Mark Andrews Returns To Practice Thursday

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (shoulder) returned to practice on Thursday after missing practice on Wednesday. It's a new injury -- Andrews had been playing through a foot injury prior -- but Andrews looks to be on track to suit up in Week 6 in a fine matchup with the Bengals. He could see […]

Rashard Higgins Back To Full Practice

Cleveland Browns head coach Freddie Kitchens said that wide receiver Rashard Higgins (knee) took part in a full practice on Thursday. Higgins has been out since the season opener, but it looks like he has a chance to return in Week 6 against the Seahawks. The problem is that Antonio Callaway has returned from his […]

Vernon Davis Practicing Thursday

Washington Redskins tight end Vernon Davis (concussion) is practicing again on Thursday as he tries to get cleared from the league's concussion protocol. Davis is moving in the right direction but will still likely be questionable to play in Week 6 against the Dolphins. The veteran has caught only 10 passes for 123 yards and […]

T.J. Hockenson Practices In Full

Detroit Lions rookie tight end T.J. Hockenson (concussion) practiced in full on Thursday in the part of practice open to the media. Hockenson is trending toward clearing the concussion protocol and playing in Week 6 on Monday night against the Packers after having last week's bye to rest up. However, Hockenson will be a risky […]

Bucs OC Says O.J. Howard's Time Is Coming

Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich said that tight end O.J. Howard's time is coming in the offense, but he wants it to happen naturally for the tight end. Through five weeks, Howard has a measly 11 catches on only 14 targets for 141 scoreless yards. Many fantasy owners assumed that Howard would break […]

Yandy Diaz Absent In Game 5

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Yandy Diaz (foot) is not in the starting lineup for Game 5 of the American League Division Series against the Astros on Thursday. Diaz exited in Game 3 and also sat out of Game 4 on Tuesday. Joey Wendle will man the hot corner and hit seventh against Rays starter […]

The Seattle Mariners are shutting down outfield prospect Jarred Kelenic (back) in the Arizona Fall League due to a sore back.

The 20-year-old […]

Phillies Dismiss Gabe Kapler As Manager

The Philadelphia Phillies dismissed manager Gabe Kapler from his post on Thursday. In his two years as the skipper of the Phils, Kapler led the team to a mediocre 161-163 record.

Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan thinks that cornerback Jalen Ramsey (back) will return to action in Week 6 against the Saints after missing the last two games.

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.

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.

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."

Houston Texans wide receiver Kenny Stills (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Wednesday.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 […]
