    5h ago

    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
    5h 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
    8h ago

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

    Williams suited up for 16 regular-season games with the Panthers last season, a span in which he racked up 33 tackles (13 solo) and one sack. He stands to bolster Buffalo's defensive line as a depth piece for the 2024 season.

  • Jayden Daniels 2005 QB
    Jayden Daniels: Throws at LSU Pro Day
    8h 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
    11h 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 BAL RB
    J.K. Dobbins: Lines up AFC West visit
    13h 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.

  • Erik Swanson TOR RP
    Blue Jays' Erik Swanson: Goes on IL
    11m ago

    The Blue Jays placed Swanson (forearm) on the 15-day injured list.

    Though he's beginning the season on the IL, Swanson isn't expected to be facing a long-term absence while he recovers from right forearm inflammation. With Swanson joining closer Jordan Romano (elbow) on the IL, the Blue Jays are expected to turn to Yimi Garcia, Chad Green and Tim Mayza to handle most of the higher-leverage innings early in the season.

  • Alek Manoah TOR SP
    Blue Jays' Alek Manoah: Moves to IL
    17m ago

    The Blue Jays placed Manoah (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list Thursday.

    Manoah is opening the season on the IL while he recovers from right shoulder inflammation, which kept him from pitching in the Grapefruit League after he made his spring debut Feb. 27. He was able to throw a two-inning, 34-pitch simulated game Wednesday, so his next step could be heading out on a minor-league rehab assignment. Manoah will likely require multiple starts in the minors to get fully stretched out before the Blue Jays consider activating him from the IL and including in the rotation.

    Blue Jays' Danny Jansen: Lands on IL
    20m ago

    The Blue Jays placed Jansen (wrist) on the 10-day injured list Thursday.

    With Jansen on the shelf to begin the season, Alejandro Kirk will take over as the Blue Jays' clear No. 1 catcher, while Brian Serven was added to the 40-man roster and will serve as Kirk's understudy. Jansen sustained a small fracture in his right wrist March 15 but could soon resume baseball activities, at which point a clearer target date for his season debut might come into focus.

    Cubs' Justin Steele: Suffers apparent hamstring injury
    39m ago

    Steele exited Thursday's game against the Rangers with an apparent injury to his left hamstring, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.

    Steele moved quickly off the mound to field a bunt and suffered the injury in the process. He pitched very well prior to his exit, allowing only three hits and one earned run to go along with a walk and six strikeouts across 4.2 innings. The extent of the issue is not currently clear.

    Pirates' Quinn Priester: Dispatched to Triple-A
    1h ago

    The Pirates optioned Priester to Triple-A Indianapolis.

    Priester missed out on a spot in the Pirates' season-opening rotation, with Pittsburgh settling on veterans Martin Perez, Marco Gonzales and Bailey Falter and rookie Jared Jones to fill out its starting ranks behind Opening Day starter Mitch Keller. The 23-year-old right-hander finished the spring with a 5.87 ERA and 13:3 K:BB over 15.1 innings.

  • Yasmani Grandal PIT C
    Pirates' Yasmani Grandal: Hits IL to begin season
    1h ago

    The Pirates placed Grandal (foot) on the 10-day injured list Thursday.

    Grandal hasn't yet resumed running since experiencing plantar fasciitis in his left foot earlier this month, but once he's able to do so, he should be ready to head out on a rehab assignment. Manager Derek Shelton suggested early in spring training that Grandal would begin camp atop the depth chart at catcher, but the skipper's comments came before the 35-year-old was slowed by the foot injury. With that in mind, Grandal may not be guaranteed the No. 1 catching gig once he's activated from the IL, especially if Henry Davis gets off to a hot start to the season.

    2h ago

    Vezenkov (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Mavericks.

    Vezenkov has been sidelined since early February, but he's trending in the right direction and is considered day-to-day. If he gets the green light, Vezenkov could work his way back into the rotation. On the season, the forward is averaging 12.6 minutes per game.

    Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Iffy for Friday
    2h ago

    Gobert is questionable for Friday's game versus Denver with a left rib sprain.

    Gobert has been able to play through his rib sprain in three straight games, playing at least 34 minutes in all three. He's still considered day-to-day, however, so fantasy managers will want to monitor this situation closely.

    Celtics' Sam Hauser: Back to bench role Thursday
    3h ago

    Hauser is not in the starting lineup to face the Hawks on Thursday, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

    The Celtics will feature their regular starting unit of Jrue Holiday, Derrick White, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum and Kristaps Porzingis, so it's not surprising to see Hauser heading back to his regular bench role. Hauser is averaging 11.9 points per game while shooting 47.8 percent from three-point range since the beginning of March.

    Minnesota transferred Clark (Achilles) to the G League's Iowa Wolves on Thursday.

    Clark was a second-round pick by the Timberwolves but has yet to play this season while recovering from an Achilles surgery he underwent during his final collegiate season at UCLA in 2022-23. It's unclear if he'll be cleared to play before the end of his rookie campaign, but it's encouraging to see the youngster ramping up in the G League.

    Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Starting in Seattle

    Dostal will guard the road goal versus the Kraken on Thursday, Allyson Ballard of Davy Jones' Locker Room reports.

    Dostal will get the second game of the Ducks' two-game set in Seattle. John Gibson was on the receiving end of a 4-0 shutout loss on Tuesday. Dostal is just 1-3-1 over his last six appearances with 16 goals allowed on 138 shots in that span, though the Kraken's offense is hardly a threatening one.

    Saros has won five outings in a row, stopping 121 of 130 shots in that span.

The 28-year-old has a favorable matchup on the docket Thursday against an inconsistent Coyotes team.
