Darren Waller Misses Practice Wednesday

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller wasn't at practice on Wednesday. Waller wasn't believed to have suffered an injury in the Week 5 loss to the Chicago Bears, so the reasoning for his missed practice is unclear. We'll continue to monitor the situation throughout the week. There's a chance that the Raiders are just […]

T.J. Hockenson Not Practicing Wednesday

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. Hockenson also missed practice last Wednesday but was limited the rest of the week and played in the Week 5 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. It was another disappointing game, though, as he caught just two passes for 22 yards. Both Hockenson's injury […]

Joe Mixon Gets In Some Work Wednesday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (ankle) worked with the running backs in drills toward the end of media availability during the team's practice on Wednesday. It doesn't sound like Mixon got in a full practice, but he did get some work in. If he can increase his activity throughout the week, he should be […]

David Njoku Sitting Out With Knee Injury

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) missed practice on Wednesday with a knee injury. Njoku was a popular waiver-wire pickup at the weakest position in fantasy after he went off for seven catches, 149 yards and a touchdown in the Week 5 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. The Browns may be just resting […]

Nick Chubb, Kareem Hunt Not Practicing

Cleveland Browns running backs Nick Chubb (calf) and Kareem Hunt (knee, wrist) both sat out of practice on Wednesday. It's unknown if either Chubb or Hunt are in danger of missing Week 6 against the Arizona Cardinals, but we'll continue to monitor their status throughout the week. Chubb had a monster day in the Week […]

Dyami Brown Returns To Practice Wednesday

Washington Football Team rookie wide receiver Dyami Brown (knee) returned to a limited practice on Wednesday after sitting out of the Week 5 loss to the New Orleans Saints. Brown injured his knee in Week 4, but it looks like he might only end up missing one game. The third-round pick has just five catches […]

Antonio Gibson, Curtis Samuel Not Practicing

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson (shin) and wide receiver Curtis Samuel (groin) did not practice on Wednesday. Gibson is dealing with a hairline fracture in his shin but has been playing through it, carrying the ball 20 times for 60 yards and two touchdowns in the Week 5 loss to the New Orleans […]

T.Y. Hilton Returning To Practice This Week

The Indianapolis Colts are activating wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (neck) to return to practice this week. Hilton remains on Injured Reserve, but this is a good sign moving forward. The 31-year-old pass-catcher is getting close to making his 2021 debut, but it's unlikely to come in Week 6 against the Houston Texans. Perhaps he can […]

Tyreek Hill Missing Practice Wednesday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (quadriceps) was missing from Wednesday's practice after getting injured in the Week 5 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night. Hill's injury isn't considered serious, though, and he managed to play 84.9% of the offensive snaps, tops among KC receivers against Buffalo. He finished the game with […]

The Seattle Seahawks are expected to release former starting cornerback Tre Flowers, according to a source.

Kadarius Toney Looking Good At Practice

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Kadarius Toney (ankle) looked good while taking part in practice on Wednesday. He's expected to continue having a big role after he caught 10 of 13 targets for 189 yards in the Week 5 loss to the Dallas Cowboys before being ejected for throwing a punch. Running back Saquon […]

Darius Slayton Returns To Practice

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring) returned to practice on Wednesday, and ESPN New York's Jordan Raanan expects both Slayton and Sterling Shepard (hamstring) to return in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Rams after they both missed the last two weeks. In two full games this year, Slayton has six catches on […]

Sterling Shepard Expects To Return This Week

"Back this week and hopefully we can get the W," Shepard said. Shepard is back at practice on Wednesday and looks ready to return after missing the last two […]

Laremy Tunsil To Miss Around A Month

Houston Texans head coach David Culley said that left tackle Laremy Tunsil (thumb) will have surgery to fix a fully torn UCL in his thumb and will be out for around a month. Tunsil initially said he was hoping to play through his thumb injury, but that won't be the case with surgery needed. The […]

