Jayden Reed Now Dealing With Calf Injury

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (calf) was held out of training camp practice on Wednesday due to a calf injury.

Rondale Moore Carted Off With Leg Injury

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Rondale Moore (leg) was carted off during training camp practice on Wednesday, and doctors put an air cast on his right leg, which is never a good sign.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs (ankle) suffered a high-ankle sprain during training camp practice on Wednesday, according to a source.

Adbert Alzolay To Have Tommy John Surgery

Chicago Cubs right-handed reliever Adbert Alzolay (elbow) is set to undergo Tommy John surgery, according to manager Craig Counsell.

Oneil Cruz Under The Weather

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Oneil Cruz (illness) was sick and unavailable to play in the series-opening loss to the visiting San Diego Padres on Tuesday, according to manager Derek Shelton.

Cody Bellinger Resting On Wednesday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Cody Bellinger is not in the team's starting lineup on Wednesday versus the visiting Minnesota Twins. It appears to be just a normal day off for Bellinger, who has operated as the designated hitter in all eight games since returning from fractured middle finger on his left hand that kept him sidelined […]

Royce Lewis Resting At Wrigley

Minnesota Twins third baseman Royce Lewis is getting the day off at Wrigley Field against the hosting Chicago Cubs.

Lewis […]

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (back) remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field.

On their first unofficial depth chart released in the preseason, the Indianapolis Colts listed rookie wide receiver Adonai Mitchell and Alec Pierce as co-starters at the No. 3 wideout position behind Michael Pittman Jr. and Josh Downs.

Noah Fant Injured On Tuesday

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (foot) didn't finish training camp practice on Tuesday and left midway through with some sort of foot injury. Head coach Mike Macdonald didn't give any injury updates after practice, so it's unclear how severe Fant's foot injury actually is. For now, we'll consider him day-to-day. Re-signed in the offseason, […]

Jaxon Smith-Njigba The X-Factor On Offense For Seahawks

The Seattle Times' Mike Vorel writes that Seattle Seahawks second-year wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba is the team's X-factor on offense in 2024.

Russell Wilson Returns To Practice Tuesday

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson (calf) returned to a full practice at training camp on Tuesday after being sidelined with a minor calf injury for over a week.

Luis Garcia Still Not Throwing

Houston Astros manager Joe Espada said on Tuesday that right-hander Luis Garcia (elbow) still isn't throwing.

The fact […]

Kyle Tucker Doing "Limited Baseball Activity"

Houston Astros general manager Dana Brown said that outfielder Kyle Tucker (shin) is doing "limited baseball activity" and is "coming along really well."
