Texans Waive Joey Slye With Ka'imi Fairbairn Returning

The Houston Texans waived kicker Joey Slye on Thursday. Slye wasn't terrible for Houston through the first three games of the season. The 25-year-old made four of his five field-goal attempts and had missed one of eight extra-point tries to begin the season. The move was made with regular kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn (leg) set to […]

Dee Eskridge Nearing A Return?

Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver Dee Eskridge (concussion) got in a limited practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday with his head injury. The 24-year-old caught his only target for six yards and carried the ball twice for 22 yards in his NFL debut in the season opener, but he's missed the last two […]

D.K. Metcalf Limited With Foot Injury

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf (foot) was on the Week 4 injury report on Thursday after getting in a limited practice session. It might not be an injury that will put him in danger of missing Sunday's game against the division-rival San Francisco 49ers, but it's worth mentioning with Tyler Lockett (hip) being downgraded […]

Carson Wentz Continues To Be Limited

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz (ankles) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. It was a bit of a surprise that Wentz even played in Week 3 after spraining both of his ankles the week prior, but he was out there and didn't aggravate either ankle. However, the 28-year-old didn't attempt […]

Jack Doyle In Danger Of Missing Week 4

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle (back) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday. Doyle will need to get in at least a limited practice on Friday to have a chance at playing in Week 4 against the Miami Dolphins. If he cannot go, Mo Alie-Cox and rookie Ben Bredeson would likely split […]

Tyler Conklin Back At Practice Thursday

Minnesota Vikings tight end Tyler Conklin (glute, elbow) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. It's a good sign that Conklin will be able to play in Week 4 against the Cleveland Browns after he went off for seven catches, 70 yards and a touchdown in the Week 3 win […]

T.J. Watt Practices In Full Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt (groin) was a full participant in practice on Thursday after he was limited on Wednesday. Watt was close to playing last week, but the team took the cautious route and held him out. We fully expect him to return to action in Week 4 in his return to his home […]

Chase Claypool Pops Up On Injury Report

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool (hamstring) popped up on the Week 4 injury report on Thursday and was a limited practice participant. The fact that Claypool was at least on the practice field is good news, but he's worth monitoring on Friday. Pittsburgh may have all of their receivers available this Sunday against the […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Back At Practice Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (ribs) practiced on a limited basis on Thursday after he missed practice on Wednesday. Smith-Schuster should be able to play against the Green Bay Packers this Sunday unless he suffers a setback on Friday at practice. The 24-year-old put in a really disappointing performance in the Week 3 loss […]

D.J. Chark Jr. Questionable To Return With Ankle Injury

Updating a previous report, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. (ankle) is officially listed as questionable to return on Thursday night against the Cincinnati Bengals with an ankle injury. The fact that Chark wasn't ruled out quickly is good news after he was carted off the field while in significant pain. However, it still […]

Diontae Johnson Looks Ready To Return In Week 4

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (knee) returned to a full practice on Thursday after he was limited on Wednesday. Of course, Johnson was inactive last week after injuring his knee at the end of Week 2. Unless he suffers a setback on Friday, the 25-year-old should be returned to starting fantasy lineups in Week […]

D.J. Chark Jr. Carted Off With Leg Injury Thursday

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. (leg) was carted off the field in significant pain on Thursday night after a player rolled up on the back of his leg. The injury happened on the Jaguars first drive of the game. Anytime a player is carted off the field, it's usually a long-term injury, but […]

Aaron Jones Has Been Limited This Week

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (ankle) has put in limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday this week, while backup A.J. Dillon (back) popped up on the injury report as a limited practice participant on Thursday. There's nothing to suggest that either player is in danger of missing a Week 4 tilt against the […]

Matthew Wright Kicking For Jaguars Thursday Night

The Jacksonville Jaguars elevated kicker Matthew Wright from the practice squad to the active roster on Thursday, and he will kick for the team against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 4. Josh Lambo, who has missed all three of his kicks this season, was ruled out on Thursday night due to personal reasons. Based on […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Won't Practice Thursday

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) will miss his second straight practice on Thursday. Valdes-Scantling's hamstring injury isn't believed to be a long-term issue, but it doesn't mean he'll play in Week 4 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Packers aren't expected to make a final decision on […]

