Elijah Mitchell To Be Limited Wednesday With Hip Issue

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Elijah Mitchell (rib) is dealing with a rib issue and will be limited in practice on Wednesday to begin the week.

Deebo Samuel Will Be Monitored This Week

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (calf) and left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) will be monitored as the week goes on again, similar to what the team did last week, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.

Rob Gronkowski Probably Shouldn't Have Played In Week 8

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that tight end Rob Gronkowski (back), like cornerback Richard Sherman (hamstring), "probably shouldn't have played" in the Week 8 loss to the New Orleans Saints, but the team is hopeful that Gronk will be back and healthy after the bye in Week 9.

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (foot) will have foot surgery on Tuesday morning and is expected to be out for six to 10 weeks. There is a belief that Henry will be back at some point this season, but the timeline of six weeks is probably too soon. A return in the eight- to […]

Tyron Smith Questionable To Return Against Vikings

Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith (ankle) is questionable to return for the remainder of the Sunday night game against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 8. The 30-year-old came into the game as questionable with an injury to the same ankle, so it's likely that he aggravated it. Don't be surprised if he doesn't return […]

Danielle Hunter Ruled Out Sunday Night

Minnesota Vikings defensive end Danielle Hunter (shoulder) was ruled out for the second half of the Sunday night game against the Dallas Cowboys after suffering a shoulder injury in the first half.

Danielle Hunter Questionable To Return Sunday Night

Minnesota Vikings defensive end Danielle Hunter (shoulder) is questionable to return to the Sunday night game against the Dallas Cowboys with a shoulder injury. Hunter came into this game with team-leading six sacks, 33 tackles (20 solo) and 10 QB hits, so it will be great news for Cowboys backup quarterback Cooper Rush and the […]

Broncos Defense Steps Up Against Washington

The Denver Broncos defense had an impressive performance in the 17-10 win over the Washington Football Team in Week 8 on Sunday. And they did it without star linebacker Von Miller (ankle), who was held out after suffering an ankle injury in the Week 7 loss to the Cleveland Browns. Not only did they allow […]

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant had his worst game of the 2021 season in the 17-10 win over the Washington Football Team in Week 8 on Sunday. Fant was tied for the team lead with four targets, but he caught just two of them for a season-low eight yards. Backup tight end Albert Okwuegbunam […]

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy returned from a high ankle sprain that he suffered in the season opener to lead the team with four catches (four targets) for 39 yards in the 17-10 Week 8 win over the Washington Football Team. The 22-year-old former first-rounder last year also tied a team-high with his four […]

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton was a big disappointment in the 17-10 win over the Washington Football Team in Week 8, catching two of his four targets for 40 yards on Sunday.

Jameis Winston Dealing With ACL Injury

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston (knee) suffered damage to his ACL in the Week 8 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and he might also be dealing with damage to his MCL.

Tim Patrick Surprisingly Leads Broncos In Receiving

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick had only three targets in the 17-10 win over the Washington Football Team in Week 8, but he caught all three of those targets and led the team in receiving yards with 64 on a day in which quarterback Teddy Bridgewater only threw for 213 yards. Four players had […]

Javonte Williams Held In Check By Washington

Denver Broncos rookie running back Javonte Williams had nine carries (one fewer than Melvin Gordon) for 35 yards (3.9 yards per carry) in the 17-10 Week 8 win over the Washington Football Team.

Melvin Gordon III Carries Offense With Two Touchdowns

Jameis Winston's Knee Injury Could Be Season-Ending

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton described quarterback Jameis Winston's (knee) injury as "significant," and it could be a season-ending situation. It didn't look good when a defender pulled him down on an illegal horse-collar tackle that caused his knee to buckle, and he was eventually carted into the locker room and never returned […]

Teddy Bridgewater Has Underwhelming Game Against Washington

Denver Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater failed to take advantage of a Washington Football Team defense that had been very generous to opposing QBs for much of the season. Bridgewater completed just 19 of his 26 passing attempts for 213 yards and one touchdown in the 17-10 victory in Week 8. The good news is that […]

Dede Westbrook Inactive Sunday Night

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Dede Westbrook (ankle) is officially inactive on Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys after coming into the Week 8 contest with a questionable tag.
