Justin Fields Off To A Good Start This Week

Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Justin Fields (ankle) put in a limited practice on Wednesday after he was inactive last week.

[…]

Graham Gano, Kyle Rudolph Out Wednesday

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (illness) and tight end Kyle Rudolph (ankle) both missed practice on Wednesday.

Gano has attempted just […]

It's been one thing after another for New York Giants rookie wide receiver Kadarius Toney (shoulder) in 2021, and he missed another practice on Wednesday with a shoulder injury.

The New Orleans Saints activated quarterbacks Taysom Hill and Trevor Siemian and linebacker Demario Davis from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday.
