Cincinnati Bengals first-round offensive tackle Jonah Williams is "dinged up" and isn't participating in minicamp, according to head coach Zac Taylor.

Miles Sanders Won't Practice At Minicamp
Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders (hamstring) will not practice at minicamp this week. Sanders hasn't practiced at all during the team's spring activities, which is notable for a rookie.

Andrew Luck Won't Practice At Minicamp
Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich said that quarterback Andrew Luck (calf) will not practice this week at minicamp. Luck's calf injury isn't believed to be very serious, but the Colts will give him extended time to heal before he's a full-go in training camp. Most fantasy owners didn't want to take on the risk […]

It’s still early in the process, but we don’t think so," head coach Sean McDermott said. The 25-year-old Foster had 27 catches for 541 yards and three touchdowns in 13 games last year and finished the season […]
Eagles Sticking With Committee Approach In Backfield
Philadelphia Eagles running backs coach Duce Staley said the team will continue to function with a running-back-by-committee approach.

Giants Not Ruling Out Daniel Jones For Week 1
New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur isn't ruling out the possibility that rookie quarterback Daniel Jones is the starter in Week 1, but he also said that Eli Manning is getting ready to have a great year. Most draft analysts thought the Giants reached for Jones in the first round, but they were desperate […]
Darius Slayton Gets Work With First-Team Offense
New York Giants rookie wide receiver Darius Slayton got a few repetitions with the first-team offense at minicamp on Tuesday. Behind Golden Tate and Sterling Shepard, Corey Coleman, Cody Latimer, Bennie Fowler and Slayton should compete for the No. 3 job in training camp. For now, Slayton is just one to watch for the rest […]
Evan Engram Dealing With Hamstring Injury
New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said tight end Evan Engram (hamstring) is recovering from a hamstring injury. The team has held Engram out of offseason work so far as a precaution, but he's expected to be ready to go for training camp. Engram took a step back in his second season in 2018 […]
A.J. Green To Take Part In Individual Drills
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green (toe) will take part in individual drills with the receivers and quarterbacks at this week's minicamp.

Jonathan Loaisiga Throws On Flat Ground
New York Yankees starting pitcher Jonathan Loaisiga (shoulder) resumed throwing on flat ground on Tuesday and made 50 tosses from 60 feet.

Luis Severino Throws Tuesday
New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino (shoulder) was tossing from 60 feet on Tuesday. Severino has yet to pitch in 2019 and won't return to the Yankees rotation until after the All-Star break. But the 25-year-old should be stashed in all formats after he went 19-8 with a 3.39 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 10.3 […]
Matt Kemp On Minor League Injured List
New York Mets outfielder Matt Kemp (rib) is on the minor league injured list after experiencing "lingering effects" from his broken rib from his stint with the Reds this year.

Andres Gimenez Dodges A Bullet
New York Mets shortstop Andres Gimenez (hand), the team's top prospect, avoided the worst after X-rays came back negative after he was hit on the hand/wrist with a pitch last week.

Gleyber Torres Out In First Game Tuesday
New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres is not in the starting lineup for the first game of a doubleheader on Tuesday. Torres should be back in the lineup for the nightcap, but the bottom line is that he'll be benched more frequently now that Didi Gregorius is back with the club. DJ LeMahieu is at […]
Wilson Ramos Won't Start Game 1
New York Mets catcher Wilson Ramos is not starting in Game 1 of a doubleheader on Tuesday. Tomas Nido will handle the catching duties and will bat eighth against Yankees starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka.

Robbie Gould Won't Be At Minicamp
San Francisco 49ers kicker Robbie Gould has yet to sign his franchise tag and will not be at this week's mandatory minicamp.

Jaron Brown Bulks Up
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaron Brown is fighting for a role in three-wide sets in his second year in Seattle now that Doug Baldwin has retired.

Kyle Rudolph Agrees To Four-Year Extension
The Minnesota Vikings agreed with tight end Kyle Rudolph on a four-year, $36 million contract extension on Monday, according to a source.

Yannick Ngakoue Not Attending Minicamp
Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Yannick Ngakoue said he will not be attending mandatory minicamp this week. "I will not be attending minicamp as my contract has not been resolved.

DeSean Jackson A Leading Candidate To Return Punts
Philadelphia Eagles special teams coordinator Dave Fipp said that wide receiver DeSean Jackson is a top candidate to return punts in 2019. Jackson is returning to the team that he spent the first six seasons of his career. The 32-year-old is still very quick and elusive as a deep threat -- he averaged 18.9 yards […]
