Anthony Castonzo Expects To Debut In Week 6

Indianapolis Colts left tackle Anthony Castonzo (hamstring) continues to be cautious after having multiple setbacks with his injury, but he fully expects to make his season debut in Week 6 against the Jets. He was a full participant in practice on Wednesday for the first time this year. It'd be great for quarterback Andrew Luck […]

Randall Cobb, Geronimo Allison Practice Thursday

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Randall Cobb (hamstring) and Geronimo Allison (concussion, hamstring) were both surprise participants in practice on Thursday and even took part in 11-on-11 drills. They were both originally expected to be in the rehab group off to the side, so this is great news for their statuses for Monday night against […]

Eric Berry, Justin Houston Not Practicing Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) and linebacker Justin Houston (hamstring) both missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Berry hasn't played yet this year and has no timetable for a return. Houston is one of the team's best pass rushers, so they could be in serious trouble without him on Sunday […]

Sean Lee Takes Part In Individual Drills

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee (hamstring) took part in individual drills during the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday. It's his first work in practice since injuring his hamstring in Week 3 against the Seahawks. Lee is still probably on the wrong side of questionable for Week 6 against the Jaguars, but […]

Nick Senzel Out 4-6 Weeks

Cincinnati Reds third base prospect Nick Senzel (elbow) needs surgery to remove bone spurs in his left elbow, which will keep him out for four to six weeks. It's a setback, as Senzel was hoping to get repetitions in the outfield in the Arizona Fall League, but he is expecting to be 100 percent healthy […]

Jon Gray Wasn't Healthy In 2018

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jon Gray said he simply wasn't healthy in 2018. "I wasn’t really healthy," Gray told the Denver Post, "My (velocity) was down this year. I was down about 20 pounds this year. I need to get back to 230-235." In an effort to bounce back after posting a disappointing 5.12 ERA, […]

Cubs Haven't Offered Kris Bryant An Extension

Recent reports that the Chicago Cubs offered third baseman Kris Bryant "a massive extension" worth "well north of $200 million" are "simply not true," according to sources. Bryant remains under control through the 2021 season, so there has been no rush on either side to work out a contract extension yet. A left shoulder injury […]

Ross Stripling Had Been Tipping Pitches

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Ross Stripling admitted that he had been tipping his pitches recently. It had to do with his foot positioning while he was in the stretch with men on base. Stripling was an All-Star this year and put up excellent numbers, but he was injured in the second half and struggled upon […]

Trumaine Johnson, Buster Skrine Out Thursday

New York Jets cornerbacks Trumaine Johnson (quadriceps) and Buster Skrine (concussion) both sat out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday and appear doubtful to play in Week 6 against the Colts. Johnson is on track to miss his second straight game. If both defensive backs are out, it'll severely weaken New York's […]

Cameron Wake Still Sidelined

Miami Dolphins defensive end Cameron Wake (knee) remained out of practice on Thursday for the second straight day. Wake sat out last weekend and appears to be on track to missing his second straight game. That would be bad news for the team's pass rush as they look to slow down Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky.

Tre'Davious White Practicing Thursday

Buffalo Bills top cornerback Tre'Davious White (ankle) has returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. White is on track to play in Week 6 against the Texans, where he would be tasked with slowing down elite wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins.

Caleb Sturgis Injured, Bolts Sign Mike Badgley

With Los Angeles Chargers kicker Caleb Sturgis (quadriceps) dealing with a strained quadriceps, the team is signing free-agent kicker Mike Badgley, according to league sources. Sturgis will remain on the roster, but it looks like he'll miss Week 6 against the Browns. You'll need to go in another direction this week if you've been rolling […]

Jaguars Sign Bo Scarbrough

The Jacksonville Jaguars signed free-agent running back Bo Scarbrough to their practice squad on Thursday and released fullback Dimitri Flowers in a corresponding move. With Leonard Fournette (hamstring) potentially missing several more games, the Jags are building their running back depth up. They also added Jamaal Charles and David Williams to the active roster earlier […]

Isaiah Crowell Missing Practice Again

New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell (ankle) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Crowell is now seriously questionable to play in Week 6 against the Colts after running all over the Broncos last Sunday for 219 yards on the ground. He'll need to at least get in a limited practice on […]

Corey Clement Expected To Lead Backfield On Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement is expected to lead the backfield on Thursday against the Giants with Jay Ajayi (knee) now out for the season. Wendell Smallwood and Josh Adams will also have roles, though. Clement is a physical runner and has improved as a pass catcher and also has return skills on special […]

