Lincoln Pare TXSTSM RBColts' Lincoln Pare: Secures contract with Indianapolis
3h agoThe Colts signed Pare as an undrafted free agent Thursday.
Pare will get a chance to prove himself at the Colts' minicamp beginning Friday. The running back completed his collegiate career at Texas State in 2025, registering 1,128 yards and 12 touchdowns on 210 carries while also catching 37 of 41 targets for 312 yards and two scores over 13 contests. The No. 2 running back role behind starter Jonathan Taylor could be up for grabs, and Pare will look to throw his hat in the ring.

EJ Horton Jr. PURDUE WR
Colts' EJ Horton: Hanging around Indy
3h agoThe Colts signed Horton as an undrafted free agent Thursday.
Horton finished his collegiate career at Purdue in 2025, catching 27 of 49 targets for 289 yards over 11 contests. The wide receiver will look to make a strong impression on the Colts during the team's rookie minicamp beginning Friday.

Jack Velling 2005 TE
Falcons' Jack Velling: Secures contract with Atlanta
5h agoThe Falcons signed Velling as an undrafted free agent Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.
Velling wrapped his collegiate career with Michigan State in 2025, reeling in 36 of 45 targets for 359 yards and three touchdowns. The tight end possesses a 6-foot-5, 245-pound frame, and he'll look to compete with Charlie Woerner, Joshua Simon and Brandon Frazier for a reserve role on Atlanta's 53-man roster in 2026.

Vinny Anthony II 2005 WRFalcons' Vinny Anthony: Signs deal with Atlanta
5h agoThe Falcons signed Anthony as an undrafted free agent Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.
Anthony caught 31 of 54 targets for 391 yards and a touchdown while also adding 27 yards and two scores on five carries over 12 contests at Wisconsin in 2025. More notably, the wide receiver compiled 446 yards and a touchdown on 16 kickoff returns, and his best path towards making the Falcons' 53-man roster is likely as a special-teams asset.
-
Jauan Jennings SF WRVikings' Jauan Jennings: Inks deal with Minnesota
6h agoJennings and the Vikings agreed on a one-year, $13 million contract Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Jennings will head to Minnesota after spending the first six years of his NFL career with the 49ers, five of which were as a member of the team's active roster. The wide receiver most recently caught 55 of 90 targets for 643 yards and a career-high nine touchdowns over 15 regular-season games in 2025. He now will join a Vikings roster that has a pair of former first-round picks in Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison as anchors in the WR room, but Jennings will provide the team with a formidable trio at the position.
-
Chris Hilton Jr. 2005 WRCommanders' Chris Hilton: Secures UDFA deal
6h agoHilton signed with the Commanders as an undrafted free agent Thursday.
Hilton was a four-star recruit in LSU's 2021 class alongside Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas, but his career never took off, partly due to injuries. The 23-year-old wide receiver never posted more than 243 receiving yards in a season through five years at LSU. Still, Hilton ran a 4.41 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, so he could at least make some noise on special teams en route to a potential roster spot.

Max Meyer MIA SPMarlins' Max Meyer: Finishes five frames in no-decision
8m agoMeyer allowed two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out five batters over five innings in a no-decision against Baltimore on Thursday.
Meyer wasn't as good as in his seven-scoreless-inning, one-hit, seven-strikeout performance against Philadelphia in his previous start, but he still kept Miami firmly in the game with just two runs on his ledger. The righty hurler also once again avoided the long ball -- he hasn't surrendered a homer in any of his past five outings. That's been a massive improvement for Meyer this season, as his HR/9 currently stands at 0.4 after it was 2.0 across his first three big-league seasons. He may be in the midst of a breakout campaign, as he's posting strong numbers with a 2.79 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 45:15 K:BB through 42 innings spanning eight starts.

