Olivier Vernon Limited On Wednesday

New York Giants defensive end Olivier Vernon (ankle) was limited in practice on Wednesday. It's the first practice for Vernon during the regular season, and a good sign that he is progressing from his high ankle sprain. It's not a lock that he will return this weekend, but he could if he makes more progress […]

Jonathan Stewart, Eli Apple, Damon Harrison Miss Practice

New York Giants running back Jonathan Stewart (foot), wide receiver Cody Latimer (knee), cornerback Eli Apple (groin) and defensive tackle Damon Harrison (knee) all missed practice on Wednesday. It's not a good sign to start the week, but they could have a chance at playing this Sunday if they return to practice in the next […]

Jay Ajayi, Darren Sproles Missing Practice

Philadelphia Eagles running backs Jay Ajayi (back) and Darren Sproles (hamstring) missed practice again on Wednesday. The Eagles continue to play it slow with both running backs, and their weeks aren't off to a great start if they hope to play against the Titans in Week 4. If they are both inactive again this Sunday, […]

Luis Castillo Won't Start Friday

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Luis Castillo has been shut down for the season and will not make his final start on Friday. He is completely healthy, but the team just felt he had enough innings on the year. The right-hander was a disappointment in the first half but bounced back to finish 10-12 with a […]

Didi Gregorius Cleared For Baseball Activities

New York Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius (wrist) has been cleared to resume baseball activities. It's excellent news after Gregorius suffered ligament damage in his wrist during a slide at home plate last Saturday. A cortisone shot this week seems to have done the trick, and Gregorius could see some action to close out the regular […]

Devon Travis Not Expected To Play Again This Year

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Devon Travis (knee, hamstring) will undergo an MRI exam on his left knee after he's been dealing with knee and hamstring soreness. He's not expected to play again this year, but the injury isn't believed to be serious. Despite playing a career-high 103 games in 2018, Travis managed to disappoint […]

Dallas Keuchel To Go 2-4 Innings Saturday

Houston Astros starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel will start against the Orioles on Saturday but will only go between two and four innings. Framber Valdez will likely pitch in relief after Keuchel. It'll be Keuchel's final regular season start and will be a tune-up for the postseason. It's a great matchup, but don't expect Keuchel to […]

Charlie Morton Could Start Sunday

The Houston Astros are hoping that starting pitcher Charlie Morton (shoulder) will be able to start the regular season finale on Sunday against the Orioles. Morton and his wife are awaiting their newborn child in Houston. Josh James will also be available to pitch on Sunday if he's needed. Morton left his last start early […]

Julio Jones Not Practicing Wednesday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (calf) was not seen at practice on Wednesday. Jones missed several practices last week as a precaution but still played in the Week 3 win over the Panthers. The veteran wideout will often be rested during the practice week, as he often battles through nagging injuries but still plays. […]

Mike Nugent Put On IR

The Oakland Raiders placed kicker Mike Nugent (hip) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday. He'll be out for at least the next eight weeks of the season. In his place, Oakland signed undrafted free-agent kicker Matt McCrane to handle the kicking duties moving forward. Oakland's kicking situation needs to be avoided by fantasy owners.

Larry Fitzgerald Limited Wednesday

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald (hamstring) was doing individual drills without his helmet in practice on Wednesday. The Cardinals continue to limit the veteran in practice, but he should be able to play in Week 4 against the Seahawks. Fitz had a disappointing two catches on two targets for just nine yards in Week […]

Tyrod Taylor Still Not Practicing

Cleveland Browns quarterback Tyrod Taylor (concussion) was not back at practice on Wednesday. If he's not cleared in time for Week 4 against the Raiders, the Browns will go with Drew Stanton as the backup to rookie Baker Mayfield. Taylor has lost the starting job to the exciting Mayfield after the rookie led a second-half […]

Jimmy Graham Not At Practice Wednesday

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham (undisclosed) did not practice on Wednesday due to an undisclosed injury. It's an ominous sign, but we'd like to get more information on his status before jumping to conclusions. While Graham has still yet to find the end zone in his first season with Green Bay, he does […]

A.J. Green, Joe Mixon Work Off To The Side

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green (groin) and running back Joe Mixon (knee) were both off to the side working with the rehab group in practice on Wednesday. The team is optimistic that Green will suit up in Week 4 in an attackable matchup against a beat up Falcons secondary. If he plays, he'll be […]

No Practice For Ezekiel Ansah Wednesday

Detroit Lions defensive end Ezekiel Ansah (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday. Ansah has missed the team's last two games, and he isn't off to a good start this week. The oft-injured defensive lineman is Detroit's main source for a pass rush, so their defense could be in trouble if he continues to sit out. […]

