LeBron joins a long list of players and coaches who have said they don't like the reports.

Running back Doug Martin’s four-game suspension under the NFL’s PED policy arises from a positive test for Adderall, PFT has confirmed. (The news was first reported by NFL Media, which constitutes another example of the NFL’s in-house media operation violating supposedly clear confidentiality principles under the PED and substance-abuse policies.) During the offseason, Adderall is treated…

With DeMarcus Ware done for the season and headed for surgery, the Broncos did some roster shuffling. Ware and cornerback Kayvon Webster were officially placed on the team’s injured-reserve list on Wednesday. Webster suffered a concussion last Sunday at Kansas City. The Broncos filled their roster spots by promoting nose tackle Kyle Peko and cornerback…

We’re all now past the massive, Christmas Day mega-match up between the Cavaliers and the Warriors. It was the game we were all anticipating, one that resulted in a close, 109-108 victory for Cleveland under — dare I say — dubious circumstances. That’s all that mattered, right? Or did we find out a little more […]

There has been talk about wide receiver DeSean Jackson returning to the Eagles as a free agent this offseason for a little while now and defensive end Brandon Graham stoked those flames this week by saying that Jackson told him that he’d be returning to Philadelphia this offseason. Jackson remains a member of the Redskins…

Reports state this is a two-year deal, with a $6 million average annual value.

The Pacers were a frustrated team after the Christmas Day loss to Chicago.

At one point in last Saturday night’s game against the Bengals, Texans quarterback Tom Savage was limping a bit and favoring his right knee. That didn’t stop him from finishing out the victory that made Houston this year’s AFC South champs or from getting the nod as the starter in Week 17 against the Titans…

Washington’s injury depleted secondary has forced them to make a roster move, and perhaps start an experiment sooner rather than later. Per Field Yates of ESPN, Washington is putting safety Donte Whitner on injured reserve, and re-signing safety Josh Evans to fill his roster spot. Whitner’s quadriceps injury was apparently sufficient to make them shelve…

A bizarre situation in Tampa keeps getting even more bizarre. The statement from Buccaneers running back Doug Martin creates the impression that he is starting a four-game suspension under the substance-abuse policy, and that he has developed a chemical dependency on one or more of the NFL’s recognized substances of abuse. In truth, however, his suspension didn’t…

Former coach reportedly plans to update book with Kings information once contract expires

Spurs went down early, but picked up a good away win.

The “personal issue” for which Doug Martin has left the Buccaneers quickly became public. “I was notified last week of a four-game suspension for violating the league’s drug policy,” the fifth-year running back said in a statement released by the team. “My initial instinct was to appeal the suspension and finish the season with my…

When the Dolphins shook up their offensive line mix early this season they brought in veteran tackle Sam Young and they liked what they saw enough to keep him around for another year. PFT has learned, via a league source, that the Dolphins have signed Young to an extension through the 2017 season. The extension…

Steelers tight end Ladarius Green and wide receiver Sammie Coates were limited participants in practice Wednesday, and for both that marks progress as the Steelers point towards the playoffs. Both missed last week’s game vs. the Ravens, Green due to a concussion and Coates because of a hamstring injury. The Steelers aren’t playing for much…

The Lions played without cornerback Darius Slay in their Week 16 loss to the Cowboys due to a hamstring injury, but they may have him back for Sunday night’s NFC North title game against the Packers. Slay was a limited participant in Wednesday’s practice, which is a step in the right direction after he was…

He'll face the Flyers, just his fourth start in the last 21 games.
