Browns Defense To Be Without Greedy Williams, Mack Wilson

Cleveland Browns cornerbacks Greedy Williams (shoulder) and Kevin Johnson (liver) and linebacker Mack Wilson (knee) have been ruled out for Week 1 against the Ravens. Cleveland's secondary is short-handed with Williams and Johnson sidelined and rookie safety Grant Delpit on Injured Reserve. That's not a good combination with Lamar Jackson and the explosive Ravens offense […]

Danny Amendola, Jeff Okudah Questionable Against Bears

Detroit Lions wide receiver Danny Amendola (hamstring) and cornerback Jeff Okudah (hamstring) are questionable for Week 1 against the Bears. Amendola was limited in practice all week, so he has a pretty good chance of suiting up. With Kenny Golladay (hamstring) doubtful to play, Amendola could see his fair share of targets from quarterback Matthew […]

Duke Johnson Dealing With Sprained Ankle

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson (ankle), who sprained his ankle in the Thursday night loss to the Chiefs, is now questionable for the team's Week 2 contest against the Ravens, according to a source. Johnson injured himself in the second half of the game and never returned, finishing with five carries for just 14 […]

David Montgomery, Cordarrelle Patterson Questionable

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery (groin), wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson (knee), wide receiver Javon Wims (Achilles) and linebacker Khalil Mack (knee) are all questionable for Week 1 against the Lions. Montgomery has practiced in full the last two days, however, so it sounds as though he'll be active in the season opener. If he's […]

Broncos Extend Brandon McManus For Four Years

The Denver Broncos are giving kicker Brandon McManus a four-year, $17.2 million contract extension on Friday, including $9.5 million fully guaranteed. McManus has one of the strongest legs in the NFL and kicks half his games in altitude in Denver. The 29-year-old has hit 81.5 percent of his field-goal attempts in his six years in […]

Brandon Aiyuk Listed As Questionable

San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Week 1 against the Cardinals on Sunday. Aiyuk got in some practice time on Friday, so he definitely has a chance to make his NFL debut in the season opener. However, it remains to be seen how much he'd see the […]

Deebo Samuel Ruled Out For Week 1

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (foot) has been ruled out for Week 1 against the Cardinals. Samuel didn't practice this week, but he's ahead of schedule and could make his season debut next week against the Jets. When he's ready to return, Samuel should be quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo's No. 1 receiver, making him […]

Josh Norman Ruled Out For Bills Defense

Buffalo Bills cornerback Josh Norman (hamstring) was ruled out for the Week 1 season opener against the Jets. Defensive tackle Vernon Butler (hamstring) has been listed as questionable. Norman is hoping to be a veteran presence for Buffalo's strong defense in 2020, but he'll be on the sidelines for the first game. Expect Levi Wallace […]

Eagles Expect Good Things From Jalen Reagor

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver Jalen Reagor (shoulder) is on track to make his NFL debut in Week 1 against the Washington Football Team. Head coach Doug Pederson said they increased Reagor's workload this week. The team will watch him over the next 48 hours, but they "expect some good things." Reagor was also taken […]

Denzel Mims Not Looking Good For Sunday

New York Jets rookie wide receiver Denzel Mims (hamstrings) will not practice on Friday. Head coach Adam Gase said Mims had an issue with his other hamstring, and "it's not looking good" for the rookie making his NFL debut in Week 1 against the Bills. The 22-year-old out of Baylor wasn't trending as much of […]

Mike Evans Doubtful To Face Saints

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) is listed as doubtful to face the Saints in Week 1 on Sunday. There was some optimism building around Evans after he did some individual drills in practice on Friday, but his soft-tissue injury will likely keep him out and somewhat spoil quarterback Tom Brady's debut with […]

Kenny Golladay Doubtful For Week 1

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Week 1 against the Bears after injuring his hamstring in practice this week. Golladay injured himself on Wednesday, sat out on Thursday and was "very limited" Friday, so fantasy managers need to start making other plans for the season opener. It's a rough […]

Courtland Sutton A Long Shot To Play On Monday

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton (shoulder), who sprained his AC joint in practice on Thursday, appears to be a long shot to play on Monday night against the Titans in Week 1. He did not practice on Friday. Sutton hasn't officially been ruled out, but he seems doubtful at this point and should probably […]

Tua Tagovailoa Will Be Available In Week 1

Miami Dolphins first-round quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (hip), who fractured and dislocated his hip in college last November, was a full practice participant this week and will be ready and available for the season opener on Sunday against the Patriots. The rookie from Alabama will open the season as veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick's primary backup, but Tagovailoa […]

Mike Evans Likely To Be Game-Time Decision

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) is likely to be a game-time decision for Week 1 on Sunday against the Saints. "He did some individual stuff today. We'll see if he's sore tomorrow. It'll probably be a game-time decision," Arians said. There remains optimism that Evans will […]

