The New York Giants hosted free-agent running back Devontae Booker on a tryout on Friday.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Matt Ryan and wide receiver Parris Campbell have shown a strong connection early in training camp practices after they spent plenty of time together away from the team's facilities in the offseason. "When I'm lined up in the slot running those crossers, that's Matt's bread and butter," Campbell said. The 25-year-old has […]

Pat Freiermuth Dealing With Hamstring Injury

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth (hamstring) is dealing with a hamstring injury at training camp.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool (shoulder) suffered a right shoulder injury in training camp practice on Friday and he's being evaluated to determine the severity, according to head coach Mike Tomlin.

Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams (finger), who broke a finger during a recent practice when it got stuck in a helmet, is expected to be back practicing with a club and a special cast for games, according to sources.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (foot), who had surgery to remove a screw from his foot in January, said his foot is all good now.

New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (shoulder) is on track to make his season debut for the Mets next week, according to manager Buck Showalter.

Max Kepler Still Out Against Padres

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (toe) remains out of the starting lineup on Friday against the San Diego Padres. Kepler will miss his third straight game while dealing with a displaced fracture in his right pinkie toe.

Pirates Agree With First-Rounder Termarr Johnson

The Pittsburgh Pirates agreed with infielder Termarr Johnson, the No. 4 pick in this year's draft, to an over-slot deal worth $7,219,000 on Friday.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (elbow) is not in the starting lineup on Friday against the Detroit Tigers.

Willson Contreras Scrubs Cubs References On Social Media

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras has removed everything Cubs-related from his Instagram account.

Yuli Gurriel Steals Sixth Base Thursday

Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel went 1-for-3 with a run scored and his sixth stolen base of the season in Thursday's 4-2 win over the division-rival Seattle Mariners.

The Washington Nationals plan to make another offer to All-Star outfielder Juan Soto, which will be their last. If Soto doesn't accept the offer, he will be traded before Tuesday's deadline.

Romeo Doubs Looks NFL-Ready

Green Bay Packers rookie fourth-round wide receiver Romeo Doubs has looked NFL-ready early in training camp. Doubs was the star of the second practice day when he caught an eight-yard touchdown pass on a fade from quarterback Aaron Rodgers over cornerback Eric Stokes. Winning jump balls is a good way to gain Rodgers' trust, and […]

Baker Mayfield Doesn't Impress Thursday

Carolina Panthers quarterback Baker Mayfield made some poor decisions on the field while taking first-team repetitions at training camp practice on Thursday. Two of his first three passes in 7-on-7 drills should have been intercepted, and they were the type of mistakes the Panthers are trying to eliminate. Head coach Matt Rhule will continue flip-flopping […]

Matt Ryan Pushing The Pace At Training Camp

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Matt Ryan has followed through on his vow to raise the intensity of training camp in his first summer with the Colts, and he's done it by demanding a greater tempo between snaps.
