    Mario Edwards: Visits Houston
    3h ago

    Edwards (knee) had a visit with the Texans on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Edwards missed the final game of the 2023 season due to a knee injury. His visit in Houston indicates he has put that injury behind him. The journeyman recorded 21 tackles (15 solo), one pass defensed and one forced fumble across 15 games for Seattle last season. He is now looking for a new opportunity.

    Saints' Chase Young: Officially joins New Orleans
    4h ago

    The Saints and Young agreed to a contract Monday.

    According to Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com, Young's new deal will be for one year. The No. 2 overall pick in the 2020 Draft, Young earned Defensive Rookie of the Year honors to kick off his career, but his next two seasons were derailed by injuries, and he split 2023 between the Commanders and 49ers. With 16.5 sacks in 43 games in his first four campaigns, he'll be a part of a New Orleans pass rush that features Cameron Jordan and Carl Granderson.

  • Joshua Dobbs MIN QB
    49ers' Joshua Dobbs: Finds work in San Francisco
    5h ago

    The 49ers and Dobbs agreed to a contract Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    In 13 games (12 starts) between the Cardinals and Vikings this past season, Dobbs completed 262 of 417 (62.8 percent) of his passes for 2,464 yards, 13 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He also was viable as a runner, averaging 5.5 yards on his 77 carries while scoring six TDs on the ground. Brock Purdy is the unquestioned starting quarterback for San Francisco, but Dobbs' recent on-field work should give him a leg up on the backup job ahead of holdover Brandon Allen.

  • Rico Dowdle DAL RB
    Cowboys' Rico Dowdle: Remaining with Dallas
    5h ago

    Dowdle is set to re-sign with the Cowboys, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Following the free-agent departure of Tony Pollard, Dowdle is poised to reclaim his role in a Dallas backfield that also currently includes Deuce Vaughn, Malik Davis and Snoop Conner. Chances are, the Cowboys will add further RB depth via free agency or the draft, so until the team's personnel at the position is settled, Dowdle's fantasy upside for the 2024 season will be difficult to gauge.

  • Alexander Mattison MIN RB
    Raiders' Alexander Mattison: Set to join Las Vegas backfield
    5h ago

    Mattison is in line to sign with the Raiders, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    In 16 games for the Vikings during the 2023 regular season, Mattison had 180 carries for 700 yards and caught 30 of his 44 targets for 192 yards and three receiving TDs. With the Raiders, Mattison -- who turns 26 in June -- is slated to provide the team with needed backfield depth and a complementary option alongside 2022 fourth-rounder Zamir White following the free-agent departure of Josh Jacobs. Assuming White serves as Las Vegas' top RB option, Mattison's weekly upside will be modest, but if White is injured or struggles at all as the 2024 season progresses, Mattison could reenter the fantasy lineup equation.

    Chase Young: Looks set to sign with New Orleans
    6h ago

    Young is expected to sign a contract with the Saints after visiting with the team Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Young, the No. 2 overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft and former Defensive Rookie of the Year, was acquired by the 49ers prior to last season's trade deadline. He tallied 2.5 sacks across nine regular-season games with San Francisco but was allowed to walk in free agency, where it looks like he'll get a fresh start in New Orleans. Young looks to finally be back in top form after knee issues significantly hampered him in 2021 and 2022, and it would be an ideal situation for him to pair with (and learn from) veteran defensive end Cameron Jordan with the Saints.

    Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Named to Opening Day roster
    1h ago

    The Brewers confirmed Monday that Chourio will make the Opening Day roster, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    It was reported earlier Monday by skipper Pat Murphy that Chourio was "in the mix" to make the club's Opening Day roster, but Hogg established Monday evening that Chourio will be a member of the big-league squad to kick off the 2024 campaign. While expectations for the 20-year-old outfielder are high, especially following a massive eight-year, $82 million contract signed earlier this spring, he's fared well against major-league arms, hitting .286 (14-for-49) with three RBI and eight runs scored over 14 games in the Cactus League. Hogg notes that Chourio is expected to see the majority of his playing time in center field, where he won a minor-league Gold Glove during the 2022 season.

