C.J. Beathard Could Miss Thursday's Game
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said quarterback C.J. Beathard (wrist) is struggling to hold the ball and could be forced to miss the game on Thursday against the Raiders. Beathard would likely be fine to play on Sunday, but he'll be a question mark on the short week. Beathard has been pretty mediocre […]
Rams Acquiring Dante Fowler
The Los Angeles Rams acquired defensive end Dante Fowler from the Jaguars on Tuesday, according to a source. Fowler was the third overall pick in the 2015 draft, but he's been mostly a bust for the Jags and has become a rotational pass-rusher. The Rams have more of a need for him, however, and Fowler […]

The Detroit Lions restructured wide receiver Marvin Jones' contract on Tuesday, saving them $2.2 million against the salary cap, according to sources.

Terrelle Pryor To Sign With Bills
Free-agent wide receiver Terrelle Pryor is traveling to Buffalo with intentions to sign with the Bills, according to a source.

Seahawks Release Brandon Marshall
The Seattle Seahawks released veteran wide receiver Brandon Marshall on Tuesday, according to a source. Marshall entered the year as one of the team's better receivers with Doug Baldwin slowed by a knee injury, but he quickly faded when Baldwin returned, and David Moore's emergence has made Marshall expendable. Marshall had 11 catches on 23 […]
Texans Inquire About Phillip Dorsett
The Houston Texans have called about New England Patriots wide receiver Phillip Dorsett, but it doesn't sound like there has been much progress on a potential trade, according to a source.

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy is "highly unlikely" to be traded by the deadline on Tuesday, Oct. 30, according to a league source.

Red Sox Exercise Chris Sale's Option
The Boston Red Sox predictably exercised starting pitcher Chris Sale's $13.5 million option for the 2019 season on Tuesday. Sale was once again one of the best pitchers in all of baseball in 2018, although left shoulder issues slowed him considerably at the end of the year. The southpaw went 12-4 with a 2.11 ERA, […]

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green (foot) is in a walking boot as a precautionary measure and is expected to be fine when the team returns from their bye in Week 10, according to a source.

Eagles Trade For Golden Tate
The Philadelphia Eagles are trading for Detroit Lions wide receiver Golden Tate on Tuesday in exchange for a third-round pick, according to a source. Tate had been a WR2 for fantasy owners but hadn't topped 50 yards or scored since Sept. 30. The move will boost his fantasy value and put him back as more […]
Dante Fowler Attracting Serious Interest
Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Dante Fowler has been attracting serious interest as the Oct. 30 trade deadline approaches, according to sources.

The Houston Texans are finalizing a deal to acquire wide receiver Demaryius Thomas from the Denver Broncos in exchange for a mid-round pick, according to sources.

A.J. Green In Walking Boot
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green (foot) was wearing a boot on his injured right foot in the locker room on Tuesday, but it could just be precautionary.

Jamie Collins On Trade Block?
Cleveland Browns linebacker Jamie Collins could be on the trade block and the New England Patriots, who initially traded Collins to the Browns, have discussed bringing him back.

Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa (foot) said he is feeling much better, but he refuses to put a timetable on a potential return date. “(It’s) the first time that I’m really making some strides to get out on the field,” Bosa said. “It’s been a slow progression ever since I left.

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant (hamstring) is set to test his sore right hamstring on Thursday, according to head coach Dan Quinn. “I think it treated him well, the reason that I say that is that he’s making a turn for the better,” Quinn said of Bryant getting some rest over the bye week. “We […]
Demaryius Thomas More Likely To Be Traded
It's more likely than not that Denver Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas gets traded at this point, but it could depend on what happens with 49ers receiver Pierre Garcon, Lions wideout Golden Tate and Buccaneers receiver DeSean Jackson. The Eagles, Patriots, Colts, Texans and Titans are all in the market for a receiver. Thomas has […]

Astros To Extend Qualifying Offer To Dallas Keuchel
The Houston Astros are planning on extending a $17.9 million qualifying offer to starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel.

The southpaw doesn't miss a ton of bats, but he […]
Diamondbacks Exercise Paul Goldschmidt's Option
The Arizona Diamondbacks exercised first baseman Paul Goldschmidt's $14.5 million option for the 2019 season on Monday. Goldschmidt was uncharacteristically quiet in the first half this year but picked it up in the second half to finish with Goldschmidt-like numbers. The 31-year-old hit a solid .290/.389/.533 with 33 home runs, 83 RBI, 95 runs scored […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie running back Ronald Jones II (hamstring) is expected to miss a few weeks after straining his hamstring in the Week 8 loss to the Bengals.
