Falcons Hope Devonta Freeman Will Return This Week

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said the team is hoping that running back Devonta Freeman (knee) can return in Week 5 against the Steelers. Freeman has been out since the season opener against the Eagles on Sept. 6. If he returns this Sunday, expect him to share more touches with Tevin Coleman in the […]

Jaguars Unsure When Leonard Fournette Will Return

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said he doesn't know how long running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) will miss after aggravating his injury in Week 4. Fournette missed two games before, and he figures to miss at least that much this time around. Fournette is turning into an early-round bust so far for fantasy owners, […]

Jonathan Stewart Out Eight Weeks

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said that running back Jonathan Stewart (foot) is dealing with an eight-week injury. There remains "potential to bring him back" from Injured Reserve this year. J-Stew was really only a handcuff option for Saquon Barkley owners, but he wasn't much of one to begin with. Wayne Gallman is […]

Ed Dickson On Track To Return Soon

With Seattle Seahawks rookie tight end Will Dissly (knee) expected to be out for the rest of the year, head coach Pete Carroll said that the team could look to add a tight end off the practice squad. Ed Dickson (quadriceps) is on track to return from the Non-Football Injury list after Week 6 when […]

Chris Carson Expected To Play In Week 5

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that running back Chris Carson (hip) will return in Week 5 against the Rams, but Carson's return won't come at the expense of Mike Davis. Carson was a surprise inactive in Week 4. “He’s (Davis is) going to fit in somewhere. He needs to play. He needs to […]

Aaron Colvin's Season In Jeopardy

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said cornerback Aaron Colvin (ankle) could play again this year, but the team is unsure of that at this time. Colvin has just 18 tackles through four games, but his injury is a tough blow to an already thin secondary moving forward. While Houston's defensive line remains top notch, […]

Lamar Miller Banged Up

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said running back Lamar Miller is "a little banged up, but I think he's going to be OK." Miller has been extremely mediocre through four games, running 58 times for 225 yards (3.9 yards per carry) and no touchdowns on the ground. He has just eight receptions for 54 […]

Will Fuller's Removal Wasn't Precautionary

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said wide receiver Will Fuller's (hamstring) removal in Week 4 wasn't precautionary. The team will continue to evaluate Fuller throughout the week. Fuller had four catches on five targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in the overtime win over the Colts. He has scored in all three games […]

Adrian Peterson, Josh Norman, Trent Williams Miss Practice

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson (ankle), cornerback Josh Norman and left tackle Trent Williams (knee) did not practice on Monday. All three players should be good to following a bye week and with the team not playing until next Monday night in Week 5. Despite being 33 years old, Peterson has averaged 4.2 yards […]

Rob Gronkowski Expected To Be Questionable

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski's (ankle) injury that caused him to leave the game early in Week 4 isn't considered serious, according to a source. However, on a short week against the Colts in Week 5 this Thursday, he's expected to be questionable to play. Gronk provided his owners with four catches on […]

Kenny Vaccaro Out 2-4 Weeks

Tennessee Titans safety Kenny Vaccaro (elbow) will be out two to four weeks after dislocating his elbow in the Week 4 win over the Eagles, according to a source. Vaccaro already has a sack and an interception early in the year. His absence over the next couple of weeks will weaken Tennessee's secondary quite a […]

Jimmy Smith Returns To Team

Baltimore Ravens veteran cornerback Jimmy Smith returned to the team Monday after serving a four-game suspension for violating the league's personal-conduct policy after he threatened and inflicted emotional abuse on his ex-girlfriend. Even without Smith, Baltimore's defense ranks fourth in the NFL against the pass, allowing 193.2 yards per game. The Ravens defense has been […]

Sammy Watkins Questionable To Return Monday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) is questionable to return to the Monday night game against the Broncos with a hamstring injury. Watkins had one target before leaving the game with an injury. So far in this game, Tyreek Hill and running back Kareem Hunt have been the offense against. Hopefully for fantasy […]

Curtis Samuel, Trai Turner Return To Practice

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel (heart) and offensive guard Trai Turner (concussion) both returned to practice on Monday and could return in Week 5 against the Giants. Samuel has yet to play this year, while Turner missed the last two games. Left tackle Matt Kalil (knee), who is on Injured Reserve, was working on […]

Dante Pettis, Joe Staley Don't Have Serious Knee Injuries

The San Francisco 49ers are optimistic that wide receiver Dante Pettis (knee) and offensive tackle Joe Staley (knee) aren't facing long-term knee injuries. Both Pettis and Staley suffered injuries in the first half of the Week 4 loss to the Chargers and didn't return. Both players were expected to undergo MRI exams on Monday, but […]

