Dusty Baker Returning To Astros In 2022

The Houston Astros announced on Friday that they signed manager Dusty Baker to a one-year contract extension for the 2022 season after he came just two wins shy of winning the World Series this year. Next season will mark the 72-year-old's 25th season as a manager in professional baseball and his third with the Astros […]

Seiya Suzuki To Be Posted This Offseason

Japanese star right fielder Seiya Suzuki will be posted this offseason by the Hiroshima Toyo Carp of Nippon Professional Baseball and made available to major league clubs, according to a source. The 27-year-old will compete with Starling Marte as one of this winter's top available free-agent outfielders after he's been a five-time All-Star in Japan. […]

Giants Decline Johnny Cueto's Option

The San Francisco Giants declined starting pitcher Johnny Cueto's $22 million option for the 2022 season on Friday, making him a free agent. Instead, the veteran right-hander will receive a $5 million buyout. As he nears the back end of his career, Cueto has become a back-of-the-rotation starter after missing most of the 2018 and […]

Javon Kinlaw Undergoes ACL Reconstruction

San Francisco 49ers defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw (knee) recently underwent a successful ACL reconstruction on his injured right knee to fix chronic changes in his knee. The 49ers are hoping that the 24-year-old first-round pick in 2020 can return to full health for the start of the 2022 campaign. Kinlaw was working through knee issues […]

Damien Williams Trending In The Wrong Direction

Chicago Bears running back Damien Williams (knee) missed his second straight practice of the week on Friday. If Williams is unable to get on the practice field on Saturday, he's unlikely to play on Monday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers after he was injured in the Week 8 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Initially […]

Darnell Mooney Pops Up On Injury Report Friday

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney (groin) was added to the team's Week 9 injury report on Friday after he got in a limited practice. Mid-week injuries are usually never a good thing, but the fact that Mooney was still able to practice on a limited basis is a good sign. It's an injury that […]

Chris Boswell Should Be Good To Go For Monday Night

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell (concussion) was a full participant at practice on Friday after being limited on Thursday. Boswell suffered a concussion on a fake field-goal attempt in the Week 8 win over the Cleveland Browns, but it looks like he has cleared the league's concussion protocol, and he should be fine to play […]

Eric Ebron Returns To Limited Practice Friday

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Eric Ebron (ankle) managed to get in a limited practice on Friday after sitting out Thursday's session. Ebron was inactive for the Week 8 win over the Cleveland Browns, but he seems to be trending in the right direction to make it back on Monday night against the Chicago Bears. Even […]

Cardinals To Play It Safe With Kyler Murray?

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Week 9 against the San Francisco 49ers, and general manager Steve Keim said the team needs to "be smart" with the signal-caller and "think about the big picture." It sounds awfully similar to the company line that the Dallas Cowboys used a week […]

Odell Beckham Jr. To Be Placed On Waivers Monday

After days of negotiations, the Cleveland Browns and wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. reached a settlement on Friday that will result in him being placed on waivers on Monday, according to league sources. Beckham can be claimed by an interested team as soon as Tuesday at 4pm ET. The 29-year-old petitioned for his exit in […]

Chargers Secondary Will Be Vulnerable On Sunday

Los Angeles Chargers starting cornerbacks Michael Davis (hamstring) and Asante Samuel Jr. (concussion) have both been ruled out in Week 9 against the Philadelphia Eagles, while safety Alohi Gilman (ankle) is doubtful to play. As a result, cornerbacks Tevaughn Campbell and Ryan Smith are expected to step into starting roles this weekend. The Chargers defense […]

Justin Jackson Ruled Out Against Philadelphia

Los Angeles Chargers running back Justin Jackson (quadriceps) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 9. Jackson was injured in the Week 8 loss to the New England Patriots. Joshua Kelley was a healthy scratch last weekend, but he and rookie Larry Rountree III […]

Chris Evans, Auden Tate Questionable For Week 9

Cincinnati Bengals rookie running back Chris Evans (hamstring) and wide receiver Auden Tate (thigh) were both limited in practice all week and are questionable for Week 9 against the Cleveland Browns. Evans missed the Week 8 loss to the New York Jets, but he's trending in the right direction to make his return and serve […]

Marcus Maye Done For The Season

New York Jets safety Marcus Maye (Achilles) suffered a torn Achilles in the Thursday night loss to the Indianapolis Colts and will miss the rest of the season. Maye went down with a non-contact injury in the second half on Thursday, and it didn't look good. It's extremely bad timing for the 28-year-old, who is […]

Tyler Kroft To Miss Multiple Weeks With Lung Laceration

New York Jets tight end Tyler Kroft (lung), who was injured in the Thursday night loss to the Indianapolis Colts, suffered a lung laceration and will miss multiple weeks, according to a source. There's a good chance that Kroft is placed on Injured Reserve, although he's expected to return later this season. Even though Ryan […]

