Paul Richardson Injures Knee Monday

Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson (knee) suffered a knee injury on Monday night against the Saints and is doubtful to return. Richardson had four catches on five targets for 50 yards before departing, and he was seen on the sidelines with ice wrapped around his knee. It's concerning for the 'Skins with Josh Doctson […]

Avisail Garcia, Kevan Smith Undergo Surgeries

Chicago White Sox outfielder Avisail Garcia (knee) and catcher Kevan Smith (ankle) both had successful offseason surgeries. Both surgeries weren't believed to be very serious, so both Garcia and Smith should be fully recovered in time for spring training in 2019. Garcia was a big disappointment after being an All-Star in 2016, hitting .236/.281/.438 with […]

Marshon Lattimore Being Evaluated For Concussion

New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore (head) left the game early in the first quarter on Monday night and is being evaluated for a concussion. Lattimore collided with his own teammate and was taken to the medical tent before leaving for the locker room. The team's first-round pick in 2017 had 13 tackles and a […]

Matt Slauson Placed On IR

The Indianapolis Colts placed right guard Matt Slauson on Injured Reserve on Monday with an undisclosed injury. Offensive lineman Evan Boehm was signed off the Rams practice squad in a corresponding move. Slauson played every offensive snap in Week 5 against the Patriots last Thursday and had started every game this year. Second-rounder Braden Smith […]

Dante Pettis Won't Play In Week 6

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis (knee) will not play in Week 6 against the Packers on Monday night. Pettis was ruled out early in the week last week, too, so it looks like he's not anywhere close to returning. That's bad news for a Niners receiving corps that also was without Marquise Goodwin […]

Corey Clement On Track To Play Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement (quadriceps) would have practiced in full had the team held a practice on Monday. Clement has missed the last two weeks, but he appears to be close to returning on a short week on Thursday against the Giants. It's good timing, too, with Jay Ajayi (knee) now out for […]

Darren Sproles Missing Practice Monday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles (hamstring) wouldn't have practiced on Monday if the team had held a session. Sproles hasn't played since the season opener, but the Eagles need him back now with Jay Ajayi (knee) out for the rest of the year. Sproles could return in Week 7, but he'll likely be eased […]

Eagles Have No Plans To Pursue Le'Veon Bell

The Philadelphia Eagles haven't pursued a trade for Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell and have no plans to do so despite losing Jay Ajayi (knee) for the season, according to sources. Philadelphia also restructured the contract of Pro Bowl defensive tackle Fletcher Cox on Friday, creating $6.5 million more in salary cap space this […]

Saquon Barkley Not On Week 6 Injury Report

New York Giants rookie running back Saquon Barkley isn't on the initial injury report for Week 6 against the Eagles on Thursday night. He'll be ready to go. Barkley looked to injury his lower body on a touchdown late in the Week 5 loss to the Panthers, but apparently he's fine. The promising youngster has […]

Trent Williams Playing Against Saints

Washington Redskins left tackle Trent Williams (knee), who was listed as questionable, is active for Monday night against the Saints. Williams underwent a cleanup procedure on his knee during the bye week last week and was always expected to play in this one. He's the blind-side protector for quarterback Alex Smith and will try to […]

Josh Doctson, Samaje Perine Inactive Monday Night

Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson (heel) and running back Samaje Perine are both inactive for Monday night against the Saints. Doctson was in a walking boot late last week, so he was always a long shot to play in this one. In his absence, Jamison Crowder and Paul Richardson should see more targets against […]

Patriots Re-Sign Kenjon Barner

The New England Patriots re-signed running back Kenjon Barner on Monday for the third different time so far this season. Barner will provide depth behind rookie Sony Michel and James White, but he's unlikely to have any fantasy impact unless one of the two ahead of him are hurt.

Chris Sale Not In Consideration For Game 4 Start

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said he will not start Chris Sale on short rest in Game 4 of the American League Division Series against the Yankees if they are facing elimination. Starter David Price, who wasn't long for his outing in Game 2 Saturday, said he's available to pitch in Game 3 on […]

Aldrick Rosas On Injury Report

New York Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas (quadriceps) is on the injury report for Week 6 against the Eagles on Thursday. New injuries on a short week are never a good thing, but it doesn't sound like Rosas' injury is very serious. Rosas is a perfect 11-for-11 on field goal tries and has made all seven […]

Evan Engram Has A Shot To Play Thursday

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said tight end Evan Engram (knee) has a "shot to make it" for Thursday night against the Eagles. It seems doubtful that Engram would suit up on a short week and risk further injury, but the Giants aren't ruling him out. Even if Engram were to be active […]

Jay Ajayi Tears His ACL

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jay Ajayi (knee) tore his ACL in the Week 5 loss to the Vikings and has been put on Injured Reserve, ending his 2018 season, according to a source. It's a huge blow to an Eagles offense that continues to be decimated by injuries as they try to defend their Super […]

Matt Breida Has Mid Ankle Sprain

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida's (ankle) MRI exam came back negative, according to a source. His injury is considered more of a mid ankle sprain, which is good news. Breida has also been fighting a variety of other injuries this year and has proven to be a quick healer. However, that doesn't mean […]

Le'Veon Bell, James Conner To Form Committee?

