Yusei Kikuchi Becomes A Free Agent

Left-handed starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi informed the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday that he has declined his player option, which makes him a free agent heading into 2022. The Mariners also announced that they won't pick up the option on third baseman Kyle Seager. Kikuchi struggled in the second half of 2021 after going 6-4 with […]

Trevor Bauer Won't Opt Out Of His Contract

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Trevor Bauer will not opt out of his historic contract. The right-hander has $64 million left over two more years, and a decision to opt out now would have resulted in lengthy deferrals. Bauer also has the option to opt out after the 2022 season, and he'd take a $15 […]

Tucker Barnhart Traded To The Tigers

The Detroit Tigers acquired catcher Tucker Barnhart from the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday in exchange for infield prospect Nick Quintana, according to sources. The Gold Glove catcher will fill a key area of need for the Tigers in 2022. Jake Rogers (elbow) is expected to miss most of next year following Tommy John surgery, and […]

Buster Posey To Announce Retirement Thursday

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey, a seven-time All-Star, will announce his retirement on Thursday, according to sources. The 34-year-old will walk into the sunset after a decorated 12-year career that saw him win the 2010 National League Rookie of the Year, the 2012 NL MVP, four Silver Slugger awards, one Gold Glove and an […]

Montez Sweat Could Miss A Month With Fractured Jaw

Washington Football Team defensive end Montez Sweat (jaw) suffered a fractured jaw in the Week 8 loss to the Denver Broncos and could miss as much as a month, according to sources. The 25-year-old is expected to avoid surgery for the non-displaced fracture, but it will be a big blow to a Washington defense that […]

Packers Expected To Sign Blake Bortles

Veteran quarterback Blake Bortles flew to Green Bay on Wednesday with the expectation that he will sign with the Packers practice squad and be eligible for the 53-man roster this Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to a source.

Rex Burkhead, Chris Conley Limited Wednesday

Houston Texans running back Rex Burkhead (hip) and wide receiver Chris Conley (calf) were both limited in practice on Wednesday.

Robert Woods Rests Foot Injury Wednesday

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods (foot) took the day off of practice on Wednesday while tending to a foot injury. Woods still has two days to get back onto the practice field ahead of a Sunday night matchup with the Tennessee Titans in Week 8. The 29-year-old hasn't been quarterback Matthew Stafford's favorite […]

Matthew Stafford Misses Practice Wednesday

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford (back) was listed as a non-participant in practice on Wednesday due to a back injury. It sounds as though the Rams are just taking it easy on Stafford and most of the veterans on the team early in the week leading up to a Week 9 date against the […]

CeeDee Lamb Dealing With Ankle Injury

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (ankle) is on the Week 9 injury report and was limited in practice on Wednesday with an ankle injury. Tight end Blake Jarwin (hip) also missed practice. It's something to watch, but we're not too concerned about the 22-year-old's status for a Week 9 meeting with the Denver Broncos. […]

Dawson Knox, Cole Beasley Absent Wednesday

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox (hand) and wide receiver Cole Beasley (ribs) both missed practice on Wednesday. Knox is improving after having surgery on his hand, but he's not ready to return to practice and is unlikely to play in Week 9 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Tommy Sweeney has seen more playing time in […]

Taysom Hill Limited At Wednesday's Practice

New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill (concussion) was a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Hill suffered a concussion in Week 5 and has missed the team's last two games, but he's on track to return in Week 9 against the Atlanta Falcons and figures to take over under center after Jameis Winston (knee) suffered a […]

Justin Herbert On The Week 9 Injury Report

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (hand) was listed on the Week 9 injury report with a right hand injury. He was limited in practice on Wednesday. Running back Justin Jackson (quadriceps) is also on the injury report after not practicing. For Herbert, it's an injury that was initially suffered in Week 3, but at […]

Jalen Reagor Absent For Practice Wednesday

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jalen Reagor (ankle) did not take the practice field on Wednesday after getting injured in the Week 8 blowout win over the Detroit Lions. Reagor is expected to return and play in Week 9 against the Los Angeles Chargers, but he'll need to return to practice later in the week. Reagor, […]

Latavius Murray, Sammy Watkins Miss Practice Wednesday

Baltimore Ravens running back Latavius Murray (ankle) and wide receiver Sammy Watkins (thigh) were not at practice on Wednesday. It's a bad sign coming off their bye week. Murray hasn't seen the field since getting injured in Week 6, while Watkins has been out since Week 5. They'll both need to get in some practice […]