Kevin Stefanski To Call Plays In 2020

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters on Friday that he will call the offensive plays in his first season as head coach, but he'll also work collaboratively with offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt. The Browns were a huge disappointment in 2019 under Freddie Kitchens, but Stefanski's vision for Cleveland's 2020 offense is expected […]

Mike Pouncey Not Expected To Play In Week 1

Los Angeles Chargers center Mike Pouncey (hip), who missed practice this week with a hip injury, is not expected to play in the Week 1 season opener against the Bengals, according to sources. It's a blow to the Chargers offensive line right out of the gate, as the 31-year-old eight-year veteran started all 16 games […]

Cowboys Sign DeMarcus Lawrence To Voidable Extension

The Dallas Cowboys signed defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence to a one-year voidable extension on Friday for salary cap purposes, converting $15 million of his 2020 base salary into a signing bonus and clearing $12 million in cap space this year, according to a source. Lawrence is already under contract through the 2023 season. Dallas plans […]

Patriots Give Stephon Gilmore A Raise

The New England Patriots gave reigning Defensive Player of the Year Stephon Gilmore a significant raise on Friday, bumping his salary from $10.5 million to $15.5 million this year with a chance to earn up to $17.5 million in incentives. This comes despite the fact that Gilmore has two years left on his contract, according […]

Kenny Golladay To Be Limited Friday

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay (hamstring) will be "very limited" in practice on Friday, according to head coach Matt Patricia. Golladay injured his hamstring in practice on Wednesday and wasn't on the field Thursday, so this is an injury situation that bears watching all the way up until game time on Sunday. There's a […]

Mike Evans At Practice Friday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) is at practice on Friday, and there is optimism that he'll be fine for Week 1 against the Saints after dealing with a soft-tissue injury this week. Evans could still get a questionable tag for the season opener, but unless he suffers some sort of setback, he's […]

Charvarius Ward Fractures Hand

Kansas City Chiefs starting cornerback Charvarius Ward (hand) suffered a fractured hand in Thursday night's win over the Texans and will be re-evaluated on Friday to determine how much time he will miss. Ward will have surgery on his broken hand, but based on the position he plays, it wouldn't be unprecedented if he puts […]

Quenton Nelson Misses Practice Thursday

Indianapolis Colts All-Pro left guard Quenton Nelson (back) did not practice on Thursday. Left tackle Anthony Castonzo (oblique) and center Ryan Kelly (knee) were both limited participants for the second straight day. Castonzo and Kelly should be fine for the season opener against the Jaguars in Week 1, but Nelson's status is more up in […]

Deebo Samuel Misses Practice Again

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (foot) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Samuel still has a shot to play in Week 1 against the Cardinals, but he'll have to get in at least a limited practice session on Friday. And even if the team's top wideout does suit up, he […]

Courtland Sutton Injured Thursday

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton made a reaching catch in practice on Thursday and fell to the ground. Sutton headed to the locker room with trainers after the play with an undisclosed injury. With All-Pro linebacker Von Miller (ankle) suffering a season-ending surgery on Tuesday, this is the last thing Denver wanted to see […]

Broncos Defense Loses Some Luster After Von Miller Injury

The Denver Broncos Defense can still be a borderline starting option for fantasy managers in 2020 after they were a late-round option in drafts, but the season-ending injury to All-Pro pass-rusher Von Miller (ankle) lowers their overall ceiling. Denver lost Pro Bowl cornerback Chris Harris Jr. and defensive lineman Derek Wolfe in the offseason, but […]

Royce Freeman The Team's No. 3 Back

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman's spot on the 53-man roster was considered shaky before training camp, but he enters Week 1 against the Titans on Monday night as the No. 3 back behind Melvin Gordon III and Phillip Lindsay. Gordon and Lindsay could wind up sharing the workload in more of an even 50/50 […]

Drew Lock Says Offense Has Been Clicking

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock said something clicked for him and the offense over the final week of training camp practices. Denver's offense could benefit from an element of surprise on Monday night against the Titans, as no teams have film of offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur's new offense. Lock said he's far more comfortable heading […]

Jerry Jeudy Has A Chance To Be Special

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Jerry Jeudy has a chance to be special and have a phenomenal career in the NFL. Jeudy, a first-round pick in April, was listed as a co-starter with Tim Patrick at the receiver spot earlier this week, opposite Courtland Sutton. The Alabama product worked extensively with the first-team offense for […]

Noah Fant Being Moved Around In Offense

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant said "I'm moving around a lot and he's using me in different places," when asked about offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur's approach in training camp. It remains to be seen how much the Broncos use two-tight end sets, but Fant will be the club's primary pass-catching tight end regardless. The […]
