George Pickens Has Been A Decoy

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie wide receiver George Pickens said he was running free in the secondary in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers "probably 90 percent" of the time. But the Steelers have used Pickens nothing more than a decoy so far through two weeks in one of the worst passing offenses so far. He has […]

Chiefs Plan To Get Skyy Moore More Involved

Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy said about rookie wide receiver Skyy Moore: "Moving forward, I guarantee you'll see more than two snaps." Moore only played two offensive snaps in the Week 2 win over the Los Angeles Chargers after playing 19 percent of the snaps in Week 1 while securing his only target […]

Zach Wilson Will Play When Ready

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson (knee) won't make his season debut in Week 3 against the Cincinnati Bengals, but he has a chance to be cleared in Week 4 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Michael Gallup Likely To Be Eased In

Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy indicated that the team will likely ease wide receiver Michael Gallup (knee) into action if he makes his season debut in Week 3 against the New York Giants on Monday night.

Rondale Moore Working On The Side

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore (hamstring) was seen working on the side in the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday. Moore missed Wednesday's practice and doesn't particularly look close to making his season debut in Week 3 against the Los Angeles Rams. He'll have a chance to return to practice on […]

James Conner Returns To Practice Thursday

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (ankle) was seen at Thursday's practice after he didn't practice on Wednesday. The Cardinals are calling Conner day-to-day, and his return to practice on Thursday is good news that he'll have a chance to play in Week 3 against the Los Angeles Rams. He's the team's clear lead back […]

Chris Godwin, Julio Jones Miss Another Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receivers Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee) still aren't at practice on Thursday. Neither played last week either, and with Mike Evans suspended for Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers, the Bucs and quarterback Tom Brady could be down to Breshad Perriman, Russell Gage and Scotty Miller as their […]

Ramon Laureano Expected To Miss Rest Of The Year

Oakland Athletics center fielder Ramon Laureano (hamstring) is expected to miss the rest of the season after being placed on the 10-day injured list last Saturday with a right hamstring strain. "I'm kind of sure it's going to be a season-ending (injury)," manager Mark Kotsay said. Still, Laureano will begin a rehab program in the […]

Matt Thaiss Not Starting Thursday

Los Angeles Angels catcher Matt Thaiss is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Texas Rangers and a left-handed starter. Thaiss has gone hitless in eight at-bats in his last three games, so it's time for the Angels to try someone new behind the dish. He's hitting just .222 (10-for-45) with two homers, […]

Eugenio Suarez Starting To Swing

Seattle Mariners third baseman Eugenio Suarez (finger), who was put on the injured list on Saturday with a fractured right index finger, has started taking light swings again with both a softer ball and regular baseballs.

Blake Snell Fantastic Against The Cardinals

San Diego Padres left-hander Blake Snell was fantastic in his outing on Wednesday against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Brendan Rodgers Still Out Thursday

Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday against the San Francisco Giants. Rodgers is dealing with a hamstring injury and was last in the lineup on Sunday. There's a chance he'll be back in the lineup this weekend against the San Diego Padres, though, since his MRI […]

Stephen Vogt To Retire After The Season

Oakland Athletics catcher Stephen Vogt announced that he will retire from professional baseball after this season. Vogt will retire a 10-year veteran (six seasons with the A's) in which he was a two-time All-Star. The 37-year-old played for the A's, Rays, Diamondbacks, Giants, Braves and Brewers during his career. Vogt currently has a .239/.302/.406 slash […]

C.J. Cron Out Against Giants

Colorado Rockies first baseman C.J. Cron (hand) is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the San Francisco Giants. Cron was hit in the hand by a pitch on Wednesday and is dealing with a left hand contusion, so he'll sit out for at least one game. The right-handed power hitter is batting .238 […]

Shohei Ohtani Not Starting Thursday

Los Angeles Angels designated hitter Shohei Ohtani is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Texas Rangers. It looks to be just a normal day of rest for the 28-year-old two-way superstar. In 16 games this month, Ohtani has gone 16-for-61 (.262) with four home runs, seven RBI and nine runs scored. He's […]

Treylon Burks Limited With Ankle Injury

Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Treylon Burks (ankle) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Burks' injury doesn't sound overly serious, so barring a setback later this week, he should be able to suit up in Week 3 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Through his first two NFL games, the 22-year-old first-rounder has […]

Hunter Renfrow Absent On Wednesday

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (concussion) was not seen at practice on Wednesday after suffering a concussion in the Week 2 overtime loss to the Arizona Cardinals.

Isaiah Likely On The Week 3 Injury Report

Baltimore Ravens rookie tight end Isaiah Likely (groin) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday.

Devin Duvernay Sits Out With Concussion

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Devin Duvernay (concussion) missed Wednesday's practice after suffering a concussion in the Week 2 loss to the Miami Dolphins. James Proche II (groin) was a limited participant. Duvernay had four catches for 54 yards and two touchdowns in the season opener, but he caught two passes for 42 yards last weekend […]

J.K. Dobbins Puts In A Full Practice Wednesday

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. Dobbins was able to practice in full all of last week, but the Ravens took the cautious approach and held him out of the Week 2 loss to the Miami Dolphins. The 23-year-old is getting closer to making his season […]

Jameis Winston Gets In Limited Practice

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston (ankle, back) was listed as a limited practice participant for Wednesday's session.

Before the Week 2 loss against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a report surfaced that Winston was playing through […]

Alvin Kamara Limited On Wednesday

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ribs) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Kamara was inactive in the Week 2 loss to the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but it's a good sign that he was at least limited in the first practice session this week. The Saints' coaching staff will probably […]

Russell Gage, Breshad Perriman Limited Wednesday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receivers Russell Gage (hamstring), Breshad Perriman (knee) and Scotty Miller (calf) were all limited in practice on Wednesday. Mike Evans is suspended for Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers, while both Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee) aren't locks to return after sitting out in Week 2, so Gage, […]

Leonard Fournette Limited To Begin The Week

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Fournette has been bothered by a minor hamstring injury early this year, but he managed to play 87 percent of the offensive snaps in the Week 2 win over the New Orleans Saints, carrying the ball 24 times […]

Chris Godwin Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (hamstring) didn't practice on Wednesday. Godwin strained his hamstring in the season opener and didn't play in the Week 2 win over the New Orleans Saints. He's off to a bad start so far this week, but he has two more chances to return to the practice field, […]

Dawson Knox Misses Practice With Foot Injury

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox (foot) was added to the injury report this week due to a foot injury, and he was unable to practice on Wednesday.

Cal Raleigh Returns Against A's

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh (thumb) is back behind the dish and is hitting sixth on Wednesday against the Oakland Athletics and right-hander James Kaprielian.

Brandon Marsh Out With Bruised Knee

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh (knee) is out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Toronto Blue Jays due to a bruised left knee.

Yandy Diaz Dealing With Sore Shoulder

Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash acknowledged that infielder Yandy Diaz (shoulder) is dealing with a sore left shoulder, which is part of the reason he's been out of the lineup the last two days.
