Deshaun Watson CLE QBBrowns' Deshaun Watson: Throwing full speed
42m agoWatson (shoulder) said Tuesday he's already resumed "throwing full speed" but that he's uncertain how large a workload he'll handle during OTAs and minicamp, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Watson clarified that certain members of the Browns' medical staff are in favor of a more conservative approach to the quarterback's recovery from right shoulder surgery, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram, which would wait until training camp to have him fully practice. Still, Watson has been fully forthright in his confidence to be available for the Browns' season opener, and there appear to be no real worries about his Week 1 status. In case Watson misses part of the offseason, or struggles during the fall, Cleveland can lean on newly-signed, experienced backups Jameis Winston and Tyler Huntley.

Odell Beckham Jr. BAL WROdell Beckham: Nothing imminent with Miami
2h agoDolphins general manager Chris Grier said Tuesday that there's "nothing imminent" on a deal between Beckham and the team, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Beckham was reportedly extended a contract offer by Miami after visiting with the team back in March, but it doesn't appear that a signing is around the corner. The 31-year-old is coming off a forgettable 14-game season with the Ravens, in which he put up a 35-565-3 receiving line, but he could find more success as a No. 3 option behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. It could be that Beckham will need to wait until after the dust of the 2024 NFL Draft has settled to find a landing spot.

Jaylen Waddle MIA WRDolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Fifth-year option to be exercised
2h agoGeneral manager Chris Grier said Tuesday that he expects the Dolphins to pick up Waddle's fifth-year option, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
The Dolphins have consistently stated a desire to come to terms with Waddle on a long-term contract, and Grier specifically dismissed trade rumors earlier this offseason. The third-year pro has recorded three straight 1,000-yard seasons to begin his career, becoming the first wideout to do so in franchise history, and there's little question of his value as a No. 2 read behind Tyreek Hill. Picking up Waddle's fifth-year option will keep him under contract with the Dolphins for two more seasons.

