Damien Harris Good To Go For Thursday Night

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris has cleared the league's concussion protocol and is good to go for Thursday night's game against the Atlanta Falcons to kick off Week 11 action.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) was still absent at practice on Wednesday in the portion open to the media.

Lamar Jackson Sent Home With Illness

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was sent home on Wednesday with a non-COVID-19-related illness, and he will not practice with the team.

Cordarrelle Patterson Will Be A Game-Time Decision

Atlanta Falcons head coach Arthur Smith said that running back Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Thursday night's game against the New England Patriots.

49ers Waive Dre Kirkpatrick Tuesday

The San Francisco 49ers waived cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick on Tuesday. In a corresponding move, the team could open linebacker Dre Greenlaw's (groin) 21-day practice window to return from Injured Reserve.

Cordarrelle Patterson Limited Tuesday

Atlanta Falcons running back Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) was listed as a limited participant in Tuesday's practice.

Pittsburgh Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick is unlikely to be available for the Week 11 game against the Los Angeles Chargers after testing positive for COVID-19, according to head coach Mike Tomlin.

Justin Verlander A Fit For The Angels?

The Los Angeles Angels are interested in big arms on short-term deals, which could make free-agent starting pitcher Justin Verlander a fit for them. Verlander is expected to turn down the Houston Astros' one-year, $18.4 million qualifying offer by Wednesday's deadline. The Halos just signed oft-injured, hard-throwing righty Noah Syndergaard to a one-year, $21 million […]
