La'Mical Perine To Have Much Bigger Role

New York Jets rookie running back La'Mical Perine will have a bigger role in the backfield alongside veteran Frank Gore now that Le'Veon Bell is out of town. "Perine's definitely going to get a bigger role. Frank, you're not going to lean on him as heavy a load. Getting Perine really involved is going to […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Remains Away From Team

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (illness) remains out of the building on Friday per the COVID-19 protocol. All Browns players and staff, including Beckham, tested negative for COVID-19 from Thursday's round of testing, according to a source. That's good news and means that OBJ should be able to play in Week 6 against […]

Falcons Cleared To Reopen Facilities

The Atlanta Falcons have been cleared by the league to reopen their facilities on Friday, according to a source. The Falcons held virtual workouts on Thursday after a positive COVID-19 test, but the result was to an assistant coach and not a player, so the team was taking all precautions. The Falcons had zero new […]

Alshon Jeffery Inching Closer To His Debut

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (foot) was a limited practice participant on Thursday.

The 30-year-old was also limited in practice last week, but he ultimately did not […]

Julian Edelman Back On Injury Report

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (knee) got in a limited practice on Thursday. Edelman is usually on the team's practice report and gets in limited practices before being active on game day.

A.J. Brown Misses Practice Thursday

Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) missed practice on Thursday. Brown returned to game action last weekend for the first time since Week 1 and didn't miss a beat, catching seven passes for 82 yards and a touchdown against the Bills. The Titans are likely easing Brown back into the practice week after he […]

Kareem Hunt Limited Again Thursday

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt (thigh) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Hunt should be able to face the Steelers on Sunday, barring some kind of setback. He had a season-high 20 carries for 72 yards and caught three passes for 21 yards and a touchdown last week against […]

Jarvis Landry Misses Another Practice

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry (hip, ribs) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday.

Laviska Shenault Jr. Gets In A Limited Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. (hamstring) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after missing practice on Wednesday. Unless he suffers a setback later this week, Shenault should be good to go in Week 6 against the Lions. The impressive rookie has seen his role expand in an offense that loves to […]

D.J. Chark Jr., Tyler Eifert Missing From Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. (ankle) and tight end Tyler Eifert (neck) were both missing from practice for the second straight day on Thursday.

Le'Veon Bell Signs One-Year Deal With Chiefs

The Kansas City Chiefs signed running back Le'Veon Bell to a one-year deal on Thursday just two days after he was released by the New York Jets. Bell sat out the 2018 season after three Pro Bowl selections and two All-Pro nods with the Steelers and looked like a shell of his former self in […]

Adrian Peterson Misses Practice With Illness

Detroit Lions running back Adrian Peterson (illness) did not practice on Thursday.

The Lions are coming off their bye week and AD had 11 carries for 36 yards and a touchdown […]

Darius Slayton Limited Thursday

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (foot) was a limited practice participant on Thursday. Barring any setbacks on Friday or Saturday, Slayton should be good to go in Week 6 against Washington. Although the Washington Football Team is holding wideouts to the third-fewest fantasy points through five weeks, Slayton remains a safe WR2 target […]

A.J. Green Not Looking To Be Traded

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green said that he's not looking to be traded ahead of the upcoming NFL trade deadline. Green said he believes that the Bengals are building something special and wants to be a part of it. The veteran wideout has been a shell of his former All-Pro self in 2020 and […]

Cam Newton, Stephon Gilmore Return To Practice

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton and cornerback Stephon Gilmore have been removed from the COVID-19 list and returned to practice on Thursday.

Melvin Gordon III Returns To Practice Thursday

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III returned to practice on Thursday. Gordon was charged with driving under the influence earlier in the week, and head coach Vic Fangio is currently undecided on whether the team will allow Gordon to play in the Week 6 matchup with the Patriots. The NFL could also hand down […]

John Curtiss To Be Used As Opener In Game 5

The Tampa Bay Rays will use right-handed pitcher John Curtiss as their opener for Game 5 of the American League Championship Series against the Astros on Thursday.

Leighton Vander Esch Could Play On Monday Night

Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said that linebacker Leighton Vander Esch (collarbone) is expected to put in a full practice on Thursday, which would put him in line to make his return on Monday night against the Cardinals.

Sam Hubbard Put On Injured Reserve

The Cincinnati Bengals placed starting defensive end Sam Hubbard (elbow) on Injured Reserve on Thursday after he suffered a left elbow injury in the Week 5 loss to the Ravens. The team also lost defensive tackle D.J. Reader to a season-ending quadriceps injury. Hubbard will miss at least three weeks and won't be eligible to […]

Dalvin Cook Misses Practice Again Thursday

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (groin) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday.

Bills Have Interest In Le'Veon Bell

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott confirmed that the team has interest in signing running back Le'Veon Bell. "We always look into every situation, this being one of them.

Odell Beckham Jr. Sent Home With Illness

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said that wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has been sent home with an illness on Thursday. The Browns aren't assuming anything with Beckham but want to play it safe amidst all the COVID-19 protocols the NFL has adopted this year. This isn't a huge concern just yet, but fantasy […]

Le'Veon Bell To Choose Between Three Teams

Former New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell plans to sign with either the Dolphins, Chiefs or Bills, according to a source. Barring a change, Bell will decide on one of those teams as early as Thursday. If he were to land in Miami, he'd immediately get a chance to take out his frustrations on […]

Darrynton Evans Placed On Injured Reserve

The Tennessee Titans moved rookie running back Darrynton Evans (hamstring) to the short-term Injured Reserve on Thursday, which means he'll miss at least three weeks after suffering a hamstring injury in the Tuesday night win over the Bills.

Washington Not Giving Up On Dwayne Haskins Jr.

Washington Football Team head coach Ron Rivera said he hasn't quit on quarterback Dwayne Haskins Jr., who was demoted to the third-string QB before the Week 5 game against the Rams. Washington has dodged questions about whether Haskins is on the trade block, but Rivera isn't giving up on the 23-year-old second-year player. "Again, as […]
