RJ Harvey DEN RBBroncos' RJ Harvey: Full go at minicamp
1h agoBroncos coach Sean Payton said Monday that Harvey (shoulder) is a "full go" at mandatory minicamp, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Harvey underwent an offseason procedure to repair a torn labrum in his shoulder, but the 2025 second-round pick already appears fully cleared for all practice activity. Payton said Harvey is having a "real good" offseason so far. Harvey projects to remain a key playmaker out of the backfield for Denver in Year 2, though he faces notable competition for touches from veteran J.K. Dobbins and rookie fourth-round pick Jonah Coleman. While suiting up for all 17 regular-season games as a rookie, Harvey rushed 146 times for 540 yards and seven touchdowns while securing 47 of 58 targets for 356 yards and another five scores.

Bo Nix DEN QBBroncos' Bo Nix: On field at minicamp
2h agoNix (ankle) is participating in practice at mandatory minicamp on Monday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Broncos coach Sean Payton also stated Monday that Nix will be cleared for the start of training camp in July, per Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com. The third-year signal-caller is recovering from surgery undergone in late January to address a right ankle fracture, and he's expected to be fully healthy well in advance of the regular season. He also opted to undergo an additional cleanup procedure to address bone spurs, per Stevens. Nix has been productive as both a passer and runner through his first two NFL seasons, and Denver's addition of Jaylen Waddle gives him another significant weapon alongside Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin (hamstring), Pat Bryant, Marvin Mims and tight end Evan Engram.

Michael Penix Jr. ATL QBFalcons' Michael Penix: Still not ready for 11-on-11 drills
2h agoFalcons coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Penix (ACL) has not been cleared to participate in 11-on-11 team drills at mandatory minicamp, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
Stefanski reiterated that Atlanta remains "very comfortable" with the rehab progress Penix has made in his recovery from a left ACL tear. Regarding the Falcons' quarterback competition between Penix and Tua Tagovailoa, Stefanski said "we're not giving out any jobs in June." By all accounts, Atlanta's true QB competition won't kick off until Penix has been cleared to suit up for full-team reps. That said, Stefanski declined to state whether he expects Penix to be cleared by the start of training camp in July. If Penix remains limited to individual drills at that point, Tagovailoa will have a tangible opportunity to build early momentum.

Ladd McConkey LAC WRChargers' Ladd McConkey: Limited to individual drills
3h agoChargers coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday that McConkey (undisclosed) is "working through something" and will be limited to individual drills at mandatory minicamp, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.
McConkey seems to be dealing with a minor injury, leading to Los Angeles holding him out from team drills to avoid contact. Per Kris Rhim of ESPN.com, Harbaugh downplayed the severity of McConkey's injury, so it doesn't appear there's any level of concern about his status for the start of training camp in July. McConkey racked up 66 catches for 789 yards and six scores on 106 targets across 16 regular-season appearances in 2025, a step down from his rookie year production (82-1,149-7) in 2024. There are reasons to be optimistic about McConkey's chances of making a Year 3 leap, however, with quarterback Justin Herbert slated to benefit from a healthy O-line, new OC Mike McDaniel bringing a spark on offense, and Keenan Allen no longer providing competition for targets.

Cameron Jordan NO DESaints' Cameron Jordan: Slated to re-sign with Saints
3h agoThe Saints are set to re-sign Jordan to a one-year contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Jordan has his entire career in New Orleans, with the team that selected him in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft, and he rebounded impressively across 17 regular-season appearances in 2025, totaling 10.5 sacks. The soon-to-be 37-year-old will reportedly re-up with the Saints on a deal that includes significant incentives.

Devin Neal NO RBSaints' Devin Neal: Nursing minor injury
4h agoSaints head coach Kellen Moore said Monday that Neal (undisclosed) will be limited at minicamp due to a minor injury suffered early June, Erin Summers of ESPN reports.
Neal's exact injury remains undisclosed, but it doesn't appear severe enough to cause concern about his status for the start of training camp in July. Still, it's notable that the 2025 sixth-round pick will be limited at mandatory minicamp as he works to compete for a backfield role in Year 2. With New Orleans having inked new lead back Travis Etienne to a four-year, $52 million contract in March and Alvin Kamara still on the roster, Neal appears positioned to compete with Kendre Miller (ACL), Ty Chandler and Audric Estime for reserve opportunities.

Heliot Ramos SF LFGiants' Heliot Ramos: Ready for rehab assignment
7m agoRamos (quadriceps) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Out since mid-May with a right quadriceps strain, Ramos has been cleared to test things out in a game setting after ramping up workouts without issue in recent days. With Casey Schmitt seemingly taking hold of the Giants' left-field job, Ramos' playing time situation once back on the active roster is a bit cloudy. Ramos slashed .267/.307/.424 with four home runs over 176 plate appearances before getting hurt.

Daulton Varsho TOR CFBlue Jays' Daulton Varsho: Resuming hitting activities
11m agoVarsho (wrist) is beginning to feel better and resumed hitting in the batting cages on Wednesday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports
Just four days after landing on the injured list with left wrist inflammation, Varsho has resumed hitting and is starting to feel better as he gets closer to his potential return to the major-league level. Toronto announced that the 30-year-old will continue to ramp up his activities over the next couple of days as the team evaluates his next steps.

Shane Bieber TOR SPBlue Jays' Shane Bieber: Approaching next rehab start
15m agoToronto announced that Bieber (elbow) will make another rehab start on Wednesday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
Bieber will commence another rehab start for Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday which could be his third and final start before rejoining the big-league club. The 31-year-old is aiming for 75 pitches on Wednesday and Toronto will go from there to determine whether the right-hander is ready to make his season debut quite yet.

