The Philadelphia Eagles are releasing running back Trey Sermon ahead of the 53-man roster cutdown deadline on Tuesday.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Justyn Ross has officially made the team's 53-man active roster ahead of the regular season.

Given his college production, there might […]

Malik Davis Released By Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys released running back Malik Davis on Tuesday as teams cut down to 53-man rosters.

Robbie Chosen Released By Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins have released veteran wide receiver Robbie Chosen. Anderson has spent time with the New York Jets, Carolina Panthers, and Arizona Cardinals since entering the league in 2016 as an undrafted free agent, but he couldn't crack Miami's 53-man roster.

Is Treylon Burks Injured or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks was a hot prospect coming into the NFL last season, but injuries and playing in a poor offense held him back for much of his rookie campaign.

The fantasy football landscape has evolved mightily and there are countless scoring formats and leagues of all shapes and sizes, but the three most popular formats continue to be standard, half-PPR, and PPR (point per reception) scoring.

Deeper League Tight End Sleepers for 2023 Fantasy Football Drafts - Gerald Everett, Tyler Conklin, Irv Smith, more

The tight end position in fantasy football is always tricky to navigate. Travis Kelce has been a remarkably dominant presence and offered a unique advantage over the last half-decade. But there are usually only a few more players at the position that present real upside. That said, not every fantasy manager will walk away from […]

Colt McCoy Released By Cardinals

The Arizona Cardinals released veteran quarterback Colt McCoy on Monday. McCoy has been getting reps with the first-team offense during the preseason but looks to be the odd man out after the team traded for Joshua Dobbs. The 36-year-old started 36 games and appeared in 56 games over the last 13 seasons, passing for 7,975 […]

Treylon Burks Back At Practice Monday

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks (knee) suffered an LCL injury on August 16 but is returning to practice on Monday.

While his return to practice doesn't guarantee […]

Jaxon Smith-Njigba To Begin Season On Active Roster

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba (wrist) is expected to begin the regular season on the active roster.

Kyler Murray Will Stay On PUP List To Begin Season

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (knee) will not be activated off the PUP (Physically Unable to Perform) list at the start of the 2023 regular season.

Trace McSorley Released By Patriots

Quarterback Trace McSorley was released by the New England Patriots on Monday. The 28-year-old signed with the organization in April but did not earn a final roster spot.

Jake Bobo Likely To Make Seahawks Roster

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jake Bobo is trending toward making the team's 53-man roster. Despite running a putrid 4.99 40-yard dash during the pre-draft process, the undrafted rookie has impressed during training camp and preseason action. Given the injuries of Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Dareke Young and the suspension of D'Wayne Eskridge, Bobo has a real […]

Will Levis Not Expected To Play Against Patriots

Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis (thigh) is not expected to play against the Patriots on Friday night.

Washington Commanders quarterback Jacoby Brissett will start for the team in the preseason finale against the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday.
