Juwan Johnson Misses Practice Thursday

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson (ankle) was unable to get on the practice field on Thursday. Johnson played a season-low 47 percent of the offensive snaps in the Week 12 loss to the San Francisco 49ers and he failed to catch either of his two targets after a stretch of three straight games […]

Richie James, Daniel Bellinger Limited Thursday

New York Giants wide receiver Richie James (knee) and rookie tight end Daniel Bellinger (eye) were both listed as limited participants in practice on Thursday. The Giants didn't actually practice on Thursday, so the designations were estimations. James picked up a DNP on Wednesday, so he's making progress and should be able to play in […]

Darius Slayton Misses Practice Thursday

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (illness) was added to this week's injury report on Thursday when he missed practice due to an illness. There's still a good chance that Slayton will be able to play in Week 13 against the Washington Commanders, but it's something fantasy managers will want to keep an eye […]

Treylon Burks Out Sick Thursday

Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Treylon Burks (illness) popped up on the injury report on Thursday when he missed practice due to an illness. Burks will most likely play in Week 13 against the Philadelphia Eagles, but it's worth keeping an eye on his status leading up to Sunday's game. The 22-year-old rookie has missed […]

David Njoku In Danger Of Missing Week 13

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) missed his second straight day of practice this week on Thursday. On top of it, Njoku is also dealing with a new knee injury than the one that caused him to miss several games earlier this season. He could still return to practice on Friday and have a […]

Zach Eflin Agrees With The Rays

The Tampa Bay Rays agreed to a three-year, $40 million deal with free-agent right-hander Zach Eflin on Thursday. Eflin became a free agent this winter when he declined a $15 million mutual option to remain with the Philadelphia Phillies in 2023. Although he served as a bullpen piece for the Phillies in the postseason, Eflin […]

Travis Etienne Jr., Zay Jones Limited Again Thursday

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. (foot) and wide receiver Zay Jones (chest) were both limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Etienne suffered a minor left foot sprain last week, and the Jaguars admitted that they held him out of the rest of the Week 12 game as a precaution. […]

Jerry Jeudy Not Present For Thursday's Practice

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (ankle) was not practicing on Thursday. Jeudy has yet to practice this week and is trending towards missing his third straight game with an ankle injury in Week 13 when the team takes on the Baltimore Ravens on the road. The 23-year-old last suited up in the Week 10 […]

Deebo Samuel Not Seen At Practice Thursday

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (quadriceps) wasn't seen at practice on Thursday in the portion open to the media. Samuel was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday, so perhaps the Niners are just giving him a veteran's day of rest ahead of their big Week 13 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. The […]

Lamar Jackson Puts In Full Practice Thursday

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (quadriceps) was officially a full participant in practice on Thursday. Jackson was unable to finish Wednesday's practice due to a quadriceps injury, but it's a great sign that he didn't have any restrictions a day later. The 25-year-old dual-threat signal-caller shouldn't have any problems playing this Sunday against the Denver […]

Josh Jacobs, Brandon Bolden Limited Thursday

Las Vegas Raiders running backs Josh Jacobs (calf) and Brandon Bolden (calf) were both limited in practice on Thursday for the second straight day. The Raiders were hoping Jacobs would be available to play in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Chargers after he aggravated his left calf injury in Week 12, and all signs […]

Kaiir Elam A Healthy Scratch Thursday Night

With Buffalo Bills starting cornerback Tre'Davious White (knee) expected to play a bit more in his second game of the season on Thursday night against the New England Patriots, first-round rookie cornerback Kaiir Elam is a healthy scratch. White, a two-time Pro Bowler, played just 16 defensive snaps in the Thanksgiving Day win over the […]

Mike Brosseau Avoids Arbitration With Brewers

The Milwaukee Brewers and infielder Mike Brosseau avoided salary arbitration on Thursday by agreeing to an undisclosed one-year deal. In his first year with Milwaukee in 2022, Brosseau hit .255/.344/.418 with a career-high-tying six home runs, 23 RBI, 15 runs scored and two stolen bases in 160 plate appearances over 69 games. The 28-year-old can […]

Rockies Optimistic About Kris Bryant

The Colorado Rockies are optimistic that third baseman/outfielder Kris Bryant (foot) will arrive at spring training next year healthy after he was limited to 42 games in 2022 due to injuries. "Our trainers and strength guys have checked in with him and from everything I'm being told he looks good. We are optimistic about him […]

Shintaro Fujinami Officially Posted

The Hanshin Tigers of Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball officially posted right-hander Shintaro Fujinami on Thursday. Shintaro will have 30 days to negotiate a deal with a major-league club in the United States. The hard-throwing 28-year-old is best known for a nasty split-fingered fastball, but he'll need to exhibit better control in the States if he […]

