Tennessee Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan (undisclosed), who suffered an undisclosed injury in the Week 3 win over the Vikings, avoided a major injury.

Brett Rypien Expected To Start Against Jets

Denver Broncos quarterback Brett Rypien is expected to get the start on Thursday against the Jets over Jeff Driskel, according to sources.

Drew Lock Could Return In Week 5

There is a chance that Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock (shoulder) could play in Week 5 against the Patriots, but the Broncos have more hope that he'll return in Week 6 in a more favorable matchup against the Dolphins.

Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones (groin) tweaked his groin in the Monday night win over the Ravens, but it's not believed to be a serious injury.

Vikings Suspend Activities Due To COVID-19

The Minnesota Vikings are suspending team activities starting Tuesday after a number of positive COVID-19 tests following their Week 3 loss to the Titans.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (ankle) has a small left ankle fracture and a sprained ankle, according to an NFL source.

Los Angeles Chargers cornerback Chris Harris Jr. (foot) suffered a foot injury in the Week 3 loss to the Panthers that is expected to keep him out at least a month and possibly up to six weeks, according to sources.

Lucas Giolito Tabbed For Game 1 Against A's

Chicago White Sox right-hander Lucas Giolito has been named the team's starter for Game 1 of the wild-card series against the A's on Tuesday. Giolito finished the regular season in style, striking out 11 while giving up two runs over six innings against the Indians last Wednesday. The 26-year-old had a strong 2020 season, going […]

Eloy Jimenez Thinks He'll Start In Game 1

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (foot) thinks he'll start in Game 1 of the wild-card series against the A's on Tuesday despite missing last weekend with a mid-foot sprain. Jimenez did some sprints, took part in batting practice and went through throwing and fielding drills on Monday and feels much improved. The 23-year-old could […]

Kwang Hyun Kim To Start Game 1, Adam Wainwright To Follow

St. Louis Cardinals left-hander Kwang Hyun Kim will get the start in Game 1 of the wild-card series against the Padres on Wednesday. Veteran right-hander Adam Wainwright will start in Game 2.

Dinelson Lamet, Mike Clevinger Throw Monday

San Diego Padres starting pitchers Dinelson Lamet (biceps) and Mike Clevinger (elbow) both threw on Monday, playing what sources called "aggressive catch," but neither threw a bullpen session. Both pitchers are rotation options for the wild-card series against the Cardinals, which starts on Wednesday. They're unlikely to start in Game 1 since they haven't thrown […]

Earl Thomas Likely To Sign With Texans Defense

The Houston Texans have brought in All-Pro safety Earl Thomas for a workout, and a source said that the team is more likely to sign him this week than not.

Sam Darnold Won't Be Benched

Aldon Smith Leads NFL In Sacks

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Aldon Smith is the NFL's leader in sacks through three weeks with four, ahead of T.J. Watt and Akiem Hicks, who both have 3.5. It's surprising, since Smith hadn't played a down of football since 2015 entering the 2020 season. Despite his three sacks of Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson in Week 3, […]

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo (groin) is expected to miss time with a groin strain and could be placed on the short-term Injured Reserve, which would cause him to miss at least three weeks.

Tarik Cohen's Season Is Officially Over

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy confirmed that running back Tarik Cohen (knee) tore his ACL in the Week 3 win over the Falcons, and he'll be placed on Injured Reserve for the rest of the season. It's a tough loss for the Bears, as Cohen was a nice pass-catching option out of the backfield […]

Phillip Lindsay Trending In The Right Direction

Denver Broncos head coach Vic Fangio said that running back Phillip Lindsay (toe) is "trending in the right direction" to play on Thursday night against the Jets. However, if Lindsay does play after missing the last two weeks, he'll be on a limited snap count. Even against a weak Jets Defense in Week 4, Lindsay […]

Earl Thomas Visiting With Texans Defense

The Houston Texans are conducting a visit with free-agent safety Earl Thomas on Monday after he was released by the Ravens on Aug. 23.

Michael Pittman Jr. Has Surgery On Leg

Indianapolis Colts rookie wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (calf) underwent surgery to fix compartment leg syndrome in his calf on Sunday night, according to a source.

Mekhi Becton Has A Chance To Play Thursday

New York Jets head coach Adam Gase said that the team received good news on rookie left tackle Mekhi Becton (shoulder), who was forced to miss the team's Week 3 loss to the Colts. "The MRI turned out better than really we were thinking last night. We’ll see how he gets through the week and […]

Broncos Defense Loses Jurrell Casey For The Season

Denver Broncos starting defensive tackle Jurrell Casey (biceps) suffered a torn biceps in the Week 3 loss to the Buccaneers and will miss the rest of the season.

Broncos Defense Unable To Stop Tom Terrific

The Denver Broncos Defense predictably had a tough time slowing Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady down in the 28-10 Week 3 loss. With a pair of rookie cornerbacks in Michael Ojemudia and Essang Bassey, Brady threw for 297 yards and three touchdowns on the day. Denver's D was unable to force any turnovers and […]
