Jeff Wilson MIA RBDolphins' Jeff Wilson: Not assured of roster spot?
1h agoWilson is part of a crowded backfield alongside Raheem Mostert, De'Von Achane and rookie fourth-round pick Jaylen Wright, Omar Kelly of The Miami Herald reports.
Wilson may be a favorite of coach Mike McDaniel, but the 28-year-old nonetheless faces a difficult path to earning a roster spot if the three aforementioned RBs stay healthy this summer. With those three being roster locks, the Dolphins may end up having Wilson, Salvon Ahmed and Chris Brooks competing for one or two spots on the practice squad. Wilson agreed to a contract restructure in March, dropping his base salary to $1.12 million while guaranteeing him $400,000, per Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald.

Jalen Guyton LAC WRRaiders' Jalen Guyton: Links with Las Vegas
2h agoThe Raiders signed Guyton to a contract Monday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Guyton is coming off a 2023 season in which a leg injury forced him to spend the first eight games on the PUP list, and he ended the next eight contests with a disappointing total of 10 catches on 21 targets for 89 yards and a touchdown. In the past Guyton has been a serviceable deep threat, having put up a career-best 31-448-3 receiving line on 48 targets back in 2021. He'll compete for a depth role behind Davante Adams, Jakobi Meyers and Michael Gallup.

Wan'Dale Robinson NYG WRGiants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Should be in mix for steady targets
2h agoRobinson could challenge for the team lead in targets even though the Giants took Malik Nabers with the sixth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, according to Dan Salomone and Matt Citak of the team's official website.
The three writers surveyed from Giants.com all agreed Nabers is a favorite to lead the team in targets, with two of the three mentioning Robinson as a candidate to give the rookie a run for his money. A 2022 second-round pick, Robinson got 31 targets on 164 routes (18.9 percent) his rookie year before he suffered an ACL tear, then had 78 looks on 490 routes (15.9 percent) last season. While he's never drawn targets at a particularly high rate, he did have a decent run of production after New York's Week 13 bye last season, averaging 4.8 catches for 52.0 yards over the final five games while taking three carries for 60 yards and a TD. A healthy offseason without rehab from major surgery should help the 23-year-old improve in 2024, though he may still be largely limited to the slot and is both smaller and slower than Nabers. The Giants' other wide receivers -- Darius Slayton, Jalin Hyatt, Isaiah Hodgins, Isaiah McKenzie, etc. -- are all guys that wouldn't be likely to see too many targets even if they got a lot of playing time. Nabers and Robinson mostly figure to work with QB Drew Lock this offseason, as Daniel Jones is still rehabbing from an ACL tear.

Rashaad Penny PHI RBRashaad Penny: Intends to sign in Carolina
2h agoPenny plans to sign with the Panthers, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Penny's signing is expected to become official after the conclusion of Carolina's rookie minicamp, which ends May 12. The 2018 first-rounder is coming off a forgettable season with Philadelphia, where he was a healthy scratch for all but three contests and spent most of the year operating as the team's fourth running back. With the Panthers, Penny is in line to join a crowded backfield including rookie second-round pick Jonathon Brooks (ACL), who is expected to be ready for training camp, along with veterans Chuba Hubbard and Miles Sanders.

Nathan Rourke NE QBNathan Rourke: Being let go by Patriots
3h agoThe Patriots plan to waive Rourke, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Given that the Patriots took two quarterbacks (Drake Maye and Joe Milton) in last month's NFL draft and also roster Jacoby Brissett and Bailey Zappe, it's not surprising that the team elected to part ways with Rourke. The 25-year-old has yet to appear in an NFL regular season game, but Rourke did draw 11 starts over two campaigns (2021 and 2022) with the CFL's BC Lions.

Chris Olave NO WRSaints' Chris Olave: Set as WR1 in Big Easy
19h agoOlave once again is in line to serve as the focal point of New Orleans' passing attack after the team added just one wide receiver in the 2024 NFL Draft, selecting Bub Means at No. 170 overall.
Olave is coming off back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons to begin his career. The 2022 first-round pick has provided much-needed juice to an otherwise stale Saints offense. In fact, he's the only receiver to put up more than 720 yards in either of the past two seasons, as the team relied largely on aging veterans like Michael Thomas and Jarvis Landry to buoy the passing game. New Orleans then moved on from Landry during the 2023 offseason before cutting Thomas in March. Meanwhile, the team went cheap with its additions at the position, signing free agents Cedrick Wilson and Equanimeous St. Brown and waiting until the fifth round to draft Means. As a result, the Saints will more than likely enter the 2024 campaign with three pass catchers who have recorded more than 500 yards in a single season: Olave, No.2 wide receiver Rashid Shaheed and tight end Juwan Johnson. A.T. Perry, a 2023 sixth-round pick, will likely round out this receiving room, which Olave should clearly lead this season.

