Texans Activate Jordan Thomas From Injured Reserve

The Houston Texans activated tight end Jordan Thomas (ribs) from the Injured Reserve on Thursday and waived defensive end Joel Heath and wide receiver Steven Mitchell in corresponding moves. As a sixth-round rookie last year, Thomas had 20 receptions for 215 yards and four touchdowns. Thomas has some long-term intrigue, but he'll return to a […]

Jonathan Williams Expected To Start Thursday

The Indianapolis Colts are expected to treat running back Jonathan Williams as the starter on Thursday night against the Texans. It doesn't mean that Williams will see the most touches in a backfield that will also feature Jordan Wilkins and Nyheim Hines in Marlon Mack's (hand) absence, but it's good news for those relying on […]

Nelson Agholor Says He's Day-To-Day

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor (knee) said he is day-to-day, and he is hoping to get back on the practice field on Friday. Agholor is on the wrong side of questionable as things stand now, but he'd be in play to suit up if he was able to practice on Friday. Alshon Jeffery (ankle) […]

Phillip Dorsett Returns To Limited Practice

New England Patriots wide receiver Phillip Dorsett (concussion) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session. While Dorsett still needs final clearance from the concussion protocol, there's optimism that he'll get it and be able to play in Week 12 against the Cowboys. Even with Mohamed Sanu (ankle) out possibly multiple games, […]

Emmanuel Sanders, Matt Breida, Robbie Gould Not Practicing

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (ribs), running back Matt Breida (ankle) and kicker Robbie Gould (quadriceps) are not practicing on Thursday for the second straight day. Sanders is looking more spry in his rehab than he did last week, so he should be able to play on Sunday night as long as he […]

George Kittle, Deebo Samuel Doing Non-Contact Work

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (knee) and rookie wide receiver Deebo Samuel (shoulder) are taking part in practice on Thursday in non-contact jerseys. It's progress for both players, especially for Kittle, who has missed the last two games. The problem for both if they are game-time decisions is that they play on Sunday […]

Robert Woods Will Practice Thursday

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods has returned to the team and will practice on Thursday, according to head coach Sean McVay. However, Woods' status for Monday night against the Ravens is still undecided. Woods was a surprise scratch last Sunday night due to personal reasons. Unless we get definitive word that he'll play […]

Diontae Johnson, Benny Snell Jr. Practicing In Full

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (concussion) and running back Benny Snell Jr. (knee) were both full participants in practice on Thursday. Johnson must still be cleared by an independent neurologist, but his chances of playing in Week 12 against the Bengals are looking good despite being carted off after a scary head injury in […]

James Conner, JuJu Smith-Schuster Miss Practice Again

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (shoulder) and wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion, knee) both missed practice for the second day in a row on Thursday, and both are not expected to play in Week 12 against the Bengals. You should've already been planning to be without both players this week. The goods news is […]

Will Fuller Expected To Play Thursday

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller (hamstring), who is a game-time decision for Thursday night against the Colts, is expected to play. Fuller brings a deep element to this offense, but he's been out since Week 7 and the Texans offense as a whole has struggled in his absence. He was injured in the last […]

Tim Patrick Returns To Practice Thursday

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick (shoulder) is practicing on Thursday after being held out on Wednesday. It's a good sign for his availability in Week 12 against the Bills after he made his season debut in Week 11. Patrick effectively served as the No. 2 wideout behind Courtland Sutton, catching four of his eight […]

T.Y. Hilton Expected To Play Thursday

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (calf), who is questionable for Thursday night against the Texans, believes he's good to go. The Colts don't have any issues with him not practicing and playing in Week 12. The Texans have been game-planning for him to play and expect him to be on the field. You'll still […]

Myles Garrett's Suspension Upheld

Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett's suspension appeal was upheld by the NFL, and he is suspended for the rest of the season and postseason. He can apply for reinstatement when the season ends. Garrett lost his cool at the end of last Thursday's game and hit Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph in the head with […]

Auden Tate, Stanley Morgan Jr. Miss Another Practice

Cincinnati Bengals wide receivers Auden Tate (concussion) and Stanley Morgan Jr. missed their second straight practice this week on Thursday. With A.J. Green (ankle) likely to miss another game, Cincy's receiving corps is in dire straights. Expect Tyler Boyd and Alex Erickson to be the top two receivers, but they won't have much fantasy appeal […]

A.J. Green Not Practicing

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green (ankle) is not at practice again on Thursday. Green was close to returning to action a few weeks ago, but a setback has now made it questionable as to whether he'll even play at all in 2019. As of right now it looks like that won't happen, so most […]

