Ben Roethlisberger Preparing As If He'll Play

Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Matt Canada said that quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is preparing as if he is going to play on Sunday night against the Los Angeles Chargers. Roethlisberger missed the tie in Week 10 with the Detroit Lions after testing positive for COVID-19 and needs two negative tests in order to be activated before […]

Allen Lazard Absent Again Thursday

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard (shoulder) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday while tending to a shoulder injury. Lazard's status for Week 11 against the Minnesota Vikings is firmly in question, and he'll likely need to practice on Friday to avoid being ruled out. The 25-year-old has scored a touchdown […]

Another Missed Practice For Aaron Jones

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (knee) missed his second straight day of practice this week on Thursday. Jones is expected to miss one to two weeks after suffering a sprained MCL in the Week 10 win over the Seattle Seahawks, so his absence at practice this week isn't a big surprise. A.J. Dillon […]

Davante Adams Practicing Again Thursday

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (shoulder) took part in practice on Thursday after he was listed as being limited in the team's walkthrough on Wednesday. The 28-year-old is having his practice reps limited ahead of a Week 11 showdown with the Minnesota Vikings. There isn't any concern that he'll be limited this weekend […]

Aaron Rodgers Misses Another Day Of Practice

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (toe) spent another day sidelined at practice on Thursday. Rodgers hasn't practiced yet this week, but he said he will be playing in Week 11 against the division-rival Minnesota Vikings. We'd expect Rodgers return to the practice field on Friday, but even if he doesn't, he would still be […]

Marquise Brown Becoming A Question Mark For Week 11

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown (thigh) wasn't seen at practice on Thursday for the second straight day. The 24-year-old will need to get back on the practice field on Friday in order to alleviate any concerns fantasy managers have surrounding his Week 11 status for a game against the Chicago Bears. Despite a down […]

Lamar Jackson Still Out With Illness

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson missed another day of practice on Thursday with a non-COVID-19-related illness. At least it's not COVID-related, but if Jackson misses another practice on Friday, it might be time to sound the alarm bells for a Week 11 date against the Chicago Bears. If for some reason Jackson can't get right […]

Jermar Jefferson Trending In The Wrong Direction

Detroit Lions rookie running back Jermar Jefferson (ankle) missed his second straight day of practice this week on Thursday and seems likely to miss the Week 11 game against the Cleveland Browns after getting injured in the Week 10 tie with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jefferson scored his second career touchdown last Sunday with Jamaal Williams […]

Jared Goff Misses Another Practice

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff (oblique) missed another practice on Thursday. Goff suffered a strained oblique early in the Week 10 tie with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but he stayed in the game and finished the contest. Two straight missed practices this week, however, has his status in question for Week 11 against the Cleveland Browns. […]

Kyler Murray Practicing Again Thursday

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (ankle), who has missed the last two games with an ankle sprain, was on the practice field again for the second straight day on Thursday. He's likely to be listed as limited for the second straight day, but Murray said on Wednesday that he's "pretty close" to returning in Week […]

DeAndre Hopkins Remains Out Thursday

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) remains out of practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Hopkins hasn't practiced or played since aggravating his hamstring injury in Week 8, and he doesn't seem likely to suit up again this weekend against the Seattle Seahawks. In eight games played this year, Hopkins […]

Dallas Goedert Progressing Through Concussion Protocol

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (concussion) looks to at least be limited in practice on Thursday, which is a good sign that he's progressing through the league's concussion protocol. Goedert wasn't able to get on the practice field on Wednesday. As long as he doesn't suffer any setbacks with his head injury, it's looking […]

Cordarrelle Patterson Unlikely To Play Thursday

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said on the Gresh & Keefe show on WEEI that Atlanta Falcons running back Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) is fighting "an uphill battle" to play on Thursday night against the New England Patriots. Patterson was very limited in walkthrough practices on the short week after getting injured in Week 10 against the […]

Nick Chubb Trending In The Right Direction

Cleveland Browns offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt said that running back Nick Chubb is trending in the right direction, and the team is hoping to get him back from the COVID-19 list this week in order to play in Week 11 against the winless Detroit Lions. Chubb missed the Week 10 blowout loss to the […]

James Robinson Returns To Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson (heel, knee) was back at practice on Thursday, as expected, in a limited fashion after sitting out on Wednesday. Robinson picked up a new heel injury in the Week 10 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, but it's not believed to be a serious injury. Barring any sort of setback, […]

Joey Bosa On COVID-19 List As Close Contact

Los Angeles Chargers edge rusher Joey Bosa was put on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday as a close contact of defensive lineman Jerry Tillery, according to head coach Brandon Staley. Bosa is unvaccinated, though, and must quarantine for five days, per the league's COVID-19 protocols. If he continues to test negative and stays asymptomatic, he […]

