Chuba Hubbard Plans To Play On Thursday Night

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard (ankle) plans to play on Thursday night against the Atlanta Falcons, barring a surprise, according to a source. Hubbard was listed as questionable for Week 10 despite practicing in full on Tuesday and Wednesday. You'll want to check back when inactives come out before Thursday's game, but in all […]

Matt Ryan Practices In Full Thursday

Updating a previous report, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Matt Ryan (shoulder) was a full participant in practice on Thursday and will be available to interim head coach Jeff Saturday on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders, if so desired. Ryan is recovering from a Grade 2 right shoulder sprain, but the Colts still plan on using […]

Deon Jackson Misses Another Practice

Indianapolis Colts running back Deon Jackson (knee) missed his second straight day of practice this week on Thursday. Jackson is trending towards missing the Week 10 contest against the Las Vegas Raiders. With Jonathan Taylor (ankle) on track to return this Sunday, Jackson won't have any relevance for fantasy lineups, even if he's active. If […]

Jonathan Taylor Practicing In Full

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) was a full participant in practice on Thursday, which is good news for his availability in Week 10 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Taylor missed the Week 9 loss to the New England Patriots and has now missed three total games due to the injury. It looks like […]

Jake Matthews Leaves Team For Personal Reasons

Atlanta Falcons left tackle Jake Matthews has headed back to Atlanta on Thursday for his wife's delivery of his first child. However, the hope is to have Matthews back in time for the Thursday night game against the Carolina Panthers. Matthews has been a key cog for Atlanta's four-headed rushing attack this year as well […]

Matt Ryan Back At Practice Thursday

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Matt Ryan (shoulder) is back at practice on Thursday. Ryan is dealing with a Grade 2 right shoulder sprain and was demoted from the starting role in favor of Sam Ehlinger a few weeks back. The Colts continue to say that Ehlinger will be their starter going forward, even in the wake […]

Jahan Dotson Limited In Thursday's Practice

Washington Commanders rookie wide receiver Jahan Dotson (hamstring) was officially listed as limited in Thursday's practice. It's a significant development for the 22-year-old, as it's his first practice since he aggravated his hamstring on Oct. 20. He hasn't played since Week 4, but he'll have a shot to return on Monday night against the undefeated […]

Mecole Hardman Won't Practice Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman (abdomen) will not practice on Thursday due to abdominal soreness. Hardman also missed practice on Wednesday, so his availability is highly in question for the Week 10 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 24-year-old has scored a touchdown in three straight games, so it would be a frustrating […]

Josh Reynolds Still Absent From Practice

Detroit Lions wide receiver Josh Reynolds (back) missed another day of practice on Thursday. Reynolds missed the Week 9 win over the Green Bay Packers, and he looks set for another absence in Week 10 against the Chicago Bears unless he can return to practice on Friday. In his absence last Sunday, Kalif Raymond and […]

Kyler Murray Back At Practice

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (hamstring) was seen at practice on Thursday in the portion open to the media. Murray was held out of practice on Wednesday, but his return on Thursday confirms he's not dealing with a serious injury leading up to the Week 10 matchup against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams. His hamstring […]

Jonathan Taylor Practicing Again Thursday

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) is practicing for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Taylor was held out for the third time this year due to his ankle injury in Week 9 but appears to be on track to return for the Week 10 tilt against the Las Vegas Raiders this […]

Raiders Put Hunter Renfrow On Injured Reserve

The Las Vegas Raiders are placing wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (oblique) on Injured Reserve on Thursday due to his oblique injury, according to a source. Both Renfrow and tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) have been put on IR on the same day, which opens up more opportunities for receiver Mack Hollins and Foster Moreau moving […]

Josh Allen Not Practicing Again Thursday

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (elbow) wasn't seen at practice on Thursday in the portion open to the media. It will be Allen's second straight missed practice after he suffered a UCL injury in the Week 9 loss to the New York Jets, putting his status firmly in doubt for this Sunday's game against the […]

Darren Waller Placed On Injured Reserve

The Las Vegas Raiders placed tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) on Injured Reserve on Thursday, according to a source. Waller aggravated his hamstring injury and the Raiders think this will give him four weeks to get healthy in order to finish the season strong. He won't be eligible to play in the next four games, […]

Giants Not Picking Up Evan Longoria's Option

As expected, the San Francisco Giants aren't picking up third baseman Evan Longoria's $13 million option for the 2023 season, making him a free agent. Instead, he'll receive a $5 million buyout. Dialogue remains open with the team, so a reunion is possible. Longoria is interested in seeing what free agency has to offer, though. […]

Mariners Showing Interest In Brandon Nimmo

The Seattle Mariners have expressed formal interest in free-agent outfielder Brandon Nimmo, according to sources. The Mariners are looking for a left-handed bat and improved on-base percentage, and Nimmo would bring both of those things to Seattle. Nimmo is a native of Wyoming and has posted a strong .385 on-base percentage in his seven MLB […]

