Broncos worked out 3 fullbacks on Sunday (and signed 1 of them)
With their starting fullback and hybrid fullback both sidelined with injuries, the Denver Broncos brought in three free agents for tryouts over the weekend, according to the NFL's transaction wire. The Broncos hosted Adam Prentice, Khari Blasingame and Troy Hairston. Prentice won the tryout and was signed on Sunday evening. Denver had room for Prentice on the roster after placing offensive lineman Nick Gargiulo (knee) on injured reserve. Prentice (6-0, 245 pounds) started his career with the Broncos as an undrafted free agent out of South Carolina (and Colorado State before that) in 2021. After being cut by Denver, Prentice spent the last four years with the New Orleans Saints. He's now back with the Broncos following injuries to Michael Burton (hamstring) and Nate Adkins (ankle). Blasingame (6-0, 233 pounds) has spent time with four NFL teams, winning Super Bowl LIX with the Philadelphia Eagles last season. Hairston (5-11, 245 pounds) spent the first three years of his career with the Houston Texans before a stint with the Cleveland Browns this offseason. Depending on the health of Burton, Prentice will have a chance to serve as Denver's early-season fullback. Social: Follow Broncos Wire on Facebook and Twitter/X!

Are Braves Potential Landing Spot for Ketel Marte After 'Diva' Report?
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Arizona Diamondbacks are turning heads around Major League Baseball. Months after signing second baseman Ketel Marte to a multi-year extension, the Diamondbacks are reportedly looking to trade him in the offseason, according to MLB insider Bob Nightengale. ARLINGTON, TEXAS - AUGUST 13: Ketel Marte #4 of the Arizona Diamondbacks flips his bat after hitting a three-run home run during the ninth inning against the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field on August... ARLINGTON, TEXAS - AUGUST 13: Ketel Marte #4 of the Arizona Diamondbacks flips his bat after hitting a three-run home run during the ninth inning against the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field on August 13, 2025 in Arlington, Texas. More"The worst-kept secret in the Arizona Diamondbacks organizationis out: They will listen to offers on All-Star second baseman Ketel Marte this winter, knowing that while Marte is extremely talented, he can be a diva in the clubhouse, agitating his teammates and coaching staff. His detractors are still angry that he took a day off the final week of last season when they were fighting for their playoff lives. "Though Marte's house in Arizona was robbed the night of the All-Star Game, he took a vacation after the break, leaving the D-backs seething. .... The D-backs won't trade their three-time All-Star and NLCS MVP who has $92.5 million left on his contract after this season without getting fair value in return, but they're also aware that he'll become a 10-and-5 player early next season that gives him full no-trade rights. Certainly, the phone lines will be open." Aside from the fact that Marte's behavior is new within the last few months, it appears Arizona wants to start over. Enter the Atlanta Braves as a possible landing spot for Marte. The Braves will likely be shopping Ozzie Albies in the offseason, which will create an opening at second base. While Marte's contract would increase payroll and he is older than Albies, adding the 31-year-old infielder would help the Braves turn things around after a disappointing season. Entering Sunday, Marte was slashing .298/.399/.558 for the Diamondbacks with 23 home runs and 56 RBI. His bat would provide a major upgrade for a Braves lineup that is searching for offensive help. Atlanta would need to play its cards right when discussing deals to acquire Marte and shop Albies as it needs to hold onto the power in the negotiations. General manager Alex Anthopoulos will have his hands full in that regard. However, if the Braves have a chance to acquire Marte, they should absolutely push to get the deal done.
