JuJu Smith-Schuster Not Expected To Play In Week 12

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster's (knee) injury isn't believed to be a long-term issue, but he's not expected to play in Week 12 against the Bengals, according to a source. On top of the knee issue, Smith-Schuster is also in the concussion protocol. Plan to be without him this weekend. And with Diontae Johnson […]

Sterling Shepard Expected To Be Cleared Later This Week

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (concussion) is still in the concussion protocol, but head coach Pat Shurmur said the team expects Shepard to be cleared by the end of the week. Despite not being cleared yet, Shepard has practiced in full the last two days. It's a sign that he will return to […]

T.Y. Hilton, Eric Ebron Questionable For Thursday

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (calf) and tight end Eric Ebron (ankle) are both listed as questionable for Thursday night's game against the Texans. Tight end Mo Alie-Cox (thumb) is also questionable. All three players were full participants in Wednesday's walkthrough and are expected to play. Hilton would be active for the first time […]

George Kittle, Matt Breida, Robbie Gould Miss Practice

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (ankle, knee), running back Matt Breida (ankle) and kicker Robbie Gould (quadriceps) are all out of practice on Wednesday. Kittle is in danger of missing his third straight game. With the team playing the Packers on Sunday night, Kittle will be a very risky tight end option. You'll […]

Diontae Johnson Able To Practice Wednesday

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (concussion) remains in the league's protocol, but he was able to practice on Wednesday. Johnson must pass through the protocol later this week in order to have a shot at playing in Week 12 against the Bengals, but he's off to a good start. If he's cleared, Johnson would […]

Emmanuel Sanders, Deebo Samuel Missing From Practice

San Francisco 49ers wide receivers Emmanuel Sanders (ribs) and Deebo Samuel (shoulder) were both missing from practice on Wednesday. With tight end George Kittle (ankle, knee) also in danger of missing his third straight game, quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo could be missing his best aerial targets on Sunday night against the Packers. If both Sanders and […]

A.J. Green, Auden Tate Sit Out Wednesday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receivers A.J. Green (ankle) and Auden Tate (concussion) both missed practice on Wednesday. Green has yet to play this year, and at this point it would be a surprise if he plays at all in 2019. The veteran wideout has been dropped in a lot of leagues. Tate suffered a serious head […]

Evan Engram, Rhett Ellison Not Practicing

New York Giants tight ends Evan Engram (foot) and Rhett Ellison (concussion) are not practicing on Wednesday. It seems unlikely at this point that Engram will be ready to play on Sunday against the Bears. You should be making plans to be without Engram again in Week 12. If Ellison is also out, Scott Simonson […]

Amari Cooper Practices In Full

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper (knee) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. Cooper continues to battle through injuries this year, but he's fully expected to play in Week 12's showdown with the Patriots on the road. He'll likely be shadowed by shutdown cornerback Stephon Gilmore in this one, but Cooper is a […]

Adrian Peterson Could Miss Week 12

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson (toe) did not practice on Wednesday and is in danger of missing Week 12 against the Lions. He was limping pretty good on Monday. Peterson got the start in Week 11, but Derrius Guice was the more effective back in his first game action since the season opener. Peterson […]

Tim Patrick Misses Practice Wednesday

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick (shoulder) missed practice on Wednesday. Patrick had four catches on a healthy eight targets for 77 yards in his season debut in Week 11 against the Vikings. Assuming he can play in Week 12 against the Bills, Patrick should once again be the No. 2 behind Courtland Sutton. However, […]

Austin Hooper Won't Play In Week 12

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper (knee) won't play in Week 12 against the Buccaneers, but he could try to run a little in practice on Thursday. There's a chance that Hooper could be ready to return in Week 13 against the Saints. Keep Hooper stashed on your benches, especially if you're looking good to […]

Corey Davis, Delanie Walker Back At Practice

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis (hip) and tight end Delanie Walker (ankle) were both back at practice on Wednesday coming out of the bye week. It's a good sign for both, but neither player is guaranteed to return in Week 12 against the Jaguars. In Tennessee's run-first offense, it's also hard to trust any […]

Mitch Trubisky Practicing In Full Wednesday

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky (hip) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. Trubisky said he's feeling good after suffering an injury in the Sunday night loss to the Rams. The signal-caller has taken a big step back in 2019, though, and he has very little upside in fantasy, even as a QB2. If […]

Tyler Lockett Expected To Play Sunday

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (leg) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Coming out of the bye week, head coach Pete Carroll expects Lockett to play in Week 12 against the Eagles. He was a bust in Week 10 after going off for 152 yards and two touchdowns in Week 9, but Lockett always […]

