Brandon Johnson Could Be Thrust Into No. 2 Role

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Brandon Johnson has played in just four games in his first NFL season, with all four of them coming in the last four weeks. He's hauled in only three of his 10 targets for just 12 yards, but he does have one touchdown. Johnson will be playing in his fifth […]

Tyler Lockett Suffers Broken Finger Thursday Night

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that wide receiver Tyler Lockett (finger) broke his index finger in the Thursday night loss to the San Francisco 49ers. It's now unclear if Lockett will be able to play again this season with three games remaining. Lockett caught seven of his nine targets for a team-high 68 […]

Jerry Jeudy Could Be A Target Hog Again In Week 15

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy was a target hog in the Week 14 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs with Courtland Sutton (hamstring) sidelined, and he finished with a season-high eight catches on nine targets for 73 yards and three touchdowns. Although Jeudy is still second on the team in receiving yards (587) behind […]

Marlon Mack Looking For A Bigger Role

Denver Broncos running back Marlon Mack had just three carries for 15 yards in last week's loss to the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs, but he also caught two passes for 62 yards and his first touchdown since the 2019 season with the Indianapolis Colts. With Mike Boone (ankle) on Injured Reserve and out for the […]

Latavius Murray Has A Nice Matchup In Week 15

Denver Broncos running back Latavius Murray will be looking to bounce back in Week 15 against the Arizona Cardinals after seeing a season-low-tying eight carries for 32 yards in last week's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. He has a good matchup to turn things around against a Cardinals run defense that has allowed the […]

Brett Rypien Could Make Second Start Of The Season

Denver Broncos quarterback Brett Rypien came on in relief of a concussed Russell Wilson in Week 14 against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs in the fourth quarter and went 4-for-8 for 16 yards, one touchdown and one interception. If Wilson doesn't clear the concussion protocol, Rypien could be making his second start of the year […]

Omar Narvaez Joins Mets On One-Year Deal

The New York Mets and free-agent catcher Omar Narvaez agreed to a one-year deal worth $8 million on Thursday that includes a $7 million player option for the 2024 season. Narvaez comes to Queens after serving as the Milwaukee Brewers' primary catcher over the last three years. He made the All-Star team for the first […]

49ers Place Hassan Ridgeway On Injured Reserve

The San Francisco 49ers placed defensive lineman Hassan Ridgeway (pectoral) on Injured Reserve on Thursday and promoted cornerback Janoris Jenkins and wide receiver Willie Snead IV to the active roster from the practice squad for Thursday night's game against the Seattle Seahawks. Ridgeway strained his pectoral muscle in Week 13 and will now miss the […]

Robert Woods Returns To Practice

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Robert Woods (illness) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday due to an illness. Woods was able to put in a full practice on Thursday, so he should be just fine to play in Week 15 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Rookie Treylon Burks (concussion) hasn't practiced this […]

Treylon Burks Remains Out Thursday

Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Treylon Burks (concussion) was not spotted at Thursday's practice. Burks also sat out on Wednesday, so he's running out of time to get back on the practice field. The 22-year-old first-rounder suffered a concussion and was forced to sit out last week's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, so he could […]

Courtland Sutton, Kendall Hinton Out Again Thursday

Denver Broncos wide receivers Courtland Sutton (hamstring) and Kendall Hinton (hamstring) both missed practice again on Thursday. Sutton missed the Week 14 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs and is trending toward missing his second straight game this Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. If Hinton also sits out this weekend, the Broncos will be down […]

Kenny Pickett Puts In Another Limited Practice

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett (concussion) was limited in practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Pickett remains in the league's concussion protocol after his second concussion of his first NFL season. The Steelers haven't announced a starter for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers, so everything remains on the table, […]

Pat Freiermuth Absent Again Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth (foot) missed a second straight day of practice this week on Thursday. Despite missing practice on Wednesday, Freiermuth said that he still expected to play in Week 15 against the Carolina Panthers. However, with two DNPs now under his belt, his status is certainly worth watching this weekend. Freiermuth […]

Carlos Rodon Lands Six-Year Deal From Yankees

The New York Yankees agreed to a six-year, $162 million deal with free-agent left-hander Carlos Rodon on Thursday. The deal include a full no-trade clause. Even after adding starters Sean Manaea and Ross Stripling, the Giants reportedly were still trying to re-sign Rodon. However, the Yankees always seemed like the favorites to land the back-to-back […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Remains Out Thursday

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) remained out of practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Stevenson was injured in Monday night's win over the Arizona Cardinals and is in danger of sitting out this Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders. Meanwhile, Damien Harris (thigh), who has missed the last […]

Chase Claypool Trending In The Wrong Direction

Chicago Bears wide receiver Chase Claypool (knee) missed his second straight practice of the week on Thursday. Claypool is now in danger of missing the Week 15 game against the Philadelphia Eagles after coming off the team's bye in Week 14. He'll need to put in some practice time on Friday to avoid being ruled […]

