Courtland Sutton DEN WRBroncos' Courtland Sutton: Not at voluntary OTAs
25m agoSutton wants a new contract and hasn't reported to voluntary OTAs, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Sutton has two seasons remaining on a four-year, $60 million extension, scheduled for a $13 million base salary in 2024 ($2 million guaranteed) and then $13.5 million in 2025 (no guarantees). He scored a career-high 10 touchdowns in 16 games last season, though 90 targets were his fewest since 2020 -- the year he suffered an ACL tear Week 1 -- and he still hasn't come close to matching his career-high 1,112 yards from 2019. The 28-year-old won't necessarily hold out from mandatory team activities later this spring, but the situation is at least worth keeping an eye on until he gets an extension or contract adjustment, or otherwise reports to the Broncos. There's been no indication of his Week 18 ankle injury lingering into the offseason, with the main concern at this point being the lack of a starting-caliber QB on Denver's roster. The team also appears thin at wide receiver, where the starting job across from Sutton could end up going to any of Josh Reynolds, Marvin Mims, Tim Patrick (Achilles) or Brandon Johnson.

Shemar Jean-Charles NO CBSaints' Shemar Jean-Charles: Back in Big Easy
15h agoJean-Charles re-signed with the Saints on Monday, Howard Balzer of GoPHNX.com reports.
Jean-Charles was not tendered by New Orleans as a restricted free agent, but he will return to the team nonetheless. After spending his first two seasons in Green Bay, the 25-year-old suited up for eight games between the 49ers and Saints in 2023. He accumulated four tackles (three solo) in the process. The Appalachian State product will now look to make an impression during offseason workouts.

Emanuel Wilson GB RBPackers' Emanuel Wilson: Sticks in Green Bay as ERFA
17h agoThe Packers re-signed Wilson on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
An undrafted rookie in 2023, Wilson made the Packers' initial 53-man roster following the preseason and even mixed into seven regular-season games, taking 14 carries for 85 yards and hauling in four of five targets for 23 yards while working behind Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon. Green Bay swapped out Jones for Josh Jacobs and also retained Dillon this offseason, meaning Wilson is poised for a similar role in the coming campaign, barring potential additions to the backfield in free agency or the draft.

Nick McCloud NYG CBGiants' Nick McCloud: Stays in the Big Apple
17h agoMcCloud (back) re-signed with the Giants on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
McCloud finished his 2023 campaign on the sidelines after getting injured in the team's season finale against the Eagles. Healthy now, the Notre Dame product can focus on being ready for a third campaign in New York after signing his free-agent tender.
-
Maxx Crosby LV DERaiders' Maxx Crosby: Fully healthy
17h agoCrosby (knee) said, "I'm feeling better than I ever have," Monday, after he spent much of 2023 fighting through a knee injury that required draining multiple times a week, Nick Shook of NFL.com reports.
Crosby set career highs in combined tackles (90) and sacks (14.5) last season despite spending much of the campaign hampered by a bursa joint issue. The 26-year-old underwent a procedure to correct it in January after the season ended and began rehabbing it soon after, which went "incredible," according to Crosby.

Rashee Rice KC WRChiefs' Rashee Rice: Expected to participate in virtual meetings
17h agoCoach Andy Reid indicated Monday that Rice is expected to remotely participate in the initial stage of the Chiefs' voluntary offseason program via virtual meetings, NFL.com reports.
Per Adam Teicher of ESPN.com, Rice -- who is is facing one count of aggravated assault, one count of collision involving serious bodily injury and six counts of collision involving injury stemming from his involvement in a car crash in Dallas last month -- turned himself in to police last week and was subsequently released on bond. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the league has been closely monitoring developments related to the incident, while Reid noted that it remains to be seen whether the wideout will participate later in the spring when the team's offseason program moves to Kansas City. "I want to keep gathering the information from the law enforcement people,'" Reid said Monday. "We'll just see where everything goes from there (and) let the process take place."

