Packers Trying To Restructure Aaron Rodgers' Contract

The Green Bay Packers are trying to negotiate a restructured contract with quarterback Aaron Rodgers that would free up salary cap space for the 2021 season.

The Dallas Cowboys plan to move recently signed safety Keanu Neal to weakside linebacker in 2021, according to sources informed of the situation.

Garcia will return to Arizona for a third season. He returned from a torn ACL in 2019 and appeared in 14 games in 2020 while playing 69 offensive snaps. Garcia […]

Kyrie Irving To Miss Next Three Games

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (personal) has been ruled out for the upcoming three-game road trip. He is dealing with a family matter and is currently away from the team.

The Pittsburgh Steelers signed free-agent wide receiver Tyler Simmons to an undisclosed one-year deal on Monday. The team also re-signed defensive lineman Chris Wormley to an undisclosed two-year deal. Simmons went undrafted in 2020 and spent time last season on the Houston Texans practice squad.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Ruled Out Versus Pacers

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Indiana Pacers.

Both Donte Divincenzo and […]

Tommy Pham Fine After Colliding With Wall

San Diego Padres outfielder Tommy Pham (hip) should be fine after banging into the left field wall Saturday.

Darius Garland Questionable On Monday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (quad) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The young guard has been playing a ton of minutes lately, so this might be more of a rest game for him. Dylan Windler and Lamar Stevens will be asked to pick up the slack, assuming Garland is […]

Al Horford Sidelined On Monday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Al Horford (rest) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This is Horford's fifth time sitting out over the last eight contests. Obviously, the Thunder don't want Horford to get injured with the trade deadline approaching. They have really no incentive to play him, so Horford won't […]

Brian O'Grady Battling For Roster Spot

San Diego Padres outfielder Brian O'Grady continued his push to make the roster Sunday, collecting two knocks, including a triple, against the Los Angeles Angels. Potentially vying for the final bench spot with infielder/outfielder Jorge Mateo, O'Grady's spring resume now boasts a .954 OPS and two homers over 37 plate appearances.

Luguentz Dort Out On Monday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (toe) is listed as out for Monday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Dort dropped 23 points and helped pull off the win on Sunday.

Franmil Reyes Homers Sunday

Cleveland Indians outfielder and designated hitter Franmil Reyes went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Texas Rangers. Reyes is now 9-for-28 with three bombs in Grapefruit League action. It is great to see Reyes smacking home runs throughout this spring as that is what he will be heavily relied […]

Mitchell Robinson, Immanuel Quickley Probable For Tuesday

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) and guard Immanuel Quickley (ankle) are listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Robinson returned on Sunday, but only lasted 17 minutes due to an ankle issue. It sounds like he'll likely suit up for this one which will mean Nerlens Noel won't have much […]

Terrence Ross Questionable On Tuesday

Orlando Magic guard Terrence Ross (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He has missed five of the last six games due to knee soreness. The severity of Ross' injury is unknown since Orlando could be resting him with the trade deadline approaching. Evan Fournier, James Ennis, and Michael Carter-Williams […]

The Dallas Cowboys are scheduled to visit with free-agent safeties Malik Hooker and Damontae Kazee over the next few days. This comes after the team agreed to sign safety Keanu Neal over the weekend.

Hernandez has been on absolute fire this spring as he is now 14-for-34 with one home run, seven RBI, and one stolen base through 12 games. Hernandez is a solid sleeper candidate […]
