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." London was able to practice on Monday, but they'll see how things progress throughout the week and how much he's able to do. […]

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. 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." Jones is leading both in the locker […]

Dawson Knox Reaches Four-Year Extension With Bills

The Buffalo Bills agreed to a four-year, $53.6 million contract extension with tight end Dawson Knox on Wednesday, according to sources. The deal includes $31 million guaranteed and makes him one of the highest-paid tight ends in the league. Knox set career-highs in 2021 with 49 catches for 587 yards and nine touchdowns in the […]

Eagles Not Worried About Miles Sanders

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said his level of concern about running back Miles Sanders (hamstring) is "not high." Sirianni said that every player, including Sanders, will have some level of participation in practice on Wednesday. Sanders was able to return to practice last week, so barring some sort of setback, he should be […]

Michael Thomas Still On Track For Week 1

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. Thomas is over the ankle issues that caused him to miss all of last season, but a lingering hamstring injury […]

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. The Jets already announced veteran Joe Flacco as their starter for the Week 1 regular season opener, and he'll presumably start at least the first three games with […]

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. Robertson tossed a scoreless ninth frame while allowing one hit, walking two and striking out one. It wasn't the most pristine outing for the 37-year-old veteran, […]

Ian Kennedy Blows Save Against Padres

Arizona Diamondbacks closer Ian Kennedy blew another save chance in the 6-5 loss to the San Diego Padres on Tuesday night. Kennedy allowed two earned runs on two hits while walking two and striking out none in two-thirds of an inning to blow his sixth save of the season. It was also the 37-year-old right-handed […]

Max Muncy Hits Two Homers Against Giants

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy went off in the 6-3 win over the division-rival San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night. He went 3-for-4 with two home runs, a double, three RBI and three runs scored to do most of the damage for the Blue. It was a welcomed performance from the 32-year-old, who […]

Aaron Nola Racks Up 10 K's In No-Decision

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola reached the 200-strikeout mark on Tuesday in a no-decision against the Miami Marlins on Tuesday. In 6 2/3 innings of work, Nola allowed one earned run on four hits while striking out 10 and walking only two. The outing was the 29-year-old's 16th quality start of the season, and […]

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 […]

Max Scherzer Going On Injured List

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 […]

Darren Waller Says He's Ready For Week 1

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. Waller returned to practice last week after dealing with a hamstring issue in training camp. The 29-year-old was also angling for a contract extension this summer, which was part […]

Wade Miley Activated And Starting Tuesday

The Chicago Cubs activated left-hander Wade Miley (shoulder) from the injured list on Tuesday and designated pitcher Luke Farrell for assignment in a corresponding move. Miley is returning to the team's starting rotation and will start on Tuesday against the Cincinnati Reds. The 35-year-old veteran southpaw has made only four starts this year, but he's […]

Cubs Place Willson Contreras On Injured List

The Chicago Cubs placed catcher Willson Contreras (ankle) on the 10-day injured list with a left ankle sprain on Tuesday and reinstated Michael Hermosillo from the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move. The Cubs also designated Nicholas Padilla for assignment. Contreras' injured list stint is retroactive to Sept. 3. The All-Star backstop missed the […]

Anthony Rizzo Heading For Injured List

New York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo (back, head) will be placed on the injured list, according to skipper Aaron Boone. First baseman Ronald Guzman will be added to the active roster in a corresponding move on Wednesday. Rizzo received an epidural injection for his back injury last week, and he's been experiencing headaches ever […]

Zack Wheeler Plays Catch Tuesday

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zack Wheeler (forearm) played a little catch on Tuesday. Wheeler was pulled from his originally scheduled start on Tuesday against the Miami Marlins with renewed soreness in his right forearm. 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. Greene threw scoreless innings in his first rehab outing last Thursday and he recovered well enough to make another start early this week. 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. India was injured and had to leave the second game of a doubleheader on Sunday, but he was able to heal up during the team's off day on Monday. […]

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. Garcia will immediately return to the starting lineup on Tuesday against Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola, as he's starting in right field and hitting cleanup. 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. Chirinos has Tommy John surgery in August of 2020 and hasn't pitched in the big leagues since. In three different minor league stops during his rehab […]

Drew Rasmussen Scratched On Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Drew Rasmussen was scratched from his scheduled start on Tuesday against the Boston Red Sox and placed on the paternity list. With Rasmussen leaving the team for a few days, JT Chargois will step in as the opener on Tuesday against Boston, but he won't have much fantasy appeal as […]
