Tyreek Hill, Clyde Edwards-Helaire Don't Practice

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that wide receiver Tyreek Hill (hamstring), rookie running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle, hip) and linebacker Damien Wilson didn't practice on Wednesday. Reid said that Hill's hamstring tightened up on him in the Week 15 win over the Saints and the team wants him to rest. It doesn't […]

Brian Burns Won't Need Surgery

Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said that pass-rusher Brian Burns (knee) didn't practice on Wednesday, but he will not require surgery. Offensive lineman Russell Okung (hip) and cornerback Troy Pride also missed practice Wednesday. Burns, 22, has been fantasy relevant this year with his 56 combined tackles (seven for loss), 20 QB hits, three […]

Browns Defense Getting Healthy Ahead Of Week 16

Cleveland Browns safety Andrew Sendejo (concussion) has been cleared to practice, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski. The team also expects defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson (neck) to play in Week 16 against the Jets. Safety Ronnie Harrison (concussion) has also been designated to return from Injured Reserve. Cleveland's defense held the Giants and backup quarterback […]

Tytus Howard Unlikely To Play Against Bengals

Houston Texans interim head coach Romeo Crennel said that it's "unlikely" that offensive lineman Tytus Howard (concussion) will play in Week 16 against the Bengals after suffering a concussion in the Week 15 loss to the Colts. The 24-year-old first-round pick in 2019 has started all 14 games for Houston's offensive line this year, so […]

Brandon Allen Not Ruled Out For Week 16

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that the decision to start either quarterback Brandon Allen (knee) or Ryan Finley in Week 16 against the Texans will come down to how Allen's knee looks at the end of the week. Allen suffered a knee injury in Week 14 and was inactive in the Monday night […]

Tyler Boyd In Concussion Protocol

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd (concussion) is in the league's concussion protocol, according to head coach Zac Taylor. Boyd left the team's Monday night win over the Steelers early with the head injury and didn't return to the contest. The 26-year-old is highly questionable to play in Week 16 on a short week against […]

John Brown Remains On Injured Reserve

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that wide receiver John Brown (ankle) will practice on Wednesday, but he remains on Injured Reserve. Brown is trending in the right direction and could be activated to play in time for Monday night's meeting with the division-rival Patriots. New England's secondary will be much more vulnerable without […]

Stefon Diggs, Tre'Davious White Will Practice Wednesday

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that wide receiver Stefon Diggs (foot), cornerback Tre'Davious White (shoulder) and defensive end A.J. Epenesa (head) will all practice on Wednesday. Receiver Andre Roberts (back) and offensive lineman Daryl Williams (groin) will sit out. Unless he suffers a setback later this week, Diggs should suit up and be […]

Philip Rivers Not Practicing Wednesday

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich said that quarterback Philip Rivers (toe) will not practice on Wednesday, which has been the case every week since he injured his toe. Rivers hasn't missed any game action, though, and has been much better as a fantasy passer in recent weeks than he was to begin the 2020 […]

Julio Jones Expected To Be Game-Time Decision

Atlanta Falcons interim head coach Raheem Morris said that wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) is expected to once again be a game-time decision in Week 16 against the Chiefs. However, Morris noted that Jones "is a little bit closer" than he has been to playing after missing the last two games. The 31-year-old wants to […]

Christian McCaffrey Doubtful For Week 16

Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said that running back Christian McCaffrey (quadriceps, shoulder) is doubtful to play in Week 16 against the Washington Football Team. McCaffrey has only played in three games this season due to injury, so it's unlikely that he'd return for the season finale in Week 17. After being the consensus […]

Leighton Vander Esch Won't Practice This Week

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Leighton Vander Esch (ankle) and nose tackle Antwaun Woods (ankle) will not practice this week, according to head coach Mike McCarthy. Vander Esch is dealing with a high-ankle sprain and is likely to miss the final two games of the regular season. That's a big blow to the interior of Dallas' defense […]

Ezekiel Elliott To Be Limited Wednesday

Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said that running back Ezekiel Elliott (calf) will be a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Elliott was surprisingly inactive in Week 15 against the 49ers, paving the way for Tony Pollard to see the lion's share of the backfield work. Even though Elliott is practicing in a limited […]

Giants Waiting To Make Decision On Daniel Jones

New York Giants head coach Joe Judge said he's gotten "good feedback" on quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle, hamstring) from the trainers, but he wants to see how Jones does at practice over the next three days before making a final decision on his status for Week 16 against the Ravens. Judge hopes to have "some […]

Trent Taylor Put On COVID-19 List

The San Francisco 49ers placed wide receiver Trent Taylor on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday and signed wide receiver Jordan Matthews to the practice squad in a corresponding move. Taylor is now likely to miss the Week 16 game against the Cardinals on Saturday, even if he was just deemed a high-risk close contact of […]