Devonta Freeman Not Dealing With Long-Term Injury

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (foot) is not believed to be dealing with a long-term injury with his foot after missing three games due to a knee injury suffered in Week 1, according to a source. It doesn't mean he won't sit out in Week 6 against the Buccaneers, but the team doesn't fear […]

Marcus Peters Says He's 100 Percent

Los Angeles Rams cornerback Marcus Peters (calf) suffered a calf injury in Week 3 but didn't miss any games, although he has been beat for big plays in Week 4 and Week 5. Despite that, Peters says he's healthy. "What makes you ask that?" Peters replied to reporters, via the Rams' official website. "No, I […]

T.J. Yeldon The Guy In Week 6

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said running back T.J. Yeldon will be the main running back in Week 6 against the Cowboys with Leonard Fournette (hamstring) missing another game. Recently-signed running backs Jamaal Charles and David Williams will strictly be backups. "T.J. will be a guy that will carry the load for us," Marrone […]

Aaron Rodgers, Randall Cobb, Geronimo Allison In Rehab Group

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) and wide receivers Randall Cobb (hamstring) and Geronimo Allison (concussion, hamstring) are all working with the rehab group on Thursday. Allison is out of the concussion protocol. The one thing we do know is that Rodgers should be fine to play. He'll remain a high-end QB1 in a […]

Lane Johnson Questionable For Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson (ankle) was added to the injury report on Thursday morning with a high ankle sprain and is listed as questionable for Thursday night against the Giants. Johnson will test his ankle before the game, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Halapoulivaati Vaitai would be the next man up on […]

Demaryius Thomas A Trade Candidate

If the Denver Broncos season continues to spiral downward, wide receiver Demaryius Thomas could be a trade candidate before the Oct. 30 deadline. Thomas is scheduled to make $14 million in 2019, but a contending team desperate for a pass catcher could be willing to take that on. The Tennessee Titans or Dallas Cowboys could […]

Rangers Interested In Pat Murphy For Managerial Opening

The Texas Rangers have expressed preliminary interest in Milwaukee Brewers bench coach Pat Murphy for their managerial opening, according to sources. However, no interview has been scheduled yet with the Brewers still in the postseason. Murphy has minor league managerial experience and was the interim manager for the Padres a few years ago. He was […]

Russell Wilson, Doug Baldwin, David Moore Practice In Full

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson (hamstring) and wide receivers Doug Baldwin (knee) and David Moore (rib) all practiced in full on Wednesday. They will all play in Week 6 against the Raiders in a solid matchup. However, Seattle has passed the ball fewer than any team in the NFL in the last three weeks, which […]

Nick Vannett Misses Practice Wednesday

Seattle Seahawks tight end Nick Vannett (back) did not practice on Wednesday. This is a new injury for Vannett and one that could cause him to sit out in Week 6 against the Raiders. He had three catches on four targets for 43 yards in Week 5 and should remain as the main pass-catching tight […]

Jhoulys Chacin On Track To Start Game 1 Of NLCS

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jhoulys Chacin will throw a bullpen session on Wednesday and is on his normal schedule to start in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series against the Dodgers on Friday. Chacin was the team's most effective starter all year, and he held the Rockies scoreless through five innings with three […]

Marshawn Lynch Limited Ahead Of Week 6

Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch (hip) was limited in practice on Wednesday. It always seems to be something for Lynch, but he should have no issues suiting up in Week 6 against the Seahawks. After opening up the year with touchdowns in the first three games, he has now gone two games in a […]

T.J. Watt Emerging As IDP Beast

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt, the younger brother of Texans All-Pro pass rusher J.J. Watt, had three sacks in Week 5 against the Falcons and continues to impress in his second season. The younger Watt is now tied with Bengals defensive tackle Geno Watkins for the NFL lead with six sacks on the year. He […]

Devonta Freeman's Week 6 Status In Doubt

Updating a previous report, Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (foot) is dealing with a bone contusion, according to a source. He missed practice on Wednesday and his status for Week 6 against the Buccaneers is in doubt. The good news is that he was able to do some work off to the side, but […]

Sammy Watkins, Chris Conley Practice In Full

Kansas City Chiefs wide receivers Sammy Watkins (hamstring) and Chris Conley (toe) both practiced in full on Wednesday, alongside linebacker Dee Ford (groin, hand). Watkins has been pretty heavily involved, securing at least seven targets in three of his last four games, with the outlier being the game in which he was injured against Denver. […]

Eric Berry, Justin Houston Sit Out Wednesday

Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) and linebacker Justin Houston (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. Berry has yet to practice or play in the regular season, and at this point you have to wonder if he'll ever make it back this year. Houston is looking at a multi-week absence. It all adds up […]
