Dalvin Cook Questionable To Play Thursday

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (shoulder) is listed as questionable for the Thursday night game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Cook practiced in a limited fashion on Tuesday and Wednesday, so he at least has a chance to return to action in Week 14 after dislocating his left shoulder and tearing his labrum in Week […]

Adam Thielen Officially Ruled Out This Week

The Minnesota Vikings officially ruled out wide receiver Adam Thielen (ankle) for Thursday night's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Thielen suffered a high ankle sprain in the Week 13 loss to the Detroit Lions and could easily miss more time beyond this week. Fantasy managers need to prepare for that possibility with the fantasy postseason […]

Justin Fields Will Start Against Packers

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy said that rookie quarterback Justin Fields (ribs) has been cleared and will start this Sunday night against the Green Bay Packers. Fields was limited in practice all last week, but Chicago was playing it safe and held the first-rounder out for a second straight game. Now that he's been […]

Joe Burrow Says He'll Practice Wednesday

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (pinkie) said he will practice "a little bit" on Wednesday, but he has yet to throw since dislocating his right pinkie finger in the Week 13 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Burrow said he doesn't have a problem going under center and said, "I don't foresee that happening," when […]

Randy Gregory Back At Practice Wednesday

Dallas Cowboys defensive end Randy Gregory (calf) returned to practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Mike McCarthy. The Cowboys now have 21 days to activate Gregory from the Injured Reserve, but that could come later this week if the 29-year-old looks good in practice this week. Having Gregory available in Week 14's divisional clash […]

Montez Sweat Likely To Miss Two More Games

Washington Football Team pass-rusher Montez Sweat (jaw), who missed the last four games with a fractured jaw and was expected to return to practice on Wednesday, has tested positive for COVID-19, according to a source. Sweat is now expected to miss the next 10 days (which means he's unvaccinated), which will likely keep him out […]

Zach Cunningham Placed On Waivers

The Houston Texans put linebacker Zach Cunningham on waivers on Tuesday. He made nearly $9 million this year, but his base for the entire season was $900,000, so there is a chance he'll be claimed off the waiver wire. Cunningham didn't play in Week 13 against the Indianapolis Colts due to disciplinary reasons, but before […]

Keelan Cole Back From COVID-19 List

New York Jets wide receiver Keelan Cole is off the Reserve/COVID-19 list and is practicing on Wednesday.

Rookie Elijah Moore is also dealing with a quadriceps […]

Tevin Coleman In The Concussion Protocol

New York Jets running back Tevin Coleman (head) is in the league's concussion protocol and did not practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Robert Saleh. With Michael Carter (ankle) on Injured Reserve, Ty Johnson, Austin Walter and La'Mical Perine are the backs behind Coleman on New York's depth chart. Coleman will be one to […]

Elijah Moore Day-To-Day With Quad Injury

New York Jets rookie wide receiver Elijah Moore (quadriceps) is dealing with a quad injury and is listed as day-to-day, according to head coach Robert Saleh.

Rams Non-Committal On Sony Michel's Role Moving Forward

When asked if he sees running back Sony Michel taking on a lead-back role, regardless of Darrell Henderson's (thigh) health, Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay was non-committal. "I think it's really good to get Sony going. I think he's a rhythm runner, but I think we definitely would want to find ways to […]

Keenan Allen Has A Chance To Play Sunday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen is vaccinated, so he still has a chance to play in Week 14 against the New York Giants, according to a source. Allen landed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday, and he'll need to be asymptomatic and return two negative tests 24 hours apart in order to be […]

Cowboys Activate Terence Steele From COVID-19 List

The Dallas Cowboys activated offensive tackle Terence Steele from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday. Steele will be available in Week 14 against the Washington Football Team, but it's uncertain how the playing time will shake out at right tackle between Steele and La'el Collins. Steele was starting at right tackle and doing well, but Collins […]

Kevin Byard Back From COVID-19 List

The Tennessee Titans activated safety Kevin Byard from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday. The timing couldn't have been better for Byard and the Titans, as he was placed on the COVID-19 list at the start of the bye week and didn't have to miss any games. Byard has 64 tackles, five interceptions, a sack, 12 […]

Anthony Barr Says He's Playing Thursday

Minnesota Vikings linebacker Anthony Barr (hamstring) said he is playing on Thursday night in Week 14 against the Pittsburgh Steelers after tweaking his hamstring in Week 12 and sitting out the Week 13 loss to the Detroit Lions.

Hayden Hurst's Practice Window Opens

The Atlanta Falcons designated tight end Hayden Hurst (ankle) to return from Injured Reserve on Tuesday, opening up the team's 21-day window to activate him. Hurst has a good chance of rejoining the active roster for the Week 14 game against the Carolina Panthers after they released tight end Parker Hesse on Monday. Whenever he […]

Kenny Stills Waived, Kevin White Signed

The New Orleans Saints waived wide receiver Kenny Stills and defensive tackle Malcolm Roach on Tuesday. In a corresponding move, they re-signed wide receiver Kevin White to their practice squad. Stills played just 16% of the offensive snaps in last Thursday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys and wasn't able to haul in any of his […]

Ben Roethlisberger Back To Full Practice

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (pectoral, shoulder) got in a full practice on Tuesday after being listed as a DNP on Monday's estimated practice report. Roethlisberger has been following this scheduled for most of the season, but the only game he's missed in 2021 was after he tested positive for COVID-19. Big Ben will start […]

Dalvin Cook Puts In A Limited Practice

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (shoulder) was listed as a DNP on Monday's estimated practice report, but he was able to put in a limited practice on Tuesday.

David Njoku Placed On COVID-19 List

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku will be placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday, according to a source.

MLB Network's Jon Heyman also mentioned the Houston Astros as a team to have expressed interest in Story this offseason. Boston recently reached out to Carlos […]

T.J. Watt Is Special

Pittsburgh Steelers All-Pro pass-rusher T.J. Watt had 3.5 sacks in the Week 13 win over the Baltimore Ravens and leads the NFL with 16. For as much attention as Watt gets as a pure pass-rusher, it goes largely unnoticed that he also plays a big part in stopping the run with his ability to set […]

Ben Roethlisberger's Demise Premature?

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has had his share of struggles in what is likely to be his last season in the NFL, but the perception that Big Ben no longer belongs on the field on Sundays is grossly inaccurate, in the opinion of The Athletic's Mark Kaboly. Roethlisberger went 21-for-31 for 236 yards, two […]

Justin Fields' Week 14 Status Up In The Air

Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Justin Fields' (ribs) availability for Week 14 against the division-rival Green Bay Packers has been an "ongoing discussion all week long," according to head coach Matt Nagy.

Jeff Nixon To Take Over As Offensive Coordinator

Carolina Panthers coach Jeff Nixon will take over as the team's offensive coordinator after the team parted ways with offensive coordinator Joe Brady on Sunday.

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Emmanuel Moseley (ankle) will miss several weeks, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.

It's a big loss for the Niners secondary, as the 25-year-old leads the team with […]
