The left tackle suffered the injuries in the Rams' wild-card win over the Cardinals on Monday, leaving the game in the first half before returning.

2h agoLong (knee) appears to have suffered a minor injury Monday night, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
The cornerback left Monday's wild-card win over the Cardinals early with a knee injury, but the initial feedback on the issue is positive according to head coach Sean McVay.

Elijah Mitchell SF RB49ers' Elijah Mitchell: Limited practice on tap
2h agoMitchell (knee) will practice in a limited capacity Tuesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
As has been the norm for Mitchell since he sat out Weeks 14-16 due to knee irritation, he's again experiencing practice limitations, likely to keep him as fresh as possible with the 49ers in the midst of the playoffs. In three games in the meantime, he's served as the team's workhorse running back en route to 69 carries for 300 yards and one touchdown to go with three catches (on four targets) for no yards and another score. Thursday's injury report will reveal whether or not Mitchell goes into the weekend with a designation for Saturday's divisional-round contest at Green Bay.

The linebacker's ability to practice in any capacity is a positive sign for his chances to play in the team's divisional-round matchup with the Packers on Saturday, though his status the rest of the week will provide the clearer indication.

Oswalt threw a total of 27.1 innings as a member of the Mets in 2021, 10.1 of which came with the big-league club. He managed an impressive 10:2 K:BB, but his next challenge will be proving that he has overcome knee inflammation that ended his season in early July. While he was unable to return to the big-league mound, Oswalt was in the midst of a rehab assignment at the close of the campaign, meaning it is likely that he will be healthy for spring training.
-

5d agoGonzalez signed a minor-league contract with the Marlins in November, per the MLB transactions log.

The 33-year-old Reimer is now 12-7-1 with a 2.65 GAA and a .918 save percentage in 21 games this season. He'll likely split the goaltending duties with Adin Hill going forward.
