George Kittle Day-To-Day With Groin Issue

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (groin) won't practice on Wednesday. Head coach Kyle Shanahan is calling it a day-to-day issue after Kittle did a little work on Monday.

Cameron Brate, Kyle Rudolph May Not Be Featured Much

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that the tight end production this year will be made up with the wide receivers and running backs without Rob Gronkowski in the picture. That's not good news for Cameron Brate, Kyle Rudolph or rookie Cade Otton. Brate figures to take over most of Gronk's production, especially […]

The Arizona Cardinals placed quarterback Colt McCoy (calf) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday and promoted Trace McSorley to the active roster from the practice squad in a corresponding move.

Washington Commanders tight end Logan Thomas (knee) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Thomas suffered a torn ACL tear last season and was working to return from it all offseason. He recently said that he hopes to return in Week 1 or 2, so he's not necessarily a lock to suit up […]

Brian Robinson Ditches His Crutches

Washington Commanders head coach Ron Rivera said that the swelling in rookie running back Brian Robinson's knee has gone down "an awful lot" and he's off crutches. Robinson was placed on the Non-Football Injury list after he was shot multiple times in an attempted robbery in D.C. last week. The 23-year-old will be forced to […]

Zach Ertz Back At Practice

Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz (calf) was back at practice on Wednesday.

For […]

Allen Lazard Won't Practice Wednesday

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that wide receiver Allen Lazard (undisclosed) won't practice on Wednesday after he "got stepped on last week."

Atlanta Falcons head coach Arthur Smith said that the team won't know rookie wide receiver Drake London's (knee) Week 1 status against the New Orleans Saints "until the end of the week."

Jaylen Waddle Limited In Practice

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (undisclosed) was back at practice on Wednesday and wasn't wearing a leg sleeve. Head coach Mike McDaniel called Waddle limited. Waddle is dealing with an undisclosed lower leg injury heading into Week 1's matchup against the New England Patriots on Sunday. Barring a setback in practice later this week, […]

James Robinson Back To 100 Percent Health

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said that running back James Robinson (Achilles) is 100 percent back from his torn Achilles. Pederson said Robinson's Week 1 workload against the Washington Commanders will depend on how he looks, but he isn't ruling out Robinson having a normal workload.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (hamstring) was present at the team's closed walk-through practice on Monday, another positive sign that he remains on track to play in Week 1 against the Atlanta Falcons.

Pessimism Surrounding Lamar Jackson's Extension Talks

There is a measure of pessimism around Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson's contract-extension negotiations with Week 1 of the regular season rapidly approaching this weekend.

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said it's likely that the earliest quarterback Zach Wilson (knee) will be available is Week 4 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
