  • Josiah Deguara GB TE
    Jaguars' Josiah Deguara: Inking with Jacksonville
    2h 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
    4h 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.

    Texans' Derek Stingley: Slow start, strong finish
    4h ago

    Stingley recorded 39 tackles, 13 passes defensed and five interceptions over 11 regular-season games in 2023.

    Stingley, a second-year cornerback and 2022 first-round draft pick, suffered a Week 3 hamstring that created issues for the defense early on, but upon his return Week 10, Stingley made an impact. He had interceptions in three straight games, including a Week 13 win over the Broncos. Stingley will return as Houston's top cornerback in 2024.

    DeAndre Houston-Carson: Enters free agency
    4h ago

    Houston-Carson recorded 41 tackles, five passes defensed, two interceptions and one fumble recovery over 13 regular-season games in 2023.

    Houston-Carson started the season in Baltimore then finished up in Houston, where he played a career-high 447 snaps on defense. Injuries on the back end led to Houston-Carson playing a big role for the Texans, including two pivotal plays in a Week 10 win over the Bengals. He entered unrestricted free agency during the offseason.

    Texans' Jimmie Ward: Injury-marred 2023
    4h ago

    Ward (quadriceps) recorded 50 tackles, three passes defensed, one interception and one forced fumble over 10 games in 2023.

    Ward, a team captain, was beset by injuries all season long. He missed time due to hip, hamstring and shoulder injuries before a quadricep ended his season in December. In between the setbacks, Ward played well, and his one interception was an end-zone pick that sealed a win over Denver. Houston went 6-4 in games he played and could use his stabilizing presence on the back end. Ward turns 33 in July and will be entering his 11th season.

    Texans' Henry To'oTo'o: Contributes in rookie season
    4h ago

    To'oTo'o recorded 61 tackles, two passes defensed, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery over 15 regular-season games in 2023.

    To'oTo'o, a fifth-round draft pick out of Alabama, started from Week 2 to Week 7 and played in both of Houston's playoff games during his rookie season. The Texans lost two linebackers to free agency -- Blake Cashman and Denzel Perryman -- which leaves To'oTo'o as a projected starter for 2024. However, Houston is expected to address the position during the offseason.

    It's not clear when Sousa suffered the injury, but it will keep him out for at least the first couple weeks of the season. The left-handed reliever should be in the mix for a spot in the bullpen once he's healthy.

    Thunder's Josh Giddey: Posts 31 points in OT loss

    Giddey amassed 31 points (12-20 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 7-11 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 132-126 overtime loss to the Rockets.

    The Thunder were without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) on Wednesday, but Giddey stepped up and delivered one of his best, most complete performances of the season. Giddey might enjoy another heavy workload on offense against the Suns on Friday if Gilgeous-Alexander is ruled out.

    Spurs' Jeremy Sochan: All-around performance in win

    Sochan ended Wednesday's 118-111 win over the Jazz with 17 points (7-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and five steals over 36 minutes.

    Sochan recorded a season-high five steals during Wednesday's win over the Jazz. Despite struggling with his efficiency, the 20-year-old forward was one rebound shy of posting his second straight double-double. Sochan has helped form a formidable defensive frontcourt alongside Victor Wembanyama.

  • Dillon Brooks HOU SF
    Rockets' Dillon Brooks: Goes for 20 points Wednesday
    4m ago

    Brooks posted 20 points (8-18 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal over 43 minutes during Wednesday's 132-126 overtime win over the Thunder.

    Brooks wasn't really efficient from three-point range, but he sill found a way to reach the 20-point mark while leaving his mark in other areas of the game as well. The rise of Jalen Green has taken some of Brooks' offensive touches away, but the veteran forward has still scored in double digits in all but one of his last nine appearances, averaging 13.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game in that span.

  • Amen Thompson HOU PG
    Rockets' Amen Thompson: Records monster double-double

    Thompson had 25 points (10-18 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 15 rebounds, four assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 132-126 overtime win over the Thunder.

    Thompson moved to the starting lineup on March 12 and has looked productive, showing the ability to make an impact on both ends of the court. He has three double-doubles in his last eight starts, and he should remain a reliable two-way presence for an on-the-rise Rockets team. Thompson is averaging 15.4 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.1 steals per game during Houston's ongoing 10-game winning streak.

    Heat's Tyler Herro: Ramping up, still no timetable
    7m ago

    Coach Erik Spoelstra said Thursday that Herro (foot) has progressed to the next stage of his rehab and is beginning to ramp up his conditioning, Wes Goldberg of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

    Herro was present and getting shots up during the media portion of Thursday's practice, but his status for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers remains unclear. The sharpshooter has missed 15 straight games due to right foot tendinitis, so even if he gets the green light soon, he will likely be limited for at least a few games to avoid a setback. However, it sounds like Herro is on track to be 100 percent by the time the Play-In Tournament begins, which begins April 16.

  • Isaiah Joe OKC SG
    Thunder's Isaiah Joe: Scores 17 points off bench

    Joe posted 17 points (6-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and six assists over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 132-126 overtime loss to the Rockets.

    Joe grabbed headlines Wednesday following a posterizing dunk on Jeff Green, but he did more than that, and he was actually one of the Thunder's most productive players in this loss despite coming off the bench. Joe has scored in double digits in just three of his 13 appearances this month, however, so he doesn't carry a lot of upside heading into the final weeks of the regular season.

    Skinner has given up three or more goals in each of his last four outings but still managed to secure a 2-1-1 record.

    Tarasov has started three of the Jackets' last seven outings, as the team has decided to split the workload between the 25-year-old and Elvis Merzlikins. Looking ahead to next season, Tarasov could be in the mix for the starting job, especially if the team honors Merzlikins's prior trade request. For now, Tarasov should get the nod in every other game.