Tyrod Taylor Is The Starter When Healthy

Houston Texans head coach David Culley said that quarterback Tyrod Taylor (hamstring) will be the team's starter over rookie Davis Mills when he's healthy. Taylor has been making good progress, but he remains week-to-week and isn't expected to return from Injured Reserve to face the Indianapolis Colts in Week 6. In the season-opening win over […]

DeVante Parker To Miss Practice Wednesday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker (shoulder) will not practice on Wednesday after he missed the Week 5 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Parker is not off to a great start this week if he wants to return this Sunday to face the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. We should have a better idea about […]

Frank Ragnow Officially Done For The Season

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said that center Frank Ragnow (toe) had successful season-ending surgery on his toe on Tuesday. Detroit has had terrible injury luck early in the season, and losing the former first-rounder has already been a huge blow to the Lions offense. Ragnow is one of the NFL's best centers and […]

Saquon Barkley, Kenny Golladay Won't Practice Wednesday

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) and wide receiver Kenny Golladay (knee) will not practice on Wednesday. Barkley suffered a low ankle sprain and was carted off the field and Golladay hyperextended his knee in the Week 5 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Both players are expected to miss the Week 6 game […]

Washington Adds Corn Elder To Active Roster

The Washington Football Team signed veteran cornerback Corn Elder to their active roster on Wednesday off of the Carolina Panthers practice squad, according to his agent. The move comes after Washington placed Darryl Roberts (quadriceps) on Injured Reserve. A fifth-round pick by the Panthers in 2017, Elder managed 40 tackles (28 solo), three passes defensed […]

Tua Tagovailoa Expected To Practice Wednesday

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) is expected to practice on Wednesday after being designated to return from Injured Reserve on Tuesday. Tagovailoa looked good throwing the football on Monday, and the Dolphins are hopeful that he can start in Week 6 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The second-year signal-caller fractured some ribs in Week 2 […]

Daniel Jones Won't Practice Wednesday

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (concussion) won't practice or be on the field on Wednesday, but head coach Joe Judge said that he is "on track with everything." If everything progresses this week, it's possible that Jones will be cleared to play in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Rams. The 24-year-old took a […]

Xavier Rhodes, Andrew Sendejo In Concussion Protocol

Indianapolis Colts cornerback Xavier Rhodes and safety Andrew Sendejo are both in the league's concussion protocol following their Week 5 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night, according to head coach Frank Reich. Defensive back Rock Ya-Sin (ankle) also missed Monday's game, so Indy's secondary could be dangerously thin for a Week 6 date […]

Lane Johnson Not A Lock To Return This Year

Philadelphia Eagles left tackle Lane Johnson isn't a lock to return this season while dealing with a personal matter, according to center Jason Kelce. Johnson has been out of action while tending to a personal matter the next two weeks, and there is no return in sight. It's surely a downgrade for Philadelphia's offensive line […]

Jeremiah Attaochu Out For The Season

Chicago Bears outside linebacker Jeremiah Attaochu (pectoral) suffered a torn pectoral muscle in the Week 5 win over the Las Vegas Raiders and is out for the rest of the season, according to a source.

Chandler Jones Placed On COVID-19 List

The Arizona Cardinals placed star pass-rusher Chandler Jones on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday due to a positive test. Jones must deliver two negative tests at least 24 hours apart and show no symptoms in order to be cleared to play in Week 6 against the Cleveland Browns. The 31-year-old went off for five sacks […]

Saints Sign Kicker Brian Johnson

The New Orleans Saints signed kicker Brian Johnson off the Chicago Bears practice squad on Tuesday, according to a source.

49ers Release Jacques Patrick

The San Francisco 49ers waived running back Jacques Patrick and cornerback Davontae Harris on Tuesday.

The 24-year-old played just six snaps […]

Chris Moore Signed To Active Roster

The Houston Texans signed wide receiver Chris Moore to their active 53-man roster on Tuesday after he broke out for five catches, 109 yards and a touchdown in the Week 5 loss to the New England Patriots.

Bengals Bring In Elijah Holyfield