Danny Jansen TOR CBlue Jays' Danny Jansen: Likely to debut Tuesday
4m agoJansen (wrist) is expected to join the Toronto lineup and make his season debut in Tuesday's game against the Yankees, ESPN.com reports.
After missing the first two and a half weeks of the season while recovering from a fractured right wrist suffered in a March 13 spring training game, Jansen was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Monday. He didn't play in Monday's series-opening 3-1 victory, however, as Alejandro Kirk drew the nod behind the plate and went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, an RBI and a run scored. Though Kirk has now reached base seven times over the Blue Jays' last two games, he's still slashing an ugly .200/.293/.220 through 58 plate appearances. Given that he's regarded as the superior defender of the two catchers and in light of Kirk's struggles at the dish, Jansen is expected to emerge as the Blue Jays' No. 1 backstop now that he's healthy.
-
Jeff McNeil NYM 2BMets' Jeff McNeil: Nabs first steal of year
4m agoMcNeil went 0-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Monday's win over the Pirates.
The 32-year-old sparked a game-winning rally in the eighth inning by getting to first base after a third strike wild pitch by Aroldis Chapman, eventually stealing third and coming around to score on a Harrison Bader double. The stolen base was McNeil's first of the season, but he has yet to get going at the plate, slashing just .204/.328/.286 through 15 games with a homer, five RBI and eight runs.
-
Francisco Lindor NYM SSMets' Francisco Lindor: On base three times Monday
9m agoLindor went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Monday's win over the Pirates.
It's been a tough start to the campaign for the shortstop, but Lindor is beginning to come around. He's delivered back-to-back two-hit games, and over the last eight contests he's batting .257 (9-for-35) with two doubles, a homer, four RBI, six runs and a sharp 4:1 BB:K.
-
Adam Ottavino NYM RPMets' Adam Ottavino: Collects win Monday
12m agoOttavino (1-0) struck out two in a perfect eighth inning Monday to record a win over the Pirates.
The veteran right-hander fired 11 pitches (nine strikes) while shutting down the heart of Pittsburgh's order and preserving a 3-3 tie, and the Mets broke the game open in the bottom half of the inning. Ottavino has had an impressive start to the season, racking up a 12:0 K:BB through seven innings with a 2.57 ERA and 0.57 WHIP, and he had two holds in addition to Monday's win as one of Edwin Diaz's primary setup men.

Cade Cavalli WAS SPNationals' Cade Cavalli: Should face live hitters this month
15m agoNationals manager Dave Martinez said April 6 that Cavalli (elbow) is expected to begin facing live hitters at some point this month, MLB.com reports.
Throwing live batting practice sessions would mark a step forward in Cavalli's recovery from his March 2023 Tommy John surgery, as the right-hander had been limited to tossing bullpen sessions during spring training. Cavalli will likely face live hitters in controlled settings for a few weeks before eventually heading out on a minor-league rehab assignment that will likely last for most of the 30-day rehab window. Cavalli opened the season on the 60-day injured list and isn't on track to make his 2024 debut until at least late May, though a June return is probably more realistic.
-
Victor Robles WAS CFNationals' Victor Robles: Still in rehab mode
19m agoNationals manager Dave Martinez said April 8 that Robles has regained full range of motion and has less tenderness in his strained left hamstring, but the outfielder remains limited to rehab work, MLB.com reports.
Robles has already spent the minimum 10 days on the injured list but doesn't appear close to a return from the shelf just yet, as he has yet to advance to resuming full baseball activities. At this stage of his recovery, Robles doesn't look like he'll be a realistic candidate to be activated until May. While Robles is sidelined, Jacob Young is expected to continue seeing regular run as the Nationals' primary option in center field.

