Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber (calf) remains out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against right-hander T.J. Zeuch and the Cincinnati Reds.

JuJu Smith-Schuster Dealing With Sore Knee

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) missed training camp practice on Tuesday due to a sore knee.

The 25-year-old […]

Pirates To Recall Roansy Contreras

The Pittsburgh Pirates are recalling right-hander Roansy Contreras from the minors on Tuesday. Contreras has thrown 50 innings in the majors for the Pirates so far this season, making 12 appearances, nine of which were starts.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receivers Mike Evans (hamstring) and Russell Gage (leg) will not take part in joint practices with the Tennessee Titans this week, according to head coach Todd Bowles.

Jaylen Waddle Misses Practice Tuesday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle was present on Tuesday but didn't take part in training camp practice for undisclosed reasons.

Roquan Smith Will Travel For Second Preseason Game

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus said that linebacker Roquan Smith, who is still seeking a new contract and has asked to be traded, will travel with the team to Seattle to face the Seahawks in their second preseason game.

Washington Wants Antonio Gibson To Be More Decisive

The Washington Commanders still like running back Antonio Gibson a lot and he can provide big plays, but the team wants him to be more consistent in the way he runs and to be more "one-cut and go." Gibson gets himself in trouble when he becomes indecisive about when or where to cut, which leads […]

Robert Woods To See Plenty Of Targets

ESPN's Turron Davenport believes Tennessee Titans wide receiver Robert Woods should be a higher fantasy priority than rookie Treylon Burks because he'll get plenty of targets as the team's No. 1 wideout. Before his injury last year with the Los Angeles Rams, Woods averaged 132 targets per season. The Titans won't throw the ball as […]

49ers Won't Ask Too Much Of Trey Lance

The San Francisco 49ers have made it clear that they aren't going to ask too much of quarterback Trey Lance in his first full season as the starter. They have a strong defense, plenty of talent at the skilled offensive positions and a good running game. Lance has been inconsistent in training camp, which will […]

Brandon Aiyuk Could Lead Team In Catches And Yards

ESPN's Nick Wagoner doesn't believe it's outrageous to think that San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk could lead the team in receptions and yards in 2022, barring another injury. He has been the team's most consistent offensive performer in training camp, and the rapport he built with quarterback Trey Lance in the offseason is […]

George Pickens Likely To Be Significant Factor On Offense

No matter who wins the starting quarterback job for the Pittsburgh Steelers, rookie wide receiver George Pickens is likely to be a significant factor on offense this year. The Steelers also have Diontae Johnson and Chase Claypool, but Pickens has carved out a role with his impressive footwork and contested-catch abilities. He's been a favorite […]

How Much Money Will Lamar Jackson Make with his New Contract Extension?

With quarterbacks Kyler Murray, Deshaun Watson, and Aaron Rodgers each earning contracts with base salaries of at least $46 million and $100 million guaranteed, the pressure is on the Ravens to get a deal done with Lamar Jackson.

Jonathan Taylor To See Smaller Workload?

ESPN.com's Stephen Holder still thinks Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor is a good pick at No. 1 overall in fantasy football drafts, even with the Colts planning to reduce his workload in Year 3. Holder expects Taylor's touches to be lower than in 2021, but his propensity for big plays still makes him the […]

Dameon Pierce Could Become Starter In First Month

According to ESPN.com's DJ Bien-Aime, Houston Texans rookie running back Dameon Pierce could take over the starting job by the first month of the regular season. Former Indianapolis Colt Marlon Mack has the most production of the group, which also features Rex Burkhead, but Pierce is the most explosive. It's only a matter of time […]

Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy To Have Prominent Roles

With Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick (knee) out for the year, receivers Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy will have more prominent roles in the offense. Quarterback Russell Wilson has shown in training camp that he's going to move the ball around to find favorable matchups, but he's also shown in practices that when he […]

Antonio Gibson Working With Punt Team

Washington Commanders running back Antonio Gibson is playing the slot on the punt-block team in training camp practice, which appears to be a new development. Special teams coordinator Nate Kaczor likes running backs in the slot because the role is similar to pass protection. In the past, it's been rookie Brian Robinson in that spot. […]

Chris Godwin Ramping Up His Activity

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (knee) has ramped up from individual drills to seven-on-seven work in the last two days of training camp practice.
