Alijah Vera-Tucker NE GPatriots' Alijah Vera-Tucker: Remains on track for OTAs
20h agoVera-Tucker (triceps) is expected to take part in the Patriots' upcoming OTAs, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.
New England's OTAs are scheduled to begin in late May, and Vera-Tucker looks like he'll be ready to participate. The offensive guard missed all of last season due to a torn triceps and has played in only 43 regular-season contests (out of a possible 85) across his five NFL campaigns. Vera-Tucker signed a three-year contract with New England in early March and is "highly motivated" to prove himself following his injury struggles, per Daniels.

Deonte Banks NYG CBGiants' Deonte Banks: Doesn't get fifth-year option
20h agoThe Giants have declined Banks' fifth-year option, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
New York had high expectations for Banks when the team selected him in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft, but the Maryland product has largely disappointed. Banks has managed to stay mostly healthy during his first three NFL campaigns, playing in 45 of a possible 51 regular-season games, but after starting every contest in which he participated from 2023-24, he logged just six starts over 16 contests last year. Banks appears set to compete for playing time with second-round pick Colton Hood and free-agent acquisition Greg Newsome during the upcoming season.

Lance Mason 2005 TESeahawks' Lance Mason: Secures deal with Seattle
21h agoMason signed with the Seahawks as an undrafted free agent Friday.
Mason is coming off a senior season with Wisconsin during which he caught 30 passes for 398 yards and four touchdowns. Prior to that, he spent his first three campaigns at Missouri State. Mason is 6-foot-3 with reliable hands, but he isn't particularly quick or agile. Seattle's tight-end corps is led by AJ Barner and Elijah Arroyo, and Mason may be headed for a spot on the practice squad.
-
Jaydn Ott 2005 RBChiefs' Jaydn Ott: Headed to Kansas City
23h agoThe Chiefs signed Ott as an undrafted free agent Friday.
Ott played three years at California before transferring to Oklahoma for his senior season. The running back suffered a shoulder issue entering the 2025 season that led to him seeing meaningful snaps in only two games. The Chiefs are likely taking a flyer on Ott due to his 2023 season at California, where he rushed 245 times for 1,305 yards and 12 touchdowns and added 26 receptions for 321 yards and three touchdowns. Ott's standout sophomore campaign suggests he has a shot to be a meaningful producer at the NFL level if he can avoid the injury bug.

Omari Evans WASH WRChiefs' Omari Evans: Signs with Kansas City
1d agoThe Chiefs signed Evans as an undrafted free agent Friday.
Evans played at Penn State for three years before ending his collegiate career as a Washington Husky in 2025. The wide receiver had a down year in 2025, playing in 11 games and collecting 17 receptions for 254 yards and one touchdown. His best college season was in 2024, producing 415 yards and five touchdown grabs on just 21 receptions. Evans will have to compete with many other options in training camp as the Chiefs look to refortify their wide-receiver room ahead of the 2026 season.

Anthony Richardson IND QBColts' Anthony Richardson: Doesn't receive fifth-year option
1d agoThe Colts didn't exercise the fifth-year option on Richardson's (eye) rookie contract, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
A first-round pick of the 2023 NFL Draft, fourth overall, Richardson has dealt with injuries and inconsistency during his three-year career, and after losing out in the QB competition with Daniel Jones (Achilles) last August, the former eventually suffered an orbital fracture in pregame warmups ahead of Week 6 action and missed the rest of the 2025 campaign. Richardson then put in a trade request with Indianapolis in February and is skipping the early portion of the offseason program. Considering where he stands with the organization, it's no surprise the Colts opted not to commit roughly $22.5 million in Richardson for the 2027 season. Whether or not he ends up elsewhere in the coming weeks or months remains to be seen, but as GM Chris Ballard told Stephen Holder of ESPN.com at the annual league meeting in late March, a scenario "definitely" exists for Richardson to stay with the only pro team he's ever known.

