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." It remains to be seen if this is an injury that has the potential to keep Lazard sidelined or limited for the Week 1 regular season opener on Sunday against […]

Drake London's Status Won't Be Known Until Later In The 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.

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. The 24-year-old will no doubt be active this […]

Julio Jones Back To His Old Self?

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that wide receiver Julio Jones was out of shape when he first reported to the team in training camp, but Bowles said that the veteran pass-catcher has "kind of gotten to the point where he's returned to his old self."

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said his level of concern about running back Miles Sanders (hamstring) is "not high."

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. It appears more likely that, barring a last-minute shift in talks, Jackson will play the 2022 season under the one remaining year left on his current deal, according to one […]

Zach Wilson Won't Be Ready Until Week 4

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.

Joe Flacco To Start In Week 1

New York Jets quarterback Joe Flacco will start in Week 1 on Sunday against his former team, the Baltimore Ravens, according to sources. Regular starter Zach Wilson (knee) is progressing well, but he's not quite ready to return. With Wilson not available until Week 4, the Jets will roll with the 37-year-old Flacco until then. […]

Ke'Bryan Hayes Sitting In Game 1

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes is not in the starting lineup for Game 1 of a doubleheader against the New York Mets on Wednesday. It will be a normal day of rest for the 25-year-old third baseman, but expect to see him return for the nightcap. In his return to the lineup on Tuesday, […]

David Robertson Picks Up A Win Tuesday

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher David Robertson was credited with the win on Tuesday in the 3-2 victory over the Miami Marlins. It was his fourth win of the season.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy went off in the 6-3 win over the division-rival San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night.

Tyler Wells Activated And Starting Wednesday

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Tyler Wells (oblique) is being activated from the 15-day injured list and will start on Wednesday against the Toronto Blue Jays. Wells only threw 31 pitches in his minor league rehab start, so there's a good chance he won't have a long leash against a tough opponent in his first start […]

Starling Marte Out In Game 1 Wednesday

New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte (hand) is not in the starting lineup for Game 1 of a doubleheader on Wednesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Marte was hit by a pitch on his right hand on Tuesday and is undergoing tests, but skipper Buck Showalter said, "so far, so good." It appears that the 33-year-old […]

New York Mets starting pitcher Max Scherzer (oblique) is going on the 15-day injured list and won't make his next scheduled start on Friday against the Miami Marlins. Scherzer had to be pulled early from his last start on Saturday with what manager Buck Showalter called fatigue in his left side. The good news is […]

Kenneth Walker III Misses Another Practice

Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Kenneth Walker III (hernia) missed another practice on Tuesday. Walker has a little extra time with the team's Week 1 regular season opener against the Denver Broncos not until Monday night, but the 21-year-old doesn't appear to be on the right track to play. Walker did some running and catching […]

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) plans to play in the Week 1 regular season opener on Sunday against the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers.

New York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo (back, head) will be placed on the injured list, according to skipper Aaron Boone.

Zack Wheeler Plays Catch Tuesday

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zack Wheeler (forearm) played a little catch on Tuesday.

If he doesn't have any setbacks after throwing on Tuesday, he could move to a bullpen session later this week. The […]

Hunter Greene Making Another Rehab Start Tuesday

Cincinnati Reds rookie right-hander Hunter Greene (shoulder) is making another minor league rehab start on Tuesday for Triple-A Louisville.

Look for the 23-year-old to build his pitch count up even more after […]

Jonathan India Back In Leadoff Spot

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India (knee) is back at second base and is batting leadoff on Tuesday against the Chicago Cubs and left-hander Wade Miley.

Avisail Garcia Activated From Injured List

The Miami Marlins activated outfielder Avisail Garcia (hamstring) from the injured list on Tuesday and optioned Peyton Burdick to Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move.

The 31-year-old veteran will be […]

Jon Berti Returns Against Phillies

Miami Marlins second baseman Jon Berti (hip) is back at second base and is hitting leadoff on Tuesday against Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola. Berti missed almost a full week with a hip injury, but he'll return to face the Phils on Tuesday. The 32-year-old has mostly been useful in fantasy for his speed, as […]

Yonny Chirinos Activated From Injured List

The Tampa Bay Rays activated right-hander Yonny Chirinos (elbow) from the 60-day injured list on Tuesday and placed right-hander Drew Rasmussen on the paternity list in a corresponding move.
