Jorge Polanco Undergoes Surgery

Minnesota Twins shortstop Jorge Polanco (ankle) had surgery for an ankle impingement last Friday. It was a chronic injury due to repetitive stress, but he should be able to resume baseball activities in six weeks and be ready for spring training next year. The 26-year-old switch-hitter was an All-Star for the first time in his […]

The 24-year-old has made 66 of his 76 field-goal attempts in his three-year career with the Eagles. Philly's offense […]

Chase Edmonds Limited In Wednesday's Practice

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Edmonds is on track to return for the first time since Oct. 27 against the Saints. However, Kenyan Drake remains the team's lead back with David Johnson battling injuries. Edmonds could be the No. 2 in the backfield this weekend against […]

Marlins In On Avisail Garcia

The Miami Marlins are one of many teams interested in outfielder Avisail Garcia. The free-agent outfield market is thin this year, so Garcia is in a good spot to cash in this winter. Garcia hit a solid .282/.332/.464 with 20 home runs, 61 runs scored, 72 RBI and 10 stolen bases in 125 games in […]

Rangers Reach Deal With Kyle Gibson

The Texas Rangers agreed to a three-year, $30 million deal with starting pitcher Kyle Gibson on Wednesday, according to a source.

Jadeveon Clowney Expected To Play Monday

Seattle Seahawks defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (hip) isn't practicing on Wednesday, according to head coach Pete Carroll, but the team is "counting on" their best pass-rusher to make it back for Monday night's showdown with the Vikings.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis (knee) suffered a left knee injury early in Wednesday's practice, casting doubt over his status for Week 13 against the Ravens.

Parris Campbell Remains Limited Wednesday

Indianapolis Colts rookie wide receiver Parris Campbell (hand) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Campbell has been out since Nov. 3, but he could be a game-time decision in Week 13 against the Titans. Even if he returns, however, he could be fourth on the receiver depth chart behind T.Y. Hilton, Zach Pascal and Chester […]

Mike Williams Limited Wednesday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (knee) was limited in practice on Wednesday coming out of the team's Week 12 bye. The 25-year-old caught two of six targets for 76 yards in the Week 11 loss to the Chiefs. He should be fine to play this weekend against Denver. The former first-rounder is still […]

Zach Ertz Misses Practice Wednesday

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. His status is now worth watching as the week unfolds. Ertz had a season-high 12 receptions for 91 yards and his third touchdown of the season in the Week 12 loss to the Seahawks. With both Alshon Jeffery and Nelson Agholor banged up […]

Gerald Everett Misses Practice Wednesday

Los Angeles Rams tight end Gerald Everett (knee) did not participate in practice on Wednesday. Everett has had a mini-breakout season in 2019 but has underwhelmed in his last two games, catching just three passes on three targets for 43 yards. He's also only found the end zone twice. The Rams offense has struggled mightily […]

Phillip Dorsett Clears Concussion Protocol

New England Patriots wide receiver Phillip Dorsett (concussion) said he has cleared the league's concussion protocol.

New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore (hamstring) was limited in practice all week and is questionable for Thursday's game against the Falcons.

Lattimore has been out since the last meeting with Atlanta on Nov. 10, but it looks like he's making progress […]

Marlon Mack Still Not Practicing

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (hand) remains out of practice on Wednesday. Mack is recovering from a fractured hand, but it's likely that he misses at least one more week. Plan to be without him again this weekend against the Titans. Jonathan Williams was the clear lead back on early downs in last week's […]

Derrick Henry Limited In Practice Wednesday

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Henry exploded for 159 yards and two touchdowns in the big win over the Jaguars in Week 12.

