Jimmy Graham's Injury Not Serious

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said that tight end Jimmy Graham (knee) missing practice on Wednesday was just "maintenance" for his knee and nothing serious. It's the same routine that Graham went through last week, so we should expect him to return to practice on Thursday and play in Week 5 against the […]

Davante Adams To Miss Another Practice

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said that wide receiver Davante Adams (calf) injured himself in practice on Wednesday and he will work with the rehab group on Thursday. That's now two missed practices for Adams, which isn't a good sign for his availability on Sunday against the Lions. His practice status on Friday […]

Rob Gronkowski Expected To Play

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Thursday night against the Colts, is expected to play, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "What I've been told all along here is they want to be cautious with him," NFL Network's Michael Girardi reported Thursday on Good Morning Football. "Obviously, […]

Anibal Sanchez To Start Game 2 Of NLDS

Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker said that starting pitcher Anibal Sanchez will start Game 2 of the National League Division Series against the Dodgers. The veteran Sanchez was a nice surprise and a big part of the team's rotation all year, going 7-6 with a nice 2.83 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 135 strikeouts in 136 […]

Dansby Swanson Hopes To Be Ready For Possible NLCS

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson (hand) said his left hand is improving "slowly, but surely" and hopes to be ready if the team advances to the National League Championship Series. The Braves will feel Swanson's loss both on offense and defense against the Dodgers in the National League Division Series. In his absence, infielder Charlie […]

Tyler Higbee, Greg Zuerlein Miss Practice

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (knee) and kicker Greg Zuerlein (groin) both missed practice on Wednesday. Zuerlein probably will not return in Week 5 against the Seahawks after the team signed Cairo Santos earlier in the week. Zuerlein is improving, though, and he could be ready to return in Week 6. Santos could […]

Mark Barron Expected To Return In Week 5

Los Angeles Rams linebacker Mark Barron (ankle) was limited in practice on Wednesday, and head coach Sean McVay expects Barron to make his season debut in Week 5 against the Seahawks. Barron's return will surely help shore up the team's run defense and defense against tight ends. He will likely be eased back into a […]

Magneuris Sierra To Play Winter Ball

Miami Marlins outfielder Magneuris Sierra has been approved to play winter ball in the Dominican Republic. Sierra, who was acquired from the Cardinals in the Marcell Ozuna trade, struggled in 147 at-bats (54) games in his first real taste of the majors this year. He hit .190/.222/.211 with no homers, seven RBI and three stolen […]

Don Mattingly To Return In 2019

Miami Marlins manager Don Mattingly will be back for the final year of his contract in 2019, but the status of the rest of his coaching staff is unclear. In his three seasons with Miami, Mattingly has gone 219-265 and has yet to have a winning record after finishing 63-98 in 2018. It's unclear if […]

Marlins To Offer J.T. Realmuto An Extension

The Miami Marlins plan to offer a contract extension to catcher J.T. Realmuto at some point in the coming weeks. "It's no secret, I think J.T. knows how we feel about him," Marlins president of baseball operations Michael Hill said. "He had a tremendous season, an All-Star season. It's great to see his talent finally […]

Walker Buehler To Pitch Game 3 Of NLDS

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Walker Buehler will start Game 3 of the National League Division Series against the Braves, according to manager Dave Roberts. Buehler had his best performance in Game 163 to decide the NL West on Monday, holding the strong lineup of the Rockies to just one hit in 6 2/3 innings. Buehler […]

Russell Wilson A Full Participant In Practice

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson (hamstring) practiced in full on Wednesday. Wilson should have no problems playing in Week 5 against the Rams in a tough matchup, although his hamstring injury is worth watching with how much scrambling he does behind a suspect offensive line. With limited options in the passing game (although Doug Baldwin […]

Chris Carson, K.J. Wright, Frank Clark Miss Practice

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (hip), linebacker K.J. Wright (knee) and defensive end Frank Clark (illness) did not practice on Wednesday. Carson is expected to return to practice on Thursday. Carson was a surprise inactive in Week 4, and in his absence Mike Davis posted a 100-yard game. The 24-year-old should be able to […]

Amari Cooper, Kolton Miller Limited In Practice

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Amari Cooper (foot) and rookie left tackle Kolton Miller (knee) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Cooper and Miller should be on track to play in Week 5 against the division-rival Chargers. The 24-year-old wideout has now had two 100-plus yard games and two stinkers in four weeks. He had […]

No Practice For Travis Benjamin Wednesday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Travis Benjamin (foot) missed practice on Wednesday. Benjamin aggravated his foot injury in the win over the 49ers in Week 4 and is expected to miss multiple weeks again. In just two games in 2018, Benjamin has two catches on only six targets for a measly three yards. He's well […]

