Adam Humphries Misses Practice Again

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Adam Humphries (ankle) missed practice again on Wednesday. Humphries hasn't played or practiced since Dec. 1, so he shouldn't be expected to suit up for the Divisional Round against the Ravens. Even if he did, he wouldn't be on the fantasy radar after catching 37 passes for 374 yards and two […]

Adam Thielen Lands On Injury Report

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (ankle) was added to the injury report for the Divisional Round against the 49ers and was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday.

Vikings Optimistic On Stefon Diggs

Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer is optimistic that wide receiver Stefon Diggs (illness) will be fine for Saturday in the Divisional Round against the 49ers.

Brewers Give Craig Counsell Contract Extension

The Milwaukee Brewers are signing manager Craig Counsell to a contract extension that will run through the 2023 season, according to sources. It's a well-deserved extension, as Counsell led the Brew Crew to a National League Championship appearance in 2018 before a wild-card showing this past season. The 49-year-old coach started as the head man […]

Mark Ingram Day-To-Day

Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman said that running back Mark Ingram (calf) is "day-to-day." Ingram wasn't spotted at practice on Tuesday after feeling tightness in his calf. Holding him out was a precaution after he was going full speed in practice the previous week. It's a setback, though, and it makes Ingram's status for […]

Eric Weddle Undergoes Surgery

Los Angeles Rams safety Eric Weddle (knee) underwent a meniscus trim and is expected to recover in weeks, not months. Somehow, it was the 35-year-old's first ever surgery. In his first season with the Rams, Weddle had 108 total tackles (69 solo) and four passes defensed over a full season. He clearly still has some […]

Teddy Bridgewater Unlikely To Leave Saints

New Orleans Saints quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, who will be an unrestricted free agent in March, will be tough to pry away from the Saints, even if Drew Brees returns for another season. It would likely take a good team that isn't expected to draft a quarterback in the upcoming draft. The Dolphins could be a […]

Tom Brady Says He Has More To Prove

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, who will become an unrestricted free agent in March, said that it was "probably unlikely" that he'd retire following the wild-card loss to the Titans last weekend, and he wrote on his Instagram account on Wednesday that "I still have more to prove."

Stefon Diggs Out Sick Tuesday

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs (illness) isn't practicing on Tuesday due to an illness. Diggs should be fine to play in the Divisional Round game against the 49ers on Saturday, but it's something to monitor the rest of the week. The Vikings No. 1 wideout caught just two of three targets for 19 yards […]

Dion Lewis Limited At Practice

Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis (shoulder) was a limited participant in practice on Tuesday. Lewis should be able to play this Saturday against the Titans as the little-used backup to stud running back Derrick Henry. Even in this run-first offense, Lewis has just 54 carries this year for 209 yards and no rushing scores. […]

Adam Humphries Misses Practice, Kalif Raymond Returns

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Adam Humphries (ankle) did not practice on Tuesday, but wide receiver Kalif Raymond (concussion) was a full participant. Humphries hasn't played in five weeks, so he doesn't appear close to returning for the Divisional Round against the Ravens this Saturday. Raymond, however, looks to have cleared the concussion protocol and should […]

Mark Andrews Limited In Practice Tuesday

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) was limited in practice on Tuesday. Andrews sat out in Week 17 with nothing on the line, but he'll be back in action in the Divisional Round against the Titans.

Redskins Hiring Scott Turner As Offensive Coordinator

The Washington Redskins are hiring ex-Panthers assistant Scott Turner as their new offensive coordinator on Tuesday, according to a source.

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that wide receiver Jaron Brown (knee, personal) is expected back for the Divisional Round against the Packers on Sunday and should be in meetings on Tuesday. Brown missed the wild-card win over the Eagles with a personal matter, and his knee isn't considered an issue. The 29-year-old has […]

Joe Judge To Be Giants Next Head Coach

The New York Giants are hiring Patriots special teams and wide receivers coach Joe Judge to be their next head coach on Tuesday, according to a source. Judge had an offer to be the head coach at his alma mater at Mississippi State, but he delayed the decision long enough for the Giants to offer […]

Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt (pectoral) played just 16 of 36 defensive snaps in the first half of the wild-card win over the Bills, but he saw 34 of 44 snaps in the second half. Houston's pass rush came to life in the second half, and Watt had a big sack of quarterback Josh […]

Rams Fire Wade Phillips

The Los Angeles Rams fired defensive coordinator Wade Phillips on Monday, according to a person with knowledge of the situation.

LA allowed 339.6 yards per game (13th in the […]

Tom Brady Not Guaranteed To Stay In New England

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, who will be a free agent in March, is far from a guarantee to re-sign with the Patriots. Brady played potentially his final home game as a member of the Patriots on Saturday when they lost to the Titans in the wild-card game. He didn't have a ton of […]

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Dee Ford (hamstring) and linebacker Kwon Alexander (pectoral) are both expected to return for the Divisional Round game against the Vikings on Saturday.

Philadelphia Eagles right guard Brandon Brooks (shoulder) said that he'll have shoulder surgery on Thursday and expects to be good to go for training camp this summer.
