Nick Gates PHI OG
Eagles' Nick Gates: Placed on injured reserve
1h agoThe Eagles placed Gates (groin) on injured reserve Saturday.
Gates appeared in nine regular-season games with one start for Philadelphia this season, but he has been dealing with a groin injury as of late. Moving him to IR also opened up space on the active roster for Eagles defensive stalwart Brandon Graham, who was officially activated from injured Saturday. With Gates officially out of action, starting left guard Landon Dickerson will likely serve as the backup center behind Cam Jurgens.

Brandon Graham PHI DE
Eagles' Brandon Graham: Activated from IR
1h agoThe Eagles activated Graham (elbow) from injured reserve Saturday.
Graham has been on IR since late November, when he suffered a torn triceps, which was initially deemed to be season-ending. But, things changed after the Eagles won the NFC Championship Game, as he returned to practice Jan. 30 and has been tracking toward suiting up for the Super Bowl versus Kansas City. The 36-year-old was listed as questionable on Friday's final injury report, and his ultimate availability will be revealed 90 minutes before Sunday's 6:30 p.m. ET kickoff. Graham tallied 20 tackles and 3.5 sacks over the first 11 games of the season.

Jalen Carter PHI DT
Eagles' Jalen Carter: Ready for Super Bowl LIX
1d agoCarter practiced in full Friday and does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX.
Carter logged a trio of full practice sessions this week despite being listed with a groin injury. The standout second-year pro notched 4.5 sacks over 16 regular-season appearances this season, plus 2.0 sacks across three postseason games. Carter will fill his usual role at the helm of Philadelphia's interior defensive line, which may also receive a boost via the activation of Brandon Graham (elbow) from IR.

Brandon Graham PHI DE
Eagles' Brandon Graham: Officially listed as questionable
1d agoGraham (elbow), who remains on injured reserve, practiced in full Friday and is officially listed as questionable for Super Bowl LIX against the Chiefs on Sunday.
Graham said Wednesday that he expects to be activated to the 53-man roster and play versus Kansas City, but the Eagles will have to make such a move official by Saturday's deadline. The 34-year-old edge rusher is recovering from November surgery for a triceps tear, and Friday was his first time practicing in full since sustaining the injury.
-
C.J. Uzomah PHI TE
Eagles' C.J. Uzomah: Questionable for Super Bowl
1d agoUzomah (abdomen), who remains on IR, practiced in full Friday and is officially listed as questionable for Super Bowl LIX on Sunday.
Uzomah continues to practice in full, a sign that he's healthy enough to contribute during the Super Bowl, but the Eagles will need to officially activate the veteran tight end to the 53-man roster by Saturday's deadline in order for him to compete versus Kansas City. If Uzomah is activated in time to suit up Sunday, he'll slot in behind Dallas Goedert and Grant Calcaterra on the positional depth chart.
-
Cam Jurgens PHI C
Eagles' Cam Jurgens: Cleared to face Kansas City
1d agoJurgens (back) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's Super Bowl LIX matchup versus Kansas City.
Jurgens practiced in full this week, and both he and LG Landon Dickerson (knee) are cleared to play Sunday. Jurgens was unable to start the NFC Championship Game two weeks ago against the Commanders but did come on in relief after Dickerson went down with an injury. Jurgens should be back at center for the Super Bowl, allowing Dickerson to kick back to left guard.

Eury Perez MIA SP
Marlins' Eury Perez: Throwing bullpens
6h agoPerez (elbow) threw a bullpen session Friday, working in his changeup along with fastballs, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
The young right-hander is aiming to rejoin the Marlins' rotation around the All-Star break after undergoing Tommy John surgery in April 2024. "I'll say I feel very good right now," Perez said after Friday's session. "I will say 75 percent, just to put it out there in a number. But we're doing very well, just getting better." Perez began playing catch last September, and so far his recovery is proceeding as planned. In his absence, Valente Bellozo, Max Meyer and Adam Mazur are the leading candidates to fill out the back of Miami's rotation.

