Deshaun Watson CLE QBBrowns' Deshaun Watson: Throwing full speed
2m agoWatson (shoulder) said Tuesday he's already resumed "throwing full speed" but that he's uncertain how large a workload he'll handle during OTAs and minicamp, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Watson clarified that certain members of the Browns' medical staff are in favor of a more conservative approach to the quarterback's recovery from right shoulder surgery, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram, which would wait until training camp to have him fully practice. Still, Watson has been fully forthright in his confidence to be available for the Browns' season opener, and there appear to be no real worries about his Week 1 status. In case Watson misses part of the offseason, or struggles during the fall, Cleveland can lean on newly-signed, experienced backups Jameis Winston and Tyler Huntley.

Odell Beckham Jr. BAL WROdell Beckham: Nothing imminent with Miami
1h agoDolphins general manager Chris Grier said Tuesday that there's "nothing imminent" on a deal between Beckham and the team, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Beckham was reportedly extended a contract offer by Miami after visiting with the team back in March, but it doesn't appear that a signing is around the corner. The 31-year-old is coming off a forgettable 14-game season with the Ravens, in which he put up a 35-565-3 receiving line, but he could find more success as a No. 3 option behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. It could be that Beckham will need to wait until after the dust of the 2024 NFL Draft has settled to find a landing spot.

Jaylen Waddle MIA WRDolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Fifth-year option to be exercised
1h agoGeneral manager Chris Grier said Tuesday that he expects the Dolphins to pick up Waddle's fifth-year option, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
The Dolphins have consistently stated a desire to come to terms with Waddle on a long-term contract, and Grier specifically dismissed trade rumors earlier this offseason. The third-year pro has recorded three straight 1,000-yard seasons to begin his career, becoming the first wideout to do so in franchise history, and there's little question of his value as a No. 2 read behind Tyreek Hill. Picking up Waddle's fifth-year option will keep him under contract with the Dolphins for two more seasons.
-
Taylor Decker DET OTLions' Taylor Decker: Recovered from offseason surgery
1h agoDecker said Tuesday he underwent foot/ankle surgery this offseason and resumed working out mid-February, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.
Decker appears already recovered from his offseason procedure. The 30-year-old left tackle missed only two regular-season games last season while suiting up for all three of Detroit's postseason contests. Now heading into the final year of his contract, Decker is still playing at a high level.
-
Courtland Sutton DEN WRBroncos' Courtland Sutton: Not at voluntary OTAs
4h 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
19h 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.
-
Carlos Santana MIN 1BTwins' Carlos Santana: Taking seat Tuesday
34m agoSantana is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Baltimore.
Alex Kirilloff will get the nod at first base while Santana takes a seat. It's the second day off of the season for Santana, who is slashing an ugly .135/.224/.154 over his first 14 contests.
-
Brendan Rodgers COL 2BRockies' Brendan Rodgers: Held out again with illness
1h agoRodgers (illness) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's contest in Philadelphia.
Rodgers was a late scratch from Monday's lineup due to illness and still isn't feeling up to playing. Alan Trejo will again filling in at second base for the Rockies. Trejo went 1-for-3 at the plate in Monday's loss to the Phillies.
-
Kris Bryant COL DHRockies' Kris Bryant: Remains out of lineup
1h agoBryant (back/ribs) remained out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies.
It's the third straight start Bryant has missed after he had to be removed from Saturday's game versus the Blue Jays due to soreness in his right ribcage and back. The Rockies will roll with Charlie Blackmon at designated hitter, Elehuris Montero at first base and Michael Toglia in right field.
-
Brusdar Graterol LAD RPDodgers' Brusdar Graterol: Begins throwing progression
1h agoManager Dave Roberts said that Graterol (shoulder) threw a "good" bullpen session Monday, MLB.com reports.
Graterol won't be available until around mid-May after the Dodgers initially placed him on the 15-day injured list March 19 before later transferring him to the 60-day IL, but the fact that the right-hander is already in the midst of a throwing progression suggests he should be ready to go around the time he's first eligible to return. He'll likely continue the ramp-up process with multiple bullpen sessions and live batting practice sessions over the next couple of weeks before perhaps heading out on a minor-league rehab assignment later this month or in early May.
-
Jose Soriano LAA RPAngels' Jose Soriano: Receives second straight start
2h agoSoriano is scheduled to start Tuesday's game against the Rays.
Even though he was touched up for four earned runs on six hits in just four innings in his first MLB start last Wednesday against the Rays, Soriano's 6:0 K:BB and eight swinging strikes on 72 pitches were encouraging. He'll get another crack at Tampa Bay in his second turn through the rotation, this time at Tropicana Field after the prior outing came at Angel Stadium. The 25-year-old could hold down a spot in the Anaheim rotation until Chase Silseth (elbow) is ready to return from the injured list.
-
Forrest Whitley HOU SPAstros' Forrest Whitley: Summoned to big-league bullpen
2h agoThe Astros will recall Whitley from Triple-A Sugar Land prior to Tuesday's game versus Atlanta, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Whitley was once one of the top pitching prospects in baseball before his career got sidetracked by numerous injuries and also control problems. He got a late start to the season at Sugar Land because of a finger injury but returned to make three appearances, allowing four runs with a 4:2 K:BB over three innings. Whitley will work as a reliever for a bullpen that's in need of a fresh arm.
