Jordan Reed Trending Toward Game-Time Decision

Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed (concussion) is officially questionable for Sunday against the Eagles.

Nick Foles' Protection May Be Shoddy In Week 1

Jacksonville Jaguars left tackle Cam Robinson (knee) didn't practice on Friday, and his backup, Cedric Ogbuehi (hamstring) also hasn't been practicing. It's bad news for quarterback Nick Foles' blind-side protection as he gets set to make his debut for the team in Week 1 against the Chiefs at home. It's good news for KC's pass […]

Lavonte David, Vita Vea Good To Go For Buccaneers Defense

Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Lavonte David (knee) and defensive tackle Vita Vea (knee) are both good to go for Sunday's regular season opener against the 49ers. One of the league's worst overall defenses in 2018, the Bucs will surely benefit from having both David and Vea on the field to start the season against San […]

Panthers Defense Won't Have Bruce Irvin In Week 1

Carolina Panthers linebacker Bruce Irvin (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 1 against the Rams. For a Panthers team that struggled to get to the opponent's quarterback in 2018, this isn't a good sign against a Rams team with a high-flying passing attack. Carolina's D/special teams could be good as a bye-week filler later […]

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien made it sound as though wide receiver Keke Coutee (ankle) will be a game-time decision on Monday night ahead of the Week 1 game against the Saints.

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that rookie wide receiver Marquise Brown (foot) will play on Sunday in Week 1 against the Dolphins despite sitting out of practice on Friday.

Marquise Brown Sits Out Friday

Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Marquise Brown (foot) was the only player sitting out of practice on Friday. Brown was added to the injury report on Thursday but was a full participant in practice, so this downgrade isn't a good sign. The speedy deep threat will be a nice field-stretcher for quarterback Lamar Jackson in […]

Mike Evans Out With Illness Friday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (illness) missed practice on Friday due to an illness. Evans is expected to recover in 24 hours and be fine for Week 1 on Sunday against the 49ers.

The Kansas City Chiefs and wide receiver Tyreek Hill agreed to a three-year, $54 million contract extension on Friday that puts him among the highest paid at the receiver position, according to sources.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (biceps) will be fine to play on Sunday in Week 1 against the Redskins. Jeffery got bumped in practice on Wednesday and was receiving treatment on Thursday during practice.

Updating a previous report, Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones said he plans to play in the Week 1 season opener on Sunday against the Vikings.

Dak Prescott's Extension A Priority For Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys have made it a priority to reach a contract extension with quarterback Dak Prescott now that they have locked up offensive lineman La'el Collins and running back Ezekiel Elliott this week.

Raiders Not Planning To Have Antonio Brown For Week 1

The Oakland Raiders are not planning to have wide receiver Antonio Brown for Week 1 against the Broncos on Monday night, according to sources.

Marqise Lee Looking Good In Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said that wide receiver Marqise Lee (knee) has performed well in practices in the last week.

49ers Defense May Be Without Jimmie Ward

San Francisco 49ers safety Jimmie Ward (finger) suffered a fractured finger in practice on Wednesday, and his status for Week 1 against the Buccaneers is now in question.

D.K. Metcalf Says He's 100 Percent

Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver D.K. Metcalf (knee) said he's 100 percent and is ready for all the repetitions that the team wants to give him on Sunday in Week 1 against the Bengals. Metcalf recovered quickly from his knee scope and should be able to suit up in his first NFL game. Even with […]

Alshon Jeffery On Week 1 Injury Report

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (biceps) was a limited participant in practice on Thursday. It doesn't sound like Jeffery's injury is very serious and he should play in Week 1 on Sunday against the Redskins, but it's something worth watching. In a potent offense as the team's top wideout, Jeffery should have a fine […]

Todd Gurley Won't Be On Snap Count Sunday

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that running back Todd Gurley will not be on a snap count in the season opener on Sunday against the Panthers. Gurley's knee issues were the talk of the offseason, and his fantasy value fell accordingly with talk of the Rams devising a plan this year to […]

Keke Coutee Limited Thursday

Houston Texans wide receiver Keke Coutee (ankle) was limited in practice on Thursday.

Marquise Brown Added To Injury Report

Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Marquise Brown (foot) was added to the injury report on Thursday but was a full participant in practice. Brown will make his NFL debut in Week 1 against the Dolphins, but he's merely an afterthought for redraft lineups while recovering from a Lisfranc injury. The speedster and deep threat will […]

Julio Jones Unsure If He'll Play Sunday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones said he's trying to be out there for Week 1 against the Vikings, but "he doesn't know" if he'll play if he doesn't have a new contract.

San Francisco 49ers rookie defensive end Nick Bosa (ankle) will play in the team's season opener against the Buccaneers on Sunday, according to defensive coordinator Robert Saleh.

Cam Newton's Mobility Is Fine

Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said that quarterback Cam Newton's (foot) mobility has been good in practice and he feels like the signal-caller will be able to do the things he normally does in Week 1 on Sunday against the Rams.

Derrius Guice To Start, Adrian Peterson Could Be Healthy Scratch

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden plans to start running back Derrius Guice in Week 1 on Sunday against the Eagles, but he hasn't decided whether the team will dress two more or three more running backs.
