Khalil Dinkins SF TE49ers' Khalil Dinkins: Placed on NFI list
1d agoThe 49ers placed Dinkins (undisclosed) on the active/non-football injury list Saturday.
It's unclear what issue Dinkins is working through, but since he was placed on the active NFI list, he is eligible to practice and play in preseason games once fully healthy. He signed with the 49ers as an undrafted free agent in late April following a four-year collegiate career at Penn State.

Deven Eastern SEA DTSeahawks' Deven Eastern: Lands on PUP list
1d agoThe Seahawks placed Eastern (undisclosed) on the Physically Unable to Perform list Saturday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
A seventh-round pick of the 2026 NFL Draft, Eastern had missed parts of minicamp and OTAs due to an unspecified injury. By being placed on the PUP, Eastern is eligible to be activated at any time during training camp once he's fully healthy. The nature of the Minnesota product's injury might become more clear once the Seahawks conduct their first practice of training camp July 25.

Tahj Brooks CIN RBBengals' Tahj Brooks: Competing for RB2 role
2d agoBrooks will compete against Samaje Perine in training camp for the No. 2 running back role behind Chase Brown, Michael Hull of the Bengals' official site reports.
Brooks was a sixth-round selection of the Bengals in the 2025 NFL Draft and spent most of his rookie campaign as a contributor on special teams while operating behind both Brown and Perine in the backfield. Brooks figures to see continued work on special teams in 2026, but he'll have the opportunity to push Perine out for the RB2 role in training camp and the preseason. Brooks turned 16 carries into 45 yards and added a nine-yard catch across 16 regular-season games in 2025 while also gaining 258 yards on 10 kickoff returns.

Davis Mills HOU QBTexans' Davis Mills: Set for QB2 duties again
2d agoMills is expected to reprise his role as the Texans' backup quarterback behind C.J. Stroud and ahead of Graham Mertz for the 2026 season, Jared Koch of SI.com reports.
Mills has served as the Texans' QB2 for each of the past two seasons, but he started in three games during the 2025 season while Stroud was sidelined due to a concussion. Mills led the Texans to wins in all three of his starts, completing 59.5 percent of his passes for 719 yards, five touchdowns and one interception while turning seven carries into 38 yards and a score in that span. Stroud hasn't had the same kind of production over the past two years as he did in his rookie campaign in 2023, and he committed seven turnovers across Houston's two playoff games. If Stroud has a slow start to the 2026 season, then that could be enough for head coach DeMeco Ryans to turn the keys to the offense over to Mills.

Ethan Pocic CLE GRavens' Ethan Pocic: Joining Ravens on one-year deal
2d agoPocic is signing a one-year contract worth up to $4.5 million with the Ravens, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports Friday.
Pocic is reportedly healthy after tearing his Achilles in October. The veteran center made 57 regular-season starts for the Browns over the previous four campaigns after starting 40 games for the Seahawks across the preceding five regular seasons.

Calvin Austin III NYG WRGiants' Calvin Austin: Jostling for opportunities at WR
2d agoAustin is competing for playing time in a Giants wide-receiver room that also includes Malik Nabers (knee), Darius Slayton (abdomen), Darnell Mooney, Malachi Fields, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Odell Beckham, Alex Smith of SNY.tv reports.
Austin appears to be running ahead of at least Smith-Schuster and Beckham, both of whom were brought in to bolster the team's wide-receiver depth in camp while Nabers and Slayton are sidelined. Mooney is expected to play primarily in the slot and Fields is a rookie third-round pick, so Austin has a clear path to playing time early in the season if Nabers takes time to ramp up in his recovery from a torn ACL that was surgically repaired Oct. 28.

Billy Cook PIT CFPirates' Billy Cook: Takes advantage of rare start
7m agoCook went 3-for-4 with a triple, two RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base Sunday against the Guardians.
Cook was in the lineup for only the fourth time since returning to the majors on June 10, and he took advantage of the opportunity. He played a key role in the Pirates' early offensive production, recording an RBI or a run scored in three of the first six innings. While it was a nice showing, Cook isn't a viable fantasy option due to his lack of playing time.
-
Blaze Jordan STL 3BCardinals' Blaze Jordan: Drives in three runs Sunday
9m agoJordan went 3-for-5 with a triple, three RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 8-7 extra-inning loss to the Diamondbacks.
Jordan opened the scoring with an RBI triple in the third inning before adding a two-run single in the fifth frame. Sunday's performance marked the rookie's second three-hit effort of the season, with his first coming July 3 against the Cubs. He was deployed as the everyday third baseman upon being promoted June 12 but has ceded playing time to Jose Fermin at the hot corner recently. In 88 plate appearances, Jordan is slashing .259/.273/.395 with seven extra-base hits (one homer), 17 RBI and nine runs scored.

