Lamar Jackson Returns To Practice Friday

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (illness) returned to practice on Friday. Jackson gave fantasy managers a little scare on Thursday when he wasn't seen at practice, but he was dealing with a non-COVID-19-related illness and is on track to play in the Week 6 showdown with the Los Angeles Chargers. The 24-year-old could draw a […]

Daniel Jones To Practice In Full, Appears Ready To Play

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (concussion) is expected to be a full practice participant on Friday and "appears" ready to play in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Rams after suffering a concussion in the Week 5 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, according to head coach Joe Judge.

Damien Williams Tested Positive For COVID-19

Chicago Bears running back Damien Williams, who was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday, tested positive for the virus, according to a source.

Bengals Claim Tre Flowers Off Waivers

The Cincinnati Bengals claimed cornerback Tre Flowers off waivers from the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday. Flowers requested his release after being demoted from a starting role early this season in Seattle. The former fifth-round pick in 2018 will provide valuable depth and experience for the Bengals secondary. Flowers had 212 tackles (172 solo), three interceptions, […]

Deon Yelder Brought Up From Practice Squad

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers elevated tight end Deon Yelder from the practice squad to the active roster for Thursday night's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Bucs already have Cameron Brate and O.J. Howard, but Yelder will provide some more depth at the position with Rob Gronkowski (lung, ribs) set to miss his third straight […]

T.Y. Hilton Contemplated Retirement

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (neck), who remains on Injured Reserve with a neck injury, said he contemplated retirement over the last few months. He decided against it after talking with former quarterback Andrew Luck, and Hilton has returned to practice the last few days. However, the 31-year-old pass-catcher has pumped the brakes on […]

Damien Harris Back At Practice

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (ribs) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session. The Patriots announced that Harris' injury wasn't serious on Monday, so it's not a huge surprise that he's on track to play in Week 6 against the Dallas Cowboys. But even if the 24-year-old plays this […]

Allen Robinson II Absent Again Thursday

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson II (ankle) is missing his second straight day of practice on Thursday. Robinson is questionable to play this weekend against the division-rival Green Bay Packers, but a limited practice on Friday would put him on the right side of questionable. The 28-year-old has pretty much been an afterthought in […]

Mike Williams Not Practicing Again Thursday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (knee) is missing his second straight day of practice on Thursday. Williams is now looking very questionable for the Week 6 showdown against the Baltimore Ravens. The No. 1 fantasy wideout through five weeks will need at least a limited practice on Friday to ease everyone's concerns about […]

Dalvin Cook, Alexander Mattison Both Upgraded Thursday

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (ankle) returned to a full practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Cook missed the Week 5 win over the Detroit Lions, but it looks like he'll be back this Sunday against the Carolina Panthers.

Melvin Gordon III Returning To Limited Practice

Denver Broncos head coach Vic Fangio said that running back Melvin Gordon III (hip) will return to a limited practice participant on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday with a new hip ailment.

Jamaal Williams Downgraded Thursday

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams (hip, illness) missed practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Williams is now dealing with an illness, but it doesn't appear related to COVID-19. As long as he gets in a limited practice on Friday, he should be fine to play in Week 6 against the Cincinnati Bengals. […]

A.J. Brown, Julio Jones Practicing In Full

Tennessee Titans wide receivers A.J. Brown (hamstring) and Julio Jones (hamstring) were both full participants in practice on Thursday. It's more notable for Jones, who has missed the last two games. He's now on track to play on Monday night against the Buffalo Bills. Brown was able to return last week but caught just three […]

DeAndre Hopkins Out Again With Illness

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (illness) remained out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday with a non-COVID-19-related illness. It's concerning that Hopkins has missed two straight practices this week, but as long as he can return to practice Friday, he'll still have a good shot at playing in Week 6 against […]

Adam Thielen Gets In Some Work Thursday

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (foot) ran some routes at the start of practice on Thursday before walking off for injury rehab. It doesn't sound like Thielen did much, but at least he was on the practice field for a little bit. Justin Jefferson (ankle) was limited and said he expects to play in […]

Khalil Herbert Could Have A Huge Role In Week 6

Chicago Bears rookie running back Khalil Herbert could be in line for heavy usage in the Week 6 game against the Green Bay Packers after the Bears put Damien Williams on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday. David Montgomery (knee) remains on Injured Reserve. Herbert, who had 18 carries for 75 yards in the Week 5 […]

Bears Place Damien Williams On COVID-19 List

The Chicago Bears placed running back Damien Williams on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday. The Bears are already without David Montgomery (knee), who is on Injured Reserve, so rookie Khalil Herbert is now in position to start in a dream matchup against the Green Bay Packers this Sunday. It's unclear if Williams tested positive for […]

Antonio Gibson Not Limited By Shin Injury

Washington Football Team offensive coordinator Scott Turner said running back Antonio Gibson (shin) has not been limited by a hairline fracture in his shin. "No. He's good. He's not limited. We take care of him during the week and we make sure he's ready to go, but as of now once Sunday hits he's ready […]

Lamar Jackson Not Spotted At Practice Thursday

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was not spotted at the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday. It's unknown if Jackson is actually dealing with an injury or if there is something else keeping him off the field, but we'll keep you updated when more information comes out. The 24-year-old superstar put on […]

Christian McCaffrey Not At Practice Thursday

There was no sign of Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) at the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday. McCaffrey has been limited in the last four practices as he recovers from his hamstring strain, so this isn't a good sign as he hopes to return in Week 6 against the […]

Justin Jefferson Expects To Play Sunday

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson (ankle), who missed practice on Wednesday, said he will be limited on Thursday and expects to play in Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers. Fantasy managers got a little spooked on Wednesday with his missed practice, but fret not, the 22-year-old should remain glued to all starting fantasy lineups […]

T.J. Hockenson Practicing On Thursday

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson (knee) returned to practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session. Hockenson has been bothered by a knee injury in recent weeks. While he has played through the injury, the 24-year-old hasn't found the end zone since Week 2 and has only eight receptions on 13 targets for 74 yards […]

DeVante Parker Trending In The Wrong Direction

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker (hamstring, shoulder) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Parker was unable to play in the Week 5 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and looks headed for another absence this Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. He'll need to at least practice on a limited […]

Tyreek Hill Misses Another Practice

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (quadriceps) will miss his second straight day of practice on Thursday. Hill was believed to have suffered a minor injury in the Sunday night loss to the Buffalo Bills, but his status is in question for a Week 6 tilt with the Washington Football Team. The 27-year-old speedster […]

Saquon Barkley, Kenny Golladay Out Again Thursday

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) and wide receiver Kenny Golladay (knee) were both missing from practice on Thursday for the second straight day.

Curtis Samuel A No-Show Again Thursday

Washington Football Team wide receiver Curtis Samuel (groin) remained out of practice on Thursday during the media-viewing portion.

Antonio Gibson Back At Practice Thursday

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson (shin) is back at practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday.

Daniel Jones Returns To Limited Practice Thursday

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (concussion) was the first QB in every drill on Thursday and will be listed as limited on the final practice report. According to The Athletic's Dan Duggan, it looks like Jones will play in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Rams unless he has some sort of setback. The […]

Lance McCullers Jr.'s MRI Gives Positive News

Houston Astros starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. (forearm) should be fine in the long run after undergoing an MRI exam, but there's still no word on whether he will be able to pitch during the rest of the postseason.
