Tyler Shatley JAC OGJaguars' Tyler Shatley: Staying in Jacksonville
45m agoThe Jaguars re-signed Shatley on Friday.
Not all of the details of the deal are known at this point, but Shatley is now poised to spend at least next season in Jacksonville - his 11th straight year with the team. The Jaguars will likely seek to add talent at offensive line during the upcoming draft, but Shatley figures to at least provide veteran depth to the interior of the offensive line in 2024.

Andrew Ogletree IND TEColts' Drew Ogletree: Back with team
4h agoGM Chris Ballard noted Friday that Ogletree is off the NFL's Commissioner Exempt List, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports.
Per the report, Ogletree -- whose charges stemming from his arrest in December were dismissed last month -- is back with the Colts during offseason workouts. Prior to being placed on the Commissioner Exempt List on Dec. 30, Ogletree caught nine of his 21 targets for 147 yards and two TDs in 12 regular-season games with Indianapolis.

J.K. Dobbins BAL RBChargers' J.K. Dobbins: Should be ready for training camp
4h agoDobbins (Achilles), who agreed to terms with the Chargers on Thursday, "should be" ready for training camp according to GM Joe Hortiz, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Tom Pelissero of NFL Network relayed last month that Dobbins -- who suffered a torn Achilles in Baltimore's regular-season opener in 2023 -- has been cleared for football activities, with previous reports having noted that the running back had resumed running this offseason. Based on the assessment of Hortiz on Thursday, Dobbins is still working his way back from his injury, but if the 2020 second-rounder is able to return to form, he and Gus Edwards (who also came over from the Ravens in free agency) have a chance to provide an effective 1-2 punch in the Chargers' backfield in 2024 under the guidance of offensive coordinator Greg Roman, who both players worked with in Baltimore.

Kerby Joseph DET DBLions' Kerby Joseph: Should be 100 percent for camp
6h agoJoseph (hip) -- who won't take part in practices this spring -- expects to be fully healthy by the start of training camp, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Joseph underwent an offseason procedure to address a hip injury that originally occurred in Week 2 of the 2023 campaign. Though he returned to play after missing two contests, en route to logging 82 tackles and four picks in 15 regular-season outings overall, the issue evidently lingered to the point that it required attention following the postseason. Once he's back to 100 percent, Joseph will reprise his starting free safety role with the Lions.

D.J. Chark CAR WRDJ Chark: Visits with Chargers
7h agoChark visited the Chargers on Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Few teams are more in need of wide receivers, with the Chargers having released Mike Williams and traded Keenan Allen earlier this offseason. Chark has never come close to matching his 1,008-yard, eight-TD performance in 2019 for Jacksonville, but he did top 500 yards both of the past two seasons in Detroit and Carolina, starting 21 of 26 games along the way. Chark will turn 28 in September and doesn't figure to command a large contract.

Courtland Sutton DEN WRBroncos' Courtland Sutton: No concern about OTA absence
7h agoBroncos GM George Paton suggested Thursday that he isn't worried about Sutton's absence from voluntary offseason workouts, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports. "It's 100 percent voluntary," Paton said. "It's the first week of the offseason program. I've talked to Courtland. He's in a good place, and I'll just leave it at that."
Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported Tuesday that Sutton's absence from voluntary OTAs is related to wanting a new contract. The wideout has two years and approximately $27.6 million remaining on his current deal, with only $2 million of that guaranteed. It's not the type of situation with especially high risk for a holdout, and Sutton looks to be especially important for Denver's offense after the team traded WR Jerry Jeudy to Cleveland in the offseason. It's not yet clear who will start across from Sutton at wide receiver, nor is it clear who will get the nod under center Week 1. The Broncos still have a lot to work out this spring and summer, with the upcoming NFL Draft presumably being a piece of that puzzle.