Willi Castro COL 2BRockies' Willi Castro: Tallies ninth homer
11m agoCastro went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Sunday against the Reds.
Castro led off the ninth inning with a long ball, his ninth home run of the season. He's hitting only .205 since the start of July, though he has managed three home runs with seven RBI and five runs scored across 13 games in that span. After a slow start to the season, Castro has quietly turned things around, as he's hitting .263 with 42 runs and 40 RBI across 85 contests.
-
Colson Montgomery CHW SSWhite Sox's Colson Montgomery: Smacks 24th homer
17m agoMontgomery went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Sunday against the Blue Jays.
Montgomery took Trey Yesavage yard in the sixth inning to tally his 24th home run of the season. He had been in the midst of a short power drought, as he entered Sunday's contest having only one extra-base hit across his last 31 at-bats. Even with that slow stretch, Montgomery has an impressive .253 ISO and remains an elite source of power.
-
Andre Pallante STL SPCardinals' Andre Pallante: Fades late in no-decision
25m agoPallante did not factor into the decision in Sunday's extra-inning loss, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks over 5.1 innings against the Diamondbacks. He struck out three.
Pallante fired five scoreless frames before running into trouble in the sixth inning, allowing two runs before being pulled, while reliever Ryne Stanek allowed an inherited runner to score. Over his past five starts, Pallante has posted a 4.71 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 13:6 K:BB across 28.2 innings. Overall, the right-hander owns a 10-6 record with a 4.02 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 75:31 K:BB through 105.1 innings (19 starts) and is tentatively scheduled to make his next start Friday against the Reds.

Nate Lowe CIN DHReds' Nathaniel Lowe: Launches 11th homer
38m agoLowe went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 9-6 win over the Rockies.
Lowe wasted no time getting Cincinnati on the board, crushing a three-run homer off Ryan Feltner in his first plate appearance as part of a five-run opening inning. The blast was his 11th of the season, and after enduring a 28-game home run drought, he has now gone deep twice over his last three contests. Across 72 games this season, Lowe is slashing .249/.333/.473 with 11 home runs, 13 doubles, 30 RBI and 22 runs scored.

2h agoCoward finished with 19 points (6-10 FG, 5-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, four assists and a block in 27 minutes during Sunday's Las Vegas Summer League championship loss to the Warriors.
Coward continued his strong play at Summer League on Sunday, matching Cameron Boozer with a team-high 19 points on impressive efficiency. Coward excelled from beyond the arc, connecting on each of his five three-point attempts. The 22-year-old pro will look to take a step forward in his second season after an impressive rookie campaign in which he averaged 13.6 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 25.8 minutes per contest across 62 appearances.

Boozer put together a solid performance in the Summer League championship after struggling in the semifinals, leading the team in rebounds and matching Cedric Coward for the team high in scoring. Boozer played well throughout both the Salt Lake and Las Vegas Summer Leagues, helping lead his team to a runner-up finish in Las Vegas. The No. 3 overall pick will now shift his focus to getting ready for his first NBA regular season.

