Amen Ogbongbemiga CHI LBAmen Ogbongbemiga: Cut by Chicago
18h agoThe Bears released Ogbongbemiga on Thursday.
Ogbongbemiga will hit free agency after having suited up for eight regular-season contests with Chicago in 2025, in which span he totaled 18 tackles (five solo) and one pass defensed. He also played 134 snaps on special teams. Ogbongbemiga figures to compete for a similar reserve role elsewhere in the league this offseason.

Michael Bandy DEN WRBroncos' Michael Bandy: Re-signs with Broncos
18h agoDenver re-signed Bandy on Thursday.
Bandy spent the majority of the 2025 season on the Broncos' practice squad but made four regular-season appearances with the team, in which he secured all four of his targets for 50 yards and one touchdown. He was also elevated for the team's loss to the Patriots in the AFC Championship Game, but he was ultimately deemed a healthy scratch. Bandy will spend the offseason competing to reprise a similar depth role with Denver.

Alfred Collins SF DT49ers' Alfred Collins: Finishes rookie year as starter
21h agoCollins recorded 17 tackles (four solo), two forced fumbles and one sack across 16 regular season games in 2025.
Collins was asked to start early in his rookie campaign for a San Francisco squad lacking interior defensive line depth. The second-round pick didn't stand out from a statistical standpoint, but he did record the first sack of his career. Collins should be a frontrunner to start at one of tackle positions in 2026.

CJ West SF DT49ers' CJ West: Earns first career sack
22h agoWest appeared in 14 games for the 49ers in 2025, finishing the regular season with 21 tackles (12 solo) and one sack.
The fourth-round draft pick was eased into the defensive line rotation before watching his snap count rise in the second half of the schedule. West nabbed his first career sack in Week 16 of the regular season and then went on to record another in the 49ers' divisional round loss to the Seahawks. The 23-year-old will enter his second pro season with an opportunity to compete for a starting defensive tackle position.

Lane Johnson PHI OTEagles' Lane Johnson: Returning for 14th season
1d agoJohnson (foot) said Thursday that he'll play for the Eagles in 2026, opting against retirement, per Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer.
Johnson will turn 36 in May after missing the final eight games of the 2025 campaign due to a Lisfranc injury. It's unclear if he had surgery, with Thursday's report merely noting that he's continuing his rehab and working to get back to full strength. The future Hall of Famer is under contract through 2027 with the only NFL team he's ever known, ranking among the elite at his position for more than a decade. Even if he declines some after the foot injury, Johnson's decision to keep playing is probably good news for the fantasy value of QB Jalen Hurts and RB Saquon Barkley.

Rashid Shaheed SEA WRSeahawks' Rashid Shaheed: Interested in re-signing
1d agoShaheed said Wednesday that he's "absolutely" interested in re-signing with Seattle, NFL.com's Eric Edholm reports.
Shaheed's snap share and target share dropped after a mid-season trade from New Orleans to Seattle, but he made splash plays for his new team -- both on offense and special teams -- en route to the Super Bowl. He'll now become a free agent in March if he doesn't first re-sign in Seattle, where fellow wideouts Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp and Tory Horton (shin) remain under contract.

Chandler Simpson TB CFRays' Chandler Simpson: Nursing hamstring injury
17m agoSimpson will not play in the Rays' first several Grapefruit League games due to a tight left hamstring, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Much of Simpson's value comes from his speed, so the Rays will proceed cautiously with him so he doesn't suffer a setback. If healthy, Simpson is in line to be the team's primary left fielder this season. He slashed .295/.326/.345 with 44 stolen bases over 109 contests in his rookie season.

Riley O'Brien STL RPCardinals' Riley O'Brien: Out for WBC with mild calf strain
20m agoCardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Friday that O'Brien will be shut down for a few days due to a mild right calf strain, Brian Murphy of MLB.com reports.
It will take a couple weeks for O'Brien to ramp things back up, so it will be at least the beginning of March before he's ready to pitch in spring training games. O'Brien is also now unlikely to pitch for Team South Korea in the World Baseball Classic, though he will remain in the player pool in case there's a chance he can be added later. The injury could also affect O'Brien's chances at opening the season as the Cardinals' closer. He is in the mix for saves with JoJo Romero and perhaps Matt Svanson.

