Joe Mixon HOU RBJoe Mixon: Released by Houston
6m agoThe Texans released Mixon (foot) on Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
This move was always coming after Houston traded for David Montgomery earlier in the week. Mixon missed the entirety of the 2025 season recovering from some sort of foot injury that neither the team nor player has discussed much through the media. It's unclear what kind of timeline Mixon is looking at in his recovery and return to the field. The move saves the Texans $8 million in cap space. Mixon will turn 30 years old in July and has lacked big-play ability in recent years. The two-time Pro Bowl selection has 7,428 career rushing yards and 60 touchdowns. His days of being an every-down back are likely over.

Treylon Burks WAS WRCommanders' Treylon Burks: Back to Washington on one-year deal
22m agoThe Commanders re-signed Burks to a one-year contract worth up to $4 million Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
After some injury-plagued seasons in Tennessee, Burks signed with Washington back in October and appeared in eight regular-season games for the Commanders last season. He reeled in 10 of 22 targets for 130 yards and one touchdown on 60 percent of the offensive snaps across the second half of the season. The Commanders' wide receiver depth chart is wide open behind Terry McLaurin, as Deebo Samuel is ticketed for free agency next week.

Rashan Gary GB LBPackers' Rashan Gary: Remains with Green Bay
1h agoGary remains with the Packers on Friday, but all options remain on the table regarding his future in Green Bay, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Gary posted-then-deleted a farewell message earlier Friday, but it appears it was premature. It sounds like the Packers could be trying to trade the edge rusher before outright releasing him. However it shakes out, the toothpaste is already out of the tube, and it sounds like Gary's time in Green Bay could be coming to a close in the near future. Gary has two years remaining on a four-year, $96 million extension and carries a massive $28 million cap number for the 2026 season. Gary has posted back-to-back 7.5-sack seasons since signing the extension.

Taylor Decker DET OTTaylor Decker: Let go by Detroit
2h agoDecker was released by the Lions on Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Decker, a 2016 first-round pick from Ohio State, spent the first 10 years of his NFL career with the Lions. However, it now appears the team has decided to move in another direction. The veteran offensive lineman was due $18.2 million in 2026, and after conversations about a contract restructure broke down, he requested his release. Decker has started all 140 regular-season games he's appeared in, including 14 in each of the last two seasons. Even at 32 years of age, he's expected to be a coveted option for teams in need of offensive tackle help ahead of next season.

Rashan Gary GB LB
Rashan Gary: Time in Green Bay could be up
2h agoGary doesn't expect to remain with the Packers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
The 2019 first-round pick from Michigan has spent all seven years of his NFL career with the Packers, but it appears as though the edge rusher's time with the team could be coming to a close, with all options on the table, per Pelissero. Since entering the league, Gary has notched 46.5 sacks, highlighted by 9.5- and 9.0-sack campaigns in 2021 and 2023, respectively. However, he struggled down the stretch for the Packers last season, failing to record a single sack over the team's final 11 games (including playoffs).

Jalen Pitre HOU SAFTexans' Jalen Pitre: Contract restructured
2h agoPitre had $9 million of his salary converted into a signing bonus by the Texans on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
The restructuring of Pitre's contract adds two void years and creates additional cap space for the Texans ahead of the 2026 season. Pitre is one of Houston's most impactful defenders, recording 74 total tackles and 12 passes defensed, including four interceptions, across just 14 regular-season games while operating as the team's top nickel last year. The Baylor product is expected to remain a key piece on the Texans' defense, starting alongside Derek Stingley and Kamari Lassiter.

Robert Stock NYM SPMets' Robert Stock: Dealing with shoulder discomfort
8m agoStock experienced shoulder discomfort while playing with Team Israel in the World Baseball Classic and will undergo testing, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.
Stock, entering his age-36 season, is on a minor-league contract with the Mets, and just weeks away from Opening Day, the veteran reliever began experiencing shoulder discomfort. The results of his testing should paint a clearer picture of how long he'll be sidelined, if at all, but it's not a good sign for his availability in the WBC.

