    Davis played 11 NFL seasons, spending five years with the Rams, two with the Jaguars and the final four of his career with the Patriots. The 34-year-old primarily played on special teams and hadn't played a defensive snap since 2020. He'll finish his career with 118 combined tackles, two interceptions and three fumbles recovered.

  • Olamide Zaccheaus PHI WR
    Commanders' Olamide Zaccheaus: Moving on to Washington
    1h ago

    Zaccheaus has agreed to a deal with the Commanders, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    In his only campaign with the Eagles, Zaccheaus (who caught 40 passes with the Falcons in 2022) finished the 2023 regular season with 10 catches for 164 yards and two TDs in 17 games. With the Commanders, the 26-year-old will add depth to a wideout corps that is currently led by Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson. In that context, Zaccheaus has some bounce-back potential if he can carve out steady snaps in 2024 behind the team's top duo.

    Bills' DeShawn Williams: Lands in Buffalo
    4h ago

    The Bills signed Williams to a one-year contract Thursday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

    Jayden Daniels: Throws at LSU Pro Day
    4h ago

    Daniels, who opted to not throw at the NFL Scouting Combine, did so at LSU's Pro Day on Wednesday, Eric Edholm of NFL.com reports.

    Per the report, Daniels, who measured in at 6-foot-3⅝, 210 pounds, was slated to spend time afterward with the Patriots, Commanders, Giants, Vikings, Broncos and Raiders. As next month's draft approaches, the 2023 Heisman Trophy winner is viewed as one of the top options at the QB position along with USC's Caleb Williams, North Carolina's Drake Maye and Michigan's J.J. McCarthy. While Williams is expected to be selected first overall, where Daniels lands remains to be seen, though what is clear is that the top four signal-callers figure to come off the board quickly, in any case.

    Jaguars' Josiah Deguara: Inking with Jacksonville
    7h 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
    9h 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.

    Nationals' Nick Senzel: Has broken thumb
    16m ago

    Senzel broke his thumb while fielding a ground ball before Thursday's game against the Reds, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    The Nationals should offer more details following Thursday's game, but it sounds like Senzel may be facing an extended absence to begin the season. Ildemaro Vargas entered the lineup as Senzel's replacement and figures to see regular reps at third base while he's out.

    Valdez is starting at second base and batting eighth for Thursday's opener against the Mariners, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

    With Vaughn Grissom (groin) on the 10-day IL, Valdez will get first crack at second base Thursday ahead of Pablo Reyes. In spring training, Valdez slashed .204/.264/.531 with four home runs and seven RBI over 49 at-bats.

    Guardians' Estevan Florial: Sitting versus southpaw
    32m ago

    Florial isn't in the Guaridans' lineup Thursday against the Athletics.

    Florial is likely to start in center field most days as a strong-side platoon option, but he will take a seat Thursday with left-hander Alex Wood on the bump. Tyler Freeman will get the nod in center field instead and bat sixth.

  • Sean Hjelle SF RP
    Giants' Sean Hjelle: Shelved with elbow strain
    34m ago

    The Giants placed Hjelle (elbow) on the 15-day injured list Thursday.

    Hjelle has resumed throwing off the mound since being shut down earlier this month with a mild right elbow sprain, but he's still likely to face an uphill battle to make it back from the 15-day injured list April 9 when first eligible. At this stage, Alex Cobb (hip) seems to be ahead of Hjelle in his throwing progression, as Cobb threw 40 pitches in a minor-league spring training game last weekend. If Cobb beats Hjelle back from the IL, the latter would likely have to settle for a long-relief role or a rotation spot at Triple-A Sacramento upon being activated.

    Naylor isn't in the Guardians' lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics.

    The lefty-hitting Naylor will take a seat for Opening Day as southpaw Alex Wood prepares to toe the slab for Oakland. Austin Hedges will get the nod behind the plate instead and bat eighth.

    Cunningham (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Wizards.

    Ivey (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Wizards.

    We'll have a better idea on Ivey's status for Friday's game based on his activity level at shootaround, but if he is able to return from a one-game absence, Chimezie Metu would likely head back to the second unit.

  • Simone Fontecchio DET SF
    Pistons' Simone Fontecchio: Won't play Friday
    7m ago

    Fontecchio (toe) will remain on the sidelines for Friday's game against the Wizards.

    Friday will mark Fontecchio's seventh straight game on the inactive list, and considering there haven't been any reports of him practicing and he continues to get ruled out 24 hours in advance of tip-off, it's safe to assume he's still not close. He belongs on the waiver wire in re-draft formats.

    Clowney is probable for Friday's game against the Bulls due to a back contusion, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

    It sounds like Clowney will power through the back issue Friday night, but he's not a large enough part of the rotation to merit much attention in most leagues.

    Dunn (upper body) wore a non-contact jersey during Thursday's practice and is consequently expected to miss the evening's game against Anaheim, per Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network.

    Dunn, who was last in the lineup March 4, has 11 goals and 45 points in 57 outings in 2023-24. The 27-year-old defenseman should resume his role as a top-four defenseman once he recovers.
