Dexter Lawrence NYG DTGiants' Dexter Lawrence: Contract talks stall
1h agoLawrence and the Giants have reportedly reached an impasse on talks regarding a new contract extension for the defensive tackle, per ESPN.com.
The report notes that Lawrence previously requested a trade and hasn't been present for the start of the team's initial offseason workout program. Meanwhile, as the NFL Draft approaches, the Giants are said to have engaged with other teams about a potential trade for the 2019 first rounder, who recorded 31 tackles in 17 regular-season games in 2025. That said, it's still possible the two sides could find enough common ground for Lawrence to stick around in 2026, on the heels of conversations with Lawrence's agent that GM Joe Schoen labeled "productive."

A.J. Brown PHI WREagles' A.J. Brown: GM Roseman won't reveal much
2h agoEagles GM Howie Roseman avoided questions about Brown's future while talking with reporters Tuesday, according to Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.
Roseman initially declined to comment on Brown when answering a two-part question, instead focusing on recent trade acquisition Dontayvion Wicks. When a different reporter asked about Brown again, Roseman responded, "What do you think the odds of me answering this question any different than I answered it anywhere else?" Roseman then repeated his line from earlier this offseason, saying "A.J. Brown's an Eagle." The response will do nothing to quiet trade rumors, with numerous reports suggesting the Eagles had serious talks with the Rams and Patriots in March. From a cap standpoint, it becomes much easier for the Eagles to move on from Brown after June 1, which means this could drag out for a while even if the team has already made an internal decision of sorts.

Jalen Redmond MIN DLVikings' Jalen Redmond: Inks tender with Vikings
23h agoRedmond officially signed his exclusive rights free-agent tender with Minnesota on Tuesday, Howard Balzer of USA Today reports.
Redmond will officially remain with the Vikings on a one-year deal after a breakout campaign in 2025. The defensive tackle totaled 62 tackles (33 solo), including 6.0 sacks, with five pass breakups, two fumble recoveries and one forced fumble while suiting up for all 17 regular-season games and starting 15 of them.

Kimani Vidal LAC RBChargers' Kimani Vidal: Officially back with Bolts
23h agoVidal signed his exclusive-rights free-agent tender with the Chargers on Tuesday, Howard Balzer of USA Today reports.
Los Angeles tendered the 2024 sixth-round pick as an ERFA in early March. The Chargers' offseason has seen Najee Harris (Achilles) depart in free agency, though the addition of Keaton Mitchell from Baltimore represents a new option in the backfield and potential competition for Vidal's grip on the No. 2 role behind Omarion Hampton. That said, Vidal has to be considered the favorite for the job after he broke out for 643 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 155 carries across 13 regular-season appearances in 2025, even if Mitchell ultimately sees more pass-catching reps.

Ja'Tavion Sanders CAR TEPanthers' Ja'Tavion Sanders: Rehab going well
1d agoPanthers GM Dan Morgan said Tuesday that Sanders (fibula) has resumed running and making cuts in his rehab and could be ready for the start of OTAs, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Sanders is recovering from surgery to address a broken right fibula suffered in late December. Across 13 regular-season appearances last year, the 2024 fourth-round pick secured 29 of 34 targets for 190 yards and one touchdown. Unless Carolina makes significant additions to the tight end position in the 2026 NFL Draft, Sanders and Tommy Tremble will again operate as the team's top options at the position.

Brandon Allen NYG QBGiants' Brandon Allen: Gets chance with Big Blue
2d agoAllen signed a contract with the Giants on Monday.
Allen spent last season with the Titans and saw action in only one contest, a Week 18 loss to the Jaguars in which he completed 17 of 30 passes for 72 yards, no touchdowns and one interception. Now, he'll reunite with New York's quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator Brian Callahan while providing the team depth behind Jaxson Dart and Jameis Winston.