Wayne Gallman Still The No. 3 Back

Atlanta Falcons running back Wayne Gallman, who remains the team's No. 3 back behind Cordarrelle Patterson and Mike Davis, saw a season-high 15 carries in the Week 10 loss to the Dallas Cowboys and had a team-high 55 yards. However, that was by design with a short week coming up. "We know we have to […]

Matt Ryan, Falcons Offense Struggling With Man Coverage

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan and the offense have struggled against man coverage this year, and it was evident in their Week 10 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, when Ryan completed a career-low nine passes. Atlanta's receivers combined to catch three passes for 36 yards. Ryan is completing 60.9% of his passes against man coverage, […]

Jake Kumerow Back From COVID-19 List

The Buffalo Bills activated wide receiver Jake Kumerow from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday and placed offensive lineman Spencer Brown on the COVID list in a corresponding move. Kumerow missed the Week 10 win over the New York Jets but will be available this weekend when Buffalo hosts the Indianapolis Colts. The 29-year-old is mostly […]

Browns Activate John Kelly From COVID-19 List

The Cleveland Browns activated running back John Kelly from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday. It's not the running back that fantasy managers were hoping would be activated -- that would be Nick Chubb. Chubb, Kelly and rookie Demetric Felton were all unavailable in the Week 10 blowout loss to the New England Patriots while on […]

Alex Collins Remains Limited At Practice

Seattle Seahawks running back Alex Collins (groin) remained a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Collins continues to manage a groin injury, but barring a setback, he should be fine to play in Week 11 against the Arizona Cardinals. The bigger question is whether Chris Carson (neck) will return from Injured Reserve after missing practice […]

Gerald Everett Unable To Practice Wednesday

Seattle Seahawks tight end Gerald Everett (groin) was unable to get on the practice field on Wednesday. Everett's status at practice the rest of the week will be one to watch. If he isn't able to play this weekend against the Arizona Cardinals, Will Dissly and Colby Parkinson would see more playing time. While the […]

D.K. Metcalf Held Out Of Practice Wednesday

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf (foot) was held out of practice on Wednesday. Metcalf has been missing one practice a week regularly since early this season, so as long as he is able to return to practice on Thursday, he should be just fine for a Week 11 date with the Arizona Cardinals. The […]

Colt McCoy, Eno Benjamin Limited Wednesday

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Colt McCoy (pectoral) and running back Eno Benjamin (groin) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. McCoy strained a pectoral muscle in the Week 10 loss to the Carolina Panthers, but he should be available to make a third straight start this weekend against the Seattle Seahawks should Kyler Murray (ankle) be […]

Carlos Hyde Limited To Begin The Week

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Carlos Hyde (shoulder) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Lead-back James Robinson is dealing with a new heel issue and missed practice on Wednesday, but he's expected to be fine for Week 11 against the San Francisco 49ers. Hyde is only worth using in starting fantasy lineups if Robinson […]

Taysom Hill Misses Practice With Foot Injury

New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill (foot) and wide receiver Ty Montgomery (hand) both missed practice on Wednesday. Hill returned from a two-week concussion absence in Week 9 to play 17 offensive snaps. Trevor Siemian got another start in the Week 10 loss to the Tennessee Titans, while Hill saw a slightly bigger role (21 […]

Patriots Put Josh Uche On Injured Reserve

The New England Patriots placed edge rusher Josh Uche (ankle) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday. The 23-year-old will now miss at least the next three games. Uche had been playing a rotational role for the New England defense and had only missed one game this year. The second-year pass-rusher played 31.2% of the defensive snaps […]

Richard Sherman Placed On Injured Reserve

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers placed cornerback Richard Sherman (calf) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday, meaning that he will have to miss at least the next three games. The 33-year-old veteran cornerback suffered a Grade 2 calf strain during pre-game warmups before the Week 10 game. Sherman signed with the Bucs in Week 4 and played […]

Limited Practice For Josh Jacobs On Wednesday

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (knee) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Fellow running back Jalen Richard (ribs) was held out of practice. Jacobs had only seven carries -- his second-fewest of the season -- for 16 yards in the Week 10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. However, […]

Jeremy McNichols Dealing With Concussion

Tennessee Titans running back Jeremy McNichols is in the league's concussion protocol and didn't practice on Wednesday. McNichols will need to pass through the league's protocols this week in order to suit up on Sunday against the Houston Texans. The 25-year-old was third on the team in backfield touches (five) behind D'Onta Foreman's 13 and […]
