Trey Sermon IND RBSteelers' Trey Sermon: Set to join Pittsburgh
19h agoThe Steelers are signing Sermon to a one-year contract, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.
Sermon was a third-round draft pick by the 49ers in 2021, but he's yet to make a major impact at the NFL level. The 26-year-old spent the past two seasons with Indianapolis, and he logged a career-high 236 offensive snaps over 17 regular-season games last year, though he averaged just 2.8 yards on 56 carries while scoring a career-high two rushing touchdowns. Sermon also logged 99 yards on 16 catches and contributed on special teams late in the campaign. With Najee Harris now with the Chargers, Pittsburgh has rebuilt its running back room behind returning starter Jaylen Warren, adding both Sermon and Kenneth Gainwell in free agency along with third-round draft choice Kaleb Johnson.

Dre Greenlaw DEN LBBroncos' Dre Greenlaw: On track for training camp
2d agoBroncos head coach Sean Payton said Saturday that Greenlaw (quadriceps) is "on schedule" and "will be a full participant in training camp," Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.
Greenlaw suffered a torn quadriceps while training in April, and while it sounds like the injury could limit the veteran linebacker during OTAs and/or mandatory minicamp, he remains fully on track for training camp. After signing a three-year, $35 million contract with Denver this offseason, Greenlaw is on track to handle a starting role at inside linebacker for the Broncos.

Quincy Riley NO CBSaints' Quincy Riley: Recovering from surgery
2d agoRiley (undisclosed) is not participating in Saturday's rookie minicamp session due to his recovery from offseason surgery, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Saints head coach Kellen Moore declined to reveal the specifics of Riley's surgery, but he did note that the rookie fourth-round pick's current injury is unrelated to the ankle issue he dealt with during his time at Louisville. The next chance for Riley to take a tangible step forward in his recovery and begin handling on-field work will come during OTAs in late May or mandatory minicamp in June.

Kalel Mullings TEN RBTitans' Kalel Mullings: Limited at rookie minicamp
2d agoTitans head coach Brian Callahan said Saturday that Mullings (abdomen) is recovering from core muscle surgery and will be limited at rookie minicamp, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports.
Tennessee selected Mullings in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft with knowledge of his offseason procedure, so his current capped participation level at rookie minicamp is simply the result of following his recovery timetable. Once fully healthy, Mullings will work to earn a depth role behind Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears (concussion). Callahan said the Titans are "just being careful with [Mullings] at this point," per Zach Dimmitt of SI.com.
-
Kevin Winston Jr. TEN SAFTitans' Kevin Winston Jr.: Not participating yet
2d agoTitans head coach Brian Callahan said Saturday that Winston (knee) isn't ready to practice in full at rookie minicamp but will be on the practice field, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports.
Winston missed most of the 2024 college season due to a right ACL injury but progressed enough in his recovery to run the 40-yard dash at Penn State's pro day, with Tennessee then selecting him in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Callahan called Winston "limited" to start rookie minicamp, per Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site, so mandatory minicamp in June may be the next significant chance he'll have to notably increase his on-field activity level.

Jake Haener NO QBSaints' Jake Haener: Will compete for QB1 job
2d agoSaints head coach Kellen Moore said Saturday that all three of the team's currently rostered quarterbacks -- Haener, Tyler Shough and Spencer Rattler -- will have an opportunity to compete for the starting quarterback role during camp in the wake of Derek Carr's retirement, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Carr's unexpected retirement Saturday swung the door wide open for one of New Orleans' three young quarterbacks to take the reigns as the team's starting QB in 2025. None of the trio has much experience -- Shough is a rookie, Haener has thrown just 39 NFL passes, and Rattler has thrown 228 passes -- so they are beginning the competition on a pretty level playing field in that regard. However, Haener is probably a longshot to earn the QB1 nod based on the fact that Rattler was the primary choice to step in last season after Carr was hurt, while Shough has the most invested in him, as the Saints selected him in the second round of April's NFL Draft. Haener also looked overwhelmed in his lone NFL start, completing just four of 10 passes for 49 yards and an interception in Week 15 last season before being benched after halftime.

Kendall Graveman ARI RPDiamondbacks' Kendall Graveman: On hand with D-backs
23m agoGraveman (back) was with the Diamondbacks prior to Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.
Graveman just finished off a three-game rehab assignment Friday, and all signs point to him being activated at some point during the series against the Giants that kicks off Monday. He pitched 3.1 scoreless innings during his rehab stint. A closer at various points during his career, Graveman is expected to serve in a setup role.