Ben Roethlisberger Looking His Age

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has a sub-90 passer rating in five straight games, tying the longest single-season streak of his career in Weeks 13-17 back in 2008. He's also had fewer than 6.0 yards per attempt in five straight games, the longest streak of his career and the longest active NFL streak. Since Week […]

Joe Mixon Won't Play In Week 16

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (foot) will not return from Injured Reserve to play in Week 16 against the Texans, according to head coach Zac Taylor. "We'll see about next week," Taylor said. Mixon hasn't played since Week 6 against the Colts and is highly unlikely to return for a meaningless Week 17 game […]

Dodgers Agree With Tommy Kahnle

The Los Angeles Dodgers agreed to a two-year deal with reliever Tommy Kahnle (elbow) on Wednesday, according to a source. Kahnle will receive $750,000 in 2021, $3.45 million in 2022 and a $550,000 signing bonus. The deal includes $750,000 in performance bonuses in 2022. The right-hander had Tommy John surgery in August while with the […]

Quinnen Williams Placed On Injured Reserve

The New York Jets are placing defensive lineman Quinnen Williams (neck) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday with a neck injury. Williams will miss the final two games of the season, ending a promising year in which he emerged as one of the league's best young defensive linemen. One of the few bright spots for Gang […]

James Paxton Throws For Teams

Free-agent starting pitcher James Paxton (back, elbow) reached 94 mph on the radar gun at a throwing session for scouts, according to a source. As many as 20 teams were in attendance to watch him throw after he underwent back surgery in February and suffered a flexor strain during the 2020 season that limited him […]

Phillies Make Offer To J.T. Realmuto

The Philadelphia Phillies have an offer on the table for free-agent catcher J.T. Realmuto, but the other offers around the league for the best all-around catcher in baseball remain unknown. The 29-year-old is believed to be looking for a record-setting deal for a catcher, but the Phillies have made it known that they play to […]

Padres A Suitor For Yu Darvish

The San Diego Padres are one possible suitor for Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Yu Darvish, who finished second in the National League Cy Young voting in 2020 behind Trevor Bauer. The Padres have high-end prospect depth, and general manager A.J. Preller knows Darvish well from their time together with the Rangers. San Diego has become […]

Broncos Like What They've Seen From Drew Lock

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock has had his struggles in his second season, but general manager John Elway said that the team still likes what they've seen from him in 2020. Lock has thrown for 2,330 yards, 14 touchdowns and 13 interceptions in 11 games this season but has shown some progress recently. He's thrown […]

Justin Jefferson Could Break Randy Moss' Record

Minnesota Vikings rookie wide receiver Justin Jefferson, who was just named to the Pro Bowl in his first season, needs 132 receiving yards to break Randy Moss' Vikings rookie receiving-yards record. Jefferson has gone over 132 receiving yards three times in his first 14 games. Moss was taken 21st overall in 1998 and had 69 […]

Travis Kelce On The Verge Of Making History

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has 1,318 receiving yards heading into Week 16 against the Falcons and would break the NFL's single-season record for a tight end if he gets at least 60 yards on Sunday against Atlanta. 49ers tight end George Kittle holds the record of 1,377 receiving yards set in 2018. […]

Lions Defense Could Be Missing Coaches Saturday

The Detroit Lions Defense could be without a large portion of their coaching staff in Week 16 against the Buccaneers on Saturday after COVID-19 positives from Tuesday have left the coaching staff in a difficult situation with almost all of their defensive staff members considered close contacts, according to sources informed of the situation. Interim […]

Josh Gordon Out Indefinitely

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Josh Gordon had a setback in his battle with substance abuse and won't be allowed to practice or play indefinitely, according to sources. The NFL informed the Seahawks that Gordon hasn't complied with the terms of his conditional reinstatement. And so it continues for Gordon. The Seahawks had just added the […]

Mets Reach Out To DJ LeMahieu

The New York Mets recently reached out to free-agent second baseman DJ LeMahieu, which could set up a battle between the Mets and Yankees for the Yankees best player the last two seasons. Re-signing LeMahieu is the Yankees top offseason priority, but there's a sizable gap in contract talks, leaving the door open for another […]

Brewers Claim Tim Lopes Off Waivers

The Milwaukee Brewers claimed utility man Tim Lopes off waivers from the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday. The 26-year-old hit .238 with two home runs and 15 RBI in 46 games for the Mariners during the shortened 2020 season, adding a .278 on-base percentage and .364 slugging percentage. In 2019, Lopes hit .270 with a home […]