Corbin Carroll ARI LFDiamondbacks' Corbin Carroll: Taking live at-bats
1h agoCarroll (hand) took live at-bats Friday, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.
Carroll continues to make significant progress in his hitting program, taking live at-bats for the first time since undergoing surgery Feb. 12 to address a fractured hamate bone in his right hand. While he's still unlikely to see any spring training action, Carroll looks to have a strong chance to be ready for the Diamondbacks' regular-season opener.

Merrill Kelly ARI SPDiamondbacks' Merrill Kelly: Set to throw live BP
1h agoKelly (back) is slated to throw live batting practice Sunday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Kelly threw a bullpen session Thursday and came away from the session feeling good. He'll take the next step in his recovery Sunday by facing batters. The 37-year-old threw roughly 30 pitches in the bullpen session and utilized his entire arsenal.
-
Trey Mancini LAA 1BAngels' Trey Mancini: Scratched from lineup with illness
2h agoMancini was scratched from Friday's Cactus League lineup versus the Guardians due to illness, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Mancini -- who is in Angels camp as a non-roster invitee -- should be ready to return to action in a day or two. Donovan Walton will sub in at designated hitter for Mancini on Friday.
-
Carlos Correa HOU SSAstros' Carlos Correa: Will shift to SS if Pena not ready
2h agoAstros manager Joe Espada said Friday on Foul Territory that Correa (neck) would move to shortstop if Jeremy Pena (finger) isn't available Opening Day.
Pena's status for the opener hasn't been determined yet, as he will have his fractured right ring finger reevaluated in two weeks. If Pena requires a trip to the injured list, Correa will slide over to his familiar shortstop position and Isaac Paredes will be installed at third base. Correa is dealing with a minor injury of his own, having been scratched from Friday's Grapefruit League lineup with a stiff neck, but he's day-to-day.
-
Isaac Paredes HOU 3BAstros' Isaac Paredes: Would start at 3B if Pena is out
2h agoAstros manager Joe Espada said Friday on Foul Territory that, if Jeremy Pena (finger) isn't ready for Opening Day, Carlos Correa (neck) would shift to shortstop and Paredes would start at third base.
Pena has been diagnosed with a fracture in the tip of his right ring finger and will be reevaluated in two weeks before it's known whether he has a chance to be ready for the opener. Paredes doesn't have a clear path to a starting job when the Astros' crowded infield is healthy, but Pena's injury could open the door to everyday playing time for Paredes, at least on a temporary basis.
-
Jonathan Isaac ORL PFMagic's Jonathan Isaac: Questionable for Saturday
16m agoIsaac (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.
Isaac remains day-to-day after missing Thursday's game against the Mavericks. Look for Tristan da Silva to see an uptick in minutes if Isaac isn't able to give it a go.
-
Royce O'Neale PHO PFSuns' Royce O'Neale: Iffy for Friday
31m agoO'Neale (foot) is questionable for Friday's game against the Pelicans.
O'Neale has some soreness in his right foot and could miss the second leg of this back-to-back set. He's been very quiet in recent outings and doesn't hold much fantasy appeal. Ryan Dunn could take on a larger role if O'Neale is unable to play.

