Malachi Corley NYJ WRJets' Malachi Corley: Not assured roster spot?
1d agoCorley (undisclosed), who missed mandatory minicamp while continuing to manage an undisclosed injury sustained during OTAs, isn't a lock to make the Jets' regular-season roster, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports.
Corley played just 83 offensive snaps (and eight snaps on special teams) across his nine regular-season appearances as a rookie, despite New York investing third-round draft capital by selecting him 65th overall. His most memorable moment in Year 1 came in the form of a fumble at the goal line during Week 9 that turned what would have been his first career touchdown into a touchback. New offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand acknowledged that the time Corley has missed during early installs means he's "going to have to find a way to catch himself up." Now fighting an uphill battle, it will be crucial for Corley to get healthy for Day 1 of training camp July 23. The Jets have a relatively open competition at wide receiver behind No. 1 option Garrett Wilson, with Josh Reynolds, Allen Lazard, Arian Smith, Tyler Johnson and Xavier Gipson representing Corley's competition for a spot on the 53-man roster.

Kevin Foelsch KC TEKevin Foelsch: Let go by KC
2d agoThe Chiefs waived Foelsch on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Foelsch signed with the Chiefs on June 11, but his tenure with the club didn't last long. Kansas City signed fellow tight end Geor'quarius Spivey on Thursday, which precipitated Foelsch's removal from the roster. Foelsch has spent time with the Panthers, Jets and Eagles but has yet to see action in a regular-season NFL game.

Jalen Ramsey MIA CBDolphins' Jalen Ramsey: Trade expected before training camp
2d agoThe Dolphins are expected to finalize a trade dealing Ramsey before training camp, and the cornerback's preferred destination would be a West Coast team such as the Rams or Chargers, Dante Collinelli of SI.com reports.
Ramsey and Miami appear united in a mutual desire to part ways, and it's unsurprising that interested teams would want the veteran cornerback present for the start of training camp. Both teams in Los Angeles would benefit from adding a proven starting boundary corner such as Ramsey, though Rams coach Sean McVay said Wednesday that "there would be some obstacles that are real that are in the place of maybe preventing that from occurring," though he said the team is "always open-minded to onboarding and acquiring quality players." The Steelers have also reportedly emerged as an interested party among the Dolphins' trade talks.

Chigoziem Okonkwo TEN TETitans' Chig Okonkwo: Displaying chemistry with Ward
2d agoOkonkwo caught the most passes of any player during Tennessee's five open practices of OTAs and mandatory minicamp, and he already appears to have developed a rapport with rookie quarterback Cam Ward, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Okonkwo's three seasons in the league thus far have been similar, as he's now started slow, finished strong, played all 17 regular-season games and floated around the 500-yard range each year since joining the Titans in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft. Tennessee added TE Gunnar Helm in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, but even with more competition for snaps there's reason for optimism that improved quarterback play from Ward, the No. 1 overall pick, will pave the way for Okonkwo's production to finally take a step forward. The 6-foot-3, 238-pound tight end lacks prototypical size but boasts rare speed and YAC ability for his position. Tennessee doesn't have an entrenched No. 2 option in the passing game behind top wideout Calvin Ridley, as Tyler Lockett, Treylon Burks (ACL) and Van Jefferson plus a pair of rookie fourth-rounders in Chimere Dikeand Elic Ayomanor close out the wide receiver room. If he continues building momentum during training camp, it's not inconceivable that Okonkwo could secure that role.

Xazavian Valladay NO RBXazavian Valladay: Cut loose by Saints
2d agoNew Orleans waived Valladay on Friday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Valladay hasn't logged a regular-season appearance since he suited up for one game with the Jets in 2023, playing no snaps on offense and 12 snaps on special teams. He spent time on New York's and New Orleans' practice squads last season and will now look for a new landing spot in the league.

Tyjae Spears TEN RBTitans' Tyjae Spears: Motivated for Year 3
2d agoTitans coach Brian Callahan said during mandatory minicamp that Spears has "had an unbelievable offseason" and that he's "really excited to see what he can bring to us this year because he's been in a great place," Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Spears has been a full participant at offseason activities after battling ankle and hamstring injuries in 2024, in addition to two concussions, the latter of which forced him to sit out Week 18. The 2023 third-round pick wrapped 2024 with just 312 yards and four touchdowns on 84 carries across 12 regular-season appearances, plus 31 catches for 226 yards and another score. Spears said he's motivated to "be as consistent as I can be" in 2025 and focusing on "doing more things toward being a better teammate." At full health, it wouldn't be inaccurate to call Spears one of the league's most elusive runners, so as long as he's able to stay on the field, he'll have a path to emerge as a meaningful playmaker alongside Tony Pollard. Callahan said in May that his plan for 2025 is to deploy a more even backfield split between Pollard and Spears that allows the two to "play a little more evenly," and the team seems a strong candidate to build its offense around the ground game in Cam Ward's rookie season.