Zack Gelof ATH 2BAthletics' Zack Gelof: Starts again, goes deep
18m agoGelof went 2-for-5 with a home run, a triple, three total RBI and two total runs against the Phillies in a 12-1 win Thursday.
Gelof didn't reach in either of his first two plate appearances, but he smacked a run-scoring triple in the fifth inning and followed that with a two-run homer in the seventh. The 26-year-old started for the seventh time in the A's past eight games, and he's delivered a .321 batting average with two home runs, six RBI, six runs and a stolen base during that span. Gelof has gotten starts at second base and third base as well as in center field, and he may be playing his way into a permanent roster spot even after Max Muncy (hand) and Denzel Clarke (foot) return from the injured list.
-
Brent Rooker ATH DHAthletics' Brent Rooker: Has big part in offensive explosion
26m agoRooker went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, an additional RBI and a walk in a 12-1 romp over Philadelphia on Thursday.
Rooker wasted no time making his presence felt, smashing a two-run blast to left field in the first inning. That was just his fourth homer of the season, though that's due in part to a stint on the injured list in mid-April. Rooker is still slashing a meager .177/.256/.342 on the campaign, but he's been showing signs of breaking out, batting .320 (8-for-25) with a pair of homers and seven RBI through his first six games of May.
-
Shea Langeliers ATH CAthletics' Shea Langeliers: Celebrates return with long ball
31m agoLangeliers went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in a 12-1 out of the Phillies on Thursday.
Langeliers missed three games to be with his wife for the birth of the couple's child, but he didn't accumulate any rust during his absence. The talented backstop proved that quickly when he took Philadelphia pitcher Andrew Painter deep for a two-run homer in the first frame. Langeliers later added a single and has now posted six multi-hit performance over his past eight contests. He's been smoking hot over that stretch, batting .459 (17-for-37) with three homers, five doubles, six RBI and eight runs scored.
-
Kyle Schwarber PHI LFPhillies' Kyle Schwarber: Belts 12th long ball
36m agoSchwarber went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Athletics on Thursday.
Schwarber provided Philadelphia's only run -- and lone extra-base hit -- with a solo blast to right field in the fourth inning. The long ball was the veteran slugger's first in May and at least temporarily halted a cold stretch to begin the month during which he went 3-for-24 with 12 punchouts. Schwarber's 30.7 percent strikeout rate on the campaign is on pace for his worst mark since 2017, and he's batting only .216, but he's continued to be a big power threat with 12 home runs -- tied for fourth-most in the majors.
-
Dennis Santana PIT RPPirates' Dennis Santana: Works seventh inning
42m agoSantana threw a scoreless seventh inning while walking one to earn a hold Thursday against the Diamondbacks.
Santana blew a save and allowed four earned runs on April 27 and has not gotten a save chance in three appearances since. Meanwhile, Gregory Soto has earned two saves in that span, both of which have come in Pittsburgh's last two games. While the closer situation has been fluid between Soto and Santana early on this season, Santana has allowed at least one run in four of his last 10 appearances and has only a 5.4 K/9 across 16.2 innings on the campaign.
-
Daniss Jenkins DET PGPistons' Daniss Jenkins: Closes game again Thursday
28m agoJenkins accumulated 14 points (6-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt), six rebounds and four assists in 26 minutes during Thursday's 107-97 win over the Cavaliers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Despite continuing to come off the bench, Jenkins has now logged at least 26 minutes in three straight games, running with the closers in both games against the Cavaliers. Although Cleveland typically rolls with a double-big lineup, Jenkins has increased both his playing time and production, with Detroit seemingly taking the initiative when it comes to dictating the flow of the game.
-
Tobias Harris DET PFPistons' Tobias Harris: Strong postseason continues
31m agoHarris totaled 21 points (9-16 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, two blocks and two steals in 37 minutes during Thursday's 107-97 win over the Cavaliers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Harris has been on a tear throughout the playoffs, scoring at least 20 points in seven straight games. During that span, he has averaged 22.7 points, 7.9 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 1.9 three-pointers, a huge improvement on what he was able to do during the regular season. Now leading the series 2-0, Detroit will head into Cleveland full of confidence, with Harris looking to continue his postseason resurgence.
-
Jarrett Allen CLE CCavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Drops 22 points in Game 2 loss
35m agoAllen notched 22 points (7-9 FG, 8-10 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 31 minutes during Thursday's 107-97 loss to the Pistons in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Allen turned things around after a disappointing effort in Game 1, scoring 22 points for the second time in the past three games. Although he continues to battle foul trouble, Allen was at least able to push back over 30 minutes, albeit in a losing effort. With the series now headed to Cleveland, Allen will be hoping to repeat his efforts, as the Cavaliers look to build some much-needed momentum.
-
James Harden CLE PGCavaliers' James Harden: Lackluster performance Thursday
