Danny Amendola Gets In Limited Practice

Detroit Lions wide receiver Danny Amendola (chest) returned to a limited practice on Thursday coming off the bye week. Amendola hasn't played since Sept. 22 but could be on the right track to suit up on Monday night against the Packers. A lot could depend on whether rookie tight end T.J. Hockenson (concussion) returns as […]

Bengals Adamant They Won't Trade A.J. Green

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said the team isn't going to trade wide receiver A.J. Green (ankle). Green is due for a contract extension, so the Bengals seem to prefer re-signing the veteran before trading him this year. He has yet to play in 2019 because of an ankle injury, but he was limited […]

Davante Adams Not Optimistic About Playing Monday

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (toe) doesn't sound optimistic about playing on Monday night against the Lions. The team does not want Adams to aggravate his turf toe and jeopardize the rest of the season. "It doesn't feel how I want it to feel at the moment," Adams said. Especially with the game […]

Delanie Walker Back At Practice Thursday

Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker (knee) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Walker went through the same routine last week and played in Week 5. He should be fine to suit up against the Broncos on the road in Week 6, but he's been an extreme disappointment the last several […]

Gardner Minshew Added To Injury Report

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie quarterback Gardner Minshew (groin) was added to the Week 6 injury report on Thursday with "minor groin soreness." It's something to keep an eye on, but as of now Minshew should be able to suit up and play against the Saints at home this Sunday. New Orleans allows the third most fantasy […]

Breshad Perriman Out Again In Week 6

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Breshad Perriman (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 6 against the Panthers and won't make the trip with the squad to London. It'll be Perriman's second straight missed game. Some projected him as a sleeper in the preseason in this new offense, but he has just three catches on […]

David Johnson Absent Again Thursday

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (back) wasn't seen at the open part of practice on Thursday for the second straight day. Johnson battled through some back issues in the Week 5 win, but he's being evaluated this week and is in real danger at this point of missing Week 6's excellent matchup with the […]

Rex Burkhead Not Expected To Play Thursday

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (foot) is not expected to play on Thursday night against the Giants, according to a source. It would be Burkhead's second straight missed game.

Todd Gurley Up In The Air For Week 6

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley's (quadriceps) status is up in the air for Week 6 against the 49ers after he missed practice on Wednesday. The Rams were hinting on Wednesday that Malcolm Brown and rookie Darrell Henderson could be more involved this weekend, and it might be because Gurley will either miss the […]

A.J. Green To Be Limited Thursday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green (ankle) is expected to be limited in practice on Thursday for the first time since July 27. Finally some progress from Green, although he's still highly unlikely to make his season debut in Week 6 against the Ravens this Sunday. Green needs to be stashed in all leagues, as […]

Davante Adams Missing Practice Thursday

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (toe) is not practicing on Thursday. It's not a good start to the practice week for Adams, who missed Week 5 with a mild case of turf toe. He'll be an extremely risky fantasy option again in Week 6 with the Packers facing the Lions on Monday night. […]

No Practice For Sammy Watkins Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday. Watkins was injured early in last Sunday night's loss to the Colts and never returned, and now he's in serious danger of missing Week 6 against the Texans. The good news for the Chiefs and quarterback Patrick Mahomes […]

Chris Herndon IV Out This Week

New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon IV (hamstring), who suffered a Grade 1 hamstring strain while running routes last Friday, is out this week and likely next week, according to a source. Herndon's injury isn't believed to be major, so his absence isn't expected to be long. The Jets tight end was hoping to […]

Christian McCaffrey Expected To Play Sunday

Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said that running back Christian McCaffrey (back) is fully expected to practice on Friday and play on Sunday in London against the Buccaneers. Rivera also said a Wednesday off day to rest will be the new normal for the stud running back. McCaffrey should be in all fantasy lineups […]

DeSean Jackson Expected To Miss Week 6

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen) is expected to miss Week 6 against the Vikings, but he's hoping to play next week against the Cowboys, according to league sources. Jackson's current return window is believed to be between Week 7 and Week 9 against the Bears. Even when he does return, there's an expectation […]

Mason Rudolph Still Working Through Concussion Protocol

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph (concussion) continues to work through the league's concussion protocol, and offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner said he's not sure who will start at quarterback on Sunday night against the Chargers. It's highly unlikely that Rudolph will get the go-ahead after a devastating head injury in Week 5, but the Steelers aren't […]

Marquise Brown Out Of Practice Again

Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Marquise Brown (ankle) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Brown's injury isn't believed to be serious, but he sat out for a large chunk of last week's game and hasn't practiced yet this week. You need to be making backup plans in case Brown misses practice again […]

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 […]

Thielen should be […]

Jarred Kelenic Shut Down In AFL

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. The Phillies went 81-81 this year and disappointed by not making the postseason after splurging for superstar outfielder Bryce Harper last offseason. There will […]

Jaguars Defense Could Have Jalen Ramsey Back

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. Khan confirmed that he met with Ramsey this week and had a heart-to-heart with the star defender. Ramsey has a trade request on the table and saw a […]

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. He's expected to be recovered in four to six weeks, so he'll be ready in plenty of time for spring training in 2020. Bart was injured while playing in […]
