Najee Harris LAC RB
Chargers' Najee Harris: Sustains superficial eye injury
20h agoA statement from Harris' agent Doug Hendrickson on Thursday noted that the running back sustained a superficial eye injury stemming from what was described as a "fireworks mishap" during a Fourth of July event, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Per the statement, Harris, who signed with the Chargers in March, "is fully expected to be ready for the upcoming NFL season." It remains to be seen if the issue will affect Harris' participation in the team's upcoming training camp practices, but when available, the 2021 first-rounder is slated to handle a key role in a Los Angeles backfield that also includes Omarion Hampton, the No. 22 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Demarcus Robinson SF WR
49ers' Demarcus Robinson: Pleads no contest to DUI charge
21h agoRobinson, who pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor DUI charge stemming from his arrest last November, has been sentenced to three years' probation, the Orange County Register reports.
Robinson, who signed a two-year, $9.5 million contract in free agency with the 49ers in March, is coming off a 2024 regular season in which he recorded a 31/505/7 receiving line in 17 games with the Rams. When available, the 30-year-old is on track to provide veteran depth to a San Francisco wideout corps that could be without Brandon Aiyuk (knee) early on this season. Per Aidin Vaziri of the San Francisco Chronicle, the NFL has not announced whether Robinson will face discipline under its personal conduct policy.

Dustin Hopkins CLE K
Browns' Dustin Hopkins: Looking to rebound in 2025
1d agoHopkins is going to get every opportunity to show he's moved on from a frustrating 2024 season, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Hopkins was acquired from the Chargers ahead of the 2023 campaign and had a career year that season, drilling 33 of 36 field-goal attempts (91.7 percent) and 24 of 26 extra-point tries. Cleveland inked him to a three-year, $15.3 million extension through 2027, but the veteran kicker then posted the worst season of his career in 2024, making just 18 of 27 field goals (66.7 percent) and 17 of 20 extra points. The Browns have brought in Andre Szmyt to provide competition, but it sounds like Cleveland wants Hopkins to win this job. For fantasy purposes, the Browns don't project to be a high-scoring offense in 2025. That coupled with Hopkins' 2024 struggles don't make him a desirable target.

Kalel Mullings TEN RB
Titans' Kalel Mullings: Pushing for roster spot as rookie
2d agoMullings will compete with Julius Chestnut for a roster spot during training camp, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Mullings missed time with an injury to his abdomen immediately after being drafted in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, but he participated in minicamp and will be a full go for training camp. He is regarded as a good downhill runner, but his primary role, if he makes the team, will come on special teams to begin his rookie campaign.

Julius Chestnut TEN RB
Titans' Julius Chestnut: Facing competition
2d agoChestnut is likely to battle with Kalel Mullings for a roster spot during training camp, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Chestnut has been with the Titans for three seasons, though he had his most extensive involvement in 2024. That came primarily via special teams, which could help him in his competition with Mullings this summer. Wyatt projects that the Titans will carry three backs on the roster with one more on the practice squad, so Chestnut could stick around even if he isn't on the active roster.

Josh Whyle TEN TE
Titans' Josh Whyle: Facing pressure for roster spot
2d agoWhyle is facing increased pressure to keep his roster spot heading into his third NFL season, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Chig Okonkwo is locked in as the Titans' top tight end, but the depth chart is uncertain thereafter. The team selected Gunnar Helm in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, who earned strong reviews during offseason workouts and is almost certainly locked into a roster spot. That sets Whyle up to battle David Martin-Robinson for third on the depth chart. Whyle took a step forward in 2024, but he's still managed only 37 receptions for 344 yards and two touchdowns across his first two seasons as a pro combined.

Roman Anthony BOS RF
Red Sox's Roman Anthony: Getting breather
8m agoAnthony is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Tampa Bay.
Anthony will get the night off Friday after making 13 consecutive starts. During that stretch, the rookie went 21-for-55 (.382) with 11 runs scored and eight RBI. Masataka Yoshida will DH while Jarren Duran, Ceddanne Rafaela and Wilyer Abreu fill the outfield from left to right.

