Chase Claypool Expected To Have A Role Sunday

Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Luke Getsy anticipates new wide receiver Chase Claypool playing a role in his debut with the team in Week 9 against the Miami Dolphins. "The level of what that looks like, we're not quite sure," Getsy said. Claypool goes from one bad offense in the Pittsburgh Steelers to another in the […]

Allen Lazard, Christian Watson Practicing Thursday

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Allen Lazard (shoulder) and Christian Watson (concussion) were both seen practicing in pads on Thursday. Lazard was limited on Wednesday after sitting out the Week 8 loss to the Buffalo Bills, so he looks to be on the right track towards returning this Sunday to face the Detroit Lions. Watson […]

Josh Reynolds Not Seen On Thursday

Detroit Lions wide receiver Josh Reynolds (back) was not seen at the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday. Reynolds was limited on Wednesday, so he either suffered a setback or is being rested on Thursday. The 27-year-old could be questionable for the Week 9 game against the Green Bay Packers. If he's […]

D'Andre Swift, Brock Wright At Practice Thursday

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder) and tight end Brock Wright (concussion) were both seen at practice on Thursday, with Wright donning a red no-contact shirt. Neither Swift nor Wright practiced on Wednesday, so it's improvement heading into the Week 9 game against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. Swift returned from a […]

Jonathan Taylor Missing Practice Again Thursday

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) wasn't seen at the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday and also didn't practice on Wednesday. After tweaking his sprained ankle in the Week 8 loss to the Washington Commanders, Taylor is now in danger of missing his third game this year in Week 9 […]

Phillip Dorsett, Chris Moore To Have Bigger Roles

With Houston Texans wide receivers Brandin Cooks (personal) and Nico Collins (groin) both out on Thursday night against the Philadelphia Eagles, receivers Phillip Dorsett, Chris Moore and Tyron Johnson will be the starters in three-wide sets. Moore played 65 percent of the offensive snaps last week with Collins out, but he didn't draw a single […]

Texans Not Expected To Release Brandin Cooks

The Houston Texans are not expected to release disgruntled wide receiver Brandin Cooks right now, according to a source. The Texans have no plans to go that route, barring changes, and it's unclear if the two sides would consider restructuring Cooks' contract. The veteran wideout was hoping to be traded to a contender at Tuesday's […]

Jahan Dotson Absent Again Thursday

Washington Commanders rookie wide receiver Jahan Dotson (hamstring) is missing another practice on Thursday. Dotson hasn't played since Week 4 and is trending towards missing yet another contest in Week 9 against the Minnesota Vikings. The 22-year-old is worth stashing in most fantasy leagues, however, as he had 12 catches for 152 yards and four […]

Cardinals Hope Robbie Anderson Will Have Bigger Role

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said he hopes wide receiver Robbie Anderson can have a bigger role in Week 9 against the Seattle Seahawks and that the coaches will try to "force feed" him the ball. In his first two games with the team after being acquired from the Carolina Panthers, Anderson has been […]

Tyron Smith Still A Ways From A Possible Return

Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said that left tackle Tyron Smith (knee, hamstring) is around three to four weeks away from starting his 21-day window to practice with the team. However, Jones is also cautious that could change. The 31-year-old has been on Injured Reserve since Aug. 31 after having surgery on his […]

Jordan Poyer Week-To-Week

Buffalo Bills safety Jordan Poyer (elbow), who was unable to practice on Wednesday, is considered week-to-week with the elbow injury that he suffered in the Sunday night win over the Green Bay Packers in Week 8, according to a source. It's unlikely that the 31-year-old will be ready to go for the Week 9 divisional […]

Kadarius Toney Could Play Against Titans

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid suggested that wide receiver Kadarius Toney could make his debut with the team on Sunday night against the Tennessee Titans. "We'll try to work him in. He picks things up fairly easily," Reid said. Toney played in just two games for the New York Giants this year due […]

Brandin Cooks Won't Play Thursday Night

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks will not play on Thursday night against the Philadelphia Eagles. Cooks missed practice this week for what the team described as personal reasons. He had hoped to be traded to a playoff contender at Tuesday's deadline, but it did not happen and he will not play in Week 9. […]

No Practice For Christian Watson Wednesday

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Christian Watson (concussion) was listed as a non-participant in practice on Wednesday. Watson returned from a multi-week absence due to a hamstring injury in the Week 8 loss to the Buffalo Bills and promptly suffered a concussion. The 23-year-old will need to pass through the league's concussion protocol in […]

Darrel Williams Placed On Injured Reserve

The Arizona Cardinals placed running back Darrel Williams (hip) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday and claimed defensive lineman Trysten Hill after he was released by the Dallas Cowboys on Tuesday. Williams had just returned in the Week 8 loss to the Minnesota Vikings from a knee injury that had sidelined him for a few games. […]