Jose Berrios TOR SPBlue Jays' Jose Berrios: Looking good early in camp
25m agoBerrios has appeared to be fully healthy to begin spring training, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports. "Jose is fully healthy. He's looked sharp," manager John Schneider said Thursday on TSN 1050's OverDrive. "His stuff is back to where it was probably two years ago in terms of velocity and his breaking ball."
The veteran right-hander is coming off a rough 2025 campaign in which he threw just 166.0 innings, his lowest total in a full MLB season since 2017. Berrios didn't pitch in the final week of the regular season or in the playoffs due to elbow trouble, but the Blue Jays will need him to be healthy to start 2026 with Shane Bieber (forearm) set to begin the year on the shelf. Berrios posted a 3.63 ERA and 1.17 WHIP over 382 innings in 2023-24, so Schneider suggesting he could regain that form would provide a big boost to Toronto's rotation.

Blaze Alexander BAL SSOrioles' Blaze Alexander: Poised to start at second base
42m agoAlexander is likely to be the Orioles' Opening Day second baseman in place of the injured Jackson Holliday (hand), Brendan Mortensen of MASNSports.com reports.
Holliday will begin the season on the injured list following hamate surgery, though his absence could be relatively brief. Jordan Westburg (elbow) had been under considering for a move from third base to second base, but he's now shelved himself for at least the first month of the season. Acquired from the Diamondbacks via trade earlier this month, Alexander slashed .230/.323/.383 with seven homers and four steals over 74 games in 2025.
-
Coby Mayo BAL 3BOrioles' Coby Mayo: Could take over at third base
45m agoMayo could be the Orioles' Opening Day third baseman following the injury to Jordan Westburg (elbow), Brendan Mortensen of MASNSports.com reports.
Westburg is set to miss at least the first month of the season due to a partially torn UCL in his right elbow. Mayo was primarily a third baseman in the minors before the Orioles had him focus mostly on first base last season. However, there is a clear need at the hot corner now, so the 24-year-old is potentially in line to return to his old position. Mayo has mostly struggled so far at the big-league level, but the former top prospect showed signs of life last September, slashing .301/.393/.548 with five homers.

Keagan Gillies BAL SPOrioles' Keagan Gillies: Nursing serious quad injury
1h agoOrioles president of baseball operations Mike Elias said Friday that Gillies will be sidelined for at least six weeks with a quad injury, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Gillies had been in camp as a non-roster invitee and will now get a late start to the minor-league season. The 6-foot-8 right-hander posted a 2.68 ERA and 51:13 K:BB over 53.2 frames between Double-A Chesapeake and Triple-A Norfolk in 2025.