Justin Martinez ARI RPDiamondbacks' Justin Martinez: Bullpen session goes well
29m agoMartinez (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Sunday, MLB.com reports.
This was Martinez's first session on a mound since he was shut down with shoulder inflammation, or a dead arm as manager Torey Lovullo had described it. The report indicates the session went "real well," and that the reliever felt good. The manager also used the word "sizzling" to describe how the ball has been coming out of Martinez's hand while he worked through his throwing program, according to Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic. A return for this coming weekend's series against the Rockies is a possibility.

Tim Tawa ARI 2BDiamondbacks' Tim Tawa: MLB window may close
38m agoTawa's time in the majors may come to an end, if the Diamondbacks intend to call-up Jordan Lawlar from Triple-A Reno, as reported by Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic.
The obvious question regarding Lawlar, the organization's top prospect, is where he would play, given that Arizona has incumbents at the three positions at which he has experience: second base, shortstop and third base. The report suggests a utility role for Lawler -- three to four times per week -- which is duplicative of Tawa's current role. That notion was supported by manager Torey Lovullo, who said Sunday that he wants impact players on the roster regardless of fit.

Jordan Lawlar ARI SSDiamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Promotion imminent
5h agoThe Diamondbacks are "set to recall" Lawlar from Triple-A Reno, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports. Lawlar is hitting .336/.418/.579 at Reno while splitting time between second base, shortstop and third base.
The big question surrounding Lawlar, who is the Diamondbacks' top prospect, is where is he going to get the playing time? The team has solid incumbents at all three positions, including two (Ketel Marte and Geraldo Perdomo) that recently signed contract extensions. The presumption drawn from Piecoro's article is that Lawlar will likely play around four times per week, giving the various regulars on the team a periodic day off.

George Kirby SEA SPMariners' George Kirby: Completes second rehab start
5h agoKirby (shoulder) completed his second minor-league rehab start with Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks with five strikeouts in three innings, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
Kirby threw 54 pitches (36 strikes) Saturday, and his fastball touched 97 mph. The hard-throwing right-hander is next expected to make a third rehab appearance while he enters the final stages of his recovery from right shoulder inflammation. If all continues to go well, Kirby should be able to make his season debut for the Mariners at some point before the end of May.

Nick Pivetta SD SPPadres' Nick Pivetta: Roughed up for six runs
7h agoPivetta (5-2) took the loss Sunday against the Rockies, allowing six runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five in four innings.
Pivetta surrendered a home run for a third consecutive start when he gave up a first-inning three-run blast to Hunter Goodman. The damage continued in the third, with Goodman supplying a two-run triple and then eventually coming in to score. Pivetta went fewer than five innings for just the second time this year. He had given up just six earned runs in his last five starts combined, including a seven-inning scoreless outing against the Rockies on April 11. Pivetta's ERA raised over a full point to 3.05, and he'll look to rebound in a home start versus the Mariners over the weekend.