Cal Quantrill MIA SPMarlins' Cal Quantrill: Penciled in to start Tuesday
6m agoQuantrill (hamstring) is scheduled to start Tuesday against the GIants, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.
The right-hander dealt with a cramp in his left hamstring during his previous start last Tuesday against the Phillies, but it won't affect his availability for the next turn through the rotation. Quantrill hasn't given up more than three earned runs in a start since April 30, and he has a 3.93 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 32:9 K:BB across 36.2 innings during that eight-start stretch.

Bryce Johnson SD CFPadres' Bryce Johnson: Set to lose work with Merrill back
15m agoJohnson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.
Johnson had started in three of the last four games for the Padres, but he'll likely be ticketed for a fourth- or fifth-outfielder role after San Diego welcomed Jackson Merrill (concussion) back from the 7-day injured list. Since being called up from Triple-A El Paso on Monday, Johnson has gone 4-for-9 with a double, a stolen base and a run.
-
Trenton Brooks SD DHPadres' Trenton Brooks: Heading to bench Sunday
17m agoBrooks is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.
Brooks had started at designated hitter in three of the Padres' last four matchups with right-handed pitchers and has gone 2-for-7 with a home run and two doubles in five games overall since being called up from Triple-A El Paso on June 15, but he's not yet locked in as a regular in the San Diego lineup. With Gavin Sheets getting a day off from playing the outfield and serving as the DH, the Padres won't have a lineup spot available for Brooks on Sunday.
-
Freddy Fermin KC CRoyals' Freddy Fermin: Playing time on upswing
25m agoFermin will start at catcher and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Padres.
Fermin will pick up his fourth start in five games and could hold down a semi-regular spot in the lineup while the Royals have been using Salvador Perez more frequently at first base and designated hitter of late. During the past month, Fermin hit .273 over a stretch of 15 games, but he provided limited counting statistics (one home run, no stolen bases, four runs, two RBI).

Casey Mize DET SPTigers' Casey Mize: Dealing with cramping
26m agoManager A.J. Hinch said Mize was removed from Sunday's game against the Rays due to right leg cramping, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
The 28-year-old allowed one run on six hits with five strikeouts and no walks across five frames before departing one batter into the sixth inning, but he's not dealing with a significant injury. Mize should be fine to make his next turn through the rotation next weekend versus Minnesota, assuming he experiences no additional issues over the next couple of days.
-
Kevin Newman LAA 3BAngels' Kevin Newman: Back in action Sunday
37m agoNewman (ankle) will start at shortstop and bat eighth Sunday against the Astros, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.
Newman has been dealing with a minor ankle injury the past few days but will return to the field for Sunday's series finale. The veteran infielder has seen sporadic playing time this season and has a .203/.213/.230 slash line in 76 plate appearances.

Dillon Brooks HOU SFSuns' Dillon Brooks: Traded to Phoenix
4h agoThe Suns have acquired Brooks and Jalen Green in a blockbuster trade with the Rockets involving Kevin Durant, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Brooks is coming off another solid season with the Rockets, as he was one of the main reasons for Houston's recent resurgence. The defensive-minded forward will now start fresh in Phoenix, playing alongside Green, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal. In 75 games with Houston during the 2024-25 campaign, Brooks averaged 14.0 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game, shooting 42.9 percent from the field and a career-high 39.7 percent from beyond the arc.

Jalen Green HOU SGSuns' Jalen Green: Traded to Phoenix
4h agoThe Suns will acquire Green and Dillon Brooks as part of the blockbuster trade involving Kevin Durant, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Green will get a fresh start playing alongside Devin Booker in Phoenix. The 22-year-old guard is coming off his second straight season playing in all 82 games during the regular season, making him one of the most durable young stars in the league today. He averaged 21.0 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game while shooting 42.3 percent from the floor and a career-high 35.4 percent from deep in his last year with the Rockets.
-
Kevin Durant PHO PFRockets' Kevin Durant: Traded to Houston
4h agoThe Rockets have acquired Durant in a trade with the Suns, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
After the 2024-25 season came to a close for the Suns, Phoenix and Durant agreed to part ways and work on a trade heading into the offseason. A lot of teams became potential destinations for the superstar forward, but in the end, Houston won the KD sweepstakes by sending Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks and six draft picks to Phoenix. The Suns will now have the No. 10 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft as well as five second-round picks. During the 2024-25 campaign, Durant averaged 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.2 blocks per game, shooting 52.7 percent from the field and 43 percent from beyond the arc.

