Chicago Bears defensive lineman Akiem Hicks (hamstring) suffered a strained right hamstring in the Monday night loss to the Vikings, while wide receiver/punt returner Dwayne Harris (triceps) is waiting on confirmation for a torn triceps muscle.

The Philadelphia Eagles designated tight end Zach Ertz (ankle) to return from Injured Reserve on Monday. The Eagles are getting completely healthy as an offense for the stretch run.

Eric Fisher, Mitchell Schwartz Placed On COVID-19 List

The Kansas City Chiefs placed both starting offensive tackles Eric Fisher and Mitchell Schwartz on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday.

Andy Janovich Going On COVID-19 List

The Cleveland Browns are placing fullback Andy Janovich on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday, according to a source.

49ers Put Arik Armstead On COVID-19 List

The San Francisco 49ers placed defensive lineman Arik Armstead on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday.

Drew Lock Could Miss Practice Wednesday

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock (ribs) has a muscle strain around his ribs, according to a source.

Washington Pleased With Alex Smith

Washington Football Team head coach Ron Rivera thinks quarterback Alex Smith has successfully completed his journey from a gruesome leg injury to become the team's starter.

Broncos Defense Blown Out In Week 10

The Denver Broncos Defense continued their recent slide in the Week 10 blowout loss to the Raiders by a score of 37-12 on Sunday.

Brandon McManus Attempts Just Two Field Goals

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus hasn't missed a kick since Week 7 against the Chiefs, but he only attempted two field goals in the 37-12 blowout loss to the Raiders in Week 10. He was able to help his fantasy managers with a 50-yard make in one of his two tries on Sunday, but the […]

Noah Fant Disappoints Against Raiders

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant was targeted seven times in the Week 10 loss to the Raiders, but he brought in just three of those targets for a season-low 18 yards in the 37-12 defeat. The good news is that Fant has moved past an ankle injury that caused him to miss a game […]
