A.J. Green Expected To Play Against Ravens

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor expects wide receiver A.J. Green (ankle) to make his season debut in Week 10 against the Ravens. Green will return to being the team's No. 1 wideout, which is bad news for Tyler Boyd and Auden Tate, but the veteran wideout could be limited after such a long layoff. […]

Ricky Seals-Jones Working On The Side

Cleveland Browns tight end Ricky Seals-Jones (knee) is riding a bike on the side during practice on Wednesday. RSJ was injured in Week 9 and had two catches for 12 yards. Aside from a three-catch, 82-yard, one-touchdown performance on Sept. 29, Seals-Jones hasn't done much for fantasy owners. He doesn't have more than three catches […]

Red Sox, Mookie Betts Haven't Had Extension Talks

The Boston Red Sox haven't engaged outfielder Mookie Betts in contract-extension talks yet this winter, according to chief executive officer Sam Kennedy. It'll be interesting to see what the Red Sox do with Betts as they attempt to get under the luxury tax threshold in 2020. Things became more difficult when outfielder J.D. Martinez chose […]

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Russell Martin, who is 36 years old, is already working out and plans to return for his 15th season in 2020. Martin has played for 10 postseason teams in his 14 years in the big leagues, but he's yet to win a World Series and remains hungry. The Dodgers will once […]

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen's (hamstring) injury is not considered a "long-term" ailment, according to head coach Mike Zimmer.

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell (knee) took the day off to rest on Wednesday due to a sore knee, but head coach Adam Gase believes that Bell will play in Week 10 against the Giants. Bell received an MRI exam on Monday, but it seems as though he's not dealing with a very […]

Nick Chubb Could Lose Touches To Kareem Hunt

Cleveland Browns head coach Freddie Kitchens hinted that running back Nick Chubb could lose touches to Kareem Hunt now that he's back from his suspension. "Nick is about one thing and one thing only and that's winning. I don't think either one of those two are selfish at all," Kitchens said. Chubb owners had been […]

San Francisco 49ers left tackle Joe Staley (leg) went through a full practice on Tuesday for the first time since fracturing the fibula in his left leg on Sept. 15, and he thinks he'll be ready to return in Week 10 on Monday night football against the Seahawks. "I feel good," the six-time Pro Bowl […]

Keke Coutee Hasn't Played In Two Weeks

Although Houston Texans wide receiver Keke Coutee has been active, he hasn't played a single snap in the last two weeks. Coutee dropped a pass that was intercepted three weeks ago against the Colts, but he also had several mental mistakes. He's since been replaced in the slot by Deandre Carter. Head coach Bill O'Brien […]

Laremy Tunsil Expected Back In Week 11

The Houston Texans are optimistic that left tackle Laremy Tunsil (shoulder) will return in Week 11 against the Ravens after the team's Week 10 bye.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett (knee), who sprained the MCL in his left knee in the second quarter of Week 9 against the Steelers, feels significantly better on Tuesday than he did on Sunday.

Bucs Place Antony Auclair On Injured Reserve

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers placed tight end Antony Auclair (toe) on the Injured Reserve on Tuesday after he was injured in the Week 9 overtime loss to the Seahawks.

Titans Place Malcolm Butler On Injured Reserve

The Tennessee Titans placed cornerback Malcolm Butler (wrist) on the Injured Reserve on Tuesday, ending his season. Cornerback Tye Smith was re-signed in a corresponding move.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright plans to return to the team in 2020, according to president of baseball operations John Mozeliak.

Le'Veon Bell Won't Practice Wednesday

New York Jets head coach Adam Gase said that running back Le'Veon Bell (knee) will not practice on Wednesday, and the team will see how he progresses from there the rest of the week. The results of Bell's MRI exam are still unknown, but it looks as though he might be truly questionable to play […]

Sterling Shepard's Situation Is Serious

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur called wide receiver Sterling Shepard's (concussion) head injury and lingering symptoms "a serious injury." Shurmur wouldn't say if the team is considering shutting Shepard down for the rest of the season, but it sounds like it's a possibility. Shepard already has two concussions this year and was cleared […]

Arden Key Expected To Miss Rest Of Season

Oakland Raiders defensive end Arden Key (foot) broke his foot in Week 9 against the Lions and is expected to miss the rest of the season. He will get a second opinion from Dr. Robert Anderson. Key was second on the team with two sacks this year. Although Key wasn't on the radar in IDP […]

George Kittle Not Practicing Tuesday

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (knee) did not practice on Tuesday. The 49ers played last Thursday and have a Monday night game in Week 10 against the Seahawks. He hasn't shown the ceiling that he had in 2018, but he remains a high-end TE1 for a good matchup this week against the Seahawks. […]

Luke Willson Says He'll Play On Monday Night

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that tight end Luke Willson (ribs) said he will play on Monday night against the 49ers after injuring his ribs in Week 9.

Evan Engram Dealing With Sore Foot

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (foot) is dealing with a sore foot after the Monday night loss to the Cowboys. The Giants will monitor him this week, so don't be surprised if he's limited or rested in practice early in the week. Engram had over 100 yards and a touchdown in two of […]

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone announced on Tuesday that quarterback Nick Foles (collarbone), who has been activated from Injured Reserve, will regain his starting job from rookie Gardner Minshew coming out of their Week 10 bye to face the Colts on Nov. 17. Minshew has held his own in eight games with Foles sidelined, […]

James Conner To Be Limited Early In The Week

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (shoulder), who will be questionable for Week 10 against the Rams, will be limited in practice early this week. Conner could come down to a game-time decision after missing the Week 9 win over the Colts. What he's able to do in Friday's practice may ultimately tell the story […]

Adam Thielen Unlikely To Play In Week 10

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen's (hamstring) strained hamstring is no worse after he aggravated it in Week 9 against the Chiefs, but sources say he's unlikely to play in Week 10 on Sunday night against the Cowboys. The Vikings bye is two weeks away and they often tend to err on the side of […]

Cam Newton Placed On Injured Reserve

With no clear timetable for a return, the Carolina Panthers placed quarterback Cam Newton (foot) on season-ending Injured Reserve on Tuesday. Newton aggravated his Lisfranc injury in a Week 2 loss to the Buccaneers and hasn't played since. "For the past seven weeks, Cam has diligently followed a program of rest and rehab and still […]

Le'Veon Bell's Injury Not Serious

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell's (knee) injury isn't serious, and one source said he's "good" after undergoing an MRI exam on Monday. Red flags were raised when the Jets signed running back Josh Adams off their practice squad, but that move was done to block another team from adding him to their active […]

Pirates Pick Up Starling Marte's Option

The Pittsburgh Pirates will pick up their $11.5 million 2020 option on outfielder Starling Marte, according to sources. It was a no-brainer move after Marte set new career highs in home runs (23), RBI (82), runs (97), slugging percentage (.503) and OPS (.845). He also finished with a 2.9 Wins Above Replacement, which was tied […]

J.D. Martinez Doesn't Opt Out Of Deal

Boston Red Sox outfielder/designated hitter J.D.

As long as he doesn't have a lengthy stay on the injured list, Martinez […]

No Timetable For Brandin Cooks' Return

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that wide receiver Brandin Cooks' (concussion) meeting with concussion doctors in Pittsburgh went well, but the Rams don't know when Cooks will play again.

Kole Calhoun's Option Declined

The Los Angeles Angels declined their $14 million option for the 2020 season on outfielder Kole Calhoun on Monday, making him a free agent. Calhoun got off to an atrocious start in 2019 but bounced back with a solid second half to finish with a .232/.325/.467 slash line, a career-high 33 home runs, 74 RBI, […]
