Taylor Decker DET OTLions' Taylor Decker: Recovered from offseason surgery
2m agoDecker said Tuesday he underwent foot/ankle surgery this offseason and resumed working out mid-February, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.
Decker appears already recovered from his offseason procedure. The 30-year-old left tackle only missed two regular-season games last season, while suiting up for all three of Detroit's postseason contests. Now heading into the final year of his contract, Decker is still playing at a high level.

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.
-
Jose Soriano LAA RPAngels' Jose Soriano: Receives second straight start
22m 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
34m 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
1h 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.

Terry Rozier MIA SGHeat's Terry Rozier: Doesn't practice Tuesday
4m agoRozier (neck) didn't practice Tuesday, Zachary Weinberger of Clutch Points reports.
Rozier missed the final four games of the regular season due to neck spasms and still isn't practicing ahead of Wednesday's Play-In Game against the 76ers. Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reported Monday that Rozier was getting more tests done on his neck, but the Heat have been cautiously optimistic about the shooting guard's availability. Duncan Robinson (back) and Kevin Love (arm) were both limited during Tuesday's practice.
-
Duncan Robinson MIA SGHeat's Duncan Robinson: Limited at practice
5m agoRobinson (back) was limited at Tuesday's practice, Zachary Weinberger of Clutch Points reports.
Robinson missed the final three games of the regular season, but his limited participation suggests he's now considered day-to-day. Miami will release its official injury report Tuesday evening, so that's when fantasy managers can expect more clarity on his status for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.
-
Mitchell Robinson NY CKnicks' Mitchell Robinson: Full practice participant
6m agoRobinson (ankle/rest) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice and is not dealing with an injury after sitting for the second half of Sunday's win over Chicago, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.
Robinson is "fine" in the words of coach Tom Thibodeau, and he has additional time to continue re-charging while New York awaits the outcome of the Play-In Tournament. Robinson has been volatile across 10 games since returning from ankle surgery, but he represents a valuable platoon element of the Knicks' frontcourt.
-
Cam Reddish LAL SFLakers' Cam Reddish: Dealing with ankle trouble
11m agoReddish is questionable for Tuesday's Play-In 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, the 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
32m 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
37m 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.
-
Jack Quinn BUF RWSabres' Jack Quinn: Two helpers in victory
1m agoQuinn notched a pair of assists in Monday's 4-2 win over the Lightning.
Quinn set up Dylan Cozens' opening goal early in the first period before adding a second helper on Zach Benson's tally in the third. While injuries limited the 22-year-old Quinn to just 27 games this year, he finished strong with seven points (four goals, three assists) in his last seven contests. He'll wrap up his sophomore campaign with nine goals and 19 points.
-
Jordan Staal CAR CHurricanes' Jordan Staal: Not suiting up Tuesday
2m agoStaal (rest) won't be in the lineup Tuesday against Columbus, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
Several key members of the Hurricanes, including Staal, are being rested in the team's regular-season finale ahead of the start of the playoffs. The 35-year-old Staal registered 10 goals, 30 points, 123 shots on net and 142 hits in 80 outings this campaign.
-
Jaccob Slavin CAR DHurricanes' Jaccob Slavin: Resting versus Columbus
6m agoSlavin (rest) won't be in the lineup for Tuesday's season finale against the Blue Jackets, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
Slavin and seven other key Carolina players will sit out Tuesday in order to get some extra rest ahead of Game 1 of the playoffs. Slavin's picked up 37 points and 120 blocks through 81 games while skating in a top-four role this campaign.
-
Andrei Svechnikov CAR RWHurricanes' Andrei Svechnikov: Out for rest against Columbus
8m agoSvechnikov (rest) won't be in the lineup Tuesday versus the Blue Jackets, according to Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.
Svechnikov is one of several key regulars who won't play in Carolina's regular-season finale. They are all being rested before the start of the playoffs. Svechnikov produced 19 goals, 52 points, 144 shots on net and 142 hits in 59 appearances this campaign.
-
Seth Jarvis CAR CHurricanes' Seth Jarvis: Gets night off
9m 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
11m 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.
