Wander Franco Signs Record 12-Year Extension With Rays

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco signed a 12-year, $223 million contract extension with the team on Tuesday. Franco won't turn 21 years old until next March. He's that good, folks.

John Means Available Via Trade?

Other teams are saying that the Baltimore Orioles are dangling left-hander John Means on the trade market.

Trey Mancini Wins AL Comeback Player Of The Year

Baltimore Orioles outfielder/first baseman Trey Mancini was named the American League Comeback Player of the Year for 2021 on Monday.

Jason Garrett On The Hot Seat In New York?

New York Giants head coach Joe Judge didn't exactly back offensive coordinator Jason Garrett after the team's 30-10 Monday night loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Giants only had one touchdown that continued a pattern of poor offensive production since Garrett was hired last year. When asked if he had faith in Garrett as […]

Scotty Miller Activated From Injured Reserve

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are activating wide receiver Scotty Miller (toe) from Injured Reserve on Tuesday and will release long-snapper Carson Tinker in a corresponding move. Miller has missed the team's last seven games while recovering from a turf-toe injury he suffered in Week 3 against the Los Angeles Rams. He had just two catches […]

Kyle Rudolph Injures Ankle Monday Night

New York Giants tight end Kyle Rudolph (ankle) injured his ankle in the Monday night game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and will not return.

Surgery Imminent For Tre Smith

Seattle Seahawks rookie cornerback Tre Smith (knee) will likely miss the rest of the 2021 season with a patellar injury that is expected to need surgery. The fourth-rounder suffered the injury in the second quarter of the Week 11 loss to the Arizona Cardinals and never returned to the game. He was replaced in the […]

Chargers Place Linval Joseph On COVID-19 List

The Los Angeles Chargers placed defensive tackle Linval Joseph on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday.

The 33-year-old joins defensive linemen Jerry Tillery and Christian Covington […]

Cardinals Sign Trace McSorley To Active Roster

The Arizona Cardinals signed quarterback Trace McSorley off the Baltimore Ravens practice squad and to their active roster on Monday, according to a source. Kyler Murray (ankle) has missed the last three games with a sprained ankle, but he's expected to be good to go coming out of the team's bye in Week 12. McSorley […]

David Bakhtiari Won't Play In Week 12

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that left tackle David Bakhtiari (ankle) won't play in Week 12 against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.

Tyron Smith Expected To Play Thursday

The Dallas Cowboys expect left tackle Tyron Smith (ankle) to play in Week 12 against the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday for the Thanksgiving game. "Barring some unforeseen setback this week, he should be ready to play this Thursday," vice president Stephen Jones said on 105.3 The Fan. The Cowboys don't see Smith's injury as […]

Garrett Bolles Tests Positive For COVID-19

Denver Broncos left tackle Garrett Bolles has tested positive for COVID-19, according to a source. Bolles was placed on the league's Reserve/COVID-19 list as a result. The 29-year-old is vaccinated, so he could be eligible to play in Week 12 against the Los Angeles Chargers if he tests negative twice and remains asymptomatic before Sunday's […]

Bradley Chubb Returns To Practice

Denver Broncos head coach Vic Fangio said that pass-rusher Bradley Chubb (ankle) practiced on Monday after being on Injured Reserve.

The 25-year-old hasn't played since Week […]

Ali Marpet Won't Return To Monday's Action

Tampa Bay Buccaneers left guard Ali Marpet (oblique) was injured on Monday night against the New York Giants and has been ruled out for the rest of the game. With the quick rule-out and on a short week going into Week 12, Marpet may have to miss Tampa's next game as well. Aaron Stinnie will […]

Jalen Richard Listed As Limited Monday

Las Vegas Raiders running back Jalen Richard (ribs) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report. Richard didn't play in the Week 11 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, and it allowed Peyton Barber to get back in the running back mix behind Josh Jacobs and Kenyan Drake. It looks as though Richard […]

Daniel Carlson Misses Practice Monday

Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson (illness) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report. It remains to be seen if Carlson's injury will keep him from playing on Thursday against the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving, but we'll have a better idea of his status for the Week 12 game when the team […]

Chris Carson Needs Disc Fusion For His Neck

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (neck) is scheduled to undergo a disc fusion in his neck, according to head coach Pete Carroll. The Seahawks have been told that Carson could be back on the field in late spring of 2022. Carson has yet to have the surgery. The 27-year-old has been on Injured Reserve […]

Cole Beasley Limited On Monday

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley (ribs) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report. Beasley hasn't missed any time due to his rib injury, but it has been clear that the injury has slowed him down in recent weeks. He barely played in the second half in Week 9 after getting […]

Darnell Mooney Listed As Limited Monday

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney (foot) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report. With Allen Robinson II (hamstring) inactive in Week 11, Mooney led the team with five catches on a season-high 16 targets for 121 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the Baltimore Ravens. It was his […]

Damien Williams Unable To Practice Monday

Chicago Bears running back Damien Williams (calf) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report. Williams missed his second straight game in the Week 11 loss to the Baltimore Ravens and is probably fighting an uphill battle to be active for the Thanksgiving game this Thursday against the Detroit Lions. Even if Williams […]

Allen Robinson II Misses Practice Monday

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson II (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report. Robinson was inactive for the Week 11 loss to the Baltimore Ravens and could be fighting an uphill battle to be ready for Thursday's Thanksgiving game against the Detroit Lions. The 28-year-old could be a fantasy sleeper […]

Justin Fields Gets A DNP Monday

Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Justin Fields (ribs) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report. X-rays came back negative for broken ribs after the first-rounder was injured in the Week 11 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, but on a short week this Thursday against the Detroit Lions, it's looking unlikely that Fields will […]

Jermar Jefferson Could Return In Week 12

Detroit Lions rookie running back Jermar Jefferson (ankle, knee) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report. Jefferson sat out of the Week 11 loss to the Cleveland Browns, but he could be on the right track to return for a Thursday morning game against the Chicago Bears on Thursday. The rookie […]

Jared Goff Limited Monday

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff (oblique) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report. Goff suffered an oblique strain during pregame workouts in Week 10 and was inactive for the Week 11 loss to the Cleveland Browns. It remains to be seen if Goff will be healthy enough to start on Thursday […]

Ezekiel Elliott Listed As Limited Monday

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (knee) was listed as limited on Monday's estimated practice report. Elliott suffered an ugly looking ankle injury in the Week 11 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. He spent some time on the sidelines trying to get it loosened up and eventually returned, though, so unless Zeke suffers a […]

CeeDee Lamb Earns DNP Monday

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (concussion) was listed as not practicing on the team's estimated Monday practice report. Lamb suffered a concussion in the Week 11 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs and didn't return in the second half, making it unlikely that he'll pass through the league's concussion protocol on a short week […]
