Ben Roethlisberger Listed As Questionable
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (elbow) is listed as questionable for Week 2 against the Chiefs, but he practiced in full on Friday and his teammates expect him to play. If he can't play, Joshua Dobbs would be under center. We'd be very shocked if Big Ben didn't suit up to play. Not only is […]

LeGarrette Blount, Ezekiel Ansah Questionable
Detroit Lions running back LeGarrette Blount (shoulder) and defensive end Ezekiel Ansah (shoulder) were both limited in practice on Friday but are questionable for Week 2 against the 49ers. Blount played very few snaps in a blowout loss in Week 1. He should be able to suit up and should be more involved, but both […]

Vance McDonald, Cameron Heyward Questionable
Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald (foot) and defensive end Cameron Heyward (knee) are both questionable for Week 2 against the Chiefs. Both players got in full practices on Friday, which is a good sign for their availability. Cornerback Joe Haden (hamstring) is doubtful, while cornerback Artie Burns (toe) is questionable. McDonald sat out the […]

Aaron Rodgers, Davante Adams Questionable
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) and wide receiver Davante Adams (shoulder) are both listed as questionable for Week 2 against the Vikings. More will be known after the team practices on Saturday, but this is the last thing Packers fans want to see. Rodgers could play on Sunday regardless of whether he practices, […]

Corey Davis Good To Go
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis (hamstring) practiced in full on Friday and was removed from the Week 2 injury report against the Texans. Davis was heavily targeted in the Week 1 loss and should be again this weekend. However, he must be downgraded slightly with quarterback Marcus Mariota (elbow) ailing and expected to cede […]

DeAndre Hopkins, Will Fuller Questionable
Houston Texans wide receivers DeAndre Hopkins (foot), Will Fuller (hamstring), Sammie Coates (hamstring) and rookie Keke Coutee (hamstring) and defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (back, elbow) were all limited in practice on Friday but are questionable for Week 2 against the Titans. Hopkins and Fuller are both fully expected to play this weekend. Hopkins is a […]

Andrew Cashner Receives Cortisone Injection
Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Andrew Cashner (knee) received a cortisone injection in his left knee on Thursday, but he'll try to throw on Saturday. He's dealing with patella bursitis and has affected him for the last two to three weeks. Cashner believes the injury could be a reason for his lack of fastball command of […]

David Johnson Practices In Full
Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (back) practiced in full on Friday and labeled himself "100 percent" after being limited earlier in the week. All signs are pointing toward him being active against the Rams in Week 2. As long as Johnson is on the field on game days, he'll be a must-start for fantasy […]

Ezekiel Ansah Optimistic He'll Play
Detroit Lions defensive end Ezekiel Elliott (shoulder) said he's optimistic he will play in Week 2 against the 49ers. Ansah was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday, so it looks like there's a good chance he'll play this weekend. He's the team's best chance for a consistent pass rush this year, but he's often […]

Jermaine Kearse Will Play In Week 2
New York Jets wide receivers Quincy Enunwa (thumb), Jermaine Kearse (abdomen) and Terrelle Pryor (ankle) all practiced in full on Friday and have been removed from the final injury report for Week 2 against the Dolphins. It'll be Kearse's season debut, but he'll return to a crowded receiver picture where Robby Anderson and Enunwa will […]

Andre Smith Won't Play In Week 2
Arizona Cardinals right tackle Andre Smith (elbow) has been ruled out for Week 2 against the Rams. This is bad news for the Cardinals offense all around against a strong pass rush of the LA Rams. While running back David Johnson remains a top-five play at his position, the Cardinals could have to abandon the […]

Marquise Goodwin Not Practicing Friday
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (quadriceps) is not practicing on Friday, which is not a good sign for his availability in Week 2 against the Lions, according to Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle. Goodwin hasn't practiced all week at this point, making it seem likely that he'll sit out. If that […]

Michael Thomas, Ted Ginn Will Play
New Orleans Saints wide receivers Michael Thomas (illness) and Ted Ginn (knee) both practiced in full on Friday and will play in Week 2 against the Browns. Thomas' status was never in doubt, but Ginn worried his owners by missing practice on Wednesday. They'll be the top two options for quarterback Drew Brees against Cleveland. […]

Brent Grimes, Vita Vea Ruled Out
Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Brent Grimes (groin) and rookie defensive tackle Vita Vea (calf) didn't practice on Friday and have been ruled out for Week 2 against the Eagles. With both Grimes and Vernon Hargreaves out, life will be much easier for Eagles quarterback Nick Foles and his receivers. Wideout Nelson Agholor is pretty much […]
Keith Hernandez
DeSean Jackson, Jason Pierre-Paul Questionable
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson (shoulder, concussion) and defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul (knee) are both listed as questionable for Week 2 against the Eagles. Jackson got in a full practice on Friday, which bodes well for his availability against his old team. JPP was limited again Friday. D-Jax went over 100 yards in […]

