Joey Bart Won't Need Surgery

Updating a previous report, San Francisco Giants catching prospect Joey Bart (thumb) was diagnosed with a non-displaced fracture of his thumb, which will not require surgery. He's expected to be recovered in four to six weeks, so he'll be ready in plenty of time for spring training in 2020. Bart was injured while playing in […]

Kurt Suzuki Injured In Game 5

Washington Nationals catcher Kurt Suzuki (wrist, face) was hit in the wrist and face by a fastball from Dodgers starter Walker Buehler in Game 5 of the National League Division Series and was forced to leave the game. Suzuki's wrist took the brunt of the impact, but the ball ricocheted and hit him in the […]

Brian McCann Retiring

Atlanta Braves catcher Brian McCann announced that he is retiring after the team's 13-1 loss to the Cardinals in Game 5 of the National League Division Series. The 35-year-old seven-time All-Star will finish his career with an overall slash line of .262/.337/.452 with 1,590 hits, 282 home runs and 1,018 RBI. He also earned a […]

Julio Jones Misses Practice Wednesday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hip) did not practice on Wednesday. After posting two 100-yard games and scoring four times in the first three weeks, Jones has gone quiet with seven catches for 92 scoreless yards the last two games. Week 6 against the Cardinals is a potential breakout game for the entire Falcons […]

C.J. Mosley Not Expected To Play In Week 6

New York Jets linebacker C.J. Mosley (groin) missed practice on Wednesday and is not expected to play in Week 6 against the Cowboys. Mosley, the team's big defensive free-agent signing, hasn't played since the season opener. His absence as the quarterback of the defensive has had a big negative effect on the Jets Defense, and […]

Brandin Cooks Limited Wednesday

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks (concussion) was limited in practice on Wednesday after suffering a concussion last Thursday. Cooks has had extra time to heal for Week 6 against the 49ers, but he must pass through the league's concussion protocol in order to have a chance. Until he gets the clearance, Cooks is […]

Todd Gurley Day-To-Day With Quad Bruise

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that running back Todd Gurley (quadriceps) is day-to-day with a left quadriceps contusion. Gurley did not practice on Wednesday. It doesn't sound like a very serious injury, but it's worth watching for a player that has had his workload scaled back due to knee issues this year. […]

Drew Brees' Rehab Going Well

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (thumb) said on Wednesday that his rehab for a surgically repaired right thumb is going as planned and he hopes to be throwing a football "sooner rather than later." Brees is at least several weeks away from a return, but his owners will be happy to know he's on […]

Kenny Stills Limited In Practice

Houston Texans wide receiver Kenny Stills (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Stills was limited in practice all week and was inactive in the Week 5 win against the Falcons. In his absence, Keke Coutee filled the slot and had three catches for 72 yards in his best game of […]

Courtland Sutton, Emmanuel Sanders Limited Wednesday

Denver Broncos wide receivers Courtland Sutton (leg) and Emmanuel Sanders (knee) were both limited in practice on Thursday. Both players should be fine for Week 6 against the Titans unless they suffer a setback in practice this week. Sutton has outproduced Sanders the last couple of weeks and is turning into quarterback Joe Flacco's favorite […]

Joey Bart Injured In AFL

San Francisco Giants catching prospect Joey Bart (thumb) suffered a right thumb fracture after he was hit by a pitch in the Arizona Fall League on Tuesday night. He is seeing a hand specialist on Wednesday. Bart just couldn't get away from hand injuries this year, as he also suffered a hand fracture earlier this […]

Kike Hernandez Getting Nod In Left Field

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Kike Hernandez is starting in left field and is batting seventh in Game 5 of the National League Division Series against Nationals starter Stephen Strasburg on Wednesday. Rookie Gavin Lux is starting on the bench with Max Muncy at the keystone. Hernandez has a double and two RBI in three at-bats […]

Victor Robles Still Out For Game 5

Washington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles (hamstring) remains out of the starting lineup for Game 5 of the National League Division Series against the Dodgers on Wednesday. Michael A. Taylor will remain in center field and bat eighth against Dodgers starter Walker Buehler. Taylor is 3-for-7 (.429) with a walk and strikeout in the series, but […]

49ers Lose Right Tackle For 4-6 Weeks

San Francisco 49ers right tackle Mike McGlinchey (knee) will be out four to six weeks. With left tackle Joe Staley and fullback Kyle Juszczyk also injured, it's a big blow for the team's offensive line and run blocking ahead of Matt Breida and Tevin Coleman. It's something to keep an eye on moving forward, but […]

Jalen Ramsey To Be Limited Wednesday

Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey (back) is expected to attempt to practice in a limited fashion on Wednesday just two days after seeing a specialist for his back. Ramsey is still requesting a trade, but showing other teams he's healthy is probably the best way to get his wish. He's missed the last two games. […]

