Duke Johnson Has A Shot To Play In Week 2

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson (ankle) practiced on a limited basis on Thursday for the second straight day. Johnson was listed as week-to-week after suffering an ankle injury last Thursday in the season opener, but it looks as though he's made some quick progress. However, even if the 27-year-old winds up playing against a […]

Michael Pittman Jr. Lands On Injury Report

Indianapolis Colts rookie wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (toe) was a limited practice participant on Thursday after not showing up on the injury report on Wednesday. Pittman should be good to go on Sunday against the Vikings as long as he doesn't have any setbacks. The talented big-bodied receiver played fewer snaps than Zach Pascal […]

Jack Doyle Misses Another Practice

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle (ankle, knee) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday. The Pro Bowl tight end is now in serious doubt to play in Week 2 against the Vikings. With Trey Burton already on the shelf with an injury, Mo Alie-Cox would be forced into a starting role if […]

John Brown Back At Practice Thursday

Buffalo Bills wide receiver John Brown (foot) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Barring a setback, Brown should be expected to suit up in Week 2 against the Dolphins. The 30-year-old had six catches on a team-high 10 targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in Week 1 against the Jets, […]

James Conner, JuJu Smith-Schuster Return To Practice

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (ankle) and wide receivers JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) and Diontae Johnson (toe) all returned to practice on Thursday. Conner, who was an injury disappointment in 2019, was injured in the season opener and gave way to an efficient Benny Snell Jr. If Conner can avoid setbacks on Friday, he should […]

C.J. Uzomah Leaves Thursday's Game On A Cart

Cincinnati Bengals tight end C.J. Uzomah (Achilles) has been declared out for the Thursday night game after leaving the contest on a cart with an Achilles injury. The only good news here is that Uzomah had four receptions on six targets for 42 yards and a touchdown before departing with what looks to be a […]

Amari Cooper Limited In Practice

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper (foot) was limited in practice on Thursday, while left tackle Tyron Smith (neck) sat out. With La'el Collins and Cam Erving already on Injured Reserve, Smith's injury is one to watch heading into Week 2 against the Falcons. Cooper should be good to go this weekend as long as […]

Chiefs Want Clyde Edwards-Helaire To Improve At Goal Line

Kansas City Chiefs rookie running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire ran for 138 yards in his first NFL game and leads the league in that department after just one week, but the young back needs to improve near the goal line. He gained minus-two yards on six carries in goal-to-go situations against the Texans. Running backs coach […]

Rams Looking To Give Robert Woods An Extension

On the heels of Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp's long-term contract extension, head coach Sean McVay said that the team wants to give wide receiver Robert Woods an extension next. "We want to get him extended, too. He's a huge part of what we're doing. So, that's something that, I think, is definitely […]

Michael Thomas Sits Out Again Thursday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) missed practice for the second straight day and is unlikely to play in Week 2 against the Raiders on Monday night at this point while dealing with a high ankle sprain that he suffered in Week 1. It's a really tough blow for those that took the […]

Miles Sanders Looks Good To Go

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (hamstring) practiced in full for the second straight day on Thursday, making it likely that he'll make his season debut in Week 2 against the Rams. Sanders was inactive for the season-opening upset to the Washington Football Team, with backup Boston Scott and company unable to get much going […]

A.J. Brown Likely Week-To-Week With Knee Injury

Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) missed practice on Thursday with a bone bruise in his knee that will likely make him week-to-week, according to a source. Obviously, Brown's availability for Week 2 against the Jaguars is seriously in question. The team's No. 1 wideout had a quiet game in the Week 1 win […]

Mike Pouncey Out For The Year

The Los Angeles Chargers placed starting center Mike Pouncey (hip) on Injured Reserve on Thursday, and he will miss the rest of the season because he'll need hip surgery. The Pro Bowl center injured himself prior to the season opener against the Bengals. The 31-year-old played in just five games for the Chargers last season […]

Kenny Golladay Yet To Practice This Week

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay (hamstring), who missed the season-opening loss to the Bears, missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday. Golladay hasn't been ruled out for Week 2 against the Packers, but it's obviously not a good sign, especially since he didn't play last week. The team's No. 1 wideout could […]

Allen Robinson Expects To Remain With Bears This Year

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson said he expects to finish out the year with the team, but he didn't clarify whether he or his agent formally requested a trade after being disappointed with the team's long-term contract offers. ESPN's Dan Graziano and The Chicago Tribune both reported that Robinson, who is in the final […]