Hunter Dobbins BOS SP
Red Sox's Hunter Dobbins: Officially called up for start
12m agoThe Red Sox activated Dobbins (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to start Friday's game against the Rays, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.
Dobbins has been on the shelf since June 22 due to a strained right elbow, but he's been cleared to rejoin the Red Sox and make a start against Tampa Bay. He threw 62 pitches in his lone rehab outing. In 12 appearances (10 starts) before sustaining the injury, Dobbins logged a 4.10 ERA and a 43:16 K:BB. Isaiah Campbell was optioned to Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move.
-
Alex Bregman BOS 3B
Red Sox's Alex Bregman: Officially activated Friday
13m agoThe Red Sox reinstated Bregman (quadriceps) from the 10-day injured list Friday, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.
The veteran third baseman will join the Red Sox to face the Rays this weekend for the final series before the All-Star break after missing seven weeks due to a quadriceps strain. Bregman is back without a rehab assignment and is expected to start in two of Boston's final three games of the first half. He's starting at third base and batting second Friday.

Carlos Vargas SEA RP
Mariners' Carlos Vargas: Placed on paternity list
18m agoThe Mariners placed Vargas on the paternity list Friday.
The All-Star break begins Monday, so it's likely Vargas will have the full weekend off for personal reasons before returning to the team after the pause. Seattle recalled Taylor Saucedo from Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move.
-
Tayler Saucedo SEA RP
Mariners' Tayler Saucedo: Back in big leagues
23m agoThe Mariners recalled Saucedo from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.
The 32-year-old will take Carlos Vargas' spot on the active roster as Vargas heads to the paternity list. Saucedo has a 3.38 ERA in 10 appearances with Tacoma, but he's yielded four runs in 3.2 innings with the Mariners in 2025. He hasn't been on the active roster since late April.
-
Kevin Herget ATL RP
Braves' Kevin Herget: Booted from 40-man roster
32m agoAtlanta designated Herget for assignment Friday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
Herget was claimed off waivers by Atlanta on May 18 but appeared in just one big-league contest with the team, throwing a scoreless inning July 1. He'll surrender his spot on the 40-man roster to Joey Wentz, who Atlanta claimed off waivers from Minnesota. Herget has a 3.68 ERA in 14.2 innings at Triple-A Gwinnett this season.

Nikola Djurisic NBADRAFT SF
Hawks' Nikola Durisic: Inks three-year deal with Hawks
36m agoThe Hawks signed Durisic to a three-year, $5.95 million contract, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Durisic was the No. 43 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, and he's set to be part of the NBA roster ahead of the 2025-26 season and is also participating in the Summer League this offseason. The 21-year-old forward has yet to make his debut with the Hawks, and he could have a hard time cracking Atlanta's rotation to open the new campaign. Durisic made 32 appearances with the G League's College Park Skyhawks in 2024-25, having averaged 10.5 points, 3.5 assists, 3.1 rebounds, and 0.8 steals in 22.8 minutes per game while shooting 37.9 percent from the field.

Javon Small MEM PG
Grizzlies' Javon Small: Signs two-way deal
2h agoSmall (rest) signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Grizzlies on Friday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Small, the No. 48 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, figures to spend the majority of his time with the Memphis Hustle early on in his career. At West Virginia, Small was a standout for the team and averaged 18.6 points, 5.6 assist, 4.1 rebounds, and 1.5 steals.

