Courtland Sutton DEN WRBroncos' Courtland Sutton: Not at voluntary OTAs
3h 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
17h 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.

Emanuel Wilson GB RBPackers' Emanuel Wilson: Sticks in Green Bay as ERFA
19h agoThe Packers re-signed Wilson on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
An undrafted rookie in 2023, Wilson made the Packers' initial 53-man roster following the preseason and even mixed into seven regular-season games, taking 14 carries for 85 yards and hauling in four of five targets for 23 yards while working behind Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon. Green Bay swapped out Jones for Josh Jacobs and also retained Dillon this offseason, meaning Wilson is poised for a similar role in the coming campaign, barring potential additions to the backfield in free agency or the draft.

Nick McCloud NYG CBGiants' Nick McCloud: Stays in the Big Apple
19h agoMcCloud (back) re-signed with the Giants on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
McCloud finished his 2023 campaign on the sidelines after getting injured in the team's season finale against the Eagles. Healthy now, the Notre Dame product can focus on being ready for a third campaign in New York after signing his free-agent tender.
-
Maxx Crosby LV DERaiders' Maxx Crosby: Fully healthy
19h agoCrosby (knee) said, "I'm feeling better than I ever have," Monday, after he spent much of 2023 fighting through a knee injury that required draining multiple times a week, Nick Shook of NFL.com reports.
Crosby set career highs in combined tackles (90) and sacks (14.5) last season despite spending much of the campaign hampered by a bursa joint issue. The 26-year-old underwent a procedure to correct it in January after the season ended and began rehabbing it soon after, which went "incredible," according to Crosby.

Rashee Rice KC WRChiefs' Rashee Rice: Expected to participate in virtual meetings
20h agoCoach Andy Reid indicated Monday that Rice is expected to remotely participate in the initial stage of the Chiefs' voluntary offseason program via virtual meetings, NFL.com reports.
Per Adam Teicher of ESPN.com, Rice -- who is is facing one count of aggravated assault, one count of collision involving serious bodily injury and six counts of collision involving injury stemming from his involvement in a car crash in Dallas last month -- turned himself in to police last week and was subsequently released on bond. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the league has been closely monitoring developments related to the incident, while Reid noted that it remains to be seen whether the wideout will participate later in the spring when the team's offseason program moves to Kansas City. "I want to keep gathering the information from the law enforcement people,'" Reid said Monday. "We'll just see where everything goes from there (and) let the process take place."

Jose Soriano LAA RPAngels' Jose Soriano: Receives second straight start
14m 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
26m 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.
-
Jacob Bird COL RPRockies' Jake Bird: Takes loss in extra innings
43m agoBird (0-1) allowed one hit and one unearned run across 0.2 innings Monday against the Phillies.
Bird entered the game after other high-leverage options in the Rockies bullpen, most notably Justin Lawrence. With a runner starting the frame on second base, Bird got two quick outs before allowing a single that plated the game-winning run. The Rockies have shuffled reliever roles to begin the season, but Bird still has the only save for the team. It's unclear if he is truly in the mix for saves, as he has allowed at least one earned run in three of his nine appearances and has a 1.66 WHIP with just a 4:3 K:B across 9.2 innings.
-
Justin Lawrence COL RPRockies' Justin Lawrence: Pitches seventh inning
1h agoLawrence allowed one hit and struck out one in a scoreless inning Monday against the Phillies.
Lawrence entered the game in the seventh inning of a tied game to face the sixth through eighth hitters in the Phillies lineup. He's made six appearances on the season and entered in non-traditional closer situations in three of his last four outings. Jake Bird has the only save to this point for the Rockies, and he also pitched the 10th inning of Monday's loss.

Joshua Lowe TB RFRays' Josh Lowe: Beginning rehab stint Thursday
1h agoLowe (oblique) is slated to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Durham on Thursday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Best of all, Rays manager Kevin Cash said that Lowe might not need too much time at Triple-A given how well he's been feeling. Lowe has been playing in games at extended spring training, and it sounds like he's moved past the Grade 1 right oblique strain that shelved him to begin the season. A return before the end of April would seem to be back on the table for Lowe, who hit 20 homers and stole 32 bases in a breakout 2023 campaign.
-
Josh Simpson MIA RPMarlins' Josh Simpson: Set for bullpen session
1h agoSimpson (elbow) is expected to throw a bullpen session later this week, MLB.com reports.
Simpson opened the season on the 15-day injured list while recovering from left elbow neuritis, but he appeared in line for close to a minimum-length stay on the shelf after he was able to begin a rehab assignment with Single-A Jupiter on April 6. However, he experienced a setback during that one-inning outing and hasn't pitched since. The setback doesn't appear to be a major one given that Simpson should get back on the mound soon, but he still may be around a week away from restarting his rehab assignment.

