Willson Contreras Could Be Shopped

The Chicago Cubs will likely try to work out a contract extension with catcher Willson Contreras, who can become a free agent a year from now. However, if a deal can't be reached, president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer "will almost certainly shop" the 29-year-old backstop. Contreras was worth 2.1 Wins Above Replacement in 2021, […]

Richard Sherman, Lavonte David Return To Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Richard Sherman (hamstring) and linebacker Lavonte David (ankle) both returned to limited practices on Wednesday, while outside linebacker Jason Pierre-Paul (finger, shoulder) didn't practice.

San Francisco 49ers defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw (knee) is currently in Los Angeles being evaluated, and he could need season-ending surgery.

Joe Flacco Likely To Be Inactive In Week 8

New York Jets quarterback Joe Flacco, who was acquired from the Philadelphia Eagles this week, is likely to be inactive in Week 8 against the Cincinnati Bengals, according to head coach Robert Saleh.

Tevin Coleman Out Wednesday, Tyler Kroft Limited

New York Jets running back Tevin Coleman (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday, while tight end Tyler Kroft (back) was limited.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker (hamstring, shoulder), who has missed the last three games due to injury, was limited in practice on Wednesday.

Cade Cunningham Could Make His Debut On Saturday

Detroit Pistons point guard Cade Cunningham (ankle) suffered an ankle injury during training camp. He went on sit out the entire preseason and he has yet to play during the regular season.

Curtis Samuel, Dyami Brown Not Practicing

Washington Football Team wide receivers Curtis Samuel (groin) and Dyami Brown (knee) remained out of practice on Wednesday. Samuel's groin injury has been bothering him since June, and he's played in only two games in his first season in D.C., catching four of his five targets for just 19 yards. If the 25-year-old doesn't make […]
