S. Shepard - WR

NYG

Giants WR Sterling Shepard (toe) could play Thursday night against the Eagles.

USA Today's Art Stapleton said Shepard, who was activated from injured reserve on Tuesday, should be added to the Giants' active roster in the afternoon. He would then need to complete a pregame workout and the team's medical staff would need to sign off on him suiting up against Philadelphia on Thursday night. If active, Shepard is an iffy WR3 option who would siphon targets from Darius Slayton.

Y. Ngakoue - DL

BAL

Ravens acquired DE Yannick Ngakoue from the Vikings in exchange for a 2021 third-round pick and 2022 conditional fifth-round pick.

The Vikings parted with a 2021 second-round pick and 2022 conditional fifth-round pick to acquire Ngakoue from the Jaguars in late August. He signed a one-year, $12 million deal with Minnesota, missing out on almost $6 million he would have made on his franchise tender in Jacksonville. Ngakoue, who had five sacks for the Vikings through six games, joins a Baltimore front seven that has pressured the passer on 10.5 percent of its snaps in 2020 -- the 13th highest rate in the league. Only the Steelers have recorded more sacks this season than the Ravens. Ngakoue could make the Ravens a nightmare for opposing quarterbacks.

W. Venable - RF

Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports that the Red Sox have interviewed Cubs coach Will Venable for their managerial opening.

Venable joined the Cubs' front office in 2017 after retiring as a player and then served as the team's first base coach in 2018 and 2019 before shifting to third base coaching duties in 2020. The 37-year-old graduate of Princeton University should eventually get a chance to manage somewhere, even if he doesn't ultimately land the job in Boston. Heyman notes that Alex Cora "has been viewed as the favorite" coming off his one-year suspension related to the Astros' sign-stealing operation from 2017. Dodgers coach George Lombard and Pirates coach Don Kelly are among the other known managerial candidates for the Red Sox.

Z. Ertz - TE

PHI

Eagles place TE Zach Ertz (ankle) on injured reserve.

Ertz will miss at least three games after joining TE Dallas Goedert, WR Jalen Reagor, OT Andre Dillard, OL Jason Peters, and G Isaac Seumalo on IR. Ertz's high ankle sprain could keep him out until the end of November. Goedert (ankle) could return soon and become a target funnel for Carson Wentz in an offense besieged by injuries. Fantasy players should pick up Goedert anywhere he's been dropped by frustrated managers.

E. Larmi - G

PIT

Emil Larmi has been loaned to HPK of Finland’s Liiga.

Larmi had a 3.55 GAA and .883 save percentage in nine AHL games last season. He also posted a 3.55 GAA and .908 save percentage in 11 ECHL contests. Obviously, those aren't good numbers, but at the age of 24 he can still develop further. He spent three seasons with HPK from 2016-17 through 2018-19, so he'll be comfortable there while the NHL offseason continues. He'll be able to return to the Penguins once their training camp begins. Currently, the NHL is looking towards a Jan. 1 start date for next season, but that's not set in stone.

C. Brown - F

OTT

Connor Brown and the Ottawa Senators have agreed to a three-year, $10.8 million contract.

Brown and the Senators have managed to successfully avoid an arbitration hearing that would have taken place today. Brown requested a one-year, $4.8 million salary in arbitration while the Senators were asking that he be paid $2.25 million. In the end, his cap hit will be $3.6 million. Brown scored 16 goals and 43 points in 71 contests while averaging 20:07 minutes last season. He set a career-high in points, but that's not surprising given that Ottawa gave him top line minutes while his former team, the Toronto Maple Leafs, viewed Brown as a member of the supporting cast. He averaged just 13:48 minutes with Toronto in 2018-19, but still managed to score a respectable eight goals and 29 points in that limited role.

M. Staal - D

DET

Although the Red Wings had a terrible 17-49-5 record last season, Marc Staal doesn't think they were as bad as that implies.

“I don’t think you’re ever too far from winning,” said Staal. “I wasn’t there (Detroit) last year, obviously, so I can’t speak on what was going on with the team, but everytime we played them, they were a very detailed team that wasn’t easy to beat by any means. They just need to get over the hump where success in winning games becomes a regularity." The Red Wings acquired Staal from the Rangers over the offseason and he'll help provide a veteran presence and be a cornerstone of their blueline. The Red Wings haven't made a big splash over the offseason, but they did sign some complimentary pieces, including Vladislav Namestnikov, Bobby Ryan, Troy Stecher, and Jon Merrill. It will be interesting to see how they all mesh with the Red Wings young core as they attempt to take a step forward next season.

B. Ryan - F

DET

Red Wings GM Steve Yzerman played a big role in luring Bobby Ryan to the Detroit Red Wings.

“The passion that just comes through for the Red Wings through him is contagious,” Ryan said. “I walked out of the room (after talking with Yzerman) and told my wife, ‘I think we’re signing in Detroit.’ I didn’t feel I needed to hear anything else from anybody.” The Red Wings are coming off a painful season where they posted a 17-49-5 record, but Yzerman's presence gives them a lot of credibility. He was the architect of the Tampa Bay Lightning squad that just won a championship, so there's reason to believe he can guide the Red Wings through their rebuild and into a serious contender too.