Cam Reddish LAL SFLakers' Cam Reddish: Dealing with ankle trouble
3m agoReddish is questionable for Tuesday's Play-In Tournament game against New Orleans due to a right ankle sprain, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.
Reddish did not suit up for the final two games of the regular season, missing a contest due to personal matters and being a healthy scratch for the finale. He's now dealing with pain in the same ankle that has sidelined him for multiple stretches this season, although he has been a minimal factor in the Lakers' rotation of late. Nonetheless, if he's unavailable to play Tuesday, defensive burden on the wings will fall entirely on the shoulders of Taurean Prince, Rui Hachimura and LeBron James (ankle).
-
De'Anthony Melton PHI SG76ers' De'Anthony Melton: Misses another practice Tuesday
24m agoMelton (back) missed the duration of Tuesday's practice, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
Melton also missed Monday's practice, putting his status for Wednesday's game versus Miami in real jeopardy. There should be more clarity on Melton's status when the 76ers release their injury report Tuesday evening.
-
Joel Embiid PHI C76ers' Joel Embiid: Gets in another practice
29m agoEmbiid (knee) was a full participant at Tuesday's practice, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
This was Embiid's second straight practice appearance, so he remains on track to play Wednesday against Miami. His absence in the season finale Sunday was merely a precaution based on previous reports.
-
Giannis Antetokounmpo MIL PFBucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Doubtful to begin series
2h agoESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports that the Bucks are preparing to be without Antetokounmpo (calf) for the beginning of their series against the Pacers.
This is in line with previous reporting, as there doesn't appear to be much optimism about Antetokounmpo appearing in the first couple games of the series. Wojnarowski adds that the Bucks are hopeful Antetokounmpo can return later in the series with constant treatment, but this is a fluid situation.
-
Olivier Sarr OKC CThunder's Olivier Sarr: Goes down with ankle injury
15h agoSarr left Monday's Game 3 of the G League Finals against the Maine Celtics due to an ankle injury, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.
Sarr was involved in a collision while pursuing a rebound, and he ultimately needed to be carried to the locker room. His return to Monday's clash seems unlikely given the circumstances in which he exited.
-
Draymond Green GS PFWarriors' Draymond Green: Cleared for Play-In Tournament
17h agoGreen (knee) will play Tuesday versus Sacramento.
Green and Stephen Curry (ankle) have both been removed from Monday's injury report, while Gary Payton (calf) is officially inactive. Malik Monk (knee) and Kevin Huerter (shoulder) represent notable absences for Sacramento, although there should still be no shortage of drama, as three of Golden State's four regular-season meetings versus the Kings this year were decided by exactly one point.
-
Seth Jarvis CAR CHurricanes' Seth Jarvis: Gets night off
1m agoJarvis (rest) won't dress against the Blue Jackets on Tuesday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
Jarvis and seven other lineup regulars will get the night off for Tuesday's meaningless regular-season finale. Jarvis, who's racked up 33 goals and 67 points through 81 contests this season, will be back in a top-six role for Game 1 of Carolina's first-round playoff series.
-
Timo Meier NJ RWDevils' Timo Meier: Lone marker in finale
2m agoMeier scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Islanders.
Meier got the Devils on the board early in the second period, knocking home a rebound off Semyon Varlamov to cut the Islanders' lead to 2-1. The 27-year-old winger finished the year strong, tallying nine goals and 16 points in his last 14 games. However, it was a disappointing campaign overall for Meier -- he'll finish with 28 goals and 52 points after surpassing the 60-point threshold in each of his previous two seasons.
-
Sebastian Aho CAR LWHurricanes' Sebastian Aho: Sitting Tuesday
5m agoAho (rest) won't be in the lineup Tuesday against Columbus, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.
Aho will get Carolina's regular-season finale off to rest before the start of the playoffs. He racked up 36 goals and 89 points in 78 games this season.
-
Frederik Andersen CAR GHurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Resting for season finale
5m agoAndersen (rest) will get the night off Tuesday versus Columbus, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
Andersen will be just one of eight key players that will get the night off for the Hurricanes. Andersen, who's gone 9-1-0 while posting an exceptional 1.30 GAA and .951 save percentage through 10 appearances since returning from a blood clotting issue in March, will almost certainly get the starting nod for Game 1 of Carolina's first-round playoff series.
-
Daniil Tarasov CLB GBlue Jackets' Daniil Tarasov: Unavailable for season finale
12m agoTarasov (upper body) won't be in the lineup Tuesday against the Hurricanes, per Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site.
Tarasov will miss his sixth straight contest. He will finish the 2023-24 season with a record of 8-11-3, a 3.18 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 24 games played. Jet Greaves will be backed up by Elvis Merzlikins (lower body) in Tuesday's home game against Carolina.
-
Adam Boqvist CLB DBlue Jackets' Adam Boqvist: Won't return for season finale
19m agoBoqvist (upper body) won't play in Tuesday's season finale against the Hurricanes.
Boqvist will miss a 16th straight game to close out the season. He'll finish the year having collected one goal and 10 points through 35 games in a bottom-four role.
