Xavier Worthy: Impresses coach during minicamp
Coach Andy Reid noted Thursday that Worthy (shoulder) looked good at this week's minicamp, Jesse Newell of The Athletic reports. While Worthy (who is in the final stages of his recovery from a shoulder procedure he underwent in January to repair his labrum) sported a no-contact jersey during the minicamp which concluded Thursday, his efforts nonetheless caught the eye of Reid. "Xavier really had a nice camp," Reid said of the 2024 first-rounder. "Stronger -- that's the part that you like. You really see it. We put him in a lot of the primary positions, and I thought he did a nice job with all of it." Next up for Worthy and the Chiefs will be training camp next month, at which point he may be able to shed his non-contact jersey. He's coming off a 2025 regular season in which he record a modest 42-532-1 receiving line on 73 targets through 14 contests, but Worthy acknowledges that the shoulder injury he sustained on the first drive of the campaign hampered his effectiveness. Assuming no setbacks ahead of Week 1, Worthy could be poised for a bounce-back in 2026 while working as a key option in Kansas City WR corps that is also in line to feature fellow returnee Rashee Rice (knee), with the likes of Tyquan Thornton, Jalen Royals and Cyrus Allen in the mix as well.Read More -

Brenton Strange: Lining up in multiple roles
Strange said Thursday after the Jaguars' final mandatory minicamp practice that his second year in head coach Liam Coen's system feels "a lot less chaotic" despite being asked to line up in "a lot more positions," Garry Smits of the Jacksonville Florida Times-Union reports. "It's just a lot of position changes for me," Strange said, "but I want that. It's a good responsibility to have." The 2023 second-round pick enters the final year of his rookie deal as Jacksonville's clear No. 1 tight end, despite the additions of rookies Nate Boerkircher and Tanner Koziol to a crowded room that also includes veterans Hunter Long and Quintin Morris. Jacksonville's offense figures to lean heavily on multi-TE formations in 2026, but Strange's versatility will help him remain productive even if targets are spread around at the position. He posted a career-best 46-540-3 receiving line in just 12 regular-season games last year and remains one of the league's better blocking tight ends. Though he's eligible for an extension, Strange said his "mind's not on that at all" Thursday when asked about contract talks.Read More -

Ashton Dulin: Competing for expanded role
Dulin has impressed at OTAs and mandatory minicamp and is making a push for the No. 3 wide receiver role behind Alec Pierce (ankle) and Josh Downs, James Boyd of The Athletic reports. Dulin said his approach has been "attacking [the offseason] as if it's my first year, knowing that, that [No. 3] spot is open." After the Colts traded Michael Pittman to Pittsburgh, Stephen Holder of ESPN concurs Dulin has taken an early lead for the No. 3 role over Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Laquon Treadwell and rookie seventh-round pick Deion Burks and was a standout at minicamp. Offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter said Dulin has been moving around the offensive formation at practice and "can be really good for us this year on offense." The 29-year-old totaled a 5-106-0 line across 12 regular-season appearances in 2025 and has topped 200 receiving yards just once in his career.Read More

Karl-Anthony Towns: Double-doubles despite foul issues
Towns logged 13 points (4-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 107-106 victory over the Spurs in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. Towns picked up two fouls within the first minute of the game, ultimately limiting him to just 26 minutes. However, he certainly played a key role for the Knicks down the stretch, as New York recorded the biggest comeback victory in the history of the NBA Finals. Towns continues to play arguably the best basketball of his career, and will hope to ride that momentum into San Antonio when the two teams meet again on Saturday.Read More -

Jalen Brunson: Game-high 36 points in win
Brunson recorded 36 points (12-25 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 9-11 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and three steals over 44 minutes during Wednesday's 107-106 victory over the Spurs in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. Brunson scored at least 30 points for the second straight game, as he continues to do everything humanly possible to bring the NBA title to New York. Despite some inefficient shooting, Brunson has remained calm and collected, highlighted by the improbable comeback Wednesday. Now leading the series 3-1, New York will head to San Antonio on a high, looking to wrap things up in five games.Read More -

Dylan Harper: Goes for 21 points in Game 4 loss
Harper logged 21 points (8-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 107-106 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. Harper continues to make a name for himself on the biggest stage, providing the Spurs with much-needed offensive production. It continues what has been a stellar postseason for the rookie, a fact that will certainly not be lost on fantasy managers heading into the 2026-27 campaign. Now trailing 3-1 in the series, the Spurs will head home for what is obviously a must-win game on Saturday.Read More

Coleman Crow: Shifts to bullpen
Crow permitted one hit and one walk over two scoreless innings of relief Tuesday in the Brewers' 7-5 loss to the Athletics. After he had made his first four big-league appearances as a starter, Crow shifted to the bullpen this week while Milwaukee elected to move forward with Robert Gasser and Shane Drohan as the back-end members of the five-man rotation. Though Crow fared well in his first relief outing, the Brewers aren't likely to pull the plug on developing him as a starter just yet. With that in mind, Crow could sent back to Triple-A Nashville in the near future so that he can continue working out of the rotation.Read More -

Jordan Hicks: Cleared for rehab assignment
Hicks (lat) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports. Hicks went down with a right lat strain three weeks ago but has improved enough that he's ready to test things out in a game setting. As long as he doesn't encounter any bumps in the road, Hicks should rejoin the White Sox's bullpen sometime next week. He's collected a 5.60 ERA and 15:17 K:BB over 17.2 innings for Chicago this season.Read More -

Antwone Kelly: Up with big club
The Pirates recalled Kelly from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. Kelly has logged a 4.50 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 47:24 K:BB across 54 innings with Indianapolis this season. He's been used mostly as a starting pitcher with Indianapolis, but the Pirates will break him in at the major-league level as a reliever.Read More

12 hours agoJack Eichel: Earns two helpers Thursday
Eichel logged two assists, including one on the power play, and added two PIM, two hits and four blocked shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Hurricanes in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals. Eichel played a part in both of Pavel Dorofeyev's goals, but the Golden Knights fell short. They're now behind 3-2 in the series, and Eichel's quiet production has played a part in that. He's been held to four assists over five games against Carolina. Eichel has a total of two goals, 20 helpers, 50 shots on net, 18 hits, 25 blocks, 14 PIM and a plus-5 rating over 21 playoff appearances, and he'll need to be at his best in Sunday's must-win Game 6.Read More -

Dorofeyev scored twice on three shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Hurricanes in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals. Dorofeyev entered the contest on a six-game point drought. He snapped it with the opening goal at 6:52 of the first period, a power-play tally, and he added an even-strength goal in the third, but the Golden Knights couldn't rally off that. Dorofeyev is up to 12 goals, four assists, 52 shots on net and a plus-3 rating over 21 playoff appearances. Vegas will need him to get hot one more time as the team faces elimination in Game 6 on Sunday.Read More -

12 hours agoCarter Hart: Can’t break four-goal curse
Hart allowed four goals on 24 shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Hurricanes in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals. Hart has allowed four goals in each game in this series, and the Golden Knights' offense looks to be wilting under the pressure of having to out-score his mistakes. The 27-year-old took consecutive losses for the first time since the first round with Thursday's loss. He's down to 14-7 this postseason while adding a 2.59 GAA and a .907 save percentage in 21 appearances. Head coach John Tortorella showed no regret in sticking with Hart on Thursday, per Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal, calling a question about a potential switch to Adin Hill a stupid inquiry. That suggests Vegas is likely to ride with Hart in Game 6 on Sunday, pending a potential change in strategy in the next few days. Vegas is one of two teams to have won at least one round while also utilizing just one goalie this postseason.Read More