Walter Clayton Jr. MEM PGGrizzlies' Walter Clayton: Won't play Sunday
4h agoClayton (knee) won't play in Sunday's Summer League title game against the Warriors, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.
Clayton is still dealing with a sprained right knee and will end up missing the entirety of Summer League play. The 23-year-old guard will now turn his attention to the 2026-27 campaign, and he's expected to provide backcourt depth during his second season in the Association.
-
Karim Lopez MEM PFGrizzlies' Karim Lopez: Won't play Sunday
4h agoLopez (undisclosed) is out for Sunday's Summer League championship game against the Warriors, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.
Lopez will be inactive for a second straight game to close out the Grizzlies' stint in Las Vegas. The No. 21 overall pick dealt with a hamstring injury throughout Summer League, so the team could just be playing it safe with him.
-
Mark Sears NBADRAFT PGNuggets' Mark Sears: Dishes out six assists in SL win
5h agoSears supplied 17 points (2-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), six assists, one rebound and one steal across 28 minutes in Sunday's 96-89 Summer League win over the Raptors.
Sears turned in a lackluster shooting performance from the field, though he got to the charity stripe often and finished as Denver's second-leading scorer. The 24-year-old point guard also led the Nuggets in assists in their Summer League finale. After totaling 11 points on 4-of-14 shooting in his first two outings in Las Vegas, Sears combined for 43 points on 10-of-25 shooting in his final two Summer League appearances.

Isac Lundestrom CLB CBlue Jackets' Isac Lundestrom: Set to miss start of season
10h agoLundestrom will be out until at least early November after having offseason Achilles surgery, according to Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers on Sunday.
Lundestrom contributed four goals, eight assists, 53 shots on net, 35 blocked shots and 35 hits across 68 games for Columbus during the 2025-26 regular season. Once he is ready to make his 2026-27 debut, he will probably occupy a bottom-six role and see time on the penalty kill. Lundestrom's absence could help Luca Del Bel Belluz earn a roster spot with the Blue Jackets out of training camp.

Connor Bedard CHI CBlackhawks' Connor Bedard: Signs five-year contract
1d agoBedard (shoulder) signed a five-year, $75 million contract with Chicago on Saturday.
Bedard amassed 30 goals, 75 points and 226 shots on net in 69 games during the 2025-26 regular season. It was the final year of his entry-level contract, and he earned a significant pay increase. The 21-year-old forward will miss the start of the 2026-27 campaign after having surgery on his left shoulder. He suffered the injury while practicing in Vancouver on July 2 and underwent the procedure six days later. Bedard is expected to need four months to recover. Once he is back in the lineup, he will center the top line and occupy a spot on the first power-play unit.
-
Jamie Drysdale PHI DFlyers' Jamie Drysdale: Inks four-year contract
2d agoDrysdale signed a four-year, $26 million contract with the Flyers on Friday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Drysdale was a restricted free agent who would have gone to arbitration if he had been unable to agree to terms with Philadelphia. He had eight goals, 32 points, 33 PIM, 16 hits and 94 blocks in 78 regular-season outings with the Flyers in 2025-26. The 24-year-old matched his previous career high of 32 points from the 2021-22 regular season. He should serve in a top-four capacity and receive significant power-play minutes next season, which puts him in a great position to get at least 30 points again if he stays healthy.
-
Kirby Dach MON CCanadiens' Kirby Dach: Gets one-year deal
3d agoDach signed a one-year, $3.6 million contract with the Canadiens on Thursday.
Dach had eight goals, 15 points, 31 PIM and 53 hits in 37 regular-season outings with Montreal in 2025-26. The 25-year-old has struggled to live up to his potential as a top-six power forward, and his lengthy injury history has certainly been part of the problem. He might surpass his career high of 38 points if he stays relatively healthy this campaign, but he's played in fewer than 60 games in each of the past four regular seasons.
-
Connor McMichael STL CBlues' Connor McMichael: Inks six-year contract
3d agoMcMichael signed a six-year, $40.5 million contract with the Blues on Thursday.
McMichael was a restricted free agent after completing his two-year, $4.2 million contract. St. Louis acquired him from Washington on June 23 as part of the trade that sent Jordan Kyrou to the Capitals. The 25-year-old McMichael had 14 goals and 46 points in 78 regular-season appearances with Washington in 2025-26, which was down from 26 goals and 57 points in 82 outings during the 2024-25 regular season. He's expected to open the upcoming campaign in a middle-six capacity and should receive some power-play ice time.
-
Jakub Skarek SJ GJakub Skarek: Headed for Germany
4d agoSkarek inked a one-year contract with DEL club Straubing on Thursday.
Skarek played in two NHL games for the Islanders back in 2024-25, going 0-1-0 with a 3.95 GAA and an .872 save percentage. At 26 years of age, the door isn't completely closed on Skarek eventually returning to the NHL, but he will certainly face an uphill battle to make it back.