Tyreek Hill Limited Wednesday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (shoulder) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Hill is on track to return from his collarbone injury in an expected shootout in Week 6 against the Texans. He will return immediately to high-end WR1 value if he's active, which would be a nice boost after Sammy Watkins (hamstring) […]

Marquise Brown, Mark Andrews Miss Practice

Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Marquise Brown (ankle) and tight end Mark Andrews (shoulder) both missed practice on Wednesday. Brown missed a large chunk of the Week 5 win over the Steelers, but the team doesn't think his injury is very serious. Fantasy owners will feel more confident plugging him into their lineups as a […]

Hunter Henry Will Be Limited Wednesday

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Hunter Henry (knee) will practice on a limited basis on Wednesday. While it's a great sign for Henry, it's no guarantee that he'll return to action in Week 6 on Sunday night against the Steelers. However, he could have a good chance to play in Week 7 against Tennessee if […]

Julian Edelman, Josh Gordon, Rex Burkhead Questionable

New England Patriots wide receivers Julian Edelman (chest) and Josh Gordon (knee) and running back Rex Burkhead (foot) are all listed as questionable for Thursday night against the Giants. Burkhead practiced in full on Wednesday, while Edelman and Gordon were limited all week. Edelman and Gordon are expected to suit up and need to be […]

Phillip Dorsett Ruled Out For Thursday

New England Patriots wide receiver Phillip Dorsett (hamstring) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 6 on Thursday night against the Giants. Julian Edelman (chest) and Josh Gordon (knee) are also questionable, but they should both play in an excellent matchup against New York's soft secondary. With Dorsett out, rookie Jakobi […]

Aroldis Chapman, Zack Britton Are Fine

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that closer Aroldis Chapman (hand) "is fine" after getting hit on the hand during the celebration after beating the Twins in the American League Division Series. Boone also said that reliever pitcher Zack Britton (ankle) could pitch on Wednesday if needed. The Yankees will have both lefties at […]

Aaron Hicks Could Be Added To ALCS Roster

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that outfielder Aaron Hicks (elbow) is in "consideration" to be added to the roster for the American League Championship Series against either the Astros or Rays. Hicks is doing some hitting at the stadium on Wednesday. Injuries have kept Hicks to only 59 games this year, and he's […]

Mason Rudolph Practices Wednesday

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph (concussion) practiced on Wednesday, but he remains in the league's concussion protocol. Rudolph was knocked unconscious in Week 5 and had to be helped off the field. It's a good sign that he's making progress, but it still seems doubtful that he'll be allowed to play on Sunday night against […]

Christian Kirk, Damiere Byrd Practicing Wednesday

Arizona Cardinals wide receivers Christian Kirk (ankle) and Damiere Byrd (hamstring) both returned to practice on Wednesday. It would seem as though Kirk and Byrd have a good shot a playing in Week 6 against the Falcons. That'd be bad news for rookie Keesean Johnson and Trent Sherfield, who failed to capitalize with Kirk and […]

David Johnson Working On The Side Wednesday

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (back) was working on the side during practice on Wednesday. Johnson was effective in the Week 5 win over the Bengals, but he battled a back injury during the game and will be monitored this week. It doesn't mean that he won't play in a juicy Week 6 matchup […]

Philip Rivers Loses His Center

The Los Angeles Chargers placed center Mike Pouncey (neck) on the Injured Reserve on Wednesday and signed center/guard Ryan Groy in a corresponding move. It's another injury in a long list for the Chargers this year, as usual. Quarterback Philip Rivers looked his age in Week 5 in a home loss to a Broncos Defense […]

Christian McCaffrey Misses Practice Wednesday

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (back) did not practice on Wednesday. It's worth watching, as McCaffrey left the game late in the Week 5 win over the Jaguars with cramping. Rookie Reggie Bonnafon entered and ran for 80 yards and a touchdown. He's McCaffrey's top handcuff and is worth picking up this week if […]

Patrick Mahomes Says He's Fine

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (ankle) said his ankle is feeling good on Wednesday and that he'll be fine moving around. Mahomes tweaked his ankle in the Sunday night loss to the Colts, but he'll practice this week and should be fine to play in an expected shootout in Week 6 against the Texans. […]

Saquon Barkley Won't Play Thursday

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 6 against the Patriots on Thursday night. Barkley is getting very close and could very well return in Week 7 in an excellent matchup against the Cardinals. With Wayne Gallman (concussion) also ruled out for Thursday, it'll be a combination of […]

Sterling Shepard, Evan Engram, Wayne Gallman Ruled Out

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (concussion), tight end Evan Engram (knee) and running back Wayne Gallman (concussion) have all been ruled out for Thursday night's game against the Patriots. With Saquon Barkley (ankle) out another week too, it'll be rookie Jonathan Hilliman and Elijhaa Penny in the backfield against the Patriots' league-best defense. […]