Randy Bullock Good To Go, Geno Atkins Ruled Out

Cincinnati Bengals kicker Randy Bullock (calves) practiced in full on Tuesday and Wednesday and is not on the final injury report for Week 2 against the Browns. Meanwhile, star defensive tackle Geno Atkins (shoulder) missed practice all week and has been ruled out. Bullock made two of his three field-goal tries in Week 1, but […]

Jarvis Landry Questionable Against Bengals

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry (hip) is listed as questionable for the Thursday night game against the divisional-rival Bengals. Landry missed practice on Tuesday but was limited on Wednesday. He played 46 of 67 snaps in the Week 1 blowout loss to the Ravens and caught five of his six targets for 61 yards. […]

Ben Roethlisberger Extra Sore After Monday Night Game

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said he was pretty sore after the Monday night win over the Giants in Week 1, his first game in 364 days after suffering a season-ending elbow injury in 2019. "I was saying today I feel like I was just in a car accident. Yesterday I felt like I was […]

George Kittle Won't Practice This Week

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (knee) will not practice this week because of his knee injury, but the Niners remain hopeful that he will play in Week 2 against the Jets. Kittle is battling a sprained knee, but as of right now, fantasy managers should expect him to be out there this Sunday. […]

Ahkello Witherspoon In Concussion Protocol

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon (head) suffered a concussion in Week 1 against the Cardinals and is in the league's concussion protocol, according to a league source. When he's good to go he'll take over for Richard Sherman (calf), who was placed on Injured Reserve on Wednesday. The Niners are suddenly thin in the […]

Cowboys Defense Loses Sean Lee For Six Weeks

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee (hernia) is expected to be out for six weeks after having hernia surgery last week in Philadelphia with specialist Dr. William Meyers, according to sources. Lee began the season on Injured Reserve and now may not return until mid-October. It's especially notable after Leighton Vander Esch broke his collarbone in […]

Miles Sanders, Lane Johnson On Track For Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (hamstring) and left tackle Lane Johnson (ankle) are both on track to play in Week 2 against the Rams after missing the season-opening loss to Washington. The Eagles need both Sanders and Johnson back after they were upset in Week 1. The combination of Boston Scott, Corey Clement and […]

49ers Placing Richard Sherman On Injured Reserve

The San Francisco 49ers are placing cornerback Richard Sherman (calf) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday, according to sources. It's a calf strain for Sherman, but he's expected to be back in a few weeks. Sherman will be out for three weeks on IR. The 32-year-old finished the Week 1 loss against the Cardinals, so it […]

Phillip Lindsay Could Be On The Shelf For A Few Games

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay (toe) is still receiving a second opinion on his turf-toe injury, but it wouldn't be a surprise to see him miss the next few weeks based on the nature of the injury and the position he plays. But the good news is that his injury isn't considered to be […]

A.J. Bouye Expected To Miss A Few Weeks

Denver Broncos cornerback A.J. Bouye (shoulder) doesn't have surgery planned for his dislocated shoulder, according to a source. However, he'll likely be out a few weeks as he rehabs the injury. The Broncos will likely place him on Injured Reserve, which means he'd miss at least three weeks. It's a tough early season blow to […]

Falcons Sign Laquon Treadwell To Practice Squad

The Atlanta Falcons signed wide receiver Laquon Treadwell to their practice squad on Wednesday. Treadwell didn't make the club's 53-man roster out of training camp, but he'll remain with the team. A first-round pick by the Vikings in 2016, the Ole Miss product never lived up to the hype as a receiver. He's got good […]

49ers, Ziggy Ansah Unable To Reach Agreement

The San Francisco 49ers visit with free-agent pass-rusher Ziggy Ansah is over, but the two sides were unable to reach an agreement on a contract, according to a source. Ansah will continue to wait for the right opportunity on the open market. The former fifth overall pick of the Lions in 2013 has a long […]

Titans Staying Faithful To Stephen Gostkowski

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said on Tuesday that he expects kicker Stephen Gostkowski to be better than he was in the 16-14 Monday night win over the Broncos, and the team still believes in him after he missed three field goals and an extra point in Week 1. Gostkowski's reputation as one of […]

Jets Sign Kalen Ballage

The New York Jets signed running back Kalen Ballage on Tuesday with Le'Veon Bell (hamstring) going on the Injured Reserve. The Jets acquired Ballage from the Dolphins around three weeks ago, but he'll officially be added to the club's 53-man roster for some running back depth with Bell out for at least three weeks and […]

Jets Put Le'Veon Bell On Injured Reserve

The New York Jets placed running back Le'Veon Bell (hamstring) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday, according to a source. Bell will be eligible to return in three weeks. The 28-year-old's disappointing two-year run with Gang Green continues, but hopefully he'll be able to return in three weeks as the team's lead back. Veteran Frank Gore […]
