Brian Allen LAR CBrowns' Brian Allen: Finds work in Cleveland
45m agoThe Browns signed Allen on Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Allen spent the first six seasons of his career with the Rams but was released in a cap move earlier this offseason. He has 50 games -- 32 starts -- of experience and gives Cleveland some valuable depth on the interior of its offensive line. He should compete with 2022 seventh-rounder Dawson Deaton for top backup duties behind starting center Ethan Pocic.

Greg Newsome II CLE CBBrowns' Greg Newsome: Option exercised
1h agoThe Browns exercised Newsome's 2025 fifth-year option, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The 26th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, Newsome had a breakout season under Browns DC Jim Schwartz in 2023. He started 13 of the 14 games he appeared in, picking off the first two passes of his career while breaking up 14 passes in coverage. Newsome also registered a career-best 49 tackles (34 solo) and returned one of his interceptions for a touchdown.

J.K. Dobbins LAC RBChargers' J.K. Dobbins: Feels fully healthy
1h agoDobbins (Achilles) said he feels 100 percent healthy heading into the offseason program, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
"I've had these injuries, and it's been a storm," Dobbins said. "But I think the storm is over with, and I think I'm going to take off now. There's going to be no setbacks, and the 'injury prone' thing will be gone out of the window." Since being drafted in the second round by the Ravens in 2020, Dobbins has missed a whopping 43 games to various significant injuries, including a torn ACL, torn LCL, severe hamstring strain and a torn Achilles tendon. To say the injury-prone label is behind him might be wishful thinking, as his body has yet to cooperate with him to this point. The 25-year-old Dobbins joined Gus Edwards in following offensive coordinator Greg Roman from Baltimore to the Chargers, so he will at least be in a familiar scheme.

Joey Slye JAC KJoey Slye: Replaced by rookie
6h agoThe Jaguars released Slye on Tuesday.
Slye inked with Jacksonville as a free agent back in March, but he's now lost his spot on the roster to rookie sixth-round pick Cam Little. Meanwhile, Riley Patterson remains with the Jaguars as potential offseason competition for Little. Slye converted 19 of 24 field-goal tries and 32 of 35 extra-point attempts across 17 games with Washington last season.

Zay Jones JAC WRZay Jones: Released by Jacksonville
6h agoThe Jaguars released Jones on Tuesday.
The 29-year-old's release comes shortly after Jacksonville's selection of Brian Thomas in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Jones played only nine games last season due to a PCL injury, and while he seems to be healthy now, his release saves the Jaguars $4.2 million in cap space. In addition to Thomas, Christian Kirk and Gabe Davis will make up the top three wideouts for Trevor Lawrence, while Jones will work to find a landing spot elsewhere.

Ricky Pearsall SF WR49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Immediate impact may be limited
7h agoPearsall may not see the field often as a rookie after being drafted by the 49ers, who have three starting wideouts returning for 2024, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
San Francisco's selection of Pearsall at the tail end of the first round of the 2024 Draft came as a bit of a surprise, both in terms of draft slot and roster needs, as Pearsall was mostly projected as a Day 2 pick rather than Day 1. Perhaps the front office drafted the Florida product with an eye on next offseason, at which point Brandon Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings are expected to hit free agency and Deebo Samuel will be entering the final year of his contract. Pearsall is an explosive talent with a good chance to put up fantasy-worthy numbers at some point during his career; it just may not happen right off the bat in a loaded 49ers offense.

Jose Abreu HOU 1BAstros' Jose Abreu: Heading to minors
6m agoAstros GM Dana Brown said Tuesday that Abreu is not with the MLB club and will be optioned to the FCL Astros on Wednesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
The 37-year-old has struggled to a .099/.156/.113 slash line in 77 plate appearances through the first month of the season, so he'll voluntarily head to Houston's FCL affiliate in an attempt to "get some at-bats and his timing back right," per Brown. It will be the first time in the minors for Abreu, as he immediately joined the White Sox after coming up from Cuba in 2014 and has never had a minor-league rehab assignment.

