  • Josiah Deguara GB TE
    Jaguars' Josiah Deguara: Inking with Jacksonville
    2h 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
    4h 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
    4h 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
    4h 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. He entered unrestricted free agency during the offseason.

    Texans' Jimmie Ward: Injury-marred 2023
    4h ago

    Ward (quadriceps) recorded 50 tackles, three passes defensed, one interception and one forced fumble over 10 games in 2023.

    Ward, a team captain, was beset by injuries all season long. He missed time due to hip, hamstring and shoulder injuries before a quadricep ended his season in December. In between the setbacks, Ward played well, and his one interception was an end-zone pick that sealed a win over Denver. Houston went 6-4 in games he played and could use his stabilizing presence on the back end. Ward turns 33 in July and will be entering his 11th season.

    Texans' Henry To'oTo'o: Contributes in rookie season
    4h ago

    To'oTo'o recorded 61 tackles, two passes defensed, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery over 15 regular-season games in 2023.

    To'oTo'o, a fifth-round draft pick out of Alabama, started from Week 2 to Week 7 and played in both of Houston's playoff games during his rookie season. The Texans lost two linebackers to free agency -- Blake Cashman and Denzel Perryman -- which leaves To'oTo'o as a projected starter for 2024. However, Houston is expected to address the position during the offseason.

    Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Records another double-double
    4m ago

    Gobert totaled 11 points (5-5 FG, 1-1 FT), 14 rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 106-91 victory over the Pistons.

    Gobert hasn't been the double-double machine he was during his Utah days since joining the Timberwolves, but there's no question he's taken a leap forward this season compared to the numbers he posted in 2022-23. Gobert ranks fifth in The Association in double-doubles this season with 46 out of 66 appearances.

    Beverley (wrist) is listed as probable for Thursday's game versus the Pelicans.

    Beverley has been upgraded from questionable to probable Thursday despite dealing with a torn ligament in his right wrist. While the veteran point guard may pursue an offseason surgery, it appears he will attempt to play through his injury for the remainder of 2023-24.

  • Naz Reid MIN C
    Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Leads Minnesota in scoring
    8m ago

    Reid supplied 21 points (9-18 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds and four assists across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 106-91 victory over the Pistons.

    Reid was uncharacteristically poor from three-point range, as he failed to make multiple threes for the first time since March 12. However, he still played a prominent role on offense and led Minnesota in scoring, perhaps embracing the more significant role due to Anthony Edwards' subpar outing. Reid has scored over 15 points in five games in a row and in seven of his last eight contests, averaging 20.4 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 44.4 percent from deep during that eight-game stretch.

    Coach Nick Nurse said Thursday that Embiid (knee) will travel with the 76ers during their upcoming two-game road trip, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    Levick also relays that Embiid participated in Philadelphia's light practice Thursday and will continue to do his rehab workouts during the road trip. It doesn't sound like Embiid will play Friday in Cleveland or Sunday in Toronto, but it's encouraging to see him cleared to travel. Nurse said Wednesday that the team is hopeful Embiid can suit up for at least a few regular-season games before the Play-In Tournament, which begins April 16.

    DeRozan led Chicago in scoring and minutes during Wednesday's blowout loss over Indiana. The veteran forward has displayed impressive efficiency across his 14 appearances in March, shooting 50.2 percent from the field.

  • Anthony Edwards MIN SG
    Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Subpar against Detroit
    12m ago

    Edwards totaled nine points (4-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 106-91 win over Detroit.

    Edwards had one of his lowest scoring performances of the season Wednesday, failing to reach double digits for just the seventh time in the current campaign, and overall, he looked rusty and out of sync most of the time. Edwards is simply too talented to struggle for a prolonged stretch, however, and he should be able to bounce back when the Timberwolves take on the Nuggets in a marquee matchup Friday.

While the 27-year-old center has scored just one goal in his last 11 shots, while chipping in 29 shots, he did racked up eight assists over that stretch.
