D'Andre Swift On Track To Return In Week 17

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (shoulder) put in his second full practice of the week on Thursday. Head coach Dan Campbell said earlier this week that he expected Swift to return in Week 17 against the Seattle Seahawks, and Swift's two full practices so far backs up that statement. The 22-year-old suffered a shoulder […]

Another Missed Practice For Jared Goff

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff (knee) is trending towards his second straight missed game after missing another day of practice on Thursday. Goff has yet to practice this week after missing last week's game due to COVID-19. Unless he gets back on the practice field on Friday, it'll likely be Tim Boyle leading the Detroit […]

Mark Ingram II Pops Up On Injury Report

New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram II (knee) was added to the Week 17 injury report on Thursday when he practiced on a limited basis. Ingram has dealt with knee issues this year -- he missed the Thanksgiving game with a knee injury -- and the fact that he was merely limited on Thursday […]

Tre'Quan Smith, Ty Montgomery Miss Practice Thursday

New Orleans Saints wide receivers Tre'Quan Smith (chest) and Ty Montgomery (back) both missed practice on Thursday. It was Smith's second straight day on the sidelines, while Montgomery was added to the injury report on Thursday. Two straight missed practices for Smith doesn't bode well for his chances of playing on Sunday against the Carolina […]

Drew Lock Puts In Full Practice, Teddy Bridgewater Still Out

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, while Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) missed his second straight day. Lock was limited in Wednesday's practice, but he's good to go for Week 17 against the Los Angeles Chargers and is fully expected to make his second straight start with Bridgewater still in […]

Tyre Phillips Goes On Injured Reserve

The Baltimore Ravens placed offensive tackle/guard Tyre Phillips (knee) on Injured Reserve on Thursday, which will likely end his season. Last year's third-round pick has started 13 games for the Ravens, but staying healthy has been a problem for him, as he played in only eight games in his rookie season and five games this […]

Curtis Samuel Remains Limited Thursday

Washington Football Team wide receiver Curtis Samuel (hamstring) remained limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Samuel has missed the last two games with his hamstring injury, and it's unknown if he'll be back on the field this Sunday against the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles. Even if Samuel returns, he's absolutely not to […]

Jalen Hurts Bumps Up To Full Practice

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (ankle) got in a full practice on Thursday after he was limited on Wednesday. Rookie running back Kenneth Gainwell (ankle) was also a full participant Thursday. Hurts appears to slowly be getting past his injured ankle after missing only one game. The 23-year-old threw for 296 yards, one touchdown and […]

Another Missed Practice For James O'Shaughnessy

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end James O'Shaughnessy (hip) missed another practice on Thursday. O'Shaughnessy will likely have to return to the practice field on Friday in order to have a shot at playing in Week 17 against the New England Patriots. The Jaguars could have real issues at the tight end position this weekend, with Dan […]

Jack Doyle Misses Another Practice Thursday

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle (ankle, knee) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. If he isn't able to get back on the practice field on Friday, Doyle will likely be ruled out for the Week 17 game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Doyle played only 3% of the offensive snaps in […]

Marquise Goodwin Out Sick Thursday

Chicago Bears wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (illness) was added to the injury report on Thursday after he missed practice with an illness. Goodwin returned in Week 16 for the first time since Thanksgiving and caught two passes for 23 yards in the win over the Seattle Seahawks. The 31-year-old has not been on the fantasy […]

Justin Fields Remains Limited Thursday

Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Justin Fields (ankle) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Fields will probably be questionable on the final injury report for Week 17 against the New York Giants, and head coach Matt Nagy said Fields needs to be pretty healthy in order to play. In other words, […]

Jets Place Tevin Coleman On COVID-19 List

The New York Jets placed running back Tevin Coleman and cornerback Zane Lewis on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday. At this point in the week, it's unlikely that Coleman will be able to clear the league's protocols in order to play in Week 17 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It's great news for fantasy managers […]

Kalif Raymond Placed On COVID-19 List

The Detroit Lions placed wide receiver Kalif Raymond on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday. Raymond follows Josh Reynolds, who was placed on the list earlier this week, and the Lions also placed tight end Brock Wright on the COVID list this week. Raymond is now much more unlikely to clear the league's COVID protocols than […]

Zach Ertz Practicing In Full Ahead Of Week 17

Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz (hamstring) put in a full practice on Thursday after he was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday. Ertz has been listed on the injury report with a hamstring for several weeks, but he hasn't missed any time and will be available in Week 17 against the Dallas Cowboys. […]

