Alvin Kamara NO RBSaints' Alvin Kamara: Preparing for 2026 campaign
13m agoKamara (knee/ankle) was not at the Saints' OTAs on Wednesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Kamara is still working out with his trainers daily in preparation for the 2026 season, though his future with the Saints remains in question. The running back missed the final six contests of the 2025 campaign while nursing both an MCL sprain and an ankle issue, and it's unclear if he's back to full health yet. Kamara recorded a career-low 471 rushing yards and one touchdown on 131 carries while also reeling in 33 of 39 targets for 186 yards over 11 regular-season games this past year. With the Saints signing Travis Etienne to a four-year, $48 million contract in March, Kamara would likely operate as the No. 2 option in the backfield with New Orleans this season, if he sticks around.

DeCarlos Nicholson USC CBBrowns' DeCarlos Nicholson: Reverts to Browns' IR
1h agoNicholson (undisclosed) reverted from waivers to the Browns' injured reserve list Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
It's not immediately clear what kind of injury Nicholson is working through, but he's now on track to spend the entire 2026 season on IR unless he's able to negotiate an injury settlement with the team. For now, his absence could free up additional opportunities for fellow rookie undrafted free agent cornerbacks Nate Evans and Michael Coats.

Quinn Ewers MIA QBDolphins' Quinn Ewers: No limitations during OTAs
1h agoEwers (knee) was participating fully in 7-on-7 drills during OTAs, Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald reports.
Per Kelly, Ewers was performing well, connecting with tight end Ben Sims and rookie undrafted free agent wide receiver Donaven McCulley. As the offseason progresses, Ewers will continue to compete for the Dolphins' backup spot with 2025 sixth-rounder Cam Miller and rookie undrafted free agent Mark Gronowski.

Nnamdi Madubuike BAL DTRavens' Nnamdi Madubuike: Progressing in rehab from surgery
2h agoCoach Jesse Minter said Wednesday that Madubuike is "trending in a great direction" as he rehabs from the surgery he underwent in April to address a lingering neck injury, NFL.com reports.
Minter said that Madubuike was even participating in a limited fashion during the Ravens' offseason program, but there is still not a timeline for his full return to the practice field. Until he's fully healthy again, veteran free agent acquisition Calais Campbell and 2025 sixth-rounder Aeneas Peebles could get more reps with the first team on the defensive line.
-
Teddye Buchanan BAL LBRavens' Teddye Buchanan: ACL recovery going well
2h agoCoach Jesse Minter said Wednesday that Buchanan is ahead of schedule in his recovery from the torn ACL he suffered in December, NFL.com reports.
While Buchanan's rehab seems to be progressing nicely so far, he's still less than six months out from the ACL tear he sustained in Week 15 of his rookie season, and there's still no timetable for his return to team activities. Until he's back to full strength, Trenton Simpson will be a candidate for increased reps at inside linebacker next to three-time All-Pro Roquan Smith.
-
Justin Walley IND CBColts' Justin Walley: Back from ACL injrury
3h agoWalley (knee) told reporters Wednesday that he's been fully cleared to return, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Walley, a 2025 third-round pick from Minnesota, has now fully recovered from an ACL tear that sidelined him for the entirety of his rookie season. With Kenny Moore's release from the Colts in early May, Walley expected to compete for a starting secondary role as the offseason progresses.

Kyle Tucker LAD RFDodgers' Kyle Tucker: Getting breather Wednesday
5m agoTucker isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against Colorado.
Tucker has started each of the Dodgers' last nine games and slashed .229/.325/.400 with six RBI, six runs and a steal in that stretch. He'll get a chance to rest his legs Wednesday while Alex Call starts in right field, batting eighth.
-
Max Muncy LAD 3BDodgers' Max Muncy: Back in starting nine
8m agoMuncy (wrist) will start at third base and bat fifth Wednesday against the Rockies.
Muncy missed four straight starts after taking a pitch off his wrist Friday, but he entered Tuesday's contest in the ninth inning as a defensive replacement, and he's now officially been cleared to return to the starting lineup. The veteran third baseman had started eight consecutive games before getting injured and went 5-for-27 (.185) with a homer, two RBI and nine runs scored in that span.
-
Alex Freeland LAD 2BDodgers' Alex Freeland: Recalled from OKC
16m agoThe Dodgers recalled Freeland from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.
Freeland will return to Los Angeles to replace Enrique Hernandez, who is set to miss several weeks due to a severe left oblique strain. Freeland is expected to split reps at second base with Hyeseong Kim, though manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that the former has earned a bit more runway and will therefore receive the lion's share of opportunities, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic.
-
Enrique Hernandez LAD 3BDodgers' Enrique Hernandez: Officially placed on IL
20m agoThe Dodgers placed Hernandez on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a left oblique strain.
Hernandez doesn't have a return timeline just yet but is likely facing another extended stay on the IL, as manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that the veteran utility man suffered a "significant tear" in his oblique. Alex Freeland was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move and is expected to start at second base more often than Hyeseong Kim while both players are with the big club.

