Chip Trayanum 2005 RBJets' Chip Trayanum: Picked up by Jets
10m agoTrayanum signed with the Jets as an undrafted free agent Friday.
Trayanum made four stops during his six-year college career, ultimately breaking out in 2025 with Toledo, rushing 182 times for 1,015 yards (5.6 YPC) and 12 touchdowns while adding 21 receptions for 212 yards and two scores. He's a bigger running back (5-foot-11, 224 pounds) who ran an impressive 4.50 40-yard dash for his size. He'll have a difficult time securing a roster spot, however, as Breece Hall, Braelon Allen (knee) and Isaiah Davis are all on the roster heading into the offseason program.

Jacoby Brissett ARI QBCardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Still absent, but dialogue ongoing
1h agoBrissett remains absent from the Cardinals' offseason program, but coach Mike LaFleur said Friday that the veteran quarterback has "played a lot of football, and we're in communication," Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports. "He knows what the expectation is," LaFleur added.
In the wake of Arizona releasing Kyler Murray and then signing only Gardner Minshew in free agency, Brissett wasn't given an assurances that he'd be the team's starting signal-caller in 2026, per Weinfuss. Brissett thus has stayed away from the early stages of the offseason program as he seeks a raise to starter-level money, as his current contract includes just $1.5 million in guarantees, while Minshew's deal ensures $5.14 million this season. Brissett went only 1-11 as the Cardinals' starting QB in 2025, but he took advantage of high volume in those contests, completing 315 of 484 passes (65.1 percent) for 3,366 yards, 23 touchdowns and eight interceptions. The team added Carson Beck in the third round of this year's draft, but according to Weinfuss's report Friday, Brissett has been informed by the Cards that he's the starter for 2026.

DT Sheffield RUT WRJets' DT Sheffield: Headed to New York
3h agoThe Jets signed Sheffield as an undrafted free agent Friday, Jack Bell and John Pullano of the team's official site report.
Sheffield played single seasons at Washington State and North Texas before ending his college career at Rutgers. The wide receiver totalled 44 receptions for 557 yards and five touchdowns over 12 games in 2025. Sheffield's speed and suddenness mean that if he can produce at training camp, he may have a chance to see a few targets a year as a field-stretcher.

Malik McClain ARIZST WR
Jets' Malik McClain: Joins New York
3h agoThe Jets signed McClain as an undrafted free agent Friday, Jack Bell and John Pullano of the team's official site report.
McClain played for Florida State and Penn State before finishing his college career with Arizona State. The wide receiver caught 31 receptions for 441 yards and one touchdown over 13 games in 2025. McClain's only touchdown was a 42-yard reception on a trick play against Texas. Amidst a packed wide receiver depth chart, McClain will really have to show out at training camp to survive cutdown day.
-
Caullin Lacy 2005 WRJets' Caullin Lacy: Signs with New York
3h agoThe Jets signed Lacy as an undrafted free agent Friday, Jack Bell and John Pullano of the team's official site report.
Lacy played four years with South Alabama before transferring to Louisville for the final two years of his collegiate career. The wide receiver caught 60 receptions for 635 yards and two touchdowns over 13 games in 2025. Lacy is undersized, but his vision and acceleration could potentially earn him a gadget role as the No. 4 or 5 receiver on an NFL roster.
-
Desmond Reid 2005 RBBills' Desmond Reid: Joining Buffalo
3h agoThe Bills signed Reid as an undrafted free agent Friday, Alec White and Maddy Glab of the team's official site report.
Reid played his first two collegiate seasons at Western Carolina before ending his college career with two seasons at the University of Pittsburgh. The running back carried the ball 60 times for 278 yards and two touchdowns, adding 23 catches for 317 yards and two touchdowns over seven games in 2025. Reid's smaller frame makes him more injury-prone, but he is an explosive athlete who can line up anywhere and make plays in space. If the Bills are looking for someone to take over for Khalil Shakir at punt returner, Reid may have a path to an NFL roster.

Jake Mangum PIT CFPirates' Jake Mangum: Placed on IL
12m agoThe Pirates placed Mangum on the 10-day injured list Friday with a left hamstring strain, retroactive to Wednesday.
Mangum was a late scratch from Thursday's lineup due to a hamstring issue, and additional testing later revealed his injury to be a strain. He'll now be held out of action until at least May 16, and Nick Yorke will come up from Triple-A Indianapolis to replenish Pittsburgh's bench depth.

Hunter Harvey CHC RPCubs' Hunter Harvey: Suffers setback in recovery
20m agoHarvey was diagnosed with a stress reaction in his right triceps Friday, Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Harvey had progressed to throwing off a mound while working his way back from ticeps inflammation, but he reported soreness after Thursday's session. An MRI revealed a stress reaction Friday, which will keep the 31-year-old shut down for the next month. A clearer timeline for his return may begin to emerge once he's cleared to restart his throwing program.