Masataka Yoshida BOS DHRed Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Recieivng MRI on Wednesday
6m agoYoshida (hand) will undergo an MRI on Wednesday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.
Yoshida jammed his left hand during Sunday's 5-4 win over the Cubs and was not listed in the Red Sox lineup Tuesday. While he's technically active for the contest, he's unlikely to play. Fantasy managers should have a better idea about the severity of the injury after the results of Wednesday's MRI come back. In the meantime, Tyler O'Neill should handle DH duties.
-
Michael Busch CHC 1BCubs' Michael Busch: Out against left-hander
7m agoBusch is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Mets.
Southpaw Sean Manaea is on the hill for the Mets, so the left-handed hitting Busch will take a seat. Patrick Wisdom will occupy first base for the Cubs on Tuesday.
-
JT Chargois MIA RPMarlins' JT Chargois: Suffers setback
13m agoChargois (neck) suffered a setback while on a rehab assignment, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Chargois had made three rehab appearances with Triple-A Jacksonville but evidently is having issues with his neck again. The reliever has been out all season and also missed most of spring training due to neck spasms. It's not clear how long he might now be sidelined.
-
A.J. Puk MIA SPMarlins' A.J. Puk: Ready for bullpen session
16m agoPuk (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Puk is over the left shoulder fatigue that sent him to the injured list earlier this month and will now ramped things back up as he preps for a return. When he is activated, Puk will move to the Marlins' bullpen.
-
Evan Carter TEX LFRangers' Evan Carter: Not facing lefty
20m agoCarter is out of Tuesday's lineup against the Nationals.
Carter has now sat out each of the Rangers' last three games against left-handed pitching and seems to be falling into a platoon. Wyatt Langford will draw the start in left while Davis Wendzel will handle DH duties Tuesday.
-
Bojan Bogdanovic NY SFKnicks' Bojan Bogdanovic: Needs surgery, out for postseason
26m agoBogdanovic will undergo season-ending surgeries on his left foot and left wrist, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Bogdanovic was playing through ligament damage in his left wrist but suffered a left foot injury during his first minute in Game 4 and was already ruled out for Game 5. The sharpshooter was traded to the Knicks at the deadline and averaged 10.4 points in 19.1 minutes across his final 29 regular-season appearances. However, Bogdanovic struggled in limited action during the opening-round series against Philadelphia, as he averaged 8.0 points on 29.2 percent shooting in 16.3 minutes over the first three matchups. He has one more year remaining on his current contract.
-
Tim Hardaway Jr. DAL SGMavericks' Tim Hardaway: Officially ruled out
1h agoHardaway (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Clippers.
Hardaway suffered a setback during Tuesday's post-practice scrimmage and will miss a third straight contest after spraining his right ankle during Game 2. In Hardaway's absence, Josh Green and Dante Exum are candidates for a few extra minutes off the bench.
-
Terry Rozier MIA SGHeat's Terry Rozier: Remains out for Game 5
1h agoRozier (neck) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Celtics, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Rozier will miss an 11th straight game due to a neck strain. Jimmy Butler (knee) and Jaime Jaquez (hip) are also out for the potential elimination game, so Delon Wright, Patty Mills, Kevin Love and Duncan Robinson are all candidates for increased roles.
-
Jaime Jaquez Jr. MIA SFHeat's Jaime Jaquez: Ruled out for Game 5
1h agoJaquez has been ruled out for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Celtics due to a hip flexor strain, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Jaquez initially went to the locker room during the first half of Game 4 after experiencing tightness in his hip but quickly returned to action. However, he was sidelined for the entire fourth quarter and finished with only nine points and two boards in 22 minutes. With Jaquez joining Terry Rozier (neck) and Jimmy Butler (knee) on the sidelines for the potential elimination game, Delon Wright, Patty Mills, Haywood Highsmith, Kevin Love and Duncan Robinson are candidates for increased roles.

