Bengals Hoping Cordy Glenn Returns Soon

Cincinnati Bengals left tackle Cordy Glenn (concussion) is still being evaluated by independent doctors for his concussion, but head coach Zac Taylor said the team is hopeful that Glenn will play soon. Andy Dalton's blind-side protector is unlikely to return in Week 5 against the Cardinals, but the offensive line needs him back as soon […]

Jimmie Ward Returning For 49ers Defense

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Jimmie Ward (finger) will return from surgery on his broken finger in Week 5 on Monday night against the Browns. Ward can help at any position in the defensive backfield, giving the Niners more depth and versatility. The 28-year-old defensive back has trouble staying healthy and has yet to play this […]

Mitch Trubisky, Taylor Gabriel Miss Practice

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky (shoulder) and wide receiver Taylor Gabriel (concussion) both missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. With the Bears having their bye in Week 6, neither Trubisky nor Gabriel are expected to suit up in Week 5 in London against the Raiders. Gabriel also sat out in Week 4 […]

Parris Campbell Misses Practice Again

Indianapolis Colts rookie wide receiver Parris Campbell (abdomen) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. It's not looking good for the rookie playing in Week 5 against the Chiefs on Sunday night unless he returns to practice on Friday. With the game being Sunday night, it's impossible to trust Campbell with a starting […]

Christian Kirk Could Be Back In Week 6

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk's (ankle) injury isn't season-ending, and while he's not expected to play in Week 5 against the Bengals, he could return to the mix as early as Week 6 against the Falcons, according to head coach Kliff Kingsbury. Both Kirk and Damiere Byrd (hamstring) are expected to miss this Sunday, […]

James Conner, Vance McDonald Miss Practice Again

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (ankle) and tight end Vance McDonald (shoulder) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Conner and McDonald must both practice on Friday to have a chance of suiting up in Week 5 against the Ravens. As of now, Conner is looking like a very shaky low-end RB1. […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Held Out Again Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (toe) was held out of practice again on Thursday. "JuJu got a little banged up early in that ball game last week. We held him a little bit today.

49ers To Re-Sign Jordan Matthews

The San Francisco 49ers are planning to re-sign wide receiver Jordan Matthews, according to league sources. He's expected to take rookie Jalen Hurd's (back) spot on the roster after he was put on Injured Reserve. Matthews didn't make the club's final roster this summer, so he's unlikely to make much of an impact in the […]

Jalen Hurd, Jason Verrett Put On Injured Reserve

The San Francisco 49ers placed rookie wide receiver Jalen Hurd (back) and cornerback Jason Verrett (knee) on the Injured Reserve on Thursday and re-signed cornerback Dontae Johnson to a one-year deal in a corresponding move. Hurd has a chance to return later this year, but nobody should be expecting him to make an impact in […]

David Njoku Expects To Return This Year

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (wrist) said he expects to return this year from his broken wrist. He also said he's been cleared from the concussion protocol. Njoku was upended and landed on his head and wrist in the Week 2 win over the Jets. With the tight end position being so shallow in […]

Emmanuel Sanders Feeling Better

Denver Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (quadriceps) said his quadriceps is feeling better and he'll practice in full on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Sanders is just playing it safe with his quad injury. He will play in Week 5 against the Chargers on the road. Sanders has shown that last year's Achilles injury […]

Josh Allen Still In Concussion Protocol

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol on Thursday. Allen has done non-contact work at practice this week, but he's not quite there yet. That could come on Friday, but he's definitely questionable to play in Week 5 against the Titans. Even if he does play, Allen will be more […]

Mark Andrews Back At Practice Thursday

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (foot) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Andrews continues to fight through his foot injury and is being rested during the week, but he continues to play on game day and has caught a touchdown in three out of the first four games. Despite recent […]

DeSean Jackson Not Practicing Again Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen) is not practicing for the second straight day on Thursday. All signs are pointing toward D-Jax missing his second straight game. Plan to be without him again for Week 5 against the Jets. Alshon Jeffery, Nelson Agholor and Mack Hollins should work in three-receiver sets, with rookie J.J. […]