Giannis Antetokounmpo MIL PFBucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Doubtful to begin series
16m agoESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports that the Bucks are preparing to be without Antetokounmpo (calf) for the beginning of their series against the Pacers.
This is in line with previous reporting, as there doesn't appear to be much optimism about Antetokounmpo appearing in the first couple games of the series. Wojnarowski adds that the Bucks are hopeful Antetokounmpo can return later in the series with constant treatment, but this is a fluid situation.
-
Olivier Sarr OKC CThunder's Olivier Sarr: Goes down with ankle injury
12h agoSarr left Monday's Game 3 of the G League Finals against the Maine Celtics due to an ankle injury, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.
Sarr was involved in a collision while pursuing a rebound, and he ultimately needed to be carried to the locker room. His return to Monday's clash seems unlikely given the circumstances in which he exited.
-
Draymond Green GS PFWarriors' Draymond Green: Cleared for Play-In Tournament
15h agoGreen (knee) will play Tuesday versus Sacramento.
Green and Stephen Curry (ankle) have both been removed from Monday's injury report, while Gary Payton (calf) is officially inactive. Malik Monk (knee) and Kevin Huerter (shoulder) represent notable absences for Sacramento, although there should still be no shortage of drama, as three of Golden State's four regular-season meetings versus the Kings this year were decided by exactly one point.
-
Stephen Curry GS PGWarriors' Stephen Curry: Removed from injury report
15h agoCurry (ankle) does not carry an injury designation into Tuesday's Play-In Tournament game against Sacramento.
Curry and Draymond Green (knee) have both been cleared for action Tuesday, leaving Gary Payton (calf) as the Warriors' lone absence. Golden State will be traveling to Sacramento for Tuesday's showdown, returning to the scene of the crime where Curry dropped 50 points (20-38 FG, 7-18 3Pt) in a victorious Game 7 of last year's first-round series between these teams. Additionally, Curry averaged 31.0 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4.8 assists in four games against the Kings this season.
-
Christian Wood LAL PFLakers' Christian Wood: Ruled out for Tuesday's game
17h agoWood (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Wood has been sidelined since undergoing an arthroscopic procedure on his left knee in March, and he'll remain sidelined as the Lakers begin postseason play Tuesday. It's unclear if he'll be available at any point if the team advances in the postseason.
-
Jarred Vanderbilt LAL PFLakers' Jarred Vanderbilt: Remains out
17h agoVanderbilt (foot) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Play-In Game against the Pelicans.
Vanderbilt's defensive efforts were a key part of the Lakers' run to the Western Conference Finals last season. However, he has been unavailable for most of 2023-24, playing just 29 regular-season games (six appearances). Vanderbilt hasn't played since Feb. 1, so his continued absence shouldn't impact coach Darvin Ham's rotation.
-
Carter Verhaeghe FLA CPanthers' Carter Verhaeghe: Playing regular-season finale
4m agoVerhaeghe (upper body) will be in the lineup for the Cats' regular-season finale versus Toronto on Tuesday, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
Initial reports suggested that Verhaeghe wouldn't be cleared until the postseason but it appears he is slightly ahead of schedule. Prior to his six-game absence, the 28-year-old Toronto native was rolling offensively with three goals on 16 shots and two assists in his last six outings. Verhaeghe should be in line for a top-six role unless coach Paul Maurice decides to limit his minutes for this first game back.
-
Dylan Cozens BUF CSabres' Dylan Cozens: Two goals, three points in win
6m agoCozens tallied two goals and added an assist in Monday's 4-2 win over Tampa Bay.
Cozens opened the scoring 1:26 into the first period, firing a loose puck over the shoulder of Andrei Vasilevskiy before adding a shorthanded marker in the second. The 23-year-old Cozens would grab a third point with an assist on Zach Benson's tally in the third. Cozens entered Monday's contest with just one goal and four points over his previous 14 games. He'll wrap up the season with 18 goals and 47 points in 79 games, a significant step back from his 31-goal/68-point campaign in 2022-23.
-
Pierre Engvall NYI LWIslanders' Pierre Engvall: Two helpers in win
15m agoEngvall notched a pair of assists in Monday's 4-1 victory over New Jersey.
Engvall set up Jean-Gabriel Pageau's opening tally midway through the first period before adding a second assist on a Kyle MacLean goal in the third. It's just the second multi-point game of the year for Engvall (his first since Nov. 22), though he's been productive down the stretch with five points (two goals, three assists) in his last six games. Overall, the 27-year-old winger has 10 goals and 28 points through 74 games this season.
-
Jeremy Swayman BOS GBruins' Jeremy Swayman: Falls to Capitals
20m agoSwayman stopped 23 of 24 shots in Monday's 2-0 loss to Washington.
Swayman was excellent Monday, holding the Caps to a John Carlson goal in the first period. However, the Bruins could generate only 16 shots on offense in an eventual 2-0 shutout loss. The 25-year-old netminder has dropped consecutive starts after winning three of his prior four outings. With Linus Ullmark likely to start in Boston's season finale Tuesday, Swayman will wrap up the regular season at 25-10-8 with a .916 save percentage and 2.53 GAA.
-
Charlie Lindgren WAS GCapitals' Charlie Lindgren: Earns sixth shutout
25m agoLindgren stopped 16 shots in a 2-0 shutout win over the Bruins on Monday.
Lindgren's won three of his last four starts, stopping 103 of 109 shots in that span, as he improves to 24-16-7 with a .910 save percentage, 2.71 GAA and a league-leading six shutouts in his first season as a full-time starter. The 30-year-old Lindgren could be back in net for Tuesday's season finale, as the Caps can lock up a playoff spot with a victory.
-
Andrei Vasilevskiy TB GLightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Falls to Buffalo
36m agoVasilevskiy allowed four goals on 34 shots in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Sabres.
Vasilevskiy's now dropped back-to-back starts, stopping 30 of 34 shots in both outings. after going 9-2-1 with a .922 save percentage in his previous 12 appearances. Overall, the 29-year-old netminder is 30-20-2 on the season with a .900 save percentage and 2.90 GAA. The Lightning are back in action at home Wednesday in their regular-season finale against Toronto.