Rob Refsnyder SEA RFMariners' Rob Refsnyder: Launches third homer
1h agoRefsnyder went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer in Wednesday's 9-1 win over the A's.
Refsnyder put the Mariners ahead early with a two-out, three-run blast off Jeffrey Springs in the first inning, his third homer this year. Refsnyder has logged hits in back-to-back games on the heels of a 1-for-27 slump that spanned his previous 13 contests. Overall, the veteran outfielder is slashing .122/.200/.243 with eight RBI and seven runs scored across 85 plate appearances while manning the short side of a platoon with Luke Raley and Dominic Canzone.
-
Casey Mize DET SPTigers' Casey Mize: Exits with trainer
1h agoMize was removed from Wednesday's game against the Angels with right groin tightness.
Mize made it through four shutout innings Wednesday, striking out six batters while allowing just two hits and a walk. However, he was seen heading back into the clubhouse with a trainer and didn't come back out for the fifth. The severity of the 29-year-old's injury remains unknown, but the Tigers could have an update on his status in the near future.

Jalen Williams OKC SFThunder's Jalen Williams: Questionable for Game 6
3h agoWilliams (hamstring) is questionable for Thursday's Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals against the Spurs.
After getting injured in Game 2, Williams is in jeopardy of missing a fourth consecutive contest due to left hamstring strain management. With Ajay Mitchell (calf) already ruled out for Game 6, Jared McCain, Alex Caruso and Cason Wallace could all be needed to handle significant playing time Thursday.
-
Ajay Mitchell OKC PGThunder's Ajay Mitchell: Ruled out for Game 6
3h agoMitchell (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals against the Spurs.
Mitchell is set to miss a third consecutive contest with a right calf strain. If the Thunder fall to the Spurs on Thursday, his next chance to play would come Saturday in Game 7 of the series. The likes of Jared McCain, Alex Caruso and Cason Wallace are all candidates to step up for Oklahoma City in Game 6.

