Khalil Dinkins SF TE49ers' Khalil Dinkins: Placed on NFI list
22h 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
22h 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.

Samuel Basallo BAL COrioles' Samuel Basallo: Leaves game early Sunday
7m agoBasallo exited Sunday's game against Houston early with right shoulder discomfort, Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com reports.
After just one at-bat in the top of the second inning, Basallo was pulled from the game in the bottom of the inning. The Orioles announced that the 21-year-old was bothered by discomfort in his right shoulder. Sam Huff has replaced Basallo behind the plate and fifth in the order.
-
JP Sears SD SPPadres' JP Sears: Remaining in rotation
29m agoSears is scheduled to start Monday's game against Atlanta, Barrett Sallee of 680 The Fan Atlanta reports.
The left-hander will stick in San Diego's rotation coming out of the All-Star break even though German Marquez and Randy Vasquez have both been reinstated from the injured list. Sears has made four starts for San Diego this season and has a 5.03 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 17:8 K:BB across 19.2 innings.
-
Ryan Helsley BAL RPOrioles' Ryan Helsley: Sent to 60-day IL
40m agoBaltimore transferred Helsley to the 60-day injured list Sunday.
Despite not suffering any structural damage to his UCL, Baltimore decided to transfer Helsley to the 60-day IL as he will miss an extended period of time. The Orioles are optimistic that the 31-year-old will return to the mound before the end of the season. Expect to see Tyler Wells and Andrew Kittredge out of the closer role for the time being, with both relievers totaling three saves each.
-
Cam Sanders BAL RPOrioles' Cam Sanders: Demoted to Norfolk
1h agoBaltimore optioned Sanders to Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.
After picking up a win and his first career save in two outings with the big-league club since being called up on Friday, Sanders is going back to Triple-A. The 29-year-old went a combined 1.2 innings, recording two strikeouts for the Orioles. Sam Huff will replace Sanders on the active roster as the corresponding move.
-
Corey Seager TEX SSRangers' Corey Seager: Progressing to cage work
1h agoSeager (back) is scheduled to hit soft toss in the batting cage Sunday in addition to fielding groundballs, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
Seager continues to do light baseball activities as he works his way back from lower-back inflammation, which sent him to the injured list at the start of July after spending time on the IL with the same injury earlier in the campaign. The veteran shortstop is without an official timeline for his return but doesn't seem likely to be back in the immediate future. According to Landry, the Rangers expect Seager to be back "eventually" this season.
-
Zach McKinstry DET 2BTigers' Zach McKinstry: On the bench Sunday
1h agoMcKinstry is out of the lineup for the series finale against the Angels on Sunday, Chris McKosky of The Detroit News reports.
McKinstry will take a rare day off, marking his first rest day in over a month since June 17. Kevin McGonigle will leadoff and play shortstop, while Hao-Yu Lee will play second base and bat seventh for the Tigers.

Ryan Nembhard DAL PGHawks' Ryan Nembhard: Sent to Atlanta
2h agoThe Mavericks traded Nembhard (illness) to the Hawks on Sunday in exchange for Zaccharie Risacher as part of a three-team deal with the Thunder, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
The Hawks will receive Nembhard and Luguentz Dort, while the Thunder acquire three second-round picks. While his minutes weren't always very consistent, Nembhard played a fairly meaningful role for the Mavericks in his rookie campaign. Over 60 regular-season appearances (27 starts) in 2025-26, the 23-year-old point guard averaged 6.6 points, 5.3 assists and 2.2 rebounds in 19.5 minutes per contest. He figures to provide depth behind CJ McCollum and Kingston Flemings (rest).

Zaccharie Risacher ATL SFMavericks' Zaccharie Risacher: Dealt to Dallas
3h agoRisacher was traded to the Mavericks on Sunday as part of a three-team deal that sent Luguentz Dort and Ryan Nembhard (illness) to the Hawks and three second-round picks to the Thunder, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
After being selected No. 1 overall in the 2024 NBA Draft, Risacher's tenure in Atlanta comes to an end as he'll head to Dallas. In 67 regular-season games (46 starts) with the Hawks during the 2025-26 campaign, the wing averaged 9.6 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 22.4 minutes per contest. Risacher still has much to prove heading into his third NBA season and will likely slot into a reserve role with the Mavericks, competing with the likes of Klay Thompson, Naji Marshall and Santi Aldama for playing time.

Luguentz Dort OKC SFHawks' Luguentz Dort: Traded to Atlanta
3h agoThe Thunder traded Dort to the Hawks on Sunday in exchange for three second-round picks as part of a three-team deal with the Mavericks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
The Thunder picked up the defensive-minded swingman's $17.7 million team option in June but are now flipping him for draft capital. The Hawks will receive Dort and Ryan Nembhard (illness), while the Mavericks acquire 2024 No. 1 overall pick Zaccharie Risacher. Dort's production took a fairly significant hit in 2025-26, during which he averaged 8.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.9 steals while shooting just 38.5 percent from the field in 26.8 minutes per game across 69 regular-season appearances. He figures to play significant minutes thanks to his defensive prowess, though he could come off the bench behind Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Dyson Daniels.

Moussa Cisse DAL CMavericks' Moussa Cisse: Sticking around in Dallas
15h agoCisse will return to the Mavericks after Dallas matched the two-year, $4.7 million offer sheet he received from the Knicks on Saturday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Dallas wasted little time matching the Knicks' offer to keep Cisse in the fold, though the 6-foot-11 center will now occupy a standard roster spot after serving as a two-way player as a undrafted rookie in 2025-26. He appeared in 38 games at the NBA level last season, shooting 57.4 percent from the field while averaging 4.5 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 13.9 minutes per game. Cisse may have a tough time cracking the rotation with regularity in 2026-27 if Dereck Lively (foot) and Daniel Gafford are fully healthy. The Mavericks also acquired Santi Aldama and Morez Johnson earlier in the offseason and could also look to incorporate them at center.

Markquis Nowell NBADRAFT PGPelicans' Markquis Nowell: Dishes out six assists in SL loss
16h agoNowell notched 14 points (4-12 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six assists, two steals and one rebound across 31 minutes in Saturday's 91-73 Summer League loss to the Pacers.
Nowell wasn't very efficient but still finished as the Pelicans' second-leading scorer. Additionally, the 26-year-old point guard dished out a team-high six assists. He reached the 20-point mark in two of his five Las Vegas Summer League appearances, reaching double figures in three of those outings.
-
Jalen Slawson IND SFPacers' Jalen Slawson: Another strong SL outing
16h agoSlawson finished Saturday's 91-73 Summer League win over the Pelicans with 22 points (8-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, four blocks and one steal over 29 minutes.
As he's done for much of the Summer League, Slawson made his presence felt on both ends of the floor. He scored 10 of his team-high 22 points in the fourth quarter while also leading the Pacers with five stocks. Slawson appeared in only 13 regular-season games for Indiana in 2025-26 but averaged 23.9 minutes per contest. He could carve himself out a consistent role in the Pacers' rotation for 2026-27 if he extends his strong Summer League play into training camp and the preseason.

Isac Lundestrom CLB CBlue Jackets' Isac Lundestrom: Set to miss start of season
12m 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 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 also 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
22h 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
3d 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.
