Aidan Hutchinson DET DELions' Aidan Hutchinson: Doing well at practice
22h agoLions defensive line coach Kacy Rodgers said Thursday that Hutchinson (leg) has looked "really good" at voluntary offseason workouts, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Hutchinson suffered a fractured tibia and fibula roughly seven months ago, and he was initially provided a four- to six-month recovery timetable. The star pass rusher's rehab appears to have been on the quicker side, given that Detroit had expressed optimism about him returning down the stretch last season, had the team advanced all the way to the Super Bowl. Hutchinson has already resumed running at full speed and participating in individual drills, and while Rodgers noted that his workload will continue to be managed into training camp, he remains on track for Week 1. The Lions picked up Hutchinson's fifth-year option late April.

D.J. Humphries KC OTD.J. Humphries: Yet to sign reported deal with SF
2d agoHumphries and the 49ers have not yet agreed upon a contract despite a late-April report that the veteran offensive lineman had signed with the team, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
It was Humphries' representation that initially announced that the sides had agreed to a contract, but per Maiocco, that deal was never finalized. Maiocco also reports that "nothing appears imminent" between Humphries and San Francisco, making the 2015 first-round draft pick very much still a free agent. Since the reported deal, San Francisco has agreed to contracts with veteran offensive linemen Andre Dillard and Nicholas Petit-Frere, so it's unclear whether the organization has maintained interest in signing Humphries.

John Jenkins LV DTRavens' John Jenkins: Lands in Baltimore
2d agoThe Ravens signed Jenkins to a one-year contract Friday.
Jenkins is a veteran of 13 NFL campaigns who played the previous two years with Las Vegas. He logged a career-high 581 defensive snaps while starting all 17 regular-season games with the Raiders last year, totaling 46 tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and two defensed passes. Baltimore is set up front with Nnamdi Madubuike, Travis Jones and Broderick Washington, so Jenkins will likely work in a rotational role with his new squad.

Greg Zuerlein NYJ KGreg Zuerlein: Cut following failed physical
2d agoThe Jets released Zuerlein (knee) with a failed physical designation Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Zuerlein landed on injured reserve after Week 8 last season due to a left knee injury but was activated from the list prior to a Week 17 matchup with the Bills. He didn't attempt a kick in that game and then was placed on IR afterward, ending his campaign having made nine of 15 field-goal attempts and 13 of 14 point-after tries. The Jets announced the current move earlier Friday, but the reason for his release wasn't known until the NFL posted its transaction log for the day. New York will move forward with Anders Carlson and undrafted rookie Caden Davis this offseason, while the 37-year-old Zuerlein presumably will need to prove his health in order to earn another opportunity.

Greg Joseph NYJ K49ers' Greg Joseph: Headed to 49ers
2d agoThe 49ers are slated to sign Joseph, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
In a combined eight regular-season appearances in 2024 (split between the Giants, Commanders and Jets), Joseph made 16 of 20 field-goal attempts, along with all 11 of his PAT tries. With the 49ers, Joseph will have an opportunity to compete with 2023 third-rounder Jake Moody, who has been San Francisco's kicker for the last two campaigns.
-
Brock Purdy SF QB49ers' Brock Purdy: Gets massive five-year extension
2d agoPurdy and the 49ers agreed to terms Friday on a five-year, $265 million contract extension, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Purdy's new deal has been the largest domino waiting to fall of San Francisco's offseason, and the 2022 seventh-round pick now gains long-term commitment from the team via a contract that runs through 2030, and which includes $181 million in total guarantees. The 25-year-old is coming off a down season, having dipped essentially across the board in most passing metrics while throwing just 20 touchdowns, as opposed to the 31 passing scores he logged in 2023. San Francisco's offense as a whole tumbled in 2024, though, an outcome that can in no small part be blamed on injuries to Brandon Aiyuk (ACL) and Christian McCaffrey (knee). The 49ers also inked George Kittle to a four-year extension this offseason, a particularly notable signing given that the standout tight end may operate as Purdy's top pass catcher to kick off the 2025 season, considering Deebo Samuel has been traded to Washington and Aiyuk is still in the process of recovering. Still, with McCaffrey back in action, plus Jauan Jennings, Ricky Pearsall and Demarcus Robinson available to lead the wide-receiver room until Aiyuk is 100 percent, Purdy will have no shortage of offensive weapons at his disposal as he works to make the first year under his new deal a comeback season.

