Tyler Allgeier Could Eventually Become Lead Back

Steelers Not Expected To Pay Diontae Johnson

The Pittsburgh Steelers aren't expected to offer wide receiver Diontae Johnson anything near what Terry McLaurin got from the Washington Commanders or any other receiver that received more than $20 million per year.

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher German Marquez (thumb) will make his scheduled start on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers after he threw a successful bullpen session over the weekend.

Toronto Blue Jays skipper Charlie Montoyo was impressed with right-hander Yimi Garcia's (back) first minor league rehab outing on Monday with Triple-A Buffalo when he struck out two batters in one inning of work.

New Orleans Saints rookie first-round offensive tackle Trevor Penning will compete with veteran James Hurst for the starting left tackle job in training camp following the departure of Terron Armstead this offseason.

Dallas Cowboys pass-rusher Micah Parsons had 13 sacks as a rookie and won Defensive Rookie of the Year, but he's setting his sights higher in his second NFL season.

James Proche II Stands Out In Offseason Workouts

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver James Proche II continually stood out during offseason practices. It's happened before with Proche and it hasn't translated to game days, partly because the Ravens haven't given him much of an opportunity. But The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec thinks he'll get a bigger opportunity this year and wouldn't be surprised if he […]
