Phillip Lindsay Questionable To Face Falcons

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay (foot) is questionable for Week 9 against the Falcons. Despite being questionable, Lindsay is expected to play after getting in a full practice on Friday.

Cole Kmet Questionable For Week 9

Chicago Bears rookie tight end Cole Kmet (groin) is questionable to play in Week 9 against the Titans. Kmet got in a limited practice on Friday, at least giving him a chance to play this Sunday. The 21-year-old from Notre Dame is a well-rounded tight end prospect, but he isn't rosterable in single-year formats while […]

Mark Ingram II, Chris Moore Doubtful Against Colts

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram II (ankle) and wide receiver Chris Moore (thigh) are listed as doubtful for Week 9 against the Colts. Ingram had the Week 7 bye to heal up, but he's still likely to miss his second straight game. Rookie J.K. Dobbins will likely see his role expand in the second […]

Ezekiel Elliott, Aldon Smith Questionable Against Steelers

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (hamstring) and defensive end Aldon Smith (knee) are questionable to face the Steelers in Week 9.

Matt Breida Ruled Out Against Cardinals

Miami Dolphins running back Matt Breida (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 9 against the Cardinals.

Second-year […]

The New Orleans Saints placed defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins (knee) on Injured Reserve on Friday and activated running back Ty Montgomery (hamstring) from IR in a corresponding move.

Jordan Love Put On COVID-19 List

The Green Bay Packers put rookie quarterback Jordan Love on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday. It's unclear if Love actually tested positive for coronavirus or if he was just a high-risk close contact of linebacker Krys Barnes, who tested positive after playing in Thursday night's game against the 49ers. The 22-year-old from Utah State was […]

Lynn Bowden Jr. Placed On COVID-19 List

The Miami Dolphins placed rookie wide receiver Lynn Bowden Jr. on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday.

Jamal Adams Returning For Seahawks Defense

Seattle Seahawks All-Pro safety Jamal Adams (groin) will play in Week 9 against the Bills. Don't look now, but Seattle's defense is getting healthy and could improve on what was a pretty rough start to the 2020 season. Adams hasn't played since Week 3, but he's a must-start IDP defensive back whenever he's on the […]

Chris Carson, Carlos Hyde Ruled Out For Week 9

Seattle Seahawks running backs Chris Carson (foot) and Carlos Hyde (hamstring) have both been ruled out for Week 9 against the Bills.

The Detroit Lions will be without starting safety Tracy Walker (foot) and All-Pro kick returner Jamal Agnew (ribs) in Week 9 against the division-rival Vikings.

Panthers Defense Could Be Short-Handed Against Chiefs

Carolina Panthers rookie safety Jeremy Chinn (knee), defensive tackle Zach Kerr (toe) and defensive end Marquis Haynes (shoulder) are all listed as questionable for Week 9 against the Chiefs.

Deebo Samuel, Raheem Mostert Could Return In Week 10

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that wide receiver Deebo Samuel (hamstring) and running back Raheem Mostert (ankle) "have a chance" to return in Week 10 against the Saints.

Doctors Don't Recommend Surgery For Jimmy Garoppolo

Nick Mullens Still The Starter

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that the starting job remains "firmly" in the hands of quarterback Nick Mullens after the Thursday night blowout loss to the Packers.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay (hip) has officially been ruled out for Week 9 against the division-rival Vikings. Golladay is being listed as week-to-week after suffering a hip injury in Week 8 against the Colts. There's no guarantee that he'll be ready to go for Week 10 against the Washington Football Team either. With […]

Devonta Freeman Won't Play Against Washington

New York Giants running back Devonta Freeman (ankle) will not play in Week 9 against the Washington Football Team. It will be the second straight game that Freeman will miss. Wayne Gallman should continue to serve as the G-Men's primary running back, with Dion Lewis being sprinkled in here and there. But Gallman should be […]

T.Y. Hilton Doubtful To Face Ravens

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich said that wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (groin) will be doubtful for Week 9 against the Ravens.

Breshad Perriman In Last Phase Of Concussion Protocol

New York Jets wide receiver Breshad Perriman (concussion) is in the last phase of the league's concussion protocol.

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) and wide receiver Jamison Crowder (groin) will be limited in practice on Friday. Darnold is returning to practice after sitting out on Thursday.

Broncos Defense Has Tough Test Against Falcons Offense

The Denver Broncos Defense will head into their Week 9 matchup against the Falcons surprisingly ranked ninth in the league in overall defense. But they'll be facing an Atlanta offense that ranks third in the NFL, and slowing down running back Todd Gurley II and quarterback Matt Ryan will be a tough challenge. Denver will […]
