    Davis played 11 NFL seasons, spending five years with the Rams, two with the Jaguars and the final four of his career with the Patriots. The 34-year-old primarily played on special teams and hadn't played a defensive snap since 2020. He'll finish his career with 118 combined tackles, two interceptions and three fumbles recovered.

  • Olamide Zaccheaus PHI WR
    Commanders' Olamide Zaccheaus: Moving on to Washington
    3h ago

    Zaccheaus has agreed to a deal with the Commanders, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    In his only campaign with the Eagles, Zaccheaus (who caught 40 passes with the Falcons in 2022) finished the 2023 regular season with 10 catches for 164 yards and two TDs in 17 games. With the Commanders, the 26-year-old will add depth to a wideout corps that is currently led by Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson. In that context, Zaccheaus has some bounce-back potential if he can carve out steady snaps in 2024 behind the team's top duo.

    Bills' DeShawn Williams: Lands in Buffalo
    6h ago

    The Bills signed Williams to a one-year contract Thursday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

    Williams suited up for 16 regular-season games with the Panthers last season, a span in which he racked up 33 tackles (13 solo) and one sack. He stands to bolster Buffalo's defensive line as a depth piece for the 2024 season.

  • Jayden Daniels 2005 QB
    Jayden Daniels: Throws at LSU Pro Day
    6h ago

    Daniels, who opted to not throw at the NFL Scouting Combine, did so at LSU's Pro Day on 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
    9h 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
    10h 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.

  • Eduardo Rodriguez ARI SP
    Diamondbacks' Eduardo Rodriguez: Nearing mound work
    13m ago

    Manager Torey Lovullo said Rodriguez (shoulder) could throw off a mound within the next week, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

    Rodriguez is still expected to miss several weeks due to his strained left shoulder, but Lovullo said the left-hander's progress has been "very encouraging" so far. A quick return to mound work would make it easier for the Diamondbacks to build him back up quickly, although Rodriguez will likely need to throw a few bullpen sessions before the team starts thinking about a return date.

  • Jason Foley DET RP
    Tigers' Jason Foley: Nabs save on Opening Day
    21m ago

    Foley struck out the only two batters he faced Thursday against the White Sox to earn his first save of the season.

    Lefty Andrew Chafin, after pitching a scoreless eighth inning, recorded the first out of the ninth before handing things over to Foley. The right-hander struck out Yoan Moncada and Luis Robert to preserve an Opening Day shutout while touching triple digits with his sinker. Alex Lange was the presumptive closer for the Tigers after leading the team in saves with 26 last season, but he did not appear in Thursday's game. There has been nothing yet to indicate Lange is injured, so perhaps Foley has simply leapfrogged Lange in the eyes of manager A.J. Hinch.

    Jackson left in the seventh inning of Thursday's game against the Padres, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

    Jackson signalled for the trainer after throwing ball four to Jackson Merrill, and Ryan Walker came in to close out the seventh. Jackson noted after the game that he felt his back tighten after his second to last pitch to Merrill, and the right-hander will undergo an MRI on Thursday night, per Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle.

  • Esteury Ruiz OAK CF
    Athletics' Esteury Ruiz: Not in Opening Day lineup
    1h ago

    Ruiz isn't starting Thursday against the Guardians.

    Ruiz had been losing his grip on a starting job in Oakland's outfield, and the decision to leave him off the Opening Day lineup suggests he may have officially fallen a couple spots on the depth chart. The speedy outfielder may still see a decent amount of playing time in the field to give Seth Brown, JJ Bleday or Lawrence Butler a day off, but a reduced role could bring down the amount of stolen bases he is able to tally over the course of the season.

    Twins' Max Kepler: Exits with possible injury
    1h ago

    Kepler was removed from Thursday's game against the Royals after fouling a ball off his right leg, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

    Kepler initially remained in the game to finish his at-bat after getting checked out by trainers, but he was replaced once the Twins took the field in the bottom of the eighth inning. The Twins will take a look at the 31-year-old outfielder and should have more information in the near future.

    Nationals' Nick Senzel: Has broken thumb
    2h ago

    Senzel broke his thumb while fielding a groundball before Thursday's game against the Reds, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    The Nationals should offer more details following Thursday's game, but it sounds like Senzel may be facing an extended absence to begin the season. Ildemaro Vargas entered the lineup as Senzel's replacement and figures to see regular reps at third base while he's out.

    Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Iffy for Friday
    9m ago

    Gobert is questionable for Friday's game versus Denver with a left rib sprain.

    Gobert has been able to play through his rib sprain in three straight games, playing at least 34 minutes in all three. He's still considered day-to-day, however, so fantasy managers will want to monitor this situation closely.

  • Sam Hauser BOS SF
    Celtics' Sam Hauser: Back to bench role Thursday
    10m ago

    Hauser is not in the starting lineup to face the Hawks on Thursday, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

    The Celtics will feature their regular starting unit of Jrue Holiday, Derrick White, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum and Kristaps Porzingis, so it's not surprising to see Hauser heading back to his regular bench role. Hauser is averaging 11.9 points per game while shooting 47.8 percent from three-point range since the beginning of March.

    Edwards (back) is questionable for Friday's game in Denver.

    The Timberwolves have listed Edwards as questionable throughout March with various injuries, but he's yet to miss a game. Managers can expect to get official confirmation on the Ant-Man's status closer to Friday's tip.

    Timberwolves' Jaylen Clark: Heads to G League for rehab

    Minnesota transferred Clark (Achilles) to the G League's Iowa Wolves on Thursday.

    Clark was a second-round pick by the Timberwolves but has yet to play this season while recovering from an Achilles surgery he underwent during his final collegiate season at UCLA in 2022-23. It's unclear if he'll be cleared to play before the end of his rookie campaign, but it's encouraging to see the youngster ramping up in the G League.

    Jazz's Jordan Clarkson: Out again Friday
    14m ago

    Clarkson (back) will not play Friday against the Rockets.

    Clarkson will miss a second straight game Friday, and it's usually not a good sign if he's getting ruled out a day in advance. In Clarkson's absence Wednesday against the Spurs, both Keyonte George and Collin Sexton played a ton of minutes, while Brice Sensabaugh played just 13 minutes off the bench.

    Juzang (back) is questionable to play Friday against the Rockets.

    Red Wings' Patrick Kane: Not playing Thursday
    14m ago

    Kane (illness) is not on the ice for warmups, indicating he won't play Thursday versus the Hurricanes, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports.

    Bultman adds Kane is sick, which explains his absence. Kane has nine points over his last eight games, so his absence is a big one for a Red Wings team that's been losing ground in the playoff race. Daniel Sprong is expected to be in the lineup in place of Kane. His next chance to play is Saturday versus the Panthers.

    Liljegren (upper body) won't play Thursday versus the Capitals.

    Liljegren saw 22:28 of ice time Tuesday versus the Devils, so it's unclear when he was injured. Mark Giordano (concussion) was activated from long-term injured reserve and will enter the lineup in place of Liljegren, while Conor Timmins is likely to see increased power-play duties.

    Matthews (illness) is good to play Thursday against Washington, per David Alter of The Hockey News.

    Matthews missed the morning skate due to the illness, but he won't end up being absent for a contest. He'll look to extend his five-game scoring streak in which he's provided four goals and 11 points. Matthews is also just one marker away from reaching 60 for the second time in his career.
