New Orleans Saints offensive guard Andrus Peat (pectoral) will undergo season-ending surgery on his torn pectoral on Friday, according to a source. Peat suffered the torn pectoral early on in the Monday night win over the Seattle Seahawks in Week 7. The injuries continue for Peat, as he's never played a full season in the […]

J.J. Watt Tore His Labrum, Bicep And Rotator Cuff

Arizona Cardinals defensive end J.J. Watt (shoulder), who will have season-ending surgery, actually tore his labrum, bicep and rotator cuff and suffered a dislocated shoulder in the Week 7 win over the Houston Texans, his old team. It's a huge loss for the Cardinals defense, as Watt was playing some of his best football in […]

Terrace Marshall Jr. Still In Concussion Protocol

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol and missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Marshall suffered his head injury in Week 6 and missed the Week 7 loss to the New York Giants. Unless he makes some big improvements and gets back on the […]

DeVante Parker Says He's Feeling Better

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker (hamstring, shoulder), who put in his second straight limited practice on Thursday, said he feels "good" but stopped short of saying he will definitely play in Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills. Parker has missed the last three games and said, "We have to wait and see what happens." […]

Julio Jones Still Missing Thursday

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday. Jones missed Weeks 4 and 5 with a bad hammy and continues to deal with the injury heading into a Week 8 matchup with the Indianapolis Colts. The 32-year-old has a history of nagging lower-body injuries and probably won't […]

Jonathan Taylor, Nyheim Hines Good To Go

Indianapolis Colts running backs Jonathan Taylor (ribs) and Nyheim Hines (ribs) both practiced in full on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. The Tennessee Titans, Indy's Week 8 opponent, have allowed just 233 rushing yards and one rushing TD on 41 attempts in the last three weeks, but Taylor is an elite RB1 asset in […]

T.Y. Hilton Returns To Practice Thursday

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (quadriceps) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after missing practice on Wednesday. Hilton made his season debut in Week 6 by catching all four of his targets for 80 yards, but he missed last week's win over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night. The limited practice gives […]

Teddy Bridgewater Dealing With Oblique Injury

Denver Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (oblique) was added to the Week 8 injury report, but he was able to get in a full practice on Thursday. The oblique is a new injury for Bridgewater, but it doesn't look like it will keep him from starting in a Week 8 matchup against the Washington Football Team. […]

D.K. Metcalf, Alex Collins Miss Practice Thursday

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf (foot) and running back Alex Collins (groin) were downgraded in practice on Thursday and were listed as not practicing. Metcalf practiced in full on Wednesday, and it's likely that the Seahawks were just resting him on Thursday. Collins was limited on Wednesday. Metcalf has eight catches on 12 targets […]

Jaylon Smith, Kevin King Inactive Thursday Night

Green Bay Packers linebacker Jaylon Smith and cornerback Kevin King (shoulder) are among the team's inactives on Thursday night against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 8. King will be missing his third straight game, and the team will also be without top cornerback Jaire Alexander (shoulder), so Arizona's passing attack could have a nice game […]

DeAndre Hopkins Officially Active Thursday Night

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) is officially active on Thursday night against the Green Bay Packers. Hopkins didn't practice at all this week, but he should still be the top target for quarterback Kyler Murray against a Packers defense that remains without top cornerbacks Jaire Alexander (shoulder) and Kevin King (shoulder). The bad […]

Austin Ekeler Added To Thursday's Injury Report

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (hip) was added to the Week 8 injury report on Thursday after he missed practice. Ekeler was a full participant in Wednesday's session, so this is pretty concerning. He comes off the team's Week 7 bye as the RB3 in terms of overall fantasy points with 73 carries […]

Jamaal Williams Limited By Thigh Issue Thursday

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams (thigh) popped up on the Week 8 injury report on Thursday and was limited in practice with a thigh injury after practicing in full on Wednesday. This is a new injury for Williams, so his practice status on Friday will be telling heading into a Week 8 matchup with […]

Baker Mayfield Making Good Progress

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield (shoulder) looked good on short and intermediate routes again in practice on Thursday and is making progress towards starting in Week 8 against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers. Mayfield missed last Thursday's win over the Denver Broncos with a fully torn labrum and fractured humerus bone in his left, non-throwing shoulder. […]

Eric Ebron Added To Week 8 Injury Report

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Eric Ebron (hamstring) was added to the team's Week 8 injury report on Thursday after he put in a limited practice. Ebron has become the No. 2 tight end for Pittsburgh with rookie Pat Freiermuth now in the mix. The rookie leads the Steelers tight ends with 18 catches on 20 […]