Jack Leiter TEX SPRangers' Jack Leiter: Returning to Triple-A
8m agoThe Rangers optioned Leiter to Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.
The right-hander surrendered seven runs over 3.2 frames in his major-league debut Thursday versus the Tigers and will now make his way back to Triple-A. Michael Lorenzen (neck) is poised to make his season debut this weekend to fill out the Rangers' rotation. Leiter could receive another look with the big club later in the year.

Andruw Monasterio MIL 3BBrewers' Andruw Monasterio: Recalled from Triple-A
10m agoMonasterio was recalled from Triple-A Nashville by the Brewers on Friday.
Monasterio was hitless in seven at-bats earlier this season with the Brewers and went 5-for-12 during his time at Nashville. He will provide Milwaukee with infield depth.
-
Nolan Schanuel LAA 1BAngels' Nolan Schanuel: Out of Friday's lineup
10m agoSchanuel is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Reds, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Schanuel went 4-for-7 over the previous two games -- doubling his hit total from his first 14 contests of the season -- but will take a seat for Friday's series opener in Cincinnati. Miguel Sano will man first base while Brandon Drury (hamstring) returns to the lineup as the designated hitter.
-
Jake Bauers MIL 1BBrewers' Jake Bauers: Goes on bereavement list
13m agoBauers was placed on the bereavement list by the Brewers on Friday.
Bauers will be away, by rule, for at least the three-game weekend series in St. Louis and potentially as many as seven games. Rhys Hoskins will be at first base Friday for the Brewers.
-
Trevor Megill MIL RPBrewers' Trevor Megill: Back from concussion IL
16m agoMegill was activated from the 7-day concussion injured list by the Brewers on Friday.
Megill has been sidelined for most of this month after suffering a concussion as a result of a fall when he fainted. He made two scoreless relief appearances on a rehab assignment and is now ready to rejoin the Brewers' relief corps. He could find himself back in the mix for saves in an unsettled bullpen.
-
Austin Martin MIN CFTwins' Austin Martin: Not in Friday's lineup
18m agoMartin is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Tigers.
Martin is in the midst of a modest five-game hit streak but will head to the bench for Friday's contest. Trevor Larnach will take over in left field and bat cleanup in the series opener versus Detroit.
-
Craig Porter Jr. CLE PGCavaliers' Craig Porter: Ruled out for Saturday
45m agoPorter (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's Game 1 against the Magic.
Porter sprained his left ankle during Sunday's regular-season finale against the Hornets and will be sidelined to begin the playoffs. It's unclear when Porter will return, but once he's healthy, he could struggle to find playing time as part of a strong bench unit consisting of Caris LeVert, Sam Merrill and Isaac Okoro.
-
Dean Wade CLE PFCavaliers' Dean Wade: Won't suit up Saturday
1h agoWade (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's Game 1 against the Magic.
Wade has not played since March 8, a 33-minute start where he accumulated zero points, four rebounds, two assists and a block. It's unclear when the 27-year-old will be able to return.
-
Ty Jerome CLE SGCavaliers' Ty Jerome: Unavailable for Saturday's game
1h agoJerome (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's Game 1 against the Magic.
Jerome has not played since Oct. 27, and it seems unlikely that he'll be able to return during the playoffs. The 26-year-old underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right ankle in late January, and there is still no timetable for his return.
-
Sam Merrill CLE SGCavaliers' Sam Merrill: Set to return for Game 1
1h agoMerrill (illness) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's Game 1 against the Magic.
Merrill sat out the final three games of the regular season due to a neck strain, but he'll be able to suit up to begin the playoffs. The 27-year-old averaged 8.0 points and 2.0 rebounds in 17.5 minutes per game during the regular season.
-
Darius Garland CLE PGCavaliers' Darius Garland: Healthy to start postseason
1h agoGarland (back) isn't listed on the Cavaliers' injury report for Game 1 of the first-round series against the Magic on Saturday.
