Owusu-Koramoah walked into the Browns’ practice facility months after a Week 8 neck injury ended his 2024 season. He was carted off the field after suffering the injury and was not seen at team headquarters until Tuesday. Cleveland.com’s Mary Kay Cabot stated, “it’s a great sign for the Browns and their star linebacker, although his future is still murky.” Neck injuries are difficult to gauge and the 25-year-old had just signed an extension with the Browns before going down. Prior comments from Browns general manager Andrew Berry alluded to it being a long-term issue, though Berry said last week, “he is progressing, but again, right now I don’t have necessarily a definitive date for you.” Owusu-Koramoah is back with the Browns for now, though it may be a while until he actually sees the field.

Blue Jays manager John Schnieider said the move was precautionary, but also admitted that Santander has been dealing with right quad tightness for the past few days. Even if the injury isn’t major, it would seem plausible that the Blue Jays would give Santander a day or two off to manage the injury without exacerbating it.

It’s not much of a surprise, as most rookies cut their teeth with special teams duties. Twentyman mentioned return duties as a possibility, though the former Razorback never returned kicks or punts in college. At 6'4/212 with 4.43 wheels, TeSlaa is an explosive athlete who never translated his physical traits to on-field production at Arkansas. The Lions clearly saw potential for him to do so in the pros and traded two future third-round picks to move up to No. 70 overall for him. It’s going to be a slow burn for TeSlaa in the pros, making him a dynasty-only fantasy option.

After an illness limited him to 13 first-half minutes in Boston’s series-opening defeat on Monday, Porzingis came off the bench in Game 2. Unfortunately, he could only give the Celtics 14 minutes. Following the game, Porzingis said his current problem may be related to the upper respiratory ailment that sidelined him for eight games late in the regular season. “Probably, probably,” Porzingis said. “I’ve had like ups and downs throughout until this point. Just now, had a big crash. Now, my energy, my everything, hasn’t been good, but who cares? Have to move forward and it will get better from this point.” While Boston’s shot selection was the focus following its two home defeats, Porzingis’ limited availability has also been a factor. He’ll hope to return to full health in time for Game 3 on Saturday afternoon.

It sounds like a precautionary measure. There should be an update on his status prior to Thursday’s series finale out in Los Angeles.

That’s the first homer for Paris since April 9 when he went deep twice against Tampa Bay and caused everyone to lose all sense of rational thought. The 23-year-old did also single and walk to improve his on-base percentage to .311,, while the homer bumps his slugging mark to .378. There is long-term upside in Paris with flashes that suggest he can be a fantasy option. Fantasy managers should still absolutely looking elsewhere for options up the middle.
