  • DJ Moore BUF WR
    Bills' DJ Moore: Settling in as Allen's top target
    31m ago

    Quarterback Josh Allen said in late June that Moore has been "a pretty seamless fit" and is "going to be a huge help" for Buffalo's offense in 2026, Nick Shook of NFL.com reports.

    Moore was acquired by the Bills from Chicago in March for a second-round pick, and the 29-year-old veteran steps into a new wide receiver room alongside Khalil Shakir to provide Allen a true proven No. 1 receiver for the first time since Stefon Diggs' departure back in 2024. Catching passes from one of the NFL's premier quarterbacks will aid Moore as he looks to bounce back from a down 2025 season with the Bears, in which he totaled a career-worst 50-682-6 receiving line despite suiting up for all 17 regular-season games. Moore faces less competition for targets in Buffalo, as behind Shakir and tight end Dalton Kincaid, the likes of Joshua Palmer, Keon Coleman and Skyler Bell fill out the team's receiver corps. If Moore can demonstrate that he hasn't lost a step at age 29, he'll be in position to bounce back in 2026 even if his best days are behind him.

  • Malik Benson LV WR
    Raiders' Malik Benson: Impressing early
    6h ago

    Benson turned heads during the Raiders' mandatory minicamp, Levi Edwards of the team's official site reports.

    Edwards identified Benson as one of the biggest standouts of the Raiders' offseason program, noting that the rookie connected with multiple quarterbacks on deep passes during practices open to the media. The sixth-round pick enters training camp in what Ryan McFadden of ESPN reports to be an open competition at wide receiver, and his speed and ability to stretch the field could help him carve out a role if he builds on that momentum. Tre Tucker, Jalen Nailor, Jack Bech and Dont'e Thornton represent Benson's main competition for snaps.

    49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Poised to start opposite Evans
    7h ago

    Pearsall is expected to enter training camp as San Francisco's starting wide receiver opposite Mike Evans, Kyle Madson of USA Today reports.

    Pearsall is positioned for a significant role after injuries limited him to nine regular-season appearances in 2025. With Jauan Jennings having signed with the Vikings and Brandon Aiyuk seemingly out of the picture, the 25-year-old clearly projects as Brock Purdy's No. 2 wide receiver behind Evans. Christian Kirk is expected to handle slot duties, while rookie second-round pick De'Zhaun Stribling and Demarcus Robinson provide depth, but it's Pearsall and Evans who project to see the field in 21 personnel sets, which the 49ers deployed at a league-high rate in 2025. A healthy season would position Pearsall for the biggest workload of his NFL career.

    Lions' Isiah Pacheco: Embracing complementary role
    7h ago

    Pacheco appears locked into Detroit's No. 2 running back role behind Jahmyr Gibbs as training camp approaches, Ben Raven of MLive reports.

    Running backs coach Tashard Choice has challenged Pacheco during spring activities to "love every possession," emphasizing the importance of maximizing a complementary workload behind Gibbs rather than focusing on snap counts. After injuries slowed Pacheco over the past two seasons in Kansas City, the 27-year-old is embracing his new opportunities and is expected to play a key role in Detroit's backfield. While Gibbs remains the Lions' clear workhorse, Pacheco's physical running style should earn him steady touches and give him significant fantasy upside if he's forced into a larger workload. Sione Vaki is also in the mix for reps behind Gibbs.

    Bengals' Mike Gesicki: Back for Year 3 with Bengals
    8h ago

    As the coming season approaches, Gesicki profiles as the main receiving option in a Bengals tight end corps that also features Drew Sample, who makes most of his impact as an inline blocker, John Sheeran of A to Z Sports reports.

    Also competing for TE slotting are Erick All (knee), Tanner Hudson, Jack Endries, Cam Grandy and Josh Kattus. Gesicki saw his production drop last season to 28 catches (on 42 targets) for 307 yards and two TDs in 13 regular-season games, down from the 65-665-2 line he posted in 2024, his first year with Cincinnati. Four missed games of his own, along with injuries limiting star QB Joe Burrow to eight regular-season appearances in 2025, didn't help Gesicki's cause, but with Noah Fant (34 catches on 41 targets) no longer in the mix, Gesicki has a chance to rebound as a secondary target with some streaming utility in a 2026 passing attack that will continue to lean heavily on WRs Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, as well as RB Chase Brown.

  • Eli Heidenreich PIT RB
    Steelers' Eli Heidenreich: Works mostly at RB during OTAs
    22h ago

    Heidenreich, who is currently listed as both a running back and wide receiver on the Steelers' official website, "overwhelmingly lined up in the backfield" in team drills and worked mostly with the running backs for individual drills during OTAs, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

    Heidenreich excelled as both a wideout and running back in college with Navy, and Steelers running backs coach Ramon Chinyoung Sr. has fittingly referred to the rookie as a "Swiss Navy knife." That seemingly boosts Heidenreich's chances of making the opening 53-man roster, but DeFabo still sees the seventh-round draft pick as more likely to begin his NFL career on the practice squad. Still, Heidenreich is an intriguing young player due to his unique skill set, which also includes the ability to return kicks. Should Pittsburgh decide to open up the playbook more, Heidenreich could fit in as a change-of-pace weapon, though he's probably going to need to prove capable in pass protection -- something he was rarely asked to do while at Navy.

