Mike Evans Back At Practice On Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) was back at practice running routes for quarterback Tom Brady on Thursday, suggesting that he has been activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list. However, he looks to be fatigued easily in his return. Evans tweaked his hamstring in Week 15 and was inactive in last week's easy win […]

Randall Cobb Designated To Return From Injured Reserve

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb (core) has been designated to return from Injured Reserve after having core muscle surgery around a month ago and was back at practice on Thursday. It's a surprise that Cobb is already back on the practice field, but it's also unlikely that he's activated from IR before Sunday […]

Lamar Jackson Not Practicing Thursday

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) was not practicing on Thursday in the portion open to the media. It comes just one day after he was limping badly in practice on Wednesday when he was listed as limited. It's a downgrade for Jackson, and although the Ravens expected him to return from a two-game absence […]

Parris Campbell Back At Practice

Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay tweeted on Thursday that wide receiver Parris Campbell (foot) is back at practice, which signals that the Colts have designated the 24-year-old to return from Injured Reserve. Campbell won't actually be eligible to play in a game until he's officially activated from IR, but Indy's offense could be getting a […]

Jordan Howard Returns To Practice Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard (stinger) returned to the practice field on Thursday after being listed as DNP for Wednesday's practice. It's unclear the exact level of participation for Howard, but the fact that he was able to get on the practice field is good news for his status in Week 17 against the […]

Patrick Mekari Receives Three-Year Extension

The Baltimore Ravens signed versatile offensive lineman Patrick Mekari to a three-year contract extension that will take him through the 2024 season on Thursday. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Mekari has started 10 games at right tackle this year after finishing as Baltimore's starting center in 2020. "Pat is an easy decision," […]

Nelson Agholor Remains In Concussion Protocol

New England Patriots wide receiver Nelson Agholor (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol and was not spotted at practice on Thursday for the second straight day. Agholor has another day to clear the protocol, but after missing last week's loss to the Buffalo Bills, it seems unlikely at this point that he'll recover in […]

Still No Clyde Edwards-Helaire At Practice Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (shoulder) was absent from practice for the second straight day on Thursday, as expected. As Arrowhead Pride's Pete Sweeney mentioned in his Tweet, it looks like it'll be the Darrel Williams/Derrick Gore show this weekend against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals aren't an easy defense to run against […]

Chase McLaughlin Activated Thursday

The Cleveland Browns activated kicker Chase McLaughlin, defensive tackle Jordan Elliott, cornerback Greg Newsome II and center JC Tretter from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday. With McLaughlin and the others ready to return for Week 17 against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday night, the Browns released Chris Naggar, who filled in for Cleveland on […]

Antonio Gibson Not Seen On Thursday

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson (hip) wasn't at the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday. Gibson was limited to begin the practice week on Wednesday, so this downgrade should have fantasy managers a bit concerned about his status heading into Week 17 against the Philadelphia Eagles. The 23-year-old played just […]

Bobby Wagner's Future In Seattle Is Uncertain

Seattle Seahawks perennial All-Pro linebacker Bobby Wagner knows his future with the team beyond 2021 is uncertain with a huge salary cap number in 2022 and a potential roster shakeup coming after the team's worst season in more than a decade. The 31-year-old is set to count $20.35 million against the cap next season in […]

Dalvin Cook Limited In Return From COVID-19 List

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (illness) was listed as limited in practice on Wednesday after he was removed from the Reserve/COVID-19 list. Rookie Kene Nwangwu (hamstring) was also limited. Cook is trying to get his legs back under him after a bout with COVID that caused him to miss the Week 16 loss to […]

Tyler Conklin Not On The Practice Field Wednesday

Minnesota Vikings tight end Tyler Conklin (hamstring) was tagged as a DNP for Wednesday's practice. It's unclear if this is an injury that could keep Conklin sidelined for Week 17's Sunday night meeting with the Green Bay Packers or if the team is just resting him early in the week, but we'll have a clearer […]

DK Metcalf Starts The Week With No Practice

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (foot) was a DNP to begin the practice week on Wednesday. Metcalf has been rested early in the week for most of the year after injuring his foot way back in Week 4, but he hasn't missed any games. The 24-year-old has mostly been disappointing in the second half […]

D'Andre Swift Practices In Full Wednesday

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (shoulder) was able to practice in full on Wednesday. It was reported earlier in the day that Swift is expected to return in Week 17 against the Seattle Seahawks for the first time since spraining his shoulder on Thanksgiving. His full practice certainly supports that, although fantasy managers should […]

