Green Bay Packers starting safety Darnell Savage (hamstring) suffered a hamstring injury during the team's traditional "Family Night" practice at Lambeau Field on Friday.

Chiefs Sign Devin Gray

The Kansas City Chiefs signed free-agent wide receiver Devin Gray to an undisclosed one-year deal on Saturday after a solid workout, according to his agent.

Panthers Won't Rush Decision on Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold

Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said he won't make a "major decision" on any position, particularly between quarterbacks Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold, until after the Aug. 19 preseason game against the New England Patriots. "I'm not putting a timetable on the quarterback position until after we get back from the Patriots week," Rhule […]

Daniel Bellinger Looking Like No. 1 TE

New York Giants rookie tight end Daniel Bellinger was the clear No. 1 tight end at training camp practice on Friday. Chris Myarick saw action with the starters in rare two-tight end sets, while rookie Andre Miller lined up as a fullback in the jumbo goal-line formation. Bellinger is getting extra repetitions with the first-team […]

Francisco Lindor Going Off

New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor has been hot, and that didn't change on Friday when he went 2-for-5 with a run during the 9-6 loss to the Atlanta Braves. Since July, the 28-year-old's batting .314 with seven home runs and a .946 OPS. Across 105 games this year, Lindor's slashing .262/.341/.456 with 19 HRs, […]

Shohei Ohtani Was Never Close To Being Traded

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher/designated hitter Shohei Ohtani was "never close" to being traded prior to last week's deadline, per Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports MLB. This shouldn't come as much of a surprise but there were rumors that the Angels were fielding offers for the megastar before the trade deadline last week. Rosenthal said […]

David Bell Comes Off PUP List

The Cleveland Browns activated rookie wide receiver David Bell (foot) off the Physically Unable to Perform list on Saturday. The third-round pick out of Purdue was a consensus All-American in 2021 and is an intriguing prospect that could earn playing time early as a slot option for the Browns with Jarvis Landry now in New […]

Danny Young Claimed Off Waivers By Atlanta

Former Seattle Mariners left-handed pitcher Danny Young has been claimed off waivers by the Atlanta Braves. Atlanta optioned Young to Triple-A Gwinnett where he'll serve as relief depth for the ball club. The 28-year-old has surrendered three runs over two appearances (3 2/3 innings) this season and was designated for assignment by Seattle on August […]

Tyler Linderbaum Likely Out A Few Weeks

Baltimore Ravens first-round rookie center Tyler Linderbaum (foot) was injured in Friday's training camp practice and had an MRI exam that didn't show any real concerns. However, head coach John Harbaugh said that Linderbaum will likely be out for a week or two, which probably means he won't play in next Thursday's preseason opener against […]

Tommy Hunter Lands On The Injured List

New York Mets reliever Tommy Hunter (back) has been placed on the 15-day injured list with lower back tightness. The veteran reliever has been solid in a limited role for the Mets this year, putting together a 2.51 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, and 16:2 K/BB ratio over 14 1/3 innings (11 appearances) of relief. David Peterson […]

James Proche II Playing Lights-Out In Training Camp

Baltimore Ravens third-year wide receiver James Proche II has been standing out at training camp this summer. He's made a few plays in just about every practice so far and he's working pretty much every area of the field. Proche's precise route-running has made him a nightmare to cover on one-on-one drills. The former sixth-rounder […]

Kirby Yates To Make Another Rehab Start On Sunday

Atlanta Braves reliever Kirby Yates (elbow) is set to make another rehab start on Sunday at Triple-A Gwinnett, according to manager Brian Snitker. The 35-year-old righty made back-to-back hitless appearances earlier this week and didn't sustain any setbacks. He'll likely need a few more rehab outings before joining the Braves' bullpen later this month. Once […]

Byron Pringle To Miss Time With Quad Injury

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus said that wide receiver Byron Pringle (quadriceps) will miss some time with a quadriceps injury, but there is no specific timetable for his return. Cornerback Kyler Gordon and rookie receiver Velus Jones Jr. are also day-to-day with undisclosed injuries. It hasn't been a good summer for Pringle with his […]

Mike Mayers Has Contract Purchased

Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Mike Mayers has had his contract selected from Triple-A Salt Lake and will join the team's 40-man roster. The 30-year-old righty was outrighted to the minors back in early June but has now made his way back to the majors. He posted a poor 5.40 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, and 14:6 […]

