Dak Prescott Limited With Ankle Injury

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (ankle) was limited in Thursday's practice, but he told reporters it's nothing to be worried about.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Van Jefferson (knee) is likely to miss more than one game to kick off the 2022 regular season, according to a league source.

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (shin) was added to the Week 1 injury report with a shin injury on Thursday, but he was a full participant in practice.

Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz (calf) wasn't seen at Thursday's practice in the portion open to the media.

The […]

Updating a previous report, St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said that outfielder Tyler O'Neill (neck) woke up with a stiff neck on Thursday, which is why he was scratched from the starting lineup against the Washington Nationals.

Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Zach Eflin (knee) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Friday at Triple-A Lehigh Valley. He'll start the game but treat it like a relief appearance.

Shaquille Leonard A Full Participant In Practice

Indianapolis Colts linebacker Shaquille Leonard (back) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
