Raiders Fire Defensive Coordinator Paul Guenther

The Las Vegas Raiders fired defensive coordinator Paul Guenther after their Week 14 loss to the Colts on Sunday. Rod Marinelli will take over as the interim defensive coordinator. Las Vegas lost to Indianapolis 44-27, the second time they allowed 40-plus points in the last three weeks. The 49-year-old Guenther was in his third season […]

Broncos Defense Loses Duke Dawson For Rest Of Season

Denver Broncos cornerback Duke Dawson (knee) was carted off the field in the Week 14 win over the Panthers and was diagnosed with a torn ACL and LCL and a sprained MCL following an MRI exam, according to a source. The former Patriots second-round pick will miss the final three games of the regular season. […]

Doug Pederson Mum On Jalen Hurts Starting Another Game

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson wouldn't name a starter at quarterback for Week 15 against the Cardinals despite rookie quarterback Jalen Hurts playing very well in the upset win over the Saints in his first career start in Week 14. However, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport says it's basically a foregone conclusion that Hurts -- […]

Jamal Adams Makes NFL History

Seattle Seahawks defensive back Jamal Adams raised his sack total to 8.5 on the season in the blowout win over the Jets in Week 14, breaking the record for most sacks in a single season by a defensive back. Adams has missed some time this year due to injury in his first season in Seattle, […]

Matthew Stafford In A Lot Of Pain

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (rib) was in a lot of pain following a rib injury that knocked him out of the Week 14 loss to the Packers on Sunday. Stafford left the game late in the fourth quarter, and tests after the game haven't shown anything definitive yet. The 32-year-old is as tough as […]

Alex Smith Dealing With Calf Strain

Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith (calf) was diagnosed with a calf strain after leaving the Week 14 win over the 49ers. All X-rays were negative and this doesn't appear to be a significant injury, so Smith isn't being ruled out yet for Week 15 against the Seahawks. We'll know a lot more on the […]

Anthony Castonzo Questionable To Face Raiders

Indianapolis Colts left tackle Anthony Castonzo (knee), defensive tackle Tyquan Lewis (hip) and linebacker Bobby Okereke (ankle) are all questionable for Week 14 against the Raiders. Castonzo missed practice on Wednesday but returned to limited practices on Thursday and Friday. The 32-year-old suffered a knee sprain in Week 12 and missed last week's win over […]

Ian Thomas Questionable Against Broncos

Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas (knee) is listed as questionable for Week 14 against the Broncos. Thomas first popped up on the injury report on Friday but was a full participant in practice, so he should be able to play on Sunday. The 24-year-old did not play last week and he has just 13 […]

Zane Gonzalez Questionable For Week 14

Arizona Cardinals kicker Zane Gonzalez (back) is listed as questionable for Week 14 against the Giants. Gonzalez first showed up on the injury report on Friday and was limited in practice. The 25-year-old has a chance to play on Sunday, but fantasy managers that are in the playoffs should look for better options. Gonzalez has […]

Nationals Interested In Kyle Schwarber

The Washington Nationals are interested in free-agent outfielder Kyle Schwarber, who could add some nice pop to the middle of their lineup despite posting a .701 OPS during the shortened 2020 season. Washington has a very clear outfield need this winter, especially after former right fielder Adam Eaton signed a deal with the White Sox. […]

Chris Sale To Throw Off Mound In January

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale (elbow), who is almost nine months removed from Tommy John surgery, is long tossing and plans to start throwing off a mound in January. "The recovery is going great," said B.B. Abbott, Sale's agent. "If anything, they'll be holding him back. From a work ethic standpoint, he's not […]

Red Sox Interested In Jake Odorizzi, Rich Hill

The Boston Red Sox have made it no secret that they are looking for starting rotation help this winter after a cumulative 5.34 ERA from their starters in 2020, which ranked 25th in baseball. There's little chance that they will pursue the top free-agent arm on the market in Trevor Bauer. Boston is expected to […]

David Dahl Agrees With Texas

Free-agent outfielder David Dahl and the Texas Rangers agreed on a one-year deal for around $3 million on Friday, according to sources familiar with the agreement. Dahl, 26, became a free agent when he was non-tendered by the Rockies. He's recovering from right shoulder surgery in September. Dahl has a long list of injuries in […]

Dodgers Add Brandon Morrow On Minor League Deal

The Los Angeles Dodgers agreed to a minor league deal with relief pitcher Brandon Morrow on Friday, according to sources. Morrow will be returning to the Blue after pitching for the team in 2017, when he had a nice 2.06 ERA in 45 games while appearing in all seven World Series games later that year. […]

D.J. Moore Unlikely To Play In Week 14

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore remains on the Reserve/COVID-19 list and is unlikely to play in Week 14 against the Broncos. Moore hasn't practiced all week after being put on the list on Monday. With Moore out this Sunday, it'll put much more of the receiving load on Robby Anderson and Curtis Samuel. Anderson […]

