Winter storm Henry, which has been sweeping across the U.S., is set to hit New England on Saturday night when the Patriots and Titans will face off in the wild-card game.

Mark Ingram On Track For Divisional Round

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that he expects running back Mark Ingram (calf) to practice next week, and he's on track to play in the Divisional Round next Saturday. Ingram sat out in Week 17 and will have the wild-card weekend to rest up as well, so he should be fine to play […]

Miles Sanders Says He's Good For Wild-Card Game

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders (ankle) said he is good to go for the wild-card game against the Seahawks on Sunday. Sanders didn't practice on Wednesday or Thursday, but he returned to practice on Friday and should be active on Sunday. However, he's a bust candidate for DFS as the fourth highest-priced running […]

The New York Mets have discussed with teams the concept of taking second baseman Jed Lowrie and first baseman/outfielder Dominic Smith as part of a joint package in a trade.

Tom Brady's Future With New England In Question

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and the team haven't discussed any contract talks since August, and his future is in wait-and-see mode with a wild-card game coming up against the Titans on Saturday. Will Saturday be Brady's final home game or final game with the Patriots period? Only time will tell, but the 42-year-old […]

Tre'Davious White Won't Follow DeAndre Hopkins

Buffalo Bills cornerback Tre'Davious White said he won't necessarily follow Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins all over the field in the wild-card game on Saturday.

The 2019 NFL regular season may be over, but fantasy football will continue into the postseason.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Malik Turner (concussion) and defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (abdomen) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Also missing for the second straight day were left tackle Duane Brown (biceps, knee) and linebacker Mychal Kendricks (knee). The good news is strong safety Quandre Diggs practiced in full.

Dodgers Discussing Mookie Betts

The Los Angeles Dodgers negotiations with the Boston Red Sox about outfielder Mookie Betts have become at least as frequent as their talks with the Cleveland Indians about shortstop Francisco Lindor, according to sources. The Indians want infield prospect Gavin Lux to be part of a Lindor trade, but the Dodgers have refused to include […]

Lions Defensive Coordinator Steps Down

Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Paul Pasqualoni stepped down on Thursday after coaching one of the worst defenses in 2019.

Pasqualoni is resigning in order to be closer to his family. The […]

Miles Sanders Plans To Play Sunday

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders (ankle) is hopeful of returning to practice on Friday, and a source said that his plan is to play in the wild-card game against the Seahawks on Sunday, barring a setback.

Kenny Stills Not On Final Injury Report

Houston Texans wide receiver Kenny Stills (knee) practiced in full on Thursday and was taken off the final injury report for the wild-card game against the Bills on Saturday. With Will Fuller (groin) a long shot to play, Stills would serve as the No. 2 wideout for Houston against a stingy Buffalo secondary. At $4,600 […]

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.

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.

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.

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.

As the fourth most expensive running […]

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 […]
