The Carolina Panthers have placed eight players on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday after coming off their bye week, and wide receiver Curtis Samuel is one of them.

Buccaneers Waiving Jaydon Mickens

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are waiving wide receiver/kick returner Jaydon Mickens on Monday, according to a source. Mickens has been productive for the team this year, catching seven passes and returning 21 kicks/punts.

Chargers Not Ready To Fire Anthony Lynn

The Los Angeles Chargers were shut out in their Week 13 loss to the Patriots, but no head-coaching change is imminent, according to sources.

New York Giants head coach Joe Judge said the team will give quarterback Daniel Jones (hamstring) "every opportunity" to play in Week 14 against the Cardinals.

Darius Slay's Injury Isn't Serious

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay (knee) left the team's Week 13 loss to the Packers with a knee injury, but he's not believed to have suffered a serious injury, according to a source. It's good news for an Eagles secondary that will have a tall task against the Saints in Week 14. If Slay can […]

Jets Fire Defensive Coordinator Gregg Williams

The New York Jets fired defensive coordinator Gregg Williams on Monday, according to sources. It comes a day after Williams called a zero blitz against the Raiders in a hail-mary situation with the game on the line in the final seconds of the fourth quarter. That play call backfired catastrophically, as the Raiders threw a […]

Le'Raven Clark Could Be Lost For The Season

The preliminary diagnosis on Indianapolis Colts offensive lineman Le'Raven Clark (Achilles) is that he suffered a torn Achilles in the Week 13 win over the Texans, according to a source. Clark will have an MRI exam on Monday to confirm the diagnosis. It would be a big loss for the team's offensive line, as Clark […]

Mitch Haniger Avoids Arbitration

The Seattle Mariners and outfielder Mitch Haniger avoided salary arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, non-guaranteed $3.01 million deal on Saturday, according to sources. Haniger slashed just .220/.314/.463 in 63 games while adding 15 home runs and 32 RBI in 2019 and hasn't played since June of that same season. The 29-year-old had a breakout […]

Gio Urshela Out Three Months After Elbow Surgery

New York Yankees third baseman Gio Urshela (elbow) underwent surgery on Friday to remove a bone chip from his right elbow and is expected to be out for three months. He'll likely miss around half of spring training, which is set to begin in mid-February. Urshela was placed on the 10-day injured list with a […]

Jets Release Chris Hogan

The New York Jets released wide receiver Chris Hogan on Saturday. The wideout had 14 catches for 118 yards in five games before he landed on the Injured Reserve in October with a high-ankle sprain suffered in Week 5. It's never a good sign when you're released by an 0-11 team, but Hogan's injury surely […]

Packers Place Corey Linsley On Injured Reserve

Green Bay Packers center Corey Linsley (knee) was placed on Injured Reserve on Saturday, meaning he'll have to sit out the next three games. In a corresponding move, the team elevated offensive guard Ben Braden from the practice squad to the active roster as a COVID-19 replacement. Tight end Dominique Dafney was also elevated from […]

Devonta Freeman Put On COVID-19 List

The New York Giants placed running back Devonta Freeman (ankle), who is already on Injured Reserve, on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Saturday.

New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Marquez Callaway (knee) suffered a minor knee sprain in the Week 12 win over the Broncos, but he'll be sidelined for at least the next three weeks after being placed on Injured Reserve on Saturday.

Terry McLaurin Questionable Against Steelers

Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin (ankle), defensive end Ryan Anderson (knee) and offensive tackle Morgan Moses (groin) are questionable for Week 13 against the Steelers on Monday. McLaurin got in a full practice on Saturday, so he should be good to go for this week. The second-year pass-catcher has WR1 upside almost every […]

Ben Roethlisberger, Chris Boswell Questionable

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (knee) and kicker Chris Boswell (hip) are both listed as questionable for Week 13 against Washington on Monday. Roethlisberger didn't practice all week, but the Steelers also list him with a non-injury, so it's likely that they just gave the 17-year veteran some extra rest after a Wednesday game in […]

LeGarrette Blount Announces Retirement

Former NFL running back LeGarrette Blount announced his retirement on Instagram on Saturday. The three-time Super Bowl champion last played in 2018 and announced the news on his 34th birthday.

Texans Activate David Johnson From Injured Reserve

The Houston Texans activated running back David Johnson (concussion) from Injured Reserve on Saturday. Johnson missed exactly three weeks with a head injury but should return in Week 13 to face the division-rival Colts. Indy's stout defense was exposed against the NFL's leading rusher in Derrick Henry last week, but their defensive line is also […]

Myles Gaskin Activated From Injured Reserve

The Miami Dolphins activated running back Myles Gaskin (knee) from Injured Reserve on Saturday. It's great timing for Gaskin, as running backs Salvon Ahmed and DeAndre Washington are doubtful to play on Sunday due to injuries and Matt Breida is officially out after being put on the COVID-19 list. So Gaskin and Patrick Laird should […]

Alexander Mattison Will Miss Week 13 After Appendectomy

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison (illness) has been downgraded to out for Week 13 against the Jaguars. Mattison had appendicitis and underwent successful surgery, according to a source. The 22-year-old could also be forced to miss Week 14 against the Buccaneers. With Mattison sidelined list Sunday, expect Ameer Abdullah to serve as Dalvin Cook's […]

D'Andre Swift Downgraded To Doubtful

Detroit Lions rookie running back D'Andre Swift (illness), who cleared the league's concussion protocol this week but fell sick, has been downgraded to doubtful for Week 13 against the Bears. It looks like Swift will miss his third straight game, so fantasy managers need to remove him from their starting lineups. Veteran Adrian Peterson and […]

Broncos Defense To Be Without Ed Donatell Again

Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Ed Donatell, who is recovering from his battle with COVID-19, will miss his sixth game in Week 13 against the division-rival Chiefs on Sunday night.

Mark Ingram II, Calais Campbell Activated From COVID-19 List

The Baltimore Ravens activated running back Mark Ingram II and defensive ends Calais Campbell and Jihad Ward from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Saturday. Ingram missed the Week 12 loss to the Steelers after testing positive for the virus. However, his role in the backfield was already being diminished prior to last week, making him one […]

Jordan Howard Added To Active Roster

The Philadelphia Eagles elevated running back Jordan Howard from the practice squad to the active roster on Saturday for the team's Week 13 game against the Packers. Howard played the 2019 season with the Eagles before getting cut after playing in five games for the Dolphins this year. The Eagles already have Miles Sanders as […]

Steelers Activate Stephon Tuitt From COVID-19 List

The Pittsburgh Steelers activated defensive end Stephon Tuitt from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Saturday. Tuitt has 31 tackles and seven sacks in 10 games and has also forced two fumbles and has two passes defensed. His return is a huge boost for a defense that just lost linebacker Bud Dupree (knee) to a season-ending torn […]
