Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Dede Westbrook (knee), who is recovering from a torn ACL last October, was a full practice participant on Wednesday.

Justin Jefferson Good To Go For Week 1

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson (shoulder) is no longer listed on the team's official injury report and should be good to go for the Week 1 season opener against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Jordan Whitehead Ruled Out For Buccaneers Defense

Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Jordan Whitehead (hamstring) has been ruled out for the season-opener on Thursday night against the Dallas Cowboys. Whitehead was in the league's COVID-19 protocols during training camp and recently suffered a minor hamstring strain that will keep him out this week. Because the injury isn't serious, the 24-year-old defensive back will […]

Parris Campbell Limited With Achilles Injury

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Parris Campbell (Achilles) was limited in practice with an Achilles injury that is more of a lingering issue than something that he suffered in practice on Wednesday. Unless the injury gets worse throughout the week, Campbell is expected to start as the team's No. 3 wideout in Week 1 against the […]

Za'Darius Smith In Danger Of Missing Week 1?

Green Bay Packers linebacker Za'Darius Smith (back) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Wednesday, and his status could be in question for the regular season opener this Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. Smith spent most of training camp on the Non-Football Injury list with a back problem, so it wouldn't be […]

Mekhi Becton Practicing In Full

New York Jets left tackle Mekhi Becton (concussion) is practicing in full on Wednesday and has been cleared for the Week 1 season opener against the Carolina Panthers. Becton started 13 games at left tackle for the Jets in his rookie season after being the 11th overall pick in the 2020 draft. The 6-foot-7, 364-pounder […]

A.J. Brown Misses Practice Wednesday

Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) did not take part in the team's practice on Wednesday. The Titans could just be giving Brown some extra rest before the start of the 2021 regular season this Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, but his practice participation is worth monitoring the rest of the week. If he's […]

Saquon Barkley Limited Wednesday

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (knee) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Barkley went down with a torn ACL and MCL in his knee in Week 2 of last year and missed the rest of the season. He was able to take part in a full-contact practice last week and […]

Evan Engram Won't Practice Wednesday

New York Giants head coach Joe Judge said that tight end Evan Engram (calf) will not practice on Wednesday. Engram will work with the team's training staff, and the team will revisit on Thursday.

Chris Godwin Not On Final Injury Report

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (quadriceps) practiced in full on Wednesday and was removed from the final injury report for the season-opener on Thursday night against the Dallas Cowboys. Godwin was listed as limited on Tuesday, but the injury obviously isn't serious, and he'll be out there to kick off the 2021 season. […]

Kenny Golladay Practicing Wednesday

New York Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay (hamstring) was able to take part in individual drills at practice on Wednesday. The former Detroit Lions wideout returned to practice last week after missing most of training camp and all of the preseason with a hamstring strain. Unless he suffers a setback this week, all signs are […]

Kadarius Toney On The Practice Field Wednesday

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstring) was on the practice field on Wednesday. COVID-19 and a hamstring injury kept Toney sidelined for the entire preseason, so fantasy managers in dynasty/keeper leagues shouldn't be expecting a whole lot from the rookie out of the gates. Toney, the 20th overall pick in this year's […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire 100 Percent Healthy And Ready To Go

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle), who dealt with an ankle injury last month, said he's "100 percent" healthy and "ready to go" for Week 1 against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.

Star Lotulelei Not A Sure Thing For Week 1

Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Star Lotulelei (calf) missed his second straight day of practice on Wednesday with a calf injury. The Bills remain optimistic that Lotulelei will be available for the season opener on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but we'd call him questionable for now. He'll likely need to get in some sort of […]

Carson Wentz Practicing In Full, Will Be Ready For Week 1

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz (foot) will be a full practice participant on Wednesday, according to head coach Frank Reich. Wentz will be on the field in Week 1 for his Colts debut against the Seattle Seahawks.

Steelers Optimistic On Long-Term Deal For T.J. Watt

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said that he's optimistic that the team will get a long-term contract extension worked out with star linebacker T.J.

Bradley Roby Being Traded To The Saints

The New Orleans Saints are acquiring cornerback Bradley Roby from the Houston Texans on Wednesday, according to sources.

Rhamondre Stevenson Dealing With Dislocated Thumb

New England Patriots rookie running back Rhamondre Stevenson (thumb) suffered a dislocated thumb in practice last week, according to a source.

Minnesota Vikings defensive end Danielle Hunter (neck), who missed all of last season after suffering a cervical herniated disc in his neck during training camp, is back and ready to go for the 2021 season.

Chris Herndon Listed As Third Tight End

Minnesota Vikings tight end Chris Herndon is listed as third on the team's tight end depth chart behind starter Tyler Conklin and backup Brandon Dillon as we inch closer to the Week 1 season opener. It's understandable for Herndon to be buried on the depth chart after he was just acquired from the New York […]

Seahawks, Duane Brown Reach Agreement On Reworked Contract

The Seattle Seahawks and offensive tackle Duane Brown reached an agreement on Tuesday on a reworked contract that maxes out at $12 million for this season, according to a source.

Mark Andrews Agrees To Four-Year Extension

The Baltimore Ravens and Pro Bowl tight end Mark Andrews agreed to a four-year contract extension worth $56 million on Monday, according to sources.
