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.

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.

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.

Hockenson now in Minnesota, there will be […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receivers Julio Jones (knee) and Russell Gage (hamstring) were both non-participants in Wednesday's practice.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said that wide receiver Joshua Palmer and Donald Parham Jr. are out of the league's concussion protocol.

Keenan Allen Won't Practice Wednesday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) will not practice on Wednesday and is listed as day-to-day, according to head coach Brandon Staley. "We are being careful with him.

Darren Waller, Mack Hollins Limited Wednesday

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) and wide receiver Mack Hollins (heel) were both listed as limited participants in practice on Wednesday. Waller hasn't played since Week 5 and has missed the team's last two contests. If he can return to a full practice later this week, he'll have a good shot at […]

Davante Adams Still Dealing With Illness

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams (illness), who had just one catch for three yards in the Week 8 loss to the New Orleans Saints after missing two practices last week with an illness, was limited in Wednesday's practice. Adams also played a season-low 72 percent of the offensive snaps in last week's shutout […]

Derrick Henry On The Week 9 Injury Report

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (foot) is listed on the Week 9 injury report and was given a limited tag in practice on Wednesday. Henry went off in the Week 8 win over the Houston Texans, carrying the ball 32 times for 219 yards and two touchdowns, so we have a feeling he'll be […]

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Van Jefferson (knee) will be limited in practice on Wednesday after making his season debut in the Week 8 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. In his first game of the year, Jefferson played 53 percent of the offensive snaps and wasn't targeted at all. Fantasy managers that have been […]

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks (wrist) is listed as questionable to face the undefeated Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday night to kick off Week 9 action.

Nico Collins Ruled Out For Thursday Night

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins (groin) has officially been ruled out for Thursday night's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Collins also missed the Week 8 loss to the Tennessee Titans, and the quick turnaround on a short week proved to be too much for him to return in Week 9. Brandin Cooks (wrist) is […]

Matt Ryan Won't Practice Again This Week

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Matt Ryan (shoulder) won't practice again this week due to his right shoulder injury. Injury issues aside, the Colts said last week that they have benched Ryan for the rest of the year in favor of Sam Ehlinger. It's highly likely that Ryan will be inactive for the Week 9 contest against […]

Rams Hope Cam Akers Will Play For Them Again

The Los Angeles Rams turned down multiple offers for running back Cam Akers before Tuesday's trade deadline and are now working with Akers' agent in hopes that he'll play for them again this season, according to sources.

Jahan Dotson Still Not Practicing

Washington Commanders rookie wide receiver Jahan Dotson (hamstring) remains out of practice on Wednesday.