Julio Jones Held Out On Wednesday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (foot) was held out of practice on Wednesday. The Falcons are likely just giving the veteran some rest late in the season. Jones has battled nagging injuries to his lower body the last several seasons but usually plays through them and remains productive. The 30-year-old hasn't scored a touchdown […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Limited In Practice

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick (forearm, shoulder) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Fitzpatrick should be fine, but his injury is worth watching as we approach Week 12's games. Fitz has proven to be the better option under center than Josh Rosen for the rebuilding Dolphins, but he continues to have limited upside as a […]

Nelson Agholor Not Practicing Wednesday

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor (knee) is not practicing on Wednesday. Agholor saw more involvement in Week 11 against the Patriots with Alshon Jeffery (ankle) inactive, but Jeffery is back at practice this week and has a better chance of returning to action on Sunday. Even if Jeffery were to miss another game this […]

Phillip Dorsett At Practice Wednesday

New England Patriots wide receiver Phillip Dorsett (head) is at practice on Wednesday after suffering a head injury in the Week 11 win over the Eagles. It's good news for his chances of playing in Week 12 against the Cowboys, and it may have more significant if Mohamed Sanu (ankle) is unable to play this […]

Mohamed Sanu Missing On Wednesday

New England Patriots wide receiver Mohamed Sanu (ankle) is missing from practice on Wednesday. His ankle injury might explain why he was extra quiet in the Week 11 win over the Eagles after being targeted heavily before the team's Week 10 bye. The matchup in Week 12 against Dallas isn't any easy one either, so […]

Jameis Winston Is Fine

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that quarterback Jameis Winston (ankle) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday after tweaking his ankle in the Week 11 loss to the Saints. Winston has put up numbers this year with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin as his top two targets, but he remains turnover-prone […]

Parris Campbell Ruled Out

Indianapolis Colts rookie wide receiver Parris Campbell (hand) was limited in practice all week but has been ruled out for Thursday night against the Texans. Campbell is making progress, but he's targeting a return in December. With T.Y. Hilton (calf) on the verge of a return and with Zach Pascal, Marcus Johnson and Chester Rogers […]

Robinson Chirinos Has Active Market

In addition to the Mets, the Astros, Reds and Rangers are among the teams showing interest in catcher Robinson Chirinos, according to sources. The 35-year-old (36 in June of 2020) has hit 52 home runs in 315 games since the start of the 2017 season, so he has some ability with the bat and is […]

Chris Thompson, Paul Richardson, Vernon Davis Practicing

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (toe), wide receiver Paul Richardson (hamstring) and tight end Vernon Davis (concussion) were all on the practice field on Wednesday. With Adrian Peterson (toe) in question for Week 12 against the Lions, Thompson could jump back into his third-down role to spell Derrius Guice. It's a good matchup, but […]

Gerardo Parra Heading To Japan

Former Washington Nationals outfielder Gerardo Parra has agreed to a contract with the Central League champion Yomiuri Giants in Japan. The 32-year-old, a two-time Gold Glove winner, hit .276 with 88 home runs and 522 RBI in 11 major league seasons. He served as a backup outfielder for the World Series champion Nationals last year. […]

Mets Interested In Robinson Chirinos

The New York Mets have shown interest in catcher Robinson Chirinos, according to an industry source. Chirinos will turn 36 next June and hit .238/.347/.443 while starting 106 games behind the plate for the Astros and playing strong defense in 2019. If the Mets keep Wilson Ramos, Chirinos could easily secure a better opportunity elsewhere […]

Alshon Jeffery, Jordan Howard Doing Individual Drills

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (ankle) and running back Jordan Howard (shoulder) are doing individual work in practice on Wednesday and are limited. Jeffery didn't practice at all last week before he was inactive in Week 11, so it's progress for him. Still, both players should still be considered questionable to face the Seahawks […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Still In Concussion Protocol

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion, knee) remains in the league's concussion protocol on Wednesday and is also wearing a significant brace on his left knee. Smith-Schuster isn't off to a good start to the week, and he won't be a guarantee to play in Week 12 against the Bengals even if he's cleared […]

Patriots Activate Isaiah Wynn From IR

The New England Patriots officially activated left tackle Isaiah Wynn (toe) from the Injured Reserve on Tuesday, according to a source. Wide receiver Gunner Olszewski (ankle, hamstring) was placed on Injured Reserve in a corresponding move. Wynn is set to return for Week 12 against the Cowboys, which will be a big boost for New […]

Leonard Fournette Didn't See Enough Carries In Week 11

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone thinks the team relied on the pass too much in quarterback Nick Foles' return in Week 11 against the Colts. Jacksonville set a franchise record for the fewest rushing attempts in a game with nine -- six of them coming during the first half. Running back Leonard Fournette had […]
