Sixto Sanchez Won't Play In AFL

Philadelphia Phillies pitching prospect Sixto Sanchez (elbow) will not play in the Arizona Fall League after suffering a setback in his recovery from an elbow injury that first sidelined him in June, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. Sanchez was in the Florida instructional league when he came down with soreness in […]

Corey Clement Practicing Again Tuesday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement (quadriceps) is practicing for a second straight day on Tuesday, which is a good sign for his status on Thursday against the Giants. Clement has missed the last two weeks, but the Eagles surely need him back with Jay Ajayi (knee) now out for the rest of the year. […]

Deshaun Watson Day-To-Day With Chest Injury

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson (chest) is listed as day-to-day with a chest injury he suffered in the win on Sunday night against the Cowboys. Watson took some really hard hits during several scrambles on Sunday night, and he was being evaluated on the sidelines by trainers a few times. It's likely that Watson will […]

Bills Sign Derek Anderson

The Buffalo Bills signed free-agent quarterback Derek Anderson on Tuesday and released safety Dean Marlowe in a corresponding move. It's unknown if Anderson will replace Nathan Peterman as the No. 2 behind rookie Josh Allen, but Anderson surely will be a fine veteran mentor for the up-and-coming young gunslinger.

Olivier Vernon Very Optimistic About Week 6 Status

New York Giants defensive end Olivier Vernon (ankle) is "very optimistic" that he'll make his season debut in Week 6 against the Eagles on Thursday Night Football after getting in a limited practice session on Monday. New York is tied with Oakland with a league-low six sacks through five games, so they desperately need their […]

Evan Engram To Practice In Full Tuesday

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said tight end Evan Engram (knee) "is gonna be out here full speed today." The team remains hopeful that Engram can return from his MCL sprain this Thursday against the Eagles. It'd be a bit of a surprise if Engram returned on a short week, but if he […]

Jordan Howard Not Frustrated With His Role

Chicago Bears running back Jordan Howard wasn't angry about his role or lack thereof when he ran just 11 times for 25 yards in the blowout win over the Buccaneers in Week 4. It was the third straight game that he averaged 2.5 yards per carry or less this year, and Tarik Cohen had 13 […]

Greg Zuerlein Day-To-Day

Los Angeles Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein (groin) will start the week listed as day-to-day, according to head coach Sean McVay. “As far as if he’s going to be able to go this week or not, probably will be able to have a little bit more clear answer for you probably on Wednesday or Thursday,” McVay […]

Brandin Cooks, Cooper Kupp Could Play In Week 6

Los Angeles Rams wide receivers Brandin Cooks (concussion) and Cooper Kupp (concussion), who both suffered concussions in Week 5, both have a chance to play in Week 6 against the Broncos. They will both begin the week in the concussion protocol, but head coach Sean McVay said both receivers are feeling better. “They felt good […]

Jaguars Working Out Jamaal Charles, Charcandrick West

With Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) expected to miss his fourth game of the year in Week 6 and with Corey Grant (foot) out for the season, the team is bringing in free-agent running backs Jamaal Charles and Charcandrick West for workouts on Tuesday, according to a source informed of the visits. T.J. […]

Vernon Davis Injures Hamstring Monday Night

Washington Redskins tight end Vernon Davis (hamstring) apparently suffered a hamstring injury in Monday night's loss to the Saints. Davis caught just two of three targets for 15 yards in the blowout loss, but he could be looking at missed time depending on the severity of his injury. On the season, he has only six […]

Adrian Peterson Dislocates Shoulder

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson (shoulder) will receive an MRI exam on Tuesday after he dislocated his shoulder in the Monday night loss to the Saints. He told reporters he dislocated his shoulder near the end of the first half after running just four times for six yards. “I just popped it back in […]

Chris Thompson Injured Late Monday Night

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (rib) was injured in the fourth quarter on Monday night against the Saints and is questionable to return. Thompson was blasted on a pass near the goal line and stayed down for a while. He had eight carries for 17 yards and six catches on eight targets for 45 […]

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 […]