Lions Waive Tyrell Williams

The Detroit Lions waived wide receiver Tyrell Williams (concussion) on Friday with an injury settlement. Williams suffered a concussion in the team's Week 1 game and has yet to play since. The 29-year-old was expected to replace Kenny Golladay and serve as quarterback Jared Goff's top receiver in 2021, but that obviously never came to […]

Jalen Reagor Good To Go For Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jalen Reagor (ankle) practiced in full on Friday and was removed from the final Week 9 injury report against the Los Angeles Chargers. Reagor was injured in the blowout win over the Detroit Lions in Week 8, but he won't miss time against the Chargers. The 22-year-old second-year wideout hasn't had […]

Taysom Hill Will Play Against Falcons

The New Orleans Saints named quarterback Trevor Siemian as their starter for the Week 9 contest against the division-rival Atlanta Falcons, but head coach Sean Payton said that Taysom Hill (concussion) will also play in the game. Hill missed the team's last two games but has cleared the concussion protocol and will be active this […]

Blake Jarwin, Tyron Smith Ruled Out For Week 9

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin (hip) and left tackle Tyron Smith (ankle) have both officially been ruled out for the Week 9 game against the Denver Broncos on Sunday. Jarwin suffered his injury in the Week 8 win over the Minnesota Vikings, while Smith aggravated his ankle injury last Sunday night and is now […]

CeeDee Lamb Expected To Play Against Broncos

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Week 9 against the Denver Broncos, took part in the team's walkthrough practice on Friday and is expected to play on Sunday. Lamb rolled his ankle in practice on Wednesday but should be a full participant in Saturday's final tune-up of the […]

Amari Cooper Expected To Play Despite Questionable Tag

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper (hamstring) is officially questionable for Week 9 against the Denver Broncos, but he was able to practice on a limited basis this week and is expected to play on Sunday. Cooper had his second 100-yard game of the season in the Week 8 win over the Minnesota Vikings, catching […]

Questionable Tag For Elijah Mitchell In Week 9

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Elijah Mitchell (rib) is being listed as questionable to play this Sunday against the division-rival Arizona Cardinals in Week 9 action. Mitchell was limited in practice each of the last two days, so we'd consider him to be on the right side of questionable for the weekend. The 23-year-old […]

Deebo Samuel Listed As Questionable

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (calf) is listed as questionable for Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said that Samuel's calf "is worse this week," so the team will take the next two days to see how he feels leading up to Sunday's action. It sounds as though the […]

DeAndre Hopkins Listed As Questionable Against 49ers

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) missed practice all week and is listed as questionable for the Week 9 game against the San Francisco 49ers. Hopkins is expected to be a game-time decision, along with quarterback Kyler Murray (ankle). Nuk was questionable entering last Thursday's game against the Green Bay Packers as well. He […]

George Kittle Returning In Week 9

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (calf) will be activated from Injured Reserve before Sunday's divisional game against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 9, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. This was always the expectation with Kittle returning to practice this week, but now it's official. Fantasy managers can gladly slide the top-tier tight […]

Albert Okwuegbunam Questionable For Week 9

Denver Broncos tight end Albert Okwuegbunam (knee) is questionable for the team's Week 9 game against the Dallas Cowboys. Okwuegbunam was limited in practice this week, so he has a chance to play this weekend after coming off Injured Reserve in Week 8 to catch all three of his targets for 34 yards in the […]

Noah Fant Not Expected To Play Against Cowboys

Denver Broncos head coach Vic Fangio doesn't expect tight end Noah Fant to play in Week 9 against the Dallas Cowboys since he remains on the league's Reserve/COVID-19 list. Backup tight end Albert Okwuegbunam (knee) is also questionable to play on Sunday, so the Broncos could be down to Eric Saubert at the position this […]

Julio Jones Will Play Sunday Night

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) was limited in practice all week, but he was removed from the final Week 9 injury report on Friday and will play on Sunday night against the Los Angeles Rams. It's good news, considering A.J. Brown (knee) is now questionable after missing practice on Friday with a knee […]

A.J. Brown Now Questionable With Knee Injury

Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) popped up on the team's Week 9 injury report after not practicing on Friday, and he's officially questionable to play on Sunday night against the Los Angeles Rams. This is a troubling development, as new injuries that crop up on Fridays are usually never good news. Stay tuned […]

Dolphins Place DeVante Parker On Injured Reserve

The Miami Dolphins are placing wide receiver DeVante Parker (hamstring) on Injured Reserve on Friday after he suffered a setback with his troublesome hamstring in practice this week. Parker, who has already missed three games this year with hamstring and shoulder issues, will now be forced to miss at least three more games. Will Fuller […]