Jermaine Gresham Limited In Practice

Arizona Cardinals tight end Jermaine Gresham (Achilles) was limited in practice on Wednesday. The Cardinals are likely just resting Gresham ahead of his third game of the season in Week 5 against the 49ers. Through his two games played, the veteran tight end has only one catch on two targets for nine yards. Ricky Seals-Jones […]

Larry Fitzgerald Misses Practice Again Wednesday

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald (back, hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday and is listed as day-to-day, according to head coach Steve Wilks. The Cardinals are just being cautious with their veteran wideout, and we'd expect him to play against the Niners in Week 5. However, with Arizona's offense going in the tank after […]

Greg Bird, CC Sabathia Left Off Wild-Card Roster

New York Yankees first baseman Greg Bird and starting pitcher CC Sabathia were left off the wild-card roster for Wednesday against the A's. Pitcher Sonny Gray was also left off. The Yanks will instead carry three catchers -- Gary Sanchez, Austin Romine and Kyle Higashioka. Sabathia and Tarpley are expected to be added if the […]

Joe Maddon Will Return In 2019

Chicago Cubs president Theo Epstein said that manager Joe Maddon will return in 2019 despite uncertainty stemming from the team's disappointing end to the 2018 season. The Cubs were eliminated 2-1 in 13 innings in the wild-card game on Wednesday against the Rockies. Chicago has been a playoff team in all four years Maddon has […]

Chris Sale Throws Another Bullpen Wednesday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale threw his second bullpen session in as many days on Wednesday in anticipation of his start in Game 1 of the American League Division Series on Friday. "Yesterday, the bullpen was okay, but it was indoors," manager Alex Cora said. "It was more about mechanics and getting loose. […]

Alfred Morris, Jaquiski Tartt Practice In Full

San Francisco 49ers running back Alfred Morris (knee) and safety Jaquiski Tartt (shoulder) were both full participants in practice on Wednesday. Both are lined up to play in Week 5 against the Cardinals. Morris had a terrible game with just four carries for 14 yards in Week 4 against the Chargers. He's had 3.8 yards […]

Matt Breida Limited In Practice Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (knee) was limited in practice on Wednesday. As long as he doesn't suffer a setback this week, Breida should be good to go in Week 5 against the Cardinals in a great matchup. Arizona allows the second most fantasy points per week to running backs. Breida had a […]

Charles Clay Limited In Practice

Buffalo Bills tight end Charles Clay (ankle) was limited in practice on Wednesday. With a terrible offensive line and a rookie quarterback under center, Clay just can't be trusted by fantasy owners in starting lineups. He had his best game of the season in Week 4, catching four passes on six targets for 40 yards. […]

Marcus Mariota, Blaine Gabbert Practice In Full

Tennessee Titans quarterbacks Marcus Mariota (elbow) and Blaine Gabbert (concussion) and running back David Fluellen (groin) all practiced in full on Wednesday. Mariota appears to be past his elbow issues after going 30-for-43 for 344 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in the Week 4 win over the Eagles. He also ran for his first […]

Corey Davis Limited Wednesday

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis (illness) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Davis should be fine to suit up this weekend against the Bills. He's coming off by far his best game of the season in Week 4 when he had nine catches on 15 targets for 161 yards and a touchdown. Davis' fantasy […]

Von Miller Limited Wednesday

Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller (thigh) was limited in practice Wednesday. Miller should be fine to suit up in Week 5 against the Jets. Miller has been surprisingly quiet the last few weeks and has just three tackles and no sacks in that time period. Through four weeks, the 29-year-old has 15 total tackles, four […]

Bucs Work Out Charcandrick West

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers worked out free-agent running back Charcandrick West on Wednesday, according to a source. West had 18 carries for 72 yards and two touchdowns while also adding 27 receptions for 150 yards and two more scores in 2017 with the Chiefs. Tampa's running back situation hasn't looked good through four weeks with […]

Kris Bryant Not Expected To Need Surgery

Chicago Cubs president Theo Epstein said that third baseman Kris Bryant (shoulder) is not expected to need offseason surgery. Bryant's 2018 season was a disaster because of his shoulder injury that he suffered during a slide in June. He was gone for an extended time and wasn't the same in the second half when he […]

Damarious Randall Effective While Playing Injured

Cleveland Browns safety Damarious Randall (heel), who suffered a badly bruised heel on Sept. 16 against the Saints, has been effective while playing hurt. He has only taken part in one practice and was limited since getting hurt. Despite that, he was the highest ranked safety at Pro Football Focus in Week 4 and has […]

Browns Optimistic On Jarvis Landry, Antonio Callaway

Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson said he has "a great level of optimism" that both wide receivers Jarvis Landry (knee) and rookie Antonio Callaway (knee) will be able to play in Week 5 against the Ravens after sitting out of practice on Wednesday. Landry is the team's undisputed top wideout and should remain a […]
