Detroit Tigers Sign Veteran Alex Cobb, Rehab Nears Season Debut

The Detroit Tigers signed veteran pitcher Alex Cobb to strengthen their rotation, but he has been sidelined due to hip inflammation since February. Positive updates indicate Cobb is about to begin a rehab assignment, moving closer to his season debut, which should provide valuable depth behind younger starters like Reese Olson and Jackson Jobe. In the NFL, the Detroit Lions had a productive 2025 draft, selecting several rookies expected to contribute immediately, including offensive linemen Tate Ratledge and Miles Frazier, and receiver Issac TeSlaa, who is projected to gain significant playing time. Frazier, despite being a later-round pick, has shown promising traits and is quietly developing as a potential key player for the Lions. Meanwhile, Lions rookie running back Cam Skattebo joined the New York Giants and displayed a physical running style complementing teammate Tyrone Tracy Jr., though he humorously struggled to recognize Hall of Famer Calvin Johnson. Additionally, the Green Bay Packers invested in offensive talent through the draft, with third-round wide receiver Savion Williams emerging as a potential red zone threat alongside first-round pick Matthew Golden.
