Keenan Allen, Austin Ekeler Not Practicing Tuesday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hip) and running back Austin Ekeler (concussion, neck) are not practicing on Tuesday. While both have a legitimate chance to play in Week 16 against the Ravens on Saturday, they'll need to practice at some point this week to play. Allen will be more of a WR2 at […]

DeSean Jackson Hopes To Play Against Cowboys

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson (thumb) is hopeful of playing in Week 16 against the Cowboys despite missing the last three games with a left thumb injury. D-Jax hasn't practiced since his injury and hasn't been able to even squeeze a football in recent weeks. Even if he returns, he'll be more of […]

Daniel Descalso Joins Cubs

The Chicago Cubs agreed to an undisclosed deal with free-agent infielder Daniel Descalso on Tuesday. Descalso was a utility player for Arizona the last two years and hit .238/.353/.436 with a career-high 13 home runs and 57 RBI in 138 games last season. He spent most of his time at second base (51 games) and […]

Aaron Rodgers In Danger Of Missing Week 16?

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (groin) injured his groin in the Week 15 loss to the Bears, although he wants and expects to play in Week 16 against the Jets. Head coach Joe Philbin also wants and expects Rodgers to suit up. With Green Bay officially eliminated from the postseason, it's fair to wonder […]

Keenan Allen Still In Doubt

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hip) missed practice on Monday and his status for Week 16 against the Ravens remains in doubt. Allen is dealing with a hip pointer that isn't considered serious, so he should be able to return to practice at some point this week and play on Saturday against Baltimore. […]

Melvin Gordon Ready To Knock Off The Rust

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (knee) said that he is ready to knock off some rust in Week 16 against the Ravens after missing the last three games with a knee sprain. “I feel good, not 100% obviously,” Gordon said. “I don’t think that’s a secret. But I’m good enough to get out […]

Todd Gurley Day-To-Day

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley (knee) is dealing with inflammation and is day-to-day, according to head coach Sean McVay. It's the best possible news for Gurley's owners after he missed a little time in the third quarter of Sunday night's loss to the Eagles. He still had 12 carries for 48 yards and […]

Astros Close To Signing Michael Brantley

The Houston Astros are closing in on free-agent outfielder Michael Brantley, according to sources. Rival executives expect the deal to be for two years and around $32 million.

Marcus Murphy Has Dislocated Elbow

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that running back Marcus Murphy (elbow) suffered a dislocated elbow in the Week 15 win over the Lions. It's unlikely that Murphy will be able to play in the final two games. He started on Sunday with both LeSean McCoy and Chris Ivory inactive, carrying the ball 11 […]

Leonard Fournette Dealing With Foot Injury

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (foot) will be on the injury report for Week 16 against the Dolphins with a foot injury.

Ito Smith's Season Is Over

Atlanta Falcons rookie running back Ito Smith (knee) will have knee surgery and will be placed on Injured Reserve, according to head coach Dan Quinn. With Smith out, Quinn said it's also "unlikely" that Devonta Freeman will return this year, which means it'll mostly be Tevin Coleman's backfield in the final two games. Smith was […]

Austin Ekeler Remains In Concussion Protocol

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol, according to head coach Anthony Lynn. Ekeler sat out last Thursday's game, but there is a decent chance he'll play in Week 16 against the Ravens on Saturday if he can clear the protocol at some point this week. However, with […]

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb (concussion) is in the concussion protocol after being evaluated for a concussion in the Week 15 loss to the Bears, according to a source.

Melvin Gordon Will Be Limited Monday

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn said that running back Melvin Gordon (knee) will be limited in practice on Monday. Gordon was close to playing last Thursday against the Chiefs. “If we would have played that game on Sunday, he probably would have played,” Lynn said.

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (foot), who was put on Injured Reserve earlier this month, had surgery last week on his foot and is expected to make a full recovery, according to a source.

Keke Coutee Still Day-To-Day

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Keke Coutee (hamstring) will remain day-to-day this week and will likely be a game-time decision in Week 16 against the Eagles, according to head coach Bill O'Brien. Coutee has been a game-time decision the last two weeks but hasn't played, and he's appeared in just six games all year because […]

Kenyan Drake's Injury Not A Factor In Limited Touches

Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase said running back Kenyan Drake's lack of touches in Week 15 had nothing to do with his shoulder injury. Drake had just one carry in the game despite Frank Gore going down with a foot sprain that is expected to end his season. Rookie Kalen Ballage stepped in after […]

D'Onta Foreman Could Be Active This Week

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said that the team "could" use running back D'Onta Foreman for the first time this year in Week 16 against the Eagles.

Carson Wentz Listed As Week-To-Week

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said that quarterback Carson Wentz (back) is now listed as "week-to-week" and will resume as the team's starting quarterback when he's healthy. The Eagles are holding out hope that they can make the playoffs and use Wentz under center again. Until then, Nick Foles will continue as the starter […]

Nick Foles Will Start In Week 16

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said that quarterback Nick Foles will start again in Week 16 against the Texans. However, Carson Wentz (back), who is unlikely to be healed from a fractured vertebrae in his back for another three months, won't be placed on Injured Reserve. Foles picked up where he left off after […]

Frank Gore Expected To Miss Rest Of Season

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore (foot) is expected to miss the rest of the season after undergoing more tests on his sprained foot, according to a source. The ageless 35-year-old surprisingly saw more touches than Kenyan Drake this year and finishes with 156 carries for 722 yards (4.6 yards per carry), but he found […]

Eli Manning Will Start Against Colts

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur announced Monday that quarterback Eli Manning will start in Week 16 against the Colts.

Chris Boswell Gives Himself Another Chance

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said the team will continue to run with kicker Chris Boswell after he made a big kick late in the Week 15 win over the Patriots. However, he also missed a 32-yard kick in the third quarter. "He's our kicker from start to finish and I liked the way […]

DeVante Parker Doesn't Have A Future With Miami

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker played just 19 of 53 offensive snaps in the Week 15 loss to the Vikings and is likely in his final weeks with the team. The 25-year-old continues to be a disappointment for fantasy owners and the Dolphins, and he's gone over 100 yards just once this year while […]

Nick Foles Likely To Remain Starter

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles will likely remain the starter moving forward with Carson Wentz (back) dealing with a fractured vertebrae in his back. Wentz's injury isn't a long-term concern and he won't need surgery, but he won't be fully recovered for another three months. The Eagles will not put Wentz in harm's way and […]

Leonard Fournette Had Carries Limited

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette rushed just 11 times for 46 yards in the Week 15 loss to the Redskins, and he had only one carry for 25 yards in the second half. Head coach Doug Marrone said the team wanted to see more of David Williams, who had a good week of practice. […]

Tyler Boyd Suffers Low-Grade MCL Sprain

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd (knee) suffered a low-grade MCL sprain in Week 15, according to a source.
