  • Sam Howell SEA QB
    Seahawks' Sam Howell: Competing for backup job
    8h ago

    Howell will compete for the No. 2 job behind Sam Darnold after the Seahawks signed Drew Lock on Friday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

    GM John Schneider added that he looks forward to Howell's development in the new scheme after the Seahawks fired OC Ryan Grubb after just one season and replaced him with Klint Kubiak. Schneider also stated that Lock's arrival doesn't mean the team won't add another quarterback during the draft. Howell played just 25 snaps during 2024, completing five of 14 passes for 24 yards and an interception. Such a small sample size isn't determinative of Howell's future, however, as he was a serviceable option in Washington in 2023 with 3,946 yards, 21 touchdowns and 21 interceptions in addition to five rushing scores. Meanwhile, Lock's career numbers aren't much better, but he has familiarity with the organization and may be a more steady backup as the Seahawks look to perform a quick rebuild with Darnold's lead.

    Saints' Ryan Ramczyk: Announces retirement from NFL
    9h ago

    Ramczyk announced his retirement from the NFL on Thursday.

    The 32nd overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, Ramczyk injured his knee in Week 14 of the 2023 season and was never medically cleared to play again, missing the entirety of the 2024 campaign. Prior to the injury, Ramczyk was one of the best right tackles in the league, earning first-team All-Pro honors once and second-team All-Pro twice. He started all 101 games he appeared in during his seven seasons with the Saints.

    Bills' Tre'Davious White: Returns to Buffalo
    11h ago

    The Bills signed White to a one-year contract worth up to $6.8 million Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    White, of course, was the 27th overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft by the Bills and spent the first seven seasons of his career with Buffalo, making a pair of Pro Bowls while being named a first-team All-Pro once. Injuries then took a toll on the cornerback, and the 30-year-old spent last season splitting time with the Rams and Ravens, playing in 11 regular-season contests. He'll try to rebound his career in a familiar environment.

    49ers' Jake Tonges: Re-signs with San Francisco
    11h ago

    Tonges re-signed with the 49ers on a one-year, $1.03 million contract Thursday.

    It's the value of the exclusive rights tender for Tonges, who appeared in 16 regular-season games last season but saw just 34 snaps on offense. He played 232 snaps on special teams, and that figures to be where he'll fit in next season, should he make the 53-man roster.

    Nicholas Petit-Frere: Let go by Tennessee
    14h ago

    The Titans waived Petit-Frere on Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

    Petit-Frere has struggled to impress since being selected by Tennessee in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft, and the team now opts to cut him to make way for a new round of incoming rookies in the 2025 draft. The 6-foot-5 offensive tackle will work to earn a chance to compete for a depth role elsewhere in the league.

    Armani Rogers: Cut with injury designation
    14h ago

    The Bills waived Rogers (Achilles) with a non-football injury designation Thursday.

    Rogers suffered a torn Achilles tendon while training early March, resulting in his now being waived for Buffalo to clear up roster space ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft. The reserve tight end's road to recovery could be made more difficult by the fact that he previously suffered a torn Achilles in May of 2023.

  • Ranger Suarez PHI SP
    Phillies' Ranger Suarez: May not return before end of April
    4h ago

    Suarez (back) will throw a bullpen session Friday, and his next minor-league rehab start is scheduled for Tuesday with Triple-A Lehigh Valley, Jeff Kerr of CBS Philadelphia reports.

    Manager Rob Thomson noted that the left-hander has no issues with his back but could need more than another rehab appearance, which would likely push back Suarez's return to Philadelphia's rotation until early May. Suarez threw 54 pitches Wednesday with Single-A Clearwater, so he'll likely be targeting the 70-pitch range in his next outing in the minors. The Phillies intend to bring Suarez back as a starter, but it sounds like Taijuan Walker is poised to get at least two more turns in the rotation in the interim.

  • Robert Garcia TEX RP
    Rangers' Robert Garcia: Registers rare save Thursday
    7h ago

    Garcia earned the save in Thursday's win 5-3 over the Angels, throwing a clean ninth inning and striking out one.

    Garcia didn't have to do much to net his first save of the year, inducing two quick groundouts after fanning the leadoff batter on three pitches. Each of his five pitches overall landed for strikes Thursday. Closer Luke Jackson worked each of the past two days, and setup man Chris Martin was summoned to retire the top of the Angels' lineup in the eighth inning. That said, Garcia has five holds as opposed to one save in 2025, so he's unlikely to see very much ninth-inning work going forward despite producing a 2.00 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 8:3 K:BB through nine frames of work.

  • Tanner Bibee CLE SP
    Guardians' Tanner Bibee: Tagged for six runs in loss
    7h ago

    Bibee (1-2) came away with the loss against the Orioles on Thursday. He allowed six runs on five hits and four walks while striking out five across 5.2 innings.

    Bibee put the Guardians on the back foot in the first inning when he yielded a solo shot to Gunnar Henderson, and the former gave the Orioles the lead again in the third inning on a three-run homer by Ryan O'Hearn. Bibbee was able to get through the fourth and fifth frames unscathed and was one out away from escaping the sixth, but his 80 mph changeup to Heston Kjerstad was smacked to right-center field for a two-run shot to extend the Guardians' deficit to four runs. Bibee hasn't allowed a run in two of his four starts this season, but in his other two outings he's given up a combined 13 runs (including seven homers) over 9.2 innings. Things won't get easier for Bibee in his next start, which is lined up for next week at home against Aaron Judge and the Yankees.

