    Jayden Daniels: Throws at LSU pro day
    2h ago

    Daniels, who opted to not throw at the NFL Scouting Combine, did so at LSU's pro day Wednesday, Eric Edholm of NFL.com reports.

    Per the report, Daniels, who measured in at 6-foot-3⅝, 210 pounds, was slated to spend time afterward with the Patriots, Commanders, Giants, Vikings, Broncos and Raiders. As next month's draft approaches, the 2023 Heisman Trophy winner is viewed as one of the top options at the QB position, along with USC's Caleb Williams, North Carolina's Drake Maye and Michigan's J.J. McCarthy. While Williams is expected to be selected first overall, where Daniels lands remains to be seen, though what is clear is that the top four signal-callers figure to come off the board quickly, in any case.

    Jaguars' Josiah Deguara: Inking with Jacksonville
    5h ago

    The Jaguars are slated to sign Deguara to a one-year contract, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports.

    Deguara spent the last four seasons handling a depth role in Green Bay, where he was drafted in the third round back in 2020. His versatility both as a blocker and on special teams will boost his chances of earning playing time behind Evan Engram, but Deguara peaked with a 25-245-2 receiving line in 2021 and doesn't appear to have much fantasy potential.

    J.K. Dobbins: Lines up AFC West visit
    7h ago

    Dobbins (Achilles) is visiting the Chargers on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Dobbins, who was recently medically cleared for football activities, is coming off a left Achilles tear after previously missing all of 2021 and about half of the 2022 season due to a torn ACL and proceeding issues. That medical history undercuts otherwise impressive career numbers for Dobbins, who has averaged 5.8 yards per carry and scored 13 touchdowns since entering the NFL in 2020 as a second-round pick by the Ravens, but only suited up for 24 games in that span. Reuniting with offensive coordinator Greg Roman could make the most sense as a landing spot for Dobbins, but it's possible he doesn't garner more interest than a potential prove-it deal. The Chargers signed Gus Edwards,a former Baltimore backfield mate of Dobbins, early in free agency.

    Texans' Derek Stingley: Slow start, strong finish
    7h ago

    Stingley recorded 39 tackles, 13 passes defensed and five interceptions over 11 regular-season games in 2023.

    Stingley, a second-year cornerback and 2022 first-round draft pick, suffered a Week 3 hamstring that created issues for the defense early on, but upon his return Week 10, Stingley made an impact. He had interceptions in three straight games, including a Week 13 win over the Broncos. Stingley will return as Houston's top cornerback in 2024.

    DeAndre Houston-Carson: Enters free agency
    7h ago

    Houston-Carson recorded 41 tackles, five passes defensed, two interceptions and one fumble recovery over 13 regular-season games in 2023.

    Houston-Carson started the season in Baltimore then finished up in Houston, where he played a career-high 447 snaps on defense. Injuries on the back end led to Houston-Carson playing a big role for the Texans, including two pivotal plays in a Week 10 win over the Bengals.

  • Tommy Kahnle NYY RP
    Yankees' Tommy Kahnle: Goes on IL
    4m ago

    The Yankees placed Kahnle (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list Thursday.

    Kahnle wasn't able to pitch in any Grapefruit League games after a bout with right shoulder inflammation delayed his throwing program over the offseason and put him well behind the Yankees' other pitchers at the start of spring training. The veteran righty should be close to facing hitters if he hasn't already, but he'll likely require multiple minor-league rehab appearances before he's ready to make his 2024 debut with the Yankees.

    Yankees' Oswald Peraza: Moves to IL
    7m ago

    The Yankees placed Peraza (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list Thursday.

    Peraza is facing an expected recovery timeline of 6-to-8 weeks for a right shoulder strain, an injury that first cropped up in late February. Per MLB.com, manager Aaron Boone said last week that Peraza was expected to resume hitting soon, but it's unclear if the 23-year-old has advanced to that portion of his recovery program. Regardless, Peraza be sidelined until around late April or early May, which likely gives Jahmai Jones a multi-week run on the active roster as a utility player.

    The Mets placed Senga (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list Thursday.

    Senga was already expected to be out until at least mid-May due to a strained right shoulder, so his move to the IL is simply procedural. The 31-year-old right-hander was cleared to begin his throwing progression Wednesday.

  • Daniel Vogelbach TOR DH
    Blue Jays' Daniel Vogelbach: Added to major-league roster
    13m ago

    The Blue Jays selected Vogelbach's contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday.

    Vogelbach managed to squeeze onto the roster even as the Jays have Justin Turner at designated hitter and Vladimir Guerrero at first base. His best chance at playing time would be if Turner winds up being used at third base more than expected, but realistically Vogelbach is looking at a bench role.

    Kraken's Ryker Evans: Game-time decision against Ducks
    1h ago

    Evans (lower body) will be a game-time call versus Anaheim on Thursday, Kate Shefte of The Seattle Times reports.

    Evans and fellow blueliner Gustav Olofsson exited the ice at about the same time, so Olofsson figures to get into the lineup if Evans can't give it a go. It's been an up-and-down campaign for Evans, as he has consistently been shuffled between levels this season. In his last nine outings, the Calgary native appears to have found his offensive stride with a goal and three assists while averaging 17:11 of ice time.
