Lions Sign Jordan Ta'amu

The Detroit Lions have signed quarterback Jordan Ta'amu, who spent the 2020 season on the Chiefs practice squad. Ta'amu was a successful quarterback during the XFL's revival, but it's not clear if that production will translate to an NFL field at any point. Ta'amu actually spent brief time on the Lions practice squad in December […]

49ers Waive Josh Rosen

The San Francisco 49ers have waived quarterback Josh Rosen. A first-round pick in 2018, Rosen's NFL career has been a complete dud.

Mike Strachan Impressing In Colts Camp

Indianapolis Colts rookie wide receiver Mike Strachan has reportedly been impressing the team during preseason practices, including drawing praise from Colts cornerback Xavier Rhodes.

Jacob Eason, Sam Ehlinger Both Impressing

The Indianapolis Colts still hope that quarterback Carson Wentz (foot) will be back to start the regular season, but if Wentz is unable to go, the team's other quarterbacks are doing their best to show they're ready for action.

Kahale Warring On Roster Bubble

Houston Texans tight end Kahale Warring -- the team's third-round pick in 2019 -- might be running out of time to make an impact in H-Town.

Nonetheless, the 25-year-old could be ready to go […]

Mark Ingram II Likely To Make Final Roster

Houston Texans running back Mark Ingram II seems likely to make the team's final roster, according to Aaron Reiss of The Athletic. Ingram didn't play in the team's first preseason game, a possible sign that he isn't in a fight for a roster spot. In fact, Reiss seems to think that Ingram will be competing […]

Davis Mills Could Get Shot At Some Point

Houston Texans rookie quarterback Davis Mills will begin the season as the backup quarterback to veteran Tyrod Taylor, but Aaron Reiss of The Athletic believes Mills could get a chance to play at some point. Houston is pretty devoid of talent on both sides of the ball, so once the team is officially out of […]

Ryan Yarbrough To Follow Opener

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Ryan Yarbrough (COVID-19) will be activated and follow opener Louis Head for Wednesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Yarbrough was placed on the 10-day injured list on August 10 for COVID-19 related reasons. He's had a poor year on the mound, starting […]

Jose Abreu Continues His Power Surge

Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's victory versus the Oakland Athletics.

Eagles Waive Kerryon Johnson

The Philadelphia Eagles waived running back Kerryon Johnson on Tuesday, although an injured reserve designation remains a possibility.

Rhys Hoskins Not Ready To Return Yet

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins (groin) did some baseball activities on Tuesday, but is still not ready to return, according to Matt Gelb of The Athletic.
