1h agoThe Lions signed Goff to a four-year, $212 million contract extension Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The 2016 No. 1 overall pick of the Rams, Goff was acquired from Los Angeles in the Matthew Stafford haul prior to the 2021 season and has resurrected his career under Detroit OC Ben Johnson. In three seasons with Detroit, Goff has completed 66.5 percent of his passes, up from 63.4 percent with Los Angeles, and has thrown for 12,258 yards with a splendid 78:27 TD:INT mark. He's lowered his turnover rate with Detroit and just helped lead the team to the NFC Championship Game last season. Goff is still just 29 years old and is locked in with the Lions for at least the next few seasons.

1h agoThe Falcons signed Dwelley (ankle) on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Dwelley finished last season on injured reserve after sustaining an ankle injury, but it now seems as if he's moved past the issue. After spending the first six seasons of his NFL career with the 49ers, the 29-year-old tight end has agreed to terms with the Falcons. Across his last three seasons, Dwelley has appeared in 41 games and made two starts, catching eight of his 12 targets for 168 yards and two touchdowns.

Tylor Megill NYM SPMets' Tylor Megill: Role not yet determined
5m agoThe Mets are not committing to Megill (shoulder) rejoining the rotation once he's activated, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
It remains possible that the Mets will use Megill as a starter, but they've also considered putting him in the bullpen. Megill struck out six over 5.1 scoreless innings in his last rehab outing for Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday, but it's possible he will be asked to make another rehab start before the Mets decide how to deploy him.
-
Wyatt Langford TEX DHRangers' Wyatt Langford: Running at 85-to-90 percent
9m agoLangford (hamstring) said Monday that he's now able to run at about 85-to-90 percent speed, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Langford also added that he begin swinging a bat this past Friday. The next step for the rookie will be to incorporate more explosive running to test out his strained right hamstring. It's been just one week of a projected 3-to-4 week absence for Langford, so he's still got a ways to go.
-
Matt Vierling DET 3BTigers' Matt Vierling: Heading to bench Monday
11m agoVierling is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.
Though he's served as the Tigers' primary third baseman while Gio Urshela (hamstring) has been on the injured list, Vierling will begin Monday's game on the bench while Zach McKinstry receives a turn at the hot corner. Urshela appears likely to return from the IL later this week, so Vierling could soon be headed to a part-time or short-side platoon role.
-
Jake Rogers DET CTigers' Jake Rogers: Remains on bench Monday
14m agoRogers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.
After starting three games in a row, Rogers finds himself on the bench for the second straight day. Though Carson Kelly is behind the plate Monday, Rogers still looks to be manager A.J. Hinch's preferred option at catcher.
-
Jake McCarthy ARI RFDiamondbacks' Jake McCarthy: Not starting Monday
15m agoMcCarthy is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Reds.
The lefty-hitting McCarthy will sit in the series opener Monday despite Cincinnati sending right-hander Graham Ashcraft to the hill. McCarthy hit his first home run of the season in Sunday's 9-2 win over the Orioles. Pavin Smith will get the start at right field Monday and bat eighth.
-
Isaiah Hartenstein NY CKnicks' Isaiah Hartenstein: Good to go for Game 5
4m agoHartenstein (shoulder) isn't listed on New York's injury report for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Pacers.
As expected, Hartenstein will be good to go for Game 5 after suffering a minor shoulder injury during Sunday's Game 4 loss. In New York's two wins during the Eastern Conference Semifinals, Hartenstein has averaged 13.5 points, 9.0 rebounds and 6.0 assists. However, in the two losses, the starting center totaled only 10 points, 13 rebounds and five assists.
-

8m agoAnunoby (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Pacers.
Anunoby will miss a third straight game due to a left hamstring strain. After winning the first two matchups of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, the Knicks have lost back-to-back games without Anunoby. Precious Achiuwa should continue to start at power forward, while Anunoby's next chance to suit up will come Friday in Game 6. Over the weekend, Anunoby was able to get a pool workout in, but he hasn't resumed running yet.
-
Luke Kornet BOS CCeltics' Luke Kornet: Officially cleared to play
30m agoKornet (calf) is available for Monday's Game 4 against the Cavaliers.