    Angels' Christian Moore: Optioned to Triple-A
    21m ago

    The Angels optioned Moore to Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday.

    Moore joined the active roster last week and went 4-for-20 with an RBI and 11 strikeouts while appearing in six games. With Jose Siri returning from the paternity list Saturday, Moore will now head back to the minors, where he sports a 1.053 OPS across 252 plate appearances. If his bat heats up again at Triple-A, the 23-year-old could draw consideration for another promotion later this summer.

    Angels' Jose Siri: Reinstated from paternity list

    The Angels reinstated Siri from the paternity list Saturday.

    Siri is active for the Angels after missing the last couple of days on paternity leave. Before missing time, the 30-year-old slashed .275/.338/.493 with four homers and 16 RBI in 79 plate appearances this season. However, Siri is not in the starting lineup Saturday as Josh Lowe will remain in center field and bat ninth. Christian Moore was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake to make room for Siri on the roster.

    Milner (abdomen) will be sidelined 4-6 weeks after receiving emergency appendectomy surgery on Friday, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.

    Milner will miss a chunk of time after undergoing emergency surgery on his appendicitis Friday. If the 35-year-old misses the minimum four weeks, he could be back by the end of July or start of August. The Cubs bullpen has been heavily dismayed by injuries this season with Phil Maton (knee), Riley Martin (elbow) and Hunter Harvey (triceps) all currently on the injured list.

    The Cubs recalled Ferguson from Triple-A Iowa on Saturday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Ferguson was sent back to Triple-A after throwing two shutout innings during Wednesday's doubleheader against the Mets, but he'll now rejoin the big club to replace Hoby Milner (abdomen). The 32-year-old Ferguson will likely be limited to low-leverage opportunities while with the Cubs.

    Cubs' Hoby Milner: Lands on injured list

    The Cubs placed Milner on the 15-day injured list with appendicitis on Saturday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Milner will make his way to the 15-day IL after last appearing Thursday against the Mets when he failed to record an out, giving up an earned run on three hits. On the campaign, the 35-year-old has posted a 3.53 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 18:9 K:BB in 35.2 innings. Tyler Ferguson will make his way up to the big-league club to fill the open spot on the roster.

  • Jonathan Isaac ORL PF
    Jonathan Isaac: Cut loose by Orlando
    1h ago

    Isaac (knee) was waived by the Magic on Saturday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

    Isaac had been with the Magic since the organization selected him No. 6 overall in the 2017 NBA Draft, but he'll now depart after his effectiveness and role diminished in recent years. Across 52 regular-season appearances during the 2025-26 campaign, the 28-year-old averaged 2.6 points and 2.5 rebounds in 10.0 minutes per contest before a left knee sprain sidelined him from mid-March through Orlando's Eastern Conference first-round series loss. Isaac will now look for a fresh opportunity elsewhere, and while earning a consistent role may prove challenging, the forward's length and defensive ability may make him an intriguing option for teams looking to bolster frontcourt depth.

    The Heat extended a two-way qualifying offer to Goldin on Saturday.

    Goldin is now guaranteed a two-way contract salary from Miami this season, although he could still accept a standard league deal from another team. Goldin logged a total of 24 minutes for the Heat last season, compiling seven points, nine rebounds, three assists and three blocks.

    Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Says he's feeling great
    2h ago

    Haliburton said Saturday that he feels "great," Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

    "I feel great. Body feels great. I'm able to do everything," said Haliburton. "I feel like I'm operating like I'm a healthy NBA player - for the first time in a long time, which is exciting." Haliburton missed the entire 2025-26 season after tearing his Achilles tendon seven minutes into Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals, but he's been participating in 5-on-5 work since April and no longer appears to have any restrictions. Still, it wouldn't be surprising if the Pacers managed his workload early in training camp and the preseason.

    Bulls' Leonard Miller: To remain in Chicago

    The Bulls picked up their $2.4 million team option for Miller on Saturday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

    Miller played well after getting traded to Chicago last season, churning out regular-season averages of 11.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.1 triples per contest on 56/36/76 shooting splits. However, with the additions of Dailyn Swain and Caleb Wilson, it could be tough for Miller to find meaningful minutes in the rotation when the team is healthy.

  • Jaylen Clark MIN SG
    Timberwolves' Jaylen Clark: To re-sign with Minnesota
    19h ago

    Clark will sign a three-year, $10 million contract with the Timberwolves, Chris Hine of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports Friday.

    The defensive-minded wing will re-sign with Minnesota after spending the first two years of his career with the club. He saw relatively consistent minutes before the Timberwolves traded for Ayo Dosunmu last season, though Clark could have a clearer path to consistent playing time in 2026-27 due to Naz Reid and Julius Randle no longer being in the picture. In addition, Donte DiVincenzo is expected to miss most, if not all, of the season after rupturing his Achilles in the first round of the playoffs. Over 68 regular-season appearances (one start) last season, Clark averaged 4.0 points, 1.8 rebounds and 0.7 steals in 13.1 minutes per game.

Despite being the No. 21 overall pick in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft, Lysell has appeared in just 12 career regular-season NHL games. Perhaps a fresh start with a new organization will benefit the 23-year-old.
