Jordan Reed Had Surgery On Toes

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said tight end Jordan Reed (toes) had a "procedure done on his toes... hopefully we'll see a 100 percent healthy Jordan by training camp."

Atlanta Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff said the team is close to agreeing to a contract extension with franchise quarterback Matt Ryan.

Free-agent wide receiver Eric Decker said he "definitely would be very receptive in coming back to Denver" to play for the Broncos, where he played from 2010 to 2013 to begin his career.

Carlos Correa Day-To-Day

Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa (toe) is being listed as day-to-day by manager A.J. Hinch after he was removed from the game early on Tuesday.

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll praised new tight end Ed Dickson's ability downfield as a pass catcher, even though Dickson has notoriously been known more for his blocking skills in his NFL career.

Lamar Jackson's Draft Stock On The Rise

Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson's draft stock appears to be on the rise, and it's now hard to imagine him falling out of the first round, according to Yahoo Sports' Jordan Schultz.

Jordan Taylor Expected To Miss Bulk Of Offseason Work

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jordan Taylor (hip) is expected to miss most of the team's offseason workouts after having hip surgery.

Ravens Work Out Michael Floyd

The Baltimore Ravens worked out free-agent wide receiver Michael Floyd, according to a source.

Several off-field incidents haven't helped his cause, and he totaled just 10 catches for […]