Royce O'Neale PHO PF
Suns' Royce O'Neale: Poor showing in loss
33m agoO'Neale ended with three points (1-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt) and four rebounds across 18 minutes during Thursday's 105-103 loss to the Bulls.
This was a dud for O'Neale as he continues to underwhelm in fantasy hoops. Over his last six games, he's seeing 27.9 minutes per contest with 6.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.8 blocks and 1.8 three-pointers.
-
Naz Reid MIN CTimberwolves' Naz Reid: Limited output off bench
35m agoReid recorded 12 points (5-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block in 21 minutes during Thursday's 115-107 win over the Raptors.
Reid continues to be a hit-or-miss fantasy asset off Minnesota's bench. He's had a solid season overall, however, posting seventh-round value in nine-category fantasy formats with averages of 13.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.0 steals, 1.0 blocks and 2.3 three-pointers.
-
Scottie Barnes TOR PFRaptors' Scottie Barnes: Quiet outing in loss
37m agoBarnes amassed 16 points (7-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and one block across 36 minutes during Thursday's 115-107 loss to the Timberwolves.
This was a quiet showing by Barnes' standards as the Raptors dropped to 35-27 on the season. Overall, Barnes continues to churn out second-round value in nine-category formats this season with averages of 18.9 points, 8.0 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.4 steals, 1.6 blocks and 0.9 three-pointers.
-
Spencer Jones DEN SFNuggets' Spencer Jones: Questionable for Friday
39m agoJones (shoulder) is questionable to play Friday versus the Knicks.
Jones has missed the past three games for the Nuggets, but this is the first time he's received the questionable tag since going down with the shoulder injury, which indicates progress. If he's cleared to return, there will be fewer minutes available for Tim Hardaway, Bruce Brown and Julian Strawther.
-
Pyotr Kochetkov CAR GHurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Might be back by playoffs
1m agoKochetkov (hip) might be available in time for the playoffs, according to Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News.
Kochetkov hasn't played since Dec. 20 because of the injury. He was previously expected to miss the remainder of the 2025-26 campaign, so if he ends up playing at all before the end of the regular season, that would be a bit of a surprise. Kochetkov has a 6-2-0 record, 2.33 GAA and .899 save percentage in nine outings this campaign. Brandon Bussi might maintain the starting gig even if Kochetkov returns. However, Kochetkov would eat into Bussi and Frederik Andersen's playing time.
-
Dennis Cholowski NJ DDevils' Dennis Cholowski: Summoned from AHL
3m agoCholowski was recalled from AHL Utica on Friday.
Cholowski has five assists in 13 AHL outings this season. He also has one helper, 10 shots on goal and 15 blocked shots in 15 NHL appearances during the 2025-26 campaign.
-
Jiri Kulich BUF CSabres' Jiri Kulich: Season likely over
4m agoKulich (ear) has been improving but will likely miss the rest of the regular season, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports Friday.
Kulich has been out of action since Nov. 1 against the Capitals due to his ear injury. As a rookie, the 21-year-old center notched 15 goals and nine assists, numbers he'll try to get back to for the 2026-27 campaign.
-
Jean-Gabriel Pageau NYI CIslanders' Jean-Gabriel Pageau: Inks three-year extension
7m agoPageau signed a three-year, $14.55 million contract extension with the Islanders on Friday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.
Pageau would've been eligible for unrestricted free agency in the summer, but he has decided to stay with the Islanders. He has compiled 14 goals, 29 points, 60 shots on net, 45 blocked shots and 81 hits across 55 appearances this season.
-
Brett Pesce NJ DDevils' Brett Pesce: Is week-to-week
7m agoPesce (lower body) is considered week-to-week, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports Friday.
Pesce has a goal, seven points, six PIM, 11 hits and 80 blocks in 37 appearances with the Devils in 2025-26. He missed Wednesday's game against Toronto due to the injury. Johnny Kovacevic might play regularly while Pesce is unavailable.
-
Scott Laughton TOR CKings' Scott Laughton: Headed out west
8m agoLaughton (not injury related) was traded to Los Angeles on Friday from Toronto in exchange for a conditional third-round pick, Emily Kaplan of ESPN reports.
Laughton was limited to just 63 regular-season games for the Leafs over the last two years, logging 10 goals and six helpers along the way. The veteran forward should offer the Kings some depth down the middle but will likely remain in a bottom-six role. As such, he's unlikely to produce more than mid-range fantasy value down the stretch.