Carlos Dunlap To Be Game-Time Decision

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that defensive end Carlos Dunlap (foot) will be a game-time decision in Week 14 against the Jets. Dunlap didn't practice all week and was officially listed as questionable. The former Bengals pass-rusher played through the injury in Week 13, but he recorded just one tackle on 41 percent […]

Deebo Samuel Will Play Against Washington

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (foot) was limited in practice this week, but he was taken off the final injury report on Friday and will play in Week 14 against the Washington Football Team. Samuel has 17 receptions for 206 yards on 22 targets in his first two games back from injury, so […]

Austin Hooper Added To Injury Report Friday

Cleveland Browns tight end Austin Hooper (neck) was added to the injury report on Friday after not practicing. Mid-week additions to the practice report usually aren't a good thing, and it could make things more tricky this week with the Browns playing the division-rival Ravens on Monday night. Baltimore's defense has returned some key pieces […]

Tee Higgins Questionable For Week 14

Cincinnati Bengals rookie wide receiver Tee Higgins (hamstring) and safety Brandon Wilson (hamstring) are both questionable for Week 14 against the Cowboys. Higgins was limited in practice all week after tweaking his hammy in Week 13, so he should be able to give it a go on Sunday against Dallas. Without quarterback Joe Burrow (knee) […]

Khalil Mack Questionable For Bears Defense

Chicago Bears linebacker Khalil Mack (shoulder) was limited in practice on Friday and is questionable for Week 14 against the Texans. Mack should be able to play this weekend against Houston, but more concerning is the fact that he didn't have a single tackle while playing 81 percent of the defensive snaps in last week's […]

Josh Jacobs, Johnathan Abram Questionable

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (ankle) and safety Johnathan Abram (knee) are both questionable for Week 14 against the Colts. Cornerback Damon Arnette (concussion, neck) and safety Jeff Heath (concussion) have been ruled out. Jacobs was limited in practice on Thursday and Friday and is trending toward returning to action after sitting out […]

Alexander Mattison Out Again In Week 14

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison (illness) has been ruled out for Week 14 against the Buccaneers. Mattison also missed Week 13 after undergoing an appendectomy. With the 22-year-old out last week, Dalvin Cook had a season-high 38 touches and should be a workhorse again this weekend against Tampa Bay. Ameer Abdullah and Michael Boone […]

Cameron Erving Heads To Injured Reserve

Dallas Cowboys offensive tackle Cameron Erving (knee) was placed on Injured Reserve on Friday. Erving missed five weeks earlier this year with a knee injury and also didn't play in the Week 13 loss to the Ravens. He'll have to sit out for at least the next three weeks, so with four weeks left to […]

Ezekiel Elliott Questionable Against Bengals

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (calf) is questionable to play against the Bengals in Week 14. Elliott got in limited practices all week, so he should be good to go for Sunday unless he suffers some sort of setback. Tony Pollard would see the bulk of the backfield workload if Elliott can't go, so […]

Steelers Defense Won't Have Joe Haden Sunday

Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Joe Haden (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 14 against the Bills on Sunday night. The 31-year-old three-time Pro Bowler's absence will make life easier on MVP candidate Josh Allen and wide receiver Stefon Diggs as they look to give Pittsburgh their second straight loss. Haden hasn't really been relevant in […]

Tyrann Mathieu Questionable To Face Dolphins

Kansas City Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu (hip) is questionable for Week 14 against the Dolphins. Mathieu popped up on the injury report on Friday and was able to get in a limited practice, so he has a chance to be active. The Honey Badger has been a top-15 defensive back in IDP leagues, racking up […]

Brandin Cooks, Keke Coutee Questionable Against Bears

Houston Texans wide receivers Brandin Cooks (foot, neck) and Keke Coutee (knee) are both questionable for Week 14 against the Bears. Cooks was limited in practice all week, however, so we'd expect him to play against Chicago as the team's top receiver. Coutee practiced in full the last two days, so he should play as […]

Frank Gore Officially Questionable

New York Jets running back Frank Gore (concussion), who remains in the league's concussion protocol, is listed as questionable for Week 14 against the Seahawks. However, Gore was listed as a full practice participant on Friday and could be cleared in time to play on Sunday. If the veteran back can't get the green light, […]

DeAndre Hopkins, Kenyan Drake Questionable

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (back, neck), running back Kenyan Drake (hip) and linebacker Isaiah Simmons (back, neck) are questionable for Week 14 against the Giants. Hopkins is expected to play, so he should be penciled into all starting lineups in single-year leagues despite a tough matchup with cornerback James Bradberry. The All-Pro wideout […]

Kenny Golladay Out Again

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay (hip) and rookie cornerback Jeff Okudah (groin) have both been ruled out for Week 14 against the Packers. It will be Golladay's sixth straight game on the sidelines due to injury. The fact that he didn't practice all week makes it seem like he's not close to returning for […]