Taylor Lewan, Jack Conklin Both Out
Tennessee Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan (concussion) and right tackle Jack Conklin (knee) have both been ruled out for Week 2 against the Texans, according to head coach Mike Vrabel. It's never good news when both your left and right tackles are out, especially when they are as good as both Lewan and Conklin. It's […]

Marcus Mariota, Blaine Gabbert Could Both Play
Tennessee Titans quarterbacks Marcus Mariota (elbow) and Blaine Gabbert are both expected to see playing time in Week 2 against the Texans, according to head coach Mike Vrabel. It's a curious strategy with Mariota fighting an elbow injury, but it doesn't seem like a winning one. Mariota was a bottom-of-the-barrel QB2 in two-QB leagues to […]

Roenis Elias To Start Friday
Seattle Mariners pitcher Roenis Elias will get the start on Friday against the Angels in place of ace James Paxton (illness), who is battling pneumonia. Elias, a fellow lefty, has a 3.50 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and weak 5.8 K/9 in 18 outings (two starts) this year for Seattle. He didn't go past 3 2/3 innings […]

Jose Iglesias Moved To 60-Day DL
The Detroit Tigers moved shortstop Jose Iglesias (abdomen) from the 10-day disabled list to the 60-day DL on Friday, meaning he will miss the rest of the season. Infielder Pete Kozma was called up from Triple-A Toledo in a corresponding move. Iglesias finishes with a .269/.310/.389 line with five home runs, 48 RBI, 43 runs […]

Gregory Polanco Could Miss Start Of 2019 Season
Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Gregory Polanco (shoulder, knee) had surgery on his labrum in addition to the stabilization of his dislocated left shoulder. The typical recovery time for this type of surgery is around seven to ninth months, which could affect Polanco's readiness for the start of the regular season. There's a good chance it does, […]

Hector Velazquez Scratched From Start
Boston Red Sox pitcher Hector Velazquez (illness) has been scratched from his start on Friday due to illness. William Cuevas will instead make the start against the Mets in what is likely to be a bullpen game now. Cuevas has made just four appearances in the big leagues this year (7 1/3 innings) and all […]

Trai Turner, Curtis Samuel Ruled Out
Carolina Panthers offensive guard Trai Turner (concussion) and wide receiver Curtis Samuel (heart) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 2 against the Falcons. Wide receiver Damiere Byrd (knee) was also ruled out. With Turner out, the Panthers are also missing left tackle Matt Kalil and right tackle Daryl Williams. […]

C.J. Anderson, Luke Kuechly Off Injury Report
Carolina Panthers running back C.J. Anderson (illness) and linebacker Luke Kuechly (knee) both practiced in full on Friday and are off the final injury report for Week 2 against the Falcons. Both players were never in any danger of missing action this weekend. Anderson is the clear No. 2 to Christian McCaffrey and is a […]

Anthony Castonzo Ruled Out
Indianapolis Colts left tackle Anthony Castonzo (hamstring) had a setback in practice on Thursday, didn't practice again on Friday and has been ruled out for Week 2 against the Redskins. Castonzo is getting closer to a return, but it'll have to wait until Week 3. It's bad news for an already weak offensive line, and […]

Marlon Mack Questionable For Week 2
Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (hamstring) practiced in full on Friday but is questionable for Week 2 against the Redskins. Everything points to Mack making his season debut this weekend, but he could still be a game-time decision. It's unclear how Indy's backfield will shake out if he returns, but Mack should see decent […]

Eric Berry Doubtful To Play
Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) didn't practice on Friday and will be listed as doubtful for Week 2 against the Steelers. Berry wasn't expected to suit up after not practicing all week, and there remains no timetable for his return. KC's defense was shredded by Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers in Week 1, and […]
Keith Hernandez
Olivier Vernon Ruled Out
New York Giants defensive end Olivier Vernon (ankle) didn't practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 2 against the Cowboys. Vernon is dealing with a high ankle sprain, so he was never expected to play this weekend. He should have a better chance to return next week, but it's no guarantee. New […]

Sterling Shepard, Wayne Gallman Off Injury Report
New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (back) and running back Wayne Gallman (knee) were taken off the final injury report for Week 2 against the Cowboys. Shepard is a WR4/flex play in a much better matchup against a beat up Dallas secondary. Gallman will split backup repetitions with Jonathan Stewart behind rookie Saquon Barkley. […]

Cameron Meredith Still Getting Up To Speed
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Cameron Meredith has been a full practice participant, but head coach Sean Payton said the receiver is still getting up to speed in learning the offense. Meredith was a healthy scratch in Week 1 after missing most of training camp and the preseason while rehabbing from a knee injury that […]

Hunter Henry Running Sprints
Los Angeles Chargers tight end Hunter Henry (knee) is running diagonal sprints while wearing a knee brace on Friday just four months removed from surgery on his right ACL. Henry must still sit out the first eight weeks of the season, and even then he's not guaranteed to return right after that. It's a good […]
