Washington Nationals rookie right-hander Cade Cavalli (shoulder) has been cleared to throw and played catch on Wednesday, according to manager Dave Martinez.

Red Sox Not Rushing Nathan Eovaldi

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi (shoulder) is on track to throw another live batting practice session on Sunday, and he could still make a minor league rehab outing before he returns to Boston's rotation.

Leonard Fournette Dealing With Hamstring Injury

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) was listed as being a limited participant in practice on Wednesday.

Shaquille Leonard Back To Full Practice

Indianapolis Colts linebacker Shaquille Leonard (back) returned to a full practice on Wednesday, while cornerback Kenny Moore II (hip) was listed as limited.

D'Andre Swift Misses Practice With Ankle Injury

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday due to an ankle injury.

If you have Swift rostered, it's time to immediately run to the waiver wire […]

Najee Harris Gets In Limited Practice

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris (foot) was limited in practice on Wednesday after suffering a foot injury in the Week 1 overtime win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Harris said "it's good" and doesn't seem to be worried at all about missing Week 2 against the New England Patriots. However, head coach Mike Tomlin said […]

Boston Red Sox second baseman Trevor Story (heel) remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the division-rival New York Yankees.

Ian Anderson Suffers Strained Oblique

Atlanta Braves right-hander Ian Anderson (oblique) strained his left oblique while pitching for Triple-A Gwinnett on Sept. 8 and will be out at least a month. It basically rules out any chance that he could have returned to Atlanta's rotation for the end of the regular season and even possibly the postseason now. Anderson was […]

Shane McClanahan To Return Thursday

The Tampa Bay Rays are set to reinstate left-hander Shane McClanahan (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list to have him start on Thursday against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Cedric Mullins Getting A Breather Against Nats

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Washington Nationals and left-hander Patrick Corbin. Mullins is an everyday fantasy player, but he's struggled against southpaws this year, going 33-for-163 (.203) with three of his 14 home runs, 12 RBI and 44 strikeouts against them. With the 27-year-old getting […]

Justin Simmons To Miss Some Time

Denver Broncos All-Pro safety Justin Simmons (thigh) will miss "some time," according to head coach Nathaniel Hackett. Simmons finished the Week 1 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Monday with a thigh injury that he suffered in the second half. The 28-year-old is a huge part of Denver's defense, so this is a notable loss […]

Michael Gallup Unlikely To Play In Week 2

In all likelihood, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup (knee) will need at least another week before he makes his 2022 debut. Head coach Mike McCarthy said the hope is that Gallup can go from doing individual drills last week to "group stuff" this week. The 26-year-old has been making good progress after tearing his […]

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones (back) was present at practice on Wednesday.

J.K. Dobbins Looks Good In Practice

The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec thought Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) looked really good in the early portion of practice open to the media on Wednesday, and he was moving around and cutting well. Dobbins, who missed all of 2021 due to a torn ACL, was inactive in the Week 1 win against the […]

Mike Evans Dealing With Minor Calf Injury

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (calf) had his lower left leg taped during practice on Wednesday, but it's an injury that sounds relatively minor.

Alec Pierce In The Concussion Protocol

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich said that rookie wide receiver Alec Pierce (head) developed concussion symptoms after the tie in Week 1 to the Houston Texans and is now in the league's concussion protocol.

Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel isn't committing to left tackle Terron Armstead or right tackle Austin Jackson (ankle) playing in the Week 2 contest against the Baltimore Ravens after they both suffered injuries in the season-opening win over the New England Patriots. It's unknown what Armstead is dealing with, but he's played through multiple […]

Wan'Dale Robinson Not Practicing Wednesday

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that rookie wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) isn't practicing on Wednesday and is day-to-day. He's made progress after injuring his right knee in the Week 1 win over the Tennessee Titans. Daboll seemed to imply there was optimism about Robinson's health status, even if he's unable to […]

Michael Gallup Could Do Team Drills This Week

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup (knee) will be integrated into more practice work on Wednesday and "might do some group stuff" after only participating in individual drills last week, according to head coach Mike McCarthy. It will be the first team repetitions for Gallup since January before he tore his ACL. The 26-year-old was […]

Chris Godwin Not At Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (hamstring) and left tackle Donovan Smith (elbow) were not seen at practice on Wednesday. Godwin was actually active in the Week 1 win over the Dallas Cowboys after suffering an ACL tear late last season, but he quickly injured his hamstring after catching all three of his targets […]

Lions Sign Justin Jackson To Active Roster

The Detroit Lions signed running back Justin Jackson to their active roster on Wednesday. Jackson, who had eight carries for 44 yards while adding two catches for 39 yards in the preseason finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers, was on the team's practice squad during the Week 1 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
