Adam Wainwright Unsure If He'll Return To Cardinals

Free-agent right-hander Adam Wainwright is in wait-and-see mode as it pertains to potentially re-signing with the St. Louis Cardinals. Because of a strange shortened 2020 season due to COVID-19 with no fans, the Cardinals could be limited in what they do financially. Long-time catcher Yadier Molina, who is also a free agent, also has his […]

Packers Defense Has Juicy Matchup With Bears

We still don't know who the Chicago Bears will start at quarterback between Nick Foles (hip) and Mitchell Trubisky (shoulder) -- Foles didn't practice on Wednesday but Trubisky practiced in full -- but either way, the Packers Defense will be a strong start in all fantasy formats in Week 12. The Bears seem to be […]

Sam Darnold Back At Practice

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) was expected to be a limited practice participant on Wednesday in his return, with head coach Adam Gase saying Darnold will do "quite a bit." Darnold has missed the last two games with a right shoulder injury, but his return to practice bodes well for his chances of […]

Adam Humphries Returns To Practice

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said that wide receiver Adam Humphries (concussion) and safety Kenny Vaccaro (concussion) were both scheduled to practice on Wednesday. It gives both players a chance to suit up in Week 12 against the division-rival Colts. Humphries hasn't played suffering his head injury in Week 8 against the Bengals. The […]

Kyler Murray, DeAndre Hopkins Still On Injury Report

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (shoulder) was a limited practice participant on Wednesday, while wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (illness) sat out. Murray suffered the shoulder injury in last Thursday's loss to the Seahawks, but he played through it and should be fine to face the Patriots in Week 12. Hopkins is dealing with a non-COVID-19-related […]

Calais Campbell, Two Offensive Lineman Go On COVID-19 List

The Baltimore Ravens placed defensive end Calais Campbell and offensive linemen Patrick Mekari and Matt Skura on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday. Because of a COVID-19 outbreak in the Ravens organization this week, the NFL moved the Ravens-Steelers Thursday night Thanksgiving matchup to Sunday afternoon. It's unclear if these three players actually tested positive for […]

Myles Gaskin Designated To Return From Injured Reserve

The Miami Dolphins designated running back Myles Gaskin (knee) to return from Injured Reserve on Wednesday. The club also activated defensive tackle Christian Wilkins from the Reserve/COVID-19 list. Gaskin practiced in a non-contact jersey on Wednesday, but his activation from IR doesn't necessarily ensure that he'll play in Week 12 against the Jets. In fact, […]

Tua Tagovailoa Limited In Practice Wednesday

Miami Dolphins rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (thumb) was limited in Wednesday's practice with a left thumb injury. Tagovailoa jammed his left thumb on a helmet in practice, but early indications are that it's nothing serious. The Alabama product struggled mightily for the first time in four starts against the Broncos last week and was benched […]

Philip Rivers Misses Practice Wednesday

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Philip Rivers (toe) didn't practice on Wednesday, but head coach Frank Reich said Rivers was held out as a precaution and could practice if needed after he bruised his toe in the Week 11 win over the Packers. Thursday is a scheduled off day for the whole team, so the veteran signal-caller […]

K'Waun Williams' Suspension Rescinded

The NFL rescinded San Francisco 49ers cornerback K'Waun Williams' two-game performance-enhancing drug suspension on Wednesday because of issues with the testing procedures, according to sources. Williams had stood by the fact that he never violated the league's policies on performance-enhancing drugs. It's good news for a 49ers Defense that can't afford to lose any more […]

D'Andre Swift Questionable For Thanksgiving Game

Detroit Lions rookie running back D'Andre Swift (concussion) is listed as questionable for Thursday's Thanksgiving game against the Texans. Swift didn't practice on Monday but was limited on both Tuesday and Wednesday, giving himself a chance to return to action this week after he sat out in Week 11. Consider the 21-year-old a game-time decision […]

Kenny Golladay, Danny Amendola Ruled Out Against Texans

Detroit Lions wide receivers Kenny Golladay (hip) and Danny Amendola (hip) and rookie cornerback Jeff Okudah (shoulder) have been ruled out for the Thanksgiving game on Thursday against the Texans. Golladay has been out since Week 8 and will miss his fourth straight game. With both receivers out, Mohamed Sanu was signed to the active […]

Colts Place DeForest Buckner On COVID-19 List

The Indianapolis Colts placed standout defensive tackle DeForest Buckner on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday. It's unclear if Buckner tested positive for the virus himself or if he was deemed a high-risk close contact of someone else who tested positive. Either way, his status is in question for Week 12 against the division-rival Titans. If […]

Teddy Bridgewater Expected To Play In Week 12

Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said that he expects quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (knee) to play in Week 12 against the Vikings. Bridgewater returned to practice on Wednesday after sitting out in the Week 11 win over the Lions and appears to be on track to return to the starting gig. P.J. Walker took over […]

Christian McCaffrey Not Expected To Play

Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule doesn't expect running back Christian McCaffrey (shoulder) to play in Week 12 against the Vikings. McCaffrey was wearing a non-contact red jersey at practice on Wednesday, but he's been unlikely to play all along this week. The 24-year-old All-Pro will miss his third straight game after coming off a […]