Jarace Walker IND PFPacers' Jarace Walker: Won't play Sunday
23h agoWalker (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's Game 7 of the NBA Finals against the Thunder.
Walker's 2024-25 campaign has officially come to an end. The 21-year-old forward finished his second season with the Pacers having averaged 6.1 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game during the regular season while shooting 47.2 percent from the field and 40.5 percent from deep.
-
Tyrese Haliburton IND PGPacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Questionable for Game 7
23h agoHaliburton (calf) is questionable for Sunday's Game 7 of the NBA Finals against the Thunder.
Haliburton played through his calf strain during Game 6 and performed well despite the injury, finishing with 14 points, one rebound, five assists and two steals across 23 minutes. If he's unable to play in Game 7, Indiana will likely turn to T.J. McConnell and Andrew Nembhard to help shoulder the load in the backcourt.

Josh Green CHA SFHornets' Josh Green: Undergoes shoulder surgery
2d agoGreen underwent surgery Friday to address the instability in his left shoulder and has no timetable for his return, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Green missed the last six games of the 2024-25 regular season due to the shoulder injury. The Arizona product started 67 of the 68 games he played in his first season with Charlotte. He averaged 7.4 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists and a career-high 1.1 steals per game, shooting 42.8 percent from the floor and 39.1 percent from beyond the arc.

T.J. Brodie CHI DBlackhawks' T.J. Brodie: On waivers for buyout
1d agoBrodie was placed on unconditional waivers by the Blackhawks on Saturday for the purpose of a contract buyout, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
If Brodie clears waivers, the Blackhawks will officially buy out the last year of his contract, and he will become an unrestricted free agent. The 35-year-old had two goals and eight assists in 54 appearances before being a healthy scratch for the final 22 games of the 2024-25 regular season. He is too expensive to be spending $3.75 million on, especially with all of the young defensemen Chicago can utilize in 2025-26. Brodie is just a year removed from a 26-point campaign, but considering his age, he will likely be not much more than a depth add for a team in free agency.
-
Andre Burakovsky SEA LWKraken's Andre Burakovsky: Headed to Windy City
1d agoChicago acquired Burakovsky from the Kraken on Saturday in exchange for Joe Veleno, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.
Burakovsky has two years remaining on his contract, which carries a $5.5 million cap hit. After battling injuries and missing 66 combined games in 2022-23 and 2023-24, the 30-year-old enjoyed a relatively healthy season in 2024-25, playing 79 games while producing 10 goals and 27 assists. He'll hope to bring similar health to a Chicago team that could use some veteran help on the wing. He'll likely be in the mix for a middle-six role in the 2025-26 campaign.
-
Joseph Veleno CHI CKraken's Joe Veleno: Dealt to Seattle
1d agoVeleno was acquired by Seattle from Chicago on Saturday in exchange for Andre Burakovsky, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.
Veleno's time in Chicago was brief after being acquired from Detroit at the trade deadline in March. The 25-year-old had three goals and seven points in 18 regular-season games with the Blackhawks, giving him eight goals and nine assists across 56 regular-season appearances in 2024-25. He should be a bottom-six forward, at best, in Seattle.
-
Cale Fleury SEA DKraken's Cale Fleury: Inks two-year extension
2d agoFleury signed a two-year, $1.78 million contract extension with the Kraken on Friday.
Fleury played in 14 games with the Kraken last year, earning one assist, 16 shots on net, 30 hits and 28 blocked shots. His new deal is a one-way contract, so it will offer him a slight raise and some stability after his previous two-year, $1.6 million deal. Fleury is likely to be a seventh defenseman at best for Seattle, and he should be expected to spend a sizable part of the 2025-26 campaign with AHL Coachella Valley.
-
Dryden Hunt CGY LWFlames' Dryden Hunt: Agrees to two-year contract
2d agoHunt signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Flames on Friday. He'll come with a cap hit of $825,000 if he's on the NHL roster.
Hunt had 16 goals and 49 points in 49 regular-season appearances with the AHL's Wranglers in 2024-25. He also registered three assists in five outings with the Flames. The 29-year-old is likely to spend most of 2025-26 in the minors, but Hunt will be on the list of candidates for promotion if the Flames run into injury troubles.
-
Mavrik Bourque DAL CStars' Mavrik Bourque: Inks one-year contract
2d agoBourque signed a one-year, $950,000 contract with Dallas on Friday, according to Chris Johnston of The Athletic.
Bourque managed to play in 73 regular-season games during his rookie campaign in 2024-25, scoring 11 goals and adding 14 assists. He was selected in the opening round, 30th overall, in 2020 and is likely to be a middle-six forward for the Stars next season. Bourque was a healthy scratch on 15 occasions during the playoffs and was held off the scoresheet in the three games he managed to see action in.