Marlon Mack Out Again Thursday

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (ankle) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Mack still has a chance at playing in Week 5 against the Chiefs on Sunday night, but he'll need to return to practice on Friday in order to do so. Because of the injury and the fact that the […]

T.Y. Hilton Returns To Practice Field

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (quadriceps) was back on the practice field on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. It gives his fantasy owners hope that he can play on Sunday night against the Chiefs after missing Week 4. Still, Hilton will likely be questionable this week and will be a tough call for […]

Davante Adams, Jamaal Williams Not Practicing

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (toe) and running back Jamaal Williams (concussion) did not practice again on Thursday. Adams did a little jogging off to the side and Williams went through stretching. Both are currently on the wrong side of questionable right now, and it seems like a stretch to think that Williams […]

Saquon Barkley Misses Practice Thursday

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. However, Barkley looked good during individual drills at practice on Wednesday, and the Giants aren't yet ruling him out for Week 5 against the Vikings. He's ultimately doubtful to suit up, but a return as early as Week […]

CC Sabathia Left Off ALDS Roster

New York Yankees starting pitcher CC Sabathia (shoulder) is being left off the roster for the American League Division Series against the Twins. Manager Aaron Boone said that Sabathia's shoulder didn't bounce back well after his last relief appearance. The left-hander had a cortisone injection and threw a simulated game on Tuesday. Sabathia could be […]

James Paxton To Start Game 1 Against Twins

The New York Yankees have set their starting rotation for the American League Division Series against the Twins.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna (groin) is starting in center field and hitting leadoff against Cardinals starter Miles Mikolas in Game 1 of the National League Division Series on Thursday. Acuna missed most of the final week of the regular season with his injury, but he's good to go and will be a popular DFS […]

Kolten Wong Starting In Game 1

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong (hamstring) is starting at the keystone and is hitting seventh against Braves left-handed starter Dallas Keuchel in Game 1 of the National League Division Series on Thursday. Wong missed the final 10 games of the regular season due to his injury, but he's healthy now and ready to […]

Jalen Ramsey Not Expected To Practice Thursday

Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey (back) is not expected to practice on Thursday. Ramsey hasn't practiced with the team since the Thursday night game on Sept. 19 and has publicly requested a trade. He sat out in Week 4 against the Broncos and is looking like a long shot to play in Week 5 against […]

Mike Nugent Replacing Stephen Gostkowski

The Patriots have signed free-agent kicker Mike Nugent to replace Stephen Gostkowski, who was placed on Injured Reserve on Wednesday. Gostkowski is a candidate to return later this year, but Nugent will handle the kicking duties for New England in the meantime. The second-round pick back in 2005 played in three games for the Raiders […]

Chris Godwin Back At Practice, Breshad Perriman Still Out

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (hip) returned to practice on Thursday, but wide receiver Breshad Perriman (hamstring) remains out. Godwin will be good to go for Week 5 in a solid matchup against the Saints at the Superdome. He was questionable leading into Week 4 but nearly put up 200 yards receiving and […]

Michael Gallup Hasn't Run At Full Speed

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup (knee) said the true test of whether he can play in Week 5 against the Packers will come at practice on Thursday. Gallup said he hasn't run at full speed yet but can cut. “It’s all really right here,” Gallup said, tapping his head. “The doc says my knee […]

Raiders Hopeful Tyrell Williams Can Play

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Tyrell Williams (foot) hasn't been able to practice this week, but offensive coordinator Greg Olson is hopeful that Williams will respond well to rest and be able to play in Week 5 in London against the Bears. Fantasy owners will be much more amenable to starting Williams if he gets in […]

Melvin Gordon May Start Against Broncos

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon will "definitely" be a part of the team's game plan in Week 5 against the Broncos, and he could be the starter over Austin Ekeler, according to head coach Anthony Lynn. The Chargers "don't want to overdo it" with Gordon, but Lynn said he will surely have a […]