T.J. McConnell IND PGPacers' T.J. McConnell: Flirts with double-double in win
5h agoMcConnell chipped in 13 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 18 minutes during Sunday's 129-109 victory over the Cavaliers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
McConnell turned in a vintage performance, falling just two assists short of a double-double. Despite the fact Tyrese Haliburton was struggling, Indiana cruised to victory, thanks in part to the guard play of McConnell. Although his numbers don't always reflect his effort, McConnell continues to play a key role off the bench, something he will look to continue Tuesday in Game 5.
-
James Johnson IND PFPacers' James Johnson: Logs season-high eight minutes
5h agoJohnson totaled two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two assists, two blocks and one steal over eight minutes during Sunday's 129-109 victory over the Cavaliers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
The fact Johnson managed to see eight minutes should tell you everything you need to know about the one-sided nature of this game. Leading by 41 points at the half, Indiana was afforded the luxury of resting their stars down the stretch, allowing Johnson, among others, to close out the game. The Pacers will look to close out the series Tuesday, back in Cleveland.
-
Obi Toppin IND PFPacers' Obi Toppin: Drops 20 points in thumping win
5h agoToppin chipped in 20 points (9-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-3 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 21 minutes during Sunday's 129-109 victory over the Cavaliers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Toppin dropped 20 points in 21 minutes, helping the Pacers to an emphatic Game 4 victory over the Cavaliers. This was the first time Toppin has scored at least 20 points since a win over Denver back on April 6. Now leading the series 3-1, Indiana have a chance to wrap things up when the two teams meet again Tuesday.
-
Javonte Green CLE SGCavaliers' Javonte Green: Limited role continues Sunday
5h agoGreen accumulated two points (0-1 FG, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds over seven minutes during Sunday's 129-109 loss to the Pacers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Green continues to play a minimal role, logging no more than 10 minutes for the seventh time in the past eight games. The Game 4 loss now sees Cleveland on the brink of elimination, needing to win all three remaining games, starting with Game 5 on Tuesday.
-
Jaylon Tyson CLE SFCavaliers' Jaylon Tyson: Pops for 11 points in loss
5h agoTyson totaled 11 points (2-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal over 12 minutes during Sunday's 129-109 loss to the Pacers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Tyson suited up for just the fourth time this postseason, playing an increased role as the Cavaliers slumped to an embarrassing loss. This game was over at the half after Indiana posted an incredible 80 points in 24 minutes. Cleveland will need to turn things around in Game 5, now having to secure three straight victories to advance to the Conference Finals.
-
Jarrett Allen CLE CCavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Disappears in Game 4 loss
5h agoAllen ended with two points (0-1 FG, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one block over 20 minutes during Sunday's 129-109 loss to the Pacers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Allen was non-existent Sunday, delivering what was easily his worst performance of the postseason. He wasn't alone in that respect, adding to what was an embarrassing loss for Cleveland. Prior to the loss, Allen had been one of the more consistent producers, a level of play he'll need to quickly rediscover with Cleveland now facing elimination at home in Tuesday's Game 5.
-
Josh Morrissey WPG DJets' Josh Morrissey: Flashes playmaking skills Sunday
6h agoMorrissey threaded an assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Stars in Game 3.
Morrissey's hands and vision were on full display when he danced around the Stars' Colin Blackwell inside the blue line and found Nino Niederreiter for a one-timer to tie the game at 2-2, but the Jets were blanked by Jake Oettinger the rest of the way. Morrissey has earned a helper in back-to-back outings after sitting out Game 1 due to an upper-body injury, and he'll be heavily relied upon for offense again in Game 4 on Tuesday as the Jets try to avoid a 3-1 series deficit. The 30-year-old defenseman has logged no less than 22:39 of ice time in both matchups since returning to the lineup, so he doesn't seem to be bothered by the injury that knocked him out of Game 7 in the first round against St. Louis.
-
Nino Niederreiter WPG RWJets' Nino Niederreiter: Extends point streak Sunday
6h agoNiederreiter registered a goal on his only shot, four hits and two PIM in Sunday's 5-2 loss to Dallas in Game 3.
Niederreiter tied the score at 2-2 midway through the second period, but Winnipeg was unable to beat Jake Oettinger the rest of the way. The 32-year-old Niederreiter was held without a point in the first four games of the playoffs, but over the last six outings, the left-shot winger has delivered four goals and two assists. The 2010 first-round pick will try to stretch his point streak to four and help his team even the series in Game 4 on Tuesday.
-
Kyle Connor WPG LWJets' Kyle Connor: Back on scoresheet in Game 3
6h agoConnor netted a goal on a game-high six shots and doled out two hits in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Stars in Game 3.
This was Connor's first goal in five games, and it also marked the first time he has found the scoresheet in this series. The left-shot winger's production will need to increase in order for the Jets to overcome a 2-1 series deficit, but the same could be said for the rest of his teammates, as Connor leads the club in playoff scoring by a margin of five points. Connor has five goals, eight assists (three with the man advantage) and a plus-1 rating while averaging 22:20 of ice time over 10 postseason contests.
-
Alexander Petrovic DAL DStars' Alex Petrovic: Scores second career playoff goal
7h agoPetrovic found the back of the net on his only shot, threw two hits and went plus-1 in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Jets in Game 3.
Petrovic's marker was subjected to a lengthy review to determine if he distinctly kicked the puck into the net, but the goal was ultimately upheld. This was Petrovic's first playoff tally since 2015-16 when he was with the Panthers. The right-shot blueliner appeared in just five regular-season games in 2024-25, but he's already doubled that total in the postseason. He's been steady on the third pairing, chipping in a goal, an assist, six shots on net, 22 hits and 10 blocked shots while receiving 13:55 of ice time. If Petrovic continues to hold his own on the blue line, he could earn himself a full-time role in the regular season in 2025-26.
-
Aaron Ekblad FLA DPanthers' Aaron Ekblad: Nabs helper Sunday
7h agoEkblad notched an assist, two shots on goal, three hits and 10 PIM in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Maple Leafs in Game 4.
Ekblad has a helper in each of the last three games since returning from a suspension he earned in the first round versus the Lightning. The defenseman set up Sam Bennett with a stretch pass in the third period of Sunday's low-scoring win. Ekblad has four points, nine shots on net, 14 hits, six blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over five playoff appearances in a top-four role.
-
Wyatt Johnston DAL CStars' Wyatt Johnston: Nets goal in home win
7h agoJohnston scored a goal on two shots and levied four hits in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Jets in Game 3.
Johnston was held without a point in the first two matchups of this series, but he helped seal the win by giving Dallas a 5-2 lead in the final stanza. The 21-year-old has delivered four goals and four helpers over 10 playoff games, but his minus-11 rating is the worst mark on the team. Johnston will look to improve that number when the Stars host the Jets in Game 4 on Tuesday.
