Jake Browning CIN QBBengals' Jake Browning: Signs through 2025
15m agoBrowning signed a two-year contract with the Bengals on Tuesday.
Undrafted back in 2019, the QB spent two years on Minnesota's practice squad and then two seasons on Cincinnati's. Browning finally got his shot in 2023, winning the No. 2 QB job for the Bengals and eventually replacing an injured Joe Burrow (wrist) for the final seven and a half games of the season. Browning played surprisingly well down the stretch, with 15 total TDs (three rushing) and seven turnovers (all INTs) while leading all qualified passers in completion percentage (70.4) and ranking fifth in yards per attempt (8.0). The 28-year-old's status as an exclusive-rights free agent this offseason essentially locked him into staying with the Bengals, and the two-year deal now sets him up to be a restricted free agent after 2025. His solid performance in 2023 --combined with 2-3 more years of team contract control -- could make Browning a trade target for QB-needy teams, though there haven't been rumblings of interest this spring.

Rasul Douglas BUF CBBills' Rasul Douglas: Key acquisition in 2023
7h agoDouglas posted 61 tackles, 1.0 sacks, 14 passes defensed, five interceptions, a pick-six and three fumble recoveries over 16 regular-season games split between the Packers and Bills.
The Bills acquired Douglas from Green Bay in a Halloween trade, and the veteran played a key role in helping the Bills turn around their season and win a fourth straight AFC East title. With Buffalo losing several key pieces this offseason, Douglas will remain a clear-cut starter and locker room leader entering his eighth NFL season. He's had four-plus picks in each of the last three seasons.

Jacob Phillips CLE LBTexans' Jacob Phillips: Houston bound
15h agoPhillips (pectoral) inked a one-year deal with the Texans on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Phillips spent last year on Cleveland's injured reserve due to a torn pectoral muscle. It was his second straight season-ending pectoral injury, as the same injury ended his 2022 campaign early. The 2020 third-round pick's addition to the Texans' offseason roster indicates his health is back to up to par. He will now compete for a role at linebacker in Houston.

Mitchell Wilcox NE TEPatriots' Mitchell Wilcox: Inks new deal
18h agoWilcox signed a contract with the Patriots on Monday, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
Wilcox now will call New England home after spending the first three campaigns of his career In Cincinnati. The 27-year-old appeared in all 17 regular-season games in 2023, mostly operating as the Bengals' No. 3 option at tight end and recording nine catches (on 12 targets) for 56 yards. If he can make the Patriots' roster this year, he'll likely be a depth option for them, too.

Cole Holcomb PIT LBSteelers' Cole Holcomb: Future status still in question
19h agoHolcomb (knee) still doesn't have a timeline for when he may be able to return to the field, Adam Borst of SteelersNow.com reports.
Holcomb suffered a significant knee injury Week 9 against the Titans that required season-ending surgery to repair. Since then, there has been speculation that the damage done was enough to keep the North Carolina product on the sidelines permanently, bringing an early end to his career. However, according to GM Omar Khan, Holcolmb is "working extremely hard to get back. I don't really have much to add on a timeline." Khan further stated, "It was a major injury, but he is working hard and I'm optimistic about all the effort he's going to put into getting back on the field."

Brandon Aiyuk SF WR49ers' Brandon Aiyuk: Discussing deal with team
19h agoGM John Lynch said Monday that the 49ers are having "good talks" with Aiyuk, who hasn't been at the team facility for the offseason program, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Aiyuk is unlikely to show up for voluntary workouts without a new contract in hand, but that doesn't necessarily mean he'll hold out from mandatory minicamp in June if the two sides haven't reached an agreement by then. The 26-year-old's agent denied reports of a trade request last weekend, and it sounds like there's still hope for a long-term contract heading into the fifth and final year of Aiyuk's rookie deal. He's scheduled to make $14.12 million under the fifth-year option, whereas a multi-year deal likely would entail a large signing bonus and an annual average value well north of $20 million. Making it work for the 2024 season isn't an issue, but the Niners may be hesitant to pay Aiyuk at market value long term when they already have six players scheduled for cap hits north of $20 million in 2025, including WR Deebo Samuel and TE George Kittle. Even then, it's a workable situation, as they've got a starting QB on a late-round-rookie contract and don't owe large sums of guaranteed money beyond the current year to anyone besides DE Nick Bosa.