Garrett Mitchell MIL CFBrewers' Garrett Mitchell: Sitting Friday
32m agoMitchell (illness) isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees.
Mitchell will miss a second consecutive start due to an illness that prevented him from playing Wednesday, though he likely wouldn't have started Saturday anyway with southpaw Max Fried on the bump for New York. Brandon Lockridge will fill the void in center field and bat seventh.
-
Chris Martin TEX RPRangers' Chris Martin: Set to face hitters
38m agoMartin (biceps) will throw live batting practice Saturday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
It will be the first time Martin has faced live hitters since biceps soreness sent him to the injured list in mid-April. Assuming he doesn't suffer any setbacks, he may be cleared to begin a rehab assignment in the minor leagues early next week.
-
Robert Garcia TEX RPRangers' Robert Garcia: Throwing from 80 feet
41m agoGarcia (shoulder) began throwing from 80 feet out Friday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
Garcia is seeing improvement in his shoulder every time he throws, but he is still dealing with some discomfort and isn't close to returning to Texas' bullpen. The Rangers may offer an update on his return timeline after he is cleared to resume mound work.
-
Bryce Eldridge SF 1BGiants' Bryce Eldridge: Resting Friday
1h agoEldridge isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Pirates, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Eldridge will pick out a spot on the bench Friday after going 1-for-9 with a walk and four strikeouts over his first three MLB games of the season. Casey Schmitt will slide into the DH spot and bat third.

Joel Embiid PHI C76ers' Joel Embiid: Available for Game 3
1h agoEmbiid (ankle) is available for Friday's Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against New York, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.
Embiid didn't suit up for Game 2 and was considered day-to-day. However, he was spotted on the court during warmups and now officially has the green light to suit up. The 32-year-old struggled in Game 1, finishing with 14 points, four rebounds and one assist in 25 minutes of work. With Embiid available, Andre Drummond will head back to the bench after starting Wednesday night.
-
Andre Drummond PHI C76ers' Andre Drummond: Headed to bench
1h agoDrummond will come off the bench in Friday's Game 3 against the Knicks, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
Joel Embiid (ankle) is back and starting, so Drummond will shift back to the second unit. As a reserve this postseason, Drummond owns averages of 4.1 points and 4.3 rebounds in 14.5 minutes per game.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Going through warmups
1h agoEmbiid (ankle) was spotted going through warmups ahead of Friday's Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Knicks, Paul Hudrick of Liberty Ballers reports.
Embiid is still listed as questionable. However, his presence during warmups is an encouraging sign regarding his availability for Game 3. If Embiid suffers a setback and can't get on the floor, Andre Drummond and Adem Bona would likely continue to share time in the middle.
-
Mitchell Robinson NY CKnicks' Mitchell Robinson: Will play in Game 3
2h agoRobinson (illness) will play in Game 3 against the 76ers on Friday, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
Robinson missed Wednesday's Game 2 win with an illness, but he'll be back in action Friday, and should see his usual minutes behind Karl-Anthony Towns. Robinson is averaging 6.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks per game this postseason.
-
Josh Hart NY SFKnicks' Josh Hart: Good to go Friday
2h agoHart (thumb) is available for Friday's Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the 76ers, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

-
Jakub Dobes MON GCanadiens' Jakub Dobes: Drawing start in Game 2
1h agoDobes will protect the road goal versus the Sabres in Game 2 on Friday, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.
Dobes allowed four goals on 16 shots in a Game 1 loss Wednesday. While Dobes has maintained a steady role as the Canadiens' No. 1 netminder, he has yet to win consecutive games this postseason. On the flip side, he also hasn't lost two games in a row. He is 4-4 with a 2.28 GAA and a .910 save percentage over eight playoff outings.
-
Alex Lyon BUF GSabres' Alex Lyon: Tending twine in Game 2
1h agoLyon will protect the home goal versus the Canadiens in Game 2 on Friday, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.
Lyon continued his strong play by stopping 26 of 28 shots to win the series opener. He hasn't allowed more than two goals in any of his five starts this postseason, a trend he'll look to keep going as the Sabres try to claim a 2-0 series lead.
-
Radko Gudas ANA DDucks' Radko Gudas: Slated to miss Friday's game
5h agoGudas (lower body) isn't expected to play in Game 3 against Vegas on Friday, per Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune.
Gudas did join the Ducks for the morning skate, but he wasn't part of the expected defensive pairings during the line rushes. He's skating regularly, which is encouraging, and he appears to be day-to-day at this stage. Once Gudas is available, he might replace Drew Helleson on the third pairing.
-
Jack Ahcan COL DAvalanche's Jack Ahcan: Sent down to minors
6h agoAhcan was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Friday, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.
Ahcan was left behind to suit up for AHL Colorado in the Calder Cup Playoffs thanks to the potential return of Josh Manson (upper body) from injury. The 28-year-old Ahcan logged 11 regular-season games with the Avs this year, but he has yet to feature in a postseason tilt. If the Eagles are eliminated from their playoff race, Ahcan will likely rejoin the Avalanche.
-
Josh Manson COL DAvalanche's Josh Manson: Nearing return to action
6h agoManson (upper body) could be available for Game 3 against Minnesota on Saturday, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.
Head coach Jared Bednar told reporters the team was confident enough that Manson would be available that it opted to leave Jack Ahcan behind to play for AHL Colorado. If the 34-year-old Manson does suit up in Game 3, it will likely be at the expense of Nick Blankenburg, though Manson could also serve as a healthy scratch.
-
Jonas Brodin MIN DWild's Jonas Brodin: Officially ruled out
6h agoBrodin (lower body) will not be available for Game 3 versus the Avalanche on Saturday, Dan Rosen of NHL.com reports.
Brodin will be out of action for his fourth straight game due to his lingering lower-body problem. In his last 10 outings, going back to the regular season, the 32-year-old blueliner has failed to find the back of the net while producing two assists, 13 shots and 23 blocks. As long as Brodin is on the shelf, Daemon Hunt figures to continue seeing minutes on the third pairing.
