Nolen's absence for the start of OTAs comes after the 22-year-old suffered a non-contact knee injury in Week 16 of the 2025 NFL season. The second-year starter still faces an unclear timetable for his return, but time will tell if Nolen is ready for the start of the 2026 campaign.

DeMarvion Overshown DAL LBCowboys' DeMarvion Overshown: Appears to be healthy
5h agoOvershown has no injury designation Monday as he progresses through the Cowboys' offseason program, Joseph Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Overshown missed 12 games in 2025 after dealing with a lingering knee injury to begin the season and sitting out the Cowboys' final two contests with a concussion. The 25-year-old is expected to participate in his healthiest offseason since his rookie year and looks to build on the 28 tackles (15 solo) through six games in 2025.

Taysom Hill NO QBTaysom Hill: Unlikely to return to NOLA
6h agoSaints GM Mickey Loomis said Monday that the team has not offered Hill a contract to return to New Orleans, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
It appears the team is moving on from the 35-year-old fan favorite. Hill has spent all nine seasons of his career with the Saints as a jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none type of player who saw snaps at quarterback, running back, wide receiver and tight end across 118 career regular-season games. The free agent hasn't drawn any known interest this offseason after appearing in 13 contests last regular season. He rushed 52 times for 114 yards and one touchdown, averaging a career-low 2.2 yards per carry after averaging at least 5.0 yards per attempt in each of his previous eight campaigns.
-
Alvin Kamara NO RBSaints' Alvin Kamara: Decision coming soon
7h agoSaints GM Mickey Loomis said Monday that the team will make a decision on Kamara's (knee) future with the team in "the next week or two," Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Loomis was mum on the subject, saying the Saints are "just trying to see how he's going to fit in on our roster," while adding that Kamara has not been offered a revamped contract. Kamara will turn 31 years old this summer and has spent his entire nine-year career with New Orleans, but the Saints signed Travis Etienne to a four-year, $48 million deal over the offseason. Both Kamara ($12.25 million per year) and Etienne ($12 million) are two of the 10 highest-paid running backs in the league, making it hard to envision the Saints paying both of them big money in 2026. Kamara has previously hinted that he'd only play for the Saints or retire. He averaged a career-worst 3.6 yards per carry on 131 attempts last season, rushing for just one touchdown. A once-prolific pass catcher out of the backfield, Kamara also averaged a career-low 5.6 yards per reception in 2025.

Lucas Spence HOU OFAstros' Lucas Spence: Returns from IL
1m agoSpence (undisclosed) was activated from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.
Spence landed on the minor-league injured list at the end of April with an unspecified injury, but he's back on the field after completing a brief rehab stint. He's collected a pair of RBI and one stolen base in four appearances since being activated.
-
Michael Stefanic ATH 2BAthletics' Michael Stefanic: Will report to Triple-A
8m agoStefanic was sent outright to Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday, Jason Burke of SI.com reports.
Stefanic was booted from the 40-man roster Saturday, and after going unclaimed on waivers, he'll head to Triple-A. The 30-year-old appeared in two games for the A's and went 2-for-5 with one run scored during his brief time with the big-league club.
-
Chase Petty CIN PReds' Chase Petty: Tough showing at Triple-A
13m agoPetty (blister) took the loss after allowing seven runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out one over three innings against Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday.
Petty battled a blister on his pitching hand in his previous start, but he was cleared to toe the rubber Sunday. He turned in one of his worst outings of the 2026 season, tying a season high in hits allowed and runs allowed. Unless the team states otherwise, Petty appears to have put the blister behind him.

Ethan Roberts CHC RPCubs' Ethan Roberts: Allows first run Monday
17m agoRoberts allowed a run on three hits and a walk across 1.2 innings of relief in Monday's 9-3 loss to the Brewers.
Roberts got the call early with Shota Imanaga getting shelled for eight runs in only 4.1 innings of work. The former slowed down Milwaukee a bit, though he did allow his first run of the season in the process. Roberts is still sitting with a stellar 0.96 ERA in 9.1 innings across seven appearances this year, and he might need to take on a larger bullpen role moving forward with Caleb Thielbar (hamstring) and Riley Martin (elbow) both on the 15-day injured list, and Hunter Harvey (triceps) on the 60-day injured list.
-
Kayson Cunningham ARI SS
Diamondbacks' Kayson Cunningham: Activated from MiLB IL
25m agoCunningham (concussion) was activated from the 7-day injured list Friday.
Cunningham landed on the injured list May 8 after suffering a concussion, but he returned over the weekend for Single-A Fresno. He's 3-for-14 with three RBI, two stolen bases and four runs scored in three games since being activated.
-
Ty Blach CHC SPCubs' Ty Blach: Effective in team debut
25m agoBlach tossed three scoreless innings of relief in Monday's 9-3 loss to the Brewers. He allowed one hit and struck out two.
Blach had his contract selected from Triple-A Iowa on Sunday, and he made his team debut a day later. The lefty, who last appeared in the majors for Colorado back in 2024, looked good, albeit in a low-leverage spot with the Cubs already down six runs when he entered the contest. Blach replaced Javier Assad on the roster for now, though the latter could be back in short order after a stint in Iowa.

