Noah Brown Still Not Practicing

Washington Commanders wide receiver Noah Brown (groin, knee) was tagged with a DNP for Thursday's practice, per the team.

Cedric Tillman Logs Another Limited Practice

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (hand, hip) logged his second consecutive limited practice session on Thursday while dealing with multiple injuries. Tillman remains as Cleveland's obvious WR2 through three weeks, as he and Jerry Jeudy are the only wideouts to eclipse 100 snaps, boasting 90 more than the next pass-catcher (Isaiah Bond). However, the […]

Bhayshul Tuten Still Practicing in Limited Fashion

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten (shoulder) remained a limited participant at Thursday's practice as he battles through a shoulder injury. The Virginia Tech product logged a week's worth of limited practices ahead of the team's win over the Houston Texans in Week 3, but would still suit up for the contest. However, Tuten saw […]

Tyler Higbee Added to Injury Report With Hip Injury

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (hip) was listed as a limited participant for Thursday's practice with a hip injury. The veteran logged a full practice on Wednesday, so the hip injury presumably occurred within the last 24 hours.

Michael Mayer Still Not Practicing

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Michael Mayer (concussion) was tagged with a DNP for the second consecutive day while he works back from a concussion.

Chuba Hubbard Pops Up with Calf Injury

Per the team, Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard (calf) logged a limited practice session on Thursday while dealing with a calf injury. Hubbard didn't appear on Wednesday's practice report, so it's at least mildly concerning that he was limited with a new injury a day later. That he practiced in at least some fashion […]

Mac Jones Limited Again with Knee Issue

ESPN's Nick Wagoner reports that San Francisco 49ers quarterback Mac Jones was a limited participant at practice for the second consecutive day due to a knee injury.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (toe, shoulder) was again listed as a limited participant in Thursday's team practice, ESPN's Nick Wagoner reports.

Nico Collins Back to Full Participation Thursday

According to the team, Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins (knee) practiced in full on Thursday. The 26-year-old was a surprise addition to Wednesday's practice report with a knee injury, but he's back out there a day later, insinuating that it was probably just a day of rest for him. Fantasy managers will want to […]

Brock Purdy Progressing Well in Return from Injury

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch noted on Thursday that quarterback Brock Purdy (toe, shoulder) looked "really good" at Wednesday's practice. "We'll see how he responds today," Lynch said. "His progression has been really a good one." The Iowa State product was able to log another limited session on Wednesday, but has yet to […]

Oronde Gadsden Gets Glowing Review from QB

When asked by reporters about heavily targeting tight end Oronde Gadsden in his NFL debut, Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert sang the praises of the rookie.

Derrick Henry Working Through Fumbling Issues

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry noted on Wednesday via the team's official site that he's focused on improving his ball security after a string of recent fumbles.

Joshua Palmer Fading in Buffalo and for Fantasy Purposes

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Joshua Palmer did not make an impact in Week 3's 31-21 win over the visiting Miami Dolphins, catching his lone target for a gain of five yards.

Anthony Richardson Sr.'s Cameo Doesn't Move the Fantasy Needle

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr. closed out Week 3's 41-20 victory over the Tennessee Titans, but did not factor into the game's outcome. The former Florida Gator took the field for the Colts' final drive, participating on his first seven plays of the season. He'd finish the contest with negative-one rushing yards on four […]

Mason Taylor's Role on the Rise

New York Jets rookie tight end Mason Taylor saw his involvement tick up in Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, reeling in 4-of-6 targets for 18 yards. It didn't amount to much in the box score, but the LSU product tied running back Breece Hall for the second-most targets on the team, and […]

Braelon Allen Carving Out Short-Yardage Role

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen ran well in Week 3's 29-27 loss to the hosting Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but fell victim to a negative game script and failed to gain traction.

Breece Hall Hits Wall in Week 3 Dud

New York Jets running back Breece Hall failed to make an impact in Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, totaling 21 yards on nine totes and an additional 31 through the air on 4-of-6 receiving. With New York pigeon-holing itself into a game plan centered around short passes, the 24-year-old couldn't get anything […]

Russell Wilson Underwhelms Following Superb Week 2

New York Giants quarterback Russell Wilson completed 18 of 32 pass attempts for 160 yards, tossing two interceptions in his team's 22-9 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Blake Corum Continues Gaining Trust

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum gained 53 yards on eight carries in Sunday's 33-26 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

Backfield mate Kyren Williams […]

Romeo Doubs Disappears in Defensive Slugfest

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs was a non-factor in Week 3's 13-10 loss to the Cleveland Browns, catching both of his targets for 25 scoreless yards.

Justin Fields Won't Lose Starting Gig

New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn reports on Monday that quarterback Justin Fields (concussion) will remain the team's starter once clearing concussion protocol.

Sterling Shepard's Production a Mirage?

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Sterling Shepard caught 4-of-5 targets for 80 yards in Sunday's 29-27 win against the visiting New York Jets. Shepard sneakily climbed up to Tampa Bay's second-leading receiver with his second straight four-catch outing -- trailing only rookie wideout Emeka Egbuka in yards. He's also second on the team in receptions […]

Trey Sermon Elevated to Active Roster

The Pittsburgh Steelers have promoted running back Trey Sermon from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of their road contest with the New England Patriots, Teresa Varley of the team reports. It's unclear what prompted Pittsburgh to call upon the 26-year-old's services, as there hasn't been an injury to his backfield mates. Jaylen […]

Tristan Wirfs Could Return Next Week

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, there's a "strong chance" that Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive lineman Tristan Wirfs (knee) will make his season debut in next weekend's home matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles.
