Quinshon Judkins CLE RB
Browns' Quinshon Judkins: Arrested in Florida on Saturday
6h agoJudkins was arrested on strike/battery/domestic violence charges in Florida on Saturday morning, Brad Stainbrook of 247Sports.com reports.
Judkins was selected No. 36 overall by Cleveland in April's NFL Draft. He's the only member of the Browns' 2025 Draft class who has not yet signed. Cleveland rookies are slated to report next Friday, July 18, though it's unclear if Judkins will be present given his contract and legal situations.

Wan'Dale Robinson NYG WR
Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Wants more downfield opportunities
11h agoRobinson has indicated during the offseason that he wants more looks downfield during the upcoming campaign after playing mostly in the slot last season, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Robinson got plenty of volume last year with 93 catches on 140 targets, but he averaged just 7.5 yards per catch, the lowest mark among NFL wide receivers. The Kentucky product has expressed his desire to line up outside more often, but the likelihood of that happening is complicated by the presence of Malik Nabers and Darius Slayton as deep threats in the Giants' offense. Duggan notes that Robinson was mostly used in a short-yardage capacity during minicamp this spring even with Nabers not participating, so his wishes may not lead to any changes. That said, it's at least worth noting that New York will be more equipped to throw the ball downfield than in previous campaigns with Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston and Jaxson Dart now making up the team's QB room.

Tre Harris LAC WR
Chargers' Tre Harris: Unsigned as training camp kicks off
13h agoHarris has not yet signed his contract with the Chargers as rookies report to training camp Saturday, Chris Roling of SI.com reports.
Harris is one of roughly 30 rookie second-round picks who has not yet signed a contract with the team that selected him in April's draft due to ongoing disputes over guaranteed money. Only Browns linebacker Carson Schwesinger, selected 33rd overall, and Texans wideout Jayden Higgins, selected 34th overall, have currently signed their rookie deals, and both received fully guaranteed contracts. Harris participated in spring workouts for Los Angeles despite not having inked his deal and reportedly impressed across OTAs and minicamp, but he won't be eligible to report to training camp unless signed. The nature of Harris' contract dispute being a league-wide issue makes it difficult to estimate when a resolution will occur, but as more rookies around the league begin reporting for training camp, pressure for a solution figures to quickly mount.

Calvin Ridley TEN WR
Titans' Calvin Ridley: Expectations rise for 2025
1d agoRidley is reenergized for his second year with the Titans after the team selected Cam Ward with the first overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Ridley had a successful opening season with the Titans, surpassing 1,000 receiving yards for the third time in his career. That achievement was made more impressive by the fact that he suffered from inconsistent quarterback play from Will Levis and Mason Rudolph, something that the team hopes to have remedied with the selection of Ward. Wyatt noted that Ridley has taken to mentoring the rookie quarterback, developing rapport with him that could translate to more production come the regular season.

Mark Andrews BAL TE
Ravens' Mark Andrews: Heads into contract year
1d agoAs training camp approaches, Andrews is slated to reprise his key role in a tight-end corps that also includes Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Jamison Hensley of ESPN noted ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft that there was some speculation the Ravens might consider dealing Andrews, who is entering the final year of a four-year, $56 million contract. However, the team will return its top three tight ends after all, led by Andrews -- who logged a 55/673/11 receiving line (on 69 targets) in 17 regular-season games in 2024 -- and Likely, who recorded a 42/477/6 mark in 16 contests. Considering the continued presence of Likely and the addition of veteran wideout DeAndre Hopkins, Andrews isn't likely to reach the level of volume (113 targets) he enjoyed as recently as 2022, but the 29-year-old maintains fantasy utility nonetheless, even if he's no longer viewed as a top-tier option at his position.

Najee Harris LAC RB
Chargers' Najee Harris: Sustains superficial eye injury
2d agoA statement from Harris' agent Doug Hendrickson on Thursday noted that the running back sustained a superficial eye injury stemming from what was described as a "fireworks mishap" during a Fourth of July event, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Per the statement, Harris, who signed with the Chargers in March, "is fully expected to be ready for the upcoming NFL season." It remains to be seen if the issue will affect Harris' participation in the team's upcoming training camp practices, but when available, the 2021 first-rounder is slated to handle a key role in a Los Angeles backfield that also includes Omarion Hampton, the No. 22 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Janson Junk MIA RP
Marlins' Janson Junk: Tosses seven scoreless frames
7m agoJunk (4-1) earned the win Saturday, allowing five hits and no walks over seven scoreless innings in a 6-0 victory over the Orioles. He struck out two.
Junk wasn't dominant against the Orioles, tallying just two strikeouts, but he effectively managed contact to deliver seven scoreless innings and earn his fourth win of the season. The right-hander now owns a 2.68 ERA and 0.99 WHIP across 50.1 innings in 10 appearances (five starts). While his limited track record at the major league level warrants some caution, Junk appears to be finding his stride in MLB at age 29.

