Eagles Activate Mike Wallace

The Philadelphia Eagles activated wide receiver Mike Wallace (leg) from Injured Reserve on Monday. He fractured his fibula against the Buccaneers on Sept. 16 and hasn't played since. The veteran deep threat had no catches on three targets in his two games with the Eagles this year but had a 1,000-yard season as recently as […]

Chargers Won't Rest Players Against Broncos

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn said he will not be resting players in Week 17 against the Broncos. “We’re going into this game no different than any other game,” Lynn said. “We’re not worrying about resting people. We’re trying to win the game. Herm Edwards said it best – you play to win.” […]

James Conner Questionable For Week 17

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said that running back James Conner (ankle) is questionable to play in Week 17 against the Bengals in a must-win game. Conner has missed the last three games, but his status will depend on how much he can do in practice this week. If he sits out again, rookie […]

A's Hoping Sean Manaea Will Return At Midseason

Oakland Athletics president of baseball operations Billy Beane said the team is optimistic that starting pitcher Sean Manaea (shoulder) will be able to return next year around the All-Star break. The left-hander had left shoulder surgery in September, which was called a subacromial decompression of his labrum. Manaea had a career year in 2018, going […]

Saints Not Tipping Their Hand For Week 17

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton said on Monday that the team will approach their Week 17 game against the Panthers like any other regular season game and try to win. New Orleans is already locked into the No. 1 overall seed throughout the NFC playoffs, so it doesn't make much sense to risk […]

Tevin Coleman Has Strained Groin

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said that running back Tevin Coleman (groin) strained his groin in Week 16. He will take part in walkthrough practices this week and is getting treatment. The Falcons aren't ruling him out for Week 17 against the Buccaneers, and he has a good chance to play. As long as […]

Marquise Goodwin, Garrett Celek Dealing With Injuries

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (calf) and tight end Garrett Celek (concussion) are dealing with injuries heading into the Week 17 season finale against the Rams.

Matt Breida Out For Week 17

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) will not play in Week 17 against the Rams after aggravating his ankle injury early in the Week 16 loss to the Bears. Breida's season will mercifully come to an end after playing hurt for most of the season. Despite the bum ankle, he ran 153 times […]

Rashaad Penny Expected To Return In Week 17

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that rookie running back Rashaad Penny (knee) "should come roaring back this week." Penny has missed the last two games but appears to be on track to play in the regular season finale in Week 17 against the Cardinals. Even though Carroll isn't expected to rest his starters, […]

Seahawks Not Expected To Rest Players

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll is not a fan of resting players despite having a playoff spot clinched. Seattle is locked into either the No. 5 or 6 seed in the NFC playoffs, but they aren't expected to rest their starters in Week 17 against the Cardinals. Expect Russell Wilson, Chris Carson, Doug Baldwin, […]

Mike Wallace Returning To Practice

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mike Wallace (leg), who has been on Injured Reserve with a broken leg, will take part in individual drills in practice this week. Wallace hasn't played since Sept. 16 and didn't have a catch on three targets in his two games. It's a long shot that the Eagles will even make […]

Josh Johnson To Start In Week 17; Colt McCoy Not Ready

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden made it clear on Monday that quarterback Josh Johnson will finish the season as the starter in Week 17 against the Eagles. Colt McCoy broke his leg in early December and was hoping to return before the end of the season, but he is not ready. Johnson has thrown […]

Austin Ekeler Expected To Return In Week 17

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn said he expects running back Austin Ekeler (concussion, neck) to play in Week 17 against the Broncos. The Chargers are still playing for the No. 1 seed and home-field advantage in the AFC playoffs, so getting Ekeler back as the change-of-pace back to Melvin Gordon would be big. […]

Eli Manning To Close Out Season Under Center

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning will start in Week 17 against the Cowboys in the season finale, according to head coach Pat Shurmur. Despite the coaching staff seemingly in favor of bringing back Manning in 2019 as the starter, this has the potential to be his final home game with the Giants. Manning did […]

Lamar Miller Has A Chance To Face Jaguars

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said that running back Lamar Miller (ankle) has a chance to return in Week 17 against the Jaguars. Miller sat out the Week 16 loss to the Eagles, but he seems truly questionable to return for the regular season finale in a tough draw against Jacksonville. If Miller misses […]

