Dalvin Cook Expects To Be Active Against Packers

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (groin) expects to return to action in Week 8 against the Packers. Cook was injured in Week 5 and missed the Week 6 contest before the team's Week 7 bye.

Michael Thomas Misses Practice Wednesday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle, hamstring) did not take part in practice on Wednesday.

Cowboys Expected To Sign Cooper Rush

The Dallas Cowboys are expected to sign quarterback Cooper Rush to their practice squad once he passes COVID-19 protocols and a physical, which is likely to be next week, according to a source.

The Minnesota Vikings placed rookie cornerback Cameron Dantzler on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday.

Dantzler is probably a long shot to play in Week 8 against the division-rival Packers, and the […]

Marlins Exercise Starling Marte's Option

The Miami Marlins exercised the club option for outfielder Starling Marte on Wednesday, and he'll make $12.5 million next year. The Marlins would've been on the hook for $1 million if they had decided not to pick up Marte's option. Miami acquired the center fielder from Arizona on Aug. 31 for pitchers Caleb Smith and […]

Allen Lazard Returning To Practice This Week

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that wide receiver Allen Lazard (core) will return to practice this week.

Sammy Watkins Won't Practice Wednesday

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) will not practice on Wednesday.

Quinnen Williams Trade Rumors Are False

New York Jets head coach Adam Gase said trade rumors swirling around defensive tackle Quinnen Williams are false. "He's going to be here," Gase said.

George Springer Doesn't Want To Return To Astros

Houston Astros outfielder George Springer, who is set to become a free agent, doesn't want to return to the team.

Fellow outfielders Michael Brantley and Josh […]

Michael Pittman Jr. Returning To Practice

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich said that rookie wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (calf) is returning to practice on Wednesday. Indianapolis will now have 21 days to activate Pittman from Injured Reserve. The USC product could return to face the Lions this weekend, but he'd likely play limited snaps if that was the case. […]

Myles Garrett Not Practicing Wednesday

Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett (ankle) is sitting out of practice on Wednesday. Garrett is a must-start IDP defensive lineman each and every week, so this is an injury to keep an eye on throughout the rest of the week. Garrett has a league-high nine sacks and four forced fumbles through seven weeks, including […]

Dallas Goedert, Jalen Reagor Practicing Wednesday

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (ankle) and rookie wide receiver Jalen Reagor (thumb) are taking part in practice on Wednesday. Goedert will likely be limited, but Reagor is doing well. Goedert is expected to return in Week 10 after the team's bye, but he should be stashed in all leagues right now since he'll […]

Allen Robinson II In Concussion Protocol

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson II is in the league's concussion protocol this week.

Seahawks Defense Acquires Carlos Dunlap From Bengals

The Seattle Seahawks acquired defensive end Carlos Dunlap from the Cincinnati Bengals on Wednesday in exchange for offensive lineman B.J. Finney and a seventh-round pick, according to sources.

Andy Dalton Hasn't Progressed In Concussion Protocol

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Andy Dalton (concussion) attended meetings on Wednesday morning, but he hasn't progressed enough in the concussion protocol to attend position meetings and will not practice on Wednesday. Head coach Mike McCarthy doesn't expect Dalton to be available until the "end of the week at the earliest." It's looking increasingly likely that rookie […]

Takkarist McKinley On The Trade Block

The Atlanta Falcons have had trade talks surrounding defensive end Takkarist McKinley, and other teams think the former first-round pick will be traded before next Tuesday's deadline, according to sources.

Dalvin Cook Will Practice Wednesday

Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer said that running back Dalvin Cook (groin) will take part in practice on Wednesday.

The Houston Texans will close their facility on Wednesday due to a player testing positive for COVID-19, according to a source.

The Dallas Cowboys have told defensive tackle Dontari Poe and cornerback Daryl Worley that they'll be released on Wednesday if the team cannot find a trade partner for them, according to sources.

Bengals Tell Carlos Dunlap To Stay Home

The Cincinnati Bengals have told defensive end Carlos Dunlap to stay home rather than coming to practice on Wednesday as they sort out his future, according to sources.

Julio Jones, Russell Gage Limited Tuesday

Atlanta Falcons wide receivers Julio Jones (hip) and Russell Gage (knee) were both limited in practice on Tuesday.

The All-Pro wideout missed the Week 5 […]

The San Francisco 49ers reached an injury settlement with wide receiver Tavon Austin (knee) on Tuesday, and he is no longer on their Injured Reserve list.