Andrew Benintendi CHW LF
White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Swipes first bag
2h agoBenintendi went 2-for-3 with a run scored, a walk and a stolen base Saturday against the Guardians.
Benintendi entered Saturday's game having gone hitless in his last four starts and 15 at-bats. He led off both the first and fourth innings with a single, stealing third base and coming to score on the latter occasion. That was Benintendi's first stolen base attempt of the season, and he's now tallied 30 runs scored across 66 games.

Ronald Acuna ATL RF
Braves' Ronald Acuna: Slugs 12th long ball
2h agoAcuna went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Saturday's 7-6 victory over St. Louis.
Acuna gave Atlanta an early lead with a 379-foot solo shot in the first inning. The All-Star outfielder missed nearly two months to begin the campaign while rehabbing from ACL surgery, but he's shown no signs of rust, posting a 1.056 OPS with 12 homers, 22 RBI and 39 runs over 44 contests. Perhaps the only lingering effect of the surgery is Acuna's less-aggressive approach on the basepaths -- he has just four thefts after swiping 73 bases during his historic 2023 season.
-
Kyle Teel CHW C
White Sox's Kyle Teel: Knocks in two
2h agoTeel went 1-for-4 with two RBI on Saturday against the Guardians.
Teel entered Saturday's game having gone hitless across his last 17 at-bats, though he had struck out at a moderate 24 percent clip in that span. He broke out of the slump with a two-RBI single in the fourth inning of Saturday's game, bringing his RBI total to six across 24 games. Teel has started to sit against lefties, but otherwise continues to get regular playing time behind the dish.

Yohel Pozo STL C
Cardinals' Yohel Pozo: Swats homer in loss
2h agoPozo went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a double in a loss to Atlanta on Saturday.
Pozo accounted for two of St. Louis' three extra-base hits, hitting a double in the second inning and a solo homer in the sixth. He logged his first multi-hit effort since May 18, though that's largely because most of his opportunities since then have come as a pinch hitter or defensive replacement. Pozo has made the most of his opportunities throughout the campaign, slashing .312/.330/.605 with four home runs, 14 RBI and 11 runs scored over 97 plate appearances.
-
Yanquiel Fernandez COL RF
Rockies' Yanquiel Fernandez: On base three times
2h agoFernandez went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored Saturday against the Reds.
Fernandez's key hit was an RBI double in the seventh inning, his second extra-base hit across 24 plate appearances since he was promoted to the majors. Overall, he's started seven of Colorado's last 10 games while going 8-for-24 and hasn't looked overmatched by striking out only five times.

Cam Spencer MEM PG
Grizzlies' Cam Spencer: Scores 17 in SL win
2h agoSpencer racked up 17 points (6-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Saturday's Summer League 96-86 win against the Trail Blazers.
Spencer had another strong offensive performance, dropping 15 or more points for the second straight game in the Summer League. The 24-year-old played in 25 regular-season games for Memphis during the 2024-25 campaign, averaging 4.2 points, 1.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists across 10.1 minutes per game.

Love excelled offensively once again Saturday, scoring 18 or more points for the second straight Summer League game. The Arizona product continues to demonstrate his ability to be a dependable scorer while also posing a threat from beyond the arc.

Sidy Cissoko POR SF
Trail Blazers' Sidy Cissoko: Three swipes in SL loss
2h agoCissoko racked up 20 points (7-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, three assists, three steals and one block across 27 minutes during Saturday's Summer League 96-86 loss against the Grizzlies.
Cissoko got it done on both ends of the floor Saturday, as he was one of two players to crack the 18-point mark while also recording a game-high three steals. The 20-year-old guard played in five regular-season games for Portland during the 2024-25 campaign, averaging 2.0 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists across 12 minutes per game.

