T.J. Hockenson Going On Injured Reserve

Detroit Lions head coach Matt Patricia said rookie tight end T.J. Hockenson (ankle) is going on Injured Reserve, which will end his rookie season. With just four games to play in a lost season, it makes sense for Detroit to shut Hockenson down. The 22-year-old posted his best numbers in the season opener, going for […]

Lions Not Shutting Matthew Stafford Down

Detroit Lions head coach Matt Patricia said that the team is "going to keep that door open" for quarterback Matthew Stafford (back) to return this year "out of respect for Matthew and his competitiveness." With just four games remaining and the Lions out of playoff contention, though, it seems like a long shot that we'll […]

Gardner Minshew Named Starter For Week 14

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie quarterback Gardner Minshew will start in Week 14 against the Chargers over Nick Foles, according to head coach Doug Marrone. Foles was benched in the Week 13 loss to the Bucs after throwing an interception and fumbling twice. Minshew is back in the fold after becoming an NFL phenomenon when Foles went […]

Julio Jones Trending Upward For Week 14

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said that wide receiver Julio Jones (shoulder) is trending upward in terms of his availability for Week 14 against the Panthers. Jones would've had a much better chance of playing last week had the game been on Sunday instead of on Thursday. The 30-year-old veteran left a lot of […]

Darrel Williams May Not Play In Week 14

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that there's a good chance running back Darrel Williams (hamstring) doesn't play in Week 14 against the Patriots. It's bad timing, since Williams had a receiving touchdown in the win over the Raiders and Damien Williams (ribs) isn't a lock to return against the Patriots. If both […]

Taylor Gabriel, Ben Braunecker In Concussion Protocol

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy said that wide receiver Taylor Gabriel and tight end Ben Braunecker remain in the concussion protocol. That means they're both highly questionable to play in Week 14 against the Cowboys this Thursday night. Anthony Miller went off for his best game of the season on Thanksgiving with Gabriel out […]

Cowboys Sticking With Brett Maher

Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett said that the team will stick with kicker Brett Maher after working out three kickers on Sunday. "Those three guys did a nice job for us, but Brett is going to be our kicker going forward," Garrett said. Maher will continue to kick for Dallas, but he'll be on […]

Daniel Jones Tweaks Ankle In Week 13

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said that rookie quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle) "got his ankle twisted" in the Week 13 loss to the Packers, but he said he's "fine" on Monday. He should be alright, but we'll have to watch his practice status leading up to next Monday's divisional bout with the Eagles. […]

Derek Wolfe Suffers Dislocated Elbow

Denver Broncos defensive tackle Derek Wolfe (elbow) set a new career high in sacks with seven in the Week 13 victory over the Chargers, but he also suffered a dislocated left elbow in the fourth quarter and didn't return. He had a brace on his arm after the game, and trainers were able to pop […]

Jamal Adams In Walking Boot

New York Jets safety Jamal Adams (foot) left the stadium in a walking boot on his left foot after suffering an injury in the Week 13 loss to the Bengals. Adams had just one assisted tackle in the game before leaving. He will go for more tests on Monday to determine the severity, but it […]

Chester Rogers Suffers Fractured Knee

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Chester Rogers (knee) suffered a likely season-ending fractured knee in the Week 13 loss to the Titans, although he will undergo further testing on Monday to determine the extent of the injury, according to a source. Rogers will finish the 2019 season with a career-low 16 receptions (28 targets) for 179 […]

Baker Mayfield Expected To Play In Week 14

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield (hand) doesn't think the right hand injury he suffered in Week 13's loss to the Steelers will keep him from suiting up in Week 14 against the Bengals. “I fully expect to be able to play,” Mayfield said during his postgame news conference. Head coach Freddie Kitchens said the injury […]

Austin Hooper Expected To Practice Monday

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper (knee), who has missed the last three games with an MCL injury, is expected to return to practice on Monday after he did some running on the side last week. He has a real shot at returning in Week 14 to face the Panthers. Hooper has 56 catches for […]

Josh Hader Available For Trade

Milwaukee Brewers closer Josh Hader is available in a trade this offseason, according to major league sources. "We listen on a wide variety of players throughout the offseason. A lot of players get discussed," general manager David Stearns said. Hader has been the best left-handed reliever in baseball the last few seasons, winning the Trevor […]

Sam Darnold Expected To Be Fine

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (foot) was seen limping near the end of the Week 13 loss to the Bengals, but he downplayed his injury. Head coach Adam Gase said, "He just took some shots on the last drive. He kind of got torqued a little bit, but he should be all right." Darnold […]

