Alvarez will return to the DH role and swap spots with Aledmys Diaz, who served as the DH in the Game 1 […]

Darren Waller Misses Another Practice Thursday

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. It's not a good sign that Waller hasn't practiced coming out of the bye week, so fantasy managers should consider him very questionable to play in Week 7 against the Houston Texans at this point. He'll have a much better […]

Damien Harris Close To Returning

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (hamstring) was back to a full practice on Thursday, which is an indication that he's close to returning.

Cardinals Place Marquise Brown On Injured Reserve

The Arizona Cardinals placed wide receiver Marquise Brown (foot) and offensive lineman Justin Pugh (knee) on Injured Reserve on Thursday and activated offensive lineman Cody Ford from IR and elevated kicker Rodrigo Blankenship and running back Corey Clement from the practice squad to the active roster in corresponding moves. Brown will be out at least […]

Christian Watson Sidelined Again Thursday

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Christian Watson (hamstring) missed another day of practice on Thursday.

Veteran Randall Cobb (ankle) is also out for the foreseeable […]

Aaron Rodgers Back On The Practice Field

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (thumb) returned to a full practice on Thursday and appeared to have a similar tape job on his right thumb as last week.

Dak Prescott Says He's Playing In Week 7

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (thumb), who put in another full practice on Thursday, said he is starting in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions and won't wear a brace on his surgically repaired finger.

Another DNP For J.K. Dobbins

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) was unable to practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Dobbins' surgically repaired right knee tightened up on him in the Week 6 loss to the New York Giants, and he didn't play at all in the second half. With the 23-year-old not having practiced […]

Mark Andrews Misses Another Practice

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (knee) missed a second straight day of practice this week on Thursday. Andrews reportedly had a rest day on Wednesday, but some eyebrows have been raised now that he's still not back on the practice field ahead of a Week 7 meeting with the Cleveland Browns. If he doesn't […]

Andy Dalton Starting On Thursday Night

New Orleans Saints quarterback Andy Dalton is starting on Thursday night against the Arizona Cardinals, according to a source.

Indianapolis Colts running backs Jonathan Taylor (ankle), Nyheim Hines (concussion) and Deon Jackson (quadriceps) all practiced in full on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday.

Russell Wilson Limited In Practice Again Thursday

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson (hamstring) will be limited in practice once again on Thursday. Per head coach Nathaniel Hackett, Wilson threw the ball well in practice on Wednesday. The 33-year-old signal-caller tweaked his hamstring in Monday night's overtime loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, and he's also been dealing with a shoulder issue in […]

Tom Brady Not Planning To Retire During The Season

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady doesn't plan on retiring during the middle of the 2022 season. "No retirement in my future," Brady said. The 45-year-old is dealing with marital issues in his personal life, which has led to speculation that he might decide to hang up his cleats in the middle of the year. […]

Saquon Barkley Limited Again Thursday

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (shoulder) was limited in practice again on Thursday. Barkley initially injured his shoulder in Week 5, but he hasn't missed any time and should be just fine to play in Week 7 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 25-year-old has been carrying the Giants offense and fantasy managers through […]

Kadarius Toney, Kenny Golladay Miss Another Practice

New York Giants wide receivers Kadarius Toney (hamstring) and Kenny Golladay (knee) both missed practice again on Thursday. The Giants say they have no plans to put Toney on Injured Reserve, but he hasn't played since Week 2 and doesn't appear to be anywhere close to getting back on the field. The former first-rounder has […]

Broncos Preparing Brett Rypien Just In Case

Denver Broncos backup quarterback Brett Rypien took most of the walkthrough repetitions at practice on Wednesday, according to sources. It doesn't mean that Russell Wilson (hamstring) won't start in Week 7 against the New York Jets, it just means that the Broncos are getting Rypien ready just in case Wilson cannot go on Sunday. Rypien […]

Jonathan Taylor Feeling Good This Week

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) said he's feeling pretty good ahead of a Week 7 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. As for Week 6 when he missed his second straight game due to a sprained ankle, Taylor said it was his decision to sit out. "You just know your body," Taylor said. The […]

Jahan Dotson Aggravates Hamstring At Practice

Washington Commanders rookie wide receiver Jahan Dotson (hamstring) appeared to have aggravated his hamstring injury during practice on Thursday. He ran an over route and caught a pass from quarterback Taylor Heinicke but then tossed the ball to the ground in frustration. Dotson then slowly walked off the field with the team's head trainer. We'll […]

Nick Bosa Returns To Practice

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa (groin) returned to practice on Wednesday and was listed as a limited participant. Bosa missed the Week 6 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, but the fact that he was back at practice on a Wednesday is a good sign that he'll have a chance to return to action […]

Mac Jones Will Start When Healthy

The New England Patriots don't have any quarterback controversy. Mac Jones (ankle) will be the starter when he's healthy enough to return from a severe left high-ankle sprain, according to league officials with knowledge of the situation. And it could come as early as Monday night against the Chicago Bears. Fourth-round rookie Bailey Zappe has […]

Albert Okwuegbunam Drawing Trade Interest

NFL teams are interested in trade scenarios for Denver Broncos tight end Albert Okwuegbunam, according to league sources. The third-year Missouri alumni and fourth-rounder has just seven receptions for 50 yards this year, but he has 51 career catches for 501 yards and three touchdowns in three seasons. Okwuegbunam entered the year as an intriguing […]

Julio Jones Practicing Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Julio Jones (knee) was seen warming up with Chris Godwin before practice on Thursday. Jones was listed as a DNP for Wednesday's practice and he'll most likely be limited, at best, on Thursday's official report, but it's a sign of progress for the veteran wideout. The 33-year-old has missed the […]

Mac Jones Expects To Be Ready For Monday's Game

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones (ankle) expects to be available for the Week 7 game against the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football, according to sources.

Jesse Winker To Have Neck Surgery

Seattle Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto said that outfielder Jesse Winker (knee, neck) underwent surgery on his knee last week and is also scheduled to have surgery on his neck. Winker's 2022 season ended early right as the playoffs began in early October, and he was also apparently dealing with a knee injury that required […]

Jose Ramirez To Have Hand Surgery In The Coming Weeks

Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez (hand) is scheduled to undergo surgery on his right hand in the coming weeks. It was an option for Ramirez midway through the season, according to a source, but he would have missed substantial time and preferred to play through it. The 30-year-old initially suffered the injury in mid-June […]

Shaquille Leonard Returns To Practice Wednesday

Indianapolis Colts linebacker Shaquille Leonard (back, concussion, nose) returned to practice on Wednesday and was a limited participant. Leonard suffered a broken nose in Week 4 in his season debut and needed surgery, which required him to miss the team's last two games. The fact that he was limited early in the week is a […]