Jason Heyward HOU RF
Padres' Jason Heyward: Signs with Friars
17h agoHeyward agreed to terms on a contract with the Padres on Friday, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.
Heyward got off to a rough start with the Dodgers last season, slashing just .208/.289/.393 across 197 plate appearances before being released by the team in late August. He was able to latch on with Houston and ended the regular season on a relatively positive note, going 12-for-55 with four homers and nine RBI over 24 regular-season games. Now in San Diego, the 35-year-old will likely form a platoon in left field with Connor Joe, who also signed a one-year pact with the Padres on Friday.
-
Anthony Rendon LAA 3B
Angels' Anthony Rendon: Not likely to start
18h agoRendon isn't expected to be the Angels' Opening Day third baseman, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Rendon played in just 57 games last season, marking the fifth time in as many years that he has appeared in less than 60 contests for the Angels. The 34-year-old also wasn't particularly effective when he was active, slashing just .218/.307/.267 with 14 RBI and six stolen bases over 238 plate appearances. The Halos agreed to a one-year pact with Yoan Moncada on Thursday, and the expectation is that he will take over at the hot corner while Rendon presumably moves to the bench.
-
Yoan Moncada CHW 3B
Angels' Yoan Moncada: Expected to start for Halos
18h agoMoncada is expected to open the season as the Angels' starting third baseman, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Moncada agreed to a one-year contract with Los Angeles on Thursday, and it now seems the Angels brought him in with the intent of replacing Anthony Rendon, who has yet to play more than 58 games in a season since joining the Angels in 2020. Moncada has also struggled to stay on the field recently, appearing in just 104 games over the past two years to Rendon's 100, but the former's production in that span (.733 OPS) far outpaces the latter's (.618 OPS).
-
Connor Joe PIT RF
Padres' Connor Joe: Headed to San Diego
23h agoJoe signed a contract with the Padres on Friday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Joe was non-tendered by the Pirates in November after spending the last two seasons in Pittsburgh. He appeared in 256 regular-season games for the Pirates and slashed .238/.330/.396 with 20 home runs and 78 RBI over that span. The 32-year-old Joe should see some playing time in the outfield and at first base for the Padres in 2025.

Jhonathan Diaz SEA RP
Jhonathan Diaz: Enters open market
23h agoDiaz cleared waivers Friday and elected to become a free agent.
Diaz ended up as the Mariners' roster casualty following the acquisition of Casey Legumina. After going unclaimed off waivers, Diaz will now exercise his right to leave the organization and explore other options. The 28-year-old righty owns a 4.80 ERA and 1.73 WHIP across 45 career MLB innings.

Anthony Davis DAL C
Mavericks' Anthony Davis: Doubtful to return Saturday
9m agoDavis (abdomen/groin) is doubtful to return for Saturday's game against the Rockets.
Davis suffered an apparent groin injury during his debut with the Mavericks against the Rockets on Saturday, which now has his status as doubtful to return to the game. Prior to the injury, the superstar big man racked up 26 points, 16 rebounds, seven assists and three blocks in 31 minutes for Dallas.

Brandon Ingram TOR SF
Raptors' Brandon Ingram: Another absence coming
18m agoIngram (ankle) is out for Sunday's game versus the Rockets, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Ingram hasn't played since Dec. 7 due to a sprained left ankle. While there is no specific timetable for Ingram's return, his next chance to take the floor is Tuesday's matchup with Philadelphia.
-
Jakob Poeltl TOR C
Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Still out due to hip injury
24m agoPoeltl (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rockets, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Poeltl will be sidelined for a third straight game due to a right hip pointer. Jonathan Mogbo got the start at center against the Thunder on Friday, and he should retain that role due to Poeltl's absence. Poeltl's next opportunity to play will be Tuesday against the 76ers.
-
RJ Barrett TOR SF
Raptors' RJ Barrett: Won't play Sunday vs. Houston
27m agoBarrett (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rockets, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Barrett will miss a fourth consecutive game as he has not been able to clear the league's concussion protocol. His next opportunity to take the floor will be Tuesday against the 76ers. Ja'Kobe Walter and Ochai Agbaji are candidates to start Sunday due to the absences of Barrett and new acquisition Brandon Ingram (ankle).