Brandon Nimmo TEX CFRangers' Brandon Nimmo: Taking seat Saturday
10m agoNimmo (hamstring) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers.
Nimmo was taken out of Friday's game due to a nagging hamstring issue that flared up in the fourth inning. The Rangers will hold him out of action Saturday as a precaution and give Ezequiel Duran a start in right field.
-
Tyler Locklear ARI 3BDiamondbacks' Tyler Locklear: Embarking on rehab assignment
22m agoThe Diamondbacks assigned Locklear (elbow) to a rehab assignment in the Arizona Complex League on Saturday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Locklear underwent surgery in October to repair the labrum in his left shoulder and a torn ligament in his left elbow. He opened the season on the 10-day injured list, and he has progressed enough in his recovery to start a rehab assignment. Once Locklear gets some reps in the ACL, the Diamondbacks should have a better sense of when the 25-year-old will be ready to return to the majors. He appeared in 31 games for the Diamondbacks in 2025 and slashed .175/.267/.262 with three steals, three home runs and six RBI over 116 plate appearances.
-
Kenley Jansen DET RPTigers' Kenley Jansen: Dealing with groin soreness
32m agoManager A.J. Hinch said Saturday that Jansen has been day-to-day with right groin/abdomen soreness, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
Jansen has been dealing with the injury ever since his most recent appearance Wednesday in Atlanta, during which he conceded two earned runs and failed to record an out. He doesn't seem to be trending toward a trip to the injured list at the moment, though that could change if he doesn't return within the next few days.
-
Justin Crawford PHI CFPhillies' Justin Crawford: Scratched from Saturday's lineup
33m agoCrawford was scratched from the Phillies' lineup against the Marlins on Saturday due to a migraine, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Crawford was initially slated to start in center field Saturday, but the Phillies will instead go with Garrett Stubbs, Adolis Garcia and Felix Reyes from left to right. Crawford will aim to return for Sunday's matinee.
-
Yoniel Curet PHI SPTigers' Yoniel Curet: Designated for assignment
37m agoThe Tigers designated Curet for assignment Saturday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
Curet has made just one appearance at Triple-A this season, during which he allowed three runs (one earned) while walking three batters and striking out one in two-thirds of an inning. He'll end up as the roster casualty necessary to make room for Ricky Vanasco, who was selected to the big-league squad Saturday.
-
Ricky Vanasco DET RPTigers' Ricky Vanasco: Contract selected
39m agoThe Tigers selected Vanasco's contract from Triple-A Toledo on Saturday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
After posting a 0.00 ERA and 0.80 WHIP to go with his 28:4 K:BB through 15 innings in Triple-A, Vanasco will return to the majors for the first time since 2024 to replace the injured Will Vest (forearm). Although Vanasco has been dominant in the minors up to this point, he'll likely settle in as a middle reliever with Detroit.

Tari Eason HOU PFRockets' Tari Eason: Struggles with shot in Game 6
13m agoEason contributed 14 points (5-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals across 37 minutes during Friday's 98-78 loss to the Lakers in Game 6 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Eason had trouble finding the bottom of the net in Game 6, although, to be fair, it was a common theme for the other members of the starting lineup as well. With Houston eliminated from postseason play, the 24-year-old will now turn his attention toward restricted free agency. Eason averaged 10.5 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.5 blocks and 1.2 steals across 25.8 minutes per game during the 2025-26 campaign. However, he logged only 60 games. With 139 appearances combined in the last three seasons, Eason will need to prove he can stay healthy. While the 2022 No. 17 overall pick should continue to hold a stable role in the rotation with the Rockets, assuming he re-signs, the lack of consistency is something fantasy managers will need to consider moving ahead.
-
Jabari Smith HOU PFRockets' Jabari Smith: Struggles offensively in Game 6
1h agoSmith totaled nine points (3-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one block in 42 minutes during Friday's 98-78 loss to the Lakers in Game 6 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Smith finished with 22 points in Game 5. However, the 22-year-old had trouble getting anything going Friday night and was unable to help his team force a Game 7. Overall, Smith had a productive season, averaging a career-best 15.8 points with 6.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.9 blocks and 0.7 steals while shooting 44.9 percent from the field and 36.3 percent from deep across 35.1 minutes per contest. He also appeared in 77 games, his second-highest mark since entering the league in 2022. Smith, who agreed to a five-year, $122 million extension in Oct. 2025, will likely continue to hold a stable role as a starter for the Rockets moving ahead. Although he isn't the most consistent offensively, his durability and defensive prowess should continue to benefit the team during the 2026-27 campaign and beyond, assuming he remains on the roster.

