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.

Christian Watson Sidelined Again Thursday

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

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 […]
