Joe Mixon Held Out Of Practice Wednesday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (foot) did not take part in practice on Wednesday.

Michael Thomas Misses Practice Wednesday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle, hamstring) did not take part in practice on Wednesday. Thomas tweaked his hamstring in practice last week and was unable to play, and he should be considered highly questionable to suit up in Week 8 against the Bears.

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.

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 […]

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich said that rookie wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (calf) is returning to practice on Wednesday.

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.

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.

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.

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.
