The Patriots boosted their running back and safety depth Saturday by elevating running back Terrell Jennings and safety Richie Grant from the practice squad to the active roster for Sunday’s game against the Browns. Jennings has now been elevated three straight weeks. If the Patriots plan to use him again, they’ll need to sign him to the 53-man roster since practice squad players have a max three elevations. This is Grant’s first elevation since being signed to the practice squad Oct. 15. A 2021 second-round pick, Grant was a starter for two seasons with the Falcons. He’s also spent time…

Heat guard Terry Rozier was accused in a separate scheme of exploiting private information about players to win bets on NBA games.The two…
The Boston Celtics are still searching for their first win of the 2025-26 season, as they suffered a 105-95 defeat at the hands of the New York Knicks on Friday night. While the C’s only lost one quarter in the game, the 28-point margin of defeat in the second quarter ended up being too much for the team to overcome. Injuries have already become a major storyline for Boston, and the season is just two games old. Obviously, Jayson Tatum is still recovering from a torn Achilles tendon, but Jaylen Brown is also dealing with a nagging hamstring injury he…
After the slightest bit of suspense, the Jason Varitek situation has been resolved. Varitek will return to Alex Cora’s coaching staff in 2026, in the same position of game-planning coordinator and run-prevention coach (go ahead and feel free to roll your eyes at that one). Next year will mark Tek’s 30th season with the Red Sox. It will also be his 15th year since his retirement, meaning he’ll have spent as much time with the Red Sox in a non-playing capacity as he did as a player. (Alex Speier, Boston Globe)So the coaching staff in 2026 will look almost exactly…

It’s time for some home cooking. After three straight road games, the Patriots will kick off in Gillette Stadium for the first time since their four-game win streak began with a blowout of the Panthers in late September. Since then, the Pats have established themselves as one of the better teams in the league and an AFC playoff contender. For that, they can thank Drake Maye, who leads the league in completion percentage and deep passing, and has announced himself as an early-season MVP candidate. But bigger tests loom, starting with a top-5 Browns defense this Sunday. Despite its 2-5…
NEW YORK — When the Celtics’ new roster was finalized this offseason, rebounding stood out as an obvious area of concern. With no Jayson Tatum to start the season and primary big men Kristaps Porzingis, Al Horford and Luke Kornet playing elsewhere, Boston looked like a team that would struggle on the glass. So far, Joe Mazzulla’s squad has done exactly that, posting the NBA’s second-worst defensive rebounding rate and third-worst total rebounding rate through two games. Those struggles were especially acute in Friday night’s 105-95 loss to the Knicks, which featured the Celtics’ worst performance on the defensive boards…
The Boston Red Sox have their eyes set on a free agent slugger to sign this offseason. Red Sox insider Chris Cotillo of MassLive expects Boston to pursue a middle-of-the-order bat who can be the DH. One player Cotillo believes the Red Sox will heavily pursue a reunion with is Kyle Schwarber. “What is certain, though, is that the Red Sox need to take a long, hard look at their DH spot,” Cotillo wrote in a piece published on Friday. “A team intent on capitalizing on its contention window will have to make bold, expensive moves. … “Cora has been…
Kayshon Boutte is in a better place now. Boutte, who never seems to lack confidence in front of the camera, credited himself for that. But the Patriots third-year wide receiver acknowledged it also was the result of others. Others as in teammates and coaches? Not exactly. Others as in those outside the confines of Gillette Stadium. Boutte continues to be lauded for his growth on and off the field. Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel commented on Boutte’s demeanor never getting too high or too low, regardless of whether or not the ball finds him. Boutte’s level of communication has improved,…