Anthony Davis DAL C
Mavericks' Anthony Davis: Exits Saturday's game due to injury
31m agoDavis (abdomen/groin) went to the locker room late in the third quarter of Saturday's game against the Rockets, Noah Weber of TheSmokingCuban.com reports.
Davis had been dealing with an abdominal muscle strain prior to being traded to Dallas on Saturday. He was cleared to play Saturday, but he went down late in the third quarter and appeared to be grabbing his abdominal/groin area. He quickly went to the locker room after being subbed out of the game, and it's unclear whether he'll be cleared to return. With P.J. Washington (ankle) ruled out for the rest of the contest, Naji Marshall and Olivier-Maxence Prosper should see increased minutes off the bench for as long as Davis is out of the game.
-
Justin Edwards PHI SF
76ers' Justin Edwards: Inks standard deal
35m agoThe 76ers converted Edwards' two-way contract to a standard deal for the remainder of the 2024-25 season Saturday, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Edwards will take up one of the roster spots vacated when the 76ers traded away Caleb Martin (hip) and KJ Martin. Edwards has split time between the NBA and G League this season as a two-way player but will get to spend the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign with the 76ers. The rookie forward has also started in Philadelphia's last seven outings, averaging 10.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.0 steals in 31.4 minutes.

Victor Olofsson LV RW
Golden Knights' Victor Olofsson: Suffers upper-body injury
4m agoOlofsson won't return to Saturday's clash against Boston because of an upper-body injury, per Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Olofsson logged just one shift before he had to exit the game. He entered Saturday's action with 11 goals and 20 points in 34 appearances in 2024-25. Vegas is off until Feb. 22 because of the 4 Nations Face-Off, so Olofsson will have plenty of time to rest before he's in danger of missing further games.
-
Conor Timmins TOR D
Maple Leafs' Conor Timmins: Out Saturday
13m agoTimmins (upper body) will miss Saturday's clash against Vancouver, per Mark Masters of TSN.
Timmins is set to miss his second straight game. He has a goal and seven points in 44 appearances this season. This is the Leafs' final game before the 4 Nations Face-Off, so his next opportunity to play will come Feb. 22 versus Carolina.

Mark Jankowski NSH C
Predators' Mark Jankowski: Moves to IR
14m agoJankowski (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, according to Nick Kieser of 102.5 ESPN Nashville.
Nashville recalled Ozzy Wiesblatt from AHL Milwaukee in a corresponding move. Jankowski is week-to-week and will miss his ninth straight game versus Buffalo on Saturday. He has produced three goals, eight points, 38 shots on net, 17 blocked shots and 23 hits across 37 appearances this season.
-
Ozzy Wiesblatt NSH C
Predators' Ozzy Wiesblatt: Up from AHL
15m agoWiesblatt was called up by Nashville on Saturday, per Nick Kieser of 102.5 ESPN Nashville.
Wiesblatt has 11 goals, 23 points and 56 PIM in 41 outings with AHL Milwaukee in 2024-25. He's also appeared in two games with Nashville, recording no points, no shots, four hits and one block. If Luke Evangelista (lower body) and Zachary L'Heureux (upper body) are unavailable for Saturday's clash against Buffalo, then Wiesblatt will probably draw into the lineup.

18m agoWoll will guard the road goal versus Vancouver on Saturday, per Mark Masters of TSN.
Woll has won his last two outings, stopping 68 of 74 shots. He has a 19-10-0 record with one shutout, a 2.67 GAA and a .909 save percentage across 29 appearances this season. Vancouver ranks 22nd in the league with 2.81 goals per game in 2024-25.

Hurricanes' Scott Morrow: Heads to minors
20m agoMorrow was sent to AHL Chicago on Saturday, according to Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal.
Morrow logged one shot and one block in 12:11 of ice time in Carolina's 7-3 victory over Utah on Saturday. He's presumably been reassigned because Carolina won't play again until Feb. 22 due to the 4 Nations Face-Off.