Trey Flowers, Patrick Chung Return To Practice

New England Patriots defensive end Trey Flowers (concussion) and safety Patrick Chung (concussion) both returned to practice on Wednesday. It's a great sign for their availability in Week 4 against the Dolphins after they both were inactive in the Sunday night loss to the Lions where their absences were clearly felt. If both defenders were […]

Dansby Swanson Returns To Atlanta

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson (hand, wrist) returned to Atlanta on Wednesday to be examined by head team physician Dr. Gary Lourie. Swanson injured himself on a swing on Tuesday, and the Braves are concerned it could be a significant injury like a similar one that kept him out for around two weeks earlier this […]

Hayden Hurst Back On Practice Field

Baltimore Ravens rookie tight end Hayden Hurst (foot), who hasn't played yet this year after having foot surgery last month, returned to practice on Wednesday. It doesn't mean that Hurst will make his NFL debut in Week 4 against the Steelers, but it's progress nonetheless. Fellow rookie Mark Andrews has stood out as the most […]

LeSean McCoy To Be Limited

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy (ribs) will be limited in practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Sean McDermott. McCoy sat out of the Week 3 win against the Vikings, and he could be questionable yet again in Week 4 against the Packers. McCoy hasn't done much for his fantasy owners behind a bad […]

Eduardo Nunez To Return To Action This Weekend

Boston Red Sox infielder Eduardo Nunez (hamstring) will serve as the designated hitter on Friday and will play third base on Sunday. Nunez has been out since Sept. 19, but the Red Sox want to get him back in there before the playoffs start next week. Nunez hasn't been as good this year as he […]

C.J. Mosley Says He's Day-To-Day

Baltimore Ravens linebacker C.J. Mosley (knee) said he feels better than last week and considers himself "day-to-day" with a knee bruise. Mosley practiced once last week before being inactive in Week 3 against the Broncos. His return would be a big boost to an already strong Ravens defensive unit. They could really use the boost […]

Carlos Correa Back In Lineup Wednesday

Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa (back) is serving as the designated hitter and batting third on Wednesday against Blue Jays starter Sean Reid-Foley. Correa has been out for a week with lingering back issues. Since his return from the disabled list on Aug. 10, Correa has hit just .174 with a home run and 13 […]

Chance Sisco Could Return This Weekend

Baltimore Orioles manager Buck Showalter is hoping that catcher Chance Sisco (concussion) can return from the concussion protocol this weekend. Sisco has been a disaster at the plate in 63 games for the Orioles this year, hitting .181/.288/.269 with two homers and 16 RBI. He won't be of much help to fantasy owners if he […]

Rex Burkhead Going On Injured Reserve

The New England Patriots will place running back Rex Burkhead (neck) on the Injured Reserve on Wednesday after he injured his neck in the Week 3 loss to the Lions, according to a league source. Rookie linebacker Ja'Whaun Bentley will also go on IR with an unknown injury. It's unknown if Burkhead will be able […]

Eduardo Rodriguez Could Get A Start This Weekend

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez will pitch an inning out of the bullpen either Wednesday or Friday. But if he doesn't, he could make a start over the weekend, with Saturday being most likely. E-Rod isn't a lock to be in the postseason bullpen yet, but it looks like that will be the […]

Evan Engram To Miss 2-4 Weeks

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (knee) is expected to miss two to four weeks with an MCL sprain, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Rhett Ellison should be the top tight end with Engram gone. He caught a touchdown after replacing Engram in Week 3, but he's more of a blocking tight end […]

Aaron Rodgers To Sit Out Wednesday

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) will sit out of practice on Wednesday to rest his left knee. After spraining his knee in the season opener, Rodgers has only practiced the day before games on Saturday. This could become a regular occurrence throughout the season for the star quarterback. As long as he's on […]

Devonta Freeman, Takkarist McKinley To Return To Practice

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said defensive end Takkarist McKinley (groin) and running back Devonta Freeman (knee) will return to practice this week. "Definitely Takk is going to practice some today," Quinn told "The Morning Show with John and Hugh" on Wednesday morning. "Devonta and Derrick are definitely trending up, they'll be able to […]

Alshon Jeffery Cleared For Contact

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) has been cleared for contact on Wednesday, but a final determination on Jeffery's status for Week 4 against the Titans will be made later in the week. Jeffery has yet to play in a game this year, but his return will be needed […]

Chris Conte Played Through Torn PCL

Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Chris Conte (knee) played through a torn PCL in his knee on Monday night, according to a source. Conte said he "gutted it out and honestly shouldn't have played." He will be out the next six weeks. Conte was embarrassed on a ferocious stiff arm from Steelers tight end Vance McDonald […]
