Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Sammy Watkins (rest) was held out of Saturday's practice session, likely due to rest purposes.

Jaire Alexander Hits Injured Reserve

Trae Young Ruled Out For Wednesday’s Game

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (quad) has been deemed unavailable to play in Wednesday's preseason contest against Cleveland.

Delon Wright will draw the […]

Detroit Pistons power forward/center Trey Lyles is joining his fourth franchise ahead of his seventh NBA season.

Phoenix Suns point/shooting guard Devin Booker has been ruled out for Wednesday's preseason contest against the Lakers, and a return to game action remains days away with him being in the league's COVID-19 protols.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (ankle) has been deemed a game-time decision for Monday's matchup vs. the Chargers, per head coach Jon Gruden.
