Will Grier CAR QBWill Grier: Elects to retire
2h agoGrier announced Wednesday that he will retire from the NFL, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
In conjunction with the QB's decision to hang up his cleats, the Panthers placed Grier on the reserve/retired list Wednesday. Now that he's no longer in the mix, the Panthers currently roster veteran backup Kenny Pickett and undrafted rookie Haynes King behind starting signal caller Bryce Young.

George Pickens DAL WRCowboys' George Pickens: Tag deadline passes
2h agoPickens is set to play the 2026 season on the one-year, $27.3 million franchise tag after he and the Cowboys did not reach a long-term extension before Wednesday's deadline, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Pickens has voiced his willingness to play on the one-year franchise tag, so Wednesday's deadline passing without a new contract doesn't come as a surprise. Playing for a long-term deal or future free-agency payday should only reinforce his fantasy appeal as one of the top downfield and red-zone targets for Dak Prescott (knee), and alongside CeeDee Lamb

Travis Etienne NO RBSaints' Travis Etienne: Set to combine with Kamara
2h agoEtienne's teammate, Alvin Kamara, has reportedly agreed to remain with the Saints this season on a reworked contract, Arye Pulli of USA Today reports.
There had been speculation about Kamara's status with the Saints this offseason, but his amended deal paves the way for him to work in tandem this season with Etienne, who inked a four-year, $52 million deal with the team in March. As Pulli notes, Kamara's return gives New Orleans two proven playmakers in the backfield. Etienne -- who ran for 1,107 yards on 260 carries in 17 regular-season games with the Jaguars last season -- is thus poised to handle a significant portion of his new team's rushing workload in 2026, while Kamara -- a versatile receiving back -- is available to see his share of touches as well in an RB corps that also includes Devin Neal and Kendre Miller.

Alvin Kamara NO RBSaints' Alvin Kamara: Finalizing new deal with Saints
2h agoKamara and New Orleans are finalizing terms on a new contract, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Kamara is closing in on a new deal that will allow him to remain with the Saints, presumably by lowering the $10.4 million cap hit his current contract carries for the 2026 campaign. The soon-to-be 31-year-old has spent his entire NFL career to date in New Orleans and remains a versatile playmaker capable of contributing in a valuable complementary role behind new starting running back Travis Etienne. Across 11 regular-season appearances in 2025, Kamara rushed 131 times for 471 yards and one score and secured 33 of 39 targets for 186 yards.

Patrick Mahomes KC QBChiefs' Patrick Mahomes: Aims to play Week 1
3h agoMahomes (knee) continues to aim to be ready for the Chiefs' regular-season opener against the Broncos on Sept. 14, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.
"That's my goal," Mahomes noted Wednesday during an interview with Yahoo Sports. "I've said that since the beginning is being ready to go Week 1. I can't predict the future and I know that it's a long process. It's not just my decision, but at the same time I'm going to give the doctors and the coaches every single opportunity I can to let me be out there Week 1." With that in mind, Nate Taylor of ESPN.com relayed last month that coach Andy Reid said Mahomes (knee) should "be able to do some things in camp," with added context on that front set to arrive after the Chiefs' veterans report on July 28th. Mahomes -- who is bouncing back from a torn ACL and LCL suffered in Week 15 of last season -- participated in offseason workouts but was held out of full-team drills.

Nate Carter ATL RBFalcons' Nathan Carter: In mix for No. 3 gig
5h agoCarter will compete with Tyler Goodson and Cash Jones for the Falcons' No. 3 running back spot during training camp, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports.
Carter handled a depth role last season, rushing nine times for 60 yards across seven regular-season appearances while also playing 49 snaps on special teams. Bijan Robinson and Brian Robinson Jr. are locked into the top two backfield roles, so Carter's path to the roster depends on how much special-teams value he's able to demonstrate, as well as holding off Goodson and Jones. Even if he wins the No. 3 job, Carter won't have a path to fantasy relevance as long as Atlanta's top two running backs remain on the field.