-
Walker Kessler UTA CJazz's Walker Kessler: Expected to play in Summer League
10m agoThe Jazz plan to have Kessler (nose) participate in the 2024 NBA Summer League, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
After a nice rookie season in 2022-23 in which Kessler started his final 34 appearances, he was selected in the early-to-mid rounds of most fantasy leagues this season. Managers that did so were disappointed. The center's points (8.1) and rebounds (7.5) per game decreased, as did his field-goal percentage (65.4). He also started just 22 games and crossed the 30-minute threshold only eight times. While the Jazz also had interest in developing other bigs like John Collins and Taylor Hendricks, plus giving minutes to Kelly Olynyk before trading him to Toronto, Kessler's role gave the impression that he wasn't impressing coach Will Hardy. The organization seems to believe it would be best for Kessler to get more development minutes this summer.
-
Dereck Lively II DAL CMavericks' Dereck Lively: Full go at practice Tuesday
30m agoLively (knee) was a full participant during Tuesday's practice, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.
Lively missed the final eight regular-season games due to a right knee sprain, but it looks like he'll have a chance to play in Dallas' opening-round series against the Clippers. However, the Mavericks still have a few days before they release their official injury report, and we won't get clarity on Lively's status until then.
-
Ayo Dosunmu CHI PGBulls' Ayo Dosunmu: Hopeful for Wednesday
31m agoDosunmu (quadriceps) is hopeful to play in Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Dosunmu missed four straight games to end the regular season with a bruised right quad. He's trending in the right direction, however, and he was spotted going through a full-court scrimmage with the player development coaches Tuesday. More clarity is expected when the Bulls release their injury report Tuesday evening.
-
Andre Drummond CHI CBulls' Andre Drummond: Unable to practice Tuesday
32m agoDrummond (ankle) did not practice Tuesday in advance of Wednesday's Play-In Tournament contest versus Atlanta, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Drummond was forced to exit last Tuesday's contest in a wheelchair after rolling his ankle, and he's still experiencing too much swelling to practice. His status appears murky, at best, for Wednesday's game, although a depleted Atlanta frontcourt that is without Jalen Johnson (ankle) and Onyeka Okongwu (toe) lessens the blow of a potential absence.
-
Onuralp Bitim CHI SFBulls' Onuralp Bitim: Suffers detached retina
1h agoThe Bulls announced Tuesday that Bitim will miss the entirety of the postseason after being diagnosed with a detached retina in his right eye.
Bitim didn't play in Sunday's 120-119 overtime loss to the Knicks in regular-season finale, but he earned his first NBA start two days prior, posting six points in 25 minutes in a 129-127 win over the Wizards. The rookie from Turkey didn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's contest, so it's unclear if he suffered the injury at some point during his start Friday or perhaps in a recent practice session. During the regular season, Bitim appeared in 23 games and averaged 3.5 points, 1.4 rebounds, 0.6 assists and 0.5 three-pointers in 11.7 minutes.
-
Kevin Love MIA PFHeat's Kevin Love: Logs limited practice
1h agoLove (arm) was a partial practice participant Tuesday in advance of Wednesday's game against Philadelphia.
Love's status for Wednesday's Play-In Tournament battle remains up in the air. It isn't a win-or-go-home scenario for Miami, who would play the winner of Chicago and Atlanta if Philadelphia prevails Wednesday, but Love's ability to rebound and space the frontcourt would be a notable loss if he's ultimately unavailable. Love is dealing with a contusion to his upper arm.
-
Logan Thompson LV GGolden Knights' Logan Thompson: Slated to start
8m agoThompson was the first goalie off the ice at morning skate, per Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, putting him on track to guard the home goal versus Chicago on Tuesday.
Thompson played well in his last start Friday against the Wild, stopping 25 of 27 shots en route to a 7-2 blowout victory. He'll try to secure a win in what could be his last start of the regular season in a highly-favorable home matchup with a Blackhawks team that's an eye-popping 7-31-1 on the road this year.
-
Torey Krug STL DBlues' Torey Krug: Won't play in season finale
17m agoKrug (upper body) won't be in the lineup for Wednesday's regular-season finale against Dallas, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
Krug will finish the season with four goals, 39 points, an ugly minus-31 rating, 162 shots and 111 hits through 77 contests. He should produce similar totals while seeing regular power-play usage in 2024-25, making him a decent complementary option at defense in most fantasy formats.
-
Brady Skjei CAR DHurricanes' Brady Skjei: Back in action
27m agoSkjei (rest) will be in the lineup Tuesday versus the Blue Jackets, according to Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.
Skjei will play on the top pairing with Brent Burns after sitting out Sunday's 4-2 win over Chicago for roster management purposes. The 30-year-old Skjei has 13 goals, 47 points, 185 shots on net and 90 blocked shots in 80 contests this campaign.
-
Jonas Rondbjerg LV RWGolden Knights' Jonas Rondbjerg: Recalled from AHL
31m agoRondbjerg was recalled from AHL Henderson on Tuesday.
Rondbjerg has played in 18 games with the Knights this season, recording one goal and two assists. The 25-year-old will hope to stick with the Golden Knights in a depth spot for the team's playoff run.
-
Teuvo Teravainen CAR LWHurricanes' Teuvo Teravainen: Ready to rock
32m agoTeravainen (undisclosed) is expected to play Tuesday against Columbus, according to Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.
Following a two-game absence, Teravainen is projected to play on the top line alongside Jack Drury and Martin Necas. The Hurricanes will rest several key players in the contest, including Sebastian Aho, Jake Guentzel and Seth Jarvis, which could give Teravainen plenty of ice time. The 29-year-old Teravainen has 23 goals and 51 points in 75 contests this season.
-
Arturs Silovs VAN GCanucks' Arturs Silovs: Returned to AHL
33m agoSilovs was sent back to the minors Tuesday.
Silovs became expendable following the return of Thatcher Demko from a knee injury. The 23-year-old Silovs figures to link back up with AHL Abbotsford for their final two games of the regular season but figures to be at the top of the shortlist of call-ups should the need arise for Vancouver.
