Damarea Crockett Elevated From Practice Squad

Denver Broncos running back Damarea Crockett was elevated from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars. All three of the team's running backs are healthy so it remains to be seen what type of role he will have in Week 2. He did appear on the field for 63 percent of special […]

Sonny Gray Takes Eighth Loss On Saturday

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Sonny Gray allowed three runs (two earned) over six innings of work in a 5-1 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday. Gray struck out five and walked two in the outing. The Cincinnati offense has gone cold of late, which has left a smaller margin for error for the Reds […]

Sony Michel Could Remain An Afterthought

Los Angeles Rams running back Sony Michel could remain in a clear backup role for yet another week. "You have confidence that you can utilize him, if need be," explained head coach Sean McVay. "But Darrell Henderson, I thought, did a great job." This certainly does not sound like a vote of confidence in the […]

Joey Slye Rejoins Texans' Roster

Houston Texans kicker Joey Slye was promoted to the active roster again ahead of the team's Week 2 contest against the Browns. He was very impressive in Week 1, connecting on all three field-goal and all four extra-point attempts. All in all, he owns an 80.3 percent field goal rate and 90.7 percent extra point […]

Tee Higgins Looking To Replicate Week 1 Success

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins had a strong showing in Week 1, finishing the win over the Minnesota Vikings with 58 yards and a touchdown off four catches. Although his scoring output was sidetracked by a trip to the locker room for an IV, it was still a successful performance overall. Higgins should continue […]

Ryan Yarbrough Yields Four Runs In Saturday’s Loss

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Ryan Yarbrough (8-6) allowed four earned runs on five hits and no walks while striking out four over six innings during Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Detroit Tigers. He was tagged with his sixth loss of the season. The southpaw was hurt by the long ball and surrendered home runs to […]

Trey Ragas Promoted To Active Roster

Las Vegas Raiders running back Trey Ragas was promoted to the active roster on Saturday. He'll presumably fill the No. 3 role in the backfield with Josh Jacobs (toe, ankle) sidelined. Ahead of Ragas, Kenyan Drake and Peyton Barber will occupy lead roles on Sunday. Ragas, a rookie, joined Las Vegas as an undrafted free […]

Manuel Margot Reaches Base Four Times In Saturday’s Loss

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Manuel Margot went 3-for-3 with a double and a walk during Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Detroit Tigers. He logged his third three-hit effort of the season in Saturday's loss. The 26-year-old is starting to heat up and has recorded a hit in nine of his last 10 games. Margot is […]

Jordan Luplow Launches 11th Home Run On Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Jordan Luplow went 2-for-2 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Detroit Tigers.

The 27-year-old entered Saturday's game 0-for-7 with four strikeouts […]

D'Andre Swift Should Be Good For Week 2

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (groin) should be good to go for the Week 2 clash against the Packers. The sophomore continues to be plagued by a nagging groin ailment. However, after he practiced fully on Friday and head coach Dan Campbell indicated he is "fine," he should see the field, although he'll likely […]

Jamaal Williams Sheds Injury Designation

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams (chest) practiced in full on Saturday and does not carry an injury designation heading into Monday Night Football against the Packers. He started Week 1's contest over D'Andre Swift but both turned in highly effective productions. Now, Swift (groin) is listed as questionable for Week 2, though the expectation […]

Jamaal Williams Removed From Injury Report

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams (chest) is no longer an occupant on the team's official injury report. The veteran practiced sparingly throughout the week, which now appears to be purely precautionary. He had a fantastic Week 1, too, racking up 54 yards and a touchdown off nine carries during the loss to the San […]

Kalif Raymond Added To Injury Report

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond (thigh) was added to the injury report ahead of Monday night's game against the Packers. He enters Week 2 listed as questionable. The Lions' depleted receiving corps is already without Tyrell Williams (concussion), making Raymond's injury all the more troublesome. If he can't suit up, Amon-Ra St. Brown and […]

Ja’Marr Chase Ready For Week 2

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase is looking to find the end zone for the second straight week. After a volatile preseason filled with dropped passes, the rookie led the team during the Week 1 win over the Minnesota Vikings, finishing with a team-high 101 yards and a touchdown off five catches (seven targets). While […]

Dee Eskridge Downgraded To Out

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Dee Eskridge (concussion) was downgraded to out ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans. This comes as no surprise considering the rookie was unable to practice all week long. In Week 1, he hauled in his lone target for six yards. He also rushed twice for 22 yards on the ground. […]

Marcus Mariota Lands On Injured Reserve

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Marcus Mariota (quadriceps) landed on the injured reserve list on Saturday.

Carson Kelly Not Starting Saturday

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Carson Kelly isn't starting on Saturday against right-hander Lance McCullers Jr. and the Houston Astros. Kelly has provided quality production at the catcher position when healthy this season, especially in leagues where on-base percentage is part of the scoring. In 316 plate appearances for Arizona this year, the 26-year-old is hitting .237 […]

Eric Hosmer Isn't In Saturday's Lineup

San Diego Padres first baseman Eric Hosmer will be on the bench for Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Joey Gallo Exited Saturday's Game With Neck Tightness

New York Yankees outfielder Joey Gallo (neck) left Saturday's game against the Indians early due to injury. Gallo is dealing with neck stiffness, which he received treatment for Friday night.