Patrick Bailey SF CGiants' Patrick Bailey: Resting Sunday
4m agoBailey isn't part of the Giants' starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
Bailey caught Games 1 and 2 of the three-game set against the A's, and he'll get a much-deserved day off Sunday. In his place, Sam Huff will catch and bat seventh.
-
Tyler Fitzgerald SF 2BGiants' Tyler Fitzgerald: Not in lineup
6m agoFitzgerald isn't part of the starting nine for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
Fitzgerald will get a day off after making back-to-back starts following his activation from the 10-day injured list Friday. In his place, Christian Koss will bat ninth and play second base.
-
Kade Strowd BAL RPOrioles' Kade Strowd: Back in big leagues
7m agoThe Orioles recalled Strowd from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.
The right-hander was promoted for one day in late April and will rejoin the Orioles with Kyle Gibson being designated for assignment. Strowd has a 7.47 ERA and 25:7 K:BB over 15.2 innings for Norfolk this season and is looking to make his MLB debut.
-
Tommy Edman LAD 2BDodgers' Tommy Edman: Activated and in lineup
12m agoEdman (ankle) has been activated from the 10-day injured list and will bad sixth and play center field Sunday against the Angels, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.
Edman landed on the injured list April 30 after tweaking his right ankle but recovered slower than anticipated. He's finally healthy enough to rejoin the active roster and immediately joins the starting nine. Edman slashed .252/.295/.523 with eight home runs in 122 plate appearances before the injury. The Dodgers designated Chris Taylor for assignment in a corresponding move.
-
Drew Waters KC LFRoyals' Drew Waters: Out of Sunday's starting nine
17m agoWaters is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
The switch-hitting outfielder went 2-for-10 with three strikeouts while starting the previous three games, but he'll hit the bench for Sunday's series finale versus St. Louis. Hunter Renfroe will take over in right field for Waters against lefty Matthew Liberatore.
-
Chris Taylor LAD LFDodgers' Chris Taylor: Being DFA"d
17m agoThe Dodgers are expected to designate Taylor for assignment Sunday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Taylor has been in the starting lineup just six times this season and is slashing .200/.200/.257 with a 37.1 percent strikeout rate in 35 plate appearances, so it's not a major surprise to see him dropped from the 40-man roster. Still, the veteran utility player could draw some interest on waivers. The move could open up a spot for Tommy Edman (ankle), who's nearing a return from the 10-day injured list.

Aaron Gordon DEN PFNuggets' Aaron Gordon: Dealing with Grade 2 strain
4h agoGordon, who is listed as questionable for Sunday's Game 7 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Thunder, has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 left hamstring strain, and it now appears "physically improbable" that he suits up, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Gordon sustained the hamstring injury in the final minutes of Thursday's Game 6 win. Charania reported that the 29-year-old forward is exploring ways to play in Sunday's win-or-go-home matchup, though realistically, he would need several weeks to recover from the injury. If Gordon is unable to suit up, Peyton Watson, Julian Strawther and Russell Westbrook (hand) are candidates for an uptick in playing time.

