Will Fuller A Long Shot To Play

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller (groin) is a real long shot to play in the wild-card game against the Bills on Saturday, according to multiple sources. Head coach Bill O'Brien said earlier on Thursday that Fuller would be a game-time decision. The good news is that the Texans game is the first of the […]

Julian Edelman Questionable Against Titans

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (knee, shoulder) was limited in practice all week and is questionable for the wild-card game against the Titans on Saturday night. Edelman clearly isn't 100 percent, but he'll play this weekend. After going eight straight weeks with double-digit targets, Tom Brady's top target has just 18 targets combined […]

Domingo German Suspended 81 Games

New York Yankees starting pitcher Domingo German was suspended for 81 games on Thursday for violating the league's domestic-violence policy. German was on administrative leave for the final 18 games of last year, including nine postseason games, so he will sit out the first 63 games of the 2020 season. The right-hander will not appeal […]

Braves Make Four-Year Offer To Josh Donaldson

The Atlanta Braves have made a four-year offer to third baseman Josh Donaldson, according to a source with knowledge of the team's plans. The Nationals and Twins have also made four-year offers to Donaldson, so the former MVP will have his choice of the three clubs. The 34-year-old might prefer to re-sign with the Braves […]

Dalvin Cook, Alexander Mattison Practicing In Full

Minnesota Vikings running backs Dalvin Cook (shoulder) and Alexander Mattison (ankle) practiced in full for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Both players are on track to suit up for the wild-card game against the Saints on Sunday. Cook has missed a couple of games now with his injury, but he should jump […]

Adoree' Jackson Good To Go For Wild-Card Game

Tennessee Titans cornerback Adoree' Jackson (foot) said he's good to go for the wild-card game against the Patriots on Saturday night. Jackson, who has missed the last four games, is the Titans' best cover corner, so getting him back for the first game of the playoffs is huge for Tennessee's secondary. It remains to be […]

Adam Humphries Won't Play Saturday

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said that wide receiver Adam Humphries (ankle) is out for the wild-card game against the Patriots on Saturday night. Humphries has missed the last five games and wouldn't be a lock to play in the Divisional Round if the Titans pulled the upset in New England. A.J. Brown, Corey […]

Zach Ertz Practicing Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz (ribs, kidney) is practicing again on Thursday, but he hadn't been cleared for contact as of Wednesday and could very well be a game-time decision on Sunday night against the Seahawks in the wild-card round. With Philly not playing until Sunday night and with Ertz listed as the top-priced […]

Miles Sanders, Nelson Agholor Not At Practice

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders (ankle) and wide receiver Nelson Agholor (knee) are not at practice on Thursday. Despite not practicing, Sanders is expected to play in the wild-card game on Sunday night against the Seahawks. Agholor, on the other hand, is not expected to be available. As the fourth most expensive running […]

White Sox Reach Extension With Luis Robert

The Chicago White Sox signed center field prospect Luis Robert to a six-year, $50 million deal on Thursday, according to sources. The deal includes two club options. With no service-time manipulation necessary, Robert will begin the 2020 season on Chicago's roster. Robert is a five-tool star who was named Minor League Player of the Year […]

Jamaal Williams Returns To Practice

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams (shoulder) returned to practice on Thursday after missing the Week 17 regular season finale. Williams will have another week to heal up with the Packers securing a first-round bye in the playoffs, so he should be plenty ready to go for the Divisional Round. As the second fiddle […]

J.J. Watt Will Play Against Bills

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said that defensive end J.J. Watt (pectoral) will play against the Bills in the wild-card game on Saturday and "be in there quite a bit." Watt hasn't played since Oct. 27, however, so it's fair to wonder how effective he'll be after such a long layoff. But the Texans […]

Will Fuller To Be Game-Time Decision

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said that he expects wide receiver Will Fuller (groin) to be a game-time decision for the wild-card game against the Bills on Saturday. The good news is that the Texans play the first game of wild-card weekend, so those playing in DFS tournaments will know right away. The oft-injured […]

Dellin Betances Expects To Be Ready For Spring Training

New York Mets relief pitcher Dellin Betances (Achilles, shoulder) remains on track to be ready for spring training despite pitching in just one game with the Yankees in 2019. Betances didn't need surgery after he suffered a partially torn left Achilles on Sept. 15. The hard-throwing right-hander has spent the last three months rehabbing, and […]

Robinson Chirinos, Will Harris Could Sign Soon

Catcher Robinson Chirinos and relief pitcher Will Harris could come off the market soon. Chirinos is said to be close to making a decision, while Harris has multiple multi-year offers worth $6-7 million annually, according to sources. Chirinos isn't the most polished of defensive catchers, but he did hit 17 home runs in 114 games […]