Jhony Brito SD RPPadres' Jhony Brito: Recalled by San Diego
17m agoThe Padres recalled Brito from Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday.
The move corresponds with the Padres placing Wandy Peralta (personal) on the bereavement list. Brito appeared in two games out of the Padres' bullpen prior to the All-Star break, and in his most recent outing against the Blue Jays this past Friday, he allowed two runs on three hits and one walk while striking out two across 2.2 innings.

Wandy Peralta SD RPPadres' Wandy Peralta: Placed on bereavement list
20m agoThe Padres placed Peralta (personal) on the bereavement list Wednesday.
Peralta will miss the start of the second half of the regular season while attending to a personal matter, with right-hander Jhony Brito being called up from Triple-A El Paso in a corresponding move. Prior to the All-Star break, Peralta posted a 2.23 ERA, 1.28 WHIP three holds and a 31:19 K:BB across 48.1 innings.
-
Michael Burrows HOU SPAstros' Mike Burrows: Week away from mound work
26m agoGeneral manager Dana Brown said Wednesday that Burrows (elbow) is expected to begin throwing off a mound within the next 7-to-10 days, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Burrows was placed on the injured list Monday due to right elbow neuritis. He remains without an official timeline, though the fact that he's at least a week out from resuming bullpen work suggests that he won't be ready to return after the 15-day minimum. Once he's healthy, the Astros are likely to option him back to Triple-A Sugar Land.

Keegan Akin BAL RPOrioles' Keegan Akin: Undergoes Tommy John surgery
2h agoAkin (elbow) underwent Tommy John surgery Wednesday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Dr. Keith Meister performed the surgery after Akin sought out a second opinion on his left elbow. He was originally diagnosed with inflammation, but the problem was obviously much worse. Akin will miss the remainder of the 2026 season and likely most of the 2027 campaign. The 31-year-old appeared in 24 games (two starts) for the Orioles this season, logging a 5.68 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 17:9 K:BB across 25.1 innings.

Zack Wheeler PHI SPPhillies' Zack Wheeler: Not starting this weekend
2h agoWheeler will not make a start during this weekend's series with the Mets, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
Both Cristopher Sanchez and Wheeler will not start during the upcoming three-game series against the Mets, as Philadelphia will throw Aaron Nola on Thursday followed by Jesus Luzardo and Alan Rangel on Saturday and Sunday. By doing so, Sanchez and Wheeler will be lined up to start the first two games of next week's three-game series against the Dodgers. Wheeler went 10-1 with a 2.13 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 108:22 K:BB across 93 innings prior to the All-Star break.

Cristopher Sanchez PHI SPPhillies' Cristopher Sanchez: Not starting this weekend
2h agoSanchez will not make a start during this weekend's series with the Mets, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
Philadelphia will start Aaron Nola on Thursday followed by Jesus Luzardo and Alan Rangel on Saturday and Sunday. By pushing Sanchez and Zack Wheeler back in the rotation, it will allow the duo to start the first two games of next week's three-game set with the Dodgers. Firmly in the mix for the NL Cy Young award, Sanchez pitched to an 11-4 record, 2.62 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 144:25 K:BB during the first half of the season. He also started the All-Star Game for the National League but was roughed up for three runs on three hits and two walks with two strikeouts in his lone inning.

Mouhamed Gueye ATL PFHawks' Mouhamed Gueye: Out 3-to-4 months with foot injury
28m agoGueye underwent surgery Tuesday to repair a fractured left foot that he suffered during a workout last week, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Gueye will be re-evaluated by medical staff in 3-to-4 months, which means he'll miss all of training camp and preseason and likely the start of the 2026-27 regular season. It's a brutal blow for the fourth-year big man, given that the Hawks used the No. 23 overall pick of the 2026 NBA Draft to select St. John's product Zuby Ejiofor. Gueye's absence means Ejiofor will have more opportunities in the preseason, and the rookie could establish a key role off the bench behind Onyeka Okongwu and projected backup center Jock Landale (ankle).

