Jarrett Stidham Will Miss Training Camp

New England Patriots quarterback Jarrett Stidham (back) underwent surgery and will miss the rest of training camp. Stidham had back surgery and was given a three-month timetable.

D.J. Fluker Placed On Injured Reserve

Miami Dolphins right guard D.J. Fluker (knee) has been placed on the injured reserve to begin training camp. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero hinted that the Dolphins might cut Fluker with an injury settlement. Fluker is currently sidelined due to a meniscus injury and should be back in roughly a month. The veteran guard made eight […]

Will Fuller Nearing Return To Practice

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Will Fuller (undisclosed) is nearing a return to practice, according to head coach Brian Flores. Fuller went down during the team's first practice, but the team is likely just playing it safe. The Dolphins are without Preston Williams (foot), DeVante Parker (undisclosed), and Fuller to kick off camp. It's worth noting […]

Josh Allen Not Close To Contract Extension

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen does not appear close to a contract extension with the organization. The Bills exercised their fifth-year option on Allen to keep him under team control through 2022. It sounds like the two sides could break off talks before August 15 and wait until next offseason. Buffalo is likely going to […]

Marquise Goodwin Making Early Camp Impact

Chicago Bears wide receiver Marquise Goodwin has flashed his potential during the early stages of training camp. The 30-year-old is healthy and ready to return to the field after opting out of last season. Thus far, his arrival in Chicago is tantalizing, hooking up with quarterback Andy Dalton on some deep passes through the first […]

Andy Dalton Flashing Veteran Confidence

Chicago Bears quarterback Andy Dalton has been impressing the coaching staff and teammates on the field and off through the first few days in camp. The veteran passer has been anointed the starting quarterback with rookie Justin Fields waiting in the wings. But Dalton has come into camp with plenty of confidence and has connected […]

Justin Fields Showing Intangibles

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields' first few days of training camp have been typical of a rookie thus far. Reports of every dynamite, next-level throw has been met with a misread or an interception in the early portions of camp. This is completely to be expected as Fields adjusts to the speed of the NFL […]

Colts Could Have Interest In Nick Foles

Chicago Bears backup quarterback Nick Foles currently is the team's third string quarterback behind Andy Dalton and Justin Fields. But for how long? Just two days after Chicago Bears coach Matt Nagy spoke about the trade value in having a third-string quarterback with a Super Bowl ring like Foles, there suddenly is a need for […]

Trent Grisham Hitless In Last Seven Games

San Diego Padres outfielder Trent Grisham is without a hit in his last seven contests. The 23-year-old is mired in a deep slump, batting just .133 (8-for-60) with one extra-base hit in the past 18 games. The downturn has dragged his season slash to .246/.336/.426 to accompany 11 homers, nine steals and 76 runs-plus-RBI in […]

David Montgomery Has 'Chip On Shoulder' Mentality

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery's training camp is off to a great start.

General manager Ryan Pace took the time to compliment Montgomery's camp specifically, telling The Athletic, […]

Kellen Mond Tests Positive For COVID

Minnesota Vikings backup quarterback Kellen Mond has been placed on the team's COVID-19 list on Monday after testing positive over the weekend. Mond's positive test has also removed starting quarterback Kirk Cousins and third-stringer Nate Stanley from the practice field due to high-risk close contact. This is not the way Mond wanted to start his […]

Bisi Johnson Placed On Injured Reserve

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Bisi Johnson was placed on injured reserve and is out for the 2021 season. Johnson tore his ACL during practice last week and surgery certainly is in the near future. The Vikings recently added to their receivers group by signing former Jaguars wideout Dede Westbrook but losing Johnson will affect their […]

Kirk Cousins Lands On COVID-Reserve List

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins has been placed on the team's COVID-19 reserve list. Backup quarterback Kellen Mond tested positive over the weekend, sending Cousins and third string quarterback Nate Stanley into protocol as high-risk close contacts.

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (COVID-19) will miss the second consecutive week of practices to open up camp. Jackson was added to the COVID-19 list last week, which is the second time since last year he has tested positive for the virus. There shouldn't be a cause for concern, as Jackson is well familiar with the […]

Ketel Marte Extends Hitting Streak To Nine Games

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Ketel Marte went 1-for-4 at the plate in his first game back from the injured list on Sunday against the Dodgers.

Veteran Losers After the 2021 NBA Draft

We're just a few days removed from the 2021 edition of the NBA Draft. As is always the case, just a couple of picks were virtual locks with the rest of the picks going left and right and handing us more than a few surprises. And that is without even entering the trade realm and […]

Adalberto Mondesi Might Not Start In 2022

Kansas City Royals shortstop Adalberto Mondesi (oblique) might not be the long term answer, according to Royals GM Dane Moore. Recently, Moore mentioned that he doesn't believe Mondesi is going to be an everyday player in 2022. "We're learning that we're going to have to manage his workloads in ways that he may not be […]

Julio Jones Leaves Practice Early

Newly acquired Tennessee Titans wide receiver Julio Jones left practice early today, walking to the sideline slowly under his own power. However, head coach Mike Vrabel said to the media that Jones will be fine. This could be a situation worth monitoring as Jones enters his age 32 season. He missed time last season with […]

Caleb Smith Struggles In Blowout Loss Sunday

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Caleb Smith struggled against the Dodgers on Sunday, allowing five runs on three hits and five walks while striking out three over 1 2/3 innings in a 13-0 loss.

John Axford Returns To Brewers

Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher John Axford has been traded to the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for cash considerations. The 38-year-old has not pitched in the majors since the 2018 season. Although, Axford has posted a 0.77 ERA and 15/3 K/BB ratio over 11 2/3 innings in the minors this season. He will immediately join […]

Eli Morgan Recalled, Starting Versus Blue Jays

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Eli Morgan has been recalled to make the start against the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday. Morgan has struggled with a 7.47 ERA over 31 1/3 innings with the Indians this season. This isn't an ideal spot for Morgan against a strong Blue Jays lineup. He won't be a recommended streaming […]

Chris Sale To Make Another Rehab Start

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale (elbow) is expected to make at least one more rehab start. He tossed five innings of one-run ball on Saturday in Triple-A Worcester. Sale has posted a 1.76 ERA and a 27/2 K/BB ratio in 15 1/3 innings over four starts in the minors. It sounds like Sale […]

Henry Ruggs III Improving As Route Runner

When addressing the media on Monday, Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver John Brown had some high praise for teammate Henry Ruggs III.

J.K. Dobbins Envisions Himself As Elite Running Back

Heading into the 2021 season, Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins will be the lead back in the most prolific rushing attack in the NFL. The Ravens' offensive coordinator Greg Roman has made it known that he expects the Baltimore running backs to have an expanded role in the passing game this season. In an […]

Myles Straw Leading Off Monday

Cleveland Indians outfielder Myles Straw will be playing center field and leading off in Monday's tilt against the Toronto Blue Jays and left-hander Robbie Ray. This looks to be the new approach for the Indians against left-handers as Straw also led off Saturday against White Sox left-hander Dallas Keuchel. Straw has plenty of speed, but […]

Carson Wentz To Have Surgery, Will Miss 5-12 Weeks

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz will have surgery to repair his foot that he injured during the first week of training camp.