38m agoHarden recorded 10 points (3-13 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Thursday's 107-97 loss to the Pistons in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Harden failed to have any sort of tangible impact, scoring just 10 points in the Game 2 loss. In what was easily his worst performance of the postseason, Harden simply couldn't find any rhythm, going just 3-for-13 from the field. Now trailing 2-0 in the series, the Cavaliers will head home to Cleveland, looking to wrestle back some momentum. Look for Harden to deliver an improved effort, in line with what he has done for the majority of the playoffs.
-
Chet Holmgren OKC PFThunder's Chet Holmgren: Flirts with double-double in Game 2
2h agoHolmgren totaled 22 points (7-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-7 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, four steals and two blocks in 33 minutes during Thursday's 125-107 victory in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Lakers.
Holmgren put together a strong final line and ended the night tied for the team lead in scoring with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Holmgren continued his efficient ways on offense and has knocked down 57.1 percent of his field goals through the first two games of the series to go along with five made treys. The Gonzaga product has also made his presence felt on the opposite end of the court by compiling five total steals and five total blocks so far in the semifinals.
-
Austin Reaves LAL SGLakers' Austin Reaves: Pops for 31 points in Game 2
2h agoReaves finished with 31 points (10-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 8-10 FT), two rebounds and six assists across 38 minutes during Thursday's 125-107 loss in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Thunder.
Reaves looked more polished in Game 2 after struggling to a 3-for-16 performance from the field in the opening matchup of the series. The 27-year-old led the Lakers in scoring, though he also committed a team-high five turnovers. It will likely be up to Reaves and LeBron James to turn this series around, with Luka Doncic (hamstring) unlikely to return for the semifinals.
-
Emil Andrae PHI DFlyers' Emil Andrae: Posts helper in loss
3h agoAndrae logged an assist and two blocked shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Hurricanes in Game 3.
Andrae has been a part-time player this postseason, in part due to an upper-body injury that hampered him in the first round. He was in the lineup for consecutive contests for the first time in the playoffs and delivered a helper on a Trevor Zegras tally in the second period. Andrae had trouble keeping his spot in the lineup in the regular season as well, collecting 13 points, 68 hits, 58 blocked shots, 22 PIM and a plus-15 rating across 61 appearances.
-
Trevor Zegras PHI CFlyers' Trevor Zegras: Nets lone goal in loss
3h agoZegras scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Hurricanes in Game 3.
Zegras' tally tied the game at 1-1 early in the second period, but that was all Frederik Andersen would give up. The 25-year-old Zegras snapped a four-game point drought with the goal. He's earned two goals, three assists, 12 shots on net, 22 hits, 26 PIM and an even plus-minus rating over nine outings in a top-six role this postseason.
-
Dan Vladar PHI GFlyers' Dan Vladar: Series slipping away quickly
3h agoVladar stopped 26 of 30 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Hurricanes in Game 3.
Vladar has lost all three games in the second round, giving up 10 goals on 95 shots in those defeats. The netminder is still 4-5 for the postseason, but this was the first time he's allowed more than three goals in a playoff game this year, so he's not trending in the right direction. It's looking likely that the Flyers are simply not on the same level as the Hurricanes. Vladar is likely to get the chance to save the season in Saturday's Game 4.
-
Jordan Martinook CAR LWHurricanes' Jordan Martinook: Supplies two assists Thursday
3h agoMartinook earned two assists, including one while shorthanded, and added two hits and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Flyers in Game 3.
Martinook picked up his first multi-point effort of the playoffs by assisting goals for Jordan Staal and Nikolaj Ehlers. Through seven postseason contests, Martinook has earned a goal, two assists, 15 shots on net, 18 hits, seven blocked shots, four PIM and a plus-1 rating. He plays a key defensive role on the third line, so don't expect the veteran winger to make a huge impact on offense.
-
Shayne Gostisbehere CAR DHurricanes' Shayne Gostisbehere: Pockets pair of helpers
3h agoGostisbehere notched two power-play assists, two shots on goal, four PIM and three hits in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Flyers in Game 3.
Gostisbehere hadn't gotten on the scoresheet in the first six games of the playoffs. He changed that by helping out on goals by Jordan Staal and Andrei Svechnikov in this contest. Through seven playoff contests, Gostisbehere has added nine shots on net, eight hits, three blocked shots, 14 PIM and a plus-4 rating. He'll continue to play on the third pairing at even strength as well as the first power-play unit.
-
Jalen Chatfield CAR DHurricanes' Jalen Chatfield: Nets shorthanded goal
4h agoChatfield scored a shorthanded goal on five shots and blocked two shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Flyers in Game 3.
Chatfield's second-period tally stood as the game-winner. The 29-year-old defenseman has done his usual shutdown work this postseason, but he hasn't added a lot of offense. He's at two points, 14 shots on net, four hits, seven blocked shots, six PIM and a plus-1 rating across seven playoff outings. Chatfield will continue to see top-four minutes, but he's not expected to be in the power-play mix.
