Tyler Boyd Looking Unlikely For Week 16

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd (knee) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday.

With Boyd likely […]

Jamaal Williams To Be Big Part Of Game Plan

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams (toe) is expected to be a big part of the game plan in Week 16 against the Jets, according to interim head coach Joe Philbin.

Eric Ebron, Dontrelle Inman Back At Practice

Indianapolis Colts tight end Eric Ebron (quadriceps) and wide receiver Dontrelle Inman (shoulder) both returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out Wednesday. Both players should play in a must-win game against the Giants this weekend. Despite Ebron's dud against the Cowboys in Week 15, he remains one of the more attractive fantasy tight ends […]

LeSean McCoy Says He'll Play

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy (hamstring), who returned to a full practice on Thursday, said he will play in Week 16 against the Patriots.

Daniel Murphy Agrees With Rockies

Free-agent second baseman Daniel Murphy agreed to a deal with the Colorado Rockies on Thursday. The deal is expected to be for two years and $24 million.

JuJu Smith-Schuster Injured In Practice Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (groin) left practice early with a groin injury on Thursday and was officially limited. Smith-Schuster's Friday practice status will be huge.

Austin Ekeler Doubtful To Face Ravens

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (concussion, neck) is listed as doubtful for Week 16 against the Ravens on Saturday. Ekeler looks primed to miss his second straight game.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hip) took part in the team's walkthrough practice on Thursday but did not practice, according to head coach Dan Quinn.

Jamaal Williams On Week 16 Injury Report

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams (toe) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Williams should be fine for Week 16 against the Jets.

Frank Gore Placed On Injured Reserve

As expected, the Miami Dolphins placed running back Frank Gore (foot) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday with a foot sprain. The 35-year-old curiously touched the ball more than Kenyan Drake in Miami's frustrating offense this year and ran the ball 156 times for 722 yards (4.6 yards per carry) and no touchdowns.

Spencer Ware Gets In Limited Practice

Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware (hamstring) returned to a limited practice on Wednesday.

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller (ankle) and rookie wide receiver Keke Coutee (hamstring) were limited in practice on Wednesday.

Colt McCoy Hopes To Play In Season Finale

Washington Redskins quarterback Colt McCoy (leg) is still hoping to play in the Week 17 season finale against the Eagles despite suffering a broken fibula 27 days ago, according to a source. With Washington's season basically over, it makes no sense for the Redskins to throw McCoy out there too soon. We'd be pretty surprised […]

Yu Darvish Resumes Throwing

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Yu Darvish (elbow) has resumed light throwing on flat ground after having a minor right elbow procedure that ended his 2018 season in September.

Trent Sherfield, Chad Williams Limited

Arizona Cardinals wide receivers Trent Sherfield (ankle) and Chad Williams (hamstring) were both limited in practice on Wednesday.
