Kadarius Toney On The Practice Field Wednesday

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstring) was on the practice field on Wednesday. COVID-19 and a hamstring injury kept Toney sidelined for the entire preseason, so fantasy managers in dynasty/keeper leagues shouldn't be expecting a whole lot from the rookie out of the gates. Toney, the 20th overall pick in this year's […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire 100 Percent Healthy And Ready To Go

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle), who dealt with an ankle injury last month, said he's "100 percent" healthy and "ready to go" for Week 1 against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.

Star Lotulelei Not A Sure Thing For Week 1

Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Star Lotulelei (calf) missed his second straight day of practice on Wednesday with a calf injury. The Bills remain optimistic that Lotulelei will be available for the season opener on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but we'd call him questionable for now. He'll likely need to get in some sort of […]

Carson Wentz Practicing In Full, Will Be Ready For Week 1

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz (foot) will be a full practice participant on Wednesday, according to head coach Frank Reich.

Steelers Optimistic On Long-Term Deal For T.J. Watt

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said that he's optimistic that the team will get a long-term contract extension worked out with star linebacker T.J.

Bradley Roby Being Traded To The Saints

The New Orleans Saints are acquiring cornerback Bradley Roby from the Houston Texans on Wednesday, according to sources.

New England Patriots rookie running back Rhamondre Stevenson (thumb) suffered a dislocated thumb in practice last week, according to a source.

Chris Herndon Listed As Third Tight End

Minnesota Vikings tight end Chris Herndon is listed as third on the team's tight end depth chart behind starter Tyler Conklin and backup Brandon Dillon as we inch closer to the Week 1 season opener. It's understandable for Herndon to be buried on the depth chart after he was just acquired from the New York […]

The Seattle Seahawks and offensive tackle Duane Brown reached an agreement on Tuesday on a reworked contract that maxes out at $12 million for this season, according to a source.

Mark Andrews Agrees To Four-Year Extension

The Baltimore Ravens and Pro Bowl tight end Mark Andrews agreed to a four-year contract extension worth $56 million on Monday, according to sources.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers activated defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday. The 34-year-old veteran pass-rusher will be available for the season opener on Thursday night against the Dallas Cowboys.

Adam Shaheen Placed On COVID-19 List

The Miami Dolphins placed tight end Adam Shaheen and left tackle Austin Jackson on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday. Cornerback Jamal Perry was elevated to the active roster as a COVID-19 replacement. Shaheen landed on the list due to a positive COVID-19 test, although he doesn't have any major symptoms.

Ravens Working Out Le'Veon Bell, Devonta Freeman

The Baltimore Ravens are working out free-agent running backs Le'Veon Bell and Devonta Freeman this week. The Ravens also worked out Elijah Holyfield. With both J.K. Dobbins (knee) and Justice Hill (Achilles) out for the season, the Ravens only have Gus Edwards and Ty'Son Williams on their active running back depth chart, so we'd expect […]

Justice Hill Out For The Season

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (Achilles) recently tore his Achilles at practice and will miss the entire season, according to a source. It's the reason why the Ravens have been working out free-agent running backs of late, including Le'Veon Bell, Devonta Freeman and Elijah Holyfield. Hill was expected to see a much larger backfield […]

Brandon McManus Finishes Preseason On A Perfect Note

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus made his lone field-goal attempt (a 54-yarder) and both of his extra points in the 17-12 win over the Los Angeles Rams in the preseason finale on Saturday night. It's not a surprise to see McManus knock down another 50-plus-yarder, as he led the NFL with 10 field goals of […]

Tim Patrick Plays In Final Preseason Game

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick, who has been dealing with minor injury issues during training camp, made his preseason debut in the win over the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday night.

Javonte Williams A Healthy Scratch Against Rams

Denver Broncos rookie running back Javonte Williams was essentially a healthy scratch in the preseason finale against the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday.

Melvin Gordon III Receives Five Carries Saturday

Drew Lock Efficient Against Rams

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock went 5-for-7 for 67 yards and a touchdown in a 17-12 victory over the Los Angeles Rams in the team's preseason finale on Saturday night.

Teddy Bridgewater Tosses One TD In Preseason Finale

Denver Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater completed six of his 11 passes for 62 yards and one touchdown in the 17-12 win over the Los Angeles Rams in the preseason finale on Saturday night.