Taylor Decker DET OTLions' Taylor Decker: Recovered from offseason surgery
2h 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 missed only 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
5h 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
19h 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.
-
Curtis Mead TB 2BRays' Curtis Mead: Not in Tuesday's lineup
4m agoMead is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Angels
Mead had started three straight and six of seven at second base since Brandon Lowe (oblique) went down, but he will yield to Amed Rosario in this one. The 23-year-old Mead has managed just a .577 this season and is still looking for his first RBI.
-
DJ Stewart NYM DHMets' DJ Stewart: On bench Tuesday
8m agoStewart is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Stewart was held out of the lineup the past two games with the Mets facing left-handed starters, but he's sitting again Tuesday with righty Jared Jones pitching for Pittsburgh. Francisco Alvarez will rest his legs as the designated hitter while Omar Narvaez receives a start behind the plate.
-
Tyler O'Neill BOS RFRed Sox's Tyler O'Neill: Sitting Tuesday
29m agoO'Neill (head) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Guardians, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.
The 28-year-old is going through the concussion protocol after colliding in the outfield with Rafael Devers on Monday, and O'Neill will sit at least one game as he continues to be evaluated. He received eight stitches above his left eye, and O'Neill should be considered day-to-day until it's determined whether or not a trip to the 7-day injured list is necessary.
-
Trevor Rogers MIA SPMarlins' Trevor Rogers: Moving up to Wednesday
32m agoRogers will move up a day to start Wednesday versus the Giants, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Rogers last started Friday, so he will be pitching on regular rest. He's filling in for A.J. Puk, who is battling an illness.
-
A.J. Puk MIA SPMarlins' A.J. Puk: No longer starting Wednesday
33m agoPuk (illness) won't be available to start Wednesday's game against the Giants, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Puk was initially scheduled to toe the rubber for Monday's series opener but ended up getting pushed back to Wednesday due to an illness. Since he's still feeling under the weather, the Marlins have opted to push Puk back at least one more day, enabling Trevor Rogers to start Wednesday on four days' rest. It's not yet clear when Puk might be ready to take the ball next, but the Marlins have an opening Thursday versus the Cubs and are probably hoping he'll feel well enough to take the hill that day.
-
Anthony Rendon LAA 3BAngels' Anthony Rendon: Continues hot stretch
36m agoRendon went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs in Monday's 7-3 victory versus the Rays.
Rendon notched his fourth straight multi-hit game Monday, and he's now batting .263 on the season. That's an impressive climb considering that the veteran third baseman began the campaign hitless through his first 21 at-bats. Rendon is batting a robust .480 over his past six contests, and he's reached base via hit or walk in nine consecutive games. However, his role as the Angels' leadoff hitter has limited his run-production opportunities -- on the season, he has just one RBI.
-
Kevin Love MIA PFHeat's Kevin Love: Cleared for Wednesday
16m agoLove (arm) will be available Wednesday versus Philadelphia, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Love will join Caleb Martin and an otherwise inexperienced cast of forwards in Nikola Jovic, Haywood Highsmith and Jaime Jaquez for Miami's postseason rotation Wednesday. Love averaged 6.9 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 18.0 minutes across 20 games in the 2023 playoffs.
-
Duncan Robinson MIA SGHeat's Duncan Robinson: On track to return Wednesday
20m agoRobinson (back) is probable for Wednesday's Play-In Game versus Philadelphia, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Robinson appears to be on the mend, and he profiles as a swing factor in Miami's rotation due to Terry Rozier (neck) being officially ruled out for Wednesday's postseason affair. Robinson has not taken the court since April 7 due to an ongoing battle with facet syndrome.
-
Terry Rozier MIA SGHeat's Terry Rozier: Won't play Wednesday
20m agoRozier (neck) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Play-In Game against the 76ers, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Rozier missed the final four games of the regular season due to neck spasms and will remain sidelined for the beginning of postseason play. Caleb Martin has been starting at shooting guard recently, but Duncan Robinson (back) is expected to be available following a four-game absence of his own, so it's unclear who'll share the backcourt with Tyler Herro.
-
Malik Monk SAC SGKings' Malik Monk: Yet to begin running
32m agoMonk (knee) has not re-commenced running amid his ongoing recovery from an MCL sprain, and he "doesn't know if a first-round return is a realistic goal," per Anthony Slater of The Athletic.
Sacramento must defeat Golden State on Tuesday to unlock a first-round opportunity, but Monk appears to be multiple recovery steps away from returning to game action. Behind superstar De'Aaron Fox, Keon Ellis and Davion Mitchell have absorbed work in a shorthanded backcourt.
-
Ousmane Dieng OKC SFThunder's Ousmane Dieng: Recalled from G League
39m agoThe Thunder recalled Dieng from the G League's Oklahoma City Blue on Tuesday, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports.
Dieng had a monster outing for the Blue in Monday's 117-100 win over the Maine Celtics in Game 3 of the G League Finals, totaling 25 points, six rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 34 minutes to help lead his side to a G League championship. With the G League season now over, Dieng will rejoin the Thunder for the start of its playoff run, which is set to begin this weekend. The second-year forward isn't expected to be a regular part of Oklahoma City's rotation during the postseason.
-
Lindy Waters III OKC SGThunder's Lindy Waters: Recalled from G League
41m agoThe Thunder recalled Waters from the G League's Oklahoma City Blue on Tuesday, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports.
Waters helped the Oklahoma City Blue clinch their first G League Championship on Monday, putting up 15 points, 11 rebounds and two assists in a 117-100 victory over the Maine Celtics. The 26-year-old has been given more of an opportunity in April, averaging 7.9 points on 60.0 percent from the floor in 11.6 minutes. He's back for the Thunder's postseason run but isn't expected to be part of the NBA rotation.
-
Petr Mrazek CHI GBlackhawks' Petr Mrazek: Facing Vegas
20m agoMrazek will guard the road net Tuesday against the Golden Knights, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.
Mrazek only has one win in his past five outings despite posting an impressive .916 save percentage during that span. He has provided a record of 18-30-4 this season with a 3.06 GAA and a .906 save percentage across 55 games played. Vegas sits 11th in the league this campaign with 3.24 goals per contest.
-
Anthony Mantha LV RWGolden Knights' Anthony Mantha: Not playing against Hawks
22m agoMantha will miss Tuesday's matchup with Chicago due to an undisclosed injury, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.
Mantha is reportedly considered day-to-day, so his absence may not linger into the postseason. Since joining the Knights at the trade deadline, the Quebec native has managed three goals and seven assists in 18 outings. Without Mantha in the lineup, Michael Amadio will return to action after having missed the previous two games as a healthy scratch.
-
Chandler Stephenson LV CGolden Knights' Chandler Stephenson: Considered day-to-day
27m agoStephenson won't be in the lineup versus Chicago on Tuesday due to an undisclosed injury, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.
Stephenson is considered day-to-day, so he could still be an option for the season finale against Anaheim on Thursday or, perhaps more importantly, Game 1 of the playoffs. In his previous 11 contests, the 29-year-old center managed just two goals while chipping in eight helpers, including four power-play points. Without Stephenson in the lineup, Paul Cotter looks set to take on a second-line role.
-
Jacob Markstrom CGY GFlames' Jacob Markstrom: Tending twine Tuesday
32m agoMarkstrom will patrol the road crease versus Vancouver on Tuesday, Eric Francis of Sportsnet reports.
Markstrom is stuck in a three-game losing streak while also having won just once in his last seven outings. During that seven-game stretch, the 34-year-old backstop has managed a subpar 3.48 GAA and .870 save percentage. Meanwhile, Dustin Wolf has won three in a row and could get the nod for the season finale against San Jose on Thursday.
-
Logan Thompson LV GGolden Knights' Logan Thompson: Slated to start
1h agoThompson was the first goalie off the ice at morning skate, per Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, putting him on track to guard the home goal versus Chicago on Tuesday.
Thompson played well in his last start Friday against the Wild, stopping 25 of 27 shots en route to a 7-2 blowout victory. He'll try to secure a win in what could be his last start of the regular season in a highly-favorable home matchup with a Blackhawks team that's an eye-popping 7-31-1 on the road this year.
-
Torey Krug STL DBlues' Torey Krug: Won't play in season finale
1h agoKrug (upper body) won't be in the lineup for Wednesday's regular-season finale against Dallas, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
Krug will finish the season with four goals, 39 points, an ugly minus-31 rating, 162 shots and 111 hits through 77 contests. He should produce similar totals while seeing regular power-play usage in 2024-25, making him a decent complementary option at defense in most fantasy formats.