Will Benson CIN RFReds' Will Benson: Not starting against righty
6m agoBenson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants.
Benson will be on the bench for the fourth game in a row, with the Reds having faced three right-handers and one lefty during that stretch. The left-handed-hitting Benson looked as though he might be a candidate to move into a strong-side platoon role after the Reds optioned Noelvi Marte to Triple-A Louisville on Monday, but the newly recalled Rece Hinds may instead get a look as a full-time player in right field.
-
Patrick Bailey SF CGiants' Patrick Bailey: Idle Wednesday
10m agoBailey is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
After starting behind the dish in 13 of the Giants' first 15 games, Bailey will now take a seat for the second time in three contests. Rookie Daniel Susac will draw the start at catcher Wednesday, but Bailey will presumably check back into the lineup for Thursday's series finale.
-
Heliot Ramos SF LFGiants' Heliot Ramos: Hitting bench Wednesday
13m agoRamos is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Ramos will receive an evening off while the Giants make room in their starting outfield for their two new Triple-A call-ups, Will Brennan and Drew Gilbert. The 26-year-old saw his six-game hitting streak come to an end with an 0-for-4 showing in Tuesday's 2-1 loss.
-
Brandon Eisert CHW RPWhite Sox's Brandon Eisert: Sent back to minors
16m agoThe White Sox optioned Eisert to Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday.
Eisert spent less than a week with the big club and gave up four runs on six hits with a 2:1 K:BB in 2.1 innings. His roster spot will be taken by fellow lefty Tyler Gilbert, who will offer more length in the bullpen.
-
Tyler Gilbert CHW RPWhite Sox's Tyler Gilbert: Making return to Chicago
19m agoThe White Sox recalled Gilbert from Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday.
Chicago will swap a pair of left-handed relievers on the active roster, as Gilbert comes up from Charlotte to replace Brandon Eisert, who was demoted to Triple-A. In addition to giving the White Sox another southpaw in the bullpen, Gilbert is capable of covering multiple innings when needed to mop up.
-
Dustin Harris CHW 1BWhite Sox's Dustin Harris: Booted from 40-man roster
22m agoThe White Sox designated Harris for assignment Wednesday.
Harris will cede his spot on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster to one of the organization's top prospects in Sam Antonacci, who received a call-up from Triple-A Charlotte. After receiving a promotion of his own from Charlotte on April 7, Harris proceeded to go 3-for-12 with a double, two stolen bases and a 4:1 BB:K in six games for the White Sox. He'll now go through the waiver process and will have the ability to elect free agency if he goes unclaimed.
-
Tyler Kolek NY PGKnicks' Tyler Kolek: Participates in practice
1h agoKolek (oblique) participated in Wednesday's practice, per Jared Schwartz of the New York Post.
The second-year guard missed New York's final four games of the regular season due to a right oblique strain, but he's trending in the right direction ahead of the playoffs. Even if Kolek is available for Game 1 on Saturday versus the Hawks, Miles McBride and Jordan Clarkson appear to be the favorites for the reserve minutes in the backcourt.
-
OG Anunoby NY SFKnicks' OG Anunoby: Practices Wednesday
1h agoAnunoby (ankle) went through practice Wednesday, per Jared Schwartz of the New York Post.
Anunoby twisted his ankle during Friday's win over the Raptors and proceeded to sit out Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Hornets. New York's next contest isn't until Saturday's Game 1 matchup versus Atlanta, so Anunoby has plenty of time to recover.
-
Dylan Harper SA PGSpurs' Dylan Harper: Expected to be available for Game 1
1h agoHarper (thumb) is expected to play in Game 1 on Sunday against Portland, per Michael C. Wright of ESPN.com.
Harper injured his left thumb in Sunday's regular-season finale against Denver, but it sounds like he'll have enough time to heal ahead of the start of the playoffs. The rookie first-rounder is heading into the postseason on a hot streak, having averaged 14.8 points, 4.0 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.4 three-pointers in 24.4 minutes per tilt over his final 12 games while shooting 50.0 percent from deep during this span.

