over the New York Yankees.

Kyle Finnegan Records Sixth Save

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Kyle Finnegan threw a scoreless ninth inning against the San Diego Padres on Thursday night.

Finnegan has converted six of […]

David Peterson Likely To Be Recalled

New York Mets starting pitcher David Peterson is expected to be recalled for Saturday's doubleheader against the Philadelphia Phillies. The left-hander could very well stay up at the big league with Carlos Carrasco (oblique) sidelined. He holds a 3.30 ERA and 91/38 K/BB ratio over 79 innings this season. Those are fairly decent stats, so […]

Marcell Ozuna Arrested On Friday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Marcell Ozuna was arrested early Friday morning for driving under the influence.

Will Dissly Plays Sparingly Against Bears

Seattle Seahawks tight end Will Dissly played just eight snaps in Thursday's preseason game against the Chicago Bears and wasn't targeted at all. Dissly sat out of the preseason opener last week and has been the clear backup behind George Fant so far in preseason action. The 26-year-old should be more involved during the regular […]

DK Metcalf Plays One Offensive Series Thursday

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf played the opening offensive series against the Chicago Bears on Thursday in the team's second preseason game, but he wasn't targeted at all.

Geno Smith Bangs His Knee Thursday

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that quarterback Geno Smith (knee) banged his knee in Thursday's preseason game against the Chicago Bears but that he could have returned to the contest.