Alex Caruso OKC PGThunder's Alex Caruso: Strikes for 22 in Tuesday's win
11h agoCaruso closed with 22 points (5-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 8-8 FT), two rebounds, six assists and three steals over 28 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 127-114 win over the Spurs in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals.
The veteran forward was the only member of the OKC bench to score more than eight points, and Caruso was second in scoring on the team behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's game-high 32 points. It was an impressive bounce-back effort from Caruso after he was held scoreless in Game 4. During the WCF, he's averaging 17.0 points, 3.6 threes, 2.8 assists, 2.4 boards, 1.6 steals and 1.0 blocks in just 24.6 minutes while shooting a blistering 56.8 percent from the floor and 58.1 percent from beyond the arc.
-
Isaiah Hartenstein OKC CThunder's Isaiah Hartenstein: Double-double in Game 5 win
11h agoHartenstein finished Tuesday's 127-114 victory over San Antonio in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals with 12 points (6-8 FG), 15 rebounds, four assists and one block across 31 minutes.
The 28-year-old center grabbed his highest rebounding total of the playoffs as he recorded his second double-double of the series and third of the postseason in 13 games. After a rough Game 1, Hartenstein has bounced back to average 9.8 points, 10.8 boards and 3.5 assists in 24.3 minutes over the last four games against the Spurs.
-
Chet Holmgren OKC PFThunder's Chet Holmgren: Grabs first double-double of WCF
11h agoHolmgren posted 16 points (6-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 30 minutes during Tuesday's 127-114 victory over San Antonio in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals.
The 24-year-old center produced his first double-double of the series while setting a new scoring high for the WCF. He's gaining confidence in his matchup against Victor Wembanyama, and through five games against the Spurs, Holmgren is averaging 12.2 points, 7.0 boards, 1.2 assists and 0.8 blocks in 30.4 minutes while shooting 51.2 percent from the floor. Holmgren will look to build on this effort in Game 6 on Thursday as the Thunder try to punch their tickets to the NBA Finals.
-
Jared McCain OKC SGThunder's Jared McCain: Hits for 20 in Game 5 start
11h agoMcCain closed Tuesday's 127-114 victory over the Spurs in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals with 20 points (7-19 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-5 FT) and three rebounds over 33 minutes.
Making his first start since the first game of the first round against the Suns on April 12, McCain provided strong secondary scoring for the Thunder. The second-year guard has played at least 24 minutes in four straight games, taking advantage of the absence of Jalen Williams (hamstring). Over that stretch, McCain is averaging 15.0 points, 3.8 boards, 2.0 threes and 1.0 assists, although he's shooting just 34.4 percent from the floor. Williams still lacks a clear return timeline, so McCain could see an elevated role again in Game 6 on Thursday.
-
Jakub Dobes MON GCanadiens' Jakub Dobes: Looking to even series
2h agoDobes will guard the home goal versus the Hurricanes in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Wednesday, Eric Engels of Sportsnet reports.
Dobes is looking to bounce back after consecutive overtime losses in Games 2 and 3. He's still allowed just eight goals on 93 shots over the first three games of the series, but Dobes hasn't gotten consistent support from his teammates. As long as the 25-year-old continues to play well, the crease should remain in his possession.
-
Frederik Andersen CAR GHurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Set to start Wednesday
6h agoAndersen is expected to get the starting nod on the road against the Canadiens in Game 4 on Wednesday.
Andersen has suffered just one loss in the postseason, recording a 10-1 record and 1.56 GAA in his last 11 outings, though that defeat did come at the hands of the Habs in Game 1. Despite sharing the workload during the regular season, Andersen appeared in just 35 contests this year, he's cemented himself as the Canes' No. 1 in the playoffs.
-
Gabriel Landeskog COL LWAvalanche's Gabriel Landeskog: Tallies late in loss
20h agoLandeskog scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM and doled out three hits in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals.
Landeskog scored in three of four games in this series, accounting for nearly half of the Avalanche's seven goals. The captain's efforts weren't enough as his team went down in a sweep. He put up a total of six goals, five assists, 37 shots on net, 40 hits, 14 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 13 outings this postseason.
-
MacKenzie Blackwood COL GAvalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Can't save season
20h agoBlackwood stopped 24 of 26 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals.
Blackwood put in a good performance, but the Avalanche's offense didn't give enough support in the season-ending loss. Blackwood ended up allowing eight goals on 73 shots over four playoff outings while most often playing second fiddle to Scott Wedgewood. Both goalies are under contract for next year, which may lead to a tandem approach in the Colorado crease once again if they play at a level similar to the one they displayed in 2025-26.
-
Cole Smith LV LWGolden Knights' Cole Smith: Pots decisive goal Tuesday
20h agoSmith scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM and logged three hits in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals.
Smith's goal at 14:15 of the third period was an important one. It put the Golden Knights ahead 2-0, and it ended up being needed insurance when Gabriel Landeskog scored a few minutes later. The tally ended a nine-game point drought for Smith, who has managed to stay in the lineup despite a recent string of penalties. The 30-year-old winger has three goals, two assists, 10 shots on net, 66 hits, 22 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 16 playoff contests in a fourth-line role.
-
Mark Stone LV RWGolden Knights' Mark Stone: Opens scoring in Game 4 win
20h agoStone scored a goal on two shots and added three hits in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals.
Stone opened the scoring at 4:42 of the first period after receiving an excellent pass from Brayden McNabb. The 34-year-old Stone has three points over his last two games, with his return helping the Golden Knights complete their sweep over the Avalanche. Stone will likely benefit from the rest ahead of the Stanley Cup Finals -- he is managing a lower-body issue that has seen him limited to the third line. He's earned five goals, five assists, 23 shots on net, 19 hits and a minus-1 rating over 11 playoff outings.
