San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) is likely to return in Week 5 against the Dolphins.

Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith (neck) will miss the rest of the 2020 season, according to head coach Mike McCarthy. Smith will under surgery on his neck. The 29-year-old is one of the best left tackles in the NFL, so this is a huge loss to an already beat up offensive line in Dallas. […]

Breshad Perriman Misses Another Practice

New York Jets head coach Adam Gase said that wide receiver Breshad Perriman (ankle) and rookie left tackle Mekhi Becton (shoulder) will both miss practice on Thursday.

Julio Jones Making Progress

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said that wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) is "making progress" and will do individual workouts in practice on Thursday.

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott has fumbled the ball three times through four games, losing two of them that were returned for touchdowns. "So I just got to get rid of that issue. That can't continue to be something that I do for the rest of the season. I can't give up the ball […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster, Diontae Johnson Miss Practice Wednesday

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receivers JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) and Diontae Johnson (toe) both missed practice on Wednesday. The Steelers are coming off an unexpected bye in Week 4 after the Titans had a COVID-19 outbreak, so you'd think both Smith-Schuster and Johnson would be rested up, but they both need to be monitored heading into this […]

Jimmy Garoppolo To Practice Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) will practice on Wednesday, which is a good sign for his availability in Week 5 against the Dolphins.

Titans Put Corey Davis On COVID-19 List

The Tennessee Titans placed wide receiver Corey Davis on the COVID-19 reserve list on Wednesday. It looks as though Davis was one of two more Titans players to test positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday, which makes it highly unlikely that he'll be available in Week 5 against the Bills. The outbreak continues for Tennessee, and […]

Cowboys Defense Could Be Getting Reinforcements Soon

Dallas Cowboys defensive end Randy Gregory, linebacker Leighton Vander Esch (collarbone) and cornerback Anthony Brown (ribs) could all return over the next few weeks.

Lamar Jackson Not Happy With Passing Offense

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has voiced his frustration with the team's passing offense despite a 3-1 start to the season.

Darnell Mooney Questionable For Week 5

Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Darnell Mooney (shoulder) practiced in full all week but is listed as questionable for Thursday night against the Buccaneers.
