    30m ago

    The Bills signed Williams to a one-year contract Thursday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

    Jayden Daniels: Throws at LSU pro day
    1h ago

    Daniels, who opted to not throw at the NFL Scouting Combine, did so at LSU's pro day Wednesday, Eric Edholm of NFL.com reports.

    Per the report, Daniels, who measured in at 6-foot-3⅝, 210 pounds, was slated to spend time afterward with the Patriots, Commanders, Giants, Vikings, Broncos and Raiders. As next month's draft approaches, the 2023 Heisman Trophy winner is viewed as one of the top options at the QB position, along with USC's Caleb Williams, North Carolina's Drake Maye and Michigan's J.J. McCarthy. While Williams is expected to be selected first overall, where Daniels lands remains to be seen, though what is clear is that the top four signal-callers figure to come off the board quickly, in any case.

    Jaguars' Josiah Deguara: Inking with Jacksonville
    3h ago

    The Jaguars are slated to sign Deguara to a one-year contract, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports.

    Deguara spent the last four seasons handling a depth role in Green Bay, where he was drafted in the third round back in 2020. His versatility both as a blocker and on special teams will boost his chances of earning playing time behind Evan Engram, but Deguara peaked with a 25-245-2 receiving line in 2021 and doesn't appear to have much fantasy potential.

    J.K. Dobbins: Lines up AFC West visit
    5h ago

    Dobbins (Achilles) is visiting the Chargers on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Dobbins, who was recently medically cleared for football activities, is coming off a left Achilles tear after previously missing all of 2021 and about half of the 2022 season due to a torn ACL and proceeding issues. That medical history undercuts otherwise impressive career numbers for Dobbins, who has averaged 5.8 yards per carry and scored 13 touchdowns since entering the NFL in 2020 as a second-round pick by the Ravens, but only suited up for 24 games in that span. Reuniting with offensive coordinator Greg Roman could make the most sense as a landing spot for Dobbins, but it's possible he doesn't garner more interest than a potential prove-it deal. The Chargers signed Gus Edwards,a former Baltimore backfield mate of Dobbins, early in free agency.

    5h ago

    Stingley recorded 39 tackles, 13 passes defensed and five interceptions over 11 regular-season games in 2023.

    Stingley, a second-year cornerback and 2022 first-round draft pick, suffered a Week 3 hamstring that created issues for the defense early on, but upon his return Week 10, Stingley made an impact. He had interceptions in three straight games, including a Week 13 win over the Broncos. Stingley will return as Houston's top cornerback in 2024.

    5h ago

    Houston-Carson started the season in Baltimore then finished up in Houston, where he played a career-high 447 snaps on defense. Injuries on the back end led to Houston-Carson playing a big role for the Texans, including two pivotal plays in a Week 10 win over the Bengals. He entered unrestricted free agency during the offseason.

    Marlins' Eury Perez: Moves to injured list
    9m ago

    The Marlins placed Perez (elbow) on the 15-day injured list Thursday, retroactive to March 25.

    The 20-year-old has been destined for the injured list since being diagnosed with elbow inflammation last week, and the Marlins officially made the transaction Thursday. Perez resumed throwing over the weekend but will need to time to build up his arm strength, so he should be sidelined well beyond the 15-day minimum.

    Marlins' Nick Gordon: Handling left field in opener
    11m ago

    Gordon is starting in left field and batting eighth in Thursday's opener against the Pirates.

    Gordon had a solid spring and ultimately gets the starting nod over Avisail Garcia on Opening Day. The 28-year-old missed most of the 2023 season due to injury, but he showed some promise in 2022 and might prove to be a sneaky fantasy asset if he can carve out a regular role.

    Kiviranta (illness) will not be in the lineup against the Rangers on Thursday, Corey Masisak of The Denver Post reports.

    Kiviranta will have to wait at least one more game before getting a shot at his 10th point of the season. In fact, with just three more tallies, the 28-year-old winger could top the personal best he set back in 2020-21 (11). Even once cleared to play, Kiviranta is far from a lock for the starting XI and may have to watch from the press box periodically.
