Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) has officially been ruled out for Week 6 against the Minnesota Vikings.

Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen Good To Go

Minnesota Vikings wide receivers Justin Jefferson (ankle) and Adam Thielen (foot) were both taken off the final injury report for Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers and are good to go on Sunday.

Dalvin Cook Taken Off Final Injury Report

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (ankle) was removed from the final injury report for Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers. Cook put in a full practice on Thursday and was trending in the right direction after sitting out in Week 5. The 26-year-old has missed two of the last three games and had a […]

Terry McLaurin Tweaks Hamstring, Now Questionable For Week 6

Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin (hamstring) didn't practice on Friday due to a hamstring injury and is now listed as questionable to play against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 6.

Trevon Diggs To Be Game-Time Decision

Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs (ankle) will be a game-time decision in Week 6 against the New England Patriots, while left tackle Tyron Smith (neck) had a "favorable" MRI exam on Thursday.

Nick Chubb Ruled Out For Week 6

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb (calf) missed practice all week and has officially been ruled out for Week 6 against the Arizona Cardinals. Kareem Hunt (wrist) missed two practices this week before returning on Friday, but he may draw a questionable tag for this weekend. Cleveland's backfield is clearly hurting, but Hunt would have […]

Joe Mixon In Line For Full Workload

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (ankle) is expected to receive a full workload in Week 6 against the Detroit Lions, according to head coach Zac Taylor. Mixon took the day off in practice on Thursday, but he's getting closer to 100 percent after being limited in Week 5. The 25-year-old ceded 15 touches to […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown Building Rapport With Jared Goff

Detroit Lions rookie wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has 13 catches for 135 yards in the last two games and continues to build chemistry with quarterback Jared Goff. The Lions have had their fair share of injuries on offense, but they have also made a conscious effort to get the fourth-rounder more involved after he […]

Lamar Jackson Returns To Practice Friday

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (illness) returned to practice on Friday. Jackson gave fantasy managers a little scare on Thursday when he wasn't seen at practice, but he was dealing with a non-COVID-19-related illness and is on track to play in the Week 6 showdown with the Los Angeles Chargers. The 24-year-old could draw a […]

Chicago Bears running back Damien Williams, who was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday, tested positive for the virus, according to a source.

Bengals Claim Tre Flowers Off Waivers

The Cincinnati Bengals claimed cornerback Tre Flowers off waivers from the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday. Flowers requested his release after being demoted from a starting role early this season in Seattle. The former fifth-round pick in 2018 will provide valuable depth and experience for the Bengals secondary. Flowers had 212 tackles (172 solo), three interceptions, […]

Deon Yelder Brought Up From Practice Squad

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers elevated tight end Deon Yelder from the practice squad to the active roster for Thursday night's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Bucs already have Cameron Brate and O.J. Howard, but Yelder will provide some more depth at the position with Rob Gronkowski (lung, ribs) set to miss his third straight […]

T.Y. Hilton Contemplated Retirement

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (neck), who remains on Injured Reserve with a neck injury, said he contemplated retirement over the last few months. He decided against it after talking with former quarterback Andrew Luck, and Hilton has returned to practice the last few days. However, the 31-year-old pass-catcher has pumped the brakes on […]

Damien Harris Back At Practice

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (ribs) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session. The Patriots announced that Harris' injury wasn't serious on Monday, so it's not a huge surprise that he's on track to play in Week 6 against the Dallas Cowboys. But even if the 24-year-old plays this […]

Allen Robinson II Absent Again Thursday

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson II (ankle) is missing his second straight day of practice on Thursday. Robinson is questionable to play this weekend against the division-rival Green Bay Packers, but a limited practice on Friday would put him on the right side of questionable. The 28-year-old has pretty much been an afterthought in […]

Mike Williams Not Practicing Again Thursday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (knee) is missing his second straight day of practice on Thursday. Williams is now looking very questionable for the Week 6 showdown against the Baltimore Ravens. The No. 1 fantasy wideout through five weeks will need at least a limited practice on Friday to ease everyone's concerns about […]

Dalvin Cook, Alexander Mattison Both Upgraded Thursday

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (ankle) returned to a full practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Cook missed the Week 5 win over the Detroit Lions, but it looks like he'll be back this Sunday against the Carolina Panthers.

Denver Broncos head coach Vic Fangio said that running back Melvin Gordon III (hip) will return to a limited practice participant on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday with a new hip ailment.

Jamaal Williams Downgraded Thursday

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams (hip, illness) missed practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Williams is now dealing with an illness, but it doesn't appear related to COVID-19.

A.J. Brown, Julio Jones Practicing In Full

Tennessee Titans wide receivers A.J. Brown (hamstring) and Julio Jones (hamstring) were both full participants in practice on Thursday. It's more notable for Jones, who has missed the last two games.

DeAndre Hopkins Out Again With Illness

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (illness) remained out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday with a non-COVID-19-related illness. It's concerning that Hopkins has missed two straight practices this week, but as long as he can return to practice Friday, he'll still have a good shot at playing in Week 6 against […]

Adam Thielen Gets In Some Work Thursday

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (foot) ran some routes at the start of practice on Thursday before walking off for injury rehab. It doesn't sound like Thielen did much, but at least he was on the practice field for a little bit. Justin Jefferson (ankle) was limited and said he expects to play in […]

Khalil Herbert Could Have A Huge Role In Week 6

Chicago Bears rookie running back Khalil Herbert could be in line for heavy usage in the Week 6 game against the Green Bay Packers after the Bears put Damien Williams on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday. David Montgomery (knee) remains on Injured Reserve. Herbert, who had 18 carries for 75 yards in the Week 5 […]

Bears Place Damien Williams On COVID-19 List

The Chicago Bears placed running back Damien Williams on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday.

It's unclear if Williams tested positive for […]

Antonio Gibson Not Limited By Shin Injury

Washington Football Team offensive coordinator Scott Turner said running back Antonio Gibson (shin) has not been limited by a hairline fracture in his shin. "No. He's good. He's not limited.

Lamar Jackson Not Spotted At Practice Thursday

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was not spotted at the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday.

The 24-year-old superstar put on […]

Christian McCaffrey Not At Practice Thursday

There was no sign of Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) at the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday. McCaffrey has been limited in the last four practices as he recovers from his hamstring strain, so this isn't a good sign as he hopes to return in Week 6 against the […]

Justin Jefferson Expects To Play Sunday

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson (ankle), who missed practice on Wednesday, said he will be limited on Thursday and expects to play in Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers.