Josiah Gray WAS SPNationals' Josiah Gray: Resumes playing catch
24m agoNationals manager Dave Martinez said Friday that Gray resumed playing catch from 60 feet last week, MLB.com reports.
Though the fact that Gray is no longer shut down from throwing is an encouraging sign after he landed on the 15-day injured list April 9 with a right elbow flexor strain, the 26-year-old still has several more checkpoints to hit in his rehab program before he'll be ready to rejoin the Washington rotation. He's without a clear timeline for a return from the IL, but Gray appears safe to rule out from being activated before the end of April.

Sam Huff TEX CRangers' Sam Huff: Sent back to minors
1h agoThe Rangers optioned Huff to Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.
Huff was up for a handful of days and did not receive a plate appearance. He'll go back to getting regular reps at Round Rock.
-
Owen White TEX RPRangers' Owen White: Optioned to Triple-A
1h agoThe Rangers optioned White to Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.
White was up with the big club for just a few days and did not make an appearance. He's clearing out to make room for Jonathan Hernandez's return from the injured list.
-
Jonathan Hernandez TEX RPRangers' Jonathan Hernandez: Activated from injured list
1h agoThe Rangers activated Hernandez (lat) from the 15-day injured list Monday.
Hernandez got a late start to the season due to a right lat strain but is ready to roll now after allowing just three runs with a 14:4 K:BB over 10 rehab innings with Triple-A Round Rock. The righty could eventually work his way into high-leverage situations but will probably be used earlier in games initially.
-
Jorbit Vivas NYY 2BYankees' Jorbit Vivas: Activated from Triple-A IL
1h agoVivas (eye) has been activated from the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Vivas suffered an orbital fracture late in spring training but is now ready for game action. The 23-year-old utility player is on the 40-man roster and could eventually push for his first big-league promotion this season.

Wikelman Gonzalez BOS SPRed Sox's Wikelman Gonzalez: Rough start to season
3h agoGonzalez has an 11.12 ERA and 2.88 WHIP over three appearances (two starts) at Double-A Portland.
Control has long been a challenge for Gonzalez, who is showing it to be more so at the start of the 2024 season. He walked eight batters over his first two starts -- he lasted just two-thirds of an inning in his second start -- and has nine overall in 5.2 innings. The right-hander had an encouraging third outing Sunday, when he walked only one over three scoreless innings as a piggyback starter.

Jalen Suggs ORL SGMagic's Jalen Suggs: Expects to play in Game 3
1h agoSuggs said after Monday's 96-86 loss to the Cavaliers that he doesn't think his sprained left knee injury will keep him from playing Thursday in Game 3 of the series, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Suggs suffered the injury in the first quarter Monday, when he collapsed to the floor after making contact with Cleveland's Donovan Mitchell. Suggs grabbed his leg in visible pain after the play and didn't put any weight on his leg as he was assisted to the locker room, but he was able to return to the contest after halftime while sporting a compression sleeve on his leg. He ended up playing well down the stretch, finishing with nine points (2-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-7 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal in 29 minutes. Adrenaline might have played a part in Suggs feeling well enough to return, so the Magic will wait and see how his knee responds over the next two days before deciding whether he's fit to play in Game 3 with the Magic facing a 2-0 series deficit.