Jayden Quaintance SA CSpurs' Jayden Quaintance: Undergoes knee surgery
31m agoQuaintance underwent right knee surgery Wednesday and has no timetable for a return, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.
The rookie center faced severe complications and persistent knee swelling last season following February 2025 ACL surgery, and a follow-up procedure was required. It remains to be seen how long he will be sidelined for, but this certainly puts his status for training camp in doubt.

CJ Huntley PHO PFSuns' CJ Huntley: Won't play Wednesday
41m agoHuntley (hamstring) is out for Wednesday's Summer League game against the Pistons, per Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic.

Jase Richardson ORL PGMagic's Jase Richardson: Game-high 25 points in return
1h agoRichardson (undisclosed) finished with 25 points (10-15 FG, 3-5 3Pt,1-1 FT), two rebounds, four assists and three steals in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 99-92 Summer League win over the 76ers.
Richardson shined in his return from a one-game absence for undisclosed reasons. The 2025 second-rounder is preparing for his second season with the Magic and is aiming to make a case for a reserve role in 2026-27.

Cole Perfetti WPG CJets' Cole Perfetti: Gets five-year contract
2h agoPerfetti signed five-year, $30 million contract with the Jets on Wednesday.
Perfetti was a restricted free agent. He had 12 goals, 32 points, 20 PIM, 54 hits and 33 blocks in 68 regular-season appearances with Winnipeg in 2025-26. That was down from 50 points during the 2024-25 regular season, but it was also his fourth consecutive campaign with at least 30 points. He's still just 24 years old and has the potential to establish himself as a solid top-six forward.
-
Matej Blumel BOS RWMatej Blumel: Signs with Czech club
9h agoBlumel signed a four-year contract with HC Sparta Praha on Wednesday.
Blumel's decision to ink such a long contract could mark the end of his NHL career. The 26-year-old winger has tallied two goals, 21 shots and 15 hits in 17 career regular-season games for the Stars and Bruins. He had 21 goals and 52 points in 58 appearances for AHL Providence during the 2025-26 regular season.
-
Anthony Mantha PIT RWDevils' Anthony Mantha: Secures two-year pact
9h agoMantha agreed to terms on a two-year, $9.5 million contract with New Jersey on Wednesday.
Mantha racked up 33 goals and 31 assists, setting new personal bests in both categories, across 81 regular-season games with the Penguins in 2025-26. He also tied his previous career high with 13 power-play points. With the Devils, the 31-year-old winger should be in the mix for a top-six role and power-play minutes.
-
Nicholas Robertson PIT LWPenguins' Nicholas Robertson: Avoids arbitration
1d agoRobertson signed a two-year, $6.5 million contract with Pittsburgh on Tuesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Robertson had been headed for an arbitration hearing, but it seems the two sides were able to work out a deal. In 78 regular-season games with the Leafs last year, the 24-year-old winger notched 16 goals and 16 assists, reaching the 30-point threshold for the first time in his career. For now, Robertson can likely be penciled in for a third-line role, but he could move up the lineup later in the year.
-
Ronnie Attard COL DRed Wings' Ronnie Attard: Signs with Detroit
2d agoAttard inked a one-year, two-way contract with the Red Wings on Monday.
Attard spent this past year with AHL Colorado, contributing three goals, 17 points and a plus-3 rating over 44 regular-season games. The 2019 third-round pick hasn't appeared in an NHL game since the 2023-24 campaign, when he was with the Flyers. Attard will provide the Red Wings with organizational depth for the 2026-27 season.

Braden Schneider NYR DRangers' Braden Schneider: Agrees to terms with Rangers
2d agoSchneider signed a one-year, $5.5 million contract with the Rangers on Monday, Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic reports.
Schneider was a restricted free agent to begin the offseason, but he'll avoid arbitration with the Rangers by agreeing to his one-year deal.
