Taylor Lewan Activated From COVID-19 List

The Tennessee Titans activated left tackle Taylor Lewan (back) from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday, and he was able to practice in full. Lewan was placed on the COVID list following last Thursday's win over the San Francisco 49ers, but he won't be required to miss a game under the league's new protocols. It's good […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Idle On Wednesday

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (shoulder) was unable to practice on Wednesday. Edwards-Helaire's injury isn't a long-term one, but he's reportedly fighting an uphill battle to play in Week 17 against the Cincinnati Bengals. His fantasy managers should consider him to be on the wrong side of questionable for Week 17 as of […]

Jakeem Grant Sr. Practicing In Full

Chicago Bears wide receiver Jakeem Grant Sr. (head) appears to have cleared the league's concussion protocol and was able to practice in full on Wednesday. Grant missed last week's game after suffering a concussion in Week 15, and as long as he avoids setbacks later in the week, he looks to be on track to […]

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. Andy Dalton (groin) also practiced in full, meaning that it's unlikely we'll see Nick Foles make a second straight start despite leading the team to a comeback win over the Seattle Seahawks in Week 16. […]

Graham Gano, Kyle Rudolph Out Wednesday

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (illness) and tight end Kyle Rudolph (ankle) both missed practice on Wednesday. With COVID-19 outbreaks ravaging teams throughout the league, Gano's status is worth monitoring ahead of Week 17 against the Chicago Bears, although he shouldn't be started in fantasy in this terrible Giants offense. Gano has attempted just […]

Kadarius Toney Now Dealing With Shoulder Injury

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. Toney has also missed time recently due to COVID-19, although he returned last week to catch four of nine targets for 28 yards in the loss […]

Saquon Barkley Misses Practice Wednesday

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. Barkley is just being rested ahead of the Week 17 contest against the Chicago Bears, and the Giants don't have any plans of shutting him down for the final two regular season games. Expect the 24-year-old to return to practice on Thursday […]

Emmanuel Sanders Limited Wednesday

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (knee) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Sanders returned in Week 16 against the New England Patriots after a one-week absence, but he didn't do much (two catches for 20 yards), and that was with both Cole Beasley and Gabriel Davis on the COVID-19 list. Isaiah McKenzie was the […]

Jerick McKinnon Designated To Return From Injured Reserve

The Kansas City Chiefs designated running back Jerick McKinnon (hamstring) to return from Injured Reserve on Wednesday. The Chiefs now have 21 days to officially activate McKinnon from IR. The 29-year-old has been out since injuring his hamstring in Week 11, but he could be an option for the Chiefs backfield in the postseason. Clyde […]

Packers Activate Marquez Valdes-Scantling From COVID-19 List

The Green Bay Packers activated wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday.

With MVS out in Week 16, Allen Lazard took advantage with […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Removed From COVID-19 List

New England Patriots rookie running back Rhamondre Stevenson was removed from the Reserve/COVID-19 list and was back at practice on Wednesday. Stevenson missed the Week 16 loss to the Buffalo Bills, and Damien Harris took advantage by posting his second straight 100-yard rushing day while adding three touchdowns on the ground. It remains to be […]

Phillip Dorsett's Season Is Over

The Houston Texans placed wide receiver Phillip Dorsett (foot) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday, ruling him out for the final two games of the regular season.

The New Orleans Saints activated tight end Adam Trautman from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday, along with linebacker Kwon Alexander, linebacker Kaden Ellis, safety JT Gray, right tackle Jordan Mills, right guard James Carpenter and defensive tackle Christian Ringo.

Adrian Peterson Lands On Injured Reserve

The Seattle Seahawks placed running back Adrian Peterson (back) on the practice squad Injured Reserve on Wednesday. Peterson managed to play in just one game for the Seahawks back in Week 13, rushing the rock 11 times for 16 yards and one touchdown. The 36-year-old future Hall of Fame really showed his age this year […]

Aaron Rodgers Hasn't Ruled Out Retirement After This Year

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers isn't ruling out retirement after this season. "I'm just enjoying this season for this season, and playing next year will definitely be in the thought process," Rodgers said. It's possible that Rodgers could hang up his cleats and walk off into the sunset if he wins his second Super […]

Taysom Hill Activated From COVID-19 List

The New Orleans Saints activated quarterbacks Taysom Hill and Trevor Siemian and linebacker Demario Davis from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday. Rookie Ian Book was forced to make his first career NFL start on Monday night against the Miami Dolphins and predictably face-planted against a really good Dolphins defense. Hill's return as the starting QB […]

Hayden Hurst Goes On COVID-19 List

The Atlanta Falcons placed tight end Hayden Hurst, defensive end Jonathan Bullard, safety Jaylinn Hawkins and offensive tackle Willie Beavers on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday. It remains to be seen if Hurst or any of the others will be able to pass through the league's new COVID-19 protocols in time to play on Sunday […]

Joey Bosa Rejoins The Chargers

Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa has come off the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday. Bosa was inactive for last week's surprising loss to the Houston Texans and was in line to miss another game under the league's old COVID-19 protocols because he is unvaccinated. However, with new league rules implemented this week, Bosa has […]

Jalen Guyton Back From The COVID-19 List

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Jalen Guyton was removed from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday and will be available to play in Week 17 against the division-rival Denver Broncos.

Harrison Butker Back From COVID-19 List

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker, cornerback Rashad Fenton, safety Armani Watts and punter Tommy Townsend were all activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday, according to head coach Andy Reid.

Tyreek Hill Was Gassed In Return From COVID-19

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes said that wide receiver Tyreek Hill was "exhausted out there" in last Sunday's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers after being activated from the COVID-19 list just one day prior. "He was just trying to do what he could to contribute," Mahomes said. Hill played a season-low 42% of the […]

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff (knee) said that he's still dealing with a knee injury that he suffered at the end of the first half in the Week 15 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Goff was out in Week 16 due to COVID-19, but he's off the list and missed practice on Wednesday with his […]

Ezekiel Elliott Feeling Much Better

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (knee) said his injured knee is feeling much better and thinks he'll be close to 100 percent by the start of the playoffs.

Rondale Moore Expected To Be A Game-Time Decision

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that rookie wide receiver Rondale Moore (ankle) is likely to be a game-time decision for Week 17 against the Dallas Cowboys. Moore missed his first game of the season in last week's loss to the Indianapolis Colts, and he's truly up in the air to return this weekend. […]

James Conner Likely To Be A Game-Time Decision

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that running back James Conner (heel) is likely to be a game-time decision for the second straight week this Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys.

Tim Patrick Headed To COVID-19 List

The Denver Broncos are expected to place wide receiver Tim Patrick and other players on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday, according to a source.

Justin Houston Activated From COVID-19 List

The Baltimore Ravens activated linebackers Justin Houston and Chris Board and safety Geno Stone from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday. Houston missed the team's Week 16 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, but he'll be back for an important Week 17 meeting against the Los Angeles Rams as the Ravens try to keep their playoff hopes […]
