Greg Olsen Getting Work In Thursday

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (foot) was getting some work in at practice for the second straight day on Thursday less than four weeks after he re-fractured his foot in the season opener. Olsen was seen running routes and catching passes on Thursday, a great sign that he could return to the team very […]

DeVante Parker Dressed For Practice

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (quadriceps) is dressed for practice for the second straight day on Thursday. It looks like Parker will be able to return in Week 5 against the Bengals after he was inactive in the blowout loss to the Patriots. Parker had only two catches on three targets for 40 yards […]

Broncos Want To Get Royce Freeman More Touches

Denver Broncos head coach Vance Joseph said he wants to get rookie running back Royce Freeman more touches moving forward.

Freeman is averaging a healthy 5.0 yards per carry on 44 attempts through four games, and he also has touchdowns in each of […]

Will Fuller Expects To Play This Weekend

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller (hamstring) said his hamstring is feeling better and that he expects to play in Week 5 against the Cowboys on Sunday night if he continues on this track. The injuries just never seem to go away for Fuller, but it looks like he won't have to miss a game […]

Carson Wentz's Knee Injury Is Behind Him

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz said his knee injury is completely behind him after starting two games after returning from his serious knee injury from last season. "And physically, I feel great. I feel I'm picking up [where I left off] on the field last year. To me, the knee thing is behind me, and […]

Devonta Freeman Feels Great

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (knee) said he's comfortable to return in Week 5 against the Steelers after missing the last three games with a right knee contusion.

No Practice For Giovani Bernard, John Ross

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard (knee) and wide receiver John Ross (groin) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday.

Joe Mixon Puts In Another Day Of Practice

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (knee) put in his second straight day of practice on Thursday, suggesting that he will indeed suit up in Week 5 against the Dolphins.

Jarvis Landry, Antonio Callaway Back At Practice

Cleveland Browns wide receivers Jarvis Landry (knee) and rookie Antonio Callaway (knee) both returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. It puts both players in line to play in a tough matchup in Week 5 against the Ravens. Landry is the unquestioned No. 1 wideout on this team and is a must-start […]

Randall Cobb, Geronimo Allison Missing Practice Again

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Randall Cobb (hamstring) and Geronimo Allison (concussion) are both out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Cobb is working with the rehab group, while Allison remains in the concussion protocol. Both players are starting to look doubtful for Week 5 against the Lions unless they can return […]

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.

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.

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.

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 […]

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Amari Cooper (foot) and rookie left tackle Kolton Miller (knee) were both limited in practice on Wednesday.

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.