Broncos Defense To Be Without Von Miller

Denver Broncos outside linebacker Von Miller (knee) is inactive for Week 13 against the Chargers. It's Miller's first absence since the 2013 season. His loss is a big one for a Broncos team looking to beat the Chargers for the second time this year. Denver's D isn't a recommended fantasy play this week, and Miller […]

Hunter Renfrow Out Against Chiefs

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (rib) is inactive for Week 13 against the Chiefs. The 23-year-old was injured last Sunday against the Jets. He has 36 catches for 396 yards and two scores on the season, but it's impossible to trust any Oakland receiver outside of tight end Darren Waller and wideout Tyrell Williams, […]

KeeSean Johnson A Healthy Scratch

Arizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver Keesean Johnson is a healthy scratch for Week 13 against the Rams with running back Chase Edmonds returning to the game-day roster. The first-year wideout doesn't have more than three receptions in the 10 games he's played in this year, and he's gone for only 187 yards and one touchdown. […]

Greg Olsen Being Evaluated For Concussion

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (concussion) is being evaluated for a head injury after taking a helmet-to-helmet hit in Week 13 against the Redskins. The veteran tight end had just two catches for 14 yards before suffering the head injury, and there's a good chance he won't make it back into this game in […]

Nick Foles Benched Against Buccaneers

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Nick Foles was benched in the second half of the Week 13 game against the Buccaneers. In a great matchup with Tampa's generous secondary, Foles laid an egg. He went 7-for-14 for 93 yards, an interception and two lost fumbles. Electric rookie Gardner Minshew took over and could start under center the […]

Trey Quinn Knocked Out With Concussion

Washington Redskins wide receiver Trey Quinn (concussion) suffered a concussion in Week 13 against the Panthers and has been ruled out for the rest of the contest. Quinn came up empty on his only target in the game before leaving. With Paul Richardson inactive on Sunday, the Redskins are now down to rookies Terry McLaurin, […]

Chester Rogers Injured Against Titans

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Chester Rogers (knee) was injured in Week 13 against the Titans and will miss the rest of the game. With T.Y. Hilton (calf) and Parris Campbell (hand) inactive on Sunday, the Colts are down to just Zach Pascal, Marcus Johnson and Ashton Dulin. Expect them to continue to lean on the […]

Kalen Ballage Carted Off In Week 13

Miami Dolphins running back Kalen Ballage (leg) was carted off the field with a leg injury in Week 13 against the Eagles. It had the looks of a potential season-ender, so brace for the worst if you own Ballage. Miami's lead running back had only three attempts and gained zero yards on the ground before […]

Chris Sale Cleared To Throw

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale (elbow) had his follow-up exam with Dr. James Andrews, who administered a platelet-rich plasma injection into Sale's elbow in August, before Thanksgiving. The results were positive and Sale is now in the clear to start throwing with an eye on taking part in spring training next year. The […]

Cowboys Could Lose Amari Cooper, Byron Jones

There has been no progress on new deals for Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, wide receiver Amari Cooper and cornerback Byron Jones, who are all eligible for free agency after this season, according to sources. Prescott has built a case to become the highest paid quarterback in the league and he's the team's priority. The […]

J.J. Watt Could Return For Playoffs

Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt (pectoral) could return from Injured Reserve this season, according to sources. There is optimism that he can return for the playoffs just three months after tearing his pectoral muscle. Watt had four sacks and 20 quarterback hits in eight games before his injury, so getting him back for a […]

Titans Could Use Franchise Tag On Ryan Tannehill

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill has put himself in position for a possible franchise tag in 2020, according to sources with knowledge of the situation. Tannehill has been excellent under center since replacing Marcus Mariota, leading the team to a 4-1 record and putting them in a position to win their division. Tennessee is averaging […]

Devin Funchess Not Expected To Come Off IR

The Indianapolis Colts don't plan on activating wide receiver Devin Funchess (collarbone) off Injured Reserve by the deadline of Dec. 4, according to sources. It means that Funchess' 2019 season is over. He's recovering from a fractured collarbone suffered in the season opener, and the plate inserted into his bone didn't work out as hoped. […]

Mohamed Sanu, Phillip Dorsett Expected To Play Sunday Night

New England Patriots wide receivers Mohamed Sanu (ankle) and Phillip Dorsett (concussion) are both expected to play on Sunday night against the Texans, according to sources. Sanu was very close to suiting up last week against the Cowboys, so he should be back for this one. It's hard to forecast heavy targets for either Sanu […]

Von Miller Trending In Right Direction

Denver Broncos outside linebacker Von Miller (knee), who is considered 50-50 for Week 13 against the Chargers, is trending in the right direction to play, according to a source. Miller has played through injuries before and has a positive outlook. The former Super Bowl MVP has a total of 35 tackles and six sacks on […]