Kelly Oubre Jr. PHI SG76ers' Kelly Oubre: Does little in loss
3h agoOubre logged four points (2-7 FG), two rebounds, three assists and three blocks across 26 minutes during Monday's 104-101 loss to the Knicks in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.
Oubre's unproductive evening marked his second consecutive subpar performance in the quarterfinals. He joined a mediocre group of starters who scored only 22 points compared to the 69 points accrued by Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. Improved stat lines from Oubre will be necessary for the Sixers to even the series at home.
-
Joel Embiid PHI C76ers' Joel Embiid: Records double-double in 39 minutes
3h agoEmbiid totaled 34 points (12-29 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 8-12 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists and one block over 39 minutes during Monday's 104-101 loss to the Knicks in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.
Despite laboring up and down the court at times, Embiid showed no ill effects of his lingering knee injury and logged a full workload in the loss, but his prolific line wasn't enough to turn the tide. Embiid and Tyrese Maxey got no help from their teammates as the rest of the roster ended with fewer points than Embiid alone.
-
Tyrese Maxey PHI PG76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Records 35/10 double-double in loss
3h agoMaxey notched 35 points (12-22 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds and 10 assists in 44 minutes during Monday's 104-101 loss to the Knicks in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.
Maxey scored 15 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter and was the primary catalyst in a massive rally that erased the Knicks' lead. His three-pointer with 1:09 remaining appeared to seal a Game 2 win for the Sixers, but New York's defense turned the tables in the end. Although Joel Embiid is rounding back into form, Maxey's production will be essential to get the team back into the series. The Maxey-Embiid duo also needs help from the rest of the supporting cast, who scored only 32 points in the loss.
-
Jalen Brunson NY PGKnicks' Jalen Brunson: High scorer despite poor shooting
3h agoBrunson posted 24 points (8-29 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 7-9 FT), eight rebounds and six assists over 38 minutes during Monday's 104-101 win over the 76ers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.
A productive night at the charity stripe and decent secondary production helped mask Brunson's dreadful shooting night. The usually prolific guard has converted only 29.1 percent of his shots in the quarterfinals, and although the Knicks have pulled off a 2-0 lead amid the slump, the team's outlook will be much better if his shooting stroke gets back on track.
-
Josh Hart NY SFKnicks' Josh Hart: Logs stellar 21/15 double-double
3h agoHart provided 21 points (7-16 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals in 48 minutes during Monday's 104-101 victory over the 76ers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.
Hart enjoyed another heroic stat line after posting a 22-point, 13-rebound double-double in Game 1. Jalen Brunson's shooting slump has rendered Hart as the most consistent producer for New York in the quarterfinals, and the latter's 19 first-half points kept the Knicks afloat early.
-
Ilya Lyubushkin TOR DMaple Leafs' Ilya Lyubushkin: Records Apple
4m agoLyubushkin recorded an assist Monday during Toronto's Game 2 win 3-2 over Boston.
Lyubushkin's secondary assist came late into the third period when Austin Matthews scored on a breakaway to put the Leafs up 3-2. The 30-year-old was on the ice for two of the three goals and logged 13:40 of ice time. He will be on the first defensive pairing with Morgan Rielly heading into game three.
-
Timo Meier NJ RWDevils' Timo Meier: Undergoes shoulder surgery
9m agoMeier will have arthroscopic surgery on his shoulder but is expected to be ready for training camp ahead of the 2024-25 campaign, the Devils announced Tuesday.
Despite several injury concerns, Meier still managed to rack up 28 goals and 24 helpers in 69 games this season, including 17 power-play points. The Swiss international should be a near-lock to maintain a top-six role playing alongside Nico Hischier or Jack Hughes (shoulder) next season where he can offer top-end fantasy value.
-
Jordan Martinook CAR LWHurricanes' Jordan Martinook: Nets game-winner
9m agoMartinook scored a goal on a team-high five shots in Monday's 5-3 win over the Islanders.
After Sebastian Aho tied the game with Carolina's net empty in the third period, Martinook put the Canes ahead 4-3 just nine seconds later, sliding a puck past the near post after Semyon Varlamov lost track of the play. The 31-year-old Martinook was a solid source of secondary scoring in Carolina's bottom six this year, tallying 14 goals and 32 points in 82 regular-season games.
-
Andrei Svechnikov CAR RWHurricanes' Andrei Svechnikov: Two helpers in Game 2 win
15m agoSvechnikov notched a pair of assists in Monday's 5-3 victory over the Islanders.
Svechnikov set up Sebastian Aho's game-tying marker late in the third period before grabbing a second helper on Jake Guentzel's empty-netter that sealed Carolina's 5-3 victory. The 24-year-old Svechnikov was held off the scoresheet in Game 1, though he finished the regular season with six points (two goals, four assists) in his final four contests. He tallied 19 goals and 52 points across 59 regular-season games.
-
Bo Horvat NYI CIslanders' Bo Horvat: Scores goal in loss
15m agoHorvat scored a goal on three shots in Monday's 5-3 defeat to Carolina in Game 2.
Horvat was able to end a five-game goal drought dating back to April 9 versus the Rangers. The Ontario native is averaging 3.75 shots on goal over his last four contests. If he keeps that rate up, he should start finding the back of the net with more consistency.
-
Jake Guentzel CAR CHurricanes' Jake Guentzel: Scores goal, assist in win
19m agoGuentzel scored a goal on two shots and picked up a power-play assist in Monday's 5-3 Game 2 victory over the Islanders.
Guentzel was also given a 10-minute misconduct late in the third period as the game got a little chippy at the end. It was a strong bounce-back performance for the 29-year-old winger after having been held off the scoresheet in Game 1 while failing to record a shot for just the second time all season.