Rondale Moore Returns To Practice

Arizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver Rondale Moore (ankle) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after he missed Wednesday's session. Moore is trending towards a return this Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys after he was inactive for the Christmas Day loss to the Indianapolis Colts last Saturday. The 21-year-old wideout will likely serve as the […]

James Conner Doesn't Practice Thursday

Updating a previous report, Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (heel) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. It was reported earlier on Thursday that Conner was taking part in the portion of practice open to the media, but he wasn't officially listed as practicing. Conner missed the Week 16 loss to the […]

Tyler Conklin Limited Thursday

Minnesota Vikings tight end Tyler Conklin (hamstring) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after he was held out on Wednesday. The return to practice puts Conklin in line to be able to suit up on Sunday night against the Green Bay Packers unless he suffers a setback on Friday. And with wide receiver Adam […]

Dalvin Cook Returns To Full Practice Thursday

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (illness) returned to a full practice on Thursday after he was limited in his first session on Wednesday since coming off the COVID-19 list. Cook was forced to miss the Week 16 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, but he'll be back for Sunday night's big matchup with the […]

A.J. Brown Held Out Of Practice Thursday

Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown (calf) was held out of practice on Thursday as more of a precautionary move than anything, and he's still on track to play on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins. Brown has dealt with some lower-body injury issues this year, mainly a hamstring that put him on Injured Reserve, so […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Missing Another Practice

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (thumb) is not in his practice attire during the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday and is off to the side talking to a team doctor. It looks like Garoppolo will miss his second practice of the week due to a Grade 3 sprain of his […]

Antonio Brown Misses Practice Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown (ankle) went from being limited in practice on Wednesday to no practice at all on Thursday. Mid-week downgrades on the practice report are usually a bad sign, but the Buccaneers could be resting the 33-year-old after he returned from a long layoff last week to catch 10 passes […]

Ben Roethlisberger Sits Out Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (pectoral, shoulder) did not take part in the team's first practice of the week on Thursday. Roethlisberger has been held out of early practices for most of the year, so there's really nothing to see here. Expect him to get back on the practice field in the next couple of […]

Pat Freiermuth Practicing In Full

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie tight end Pat Freiermuth (concussion) is practicing in full on Thursday, which means he's well on his way to clearing the league's concussion protocol and returning in Week 17 against the Cleveland Browns on Monday night. Freiermuth suffered a concussion in Week 15 and was held out in last week's loss to […]

Andrew Whitworth Back From COVID-19 List

The Los Angeles Rams activated left tackle Andrew Whitworth from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday. Whitworth landed on the COVID list on Christmas Day last Saturday and didn't play in the Week 16 win over the Minnesota Vikings. The 40-year-old veteran will be back this Sunday to face the Baltimore Ravens, which is good news […]

Gary Brightwell Lands On Injured Reserve

The New York Giants placed rookie running back Gary Brightwell (neck) and offensive tackle Matt Peart (knee) on Injured Reserve on Thursday. Offensive tackle Nate Solder was also activated off the Reserve/COVID-19 list. Brightwell injured his neck in Week 15 and was unable to return last week. With just two games left in the season, […]

Emmanuel Sanders Downgraded At Practice Thursday

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (knee) was a DNP at practice on Thursday after he was limited in Wednesday's session. Mid-week downgrades are never a good thing, so Sanders' status is suddenly up in the air for Week 17 against the Atlanta Falcons. The good news for Buffalo is that wideouts Cole Beasley and […]

Kyle Rudolph, Graham Gano Back At Practice Thursday

New York Giants tight end Kyle Rudolph (ankle) and kicker Graham Gano (illness) were both limited practice participants on Thursday after they weren't on the practice field on Wednesday. The return to practice suggests that both Rudolph and Gano will play in Week 17 against the Chicago Bears. However, neither player should be anywhere near […]

Saquon Barkley Back To A Limited Practice Thursday

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) was back to a limited practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Barkley continues to manage an ankle injury, but the Giants don't have any plans to shut him down for the final two games of the regular season. It's been a frustrating season for Barkley […]

Stephon Gilmore Misses Another Practice, Not Expected To Play

Carolina Panthers cornerback Stephon Gilmore (groin) missed a second straight day of practice on Thursday, and head coach Matt Rhule said on Wednesday that Gilmore isn't expected to play in Week 17 against the division-rival New Orleans Saints. It would be a big loss for Carolina's secondary, and their defense could be missing several other […]
