Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said the team plans to use both running backs Darrell Henderson Jr. and Sony Michel on Tuesday against the Seattle Seahawks. "We'll use them both.

Larry Fitzgerald Not Considering A Return

Free-agent wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald never officially retired, but he said on a SiriusXM podcast that he's not considering a return to the NFL despite the fact that Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (knee) probably won't return until at least the NFC Championship, if the Cardinals even make it that deep into the postseason. […]

Chicago Bears wide receiver/kick returner Jakeem Grant Sr. (head) suffered a concussion in the first half of the Monday night game against the Minnesota Vikings and will not return.

Charvarius Ward Placed On COVID-19 List

The Kansas City Chiefs placed cornerback Charvarius Ward on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday. Ward had a season-high 10 tackles in last Thursday's overtime win over the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers, so KC's secondary will be missing a key member if Ward doesn't get cleared in time for a Week 16 matchup against the Pittsburgh […]

Justin Houston Placed On COVID-19 List

The Baltimore Ravens placed veteran outside linebacker Justin Houston on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday and activated veteran outside linebacker Pernell McPhee (knee) from Injured Reserve in a corresponding move.

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said he's "hoping" that defensive tackle Chris Jones, linebacker Willie Gay Jr. and wide receiver Josh Gordon are available for the Week 16 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

DK Metcalf Ready To Play Tuesday

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (back, foot) doesn't carry an injury designation for the Week 15 rescheduled game against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams on Tuesday. The same can also be said for wideouts Dee Eskridge (foot) and Freddie Swain (ankle), so all three receivers will be active this week. Although Rams lockdown cornerback […]

Not Looking Good For Ryan Griffin In Week 16

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said that tight end Ryan Griffin (knee) is dealing with a knee injury and isn't looking good for Week 16 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Rondale Moore Undergoes MRI Monday

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that rookie wide receiver Rondale Moore (ankle) and defensive tackle Jordan Phillips (knee) underwent MRI exams on Monday. In the first game with DeAndre Hopkins (knee) done for the rest of the regular season, Moore played only 20 snaps in the Week 15 loss to the Detroit Lions […]

Kadarius Toney Could Return To Practice Wednesday

New York Giants head coach Joe Judge is optimistic that rookie wide receiver Kadarius Toney (oblique) can return to practice on Wednesday once he clears the league's COVID-19 protocols. Toney's oblique injury is something that still needs to be monitored, but it sounds as though he'll have a chance to return for the final three […]

Takk McKinley Won't Return Monday Due To Injury

Cleveland Browns outside linebacker Takk McKinley (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Monday's Week 15 game against the Las Vegas Raiders with an ankle injury.

Robinson has been a huge disappointment this […]

Adam Thielen Officially Inactive Monday Night

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (ankle) is officially inactive on Monday night against the Chicago Bears. Thielen came into this one as a game-time decision, but the fact that he didn't practice all week made him unlikely to suit up. The veteran wideout suffered a high ankle sprain in Week 13 and will now […]

Giants Not Naming A Starting QB For Week 16

New York Giants head coach Joe Judge isn't declaring a starting quarterback for Week 16 against the Philadelphia Eagles.

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Elijah Mitchell (concussion, knee) is out of the league's concussion protocol, but whether he plays on Thursday against the Tennessee Titans will depend on his knee.

Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said he won't speculate on who the starting quarterback will be in Week 16 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers between Cam Newton and Sam Darnold (shoulder).

Injured Reserve is not being considered for Denver Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (concussion), according to head coach Vic Fangio.

Drew Lock Expected To Start In Week 16

The expectation is that Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock will start in Week 16 against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.