Nick Foles To Start In Week 17

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said on Monday that quarterback Nick Foles will start in Week 17 against the Redskins. Forget FitzMagic, we're all about the Foles magic. After leading a big upset over the Rams in Week 15, Foles pulled off a huge comeback win at home over the Texans in a must-win […]

Jermaine Kearse Dealing With Achilles Injury

New York Jets head coach Todd Bowles said that wide receiver Jermaine Kearse (Achilles) suffered an Achilles injury in Week 16 against the Packers and is having tests done on Monday. Kearse had four catches for 55 yards on Sunday, which was actually one of his better games of the season. Even with Quincy Enunwa […]

Quincy Enunwa Unlikely To Play In Week 17

New York Jets head coach Todd Bowles said the chances are "slim" that wide receiver Quincy Enunwa (ankle) will play in Week 17 against the Patriots. It will mean that Enunwa will finish off the season missing the final three games. He has 38 catches (68 targets) for 449 yards and only one touchdown in […]

Ryan Tannehill To Start In Week 17

Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase said quarterback Ryan Tannehill will start in Week 17 against the Bills. The Dolphins will roll with their starters despite being eliminated from the playoffs after a Week 16 loss to the Jaguars. How long Tannehill will actually stay in the game is another question, but he's still a […]

Cowboys Not Planning To Rest Starters?

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones seemed adamant that the team wouldn't be resting their starters in Week 17 against the Giants despite clinching the NFC East title with a win over the Buccaneers in Week 16. “Absolutely. We’re all-out. We’ve got work to do. We’ve got some work to do out here, I think we’ll […]

Taylor Heinicke Getting MRI

Carolina Panthers quarterback Taylor Heinicke (elbow) is undergoing an MRI exam on his left elbow on Monday, according to head coach Ron Rivera. Heinicke left the game for a bit in Week 16 against the Falcons after being injured, but he returned and finished the game. He was predictably inconsistent and went 33-for-53 for 274 […]

Christian McCaffrey Could Be Rested

While Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera won't officially say whether running back Christian McCaffrey will be rested in Week 17 against the Saints, he admitted "we need to be smart" and that it could be a good time "to evaluate" their younger players. McCaffrey has already become only the third player in NFL history […]

Marcus Mariota Dealing With UCL Injury Again

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota (elbow), who suffered what was believed to be a stinger in Week 16 on Saturday, is actually dealing with another ulnar collateral ligament injury in his right elbow. It's an injury that bothered him earlier this year and caused numbness in his right hand and caused him to struggle to […]

Todd Gurley May Be Rested In Week 17

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley (knee), who was a surprise inactive in Week 16 against the Cardinals, may be held out for a second straight game in Week 17 against the 49ers to ensure that he is close to 100 percent for the start of the postseason. With fantasy championships on the line, […]

Dante Pettis Won't Play In Season Finale

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis (knee) suffered an MCL injury in the Week 16 loss to the Bears. He will not require surgery, but Pettis won't play in Week 17 against the Rams. Pettis caught three of his five targets for 21 yards on Sunday, so he wasn't of much help to his […]

Tevin Coleman Injures Groin

Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman (groin) left the game early in the second half with a groin injury in Week 16 against the Panthers and is questionable to return. Late in the game, we'd be surprised if Coleman returns in a meaningless game. As he often does, Coleman was a bust in a lead-back […]

Demaryius Thomas Believed To Have Torn Achilles

Updating a previous report, Houston Texans wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (Achilles) is believed to have suffered a torn Achilles in Week 16 against the Eagles, according to a source. He was carted off the field and is undergoing more tests to confirm. It would obviously be a season-ending injury for Thomas and would put his […]

Demaryius Thomas Carted Off

Houston Texans wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (leg) was carted off the field in the second half of Week 16 against the Eagles with an apparent leg injury. It has the looks of a substantial injury that will end Thomas' season, but stay tuned for more details on his injury. Thomas was seeing low volume in […]

Jamaal Williams In Concussion Protocol

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams (concussion) is in the concussion protocol in Week 16 against the Jets and is questionable to return. The good news is that those that started Williams in the fantasy finals were rewarded before his injury, as he ran the ball 10 times for 70 yards and a touchdown […]

Ted Ginn Active In Week 16

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn (knee) is active for Week 16 against the Steelers for the first time since Sept. 30 against the Giants. As a result, Austin Carr and Simmie Cobbs are healthy scratches on Sunday. Tight end Dan Arnold is also a healthy scratch. Ginn is a boost to New Orleans' […]