Chase Claypool Good To Go For Week 8

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool (hamstring) was practicing in full on Thursday after he was limited in Wednesday's session. Claypool's hamstring is still bothering him a bit coming out of the bye week, but he should be just fine for a Week 8 matchup with the division-rival Cleveland Browns. He's coming off a disappointing […]

Tevin Coleman Misses Another Practice

New York Jets running back Tevin Coleman (hamstring) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday. After coming into the season expected to be the Jets primary running back, Coleman has fallen to No. 3 on the running back depth chart behind Michael Carter and Ty Johnson. The 28-year-old also missed last week's loss […]

Corey Davis Added To Injury Report Thursday

New York Jets wide receiver Corey Davis (hip) was added to the Week 8 injury report on Thursday when he practiced on a limited basis. Mid-week injuries are usually never a good thing, but the fact that Davis was at least limited is good news. More worrisome for Davis' fantasy value moving forward will be […]

Antonio Brown Still Sidelined Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown (ankle) remained sidelined at practice on Thursday. Brown is dealing with a sprained ankle near his heal and is almost a lock to miss his second straight game this weekend against the New Orleans Saints before the team goes on bye in Week 9. Head coach Bruce Arians […]

Rob Gronkowski Practicing In Full

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski (lung, ribs) was bumped up to a full practice on Thursday after getting in a limited session on Wednesday. All signs are pointing towards Gronk making his return to action this weekend against the division-rival New Orleans Saints after missing the last four games due to a punctured […]

Packers Not Expected To Activate Marquez Valdes-Scantling

The Green Bay Packers are not expected to activate wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) from Injured Reserve before Thursday night's game against the Arizona Cardinals, according to a source. Green Bay will be also be without Davante Adams and Allen Lazard, who are both on the COVID-19 list. As a result, quarterback Aaron Rodgers will […]

Miles Sanders Absent From Practice Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (ankle) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday and doesn't appear likely to play in Week 8 against the Detroit Lions. Sanders was carted off the field with a low ankle sprain in last week's loss to the Las Vegas Raiders and is week-to-week. With the 24-year-old […]

DeVonta Smith Back At Practice Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver DeVonta Smith returned to practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session with a headache. We were never really worried that a headache would cause Smith to miss the Week 8 game against the winless Detroit Lions. The first-round rookie has an excellent opportunity to post his second 100-yard game this […]

Curtis Samuel, Dyami Brown Miss Another Practice Thursday

Washington Football Team wide receivers Curtis Samuel (groin) and Dyami Brown (knee) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Samuel has been bothered by his groin injury since June and has only played in two games in his first season in Washington. If he doesn't improve soon, he'll be a candidate to land […]

Deebo Samuel Back At Practice Thursday

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (calf) was on the field on Thursday for the portion of practice open to the media after he sat out of Wednesday's practice. The 49ers were optimistic on Wednesday that Samuel would be fine for this weekend's game against the Chicago Bears, and his return to the practice […]

David Johnson, Phillip Lindsay To Have Bigger Roles

Houston Texans running backs David Johnson and Phillip Lindsay will have bigger roles moving forward after the team traded Mark Ingram II to the New Orleans Saints. Through seven weeks, Ingram led the team with 294 rushing yards despite averaging only 3.2 yards per carry. Johnson is expected to be the feature back with Ingram […]

Giants Optimistic On Kenny Golladay, Kadarius Toney

New York Giants head coach Joe Judge said that wide receivers Kenny Golladay (knee) and Kadarius Toney (ankle) are making "good progress" and that he's "pretty optimistic" about them heading into Week 8 against the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday night. Judge stopped short of commenting about their availability on Monday, but he's optimistic that […]

Giants Optimistic About Saquon Barkley

New York Giants head coach Joe Judge said that running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) is making "good progress," and he's "pretty optimistic" about him heading into a Monday night meeting with the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 8. Barkley has a chance to return to practice on Friday after sitting out on Thursday, but it […]

Dak Prescott Believes He Can Play Against Vikings

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (calf) believes he can play in Week 8 against the Minnesota Vikings, although he's not sure "if it's just my decision." Prescott suffered a right calf strain late in the Week 6 win over the New England Patriots, but he had the bye week to recover and should be fine […]

Patrick Mahomes Good To Go For Monday Night

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that there are no injury concerns for quarterback Patrick Mahomes (head), and he is good to go for Monday night's game against the New York Giants. Mahomes took an ugly hit late in the Week 7 loss to the Tennessee Titans and was slow to get up. […]