Garland missed the regular-season finale to rest a low back contusion but should be full go to start the postseason. Over his last five appearances, the dynamic guard has averaged 20.2 points, 6.2 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 2.4 steals in 35.0 minutes per game.
-
Caris LeVert CLE SGCavaliers' Caris LeVert: Not on injury report
1h agoLeVert (knee) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's Game 1 against the Magic.
LeVert missed the Cavaliers' regular-season finale due to left knee soreness, but he'll be back in action as the team begins postseason play Saturday. Over six regular-season appearances in April, he averaged 18.3 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 29.7 minutes per game.
-
Carl Grundstrom LA RWKings' Carl Grundstrom: Returning from conditioning stint
36m agoGrundstrom (lower body) will return from his conditioning loan with AHL Ontario and practice with LA on Saturday, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports.
Grundstrom has recorded a goal and an assist in two appearances with Ontario during his conditioning stint. It was his first action since Feb. 13. Grundstrom provided eight goals, 12 points and 115 hits in 50 regular-season contests with LA in 2023-24. If he's available for Game 1 against Edmonton on Monday, then the 26-year-old might serve on the fourth line.
-
Ryan Johansen PHI CFlyers' Ryan Johansen: Out indefinitely
1h agoJohansen (undisclosed) doesn't believe he's medically fit to play hockey, and GM Daniel Briere doesn't expect to get the 31-year-old forward back, Jon Bailey of Philly Hockey Now reports Friday.
Johansen had 13 goals and 23 points in 63 contests with Colorado before being dealt to Philadelphia on March 6. The Flyers promptly tried to reassign him to AHL Lehigh Valley, but Johansen informed Philadelphia that he was hurt, which made him ineligible to be moved to the minors, per Max Miller of The Hockey News. Instead, he spent the remainder of the campaign attempting to recover from the injury. He comes with an $8 million annual cap hit through 2024-25, but the Flyers are only responsible for half of that burden with the rest being charged to Nashville because the Predators retained salary as part of the trade to Colorado back in June. If Johansen can't play in 2024-25, then he will presumably be moved to long-term injured reserve.
-
Alex Turcotte LA CKings' Alex Turcotte: Returns to minors
2h agoTurcotte was reassigned to AHL Ontario on Friday.
Turcotte had a goal and four points in 20 regular-season contests with LA in 2023-24. He's also supplied seven goals and 25 points across 33 appearances with Ontario.
-
Bobby McMann TOR CMaple Leafs' Bobby McMann: Questionable for Game 1
2h agoMcMann (lower body) missed Friday's practice and is questionable for Game 1 versus Boston on Saturday, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.
McMann was absent for Toronto's final two regular-season contests due to the injury. He finished the 2023-24 campaign with 15 goals, 24 points, 52 PIM and 117 hits in 56 appearances. The 27-year-old averaged just 11:34 of ice time during the regular season and would likely see his minutes be similarly limited if he is an option for the postseason opener.
-
William Nylander TOR RWMaple Leafs' William Nylander: Questionable for Saturday
2h agoNylander (undisclosed) missed Friday's practice, putting his availability for Game 1 against Boston on Saturday in question, per Joshua Kloke of The Athletic.
Nylander set a new career high of 98 points and matched his personal best of 40 goals while playing in all 82 regular-season games. The Maple Leafs might experiment with having Auston Matthews, Mitchell Marner and William Nylander all on separate lines in an effort to spread their offense, so Nylander's absence would throw a significant wrench in that plan. If he can't play in Game 1, Noah Gregor, who is otherwise projected to be a healthy scratch, might serve in a bottom-six capacity.
-
Jesper Fast CAR RWHurricanes' Jesper Fast: Won't play Saturday
3h agoFast (undisclosed) will not be in the lineup for Game 1 against the Islanders on Saturday, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.
Fast is currently stuck in a 24-game goal drought dating back to Feb. 13 versus the Stars. During his slump, the Swede notched six helpers, 23 shots and 30 hits while averaging 12:03 of ice time. Once given the all-clear, Fast should challenge Jack Drury or Stefan Noesen for a spot in the lineup.