Grizzlies' Jaylen Wells: Nears double-double in win
2h agoWells racked up 23 points (7-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal across 27 minutes during Saturday's Summer League 96-86 win against the Trail Blazers.
Wells came on strong in the second half for Memphis, as he went on to lead all scorers with 23 points. This was an impressive bounce-back performance for the Washington State product after he struggled with his shooting in Friday's game against Boston. Despite having his rookie year in Memphis cut short due to season-ending shoulder surgery, Wells made an impression, averaging 10.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.7 assists over 79 regular-season games while shooting 42.5 percent from the field and 35.2 percent from deep.
-
Hunter Tyson DEN SF
Nuggets' Hunter Tyson: Scores 13 in SL loss

Tyson connected on two three-pointers but shot below 50 percent from the field in Saturday's loss. He appeared in 51 regular-season games for the Nuggets last season, averaging 2.6 points and 1.5 rebounds in 7.8 minutes per game. His 2024-25 campaign was highlighted by an 18-point performance in a spot start April 2.

Timberwolves' Rob Dillingham: Nears double-double in win
3h agoDillingham racked up 15 points (6-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, nine assists and three steals across 29 minutes during Saturday's Summer League 94-83 win against the Nuggets.
Dillingham had a solid all-around performance Saturday, as he made his presence felt on both ends of the floor. He did a great job getting his teammates involved, finishing with a team-high nine assists while also being a menace defensively with a game-high three steals. Minnesota has gotten off to a hot start to the Summer League with two straight wins.

Nikolai Kovalenko SJ RW
Nikolai Kovalenko: Headed back to KHL
17h agoKovalenko inked a two-year contract with CSKA Moscow of the KHL on Saturday.
Kovalenko spent the 2024-25 campaign with San Jose and Colorado, scoring seven goals and adding 13 assists across 57 regular-season games. The 25-year-old forward spent seven years in the KHL before coming to North America late in 2023-24.

Jeff Skinner SJ LW
Sharks' Jeff Skinner: Joining new Pacific squad
2d agoSkinner signed a one-year, $3 million contract to join the Sharks on Friday, Mark Spector of Sportsnet reports.
Skinner is headed to San Jose after posting 16 goals and 13 assists in 72 regular-season games with the Oilers last season, but he spent most of his first postseason as an NHL player as a healthy scratch. The 33-year-old will look to prove he still has some gas left in the tank with the Sharks; at the very least, he will be a good veteran presence with all of the young talent the team has. He'll likely jump right into the top six at the beginning of the season.
-
Michael Milne MIN LW
Wild's Michael Milne: Agrees to one-year contract
2d agoMilne signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Wild on Friday.
Milne had 15 goals, 26 points and 44 PIM across 60 regular-season appearances with AHL Iowa in 2024-25. He also made his NHL debut Nov. 16, recording no points and three hits in 6:34 of ice time. Milne might get another chance to play for Minnesota during the 2025-26 campaign, but he's expected to begin the upcoming season in the minors.
-
Justin Carbonneau STL RW
Blues' Justin Carbonneau: Staying in juniors
2d agoCarbonneau will be back with QMJHL Blainville-Boisbriand for the 2025-26 campaign, Scott Wheeler of The Athletic reports Friday.
Carbonneau was originally expected to attend Boston College in the fall, but instead will stay in juniors, where he can likely make a quicker transition to the NHL. In his 62 regular-season games for the Armada, the 18-year-old winger racked up 46 goals and 43 helpers before adding three more goals in five postseason tilts. The 2025 19th overall pick will likely take part in training camp this fall if he can put pen to paper on an entry-level deal.
-
Gavin Bayreuther DAL D
Hurricanes' Gavin Bayreuther: Inks two-way deal
2d agoBayreuther agreed to terms on a one-year, two-way contract with Carolina on Friday.
Bayreuther hasn't appeared in an NHL game since 2022-23 when he was with the Blue Jackets. That season, the 31-year-old blueliner notched two goals and 12 helpers in 51 tilts while averaging 15:57 of ice time. It certainly seemed like the New Hampshire native was close to becoming a full-time NHL option, but instead spent last year playing overseas with Lausanne HC, notching five goals and 18 helpers in 52 regular-season contests. At this point, if Bayreuther logs any NHL minutes, it will probably be the result of an injury among the Hurricanes' defensive group.
-
Ryan Reaves SJ RW
Sharks' Ryan Reaves: Heading west in trade
2d agoReaves was traded to the Sharks from the Maple Leafs on Thursday in exchange for Henry Thrun.
Reaves' role at this stage of his career is to bring grit and leadership. That still has some intangible value, but moving to the Sharks doesn't improve his outlook on offense. Look for Reaves to be in the mix for a fourth-line role early in 2025-26, though he could be bumped to the press box if any prospects are more deserving of ice time.
