Alex Verdugo Unlikely To Play In Postseason

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Alex Verdugo (oblique) is unlikely to return at any point in the postseason, according to manager Dave Roberts. Verdugo hasn't played an MLB game since Aug. 4, so even if he were to be close to ready if the Dodgers advance to the World Series, he may not be an option […]

Clayton Kershaw To Start On Friday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw will make the start in Game 2 of the National League Division Series against the Nationals on Friday. Kershaw went 16-5 with a 3.03 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 189 strikeouts in 178 1/3 innings over 28 starts and one relief appearance in the regular season. He was better […]

Luis Arraez Could Make ALDS Roster

Minnesota Twins infielder Luis Arraez (ankle) has healed enough to put himself in the conversation to make the roster for the American League Division Series against the Yankees, which starts on Friday. The 22-year-old has done nothing but hit in his first taste of the majors this year, slashing .334/.399/.439 with four home runs and […]

Jose Berrios To Start Game 1 Of ALDS

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Jose Berrios will start Game 1 of the American League Division Series against the Yankees on Friday. Berrios was the team's best pitcher this year, so it's a no-brainer decision. He went 14-8 with a 3.68 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 195 K's in 200 1/3 innings over 32 starts. Berrios also […]

Taylor Gabriel Ruled Out For London Game

Chicago Bears wide receiver Taylor Gabriel (concussion) isn't traveling with the team to London and has been ruled out for Week 5 against the Raiders. Gabriel had three touchdowns on Monday night in Week 3 but hasn't practiced or played since suffering a concussion. He'll have extra time to rest up with the team on […]

Case Keenum Back At Practice, Vernon Davis Still Out

Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum (foot) was limited in practice on Thursday, while tight end Vernon Davis (concussion) sat out for the second straight day. Keenum was in a walking boot on Wednesday, but the Redskins still aren't ruling him out for Week 5 against the Patriots after he was benched for poor performance in […]

Damien Williams Practicing In Full

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams (knee) practiced in full for the second straight day on Thursday. Williams should return to action on Sunday night against the Colts after missing the last two games. It further complicates a backfield that was featuring LeSean McCoy and Darrel Williams the last two weeks. It remains to […]

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. Held him yesterday. Don’t have any feeling like he wouldn’t be back with us, but he gutted it out & […]

A.J. Pollock Leading Off In Game 1 Of NLDS

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder A.J. Pollock is starting in left field and is hitting leadoff against Nationals left-hander Patrick Corbin in Game 1 of the National League Division Series on Thursday. David Freese is starting at first base and is batting second. It's the first time that Pollock has hit leadoff since early September, but […]

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. James Paxton will go in Game 1 on Friday, followed by Masahiro Tanaka in Game 2 and Luis Severino in Game 3. Paxton, a left-hander, went 15-6 with a 3.82 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 186 strikeouts in […]

Tyler Glasnow Starting Game 1 Of ALDS

The Tampa Bay Rays have set their starting rotation for the American League Division Series against the Astros. Tyler Glasnow will go in Game 1 on Friday, followed by Blake Snell in Game 2 and Charlie Morton, who won the wild-card game against the A's, in Game 3. The Rays have an uphill battle to […]

Ronald Acuna Leading Off In Game 1 Of NLDS

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 […]