Gavin Hollowell CHC RPCubs' Gavin Hollowell: Back in big-league bullpen
18m agoThe Cubs recalled Hollowell from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Hollowell was knocked around for two runs on two hits and four walks over 1.2 innings in his lone appearance with the Cubs earlier this season. He will be utilized in low-leverage situations.
-
Jhonny Pereda SEA CMariners' Jhonny Pereda: Optioned to Tacoma
19m agoThe Mariners demoted Pereda to Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.
Pereda will head back down to Triple-A Tacoma in direct response to Cal Raleigh being activated off of the 10-day injured list. Pereda slashed .270/.324/.365 with two homers and four RBI in 63 plate appearances with Seattle this season. The Mariners will now carry Cal Raleigh and Mitch Garver as backstops.
-
Daniel Palencia CHC RPCubs' Daniel Palencia: Placed on IL with inflamed elbow
21m agoThe Cubs placed Palencia on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with right elbow inflammation, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Palencia picked up the win Monday versus the Rockies, tossing a scoreless top of the ninth inning before the Cubs walked it off in the bottom of the frame. However, he's now on the IL for the second time this season after missing time earlier this year with a lat strain. The Cubs could lean on a committee approach at closer while Palencia is sidelined, with Caleb Thielbar, Phil Maton and Jacob Webb all in the mix.

Alex Sarr WAS CWizards' Alex Sarr: Undergoes foot surgery
1d agoSarr underwent surgery to repair a fractured right foot Monday, per Shams Charania of ESPN.

Plumlee began the season with the Hornets and saw inconsistent burn before undergoing right groin surgery in late December. The 36-year-old was traded to the Thunder and subsequently waived in February, and the veteran center later joined the Spurs on a 10-day deal before signing a rest-of-season contract with the club. Plumlee appeared in just six regular-season games for San Antonio and is now slated to enter unrestricted free agency.

2d agoWaters averaged 2.4 points, 0.7 rebounds and 0.5 assists across 7.1 minutes per tilt in 40 regular-season games during the 2025-26 campaign.
Waters didn't play in any of San Antonio's last six postseason games or log more than eight minutes in any of his nine playoff appearances. The 28-year-old swingman logged double-digit minutes in just 10 of his regular-season outings and averaged a career-low mark in minutes. He's slated to be an unrestricted free agent this summer.
-

He's set to be an unrestricted free agent this summer after being traded twice last offseason.

Gauthier posted a 21-9-5 record with a 2.09 GAA, a .929 save percentage and three shutouts in 36 regular-season appearances for ECHL Wheeling in 2025-26. He also went 9-8 with a 2.23 GAA and a .922 save percentage during the 2026 Kelly Cup Playoffs. The 25-year-old will probably spend most, if not all, of the 2026-27 campaign in the minors.

Simon Benoit TOR DFlyers' Simon Benoit: Sent to Philly
5h agoBenoit and Joseph Woll were dealt to the Flyers from the Maple Leafs on Tuesday in exchange for Samuel Ersson, Emil Andrae and a 2026 third-round pick.
Benoit suited up for 73 games in 2025-26, logging six helpers, 194 hits, 114 blocked shots and a minus-22 rating while averaging 17:18 of ice time. The Flyers' top four appears to be set for at least the 2026-27 campaign, but Benoit should be able to be a fixture on the third pairing with his new team. The 6-foot-4 defenseman is entering the final season of his three-year, $4.05 million deal -- he's scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent ahead of the 2027-28 campaign.

Emil Andrae PHI DMaple Leafs' Emil Andrae: Heading north in trade
5h agoAndrae, Samuel Ersson and a 2026 third-round pick were acquired by the Maple Leafs from the Flyers on Tuesday in exchange for Joseph Woll and Simon Benoit.
With this move to Toronto, Andrae will have the chance to carve out an everyday role with his new club. The 24-year-old accounted for two goals, 13 points, 68 hits, 58 blocks and a plus-15 rating over 61 regular-season games with the Flyers in 2025-26. Andrae will likely fill a third-pairing role to start with the Maple Leafs, and he could factor into the second power-play unit if he performs well in the early going.
-
Samuel Ersson PHI GMaple Leafs' Samuel Ersson: Headed to Canada
5h agoErsson was traded to Toronto from Philadelphia on Tuesday along with Emil Andrae and a 2026 third-round pick in exchange for Joseph Woll and Simon Benoit.
In 33 regular-season appearances this year, Ersson posted a 14-11-5 record, a 3.12 GAA and an .870 save percentage. While the 26-year-old backstop should still be in the mix for plenty of opportunities with the Leafs, he figures to be the No. 2 option to start the season behind Anthony Stolarz (groin). Still, with Stolarz's extensive injury history (he's only hit the 30-game mark in one of his last five seasons), Ersson could get a chance to play No. 1 minutes if called upon.
-
Joseph Woll TOR GFlyers' Joseph Woll: Swapped in four-player trade
5h agoWoll and Simon Benoit were traded to Philadelphia from Toronto on Tuesday in exchange for Samuel Ersson, Emil Andrae and a 2026 third-round pick.
Woll saw action in 39 regular-season games for the Leafs this season, going 15-16-7 with a 3.34 GAA, .898 save percentage and two shutouts. With his new club, the 27-year-old backstop figures to slide into the backup role behind Dan Vladar, though he should still see about 25-35 games as the No. 2 option for the Flyers.