Jakobi Meyers Downgraded To DNP Thursday

Updating a previous post, New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (concussion) did not practice on Thursday. It was previously reported that he was a limited participant. Meyers was limited on Wednesday, so this is a mid-week downgrade, which usually isn't a good sign. The 26-year-old sat out of the Monday night win over the […]

Josh Jacobs Limited Again In Thursday's Practice

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (hand, quadriceps) remained a limited participant in Thursday's practice. Jacobs picked up a hand injury in last Thursday's loss to the Los Angeles Rams and looked to be in a good deal of pain, but the fact that he hasn't missed any practice time this week suggests he'll […]

Tee Higgins, Tyler Boyd Limited Again Thursday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receivers Tee Higgins (hamstring) and Tyler Boyd (finger) were both listed as limited in practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Higgins aggravated a hamstring injury during pre-game warmups in Week 14 and ended up playing just one offensive snap, while Boyd dislocated his finger early in the contest […]

Brandon Crawford Set To Switch Positions

San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford has played 1,525 career games at shortstop in his career, but he's been informed that he'll be moving from the 6 after the team signed Carlos Correa to a 13-year, $350 million deal this week. The four-time Gold Glover has become the greatest shortstop in Giants history, but he […]

Phillies Interested In Seth Lugo As A Reliever

The Philadelphia Phillies are showing interest in free-agent right-hander Seth Lugo, but likely as a relief pitcher. Lugo prefers to start and has received a lot of interest this offseason for a rotation spot, with the San Diego Padres, Los Angeles Dodgers and Washington Nationals among his other suitors. The 33-year-old veteran was very solid […]

Rafael Devers Extension Is Boston's Top Priority

The Boston Red Sox's No. 1 priority this offseason is giving third baseman Rafael Devers a long-term contract extension, according to sources. "They have to give him whatever he wants," one baseball executive said. "Can they really let him go, too?" The Red Sox attempted to re-sign shortstop Xander Bogaerts this offseason, but he ended […]

Trevor Story Expected To Start At Shortstop In 2023

With shortstop Xander Bogaerts now in San Diego, Boston Red Sox infielder Trevor Story is the current favorite to start at the 6 to open the 2023 season. However, an outside addition can't be discounted, and the Red Sox are reportedly very serious in signing free-agent shortstop Dansby Swanson, which would in turn keep Story […]

Red Sox Designate Jeter Downs For Assignment

To make room on the Boston Red Sox's 40-man roster after the signing of outfielder Masataka Yoshida, the team designated infielder Jeter Downs for assignment on Thursday. Once a top prospect that was acquired in the blockbuster trade that sent outfielder Mookie Betts to the Los Angeles Dodgers, Downs' stock has taken a major hit. […]

Red Sox Seriously Considering Dansby Swanson

The Boston Red Sox appear to be seriously considering star free-agent shortstop Dansby Swanson now. Bringing Swanson aboard would allow them to keep Trevor Story at second base. Swanson's free-agent market is in very good shape, with the Chicago Cubs, Los Angeles Dodgers and the Atlanta Braves among the other teams interested. Boston made a […]

Diamondbacks Agree With Scott McGough

The Arizona Diamondbacks and free-agent right-hander Scott McGough agreed on a two-year deal on Thursday that includes a mutual option for the 2025 season. In a corresponding move, Tyler Gilbert was designated for assignment. McGough pitched overseas in Nippon Professional Baseball in Japan in 2022 and posted a strong 2.35 ERA in 53 2/3 innings […]

Adam Frazier Heading To Baltimore

The Baltimore Orioles agreed to a one-year, $8 million deal with free-agent second baseman Adam Frazier on Thursday. Frazier had one of his worst years in the big leagues with the Seattle Mariners last year, slashing .238/.301/.311 with only three home runs, 42 RBI, 61 runs scored and a career-high 11 stolen bases in 602 […]

Brian Robinson Jr., Antonio Gibson Limited Again

Washington Commanders running backs Brian Robinson Jr. (quadriceps) and Antonio Gibson (foot) were both limited in practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Robinson and Gibson are both a little banged up coming out of their bye week, but they should both be good to go in Week 15 against the New […]

Lamar Jackson Officially Ruled Out

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) didn't practice all week and has officially been ruled out for Week 15 against the Cleveland Browns on Saturday. It will be Jackson's second straight absence due to a knee sprain suffered in Week 13. It remains to be seen if the 25-year-old dual-threat signal-caller will be able to […]

Mike White Has No Doubts He'll Play In Week 15

New York Jets quarterback Mike White (ribs) said there's no doubt in his mind that he will play in Week 15 against the Detroit Lions. White left last week's loss to the Buffalo Bills multiple times after taking shots to his ribs and was even evaluated at the hospital after the game. But he has […]