Tre Jones CHI PGBulls' Tre Jones: Fares well in loss
3m agoJones finished Thursday's 110-101 loss to the Raptors with 12 points (5-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, six assists and one block in 22 minutes.
Jones returned from an 11-game absence due to a strained left hamstring, and he was given a sizable role with the second unit. Notably, Jaden Ivey was pushed completely out of the rotation with Josh Giddey also back in the mix. With so much competition in the backcourt, Jones' value may be limited to deeper leagues.
-
Josh Giddey CHI PGBulls' Josh Giddey: Sees 21 minutes in return
5m agoGiddey registered five points (1-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals across 21 minutes during Thursday's 110-101 loss to Toronto.
Giddey returned to action after missing Chicago's previous eight matchups while nursing a hamstring injury. He saw a modest workload which is to be expected, and it's fair to expect the Bulls to proceed with caution moving forward. Plus, the Bulls begin a back-to-back set Saturday against Detroit.
-
Malik Monk SAC SGKings' Malik Monk: Plays well in return
7m agoMonk recorded 14 points (5-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-3 FT) and two assists across 20 minutes during Thursday's 131-94 loss to Orlando.
With Zach LaVine (hand) and Domantas Sabonis (knee) out for the season, Monk is a candidate to see increased usage down the stretch. An illness sidelined Monk for the Kings' final three games before the All-Star break, but he saw a modest workload Thursday with the team getting blown out by Orlando.
-
Russell Westbrook SAC PGKings' Russell Westbrook: Quiet in loss
9m agoWestbrook produced five points (2-8 FG, 1-6 3Pt), one assist and one steal across 17 minutes during Thursday's 131-94 loss to the Magic.
Westbrook missed the Kings' final game before the All-Star break due to left ankle soreness, and despite reprising his role in the starting lineup, the veteran saw a reduced workload as his team was blown away early. With the Kings not playing for much down the stretch, it will be interesting to see if Westbrook's role is impacted.
-
Isaiah Livers PHO SFSuns' Isaiah Livers: Plays 10 minutes in loss
14m agoLivers registered zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one assist over 10 minutes during Thursday's 121-94 loss to the Spurs.
Livers missed the Suns' final three games before the All-Star break with a shoulder issue, but he's back at 100 percent for the Suns. Even with Dillon Brooks suspended for this contest, Livers wasn't able to find much breathing room at forward.
-
Nicolas Batum LAC PFClippers' Nicolas Batum: Plays 18 minutes in win
17m agoBatum produced six points (2-3 FG, 2-3 3Pt) and two rebounds in 18 minutes during Thursday's 115-114 win over the Nuggets.
Batum was rested for the final game before the All-Star break, but he was back in his usual role Thursday. The veteran is unlikely to see enough minutes or usage to make an impact outside of very deep formats moving forward.
-
Matt Kiersted MIN DWild's Matt Kiersted: Returned to AHL Iowa
11m agoKiersted was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Friday.
Kiersted has one assist in four NHL games this season. The 27-year-old defenseman had one goal and five helpers in 31 AHL games this season before his recall.
-
Robert Thomas STL CBlues' Robert Thomas: Returns to practice Friday
44m agoThomas (leg) participated in Friday's practice session, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
Thomas underwent a minor leg procedure at the end of January with the expectation that he would be ready to return in the first game after the Olympic break. While it's not yet clear whether Thomas will officially get the green light for Thursday's game against Seattle, it's at least encouraging that he's back at practice.

Juuse Saros NSH GPredators' Juuse Saros: Facing Canada
1h agoSaros will patrol the Finnish crease versus Canada in semifinals action Friday at the 2026 Winter Olympics, according to Ethan Sears of the New York Post.
Saros gave up three goals on 24 shots in a loss to Slovakia, but the 30-year-old has been outstanding since then while turning aside 70 of 73 shots to enable Finland to make it to the semifinals. Canada enters the game as the favorite, but will be without the services of Sidney Crosby (lower body).
-
Jordan Binnington STL GBlues' Jordan Binnington: Drawing start against Finland
1h agoBinnington is slated to start for Team Canada against Finland in Friday's semifinals match at the 2026 Winter Olympics, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.
Binnington made some huge saves to keep Canada's medal hopes alive in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over Czechia in the quarterfinals. He has a 3-0 record at the tournament while allowing five goals on 64 shots. Finland defeated Switzerland in Wednesday's quarterfinal contest with a 3-2 comeback overtime win.
-
Josh Morrissey WPG DJets' Josh Morrissey: Not ready to return Friday
2h agoMorrissey (undisclosed) has been ruled out of Friday's semifinal game versus Finland at the 2026 Winter Olympics, Pierre LeBrun of TSN reports.
Morrissey has been skating but hasn't played since getting hurt in Canada's tournament opener against Czechia on Feb. 12. He has 10 goals and 32 assists across 56 appearances for Winnipeg this season. It remains unclear if he will play in the bronze- or gold-medal game for Canada on Saturday and Sunday, respectively.
-
Sidney Crosby PIT CPenguins' Sidney Crosby: Ruled out Friday
2h agoCrosby (lower body) will not be available for Team Canada versus Finland in semifinal action at the 2026 Winter Olympics on Friday, Mark Masters of TSN reports.
Crosby sustained a suspected knee injury against Czechia on Wednesday. He hasn't been ruled out for the remainder of the tournament, but it's unclear if he will be ready to play in Sunday's gold-medal game or Saturday's bronze-medal matchup. Connor McDavid will serve as Canada's captain in Friday's contest due to Crosby's absence, while Sam Bennett (illness) will be in the lineup.
