Free-agent cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick is working out for the Houston Texans on Friday, according to a source.

Taylor Decker Looks Set To Miss Week 1

Detroit Lions left tackle Taylor Decker (finger) looks set to miss the regular season opener on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers after suffering a finger injury that kept him out of practice on Thursday.

Bradley Chubb Could Be Questionable For Week 1

Denver Broncos linebacker Bradley Chubb (ankle) had offseason surgery on his ankle, but he tweaked his other ankle in the team's preseason finale against the Los Angeles Rams and was limited in practice on Thursday.

Tyrann Mathieu Up In The Air For Sunday

Kansas City Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu remains up in the air for Sunday's season-opener against the Cleveland Browns. Mathieu is vaccinated, but he remains on the league's COVID-19 list and must return two negative tests 48 hours apart in order to be cleared before Sunday. The 29-year-old also must remain asymptomatic. The deadline to activate […]

Marcus Peters Suffers Torn ACL Thursday

Tests confirmed that Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marcus Peters (knee) suffered a season-ending torn ACL at practice on Thursday, according to a source.

With Baltimore Ravens starting running back Gus Edwards (knee) suffering a torn ACL in practice on Thursday, head coach John Harbaugh said that Le'Veon Bell has "a chance" to be active for the team's Week 1 matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday night. The Ravens have now lost Edwards, J.K. Dobbins and Justice […]

Evan Engram Misses Another Practice

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (calf) did not practice for the second straight day on Thursday, another sign that he's trending toward missing the Week 1 season-opener on Sunday afternoon against the Denver Broncos. Earlier this week, Engram was considered a long shot to suit up against the Broncos, so fantasy managers should've […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Not On The Injury Report

New England Patriots rookie running back Rhamondre Stevenson (thumb) is not on the team's official injury report ahead of Week 1 against the Miami Dolphins despite recently suffering a dislocated thumb during practice last week. As a result, the fourth-round pick should be active for his first NFL game this Sunday. The 23-year-old rookie is […]

Maxx Williams Ready For Season-Opener

Arizona Cardinals tight end Maxx Williams (illness) is not listed on the team's official injury report ahead of their Week 1 meeting with the Tennessee Titans. Williams missed the team's second preseason game with a non-COVID-19 illness, and the team had their final preseason game postponed due to Hurricane Ida in New Orleans. The seventh-year […]

Darnell Mooney Dealing With Back Injury

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney (back) was a limited practice participant on Wednesday due to a back injury. Mooney was able to escape training camp and the preseason without any injuries, but he's nursing a back injury that doesn't sound too serious ahead of a Week 1 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. As […]

Mecole Hardman Limited With Oblique Ailment

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman (oblique) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Hardman managed to avoid injuries in training camp and the preseason and even played in a full 16 games in his first two NFL seasons, so it would be a shame if he weren't available for the season-opener […]

Adam Trautman Is Healthy For Week 1

New Orleans Saints tight end Adam Trautman (ankle) is not listed on the official injury report ahead of the season-opener in Week 1 against the Green Bay Packers.

Blake Martinez Will Be Ready For Week 1

New York Giants linebacker Blake Martinez isn't on the team's official injury report ahead of Week 1 against the Denver Broncos after he spent time on the league's COVID-19 list at the start of training camp. Martinez has been back at practice for several weeks and should be 100 percent ready to begin his second […]

Alexander Mattison Practices In Full

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison (ribs) took part in a full practice on Wednesday ahead of Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Mattison was injured in the team's second preseason game and hadn't done much since then, so this is a good sign of his availability this weekend. He'll once again enter the year […]

Austin Ekeler Misses Practice Wednesday

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (hamstring) officially missed practice on Wednesday due to a hamstring injury. Instead, Ekeler worked off to the side with trainers. Ekeler is an RB1, especially in PPR leagues, but many fantasy managers want nothing to do with him after he missed six games in 2020 in his first season […]

Michael Carter, Denzel Mims Good To Go

New York Jets rookie running back Michael Carter and wide receiver Denzel Mims (hip) aren't listed on the official injury report ahead of Week 1 against the Carolina Panthers.

Nelson Agholor Limited In Practice

New England Patriots wide receiver Nelson Agholor (ankle) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday ahead of the team's Week 1 game against the Miami Dolphins. While this doesn't mean that Agholor will miss the season-opener this weekend, his status the rest of the week is worth monitoring. After a solid year with […]

Jalen Hurd Could Be Headed For Injured Reserve

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jalen Hurd (knee) is a candidate to be put on Injured Reserve to give him more time to be fully ready for the season, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.

Hunter Henry Not On The Injury Report

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry (shoulder) is not listed on the team's official injury report on Wednesday ahead of the Week 1 matchup against the division-rival Miami Dolphins.

Preston Williams Limited To Start The Week

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Preston Williams (foot) was limited in practice on Wednesday ahead of Week 1 against the New England Patriots.

Adam Thielen No Longer On Injury Report

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (thigh) is not listed on the team's official injury report on Wednesday ahead of their Week 1 season-opener against the Cincinnati Bengals. Thielen suffered a thigh bruise in the preseason and didn't take part in the preseason finale, but it was a minor issue and the Vikings were just […]

Dede Westbrook Expects To Be Ready

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Dede Westbrook (knee), who is recovering from a torn ACL last October, was a full practice participant on Wednesday. Westbrook said on Aug. 6 that he "most definitely" would be ready for the season-opener against the Cincinnati Bengals, and it's looking like he was right. It's good news for Westbrook and […]

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. Jefferson suffered an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder on Aug. 6 and was held out of the entire preseason as […]

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 […]
