Emmanuel Sanders Could Return This Week

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (knee) was listed as limited in practice on Wednesday.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins (ribs) was listed on the Week 16 injury report after getting in a limited practice on Wednesday.

Adam Thielen Puts In Limited Work Wednesday

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (ankle) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday.

The 31-year-old was a game-time decision on Monday night […]

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Tajae Sharpe (foot) is considered day-to-day but will not practice on Wednesday.

The 26-year-old has been operating as the No. 2 […]

Josh Reynolds, Kalif Raymond Limited Wednesday

Detroit Lions wide receivers Josh Reynolds (thigh) and Kalif Raymond (shoulder) were both limited in practice on Wednesday.

[…]

Rondale Moore Absent Wednesday

Arizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver Rondale Moore (ankle), who underwent an MRI exam on his ankle on Monday, hasn't practiced yet this week.

James Conner Misses Practice Again Wednesday

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (heel) has yet to practice this week. The heel injury is something new for Conner, so he'll probably need to get back on the practice field on Thursday to have a chance at playing on Christmas Day against the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday. He's been one of the most […]

Tennessee Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan (back) and left guard Rodger Saffold (illness, shoulder) have both been ruled out for the Thursday night contest against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 16.

No Practice For Aaron Rodgers Wednesday

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (toe) missed the team's walkthrough practice on Wednesday. He was listed as DNP on Tuesday's estimated practice report. The future Hall of Famer didn't practice at all last week before dicing up the Baltimore Ravens banged-up secondary for three touchdowns in the Week 15 win. Rodgers is managing a […]

David Njoku Listed As Limited Wednesday

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) was added to the Week 16 injury report on Wednesday. The Browns didn't practice on Wednesday, but Njoku was estimated as a limited participant.

D'Onta Foreman Good To Go For Thursday

Tennessee Titans running back D'Onta Foreman (ankle) practiced in full the last two days and was removed from the final injury report for Thursday night's game against the San Francisco 49ers.

Ka'imi Fairbairn Lands On COVID-19 List

The Houston Texans placed kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn and linebacker Eric Wilson on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday. Fairbairn is vaccinated, so he'll have a chance to clear the protocols with a negative test to play on Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers. Wilson, on the other hand, is unvaccinated, so he'll be out in Week […]

Adam Trautman Goes On COVID-19 List

New Orleans Saints tight end Adam Trautman is on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, putting his availability for the Monday night game against the Miami Dolphins in question.

Jalen Guyton The Latest Chargers Player To Go On COVID List

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Jalen Guyton was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday. It's a tough break for a player peaking in 2021.

Josh Gordon Activated From COVID-19 List

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid confirmed that wide receiver Josh Gordon and linebacker Willie Gay Jr. have been activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list. Gordon was able to return to practice on Wednesday. The 30-year-old pass-catcher hasn't been fantasy relevant on a loaded Chiefs offense, but his status is notable this week with both […]

Harrison Butker Out For Week 16

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker, who tested positive for COVID-19 earlier in the week, is out on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers because he's unvaccinated, according to a source.

No Injury Designation For Julio Jones

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) doesn't carry an injury designation on the final report for Thursday's game against the San Francisco 49ers, so he will play in Week 16.

Denver Broncos head coach Vic Fangio said that quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) will not play on Sunday against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (shoulder) returned to practice on Wednesday for the first time since spraining his shoulder on Thanksgiving Day. Head coach Dan Campbell said Swift's status for Week 16 against the Atlanta Falcons remains up in the air, but it's a positive sign that Swift is being tested in practice this […]

Joe Mixon Feeling Good, Will Practice Wednesday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (ankle) will practice on Wednesday, and head coach Zac Taylor said he thinks Mixon is "feeling pretty good."