Tony Pollard Away For Personal Reasons

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard missed practice for a personal reason on Thursday, but a source close to him isn't concerned. It sounds as if Pollard should return on Friday and be good to go for Week 4 against the undefeated Carolina Panthers. The 24-year-old is still playing second fiddle to lead back Ezekiel […]

Antonio Gibson Dealing With Shin Injury

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson (shin) missed practice on Thursday due to a shin injury. Gibson was wearing a sleeve over his shin during practice on Wednesday. It's unclear if this injury is actually something that could keep him from playing in Week 4 against the Atlanta Falcons, but we'll have a better […]

Josh Jacobs Back At Practice Thursday

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (ankle) was back at practice on Thursday after missing the last two games with an ankle injury. Jacobs looked to be going at full speed on Thursday during drills, so he's on track to return for a Monday night showdown against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 4. […]

A.J. Brown, Julio Jones Miss Another Practice

Tennessee Titans wide receivers A.J. Brown (hamstring) and Julio Jones (hamstring) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Both players need to get on the practice field on Friday to have a chance at playing in Week 4 against the New York Jets. If you were planning on starting either wideout, you should […]

D'Andre Swift's Role Could Grow Even More

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift leads all running backs in receiving yardage (166) through three weeks of the season, and his usage arrow could be going up even more. "I certainly think you're going to see a lot more Swift," head coach Dan Campbell said. Swift leads the team in rushes (33), rushing yards […]

Will Fuller Back At Practice Thursday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Will Fuller (chest, elbow) is back at practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. It's a good sign that he will be available for the Week 4 meeting with the Indianapolis Colts. The 27-year-old played 51 of a possible 83 offensive snaps in his season debut against the Las Vegas […]

Sterling Shepard, Darius Slayton Out Again Thursday

New York Giants wide receivers Sterling Shepard (hamstring) and Darius Slayton (hamstring) both remained out of practice on Thursday for the second straight day. Both receivers were injured in the Week 3 loss to the Atlanta Falcons and look questionable for Week 4 against the New Orleans Saints. Shepard has been New York's most trustworthy […]

Rob Gronkowski, Giovani Bernard Remain Sidelined

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski (ribs) and running back Giovani Bernard (knee) remained out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday. X-rays on Gronkowski's ribs came back negative, but two missed practices have his status up in the air for Sunday night in his return to New England to face the […]

Antonio Gibson Not Practicing Thursday

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson (undisclosed) is not practicing on Thursday after suiting up on Wednesday. It could just be a rest day for the team's lead running back, but we'll know more later. Gibson has been on the injury early this year with a shoulder injury that he suffered in Week 1, […]

DeAndre Hopkins Returns To Practice Thursday

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (rib) was back at practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Hopkins missed practice time last week, too, but he still played 91 percent of the offensive snaps in the Week 3 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. However, he ended up catching only three of his six targets […]

Lamar Jackson Dealing With A Back Flare-Up

Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman said that quarterback Lamar Jackson (back) is dealing with a back flare-up but that he should be fine for Week 4 against the Denver Broncos. The team is in "wait-and-see" mode as far as practice goes on Thursday. It sounds like Jackson will play this Sunday, but fantasy managers […]

Jessie Bates Won't Be Available Thursday Night

Cincinnati Bengals free safety Jessie Bates (neck) has been ruled out for the Thursday night game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 4. Cornerback Chidobe Awuzie (groin) is also doubtful, but cornerback Trae Waynes (hamstring) is set to make his debut after practicing in full the last two days. This will be the first game […]

Marcus Maye Out 3-4 Weeks

New York Jets franchise-tagged safety Marcus Maye (ankle) will miss three to four weeks with an ankle injury, according to a source. Maye is one of New York's best all-around defenders, so this is a big hit to their defense in the short term. The 28-year-old ranks tied for 14th in fantasy points in IDP […]

Jamison Crowder To Make His Debut This Week?

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder (groin) got in a limited practice session on Wednesday. Crowder missed the first two games of the season while being on the COVID-19 list, but he also sat out in the Week 3 loss to the Denver Broncos with a groin injury that has been bothering him since […]

Elijah Moore, Jeff Smith Miss Practice Wednesday

New York Jets wide receivers Elijah Moore (concussion) and Jeff Smith (concussion) both missed practice on Wednesday. Smith was in a car crash on his way to the team's facility on Wednesday. Both players will need to be cleared from the league's concussion protocol in order to play in Week 4 against the Tennessee Titans. […]