Front-Runners Emerge For Marcell Ozuna

The market for outfielder Marcell Ozuna is gaining steam, and the Reds, Cardinals and Rangers appear to be the front-runners for his services at this time, according to a source. Along with Nicholas Castellanos, Ozuna is the top corner outfield bat on the open market going into the new year. While he remains a streaky […]

Nolan Arenado Has 50/50 Chance Of Being Traded

Colorado Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado has around a 50/50 chance of being traded this offseason, with a half-dozen teams checking in on him, according to sources. The Dodgers aren't the most likely destination, though, as the Rockies prefer not to trade Arenado within the division. The Rockies would obviously secure a huge return for […]

Colts Expected To Move On From Eric Ebron

Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard said "we'll probably move on" from tight end Eric Ebron, who will be a free agent in March. Ebron predictably fell short in 2019 after a career year in 2018 with Andrew Luck in which he caught a league-high 13 touchdown passes. The 26-year-old played in just 11 games […]

Jury Still Out On Jacoby Brissett

Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard said that "the jury is still out on Jacoby Brissett" after the 2019 season. In the first season after Andrew Luck's surprise retirement, Brissett went 272-for-447 (60.8 percent) for 2,942 yards, 18 touchdowns and six interceptions in 15 games. He added 56 rushing attempts for 228 yards and four […]

Julian Edelman Says He Feels Good

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (knee, shoulder) will be on the field for the wild-card game against the Titans on Saturday night, and he said he feels good. He's been limited in practice in recent weeks and hasn't put up the numbers he was putting up earlier in the year in the last […]

Mark Ingram, Mark Andrews Not Practicing Tuesday

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram (calf) and tight ends Mark Andrews (ankle) and Hayden Hurst were not seen at practice on Tuesday. The Ravens have a first-round bye after locking up the No. 1 seed in the AFC, so they will not play this weekend. Expect them to rest Ingram, Andrews and all the […]

Bears Part Ways With Offensive Coordinator

The Chicago Bears dismissed offensive coordinator Mark Helfrich, tight ends coach Kevin Gilbride, offensive line coach Harry Hiestand and assistant special teams coach Brock Olivo on Tuesday. With quarterback Mitch Trubisky taking a step backwards in 2020, Helfrich gets the axe. The Bears finished with 296.8 yards per game (fourth worst) and 17.5 points per […]

Trey Burton, Roquan Smith Undergo Surgeries

Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Pace revealed on Tuesday that tight end Trey Burton (hip) and linebacker Roquan Smith (pectoral) recently underwent surgeries. Burton played in just eight games this year and was placed on Injured Reserve with a calf injury. He's caught only 68 passes with six touchdowns (all in 2018) in his two […]

Jets Will Listen To Le'Veon Bell Offers This Offseason

New York Jets general manager Joe Douglas said that the team will listen to trade offers for running back Le'Veon Bell this offseason if other teams come calling. Head coach Adam Gase has made it crystal clear that he wasn't on board with the team signing Bell before the 2019 season, so a trade could […]

Miles Sanders Has Low-Grade Ankle Sprain

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders' (ankle) MRI exam showed a low-grade ankle sprain, according to a source. Head coach Doug Pederson said that Sanders is "going to be OK," but inflammation is the issue early in the week. Sanders seems to have a good chance of playing in the wild-card game on Sunday […]

Twins To Sign Rich Hill, Homer Bailey

The Minnesota Twins are signing starting pitchers Rich Hill and Homer Bailey to undisclosed one-year deals on Tuesday, according to a source. Hill is the more attractive piece here, but he isn't expected to be ready for the start of the 2020 season after having left elbow surgery in October. Even though he'll turn 40 […]

Anthony Miller Will Undergo Surgery

Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Pace announced on Tuesday that wide receiver Anthony Miller (shoulder) will need surgery on his left shoulder, and it will keep him out until training camp next year. Miller had surgery on the same shoulder last January as well, so it's something to watch moving forward. The second-round pick in […]

Bears Plan For Mitch Trubisky To Start In 2020

Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Pace announced that the team's plan is for quarterback Mitch Trubisky to be the starting QB in 2020. The Bears will likely look for a signal-caller in next year's draft, but they have no choice really but to give Trubisky one last shot to prove that he's a franchise quarterback. […]

Doug Marrone Will Return To Jaguars

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone will return for the 2020 season, according to sources. This comes as a big surprise, as the Jaguars were reportedly ready to fire Marrone after the Week 17 season finale. Instead, he'll get one more season to turn things around. Marrone led the Jags to a 10-6 record and […]

Chan Gailey To Become Dolphins Offensive Coordinator

The Miami Dolphins are hiring Chan Gailey, who is coming out of retirement, to be their next offensive coordinator, according to sources. Gailey hasn't coached in the NFL in the last three seasons, so it remains to be seen if this will be a successful move for a Dolphins team in rebuild mode looking for […]