    Kessinger suffered a right hamstring strain during Monday's exhibition against Miami, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Kessinger suffered the injury while running the bases, and his status for the start of the regular season is in jeopardy following this diagnosis. The 26-year-old is expected to be re-evaluated within the next few days to determine his next steps and a potential timetable for a return.

    Tigers' Andy Ibanez: Impressing in camp
    3h ago

    Ibanez has played well this spring and likely has locked up an Opening Day roster spot, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

    Ibanez was a pleasant surprise for the Tigers last season and he's carried that over into camp, as he's now popped four home runs in 15 Grapefruit League contests to go along with a .963 OPS. The utility player doesn't have a regular home on the diamond, but if he keeps swinging a hot bat, he may force his way into the lineup more often than not.

    Cubs' Shota Imanaga: To start home opener?
    3h ago

    Imanaga appears on track to start the Cubs' fourth game of the season April 1, which is the home opener, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

    Justin Steele will get the ball on Opening Day in Texas, potentially followed by Kyle Hendricks and Jordan Wicks. Imanaga would then be in line to make his MLB debut when the Cubs return home for a series against the Rockies. The Japanese lefty has just a 4.66 ERA in three spring starts, though he's also struck out 19 batters in just 9.2 innings, which showcases the type of potential he possesses in his first season.

    Jazz's John Collins: Enters concussion protocol
    19m ago

    Collins is being evaluated for a concussion and will not return to Monday's game against Minnesota.

    Collins was visibly shaken up after attempting to contest an Anthony Edwards' dunk-of-the-year submission. His next opportunity to take the court comes Wednesday versus Oklahoma City, but his status for the remainder of the week could be entirely determined by if he is concussed. In his stead, Walker Kessler is likely due for more minutes, while Luka Samanic could re-enter the rotation and the versatility of Taylor Hendricks may be leaned on.

    Lakers' Christian Wood: Headed for surgery

    Wood is scheduled to undergo arthroscopic surgery on his left knee and will remain out for several weeks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

    This latest development is more bad news for the Lakers, as it seems unlikely that Wood will be cleared for game action before the regular season draws to a close. However, the team will evaluate the 28-year-old after the procedure to get a better idea of the timeline for his recovery.

    Collins took the brunt of a thunderous dunk by Anthony Edwards, who was also forced to temporarily visit the locker room before returning. Collins appeared to take a hand and knee to the face and is currently being evaluated by the training staff.

    Kings' Kevin Huerter: Out with shoulder injury

    Huerter will not return to Monday's game against Memphis due to a left shoulder injury.

    Huerter was fouled so hard by Desmond Bane that his left shoulder appears to subluxate/dislocate in the air -- although it was an inadvertent play and normal transition foul from Bane. No official diagnosis has been published by Sacramento yet, but Huerter's night is done.

    Huerter exited to the locker room in the first quarter of Monday's game against Memphis after suffering an arm injury, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

    Huerter was fouled in transition and immediately crumpled to a heap under the basket after taking a smack to the arm. It's unclear if his wrist or shoulder suffered more of the blow, but Huerter went straight to the locker room, visibly in pain.

  • Brayden Schenn STL C
    Blues' Brayden Schenn: First assist in 12 games
    2h ago

    Schenn dished out a power-play assist and fired a shot on net in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.

    Schenn was on a 10-game point drought before scoring against the Wild on Saturday and notching an assist Sunday. It certainly helps that he was bumped up to the top line next to Robert Thomas and Jordan Kyrou. The 32-year-old Schenn is having a down year with just 33 points through 68 games, and his minus-21 rating is just salt in the wound for fantasy purposes. Still, his spot in the top six should be secure for the remainder of the season, providing consistent upside even if it's flaky.

  • Zack Bolduc STL C
    Blues' Zachary Bolduc: Notches second assist of season
    2h ago

    Bolduc posted an assist, a shot on net and two PIM in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.

    The 2021 first-round pick now has two assists over the last three games after enduring an eight-game drought. Bolduc's ice time is limited, as he has surpassed 12 minutes of ice time just once this season. The Blues appear dedicated to giving Bolduc some run with the big club, but the 21-year-old likely needs more seasoning in the AHL before making the jump full time.