Tre'Quan Smith Not At Practice Wednesday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (chest) was unable to take part in practice on Wednesday. Smith played 14 offensive snaps in the Monday night loss to the Miami Dolphins before departing with a chest injury and never returning. The 25-year-old wasn't targeted at all by rookie quarterback Ian Book, who was making his […]

Haason Reddick Placed On COVID-19 List

The Carolina Panthers placed outside linebacker Haason Reddick and reserve quarterback P.J. Walker on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday. The team also activated offensive linemen Pat Elflein and Dennis Daley from the list. The Panthers defense could be extremely short-handed in Week 17 against the New Orleans Saints, as they put defensive ends Brian Burns […]

Zach Ertz Remains On The Injury Report

Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz (hamstring) opened the week with a limited showing in practice on Wednesday. Ertz has been on the injury report for the last month with Arizona, but he hasn't missed any games and has been an every-down player for the Cardinals. With receiver DeAndre Hopkins (knee) out, Ertz has seen […]

Chase Edmonds Limited On Wednesday

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (back) was listed as limited in practice on Wednesday. Edmonds is dealing with a minor back that shouldn't keep him from playing in a big Week 17 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. The 25-year-old missed four games due to a high ankle sprain but returned in Week 15. Edmonds […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Officially A DNP Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (thumb) was officially listed as a DNP for Wednesday's practice. Garoppolo is dealing with a Grade 3 sprain of his right thumb and also has a small fracture in there, but there's a chance he'll be able to give it a go in Week 17 against the Houston Texans. […]

Elijah Mitchell Able To Practice Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) was able to get in a limited practice to begin the week on Wednesday. Mitchell is no longer dealing with a concussion, but it remains to be seen if he can get past his knee injury and return to the lead-back role in a juicy Week […]

Drew Lock Limited, Teddy Bridgewater Still Not Practicing

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock (ankle) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday, while Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) remained out with a concussion. Although Lock is dealing with a new injury, he's expected to get the start for the second straight week after Bridgewater suffered a scary head injury in Week 15. In his […]

Javonte Williams, Melvin Gordon III Limited Wednesday

Denver Broncos running backs Javonte Williams (knee) and Melvin Gordon III (hip, thumb) were both limited in the first practice of the week on Wednesday. Williams and Gordon continue to be limited in practices, but their injuries won't keep them from playing in Week 17 against the Los Angeles Chargers. LA's rush defense has been […]

Lamar Jackson Limited In Practice Wednesday

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) was able to practice on a limited basis on Wednesday, but he was noticeably limping. It's good news that Jackson is back on the practice field and trending in the right direction for a return to action in Week 17 against the Los Angeles Rams, but his status will […]

Curtis Samuel Gets In A Limited Practice

Washington Football Team wide receiver Curtis Samuel (hamstring) started off the practice week on Wednesday with a limited session. Samuel missed most of the first half of the season with a lingering groin injury that he had been dealing with since the summer, but he's missed the last two games with a hamstring issue. It's […]

Antonio Gibson Listed With Hip Injury

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson (hip) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday due to a hip injury. He was listed with a toe injury last week but still suited up in the embarrassing blowout loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Don't be alarmed by Gibson's season-low six carries in Week 16, […]

Limited Practice For Jalen Hurts Wednesday

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (ankle) was limited in the first practice of the week on Wednesday. Hurts continues to manage an ankle injury that caused him to miss only one game, but he should be fine to play in Week 17 against the Washington Football Team. Just two weeks ago, Hurts threw for 297 […]

Jordan Howard Misses Practice Wednesday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard (neck) was unable to practice on Wednesday, while rookie Kenneth Gainwell (ankle) was listed as limited with an ankle injury. Miles Sanders is out in Week 17 against the Washington Football Team due to a broken hand, so Howard would be in line for a significant role in the […]

Antonio Brown Still Managing Ankle Injury

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown (ankle) was listed as limited in Wednesday's practice. After a long layoff due to a sprained ankle and a three-game suspension, Brown returned in Week 16 against the Carolina Panthers to go off for 10 catches for 101 yards on 15 targets. Chris Godwin (knee) is out for […]

Nick Folk Remains On The Injury Report

New England Patriots kicker Nick Folk (knee) was a limited practice participant to begin the week on Wednesday yet again. Folk will likely be limited all week before being taken off the final injury report for Week 17 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The highest-scoring kicker in fantasy this year had a down game in last […]