Jaycee Horn Making A Slow Recovery

Carolina Panthers cornerback Jaycee Horn's (foot) slow recovery from a foot injury from 11 months ago is a little disconcerting, according to The Athletic's Joseph Person. Horn hasn't taken part in any team drills at training camp after coming off the Physically Unable to Perform list, and he won't participate in practice for several more […]

Michael Lorenzen Transferred To 60-Day Injured List

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Michael Lorenzen (shoulder) has been transferred from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL. This was just a procedural move to open up a spot on the Angels' 40-man roster. Lorenzen has been out since the beginning of July with a right shoulder strain but has recently resumed a […]

C.J. Saunders Impressing Again This Summer

Carolina Panthers wide receiver C.J. Saunders impressed during last year's training camp as an undrafted free agent, but most wrote him off as an undersized receiver making the most of his repetitions in non-contact drills against second- and third-stringers. Saunders is impressing again this year, often against the starting secondary, and it's clear he's earned […]

Christian McCaffrey's Stock Is Rising

Although the Carolina Panthers are being cautious with running back Christian McCaffrey at training camp this summer after a rash of injuries the last two seasons, he's not exactly taking it easy either. Head coach Matt Rhule said McCaffrey won't practice more than two days in a row in full pads, but he's still getting […]

Janson Junk Optioned To Triple-A

Los Angeles Angels reliever Janson Junk has been optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday. The 26-year-old right-hander owns a rough 6.48 ERA, 1.56 WHIP, and 11:3 K/BB ratio over 8 1/3 innings (three games, two starts). Reliever Mike Mayers had his contract purchased and will join the Angels' bullpen in a corresponding move.

Michael Thomas Making Progress

New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen said that wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) was in team drills at training camp practice for the first time on Saturday and came out of them with no setbacks. Thomas even went to the ground and had no issues. So far, Thomas has looked really good at training […]

Oliver Ortega Added To Angels Roster Ahead of Doubleheader

Los Angeles Angels right-handed pitcher Oliver Ortega was added to the team's roster ahead of Saturday's doubleheader against the Seattle Mariners. The 25-year-old righty will serve as the Angels' 27th man and work out of the bullpen if he makes an appearance. He owns a 3.82 ERA, 1.52 WHIP, and 31:18 K/BB ratio over 33 […]

Cam Reddish Could Get Traded

New York Knicks forward Cam Reddish has not experienced an easy journey in the NBA. He has struggled to find consistent playing time in both Atlanta and New York. It's uncertain if Reddish is currently in the Knicks plans for next season. The Los Angeles Lakers had interest in Reddish around the trade deadline. Possibly, […]

Tom Brady Returns To The Team

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady is back at training camp practice on Saturday after a day off and some personal days. There's really nothing to see here. The future first-ballot Hall of Famer hasn't practiced in a few days, but we think he'll be just fine. He'll also be held out of the team's […]

Kevin Durant Might Stay In Brooklyn

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant might end up being stuck with the organization despite his trade request. Ian Begley reported that no other organization wants to get involved and help out the Nets. It would take a ridiculous amount of assets to obtain Durant in a trade. That being said, there would likely need to […]

Art Warren Starts Rehab Assignment On Saturday

Cincinnati Reds relief pitcher Art Warren (forearm) is starting a rehab assignment on Saturday at Triple-A Louisville. The 29-year-old reliever has been dealing with a right flexor pronator strain in his right arm since the beginning of July. He'll get a few minor league games under his belt before joining the Reds sometime in mid-August. […]

Mike Evans Day-To-Day With Hamstring Injury

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) is "day-to-day" with a hamstring injury that he suffered in practice on Friday at training camp. Evans has a history of minor hamstring injuries, but he should be just fine after sitting out potentially a couple days of practice. Barring another […]

Tyrese Maxey Continues To Impress

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey has made huge strides in his game since joining the league. Head coach Doc Rivers went as far as to say Maxey is the most impressive young player that he's had during his career coaching. Once James Harden joined the team, Maxey's game went to another level. The expectation is […]

Austin Hays Remains Out Saturday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Austin Hays (oblique) is out of the starting lineup again on Saturday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Hays is dealing with oblique tightness, but he downplayed the injury on Friday, so he could return to Baltimore's lineup on Sunday. Brett Phillips will get another start in left field on Saturday while hitting ninth […]

Quentin Grimes Wants Expanded Role

New York Knicks guard Quentin Grimes recently said that he wants to have an expanded role on the team next season. He put together a fantastic performance during the Summer League. Grimes has been mainly playing off the ball, but is ready for more responsibility. The 22-year-old could very well compete for playing time with […]