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Socks fourth homer in win

    Seager went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's win over the Angels.

    Seager socked a 427-foot blast into deep center field in the seventh inning, giving the Rangers an insurance run to put the team ahead 5-3. The star shortstop is off to a strong start at the dish in 2025, slashing .306/.368/.516 with four round trippers, one double, six RBI and six runs scored through 62 at-bats (17 games). Seager now has multiple hits in three straight contests.

    Hedges battled Tomoyuki Sugano in a nine-pitch at-bat in the third inning, with the former coming out on top with a solo homer to left field to give the Guardians a 2-1 win. Across his six starts this season, Hedges has gone 3-for-15 with five walks, two runs scored and two solo homers.

    Rangers' Adolis Garcia: Productive start continues in win

    Garcia went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Thursday's win over the Angels.

    After plating a run on a sacrifice fly in the first frame, Garcia launched a 382-foot shot into left-center field to give Texas a 4-1 lead in the third inning. While the slugging outfielder is batting just .226 over his first 62 at-bats of the year, Garcia has remained productive by piling up three homers, five doubles, seven RBI and four stolen bases through 19 outings.

    Williams (oblique) is listed as probable for Friday's Play-In Game against the Grizzlies.

    Williams has been a mainstay on the injury report of late due to the left oblique strain, though he's expected to play in his fourth consecutive contest Friday. The 25-year-old was a game-time decision for Wednesday's Play-In Game win over the Kings, though he suited up and recorded 17 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and five assists across 18 minutes.

    Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Officially questionable for Friday
    12h ago

    Morant (ankle) is questionable for Friday's Play-In Game against the Mavericks.

    Morant didn't practice Thursday and is expected to be a game-time decision Friday due to a sprained right ankle. The star point guard sustained the ankle injury in the third quarter of Tuesday's Play-In Game loss to the Warriors, though he finished the game and posted 22 points (9-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 35 minutes. The 25-year-old is still dealing with swelling in his ankle, but he's optimistic about suiting up, per Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com. If Morant is sidelined against Dallas, Luke Kennard will likely see an uptick in playing time.

The one-time NBA champion had a rough regular season, averaging career-low numbers across the board with 5.3 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.0 assists over 23 games.

  • Dakota Mermis TOR D
    Maple Leafs' Dakota Mermis: Snags helper Thursday
    4h ago

    Mermis notched an assist in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Red Wings.

    The Maple Leafs built in some rest for their top players by leaning on the depth guys in this contest. That led to Mermis setting up Scott Laughton in overtime for the game-winning goal. It was Mermis' first point over four NHL outings between Toronto and Utah this season. Once Oliver Ekman-Larsson (upper body) and Jake McCabe (upper body) are back, Mermis will likely retreat to the press box as an emergency depth option on defense.

    Knies registered two assists and went plus-3 in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Red Wings.

    Knies set up Auston Matthews on the opening tally and also helped out on Scott Laughton's game-winner in overtime. Knies has four goals and five assists over eight contests in April, so he looks ready to have a breakout on a bigger stage in the postseason. He put up an impressive 29 goals, 29 assists, 152 shots on net, 182 hits and a plus-7 rating over 78 regular-season outings.

    Tanev scored a goal in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Red Wings.

    The Maple Leafs were two seconds from a loss when Tanev tied the game. While playing more time in a game with no impact on the season standings was probably not what the doctor ordered, Scott Laughton won it for Toronto 56 seconds into the extra session. Tanev's tally ended his 17-game point drought and gives him three goals, 18 points, 43 shots on net, 189 blocked shots and a plus-31 rating over 75 regular-season appearances. He'll be laser-focused on the defensive zone in the playoffs while filling a shutdown role.

    Lightning's Zemgus Girgensons: Ends regular season in skid
    4h ago

    Girgensons was held off the scoresheet for the 17th game in a row in Thursday's 4-0 loss to the Rangers.

    Girgensons' offensive futility is nothing new this year -- he ends his first regular season with the Lightning with a career-low six points, less than half as many points as he had in his next-worst season. He added 83 shots on net, 174 hits, 50 blocked shots, 47 PIM and a minus-7 rating over 82 appearances. The Lightning aren't at full strength up front entering the playoffs, so Girgensons should be able to stick in a bottom-six role, and his physical play will be a benefit with the uptick in intensity of postseason play.

The 24-year-old blueliner is at 28 points, a plus-23 rating, 86 shots on net, 80 hits and 77 blocked shots through 79 regular-season appearances. He's projected to begin the playoffs in the lineup, but if he struggles, he could be bumped for Kyle Burroughs or Jacob Moverare.

    Clarke picked up two assists over the last four games of the regular season. The 22-year-old is set to get his first taste of playoff action, though he'll likely have to do well to stay in the lineup, as Kyle Burroughs' physical style will play well in the postseason. Clarke ended the regular season with 33 points (nine on the power play), 131 shots on net, 121 blocked shots, 46 PIM and a plus-13 rating over 78 appearances.
