Jimmy Graham Back From COVID-19 List

The Chicago Bears activated tight end Jimmy Graham from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday. Graham tested positive for the virus and missed the last two games while on the league's COVID-19 list.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Returning To Practice

The Green Bay Packers designated wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) to return from Injured Reserve on Monday. It will open his practice window leading up to the Week 9 game against the Kansas City Chiefs, but it doesn't mean he'll be activated from IR and be active this weekend. The Packers will be getting Allen […]

Zach Wilson Should Practice Next Week

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said the team didn't put rookie quarterback Zach Wilson (knee) on Injured Reserve because they think that he'll be back at practice leading up to the Week 10 game against the Buffalo Bills. Wilson may not necessarily be ready to play in Week 10, but it's good news […]

Dawson Knox Considered Day-To-Day

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that tight end Dawson Knox (hand) was day-to-day on Monday after having surgery on his broken hand.

Deebo Samuel Will Be Monitored This Week

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (calf) and left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) will be monitored as the week goes on again, similar to what the team did last week, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that tight end Rob Gronkowski (back), like cornerback Richard Sherman (hamstring), "probably shouldn't have played" in the Week 8 loss to the New Orleans Saints, but the team is hopeful that Gronk will be back and healthy after the bye in Week 9. Gronk returned for the […]

Derrick Henry To Have Surgery, Out 6-10 Weeks

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (foot) will have foot surgery on Tuesday morning and is expected to be out for six to 10 weeks. There is a belief that Henry will be back at some point this season, but the timeline of six weeks is probably too soon. A return in the eight- to […]

Tyron Smith Questionable To Return Against Vikings

Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith (ankle) is questionable to return for the remainder of the Sunday night game against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 8. The 30-year-old came into the game as questionable with an injury to the same ankle, so it's likely that he aggravated it. Don't be surprised if he doesn't return […]

Danielle Hunter Ruled Out Sunday Night

Minnesota Vikings defensive end Danielle Hunter (shoulder) was ruled out for the second half of the Sunday night game against the Dallas Cowboys after suffering a shoulder injury in the first half.

Minnesota Vikings defensive end Danielle Hunter (shoulder) is questionable to return to the Sunday night game against the Dallas Cowboys with a shoulder injury. Hunter came into this game with team-leading six sacks, 33 tackles (20 solo) and 10 QB hits, so it will be great news for Cowboys backup quarterback Cooper Rush and the […]

Broncos Defense Steps Up Against Washington

The Denver Broncos defense had an impressive performance in the 17-10 win over the Washington Football Team in Week 8 on Sunday. And they did it without star linebacker Von Miller (ankle), who was held out after suffering an ankle injury in the Week 7 loss to the Cleveland Browns. Not only did they allow […]
