Boston Red Sox pitcher Collin McHugh (elbow), who is recovering from a flexor strain in his right arm this spring, said he's "about a month into my throwing program."

Jadeveon Clowney Open To A Return To Seattle

Free-agent defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, who is working out in Houston during the coronavirus pandemic, said he remains open to re-signing with the Seattle Seahawks.

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Battled Multiple Injuries In 2019

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside caught only 10 passes for 169 yards and a touchdown and never meshed in head coach Doug Pederson's offense in his rookie season.

Antonio Gibson Will Be Used In Multiple Roles

Washington Redskins running back Antonio Gibson is embracing the comparison to Christian McCaffrey as someone who can stand out as both a running back and receiving threat. New Redskins coach Ron Rivera coached the Panthers star for the past two seasons, so it's easy to see Gibson being used similarly. While it's unfair to expect […]