Kadarius Toney Puts In Limited Practice

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Kadarius Toney (thumb) was able to practice on a limited basis on Wednesday. Toney played through an ankle injury in the Monday night loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, but he also injured his thumb in the process. The injury shouldn't keep the 22-year-old from playing in Week 9 […]

Kenny Golladay Doesn't Practice Wednesday

New York Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay (knee) officially missed the team's practice session on Wednesday. Golladay was on the field stretching with his teammates before the walkthrough, but he didn't actually get any work in. The 28-year-old has been a huge bust in his first season with New York and hasn't been able to […]

Josh Jacobs Enters The Week Healthy

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (chest), who suffered a chest injury in the Week 7 win over the Philadelphia Eagles, is not on the injury report for Week 9. It appears that the team's bye in Week 8 did Jacobs a world of good. Injuries have kept the 23-year-old from really hitting his […]

Darren Waller Not On Week 9 Injury Report

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (ankle) isn't listed on the team's Week 9 injury report coming off the bye week. Waller was a late addition to the team's Week 7 injury report and ended up missing the win over the Philadelphia Eagles. The 29-year-old should go back to being the team's leading target […]

Carlos Hyde Dealing With Calf Issue

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Carlos Hyde (calf) was just a limited practice participant on Wednesday. It's a new injury for Hyde, but it doesn't seem serious enough to keep him out this upcoming weekend against the Buffalo Bills. And with lead back James Robinson (heel) questionable to play after suffering an injury in Week 8, […]

James Robinson Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson (heel) was a non-participant at practice on Wednesday after he was injured in the Week 8 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The good news is that the Jaguars don't think the injury is serious, but Robinson could be questionable for this weekend's game against the Buffalo Bills. The 23-year-old […]

Calvin Ridley Not At Practice Wednesday

As expected, Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley wasn't at the team's practice on Wednesday while he remains away from the team indefinitely due to undisclosed personal reasons. Ridley announced on Sunday that he was stepping away from football indefinitely, which is a huge blow to the Falcons offense and fantasy managers. Since we have […]

Corey Davis Doubtful, Tevin Coleman Ruled Out For Thursday

New York Jets wide receiver Corey Davis (hip) is listed as doubtful for the second straight week, while running back Tevin Coleman (hamstring) has been ruled out for his third straight game on Thursday night against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 8. Neither player got on the practice field on the short week. Davis looks […]

Donovan Peoples-Jones Returns To Practice

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones (groin) returned to practice on Wednesday in a limited fashion after missing the team's last two games. It's good timing with Odell Beckham Jr. away from the team indefinitely, but Peoples-Jones still won't be a lock to return to action in Week 9 against the Cincinnati Bengals. The 22-year-old […]

Jarvis Landry Missing From Practice Wednesday

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry (knee) did not participate in practice on Wednesday. Landry continues to be bothered by a knee injury, but he played in last week's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers and missed only six offensive snaps on his way to hauling in five of 10 targets for 65 yards in Week […]

Browns, Odell Beckham Jr. Headed For A Divorce?

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski told his players that wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. is essentially not on the team right now and that he has been told to stay home. The two sides could reach some sort of financial resolution to end his time in Cleveland, but as of now, the Browns aren't […]

Elijah Mitchell Doesn't Practice Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Elijah Mitchell (ribs) was held out of Wednesday's practice. Mitchell's status must be monitored for the rest of the week. If he is unable to play this weekend against the Arizona Cardinals, JaMycal Hasty and rookie Trey Sermon would be asked to take on much bigger roles in the […]

Deebo Samuel Expected To Play This Sunday

The San Francisco 49ers will continue to manage wide receiver Deebo Samuel (calf) and left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) this week, and both players were held out of practice on Wednesday. Head coach Kyle Shanahan expects Samuel to play in Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals, while The Athletic's David Lombardi also expects Williams to […]

Kyler Murray Should Be Fine For Week 9

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (ankle) and head coach Kliff Kingsbury think he'll be fine to play this Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers, even if he doesn't practice at all during the week. Murray said his left ankle feels "good" despite not practicing on Wednesday. "I think I'll be good to go on Sunday […]

Saquon Barkley On COVID-19 List Despite Negative Test

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley was retested for COVID-19 after initially testing positive, and his test on Wednesday came back negative. However, the Giants officially placed Barkley and defensive back Xavier McKinney on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday. The 24-year-old was already set to miss practice on Wednesday due to a low ankle […]
