Is Derrick Henry Coming Back This Year? When Is He Expected To Return?

It seems like almost a full season since we've seen Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry on the football field. The stud RB broke the fifth metatarsal in his foot on Nov. 2 and has been out since Week 8. The Titans offense just hasn't been the same without the All-Pro in their backfield. Fantasy […]

Eagles Sign Kerryon Johnson To Practice Squad

The Philadelphia Eagles signed running back Kerryon Johnson and offensive lineman Luke Juriga to their practice squad on Tuesday and released kicker Matt McCrane from the practice squad in a corresponding move.

Patriots Place Brian Hoyer On COVID-19 List

The New England Patriots placed veteran quarterback Brian Hoyer on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday. Hopefully rookie Mac Jones wasn't around Hoyer leading up to his positive test this week.

Preston Williams Lands On COVID-19 List

The Miami Dolphins put wide receiver Preston Williams, defensive lineman Adam Butler, defensive tackle John Jenkins and safety Brandon Jones on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday.

Jacob Hollister Goes On COVID-19 List

The Jacksonville Jaguars placed tight end Jacob Hollister, defensive tackle Jay Tufele and linebacker Damien Wilson on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday.

The Detroit Lions placed rookie tight end Brock Wright on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday. Team also put linebacker Josh Woods on Injured Reserve and activated defensive end Jashon Cornell from the Non-Football Injury list. In three games since T.J.

The Seattle Seahawks activated tight end Will Dissly and right tackle Brandon Shell from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday.

In one more game played than […]

Packers Put Marcedes Lewis On COVID-19 List

The Green Bay Packers placed tight end Marcedes Lewis and linebacker Oren Burks on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday. There's a chance they could both clear the league's COVID protocols by Sunday, but it remains to be seen if that will happen.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson II said he lost 10 pounds when he tested positive for COVID-19 and is still trying to feel normal. Robinson was activated from the COVID list on Monday, but he missed the team's last two games and could be limited this week during practice. As far as Week 17 […]

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz's status for the Week 17 game against the Las Vegas Raiders remains to be determined, pending updated COVID-19 protocols. If the NFL's new protocols say that a player only needs to quarantine for five days after a positive test, Wentz could be cleared by Saturday. It was reported earlier on […]

Carson Wentz Lands On COVID-19 List

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday. Since Wentz is unvaccinated, he will miss the Week 17 game against the Las Vegas Raiders. The former Philadelphia Eagle hasn't been a QB1 for fantasy managers in Indy's run-first offense, but his absence in an important AFC matchup this weekend will […]

Russell Wilson's Struggles Not Related To Injury

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll noted that quarterback Russell Wilson isn't dealing with the after-effects of his finger injury and doesn't believe that his recent struggles are related to offensive coordinator Shane Waldron's system "at all." "But the results are a little bit different," Carroll said, "and the accuracy thing, maybe there's a couple […]

Trey Lance Showing Improvement

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that rookie quarterback Trey Lance has made progress while running the scout team in practices, with Shanahan pointing to improved decision-making and accuracy, among other things.

Cardinals Get Center Rodney Hudson Back

The Arizona Cardinals activated starting center Rodney Hudson from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday.

"When you look at the […]

Markus Golden Placed On COVID-19 List

The Arizona Cardinals placed linebacker Markus Golden and reserve offensive lineman Sean Harlow on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday. Golden has 11 sacks on the season, so if he's unavailable to play in a huge Week 17 game against the Dallas Cowboys, the Cardinals defense will be missing one of their key pass-rushers. If Golden […]

Amari Rodgers Goes On COVID-19 List

The Green Bay Packers placed rookie wide receiver/kick returner Amari Rodgers, guard Ben Braden, linebacker Tipa Galeai, linebacker Ty Summers and defensive lineman R.J.

Mekhi Sargent Claimed Off Waivers By Jaguars

The Jacksonville Jaguars claimed running back Mekhi Sargent and linebacker Jamir Jones off waivers from the Los Angeles Rams on Monday. The Jaguars need more running back depth after James Robison tore his Achilles in Week 16. Dare Ogunbowale is the favorite to take over lead-back duties for the final two games of the regular […]

Terron Armstead Remains Out Against Dolphins

New Orleans Saints offensive tackle Terron Armstead (knee) is officially inactive for Monday Night Football against the Miami Dolphins.

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said there's a possibility that running back Cam Akers (Achilles) plays in Week 17 against the Baltimore Ravens.

Darrell Henderson Jr. Placed On Injured Reserve

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that running back Darrell Henderson Jr. (knee) is going on Injured Reserve due to an MCL injury that he suffered in the Week 16 win over the Minnesota Vikings. Henderson had just one carry for 17 yards on Sunday before leaving the game, and he saw only […]

Raiders Hoping Darren Waller Can Practice Wednesday

Las Vegas Raiders interim head coach Rich Bisaccia said he's hoping that tight end Darren Waller (back, knee) will be able to get on the practice field on Wednesday, but it's still a touch-and-go situation. Waller has been out since getting injured on Thanksgiving, and he's not a lock to return in Week 17 against […]

Azeez Al-Shaair Expected To Miss Final Two Games

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair (knee) suffered a knee sprain in last week's loss to the Tennessee Titans and is expected to miss at least the final two games of the regular season.
