Sean Murphy-Bunting, Jamel Dean Go On COVID-19 List

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerbacks Sean Murphy-Bunting and Jamel Dean were both placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday, bringing the total number of Buccaneers players and coaches on the list to seven.

Bruce Arians Tests Positive For COVID-19

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians has tested positive for COVID-19 and is isolating at home. Arians said he is dealing with mild symptoms, mainly a cough. Assistant head coach and run-game coordinator Harold Goodwin will handle Arians' duties on an interim basis if Arians is forced to miss Week 17 against the New […]

Packers Put Marcedes Lewis On COVID-19 List

The Green Bay Packers placed tight end Marcedes Lewis and linebacker Oren Burks on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday. There's a chance they could both clear the league's COVID protocols by Sunday, but it remains to be seen if that will happen. Splitting time and targets with Josiah Deguara, Lewis hasn't become a fantasy relevant […]

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson II said he lost 10 pounds when he tested positive for COVID-19 and is still trying to feel normal. Robinson was activated from the COVID list on Monday, but he missed the team's last two games and could be limited this week during practice. As far as Week 17 […]

Carson Wentz's Week 17 Status Is TBD

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz's status for the Week 17 game against the Las Vegas Raiders remains to be determined, pending updated COVID-19 protocols. If the NFL's new protocols say that a player only needs to quarantine for five days after a positive test, Wentz could be cleared by Saturday. It was reported earlier on […]

Carson Wentz Lands On COVID-19 List

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday. Since Wentz is unvaccinated, he will miss the Week 17 game against the Las Vegas Raiders. The former Philadelphia Eagle hasn't been a QB1 for fantasy managers in Indy's run-first offense, but his absence in an important AFC matchup this weekend will […]

Russell Wilson's Struggles Not Related To Injury

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll noted that quarterback Russell Wilson isn't dealing with the after-effects of his finger injury and doesn't believe that his recent struggles are related to offensive coordinator Shane Waldron's system "at all." "But the results are a little bit different," Carroll said, "and the accuracy thing, maybe there's a couple […]

Trey Lance Showing Improvement

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that rookie quarterback Trey Lance has made progress while running the scout team in practices, with Shanahan pointing to improved decision-making and accuracy, among other things.

Cardinals Get Center Rodney Hudson Back

The Arizona Cardinals activated starting center Rodney Hudson from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday. Hudson has missed the last two games while on the COVID list, and he also missed three games earlier this year with a ribs injury. "Rodney has been huge for us," head coach Kliff Kingsbury said. "When you look at the […]

Markus Golden Placed On COVID-19 List

The Arizona Cardinals placed linebacker Markus Golden and reserve offensive lineman Sean Harlow on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday. Golden has 11 sacks on the season, so if he's unavailable to play in a huge Week 17 game against the Dallas Cowboys, the Cardinals defense will be missing one of their key pass-rushers. If Golden […]

Amari Rodgers Goes On COVID-19 List

The Green Bay Packers placed rookie wide receiver/kick returner Amari Rodgers, guard Ben Braden, linebacker Tipa Galeai, linebacker Ty Summers and defensive lineman R.J. McIntosh on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday. Their availability for the team's Week 17 game against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday night is now in question. Rodgers, who was drafted in […]

Mekhi Sargent Claimed Off Waivers By Jaguars

The Jacksonville Jaguars claimed running back Mekhi Sargent and linebacker Jamir Jones off waivers from the Los Angeles Rams on Monday. The Jaguars need more running back depth after James Robison tore his Achilles in Week 16. Dare Ogunbowale is the favorite to take over lead-back duties for the final two games of the regular […]

Terron Armstead Remains Out Against Dolphins

New Orleans Saints offensive tackle Terron Armstead (knee) is officially inactive for Monday Night Football against the Miami Dolphins.

Miami Dolphins running back Salvon Ahmed is a healthy scratch on Monday night against the New Orleans Saints to wrap up Week 16 action. Ahmed was activated from the COVID-19 list last week but didn't play any snaps. The Dolphins will be running with Myles Gaskin, Duke Johnson, Phillip Lindsay and Jordan Scarlett in their […]

Cam Akers Could Play In Week 17

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said there's a possibility that running back Cam Akers (Achilles) plays in Week 17 against the Baltimore Ravens. The Rams activated Akers from Injured Reserve last week, and now there's a chance that he'll see action to finish off the regular season after the Rams placed Darrell Henderson […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. Placed On Injured Reserve

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that running back Darrell Henderson Jr. (knee) is going on Injured Reserve due to an MCL injury that he suffered in the Week 16 win over the Minnesota Vikings. Henderson had just one carry for 17 yards on Sunday before leaving the game, and he saw only […]

Raiders Hoping Darren Waller Can Practice Wednesday

Las Vegas Raiders interim head coach Rich Bisaccia said he's hoping that tight end Darren Waller (back, knee) will be able to get on the practice field on Wednesday, but it's still a touch-and-go situation. Waller has been out since getting injured on Thanksgiving, and he's not a lock to return in Week 17 against […]

Azeez Al-Shaair Expected To Miss Final Two Games

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair (knee) suffered a knee sprain in last week's loss to the Tennessee Titans and is expected to miss at least the final two games of the regular season.

Updating a previous report, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (thumb) suffered a chipped bone and torn ligament in his right thumb in last Thursday's loss to the Tennessee Titans, according to sources.

Austin Ekeler Removed From COVID-19 List

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler has been removed from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday. Ekeler officially went on the COVID list last Wednesday and wasn't able to play in the team's surprising Week 16 loss to the Houston Texans. Justin Jackson filled in nicely as a fantasy and real-life replacement, though, carrying 11 […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Listed As Week-To-Week

Updating a previous report, Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (shoulder) is now considered week-to-week with a bruised shoulder, according to a league source. It will be challenging for Edwards-Helaire to play this Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals, but he isn't being ruled out just yet. As of Monday, fantasy managers should consider CEH […]

Eagles Hopeful Jordan Howard Can Play In Week 17

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard's (neck) MRI exam was "good" on Monday, and the team is hopeful that he can play in Week 17 against the Washington Football Team.

No Structural Damage For Clyde Edwards-Helaire

Tests on Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (shoulder) on Monday showed some swelling but no structural damage, according to a source.

Shaq Thompson Lands On COVID-19 List

The Carolina Panthers added linebacker Shaq Thompson to the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday. Along with Thompson, edge rusher Brian Burns, defensive end Marquis Haynes Sr. and defensive tackle Phil Hoskins were added to the list.

Breshad Perriman Activated From COVID-19 List

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Breshad Perriman has been activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday after he missed the last two games. There is more opportunity in Tampa's passing game with Chris Godwin (knee) out for the year and Mike Evans (hamstring) questionable to play in Week 17, but Perriman is still unlikely to […]