Viktor Lakhin NBADRAFT C
Thunder's Viktor Lakhin: Doesn't see floor
5h agoLakhin (foot) didn't see the floor in Thursday's 90-81 Summer League win over the Nets.
Lakhin was diagnosed with a torn tendon in his left foot back in early May. He was considered a possible second-rounder in the 2025 NBA Draft before this news. Lakhin was given a three-month timetable, and while it's unclear if he'll be involved in live action during the Summer League, it seems likely that the Thunder are looking to consider him as a possible candidate for a two-way deal.
-
Judah Mintz NBADRAFT PG
76ers' Judah Mintz: Falls flat in blowout loss
15h agoMintz totaled nine points (2-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-11 FT), three assists and one steal across 22 minutes during Thursday's 111-70 Summer League loss to San Antonio.
Mintz took a step back after dropping 21 and 26 points in his previous two Summer League matchups. However, he still managed to lead the starters in scoring by getting to the charity stripe with regularity. Mintz could have a chance to bounce back in Sunday's exhibition against the Hornets.
-
Riley Minix SA SF
Spurs' Riley Minix: Cleared for return
15h agoMinix (shoulder) finished with 14 points (5-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and two assists over 21 minutes during Thursday's 111-70 Summer League win over the 76ers.
Minix sat out the California Classic Summer League in San Francisco while completing his rehab from shoulder surgery, but he was cleared in time for Thursday's exhibition. The 24-year-old shot the ball well from beyond the arc and was one of four starters to accumulate at least five rebounds in the blowout victory.
-
Hunter Tyson DEN SF
Nuggets' Hunter Tyson: Nabs double-double in SL loss
15h agoTyson posted 12 points (4-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and two steals over 28 minutes during Thursday's 90-89 Summer League loss to Milwaukee.
Tyson wasn't shy on the offensive end, where he chucked up a team-high 14 attempts from the field. He wasn't able to get his shot to fall for the majority of the night, but his shot volume allowed him to reach double figures, and his effort on the glass resulted in a double-double. Tyson appeared in 51 regular-season games for the Nuggets a season ago, averaging 2.6 points and 1.5 rebounds in 7.8 minutes.
-
Michael Milne MIN LW
Wild's Michael Milne: Agrees to one-year contract
1h agoMilne signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Wild on Friday.
Milne had 15 goals, 26 points and 44 PIM across 60 regular-season appearances with AHL Iowa in 2024-25. He also made his NHL debut Nov. 16, recording no points and three hits in 6:34 of ice time. Milne might get another chance to play for Minnesota during the 2025-26 campaign, but he's expected to begin the upcoming season in the minors.
-
Justin Carbonneau STL RW
Blues' Justin Carbonneau: Staying in juniors
1h agoCarbonneau will be back with QMJHL Blainville-Boisbriand for the 2025-26 campaign, Scott Wheeler of The Athletic reports Friday.
Carbonneau was originally expected to attend Boston College in the fall, but instead will stay in juniors, where he can likely make a quicker transition to the NHL. In his 62 regular-season games for the Armada, the 18-year-old winger racked up 46 goals and 43 helpers before adding three more goals in five postseason tilts. The 2025 19th overall pick will likely take part in training camp this fall if he can put pen to paper on an entry-level deal.
-
Gavin Bayreuther DAL D
Hurricanes' Gavin Bayreuther: Inks two-way deal
2h agoBayreuther agreed to terms on a one-year, two-way contract with Carolina on Friday.
Bayreuther hasn't appeared in an NHL game since 2022-23 when he was with the Blue Jackets. That season, the 31-year-old blueliner notched two goals and 12 helpers in 51 regular-season tilts while averaging 15:57 of ice time. It certainly seemed like the New Hampshire native was close to becoming a full-time NHL option, but instead spent last year playing overseas with Lausanne HC, notching five goals and 18 helpers in 52 regular-season contests. At this point, if Bayreuther logs any NHL minutes, it will probably be the result of an injury among the Hurricanes' forward group.
-
Ryan Reaves SJ RW
Sharks' Ryan Reaves: Heading west in trade
17h agoReaves was traded to the Sharks from the Maple Leafs on Thursday in exchange for Henry Thrun.
Reaves' role at this stage of his career is to bring grit and leadership. That still has some intangible value, but moving to the Sharks doesn't improve his outlook on offense. Look for Reaves to be in the mix for a fourth-line role early in 2025-26, though he could be bumped to the press box if any prospects are more deserving of ice time.
-
Henry Thrun TOR D
Maple Leafs' Henry Thrun: Moved to Toronto
17h agoThrun was traded to the Maple Leafs from the Sharks on Thursday in exchange for Ryan Reaves.
This is a bit of an odd trade on the surface for the Sharks, and one that may not benefit Thrun on an individual level. San Jose's offseason acquisitions of John Klingberg, Nick Leddy and Dmitry Orlov brought a more veteran group of defenders into the mix, which may have left Thrun without a regular role in 2025-26. That said, he's no lock to play with his new team, and he almost certainly won't be in the power-play mix immediately with Toronto. Thrun had 12 points in 60 appearances in 2024-25, and if he can't win a job in training camp, he may have to spend part of the year with AHL Toronto.
-
Josh Manson COL D
Avalanche's Josh Manson: Gets two-year extension
22h agoManson signed a two-year, $7.9 million contract extension with the Avalanche on Thursday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet. His new deal runs through the 2027-28 campaign.
Manson has one season remaining on his four-year, $18 million contract, so his new agreement won't start right away. He's taking a bit of a cut in pay, but Manson will celebrate his 34th birthday Oct. 7, so the Avalanche are locking him up late into his career. Manson had a goal, 15 points, 28 PIM, 65 shots, 105 hits and 59 blocks in 48 regular-season appearances in 2024-25. He has appeared in at least 70 regular-season games in just one of the last six seasons, which is a significant concern, but Manson does offer plenty of grit from the blue line when healthy.
