Julio Jones Sits Out Wednesday's Practice

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (foot) did not practice on Wednesday, but head coach Dan Quinn didn't indicate any concern about Jones' status entering Week 14 against the Packers. The team's No. 1 wideout had a season-low two catches for only 18 yards against the tough Ravens defense in Week 13. He left the […]

Sam Darnold Returns To Full Practice

New York Jets rookie quarterback Sam Darnold (foot) returned to a full practice on Wednesday. Darnold has been out since Nov. 4 but appears to be on track to return to face the Bills in Week 14, barring any setbacks later this week in practice. The rookie has been mostly down in his first NFL […]

Isaiah Crowell Misses Practice Wednesday

New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell (toe) missed practice with a toe injury on Wednesday. It's unknown if this injury will keep Crowell out for Week 14 against the Bills, so we'll have to see if he returns to practice later this week. He's had a few big games this season but is mainly […]

Jaylen Samuels Says He'll Start Against Raiders

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie running back Jaylen Samuels said he will start in Week 14 against the Raiders, but that he and Stevan Ridley will split time in the backfield without James Conner (ankle). Head coach Mike Tomlin said on Tuesday that the team will use a committee approach with Conner out, and this confirms that. […]

Royals Agree With Chris Owings

The Kansas City Royals agreed on a one-year deal with free-agent infielder/outfielder Chris Owings on Wednesday, according to sources. Owings had a miserable year in 2018, hitting .206/.272/.302 with four home runs, 22 RBI and 11 steals in 106 games. But he managed 12 homers in 2017 in just 97 games and stole a season-high […]

Joe Mixon Lands On Injury Report

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (foot) is on the Week 14 injury report and was limited in practice on Wednesday. It's an injury that shouldn't keep him out against the Chargers, but it's worth watching. Mixon remains the team's clear lead back, but his carries have been down in recent weeks with the team […]

Braves Planning To Hit Josh Donaldson Second In Order

The Atlanta Braves are currently planning to hit third baseman Josh Donaldson in the second spot in the batting order in 2019, with first baseman Freddie Freeman hitting third and outfielder Ronald Acuna either leadoff or cleanup. Second baseman Ozzie Albies and center fielder Ender Inciarte are options for the leadoff spot as well. Donaldson […]

Martavis Bryant's Season Officially Over

Oakland Raiders head coach Jon Gruden said the team placed wide receiver Martavis Bryant (knee) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday, ending his season. Bryant was a big disappointment and never had any fantasy value, catching only 19 passes on 27 targets for 266 yards and no touchdowns in eight games this year. Jordy Nelson, Seth […]

Doug Martin's Status For Week 14 Is Uncertain

Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin (knee) is dealing with an injured knee, and head coach Jon Gruden says Martin's status for Week 14 against the Steeler is uncertain. It makes more sense as to why the team signed C.J. Anderson this week. Martin has scored on the ground in back-to-back games, but he'll just […]

Emmanuel Sanders Suffers Torn Achilles

The Denver Broncos believe that wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (Achilles) suffered a torn Achilles in practice on Wednesday, according to a source. The Broncos will conduct tests on Sanders to confirm the injury. It's a huge blow to a team that has won three straight games and is still in the hunt for a wild-card […]

Xavien Howard Week-To-Week

Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase said that Pro Bowl cornerback Xavien Howard (knee) is week-to-week with a knee injury. Howard is the team's top cornerback and has 35 tackles, seven interceptions and 12 passes defensed on the season. Losing him for Week 14 against the Patriots would be a big loss for Miami's secondary. […]

Emmanuel Sanders Injured In Wednesday's Practice

Denver Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (leg) was injured in practice and had to be helped off the field. He wasn't putting any weight on his left leg, so this could be a serious injury. Sanders is in danger of missing a great Week 14 matchup with the 49ers and possibly longer. If that's the […]

Mets Unlikely To Trade Michael Conforto

The New York Mets are unlikely to include outfielder Michael Conforto in any deal for Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto. The Mets seriously covet Realmuto, as do many other teams, but the Fish are believed to want Conforto more than Brandon Nimmo in a package. Conforto hit .243/.350/.448 with a career-high 28 home runs and 82 […]

Sammy Watkins To Return To Practice

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (foot) will return to practice on Wednesday after missing two of the last three games with a foot injury. That means he'll be on track to play in Week 14 in a tough matchup against a Ravens defense that is one of the best in the league. Even […]

Joe Flacco Limited Wednesday, Lamar Jackson Expected To Start

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco (hip) was moving around better at practice on Wednesday but is likely to be listed as limited. Rookie Lamar Jackson, who is 3-0 the last three weeks filling in for Flacco, is expected to make his fourth straight start against the Chiefs in Week 14. If it's not broke, why […]

Bears Expect Mitch Trubisky To Play

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy expects quarterback Mitch Trubisky (shoulder) to play in a Week 14 showdown with the Rams on Sunday night. “I feel strong that he will play, but I’ve got to see more," Nagy said. Trubisky is expected to practice on Wednesday and he should start, barring a setback. The Rams […]