Devonta Freeman Missing Practice Thursday

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (foot) wasn't seen at practice on Thursday for the second straight day. Freeman is expected to miss at least another game, so he should be planted firmly on benches for Week 12 against the Buccaneers. Tampa has surprisingly been one of the best against the run in 2019, so […]

Julio Jones Back At Practice Thursday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (foot) is back at practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Jones was just being rested as a precaution on Wednesday. He'll be just fine to face the Buccaneers in Week 12. The veteran hasn't scored since Sept. 22, but he should be peppered with targets with tight […]

Nelson Agholor Out Again Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor (knee) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Agholor is on the wrong side of questionable unless he returns to practice on Friday. The 26-year-old hasn't really been a fantasy option unless Alshon Jeffery is hurt, and even then he has mostly underwhelmed. He had four catches […]

Adrian Peterson Not Spotted Thursday

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson (toe) was not spotted at practice on Thursday. If he's officially out of practice, it'll be his second straight missed day ahead of Week 12 against the Lions. Peterson is in danger of missing the game this weekend as he fights through turf toe. Making matters worse for his […]

Mitch Trubisky Still Day-To-Day

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy said that quarterback Mitch Trubisky (hip) had a good practice on Wednesday, but he's still "day-to-day." Nagy called Trubisky's practice on Wednesday "a step in the right direction." Unless Trubisky has a setback in practice, he should be in line to start under center in Week 12 against the […]

Optimism Surrounding Phillip Dorsett

Although New England Patriots wide receiver Phillip Dorsett (concussion) missed practice on Wednesday, there is mid-week optimism that he could be cleared in time to play in Week 12 against the Cowboys, according to a source. Mohamed Sanu (ankle) could now miss multiple games with a high ankle sprain, so the Patriots could be in […]

Dede Westbrook Not Expected To Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook (illness) is not expected to practice on Thursday. Westbrook returned to the field last week and caught four of his six targets for just 32 yards in the loss to the Colts. D.J. Chark got all the love from a returning quarterback Nick Foles. Westbrook was Foles' favorite target […]

Rhett Ellison Unlikely To Play In Week 12

New York Giants tight end Rhett Ellison (concussion) is unlikely to play in Week 12 against the Bears, according to head coach Pat Shurmur. Starting tight end Evan Engram (foot) has yet to practice this week and is headed down the same path, so you won't be able to use either tight end in fantasy […]

Evan Engram Unlikely To Play Sunday

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (foot) is out of practice again on Thursday, and it's safe to assume that he'll be inactive for Week 12 against the Bears. Keep Engram glued to your bench for another week. With Rhett Ellison (concussion) also not expected to play this weekend, it looks like Scott Simonson […]

Robert Woods Still Away From Team

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods, who was a surprise scratch last Sunday night due to personal reasons, remains away from the team as they prepare for Monday night's game against the Ravens, according to sources. At this point it's a reality that Woods might miss his second straight game with personal issues. He's […]

Yankees Release Jacoby Ellsbury, DFA Greg Bird

The New York Yankees released outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury and designated Greg Bird for assignment on Wednesday. Ellsbury, who hasn't played since 2017 due to various injuries, was let go with more than $26 million left on his $153 million, seven-year deal. The 36-year-old hit .264 with 39 homers, 198 RBI and 102 stolen bases in […]

Matthew Stafford Hopes To Play Again This Year

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (back) missed another practice on Wednesday, but he wants to play again this season when he's cleared by doctors. However, Detroit is currently 3-6-1 and has very little chance of making the playoffs, so it's not like the Lions will rush their starting quarterback back. Stafford is expected to miss […]

Phillip Lindsay Gets In Limited Practice

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay (foot, wrist) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Barring a setback in practice later this week, Lindsay will be good to go for Week 12 against the Bills. The second-year back has mostly been a disappointment in 2019 while sharing backfield work with Royce Freeman in an offense that […]

Davante Adams Limited On Wednesday

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (toe) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Adams will be fine to play on Sunday night against the 49ers. The 26-year-old has seen a healthy 21 targets in his two games since returning from turf toe, and he went for 118 yards before the Week 11 bye against […]

Tyreek Hill's Injury Is Minor

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill's (hamstring) injury was deemed minor after he underwent an MRI exam, according to a source. Hill is being considered day-to-day, and there's a real chance he won't miss any time with the team's bye in Week 12. He tried to go back into the Monday night game against […]