Kawhi Leonard LAC SFClippers' Kawhi Leonard: Confirmed out for Game 5
2h agoCoach Tyronn Lue said Tuesday that Leonard (knee) will not play in Game 5 versus the Mavericks on Wednesday, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.
Lue made this announcement shortly after saying Leonard wouldn't be doing anything at all during Tuesday's practice. Leonard clearly didn't have much mobility in Games 2 and 3, and it's unclear when he'll be able to return. Based on previous reports, the Clippers will need to see Leonard's knee inflammation improve before giving him the green light.

Kawhi Leonard LAC SF
Clippers' Kawhi Leonard: Won't practice Tuesday
2h agoCoach Tyronn Lue said Leonard (knee) will not do anything at practice Tuesday, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
After sitting out Game 1 due to inflammation in his right knee, Leonard played in Games 2 and 3, but he looked like a shell of himself with limited mobility. Leonard was held out of Game 4 on Sunday, and it would be a big surprise if he could play Wednesday based on how the forward is trending. If Leonard is indeed held out, Amir Coffey would be a candidate to see an increased role.
-
Joel Kiviranta COL LWAvalanche's Joel Kiviranta: Not ready to play
32m agoKiviranta (lower body) will not be an option against the Jets in game 5 on Tuesday, per NHL.com.
Kiviranta did make the trip with the team to Winnipeg, so he appears to be getting close to returning. In his three postseason contests, the 28-year-old winger registered one assist, three shots and nine hits while averaging 10:14 of ice time. Even once given the all-clear, Kiviranta is far from a lock for the lineup but should be in the mix for a bottom-six role.
-
Ethan Bear WAS DCapitals' Ethan Bear: Leaves Player Assistance Program
1h agoBear (personal) has been cleared by the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports Tuesday.
Bear logged 24 games for Washington this season in which he registered one goal and three assists while averaging a career-low 14:54 of ice time. With one year remaining on his contract, Bear should be back with Washington next season, though he may be hard-pressed to force his way into the lineup on a nightly basis.
-
Casey DeSmith VAN GCanucks' Casey DeSmith: Available to play
2h agoDeSmith (lower body) will return to the lineup in Tuesday's Game 5 home matchup versus Nashville, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
Per Batchelor, the starting goaltender for the Canucks will be a game-time decision. Due to the absences of DeSmith and Thatcher Demko (knee), Arturs Silovs made his NHL playoff debut in Game 4, stopping 27 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime victory over the Predators. If DeSmith doesn't start Tuesday, Silovs will probably be between the pipes.
-
Nicklas Backstrom WAS CCapitals' Nicklas Backstrom: Will remain on LTIR next season
2h agoBackstrom (hip) is expected to spend the 2024-25 campaign on long-term injured reserve, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports Tuesday.
Backstrom managed just eight games this year before being forced to miss the remainder of the season on LTIR. At this point, Backstrom's career appears to be over, with the center essentially riding out the final year of his contract. That being the case, Backstrom will eventually retire having played in 1105 games, all for the Capitals, in which he racked up 271 goals and 762 assists over the course of 17 seasons.
-
Vladislav Namestnikov WPG CJets' Vladislav Namestnikov: Not playing Tuesday
3h agoNamestnikov (face) won't play Tuesday against Colorado in Game 5, per Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press.
Namestnikov suffered a fractured cheekbone in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche in Game 4. He has one goal, four shots on net and eight hits in four appearances this postseason. With Namestnikov unavailable and Axel Jonsson-Fjallby serving as a healthy scratch, Cole Perfetti and David Gustafsson will draw into the lineup for Tuesday's Game 5 matchup.
-
Joseph Woll TOR GMaple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Tending twine in Game 5
4h agoWoll will guard the road net Tuesday in Game 5 against Boston, according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.
Woll will make his first start this postseason after Ilya Samsonov went 1-3 with a 3.31 GAA and an .883 save percentage in the opening four contests of the series. The 25-year-old Woll stopped all five shots he faced during Saturday's relief appearance in Game 4. He posted a mark of 0-2-1 versus the Bruins during the 2023-24 regular season, surrendering 12 goals on 89 shots. The Maple Leafs need a win in Game 5 to force Game 6 back in Toronto on Thursday.