Trey Quinn, Quinton Dunbar Land On IR

The Washington Redskins placed wide receiver Trey Quinn (ankle), cornerback Quinton Dunbar (shin) and offensive guard Jonathan Cooper (biceps) on season-ending Injured Reserve on Wednesday and signed quarterback Josh Johnson, center Demetrius Rhaney, guard Zac Kerin and defensive end Marcus Smith in corresponding moves. The falling Redskins continue to get worse. Quinn's loss hurt's the […]

DeSean Jackson Unlikely To Catch Passes Wednesday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson (thumb) is expected to run but is unlikely to catch passes in Wednesday's practice due to a thumb sprain. D-Jax sat out in Week 13 and is in danger of being shut down for the final four games of the season. Both Chris Godwin and Adam Humphries exploded […]

Duke Johnson Out For Personal Reasons

Cleveland Browns running back Duke Johnson is not practicing on Wednesday for a personal reason. Even with Carlos Hyde being traded to the Jaguars, the Browns have failed to get Johnson involved in the offense. He hasn't had more than three carries since Oct. 7 against the Ravens, and aside from a nine-reception game against […]

Gus Edwards Expects To Play In Week 14

Baltimore Ravens rookie running back Gus Edwards (ankle) said he's keeping up with treatment for his ankle and feels fine and will be ready for Week 14 against the Chiefs. Even though Kenneth Dixon and Ty Montgomery are slight threats to his touches, Edwards is the team's primary back with Alex Collins on Injured Reserve. […]

Landon Collins Going To IR

New York Giants safety Landon Collins (shoulder) will go on Injured Reserve and needs surgery for his shoulder injury, according to a source. His procedure will likely take place next week. Collins is one of the better safeties in the NFL and had 96 tackles, a forced fumble and four passes defensed on the year. […]

Trevor Cahill, A's Have Mutual Interest In Reunion

Free-agent starting pitcher Trevor Cahill said his agent has talked to the Oakland Athletics about re-signing. The team has interest in bringing him back as well as Edwin Jackson and possibly Brett Anderson. The right-hander has durability issues and hasn't made over 20 starts in a season since 2013 with the Diamondbacks, so he's more […]

Mets Considering Trading Brandon Nimmo

The New York Mets are considering using outfielder Brandon Nimmo as a centerpiece in a package to acquire Miami Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto. However, no trade is imminent between the two clubs. Realmuto is a hot trade commodity with other clubs aware that they will not sign him to a long-term extension. The best-hitting catcher […]

Phillies To Consider Dallas Keuchel

With the Philadelphia Phillies losing out on Patrick Corbin and while they still seek a left-handed starter, they will consider free-agent starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel. The American League Cy Young in 2015, Keuchel has fallen off a bit in recent seasons but remains a nice rotation piece to have for his ability to generate ground […]

Mets In Contact With A.J. Pollock

The New York Mets have been in contact with the agent for free-agent outfielder A.J. Pollock, and general manager Brodie Van Wagenen thinks Pollock is a good fit for their team. The Mets are restocking their roster quickly under new leadership and hope to contend immediately in 2019. Pollock would help them achieve that, as […]

Raiders Sign C.J. Anderson

The Oakland Raiders are signing free-agent running back C.J. Anderson on Tuesday, according to a source. It's been a lost year for the former Bronco, as he had just 24 carries for 104 yards in nine games for the Panthers behind workhorse Christian McCaffrey. The Raiders are without Marshawn Lynch for the rest of the […]

A.J. Derby Placed On Injured Reserve

The Miami Dolphins placed tight end A.J. Derby (foot) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday and claimed cornerback Dee Delaney in a corresponding move. Derby had just three catches on five targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in three games for Miami in 2018 as the backup tight end. Rookie Mike Gesicki will continue to […]

Phillies Discussing Madison Bumgarner

The Philadelphia Phillies have spoken to the San Francisco Giants about trading for starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner. The Phils have a greater need for a left-handed starter after losing out on Patrick Corbin. The Brewers are another possible destination for MadBum. While the southpaw is a postseason legend and remains a strong starter, he'll be […]

Braves Not Serious Suitors For J.T. Realmuto

The Atlanta Braves and Miami Marlins have not had serious trade discussions regarding catcher J.T. Realmuto this winter. The Braves have already signed Tyler Flowers to an extension and brought in veteran Brian McCann in free agency. The Braves have been under the impression that the Marlins would like to trade Realmuto out of the […]

Mets Continue To Talk About J.T. Realmuto

The New York Mets continue to discuss a trade for Miami Marlins All-Star catcher J.T. Realmuto and made contact again on Tuesday, according to sources. While the Marlins are highly unlikely to reach a contract extension with Realmuto at this point, they will request a ton in return for Realmuto, who has developed into the […]