Immanuel Quickley TOR PGRaptors' Immanuel Quickley: Remains day-to-day
2h agoQuickley (hamstring) was limited to an individual workout Tuesday, Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun reports.
Quickley is battling a mild hamstring strain and continues to be considered day-to-day. For now, a questionable tag is being anticipated ahead of Toronto's playoff game against Cleveland on April 18.

Tyler Herro MIA PGHeat's Tyler Herro: Notches 23 points in defeat
4h agoHerro recorded 23 points (7-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds and six assists across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 127-126 overtime Play-In Game loss to the Hornets.
Injuries limited Herro to 33 regular-season games in 2025-26, though he was productive during his time on the floor. Playing in his seventh NBA season, he posted averages of 20.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 2.5 three-pointers in 31.3 minutes per contest.
-
Simone Fontecchio MIA SFHeat's Simone Fontecchio: Limited to six minutes
4h agoFontecchio racked up zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one block in six minutes during Tuesday's 127-126 overtime Play-In Game loss to the Hornets.
Fontecchio was used sparingly as the Heat were knocked out of the postseason. Across 70 regular-season games, Fontecchio played a relatively minor role with 8.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.8 three-pointers in 16.7 minutes per contest.
-
Mitchell Chaffee TB RWLightning's Mitchell Chaffee: Set to be called up
30m agoChaffee is slated to be called up by the Lightning on Wednesday, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.
Chaffee has made 10 appearances for the Lightning this year, and he's been held without a point with 24 hits, four blocked shots and four PIM while averaging 9:11 of ice time. He'll rejoin the NHL club ahead of Wednesday's regular-season finale against the Rangers but will presumably head back to the minors afterward.
-
Jakob Pelletier TB LWLightning's Jakob Pelletier: Brought up from minors
32m agoPelletier was elevated from AHL Syracuse on Wednesday, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.
Pelletier has appeared in four NHL games this year in which he recorded three shots, five hits and three blocks while averaging 8:53 of ice time. While Pelletier may be pressed into service versus the Rangers on Wednesday, he is unlikely to see much in the way of minutes during the postseason.
-
Steven Santini TB DLightning's Steve Santini: On waivers Wednesday
1h agoSantini was placed on waivers by Tampa Bay on Wednesday, per Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times.
Tampa Bay is expected to activate Max Crozier off long-term injured reserve in a corresponding move. Santini hasn't been in the lineup since March 28. He has an assist in 11 outings with the Lightning in 2025-26.
-
Victor Eklund NYI RWIslanders' Victor Eklund: Sent down to minors
1h agoEklund was reassigned to AHL Bridgeport on Wednesday.
Eklund made his NHL debut versus the Hurricanes on Tuesday, producing his first NHL point. Looking ahead to the 2026-27 campaign, Eklund should have the inside track to securing a spot on the Opening Night roster, though he could also be moved to the minors to ensure he gets minutes in a more prominent role.
-
Liam Foudy NYI CIslanders' Liam Foudy: Sent to AHL
1h agoFoudy was reassigned to AHL Bridgeport on Wednesday, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.
Foudy recorded one shot, one hit and one block in 11:17 of ice time in the Islanders' 2-1 loss to Carolina on Tuesday. It was his lone NHL game of 2025-26, but he's also recorded 25 goals and 46 points in 58 outings with Bridgeport this season. Foudy will shift his focus to helping Bridgeport in the upcoming Calder Cup Playoffs.
-
Isaiah George NYI DIslanders' Isaiah George: Returning to minors
1h agoGeorge will be reassigned to AHL Bridgeport on Wednesday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
George only appeared in four games for the Islanders this year, recording one assist, one hit and two shots while averaging 13:22 of ice time. While the 22-year-old blueliner hasn't been able to secure his place on the NHL roster, he should be in the mix for a spot in the Opening Night lineup for the 2026-27 campaign.