Jonathan Isaac ORL PFMagic's Jonathan Isaac: Not expected to play Sunday
1h agoIsaac (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's Game 7 of the Eastern Conference first-round series against Detroit.
Isaac has appeared in only one game in the last two months, so the doubtful designation is hardly a surprise. If the 28-year-old manages to return for Sunday's contest, he may not see any action. If anything, Isaac might only be used sporadically throughout the contest for situational purposes.
-
Kevin Huerter DET SGPistons' Kevin Huerter: Questionable for Game 7
1h agoHuerter (Adductor) is listed as questionable for Game 7 of the Eastern Conference first-round series against Orlando.
Huerter played sporadically during the first four contests of this series before being ruled out altogether for Games 5 and 6. If Huerter misses a third consecutive game, Daniss Jenkins and Javonte Green could see additional action, although head coach J.B. Bickerstaff might continue to rely on the starters to absorb most of the minutes.
-
Franz Wagner ORL PFMagic's Franz Wagner: Won't play Game 7
1h agoWagner (calf) has been ruled out for Game 7 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs Sunday against the Pistons, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Wagner will end up missing the final three games of the series while tending to a right calf strain. Even if the Magic were to emerge victorious and move onto the Semifinals, there's no guarantee that Wagner would be available for the start of that series. Anthony Black and Jamal Cain will continue to work in extended roles in Wagner's absence.
-
Ayo Dosunmu MIN PGTimberwolves' Ayo Dosunmu: Considered day-to-day
2h agoHead coach Chris Finch told reporters Saturday that Dosunmu is considered "day-to-day" due to his right calf injury, Jace Frederick of St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Dosunmu's calf injury prevented him from playing in the Timberwolves' Game 6 victory against the Nuggets on Thursday. Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Spurs kicks off Monday, and Dosunmu could join Donte DiVincenzo (Achilles) and Anthony Edwards (knee) on the sidelines for that contest. If Dosunmu is not cleared to play, then Terrence Shannon, Bones Hyland and Jaylen Clark would be in line for expanded roles alongside Mike Conley and Jaden McDaniels.

Josh Manson COL DAvalanche's Josh Manson: Practices Saturday
36m agoManson (upper body) took part in Saturday's practice and is day-to-day, per Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette.
Manson's status for Game 1 against Minnesota on Sunday hasn't been determined. He missed Game 4 on April 26 of Colorado's first-round series versus the Kings due to the injury. The 34-year-old had five goals, 31 points, 91 PIM and 174 hits in 79 regular-season appearances in 2025-26.
-
Joel Kiviranta COL LWAvalanche's Joel Kiviranta: Dealing with injury
37m agoKiviranta (undisclosed) is day-to-day, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports Saturday.
Kiviranta missed the final two games of Colorado's first-round series win over the Kings. He hasn't been practicing, and it's unclear if he will be an option for Game 1 of Round 2 against Minnesota on Sunday. Kiviranta hasn't earned a point in two appearances this postseason while chipping in three shots on goal and five hits.
-
Charlie McAvoy BOS DBruins' Charlie McAvoy: Offered in-person hearing
1h agoThe NHL Department of Player Safety announced Saturday that McAvoy was offered an in-person hearing for slashing Buffalo's Zach Benson on Friday.
McAvoy could begin the 2026-27 campaign with a suspension of six or more games because of the incident. He produced 11 goals, 61 points, 111 shots on net, 129 blocked shots and 79 hits across 69 regular-season appearances in 2025-26. He also had two assists, 13 shots on goal, 13 blocked shots and 16 hits in six 2026 playoff outings during Boston's first-round series loss to the Sabres.
-
Radko Gudas ANA DDucks' Radko Gudas: Making progress towards return
2h agoGudas (lower body) skated on his own Saturday, and the Ducks hope to have him back at some point during their second-round series against Vegas, per Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune.
Gudas hasn't been in the lineup since April 20 due to the injury. He had two goals, 13 points, 67 PIM and 164 hits in 56 regular-season outings. Based on the framing of Gudas' return as being possible at some point during the series, it seems him playing in Game 1 isn't expected. When Gudas is available, Tyson Hinds might be the blueliner to exit the lineup.
-
Rasmus Dahlin BUF DSabres' Rasmus Dahlin: Produces two helpers in win
3h agoDahlin logged two assists, five shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 4-1 win over the Bruins in Game 6.
Dahlin set up Alex Tuch on the opening tally and Josh Norris on the empty-netter to put the Sabres through to the second round. Over six games in the first round, Dahlin earned a goal, three assists, 21 shots on net, 10 hits, six blocked shots, six PIM and a plus-3 rating. The 26-year-old defenseman will continue to lead the Sabres' blue line and should offer well-rounded production for fantasy purposes.
-
Tage Thompson BUF CSabres' Tage Thompson: Deals two helpers in win
3h agoThompson logged two assists, five shots on goal, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 4-1 win over the Bruins in Game 6.
Thompson had the secondary helper on both of the Sabres' first-period goals, which ended up being the difference in this series-clinching win. The 28-year-old contributed two goals, five assists, 26 shots on net, 10 hits, six blocked shots, 18 PIM and a plus-7 rating over six outings in his first playoff series. Thompson can score more, but he'll look to remain effective and productive in a top-line role as the Sabres turn their sights to the second round against either the Canadiens or the Lightning.