No Timetable For Panthers To Activate Sam Darnold

Carolina Panthers interim head coach Steve Wilks said it's tough to say when the team will activate quarterback Sam Darnold (ankle), whose 21-day window ends next Tuesday. If the team doesn't activate him by then, he'll remain on Injured Reserve for the rest of the season. Wilks said that Darnold looks good, but he also […]

Logan Thomas Limited On Wednesday

Washington Commanders tight ends Logan Thomas (calf) and Cole Turner (concussion) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Thomas returned to action in the Week 8 win over the Indianapolis Colts to halt a three-game absence. He played 56 percent of the offensive snaps in his first game back, but he wasn't targeted by quarterback […]

J.D. McKissic Listed As DNP Wednesday

Washington Commanders running back J.D. McKissic (neck) was unable to practice on Wednesday. It's a new injury for McKissic, and right now he should be considered questionable to play in Week 9 against the Minnesota Vikings. He's been involved in a three-man committee backfield in Washington alongside rookie Brian Robinson and Antonio Gibson, making him […]

Josh Reynolds Puts In A Limited Practice

Detroit Lions wide receiver Josh Reynolds (back) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Reynolds' back injury is new, as he was previously dealing with ankle and knee ailments this year. It's something to watch heading into Week 9 against the Green Bay Packers. With T.J. Hockenson now in Minnesota, there will be […]

Julio Jones, Russell Gage Miss Wednesday's Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receivers Julio Jones (knee) and Russell Gage (hamstring) were both non-participants in Wednesday's practice. Jones returned in last Thursday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens for just his third game of the season. He caught just two passes for 21 yards, but he saved his fantasy day with a late touchdown. Gage […]

Mike Evans, Cameron Brate Limited Wednesday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (ankle) and tight end Cameron Brate (neck) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Evans has been playing through a balky hamstring, but he was limited at all in the Week 8 loss to the Baltimore Ravens and caught six passes for 123 yards. The biggest issue for […]

Damien Harris, DeVante Parker Miss Practice Wednesday

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (illness) and wide receiver DeVante Parker (knee) both missed practice on Wednesday. Harris has taken a back seat to Rhamondre Stevenson in recent weeks, although he did have 11 carries for only 37 yards in last week's loss to the New York Jets. And now he could be […]

James Conner, Matt Prater Limited Wednesday

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (ribs) and kicker Matt Prater (hip) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Conner hasn't played since Week 5, and it remains to be seen if he'll play this weekend against the Seattle Seahawks. He'll likely have to practice in full later this week. Darrel Williams (hip) was placed […]

Jaylen Waddle Puts In A Full Practice

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (shoulder) was able to practice in full on Wednesday. Waddle has been limited in practice to begin the week recently, so he appears to be getting close to full health heading into a Week 9 matchup against the Chicago Bears on the road. The 23-year-old second-year wideout has topped […]

Keenan Allen Won't Return Until He's 100 Percent

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) said his hamstring injury got worse during last week's bye while training. Allen said the next time he goes into a game it won't be on a snap count and that it will be all or nothing with his hamstring absolutely ready to go. He said he […]

Martin Maldonado, Trey Mancini Sitting In Game 4

Houston Astros catcher Martin Maldonado and outfielder/designated hitter Trey Mancini will start Game 4 of the World Series on Wednesday against the Philadelphia Phillies on the bench. Christian Vazquez will do the catching and hit seventh, while Yordan Alvarez is serving as the designated hitter and batting third against Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola. Maldonado started […]

Andrew Chafin To Become A Free Agent

Detroit Tigers left-handed reliever Andrew Chafin intends to decline his $6.5 million player option to become a free agent this offseason, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. Chafin will be seeking a multi-year deal on the open market, but there's a chance the Tigers could re-sign him. Meanwhile, second baseman Jonathan Schoop […]

Noah Syndergaard To Start Game 5 Regardless

Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Noah Syndergaard will start Game 5 of the World Series against the Houston Astros on Thursday, regardless of what happens in Game 4 on Wednesday. Syndergaard was originally scheduled to start Game 3 on Monday, but the Phillies went with left-hander Ranger Suarez instead when the game was postponed and pushed back […]

Yordan Alvarez Serving As The DH In Game 4

Houston Astros outfielder Yordan Alvarez is serving as the designated hitter and is batting third in Game 4 of the World Series against the Philadelphia Phillies and right-hander Aaron Nola on Wednesday. With Alvarez at DH, Aledmys Diaz will get the nod in left field and will hit eighth in the batting order. One of […]

D'Andre Swift, Brock Wright Miss Practice Wednesday

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder) and tight end Brock Wright (concussion) both missed practice on Wednesday.
