Cam Ward: Dropped 10 pounds since last season
Ward noted Thursday that he's he's lost 10 pounds during the offseason by focusing on his diet, Turron Davenport of ESPN reports. "I think it'll help me with durability...just being faster, getting up in the pocket, and trying to play my speed," said Ward, who Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site indicates has recovered from an AC joint sprain in his throwing shoulder suffered in Week 18 last season. With that in mind, coach Robert Saleh said Thursday of the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, "his arm's perfectly healthy. He's slinging the ball. I mean, he's got some good velocity on it." As the coming campaign approaches, Ward will be working with a WR corps that welcomes back Calvin Ridley, Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike, and that was notably bolstered by the signing of free agent Wan'Dale Robinson and addition of Carnell Tate via the No. 4 overall pick in the 2026 Draft.Read More -

Roy Robertson-Harris: Suffers Achilles tear
Robertson-Harris suffered an Achilles tear during Thursday's practice, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports. With Robertson-Harris presumably out for most or all of the 2026 season, New York will need more snaps out of veteran signings DJ Reader and Shelby Harris or youngsters Darius Alexander and Bobby Jamison-Travis. The team traded star DT Dexter Lawrence to Cincinnati earlier this offseason, leaving new defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson without a clear standout on the interior line. The Giants are counting on edge rushers Brian Burns, Abdul Carter and Kayvon Thibodeaux to provide the vast majority of sacks and pressures this season. Robertson-Harris has just 19.0 sacks in 134 regular-season games, but he's made 79 starts, including 17 last year in New York.Read More -

Rico Payton: Participating in OTAs
Payton (head) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Payton was evaluated for a concussion to end the season and never returned, but there's no lingering effects to start the offseason program. The 26-year-old has logged 23 tackles (11 solo) -- mostly on special teams -- and two pass breakups through 25 games over his first two years in the league.Read More

Jalen Williams: Unlikely for Game 3
Williams (hamstring) is unlikely to play in Friday's Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals versus San Antonio, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. Although Williams is listed as questionable, he's trending in the wrong direction. He continues to be bothered by a hamstring issue after tweaking it in Game 2. If he's unable to play, the Thunder will likely lean more on Isaiah Joe, Jared McCain and Ajay Mitchell.Read More -

Dylan Harper: Game-time call Friday
Harper (hip) is a game-time call for Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals against the Thunder on Friday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. Harper suffered the injury during Wednesday's Game 2 and is officially questionable to play, but the Spurs will re-evaluate his status following warmups. De'Aaron Fox (ankle) is also questionable for the Spurs, so the team could be shorthanded in the backcourt.Read More -

Jared McCain: Fares well off bench
McCain had 12 points (4-14 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists and two steals in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 122-113 win over San Antonio in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals. While it wasn't the best night for McCain shooting the ball, he saw his largest workload of the postseason. If Jalen Williams (hamstring) is unable to play in Game 3, McCain could again be called upon to play a larger role on the wings.Read More

Ke'Bryan Hayes: Sidelined by back injury
The Reds placed Hayes on the 10-day injured list Friday with a lumbar bulging disc. Per C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic, Hayes' back has been an issue for years and has bothered him off-and-on this season. The plan is for Hayes to get healed up before reporting to the team's spring training complex in Arizona to initiate his rehab. It sounds like an injury that is likely to keep him out beyond 10 days, and the Reds could want Hayes to find a groove at the plate on a rehab assignment before reinstating him. The 29-year-old is slashing an ugly .142/.195/.225this season.Read More -

Eugenio Suárez: Activated from 10-day IL
The Reds activated Suarez (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Friday. He missed exactly one month of action with a left oblique strain but is ready to go after participating in two rehab games, going 1-for-7 with a double. Suarez should resume his role as the Reds' primary designated hitter, though with Ke'Bryan Hayes (back) sidelined, Suarez will also see some action at third base.Read More -

Kyle Leahy: Cardinals-Reds rained out
Leahy will have his start pushed back after Friday's contest against the Reds was postponed due to inclement weather. The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader Saturday, and Leahy will draw a start in one of those tilts. He's collected a 3.94 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 34:20 K:BB through 45.2 innings this season in his transition into the Cardinals' rotation.Read More

Stone (lower body) has been ruled out for Friday's Game 2 against the Avalanche, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports. Stone was present for the Golden Knights' morning skate Friday, but he'll ultimately be sidelined for a fifth consecutive game due to his lower-body injury. Brett Howden will presumably continue to occupy a spot in the top six, while it's not yet clear whether Stone will be able to suit up for Sunday's Game 3 against Colorado.Read More -

Makar (undisclosed) will not be in action to face the Golden Knights in Game 2 on Friday, Eric Francis of Sportsnet reports. Makar skated with the No. 1 power-play unit at Friday's morning skate, but it seems the 27-year-old blueliner still isn't ready to suit up. In the absence of Makar, Devon Toews figures to take on an increased role, including with the man advantage, and should be a player to target in daily formats. For his part, once Makar is cleared, he figures to return to being a 25-plus minute-a-night player.Read More -

Gagne was called up from AHL Colorado on Friday, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports. Gagne has been moving up and down between levels of late, providing emergency defensive depth while Cale Makar (undisclosed) has been sidelined. Even if Makar can't play in Game 2 on Friday, the 23-year-old Gagne shouldn't expect to get into the lineup.Read More