The emergence of Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner could allow the team to ease Le'Veon Bell back into things following the team's Week 7 bye against the Browns. Bell got off to a slow start last year after his holdout early in the year, and he's also worried about his overall workload as he […]

Matt Ryan Undergoes X-Rays

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan (foot) underwent X-rays on Sunday but is 100 percent ready to go for a great matchup in Week 6 against a terrible Buccaneers secondary. Ryan had 285 yards passing with just one touchdown in a disappointing showing against the Steelers in Week 5, but he'll be a strong QB1 this […]

Leonard Fournette To Miss Week 6

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) will miss another game in Week 6 against the Cowboys, according to sources. Fournette aggravated his hamstring in Week 4 and will now miss two straight games. With Corey Grant (foot) on Injured Reserve, the Jags will roll with T.J. Yeldon and Brandon Wilds in their backfield next […]

Rashard Higgins Week-To-Week With Knee Sprain

Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson said wide receiver Rashard Higgins (knee) is week-to-week with an MCL sprain. These types of injuries usually require two to four weeks of rest, so don't expect Higgins back in Week 6 against the Chargers. It's a shame because Higgins was looking like a legitimate No. 2 behind Jarvis […]

Greg Olsen Likely To Need Offseason Surgery

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (foot), who is expected to return in Week 6 against the Redskins, said he'll likely need offseason surgery for his Jones fracture. Olsen re-fractured his foot in the season opener but recovered quickly and could return this Sunday. While there is a high chance of re-injury, Olsen will immediately […]

Ravens Trying To Keep Alex Collins Fresh

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said the team is trying to keep Alex Collins fresh after he played just 27 snaps in the Week 5 overtime loss to the Browns. "A fresh running back is a good thing. We need to spread the load," Harbaugh said. Collins had 12 carries for 59 yards (4.9 […]

Cardinals Sign Kendall Wright

The Arizona Cardinals signed free-agent wide receiver Kendall Wright to a one-year deal on Monday and released rookie cornerback Deatrick Nichols in a corresponding move. Wright was the Bears leading receiver in 2017 with 59 catches for 614 yards and a touchdown. Arizona needs a lot of help on offense, generating 786 yards through the […]

Aaron Hicks Remains Out In Game 3

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks (hamstring) remains out of the starting lineup for Game 3 of the American League Division Series on Monday against the Red Sox. Hicks was injured on Friday in Game 1 but was feeling better and was hoping to return on Monday. Brett Gardner will continue to fill in for […]

Darius Leonard Expects To Play Against Jets

Indianapolis Colts rookie linebacker Darius Leonard (ankle) was close to playing last Thursday against the Patriots and expects to return in Week 6 against the Jets. In four games, Leonard has quickly put himself on the map as an IDP must-start with a whopping 54 tackles, four sacks and one forced fumble. If he's active […]

Rafael Devers, Steve Pearce, Brock Holt Starting

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers, first baseman Steve Pearce and infielder Brock Holt are all in the starting lineup for Game 3 of the American League Division Series on Monday against Yankees starter Luis Severino. Devers is starting at third and hitting fifth, Pearce is at first and batting sixth and Holt is […]

Jaire Alexander Could Return In Week 6

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said first-round cornerback Jaire Alexander (groin) could return in Week 6 against the 49ers after sitting out in Week 5. Alexander has been one of the team's best defensive backs so far this year, so getting him back next weekend would be huge in a very winnable game […]

Packers Sticking With Mason Crosby

The Green Bay Packers don't appear to be exploring other kicking options after kicker Mason Crosby missed four field goals and an extra point in the Week 5 loss to the Lions. "He's got to make those kicks. He's a proven highly successful kicker, and I believe in him but he's got to make those […]

Aaron Jones Hindered By Committee Backfield

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones has a lot of potential, but his workload remains limited while sharing touches with Jamaal Williams and Ty Montgomery. "He's dynamic with the ball in his hands. But there's more to the position than just running the football. We have diversity in our attack with three guys. All […]