Dylan Harper SA PGSpurs' Dylan Harper: Starting sans Fox
3h agoHarper will start Monday's Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals against the Thunder.
With De'Aaron Fox (ankle) unavailable, Harper will draw his first career postseason start. The rookie first-rounder played well in the second-round series against the Timberwolves, during which he averaged 14.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.2 steals in 24.8 minutes per contest across six outings.
-
Ajay Mitchell OKC PGThunder's Ajay Mitchell: Retreating to bench
3h agoMitchell will come off the bench for Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals against the Spurs on Monday, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
Mitchell filled in admirably during the semifinals against the Lakers, averaging 22.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.8 steals over four games. He'll head back to a bench role with Jalen Williams set to return from a hamstring injury, though Mitchell should remain a key contributor within the Thunder rotation.
-
Luke Kornet SA CSpurs' Luke Kornet: Good to go Monday
3h agoKornet (foot) is available for Monday's Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals against the Thunder, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
Kornet will shed his questionable tag due to left foot soreness and suit up in Oklahoma City. Over six second-round appearances against the Timberwolves, the big man averaged 3.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.6 combined steals-plus-blocks in 13.8 minutes per tilt.
-
De'Aaron Fox SA PGSpurs' De'Aaron Fox: Ruled out Monday
3h agoFox (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals against the Thunder, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.
Although head coach Mitch Johnson said earlier that the expectation was for Fox to play, he has now been ruled out for the opening matchup of the Western Conference Finals. His next chance to play will come in Game 2 on Wednesday. With the star guard sidelined, Dylan Harper and Keldon Johnson will likely take on expanded roles.

Luke Kornet SA C
Spurs' Luke Kornet: Will attempt to play in Game 1
4h agoKornet (foot) will do everything he can to suit up for Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals against the Thunder on Monday, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports.
Kornet remains listed as questionable for Monday's clash due to a left foot injury, but the Spurs expect him to give it a go. Head coach Mitch Johnson noted that both Kornet and De'Aaron Fox (ankle) will continue to deal with their respective injuries even if they're cleared to play, so it's safe to assume that neither player will be at full strength. The Spurs should have official word on Kornet's availability closer to tipoff.

De'Aaron Fox SA PG
Spurs' De'Aaron Fox: Expected to play in Game 1
4h agoHead coach Mitch Johnson said he expects Fox (ankle) to play in Monday's Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals against the Thunder, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports.
Fox is still dealing with a lingering right ankle issue, though he has yet to miss a game this postseason and is trending toward playing Monday. Over six games in the Western Conference Semifinals against the Timberwolves, the star guard averaged 17.7 points, 5.0 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 31.5 minutes per contest.

Jakub Dobes MON GCanadiens' Jakub Dobes: Called upon for Game 7
4h agoDobes will guard the road crease in Monday's Game 7 against the Sabres, per Heather Engel of NHL.com.
Dobes will be called upon for his second consecutive Game 7 and his 15th start in a row, dating back to the end of the regular season. He'll look to bounce back after being pulled midway through the third period in Game 6, allowing Jacob Fowler to experience his first taste of NHL playoff hockey. In Montreal's series against Buffalo, the 24-year-old Dobes has a 3-3-0 record, a 3.31 GAA and an .884 save percentage across six outings. Monday's win-or-go-home matchup will be a true test for the young netminder, who has yet to lose consecutive games in this postseason.

Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen BUF GSabres' Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen: Looking to advance to ECF
4h agoLuukkonen will be between the home pipes for Game 7 against the Canadiens on Monday, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.
Luukkonen didn't get the start in Saturday's Game 6 win, but he replaced Alex Lyon in the first period and helped the Sabres force a Game 7 in Buffalo. The 27-year-old Luukkonen has stopped 65 of 72 shots during this second-round series, going 2-1 across three appearances. Overall in the 2026 postseason, the Finnish netminder is 3-2 with a 3.36 GAA and an .875 save percentage over five outings. The Canadiens are making a few changes to their bottom six for Game 7, including Oliver Kapanen drawing into the lineup for Joe Veleno.
-
Filip Gustavsson MIN GWild's Filip Gustavsson: Set for offseason surgery
9h agoGustavsson will undergo hip surgery in the offseason, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports Monday.
According to general manager Bill Guerin, Gustavsson's availability for the start of the 2026-27 season won't be known until after his procedure. On top of that concern for fantasy managers, the fact that the 27-year-old backstop was effectively benched for the postseason in favor of Jesper Wallstedt will raise questions about who is the No. 1 option heading into next season.
-
Carl Lindbom LV G
Golden Knights' Carl Lindbom: Summoned from AHL
10h agoLindbom was recalled from AHL Henderson on Monday, SinBin.vegas reports.
Lindbom will join Vegas' Black Aces ahead of Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals against Colorado on Wednesday. According to the AHL transaction log, the Golden Knights summoned Tanner Laczynski, Raphael Lavoie, Jonas Rondbjerg, Kai Uchacz and Jeremy Davies from AHL Henderson on Thursday.

Chase Bradley COL LW
Avalanche's Chase Bradley: Three-point effort Sunday
1d agoBradley scored twice and added an assist in AHL Colorado's 4-1 win over Coachella Valley in Game 3 on Sunday.
Bradley is up to three goals and three assists over nine playoff contests. He had just 12 points in 42 regular-season outings this year, so his production in the postseason, while not elite, is a good sign. The 24-year-old will remain with the Eagles as long as their playoff run is active.
-
Sam Malinski COL DAvalanche's Sam Malinski: Could return Wednesday
1d agoMalinski (upper body) participated fully in Sunday's practice and is trending toward being ready for Game 1 against Vegas on Wednesday, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.