Franklin Barreto Signs With Nationals

The Washington Nationals signed infielder Franklin Barreto to a minor-league deal on Thursday. Barreto last played in the big leagues in the shortened 2020 season with the Oakland Athletics and Los Angeles Angels, but he'll have a decent shot to make it back in 2023 with the rebuilding Nationals. He signed a minor-league deal with […]

Jaylen Warren Practicing In Full Again

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie running back Jaylen Warren (hamstring) put in a second straight day of full practice on Thursday. "Doctors cleared me, I'm ready to go," Warren said on Wednesday. He sat out of the Monday night win over the Indianapolis Colts, but he's primed to return in Week 13 against the Atlanta Falcons. And […]

Najee Harris Gets Another DNP, Benny Snell Jr. Limited

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris (oblique) missed his second straight day of practice this week on Thursday, while running back Benny Snell Jr. (knee) popped up on the injury report after putting in a limited practice. Harris picked up an oblique injury that isn't considered serious in Monday night's win over the Indianapolis Colts, […]

Ja'Marr Chase, Joe Mixon Limited Thursday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase (hip) and running back Joe Mixon (concussion) both remained limited in practice on Thursday for the second straight day. Chase suffered a hairline fracture of his right hip and a hyperextended right leg in late October and hasn't played since, but he's expected to return this weekend to face […]

John Brown Elevated To Active Roster

The Buffalo Bills elevated wide receiver John Brown from their practice squad to their active roster for the Thursday night game in Week 13 against the New England Patriots. This will be Brown's first game active in 2022 after spending the 2021 season with the Denver Broncos, Jacksonville Jaguars and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 32-year-old […]

Von Miller Lands On Injured Reserve

The Buffalo Bills placed linebacker Von Miller (knee) on Injured Reserve on Thursday, knocking him out for at least four games. Miller said this week that he was hoping to return before the Week 14 game against the New York Jets on Dec. 11, but that was clearly too optimistic. The Bills didn't want to […]

Jordan Davis Likely To Return In Week 13?

Philadelphia Eagles rookie defensive tackle Jordan Davis (ankle) has returned to practice this week, and NBC Sports Philadelphia's Reuben Frank thinks it's pretty likely that he's activated from Injured Reserve to play in Week 13 against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. The 22-year-old first-rounder has been out since suffering a high-ankle sprain in Week 8, […]

Lamar Jackson Takes Part In Thursday's Practice

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (quadriceps) returned to practice on Thursday after he did not finish Wednesday's session due to a quadriceps injury. Jackson missed the first 15 minutes of individual drills on Thursday before jogging out onto the field. The 25-year-old dual-threat QB is likely to be limited again on Thursday, but he's unlikely […]

KJ Hamler Suffers A Setback

Denver Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett said that wide receiver KJ Hamler (hamstring) has suffered a setback in his recovery from a hamstring injury that has kept him out since Week 8. Hamler hasn't practiced yet this week and remains sidelined indefinitely. The 23-year-old speedy deep threat continues to be hampered by injuries early in […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Returns To Practice Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (illness) returned to practice on Thursday after he missed Wednesday's session with an illness. Smith-Schuster should be just fine to suit up in Sunday's rematch of last year's AFC Championship game against the Cincinnati Bengals. The 26-year-old should be a fine target as a WR3/flex for fantasy managers, […]

Jerick McKinnon, Kadarius Toney Won't Practice

Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon (hamstring) and wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstring) won't practice on Thursday. Neither player has practiced yet this week, leaving their availability in question for this weekend's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Toney would be in line to miss his second straight game. If McKinnon is out, Ronald Jones […]

Antonio Gibson Downgraded To DNP Thursday

Washington Commanders running back Antonio Gibson (foot) was listed as a DNP at practice on Thursday after he was limited on Wednesday. It remains to be seen if Gibson was just being rested or if this is an actual setback with his injury, but we should know more on Friday. Either way, fantasy managers should […]

Jakobi Meyers Expected To Play Thursday

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (shoulder), who is listed as questionable for Week 13 due to a shoulder injury, is expected to play on Thursday night against the Buffalo Bills, according to a source. Meyers was limited in practice on the short week and said that he plans to play after injuring his […]

Michael Carter Absent From Practice Thursday

There was no sign of New York Jets running back Michael Carter (ankle) on the practice field on Thursday. Carter also missed Wednesday's practice, so he's trending towards missing the Week 13 game against the Minnesota Vikings unless he can return to practice in some form on Friday. The 23-year-old is only dealing with a […]

Aaron Rodgers Will Practice Thursday

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that quarterback Aaron Rodgers (rib, thumb) will practice on Thursday. "As far as how much he'll do, it'll be limited," LaFleur said. Rodgers has been playing through a fractured right thumb, but he also injured his rib in the Sunday night loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Scans […]