Texans Defense Expects To Have Bradley Roby Against Patriots

The Houston Texans expect to have cornerback Bradley Roby (hamstring) back for Sunday night against the Patriots. Roby has been out since suffering a hamstring injury in Week 6 against the Chiefs. Houston's secondary has been pretty bad all season long, but Roby's return will be a significant boost with New England coming to town. […]

Josh Norman Won't Start Against Panthers

Washington Redskins interim head coach Bill Callahan said that cornerback Josh Norman will not start in Week 13 against the Panthers, but he will play in the game. Norman, 31, is starting to show his age in 2019 for a bad Redskins Defense. He has 40 total tackles, one sack, one forced fumble and one […]

Leighton Vander Esch Ruled Out Against Bills

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Leighton Vander Esch (neck) didn't practice all week and has been ruled out for Thursday against the Bills. Defensive tackle Antwaun Woods (knee) was also ruled out for Dallas. LVE hasn't played since Nov. 17 against the Lions. He's a menacing presence in the middle of the field when healthy, so his […]

George Kittle Held Out Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. Kittle returned to the fold on Sunday night and went off for six catches, a season-high 129 yards and his third score of the season in the blowout over the Packers. It was his second straight game with a touchdown. The Niners […]

San Francisco 49ers wide receivers Emmanuel Sanders (ribs) and Deebo Samuel (shoulder) and running back Matt Breida (ankle) were all limited in practice on Wednesday. Kicker Robbie Gould (quadriceps) was also cleared to practice. At less than 100 percent the last two weeks, Sanders has just four catches for 48 yards. He hasn't done much […]

James Conner Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday. Conner has been out since the last meeting with Cleveland on Nov. 14, and so far this week he doesn't look like a candidate to face the Browns the second time around this Sunday. Unless he returns to practice later this week, you'll […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Clears Protocol, Misses Practice Wednesday

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion, knee) has been cleared from the league's concussion protocol by an independent neurologist, but he remains on the injury report with a knee injury and didn't practice on Wednesday.

Adam Thielen Has Scare With Hamstring Injury

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring) had a slight scare with his injury during practice on Monday and was held out on Wednesday as a result. Thielen had the Week 12 bye to heal up, but it looks like he still might be in danger of sitting out in Week 13 against the Seahawks. […]

Paul Richardson Not Practicing Wednesday

Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson (hamstring) is not practicing on Wednesday. Richardson has only 28 receptions for 245 yards and two touchdowns on the season and has hauled in eight passes in the last three games. Even if he's active, you shouldn't be trusting him in your starting lineups, even in deeper setups. Outside […]

Jeff Driskel, T.J. Hockenson Questionable Against Bears

Detroit Lions quarterback Jeff Driskel (hamstring) and rookie tight end T.J. Hockenson (shoulder) are both questionable for Thursday's matchup with the Bears. Driskel was limited in practice all week, while Hockenson got in a full practice on Wednesday. Barring any late setbacks, we'd expect both players to suit up on Thanksgiving. In a tough matchup […]

Matthew Stafford Won't Play On Turkey Day

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (back, hip) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 13 against the Bears on Thursday. It will be his fourth straight missed game, but Stafford does want to return to play in 2019 when he's cleared by doctors. With the fantasy playoffs starting next week in […]

Taylor Gabriel, Adam Shaheen, Ben Braunecker Ruled Out

Chicago Bears wide receiver Taylor Gabriel (concussion) and tight ends Adam Shaheen (foot) and Ben Braunecker (concussion) missed practice all week and have been ruled out for Thursday against the Lions. With Gabriel sidelined, Allen Robinson, Anthony Miller and Javon Wims should see most of the work in three-receiver sets. Although the matchup is a […]

T.Y. Hilton Will Be Limited Wednesday

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (calf), who fought some tightness in his calf last Thursday against the Texans, will be limited in practice on Wednesday. It will be Hilton's first real practice in roughly a month. Hilton disappointed owners last week in his return, going for three catches and just 18 yards in the […]

Austin Hooper To Miss Third Straight Game

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper (knee) will miss his third straight game in Week 13 against the Saints on Thursday night.

Devonta Freeman To Return Against Saints

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (foot) is set to return on Thursday against the Saints after missing the last two games with a foot injury, according to head coach Dan Quinn.
