Houston Rockets center DeMarcus Cousins had his best game of the season in a 117-100 loss to the Lakers.

Phillies Have Chance To Re-Sign J.T. Realmuto And Didi Gregorius

There was pessimism at the start of the offseason that the Philadelphia Phillies could re-sign both catcher J.T. Realmuto and shortstop Didi Gregorius, but there is now a real chance that could happen. It's mid-January and the free-agent markets for both players haven't developed the way they'd hoped back in November. The Mets signed James […]

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Allen Lazard (core, wrist) and Equanimeous St. Brown (ankle, knee) and linebacker Za'Darius Smith (ankle, thumb) were all limited in practice on Tuesday.

Jared Goff A Full Participant In Walk-Through

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff (thumb) was listed as a full participant in the team's walk-through practice on Tuesday.

Buffalo Bills wide receivers Stefon Diggs (oblique) and Cole Beasley (knee), linebacker Tremaine Edmunds (hamstring) and defensive tackle Ed Oliver (ankle) were all limited in practice on Tuesday.

Houston Rockets shooting guard/small forward Eric Gordon (leg) has been deemed available for Tuesday's game against the Lakers after dealing with left leg tightness.
