Limited Practice For Jack Doyle Thursday

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle (knee) did not take the field for practice on Wednesday, but he returned to a limited session on Thursday. It puts him on track to play in a Week 13 tilt against the Houston Texans. Doyle has been trending up in recent weeks with 17 targets, 12 catches, 142 […]

Auden Tate, Mike Thomas Out Again Thursday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receivers Auden Tate (calf) and Mike Thomas (illness) both missed practice again on Thursday. Tate has been out since Week 7 and had been dealing with a thigh injury before the calf issue cropped up. In any event, he appears unlikely to return in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Thomas […]

Kyle Rudolph Back At Practice Thursday

New York Giants tight end Kyle Rudolph (ankle) was back to a limited practice session on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Tight end Kaden Smith (knee) missed another practice and is unlikely to play in Week 13 against the Miami Dolphins. Rudolph missed the Week 12 win over the Philadelphia Eagles but could be […]

John Ross Out Sick Again Thursday

New York Giants wide receiver John Ross (illness) missed another day of practice on Thursday with a non-COVID-19-related illness. Ross may need to get in a practice session on Friday in order to have a shot at playing in Week 13 against the Miami Dolphins. Sterling Shepard (quadriceps) and Kadarius Toney (oblique, quadriceps) could be […]

Damien Williams On Track To Miss Another Game

Chicago Bears running back Damien Williams (calf) missed his second straight practice of the week on Thursday. Williams hasn't been active for the last three games and looks headed for his fourth straight in Week 13 against the Arizona Cardinals unless he can return to the practice field on Friday. Even if the 29-year-old is […]

Justin Fields Limited Again Thursday

Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Justin Fields (ribs) was limited once again in practice on Thursday. Fields is battling through fractured ribs that he suffered in Week 12, and the injury kept him out of the Thanksgiving win last Thursday over the Detroit Lions. But the 22-year-old is trending towards a return this weekend against the […]

Cole Kmet Gets In A Limited Practice

After not practicing on Wednesday, Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet (groin) was able to practice on a limited basis on Thursday. Kmet isn't out of the woods just yet, but his return to practice on Thursday is a good sign for his availability on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. The 22-year-old had his best […]

Allen Robinson II, Marquise Goodwin Miss Another Practice

Chicago Bears wide receivers Allen Robinson II (hamstring) and Marquise Goodwin (foot, ribs) both missed their second practice of the week on Thursday and are on the wrong track towards returning in Week 13 against the Arizona Cardinals. Robinson has missed the last two games with the team's bye sandwiched in between, while Goodwin missed […]

DeMarcus Lawrence Activated From Injured Reserve

Dallas Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence (foot) has been activated from Injured Reserve, as expected, and will be available on Thursday night against the New Orleans Saints. Lawrence has missed the last 10 games due to a foot fracture that he suffered in the season opener, so it's unrealistic to expect him to play a […]

Antonio Brown Suspended Three Games

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown has been suspended without pay for the next three games for misrepresenting his vaccination status under the league's COVID-19 protocols. Brown has accepted the discipline and has waived his right to appeal. Defensive back Mike Edwards also received the same suspension. Brown hasn't appeared in a game since […]

Nick Martinez Technically Still A Free Agent

Right-hander Nick Martinez's four-year, $20 million deal with the San Diego Padres didn't quite make it through before the deadline on Wednesday night, so he technically remains a free agent with the sport's lockout beginning on Thursday. However, there's no reason to believe that the two sides won't finalize the agreement after a new Collective […]

Cubs Re-Sign Michael Hermosillo Before Lockout Begins

The Chicago Cubs re-signed outfielder Michael Hermosillo to a one-year, $600,000 major league deal on Wednesday night before MLB entered a lockout on Thursday. The 26-year-old was non-tendered on Wednesday before the Cubs decided to re-sign him to a new deal. Hermosillo dealt with several injuries that slowed him down last season, but he managed […]

Johan Camargo Signs With Phillies

The Philadelphia Phillies signed infielder Johan Camargo to a one-year, $1.4 million deal on Wednesday night before MLB entered a lockout on Thursday. The deal includes $100,000 in incentives. Camargo became a free agent when the Atlanta Braves didn't tender him a contract for 2022. Right-hander Adonis Medina was designated for assignment to clear a […]

Garrett Bolles Activated From COVID-19 List

The Denver Broncos activated left tackle Garrett Bolles off the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday. The team's starting left tackle has also been out since Week 9 with an ankle injury. It's great timing for his return with backup offensive tackle Calvin Anderson (ankle, knee) heading to Injured Reserve after getting injured in the Week 12 […]

Devin Duvernay Back On The Practice Field

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Devin Duvernay (thigh) was back on the practice field on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session. Duvernay's thigh injury doesn't appear to be serious enough to keep him from playing in a big divisional contest this Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 24-year-old has primarily served as Baltimore's kickoff and punt returner, […]