Angel Chivilli COL RPRockies' Angel Chivilli: Sent back to minors
25m agoThe Rockies optioned Chivilli to Double-A Hartford on Monday.
Chivilli was up with the big club over the weekend for its series in Philadelphia, but he did not make an appearance. The 21-year-old's major-league debut will have to wait for another time.
-
Justin Lawrence COL RPRockies' Justin Lawrence: Back from paternity leave
27m agoThe Rockies activated Lawrence from the paternity leave list Monday.
Lawrence missed the Rockies' weekend series in Pittsburgh but will be back for the start of their series against the Giants which begins Tuesday. He holds a 6.00 ERA this season but does lead the club with two saves and should regain his spot atop the bullpen pecking order.
-
Zebby Matthews MIN SPTwins' Zebby Matthews: Bumped up to Double-A
33m agoThe Twins promoted Matthews from High-A Cedar Rapids to Double-A Wichita on Monday.
After Matthews finishing the 2023 season at Cedar Rapids and produced a 4.59 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 59:10 K:BB in 66.2 innings with the affiliate, the Twins opted to have him return to the Midwest League to begin the 2024 campaign. He quickly proved to be worthy of a promotion, as he submitted a 1.59 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 28:3 K:BB in 22.2 innings over his first four starts of the season with Cedar Rapids.
-
Mason Black SF PGiants' Mason Black: Contract selected ahead of debut
1h agoThe Giants selected Black's contract from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Black is set to make his major-league debut Monday with a tough road matchup in Philadelphia. The 24-year-old has had a superb season with Sacramento, putting up a 1.01 ERA and 0.92 WHIP with 29 strikeouts over 26.2 innings in six starts. With Blake Snell (thigh) seemingly at least another week or so away from returning from the 15-day injured list, Black could be asked to make an additional start this weekend at home against the Reds, though that could depend on how he performs Monday.
-
Daulton Jefferies SF SPGiants' Daulton Jefferies: Cast off 40-man roster
1h agoThe Giants designated Jefferies for assignment Monday.
He'll cede his spot on the 40-man roster to right-hander Mason Black, who was called up from Triple-A Sacramento ahead of his scheduled start Monday versus the Phillies. Jefferies has made two appearances (one start) for the Giants this season, giving up nine earned runs on 14 hits and two walks over 4.2 innings.
-
Nick Ahmed SF SSGiants' Nick Ahmed: Resting Monday
1h agoAhmed is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Olivier-Maxence Prosper DAL SFMavericks' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Remains out for Game 1
12m agoProsper (ankle) won't play in Game 1 against the Thunder on Tuesday, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.
This will be the fifth game in a row on the shelf for Prosper, and he remains without a timetable for a return.
-
Tim Hardaway Jr. DAL SGMavericks' Tim Hardaway: Available for Game 1
22m agoHardaway (ankle) will be available for Game 1 against the Thunder on Monday, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.
This was the expectation when Hardaway made it through practices on Sunday and Monday. While this is great news for Dallas, it will be interesting to see how many minutes he's allotted because he's been struggling mightily with his shot.
-
Luka Doncic DAL PGMavericks' Luka Doncic: Probable for Game 1
25m agoDoncic (knee) is probable for Tuesday's Game 1 against the Thunder, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.
Doncic also dealt with a knee injury for most of the Mavericks' first-round series but wasn't forced to miss any time. He maintained a high level of production, averaging 29.8 points, 9.5 assists and 8.8 rebounds in 42.5 minutes per game. The 25-year-old should continue to be available for the start of the second round.
-
Rudy Gobert MIN CTimberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Late addition to injury report
26m agoGobert is questionable for Monday's Game 2 against the Nuggets due to personal reasons.
Gobert's partner is due to give birth this month, per Jack Borman of Canius Hoopus, so that's likely the reasoning behind the big man missing the team's morning shootaround. Gobert has the full support of his team, and it's still possible he's able to return in time for the 10 p.m. ET tipoff. However, if Gobert is unavailable, Naz Reid, who had a stellar fourth quarter in Game 1, would be a candidate for increased minutes, but Karl-Anthony Towns would likely start at center.

Tim Hardaway Jr. DAL SG
Mavericks' Tim Hardaway: Goes through practice
39m agoHardaway (ankle) was spotted going through another practice Monday, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.
Hardaway also practiced on Sunday and continues to trend in the right direction. There should be additional clarity on his status for Game 1 against the Thunder on Tuesday when the Mavericks release their official injury report Monday evening.
-
Evan Mobley CLE PFCavaliers' Evan Mobley: Pulls down 16 boards in Game 7
5h agoMobley supplied 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 FT), 16 rebounds, one assist and five blocks over 41 minutes during Sunday's 106-94 victory over the Magic in Game 7 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Mobley was forced to move to center due to the absence of Jarrett Allen (ribs), but the former delivered another solid performance down low, showing energy on the glass and an accurate touch near the rim. Mobley posted three double-doubles in the series against the Magic while scoring in double digits in all but one of his appearances. He should continue as Cleveland's starting center as long as Allen remains sidelined.
-
Jeremy Swayman BOS GBruins' Jeremy Swayman: Tending twine in Game 1
2h agoSwayman will guard the road goal Monday in Game 1 against Florida, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

2h agoCarlo (personal) will be a game-time decision for Game 1 versus Florida on Monday.
Head coach Jim Montgomery is "very hopeful" that Carlo will be able to join the team ahead of Monday's second-round opener. The 27-year-old blueliner was with his wife, Mayson, to welcome their baby boy, Crew, into the world Monday morning. Carlo has one goal, one assist, 11 shots on net, 16 blocked shots and 16 hits in seven outings this postseason. If Carlo is unavailable to play in Monday's contest, Derek Forbort could be in the lineup for the first time since March 2 after recovering from an undisclosed injury.

William Karlsson LV CGolden Knights' William Karlsson: Plays through injury
14h agoKarlsson played through a lower-body injury during the Golden Knights' first-round playoff series versus the Stars, which concluded with a 2-1 loss in Game 7 on Sunday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
The injury wasn't bad enough to keep Karlsson off the ice, but it was obvious he was struggling, as he was limited to two helpers over seven games. He added nine shots on net, eight hits, five blocked shots and a plus-4 rating from a third-line role. Karlsson was a 60-point contributor in the regular season, and he should fill a middle-six role again in 2024-25.
