J.J. Watt Very Limited In Return To Practice

Arizona Cardinals pass-rusher J.J. Watt (shoulder) was "very limited" in his return to practice on Thursday, which was expected, according to head coach Kliff Kingsbury. The 32-year-old All-Pro defensive end was designated to return from Injured Reserve earlier this week, but it remains to be seen if he'll actually be activated from IR in order […]

Chase Edmonds Says He's Good To Go For Wild-Card Game

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (ribs, toe) said he'll be good to go for Monday night's wild-card game against the Los Angeles Rams and sounded pretty certain of his status.

James Conner Likely To Be Game-Time Decision Monday

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that running backs James Conner (heel, ribs) and Jonathan Ward (knee) will likely be game-time decisions on Monday night against the Los Angeles Rams to close out super wild-card weekend.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Misses Practice Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (shoulder) was not present for the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday after he was limited on Wednesday.

Tee Higgins Good To Go For Saturday

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor confirmed that wide receiver Tee Higgins (foot) is good to go for Saturday's wild-card game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Taylor said that Higgins' limited practice session on Wednesday was nothing. "Maybe he took one or two less reps than normal," Taylor said. So fantasy managers planning on using […]

Texans Fire David Culley

The Houston Texans fired head coach David Culley on Thursday after just one season with the team. When he was hired, Culley became the oldest first-time NFL head coach at 65 years old. Before he landed the gig, he spent two seasons as the Baltimore Ravens assistant head coach, passing-game coordinator and wide receivers coach. […]

No Limitations For Travis Kelce Wednesday

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (hip) was able to practice in full on Wednesday. Kelce was shaken up a bit with a hip injury in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Denver Broncos, but he managed to finish the game and should be just fine to play this Sunday night against […]

Tony Pollard Practicing In Full

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard (foot) put in a full practice on Wednesday to begin the week.

Dallas held Pollard out […]

Mike Evans Still Managing Hamstring Injury

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receivers Mike Evans (hamstring), Breshad Perriman (hip) and Justin Watson (quadriceps) were limited practice participants on Wednesday.

Greg Ward Limited At Wednesday's Practice

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Greg Ward (back) was limited in the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday.

The 26-year-old was targeted just 11 times all […]

Another Full Practice For Emmanuel Sanders

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (knee) put in his second straight full practice of the week on Wednesday.

Tee Higgins Added To Injury Report

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (foot) was added to the injury report on Wednesday after he put in a limited practice session. Higgins' injury doesn't appear to be too serious, but we'll keep a close eye on his status heading into Saturday's wild-card game against the visiting Las Vegas Raiders. The 22-year-old second-year pass-catcher […]

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (hand) was back at practice on Wednesday for the first time since suffering a broken hand in Week 16.

Jalen Hurts Practicing In Full

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (ankle) was able to get in a full practice on Wednesday. Hurts was held out of the Week 18 regular season finale against the Dallas Cowboys last weekend so he wouldn't aggravate an ankle sprain that he's been managing late in the season. But the 23-year-old looks to be nearing […]

Ben Roethlisberger Limited In Practice Wednesday

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (pectoral, shoulder) was a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Roethlisberger has been managing these two injuries mostly all season long, so he'll be fine to play in what could be the final game of his storied career this Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs on wild-card weekend. There's a reason […]

Najee Harris Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie running back Najee Harris (elbow) did not practice on Wednesday, as head coach Mike Tomlin alluded to earlier in the day.

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) will not practice on Wednesday, but he will be available to play against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday in the wild-card game. The 49ers are just managing Mitchell's knee injury that kept him out for three games near the end of the regular season. The 23-year-old […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Darrel Williams Practice Wednesday

Kansas City Chiefs running backs Clyde Edwards-Helaire (shoulder) and Darrel Williams (toe) were both able to practice on Wednesday, and head coach Andy Reid said they "looked good" in practice.