Rangers Make Contact With Jacob deGrom, Carlos Rodon

The Texas Rangers are showing interest in the top of the free-agent pitching market and have made contact with the agents for Jacob deGrom, Carlos Rodon and Kodai Senga, according to sources. The Rangers are also expected to give left-hander Martin Perez the $19.65 million qualifying offer. Texas acquired right-hander Jake Odorizzi from the Atlanta […]

Mets Pick Up Carlos Carrasco's Option

The New York Mets are picking up starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco's $14 million option for the 2023 season, according to general manager Billy Eppler. The Mets need all the starting pitching help they can with Jacob deGrom, Chris Bassitt and Taijuan Walker all hitting free agency this offseason. Carrasco, 35, finished his second full season […]

Rays Decline Kevin Kiermaier's 2023 Option

The Tampa Bay Rays declined outfielder Kevin Kiermaier's $13 million option for the 2023 season on Thursday, making him a free agent. Kiermaier underwent season-ending hip surgery in August. The 32-year-old center fielder only managed to play in 63 games in 2022 and hit an underwhelming .228/.281/.369 with seven home runs, 22 RBI, 28 runs […]

Rangers Planning To Give Qualifying Offer To Martin Perez

The Texas Rangers are planning to give left-hander Martin Perez the $19.65 million qualifying offer by the deadline on Thursday. It makes sense after Perez had the best season of his career in 2022, going 12-8 with a career-low 2.89 ERA (3.26 FIP), a 1.26 WHIP, a career-high 169 strikeouts and 69 walks in 196 […]

Jose Ramirez Undergoes Successful Surgery

Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez (thumb) underwent successful right thumb surgery on Wednesday to fix the ulnar collateral ligament injury that he suffered in June. Ramirez is expected to resume baseball activity in six to eight weeks. The 30-year-old All-Star played through the injury, but his power production definitely took a dip in the […]

Justin Verlander Opts Out Of His Contract

Houston Astros starting pitcher Justin Verlander has opted out of his contract and has become a free agent. Verlander could have stayed in Houston for $25 million in 2023, but he should be able to get much more on a multi-year deal on the open market. The 39-year-old right-hander missed all of 2021 after having […]

Colts Sign Jake Funk, Cut Phillip Lindsay

The Indianapolis Colts signed running back Jake Funk to their practice squad on Thursday and released running back Phillip Lindsay from the practice squad in a corresponding move. In five games for the Los Angeles Rams this year, Funk saw one snap on offense. The former seventh-round pick in 2021 played in 10 games in […]

Brandin Cooks Participates In Thursday's Practice

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks (wrist) was taking part in practice on Thursday. He was present for Wednesday's session but didn't get any work in. Cooks was unhappy that he wasn't traded at the deadline last week and was held out of last Thursday's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles as a result. Despite the […]

Deebo Samuel Practices In Full Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers wide receivers Deebo Samuel (hamstring) and Jauan Jennings (hamstring) and fullback Kyle Juszczyk (finger) all practiced in full on Wednesday. Samuel missed Week 8 but had the bye to heal up in Week 9, so he appears to be on track to play in Week 10 against the Los Angeles Chargers on […]

Surgery On The Table For Blake Treinen

The Los Angeles Dodgers and relief pitcher Blake Treinen (shoulder) are discussing the best way to move forward with the shoulder injury that kept him out for most of the 2022 season. Surgery is among the options being discussed. Treinen made only three relief appearances in April before he injured his right shoulder, and he […]

Mets Make Mychal Givens A Free Agent

The New York Mets declined relief pitcher Mychal Givens' $3.5 million mutual option for the 2023 season on Wednesday, according to general manager Billy Eppler. Givens is now a free agent. The Mets acquired Givens from the Chicago Cubs at the trade deadline in early August, and he had a 4.79 ERA (4.22 FIP), a […]

Nick Anderson Outrighted By The Rays

The Tampa Bay Rays outrighted right-handed relief pitcher Nick Anderson on Wednesday, according to sources. Anderson is now on waivers and the other 29 teams can now add him to their major-league roster. If he clears waivers, he will remain in Tampa's minor-league system. Injuries have derailed Anderson's career since 2020. He pitched in just […]

Padres, Nick Martinez Discussing Contract Restructure

The San Diego Padres and right-hander Nick Martinez have discussed the possibility of restructuring his contract. It would be a surprise if Martinez didn't end up staying in 2023, but his playoff performance didn't hurt his potential free-agent market. The 32-year-old was solid in his first year for the Friars in a swing role, going […]

Dodgers Likely To Give Qualifying Offer To Tyler Anderson

There's a good chance that the Los Angeles Dodgers will extend the $19.65 million qualifying offer to All-Star left-hander Tyler Anderson, according to sources. Not many people expected Anderson, 32, to have a breakout season in 2022, but he did. The veteran southpaw went 15-5 with a 2.57 ERA (3.31 FIP), a 1.00 WHIP, 138 […]