Dalvin Cook Still Not 100 Percent

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) said he isn't yet "100 percent" with his injury. Cook is preaching patience with his injury and with the team's overall running game. The second-year back suited up last Thursday but didn't do much and didn't even touch the ball in the second half, running only 10 times […]

Julian Edelman Back From Suspension

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman returned Monday from his four-game suspension for violating the league's performance-enhancing drug policy. "You know, he hasn't changed a bit," said quarterback Tom Brady, who is one of Edelman's closest friends. "Four weeks off, he looks good." Edelman is also Brady's favorite target, but head coach Bill Belichick […]

Darius Leonard In Boot Monday

Indianapolis Colts rookie linebacker Darius Leonard (ankle) was wearing a protective boot on his left ankle on Monday. Leonard has been one of the most impressive rookie defenders this year, totaling 38 tackles and four sacks through four weeks. With a short week in Week 5 with a game this Thursday against the Patriots, Leonard's […]

David Irving Returning From Suspension

Dallas Cowboys defensive lineman David Irving has returned from his four-game suspension in advance of Week 5. Irving was suspended four games for violating the league's substance-abuse policy. "We've all got to remember that he hasn't had his hand in the stance for 10 months. He missed the last four games of the year and […]

Vontaze Burfict Returns To Team

Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict is back from his four-game suspension and will be eligible to play in Week 5 against the Dolphins. The oft-suspended linebacker will be a welcomed addition to a Cincinnati defense that hasn't really lived up to expectations thus far after four weeks. Burfict had 48 tackles and 1.5 sacks in […]

Mark Ingram's Suspension Is Over

New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram's four-game suspension came to an end on Monday, and he surprised the team by meeting them at the airport, according to a source. NBC Sports' Peter King reported that Ingram hugged head coach Sean Payton and general manager Mickey Loomis. Ingram was suspended four games for violating the […]

Eric Berry Inactive Monday Night

Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) is inactive on Monday night against the Denver Broncos. The veteran has yet to practice this year and has no timetable for a return to a struggling secondary that could really use his presence. Facing KC's secondary gives Broncos quarterback Case Keenum a little more appeal as a […]

Aaron Rodgers Not Happy With Offense

Despite the Green Bay Packers 22-0 win over the Bills in Week 4, quarterback Aaron Rodgers remains unhappy with the offense as a whole. He also said it took "grit" to be able to practice last week on his injured left knee last Thursday, but he fought through it because he "felt like we needed […]

Joe Mixon Misses Practice Again

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (knee) is working on the rehab field for the second straight day in practice on Thursday. Mixon is getting close to a return, but it doesn't look like that will happen in Week 4 against the Falcons. That'll mean that Giovani Bernard will once again be the workhorse for […]

Marcus Peters Unlikely To Play Thursday

Los Angeles Rams cornerback Marcus Peters (calf), who is listed as questionable for Thursday against the Vikings, is unlikely to play, according to a source. That means the Rams will be without both starting cornerbacks with Aqib Talib (ankle) undergoing ankle surgery on Thursday. It leaves the Rams vulnerable in the secondary with Vikings quarterback […]

Tyrod Taylor Out Of Concussion Protocol

Cleveland Browns quarterback Tyrod Taylor (concussion) returned to practice on Thursday and is out of the concussion protocol. Head coach Hue Jackson said Taylor will be the No. 2 quarterback for Week 4 against the Raiders if he's healthy. Rookie Baker Mayfield has taken over the starting gig after he replaced the concussed Taylor in […]

T.J. Yeldon Expected To Practice Thursday

Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon (ankle) is expected to return to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. With running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) trending in the right direction to make his return in Week 4 against the Jets, Yeldon might not have much value if he's the backup this Sunday. Yeldon has […]

Rishard Matthews Trade Unlikely

The Tennessee Titans are "doubtful" to be able to trade disgruntled wide receiver Rishard Matthews, according to a source. With Matthews voluntarily leaving the team because of his frustration over his role on the offense, the Titans will likely work out a release for the wide receiver. Matthews has just three receptions on six targets […]

Allen Hurns Wants The Ball More

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Allen Hurns thinks he should be targeted more in an offense that ranks 30th in total offense (833 yards), 31st in average passing yards (145) and 31st in points per game average (13.7). "The majority of my snaps, I feel like I can get separation," Hurns said. "It’s just getting to […]

Ezekiel Elliott Doesn't Think He Needs More Touches

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott, who is tied for the NFL lead in rushing with 274 yards, doesn't think the answer to the offense's woes is that he touch the ball more. He's averaging a career-low 16 carries through the first three games. “I mean, I would love to see it more, but I […]
