Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry (knee) said he will "for sure" be able to play in Week 8 against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers after suffering a new knee injury in last Thursday's win over the Denver Broncos.

Added Weight Responsible For Brandon Aiyuk's Poor Start?

San Francisco 49ers second-year wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk said he put on extra weight in the offseason in an effort to get stronger, and head coach Kyle Shanahan said that "possibly" is the reason for the pass-catcher's slow start in 2021.

The Chicago Cubs will likely try to work out a contract extension with catcher Willson Contreras, who can become a free agent a year from now.

Richard Sherman, Lavonte David Return To Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Richard Sherman (hamstring) and linebacker Lavonte David (ankle) both returned to limited practices on Wednesday, while outside linebacker Jason Pierre-Paul (finger, shoulder) didn't practice.

San Francisco 49ers defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw (knee) is currently in Los Angeles being evaluated, and he could need season-ending surgery.

New York Jets running back Tevin Coleman (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday, while tight end Tyler Kroft (back) was limited.

Jonathan Taylor, Nyheim Hines Limited In Practice

Indianapolis Colts running backs Jonathan Taylor (ribs) and Nyheim Hines (ribs) were both limited in practice on Wednesday with rib injuries.