-
Jamal Murray DEN PGNuggets' Jamal Murray: Listed as questionable again
1h agoMurray is questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Timberwolves due to a left calf strain.
After a tumultuous Game 2, Murray and the Nuggets rebounded for back-to-back wins in Minnesota to even the series. While the calf injury remains a storyline for the point guard, Murray hasn't looked bothered by the issue over the last two games, as he's averaged 21.5 points, 6.5 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 2.5 steals in 38.5 minutes. Murray is likely more probable than questionable for Game 5, but his official availability will likely come down to a game-time decision.
-
Luka Doncic DAL PGMavericks' Luka Doncic: Goes through shootaround
6h agoDoncic (knee/ankle) took part in the Mavericks' morning shootaround but remains questionable for Monday's Game 4 matchup with the Thunder in the Western Conference semifinal round, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.
Despite carrying a questionable tag into Game 4, Doncic doesn't seem to be in any real danger of missing the contest. He helped the Mavericks claim a 2-1 series lead in Saturday's 105-101 win, pouring in 22 points (7-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-10 FT) to go with 15 rebounds, five assists and two steals across 40 minutes.

Anthony Edwards MIN SGTimberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Strong outing not enough in Game 4
6h agoEdwards finished Sunday's 115-107 loss to the Nuggets in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals with 44 points (16-25 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals across 45 minutes.
Edwards carried the Timberwolves on offense in Game 4, and at times, he did the heavy lifting all by himself. However, his impressive stat line was not enough to avoid a second consecutive loss at home. Edwards has scored 40 or more points in three of his last five playoff appearances, including twice in the current series. He'll aim to keep that run going Tuesday in Game 5.
-
Carson Soucy VAN DCanucks' Carson Soucy: Receives one-game suspension
38m agoSoucy was suspended for one game by the NHL Department of Player Safety on Monday for cross-checking Edmonton's Connor McDavid in Sunday's Game 3.
Soucy received a two-minute penalty for cross-checking McDavid at the 20-minute mark of the third period in the Canucks' 4-3 win over the Oilers on Sunday. Noah Juulsen will probably replace Soucy in the lineup for Game 4 against Edmonton on Tuesday. The 29-year-old Soucy has four assists, zero shots on goal, nine blocked shots and 27 hits in nine contests this postseason.
-

He has a 6-4 record with a 2.12 GAA and a .919 save percentage through 10 starts this postseason.

-
Alexandar Georgiev COL GAvalanche's Alexandar Georgiev: In goal for Game 4
4h agoGeorgiev will patrol the home crease during Monday's Game 4 versus Dallas, Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports reports.
Georgiev was decent in Saturday's Game 3, turning aside 19 of 21 shots, but he ultimately came away with a second straight loss to the Stars due to insufficient goal support from his teammates. He'll try to help the Avalanche even the series up at two games apiece by picking up his sixth win of the playoffs during Monday's pivotal home contest versus Dallas.
-
Jonathan Drouin COL LWAvalanche's Jonathan Drouin: Game-time call
5h agoDrouin (lower body) will be a game-time decision for Monday's Game 4 versus Dallas, Kyle Fredrickson of The Denver Gazette reports.
Drouin has yet to play during the playoffs due to a lower-body injury. He practiced with the No. 1 power-play unit during Monday's morning skate, suggesting he could be closer to probable than questionable for Game 4 against the Stars. He collected 19 goals and 56 points through 79 regular-season contests.
-
Brad Marchand BOS LWBruins' Brad Marchand: Remains day-to-day
5h agoMarchand (upper body) is still considered day-to-day ahead of Game 5 versus the Panthers on Tuesday, Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe reports.
Marchand skated Monday morning and will travel with the team to Florida. He sat out Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Panthers in Game 4 after being injured during Friday's 6-2 defeat in Game 3 of Boston's second-round series. It's currently unclear if Marchand will be available for Tuesday's must-win contest. He has racked up three goals and 10 points in 10 outings this postseason.