Giants Interested In Jon Lester

The San Francisco Giants are interested in free-agent left-hander Jon Lester as they look to add one more starting pitcher this offseason. Lester seriously considered signing with the Giants before joining the Cubs in 2014. San Francisco general manager Scott Harris worked in the Cubs front office during Lester's time in Chicago, and pitching on […]

Jake Odorizzi A Highly Coveted Free Agent

Free-agent right-hander Jake Odorizzi is drawing significant interest as the next attractive available starter behind Trevor Bauer. Odorizzi threw just 13 2/3 innings in the shortened 2020 season because of three separate trips to the injured list. However, he had a 3.51 ERA with a 10.1 K/9 over 30 starts in 2019 with the Twins. […]

Blue Jays Talking With Michael Brantley, Justin Turner

The Toronto Blue Jays have been in contact with free-agent outfielder Michael Brantley and third baseman Justin Turner. Toronto already re-signed lefty Robbie Ray and are expected to be among of the most aggressive teams this winter. With Vladimir Guerrero Jr. moving to first base last year, the Blue Jays have a hole at the […]

Rangers Listening To Offers For Lance Lynn

The Texas Rangers are listening to trade offers for starting pitcher Lance Lynn. USA TODAY's Bob Nightengale reported two weeks ago that rival executives fully expect the Rangers to deal the 33-year-old right-hander this offseason. He's entering the final year of his three-year, $30 million deal and could be a very nice one-season rental for […]

Reds Open To Dealing Sonny Gray

The Cincinnati Reds are open to trading starting pitcher Sonny Gray this offseason, even though they will also be losing Trevor Bauer to free agency. Gray is signed for $20 million over the next two seasons and has a $12 million team option for the 2023 campaign, making him an affordable option for teams that […]

Mets Aiming To Be Aggressive This Offseason

The New York Mets aim to be aggressive for the best available players this offseason. One source said that it's true that the Mets are targeting more than just one of the big four -- outfielder George Springer, catcher J.T. Realmuto, starting pitcher Trevor Bauer and Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor. There has been speculation that […]

Ravens-Steelers Game Moved To Sunday

The Baltimore Ravens-Pittsburgh Steelers game previously scheduled for Thursday night on Thanksgiving this week is being postponed to Sunday afternoon. The move was made out of an abundance of caution after the Ravens experienced a COVID-19 outbreak among several players and staff members this week. Running backs Mark Ingram II and rookie J.K. Dobbins both […]

Astros Open To Trading Carlos Correa

The Houston Astros are considering trades for shortstop Carlos Correa. The 26-year-old can become a free agent after the 2021 season and the Astros know they are unlikely to sign him to a contract extension before that point. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2012 draft, Correa has been injury prone in his career […]

Dodgers Interested In Brad Hand

The Los Angeles Dodgers are showing interest in free-agent left-handed reliever Brad Hand, according to a source. Hand could fit into the bullpen in Blake Treinen's role if he doesn't re-sign with the team. The southpaw converted all 16 of his save chances for the Indians in 2020, but he'd lose significant fantasy value with […]

Adam Thielen's Status Remains Up In The Air

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen's status for Week 12 against the Panthers remains up in the air after he tested positive for COVID-19. Head coach Mike Zimmer said on Wednesday that he doesn't know if Thielen will be cleared to play on Sunday. The team's top wideout was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on […]

Kenny Stills, Randall Cobb Out Against Lions

Houston Texans wide receivers Kenny Stills (quadriceps) and Randall Cobb (toe) have both been ruled out for the Thanksgiving game on Thursday against the Lions and will not travel with the team. Cobb is dealing with a significant toe injury and will miss several more games. With both Stills and Cobb out this Thursday, Keke […]

Christian McCaffrey To Work In Red Jersey Wednesday

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (shoulder) has arrived at practice on Wednesday and will work in a non-contact red jersey. It's progress for McCaffrey, but it was reported earlier this week that he's expected to miss the Week 12 game against the Vikings. The All-Pro running back hasn't been officially ruled out yet, though, […]

Auden Tate Put On COVID-19 List

The Cincinnati Bengals placed wide receiver Auden Tate and offensive guard/center B.J. Finney on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday. The Bengals reported that they had someone test positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday, but they haven't disclosed exactly who that player was. Either way, both players availability for Week 12 against the Giants is in jeopardy […]

Jaguars Defense To Be Without Three Coaches Sunday

The Jacksonville Jaguars Defense will be without three defensive coaches in Week 12 against the Browns, including defensive coordinator Todd Wash. Head coach Doug Marrone said that Wash was among those unavailable this week due to COVID-19 protocols. The entire defensive staff was not at the team facility on Tuesday as the team underwent contact […]

Jaguars Plan To Start Mike Glennon In Week 12

The Jacksonville Jaguars plan to start quarterback Mike Glennon in Week 12 against the Browns, according to head coach Doug Marrone. Gardner Minshew II (thumb) is nearing full health, but it will be Glennon over both Minshew and rookie Jake Luton on Sunday against Cleveland. The biggest takeaway here is that the Browns Defense, which […]