Kyler Murray, DeAndre Hopkins Both Expected To Play

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (ankle) and wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) are both expected to make their returns in Week 13 against the Chicago Bears this Sunday, barring any setbacks, according to sources. Murray and Hopkins both have not played since they suffered injuries in Week 8, so there could be a rust factor […]

Chris Conley Out Sick Again Thursday

Houston Texans wide receiver Chris Conley (illness) is out with a non-COVID-19-related illness for the second straight day on Thursday. He joins Brandin Cooks and running back David Johnson as players dealing with illness this week. Danny Amendola (knee) could miss up to four weeks with a knee injury he suffered in last week's loss […]

David Johnson Absent From Another Practice

Houston Texans running back David Johnson (illness, thigh) remains out of practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. There's a non-COVID-19-related illness going around the Texans locker room this week, with Johnson and wide receivers Brandin Cooks and Chris Conley also missing both practices. Also dealing with a thigh issue, Johnson will […]

Brandin Cooks Missing Again Thursday

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks (illness) remains out of practice again on Thursday with a non-COVID-19-related illness. Cooks might need to get in a practice session on Friday in order to play in Week 13 against the Indianapolis Colts. Danny Amendola (knee) could miss up to four weeks with a knee injury he suffered […]

DeSean Jackson Not Doing Individual Drills Thursday

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver DeSean Jackson (calf), who was limited in practice on Wednesday with a calf injury, was not on the field on Thursday for individual drills. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport suggests that Jackson's calf injury isn't very serious, so the Raiders could just be giving him a breather before Friday's practice. But […]

No Sign Of Darren Waller Thursday

There was no sign of Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (knee) at practice on Thursday. Waller has missed the team's first two practices of the week and was described as week-to-week by interim head coach Rich Bisaccia earlier this week, so Waller's fantasy managers should already be planning to be without him in […]

D'Andre Swift Not Expected To Play This Week

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (shoulder), who has already missed two practices this week, isn't expected to play in Week 13 against the Minnesota Vikings and is feeling like a long shot for Week 14 as well. Swift fell hard on his right shoulder with a defender on him during the Thanksgiving game last […]

J.J. Watt Has A Realistic Chance Of Returning

Arizona Cardinals defensive end J.J. Watt (shoulder) has resumed conditioning after tearing the labrum and rotator cuff in his shoulder, and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said on the Pat McAfee show that it's possible that Watt returns before the Super Bowl to help the Cardinals on a playoff run. The 32-year-old had what was believed […]

Jordan Howard Looking Unlikely For Week 13

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard (knee) missed another day of practice on Thursday and has yet to practice this week after missing the Week 12 loss to the New York Giants. A multi-week absence was never out of the question when Howard was injured in Week 11, so fantasy managers shouldn't have been expecting […]

No Boston Scott At Practice Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott (illness) missed his second straight practice of the week on Thursday with a non-COVID-19-related illness. A second straight practice has put Scott's status up in the air for the Week 13 game against the New York Jets. And with Jordan Howard (knee) unlikely to return this Sunday, Miles Sanders […]

Corey Davis Not Practicing Again Thursday

New York Jets wide receiver Corey Davis (groin) was absent from practice again on Thursday. Davis said on Wednesday that he's feeling better than he did last week, but that hasn't manifested itself yet on the practice field. With Davis missing last week's win over the Houston Texans, he's looking very questionable to play in […]

Seahawks Don't Think Russell Wilson Needs Rest

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that he doesn't think quarterback Russell Wilson needs more rest but more repetitions. "He's ready to go. He doesn't need to be rested. He's not tired," Carroll said. Wilson underwent surgery to fix a ruptured tendon in his finger and hasn't been the same since his return from […]

Jordan Lyles Agrees With Orioles

The Baltimore Orioles and right-hander Jordan Lyles agreed to a one-year deal worth $7 million on Wednesday night, pending a physical. However, the deal is unlikely to become official until the new Collective Bargaining Agreement is completed. Lyles' deal could be worth $17 million if his 2023 option is picked up. The 31-year-old had a […]

Melvin Gordon III 50-50 To Play Sunday Night

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III (hip, shoulder) is 50-50 to play on Sunday night against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs, according to head coach Vic Fangio. Gordon injured his hip on his first carry of the game in the Week 12 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, but he returned immediately and finished […]

Justin Verlander's Astros Deal Not Official

Right-hander Justin Verlander's $50 million, two-year deal with the Houston Astros never was announced and presumably is not official. That means that Verlander and the Astros have to wait to finalize their new deal until a new Collective Bargaining Agreement is done. The league is officially in a lockout as of Thursday, meaning that no […]
