Graham Gano Returns For Week 12’s Contest

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (COVID-19) has been activated ahead of Sunday's game versus Cincinnati, returning to the mix without having missed a game despite a positive virus test.

49ers Will Have To Find New Short-Term Home Facility

The San Francisco 49ers practice and play their home games in Santa Clara County in California, which is problematic in light of the decree that came down Saturday that does not allow college or professional sports teams to practice or play contact sports over the next three weeks due to concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. […]

Ben Roethlisberger Makes Limited Return To Practice Tuesday

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (quad) was able to practice in limited fashion Tuesday, increasing his likelihood of suiting up Thursday against Baltimore.

Washington Football Team kicker Dustin Hopkins (groin) was unable to suit up for practice Tuesday, increasing the fervor around his status for Thursday's game against Dallas. Hopkins had been questionable to take the field in Week 11, but managed to make both of his extra points and go 2-for-3 on field goals. The 2020 year […]

Julio Jones On Track To Be Game-Time Decision Sunday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) has earned the unique distinction of being tagged as a game-time decision for Sunday as early as Tuesday, per head coach Raheem Morris.

San Francisco 49ers running backs Raheem Mostert (ankle) and Jeff Wilson Jr. (ankle) were both designated to return from Injured Reserve on Tuesday, making it possible that either could take the field Sunday against the Rams.

Antonio Gibson Logs Full Practice Tuesday

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson (ankle) may have been an estimated DNP participant Monday, but that didn't stop him from logging a full practice session Tuesday, all but clearing him to take the field Thursday against Dallas.

Terry McLaurin Progresses To Limited Practice Action Tuesday

Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin (ankle) was able to log a limited practice Tuesday, an improvement from the estimated DNP that he earned Monday.

Byron Pringle Lands On Injured Reserve

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Byron Pringle (ankle) was placed on Injured Reserve on Tuesday, meaning that he'll miss at least the team's upcoming three contests. Pringle hauled in three receptions for 17 yards versus Las Vegas on Sunday night before departing due to an ankle injury, which will keep him on the shelf for […]

Cleveland Adds Joe Jackson To COVID-19 List

Cleveland Browns defensive end Joe Jackson landed on the COVID-19 list on Tuesday, thereby putting his status for Sunday's game against Jacksonville in question.

San Francisco 49ers cornerback K'Waun Williams has been levied a two-game suspension due to a violation of the league's performance-enhancing substance policy, meaning that he'll be out of the mix Sunday against the Rams and in Week 13 versus Buffalo. Jamar Taylor is expected to step in for Williams in the secondary, although the continued […]

Jets Release Mike White

Despite New York Jets head coach Adam Gase all but saying that 2020 fourth-round pick James Morgan is essentially getting a redshirt year as a rookie, the organization made the call Monday to release quarterback Mike White, who had been serving as Joe Flacco's backup. While Sam Darnold (shoulder) continues to battle injuries, Morgan may […]

Xavier McKinney, Oshane Ximines Return From Injured Reserve

The New York Giants Defense could have both safety Xavier McKinney (foot) and linebacker Oshane Ximines (shoulder) back in the mix Sunday versus Cincinnati after having designated both to return from Injured Reserve on Monday. McKinney was the team's second-round draft choice this year, although he would likely play a limited role in his first […]

Miami Adds Jesse Davis To COVID-19 List

Miami Dolphins offensive lineman Jesse Davis has been placed on the COVID-19 list on Monday and will reportedly not be available for Sunday's game versus the Jets. Players do not have to test positive to be added to the list. Davis' absence likely means that Rob Hunt will slide over to man the right tackle […]

Randall Cobb Doesn't Practice Monday

Houston Texans wide receiver Randall Cobb (toe) would not have been available to participate in Monday's practice had there been one. After leaving Sunday's win over New England due to a toe injury, Cobb is not trending in the right direction to return for Thursday's matchup with the Lions. Keke Coutee earned praises in the […]

Kenny Golladay A Limited Practice Participant Monday

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay (hip) has been sidelined since Week 8 due to a hip ailment, but despite the quick turnaround ahead of a Week 12 matchup versus Houston, the team's top receiver was listed as a would-be limited practice participant Monday.

Dez Bryant Reverts Back To Practice Squad Monday

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Dez Bryant was moved back to the practice squad following the team's Week 11 win over Tennessee. While Bryant saw a drastic upswing in usage versus the Titans, even securing four receptions for 28 yards, he cannot be viewed as a fantasy asset in any sized season-long format due to his […]

Sam Darnold Set To Practice Wednesday; Week 12 Status Unknown

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) continues to work his way back from a shoulder injury, with the expectation that he can return to practice Wednesday.

Mark Andrews Logs Limited Practice Monday

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (thigh) would have only been able to practice in a limited capacity Monday had one been available to him.

The San Francisco 49ers placed defensive linemen D.J. Jones and Jordan Willis on the COVID-19 list Sunday, with the move becoming official on Monday.