Mikal Bridges NY SGKnicks' Mikal Bridges: Tables 22 points Friday
17h agoBridges recorded 22 points (9-15 FG, 4-6 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 30 minutes during Friday's 119-81 win over the Celtics in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Bridges chipped in across the board, continuing what has been a strong postseason showing. Although his scoring has been a little up and down, his ability to dominate on the defensive end of the floor has been invaluable. Across 12 playoff appearances, Bridges is averaging 15.4 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.8 three-pointers and 3.0 combined steals and blocks.
-
Karl-Anthony Towns NY CKnicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Goes for 21 and 12 in Game 6 win
17h agoTowns finished Friday's 119-81 victory over the Celtics in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with 21 points (8-20 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 35 minutes.
Towns dominated the undermanned Celtics, racking up his seventh double-double in the past eight games. Although his scoring average has come down during the playoffs, his importance to this team is non-negotiable. After averaging 23.8 points per game during the regular season, that number has dropped to 19.8 across 12 postseason games. The Knicks will now face the Pacers in what promises to be a spicy matchup, with both teams looking to advance to the big dance.
-
Al Horford BOS CCeltics' Al Horford: Empty performance Friday
17h agoHorford posted 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt) and two rebounds in 27 minutes during Friday's 119-81 loss to the Knicks in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Horford didn't have a tangible impact, going down with the ship as Boston was bundled out of the playoffs. Tasked with playing a bigger role than expected during the postseason due to the fact that Kristaps Porzingis was dealing with an ongoing illness, Horford had some moments but was largely a wash, at best. He played 60 games during the regular season, averaging 9.0 points, 6.2 rebounds and 0.9 blocks in 27.6 minutes per game.
-
Derrick White BOS SGCeltics' Derrick White: Quiet in Game 6 loss
17h agoWhite accumulated eight points (3-11 FG, 2-8 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Friday's 119-81 loss to New York in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
White saved his worst for last, joining his teammates by putting up arguably the Celtics' most disappointing performance of the season. Despite the rough ending, it was another strong season for White, who demonstrated his elite two-way skills while averaging 16.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 0.9 steals, 1.1 blocks and 3.5 three-pointers. With Jayson Tatum set to miss a sizeable chunk of the 2025-26 season due to an Achilles injury, White's importance to this team can't be overstated.
-
Hunter Tyson DEN SFNuggets' Hunter Tyson: Questionable for series finale
19h agoTyson (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's Game 7 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Thunder.
Tyson has missed the last three games of the series due to a right ankle sprain. Even if he's upgraded to available, he isn't expected to play a significant role in the rotation. Tyson has averaged a mere 5.3 minutes per game across four postseason appearances.
-
Evan Rodrigues FLA CPanthers' Evan Rodrigues: Set to play Sunday
1h agoRodrigues (undisclosed) is expected to play against Toronto on Sunday in Game 7, according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.
Rodrigues will probably return to a top-six role after missing the last two games. He has contributed three assists, 16 shots on goal and 19 hits across nine appearances this postseason. Rodrigues will replace Jesper Boqvist in Sunday's lineup versus the Maple Leafs.
-
Joseph Woll TOR GMaple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Between pipes for Game 7
2h agoWoll will patrol the home crease in Game 7 against Florida on Sunday, per Luke Fox of Sportsnet.
Woll is coming off a 22-save performance in Friday's 2-0 shutout win over the Panthers in Game 6. He has a 3-3 record with a 3.28 GAA and an .893 save percentage across six appearances this postseason. However, Woll has been stellar in elimination games during his NHL playoff career, going 4-1 with a 1.13 GAA, a .958 save percentage and one shutout.
-
Anthony Stolarz TOR GMaple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: Remains unavailable
2h agoStolarz (upper body) won't be an option for the Game 7 home matchup versus Florida on Sunday, Jonas Siegel of The Athletic reports.
Stolarz has been skating but still hasn't resumed practicing yet. He will miss his sixth straight game and still doesn't have an exact timeline for his return to the lineup. Joseph Woll will start in Game 7 versus the Panthers on Sunday, while Matt Murray will be the backup.
-
Matthew Knies TOR LWMaple Leafs' Matthew Knies: Ready to rock
2h agoKnies (undisclosed) will play in Game 7 against Florida on Sunday, per Kristen Shilton of ESPN.
Knies sustained an injury late in the first period during Friday's 2-0 win over the Panthers in Game 6. He didn't leave the contest but logged only 13:01 of playing time. However, Knies will see regular deployment in Game 7 against Florida while skating on the top line and seeing time on the first power-play combination. He has registered five goals, seven points, 29 shots on net, seven blocked shots and 31 hits through 12 appearances this postseason.
-
Gabriel Vilardi WPG CJets' Gabriel Vilardi: Picks up assist
14h agoVilardi recorded an assist in Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Stars in Game 6.
Vilardi picked up four points over six games in the second round. That was an improvement for the 25-year-old after he was held off the scoresheet in three first-round outings following his return from an upper-body injury. Vilardi added 21 shots on net, 11 hits, eight blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over nine playoff outings. He was a regular in the Jets' top six in 2024-25, earning 27 goals and 61 points in 71 regular-season games. He's a restricted free agent this offseason, but he should be back in the fold for 2025-26 once he signs a new deal.
-
Kyle Connor WPG LWJets' Kyle Connor: Records helper in loss
14h agoConnor notched an assist and four shots on goal in Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Stars in Game 6.
Connor closed the postseason on a four-game point streak (one goal, four assists). The winger totaled five goals, 12 helpers, 45 shots on net, 11 hits and a plus-4 rating over 13 playoff appearances while frequently looking like the best player on the ice for the Jets. After a strong playoff run and a career-best 97-point regular season, Connor is poised for big things in 2025-26, which is a contract year for the 28-year-old.
