Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that outfielder Matt Kemp will serve as the designated hitter in Game 1 of the World Series against Red Sox left-hander Chris Sale on Tuesday.

Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson, who has demanded a trade before the Oct. 30 deadline, would prefer to go to the Saints. Peterson played his college ball at Louisiana State University.

The Dallas Cowboys released wide receiver Brice Butler on Monday in order to make room on the roster after they acquired Amari Cooper from the Raiders for a first-round pick.

Boston Red Sox pitcher Steven Wright (knee) is expected to be added to the team's World Series roster on Tuesday morning. He will replace either Heath Hembree or Brandon Workman in the bullpen.

Cody Kessler To See First-Team Practice Reps

While Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles will start in Week 8 in London against the Eagles after being benched in Week 7, backup Cody Kessler will receive practice repetitions with the first-team offense, according to a source.

Derek Anderson Named Starter For Week 8

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott announced that quarterback Derek Anderson will start in Week 8 against the Patriots on Monday night with rookie Josh Allen (elbow) set to miss another week.

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Daesean Hamilton (knee) is dealing with an MCL sprain after being injured in the Week 7 game against the Cardinals last Thursday. Hamilton has been serving as a punt returner and No. 4 wideout behind Demaryius Thomas, Emmanuel Sanders and rookie Courtland Sutton, so he doesn't have any immediate fantasy […]

Danny Amendola, Mike Gesicki Limited Monday

In an estimation of the injury report, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola (shoulder) and rookie tight end Mike Gesicki (shoulder) would've both been limited in practice on Monday. Both should be fine to play this Thursday against the Texans. With Albert Wilson (hip) and Kenny Stills (groin) both out, Amendola and Gesicki could see […]

Kenny Stills Ruled Out For Week 8

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills (groin) has been ruled out for Week 8 on Thursday against the Texans and could possibly be out longer.

Sandy Leon To Catch In Game 1

Boston Red Sox catcher Sandy Leon, who served as starter Chris Sale's personal catcher for most of the year, will start behind the plate in Game 1 of the World Series on Tuesday. Leon is the much weaker bat than Christian Vazquez, as he hit just .177/.232/.279 with five home runs and 22 RBI in […]

Clayton Kershaw To Start Game 1 Of World Series

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw will start Game 1 of the World Series against the Red Sox on Tuesday.

Raiders Ship Amari Cooper To Dallas, Land First-Rounder

The Oakland Raiders sent wide receiver Amari Cooper to the Dallas Cowboys on Monday in exchange for a first-round pick, according to a source.

Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks said the team won't be trading cornerback Patrick Peterson. “We’re not trading Patrick. That’s out of the question," Wilks said.

Sony Michel Considered Week-To-Week

Updating a previous report, New England Patriots rookie running back Sony Michel's (knee) MRI exam showed no structural damage, and he will be considered week-to-week, according to a source. Michel will almost certainly miss next Monday's game against the Bills and possibly another game, but it's the best-case scenario for his injury. Hang onto him […]

Amari Cooper Will Be Traded To Cowboys

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Amari Cooper will be traded to the Dallas Cowboys, according to a source. Cooper is coming off a concussion in Week 6 in London, but apparently he's fine.

Kwon Alexander Out For The Season

Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Kwon Alexander's (knee) MRI exam confirmed a torn ACL, according to a source. It will keep him sidelined for the rest of the season.

Patrick Peterson Asks For Trade

Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson has asked the team to trade him before the Oct. 30 deadline, according to league sources.

Arizona's […]

Josh Rosen Misses Practice Monday

Arizona Cardinals rookie quarterback Josh Rosen (toe) wasn't practicing in the period open to the media on Monday.

Albert Wilson To Visit With Specialist

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson (hip) will visit with a hip specialist to get a timeline on his injured labrum that was deemed significant, according to a source.

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (back) dealt with painful back spasms last Friday, which ultimately kept him out of Week 7 against the Bears.

Heading into his MRI exam on Monday, the initial diagnosis is that New England Patriots running back Sony Michel (knee) is dealing with an MCL sprain, according to sources.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills (groin) suffered a groin strain in the fourth quarter of the Week 7 loss to the Lions and will undergo an MRI exam on Monday. There's no word on his availability for Thursday against the Texans, but it seems unlikely that he'd be able to play with such a […]
