Jones is not partaking in the first week of Atlanta's voluntary offseason program while he attends the grand opening of his car dealership in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

Jones missed the entirety of the team's 2017 offseason program due to foot surgery, so head coach Dan Quinn's announcement in March indicating that Jones would participate in this year's workouts was news well-received by every tier of the Falcons' organization. Quinn reported that there is no cause for concern regarding Jones being absent in the early going. "It's not mandatory," Quinn said this week from the team facility, "but we knew (he wasn't) going to be here." Jones' prompt return to workouts is expected, as he aims to continue building rapport with Matt Ryan and the rest of the receiving corps.

McKay was released by the Bears on Thursday.

McKay spent part of the 2017 season on the Bears' practice squad but never appeared in a regular season game. He'll look to make an opening day roster with another team in 2018.

Williams signed a contract with the Bears on Thursday.

Williams last played in 2016, recording eight tackles while playing in 10 games combined with the Dolphins and Chiefs. If he makes the Bears' roster in 2018 it will likely be as a depth lineman and special teams player.

Brown signed a contract with the Bears on Thursday, Patrick Finley of The Chicago Sun Times reports.

Brown didn't play in 2017 after being waived by Denver before the start of the regular season. He last saw regular season action while with the Ravens in 2015, recording 112 yards on 14 catches in 10 games. He'll be looking to get a spot near the bottom of the Bears' receiver depth chart in 2018.

Dunker (foot) was waived by the Giants on Thursday, Michael Eisen of the Giants' official site reports.

Dunker spent his entire rookie season on injured reserve due to a foot injury. It's unclear what the specifics of his injury were or if it will impact him going forward. He'll look to get healthy and catch on with another team in 2018.

Freeney is officially retiring from the NFL and will do so as a Colt, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.

Freeney played with the Colts from 2002 to 2012, recording 107.5 sacks in his 11 years with the team. In all, Freeney recorded 332 tackles, including 125.5 sacks in his 16 year NFL career. He spent the last five seasons bouncing between the Chargers, Cardinals, Falcons, Seahawks, and finally the Lions.

Coach Steve Kerr said that Livingston (ankle) should 'be ok' after suffering the injury in Game 3 against the Spurs, Monte Poole of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

The Warriors had a couple of scares Thursday with Livingston and Kevin Durant both suffering ankle injuries. While Kerr implied that Livingston's was slightly worse than Durant's, it does not appear that Livingston is expected to miss much time. The Warriors have two full days off for Livingston to get treatment before making a final call on his status for Game 4.

Livingston headed to the locker room late in Thursday's playoff contest against the Spurs with a left ankle injury, Monte Poole of NBC Sports reports.

Livingston had himself a great game Thursday, scoring 16 points (4-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-8 FT) to go along with three rebounds and one assist. The injury itself looked not much more than a tweak, and with a full two days separating now and the Warriors next game, Livingston will have some time to recuperate. If the injury ends up limiting or excluding the point guard from action, expect Quinn Cook to pick up additional minutes.

Durant went back to the locker room after appearing to roll his ankle Thursday against the Spurs, Marcus Thompson of The Athletic Bay Area reports.

After initially going to the bench, Durant headed back to the locker room for further evaluation but did not appear to be limping. That Durant did not return to Thursday's game after turning his ankle may be more precautionary than anything considering that the Warriors held a commanding lead over the Spurs. Durant will have two full days to get treatment before Game 4.

Johnson scored 12 points (4-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT) while adding seven rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal across 32 minutes in Thursday's 128-108 loss to the 76ers.

Johnson's 12-point total in Game 3 was his lowest of the series so far, but his efficiency was bound to decrease after shooting 75 percent through the first two games. His production across the board makes up for his lower efficiency, but Johnson will be needed offensively if the Heat want to climb back into the series in Game 4.

Olynyk contributed nine points (2-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five assists, three rebounds, three blocks and one steal across 36 minutes in Thursday's 128-108 loss to the 76ers.

Olynyk saw plenty of run in Game 3 due to Hasaan Whiteside's early foul trouble, but didn't capitalize on it, failing to reach double-digit points for the first time this series. He has seen 30-plus minutes in each game of this series, but may be called upon more defensively in the paint now that Joel Embiid has returned from injury.

Winslow collected 19 points (4-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 27 minutes in Thursday's 128-108 loss to the 76ers.

After failing to post double-digit scoring totals in the first two games, Winslow contributed 19 points off the bench in Game 3, mostly in part to his 66 percent shooting from three. Winslow has shown his ability to play both solid offense and defense when on the court, and with the Heat down 2-1, they may turn to Winslow as one of the possible solutions to their struggles.

Jenner scored a goal in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Capitals in Game 4.

His first goal of the series came just over six minutes into the third period, giving the Jackets a brief flash of hope after they fell behind 3-0 on Thursday. Jenner found the scoresheet just twice in his final nine regular-season games, so it's little surprise that he's been able to muster only two points so far in the postseason. The 24-year-old is skating on the second power-play unit for Columbus, but his fantasy ceiling is still limited for the duration of the team's playoff run.

Bobrovsky stopped 29 of 32 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Capitals in Game 4.

He's now allowed at least three goals in each game this series, posting a 2.73 GAA and .921 save percentage as the Jackets let a 2-0 series lead slip through their fingers on home ice. Bobrovsky will need to be sharper if the team is going to steal another win in Washington on Saturday.

Wilson scored a goal and an assist in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Blue Jackets in Game 4.

He fired a team-leading seven shots on net and dished three hits with a plus-3 rating while also picking up a minor penalty for the fourth straight game. Wilson's two goals and three points through four games are solid, but it's his physical play that's helped the Caps even the series after falling behind 0-2. Expect him to continue asserting himself Saturday back in the Washington for Game 5.

Ovechkin scored a goal and added a power-play assist in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Blue Jackets in Game 4.

That's now three straight multi-point efforts for Ovechkin, who has three goals and six points through four games so far. With the Caps suddenly in the driver's seat again as the series shifts back to Washington for Game 5 on Saturday, expect the 32-year-old to stay hot.

Kuznetsov scored a goal and two assists in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Blue Jackets in Game 4.

The Caps' top line did most of the damage in this one, with Kuznetsov, Alex Ovechkin and Tom Wilson combining for three goals and seven points. The 25-year-old was held off the scoresheet in each of the two prior contests, but he still has three goals and five points in the series heading into Game 5 on Saturday back in Washington.

Holtby made 23 saves in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Blue Jackets in Game 4.

After watching from the bench through most of the first two games in the series, Holtby's re-insertion into the lineup has lit a fire under the Caps, and he's led them to two straight wins to even things up against Columbus. He'll carry a .940 save percentage into Game 5 back in Washington on Saturday.
