Ndamukong Suh Expected To Play Against Packers

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh (knee) is expected to play in Week 8 against the Packers despite not practicing on Wednesday. The Rams are likely just limiting Suh's practice repetitions as we approach the halfway point of the season. Suh remains a beast on the interior and […]

Giovani Bernard Ruled Out Against Buccaneers

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard (knee) has been ruled out for Week 8 against the Buccaneers. It will be his fourth straight missed game after spraining his MCL. Bernard has a good chance to return in Week 10 after the team's bye, however, and he'll return to a change-of-pace role behind Joe Mixon. Bernard […]

Golden Tate Should Be Fine For Week 8

Detroit Lions wide receiver Golden Tate (ankle) put in a full practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. There doesn't seem to be any questions about whether Tate will suit up against the Seahawks. Running back Ameer Abdullah (ankle) was also a full participant on Thursday. Tate has had two straight subpar games after […]

Darren Sproles Ruled Out For London Game

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles (hamstring) is not traveling with the team to London and has been ruled out for Week 8 against the Jaguars. There remains no timetable for Sproles, who hasn't played or practiced since injuring himself in the season opener. With Jay Ajayi also done for the year, the Eagles have […]

Ryan Grant Misses Practice Again

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Ryan Grant (ankle) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday. Grant looks doubtful to play in Week 8 against the Raiders after missing Week 7. He has 26 catches on 37 targets for 270 yards and one score on the season, but he's not much of a fantasy option […]

Adam Vinatieri Testing Groin In Practice

Indianapolis Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri (groin) tested his groin at practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. However, it doesn't necessarily mean he'll be active in Week 8 against the Raiders. The veteran needs just five points to tie the all-time scoring record. Vinatieri aggravated his groin injury in Week 7 against the Bills […]

Redskins Hopeful Paul Richardson Will Play

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said the team is "hopeful" that wide receiver Paul Richardson (knee, shoulder) will play in Week 8 against the Giants after sitting out in Week 7. With Jamison Crowder unlikely to play again this Sunday, Richardson has a chance to be the No. 1 wideout for quarterback Alex Smith. […]

No Doubt About Cam Newton's Status For Week 8

Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said "there is no doubt" that quarterback Cam Newton (shoulder) will play in Week 8 against the Ravens. Newton didn't throw in the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday, but he remained limited. Baltimore is one of the better defenses in the NFL and allow the […]

Blue Jays To Name Charlie Montoyo As Manager

The Toronto Blue Jays are set to name Tampa Bay Rays bench coach Charlie Montoyo as their next manager, according to a source. The 53-year-old will take over a Blue Jays team that has some impressive young talent in the farm system, namely baseball's top prospect in Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Toronto fired John Gibbons after […]

Chris Ivory, Derek Anderson Limited In Practice

Buffalo Bills running back Chris Ivory (hamstring) and quarterback Derek Anderson (back, calf) were both limited in practice on Thursday. With LeSean McCoy looking likely to clear the concussion protocol and play on Monday night against the Patriots, Ivory won't be much of a fantasy option. Anderson was horrible in his first start for the […]

Larry Fitzgerald Returns To Practice Thursday

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald (hamstring) returned to practice on Thursday after being rested on Wednesday. The veteran wideout is unlikely to practice much on Wednesdays as the team looks to keep him fresh. Fitzgerald has had back-to-back games with eight targets and scored his first touchdown of the season in Week 7. However, […]

Franklyn Kilome Has Tommy John Surgery

New York Mets pitching prospect Franklyn Kilome (elbow), the team's No. 5 prospect, underwent Tommy John surgery and will miss the entire 2019 season. Kilome was acquired from the Phillies in the trade involving infielder Asdrubal Cabrera. The 23-year-old right-hander had gone 4-9 with a 4.18 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 8.0 K/9 in 26 starts […]

Bilal Powell Expected To Make Full Recovery

New York Jets running back Bilal Powell (neck) is expected to make a full recovery and play again, according to head coach Todd Bowles. Powell is undergoing season-ending neck surgery after getting hurt in Week 7. Whether he plays again for the Jets is another question, as Powell will be a free agent after this […]

Robby Anderson In Danger Of Missing Week 8

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson (ankle) is missing practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Anderson must get in a practice on Friday to have any chance of playing in Week 8 against the Bears. With Quincy Enunwa (ankle) also out and Terrelle Pryor no longer on the team, New York's wide […]

Quincy Enunwa Ruled Out For Week 8

New York Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa (ankle) has yet to practice this week and has been ruled out for Week 8 against the Bears. Enunwa suffered a high ankle sprain on Oct. 14 against the Colts and could miss another game or two. While most fantasy owners have probably dropped him at this point, […]

Royce Freeman Missing From Practice Again

Denver Broncos rookie running back Royce Freeman (ankle) is out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Freeman is dealing with a high ankle sprain and could be in danger of missing multiple games after getting hurt last Thursday. Plan to be without him this Sunday against the Chiefs. With Freeman unlikely to […]

Twins Choose Rocco Baldelli To Be Next Manager

The Minnesota Twins will name Tampa Bay Rays first base coach and field coordinator Rocco Baldelli as their next manager. The 37-year-old Baldelli will become the youngest manager in baseball. He's been with the Rays in a coaching capacity the last four years after playing six of his seven years with them as an outfielder. […]

Khalil Mack Affected By Ankle Injury

Chicago Bears defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said defensive end Khalil Mack (ankle) has been affected by his ankle injury the last few weeks and is "obviously not 100 percent." After recording five sacks in the first four games, Mack has suddenly disappeared and has just three tackles and no sacks in the last two weeks […]

Theo Riddick Still Sidelined At Practice

Detroit Lions running back Theo Riddick (knee) remained out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Riddick does not look like he will be active in Week 8 against the Seahawks coming off the team's bye. It'll be his second straight missed game if that's the case. It's great news for rookie Kerryon […]

Giovani Bernard Not Seen At Practice

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard (knee) was not seen at all on the practice field on Thursday. Bernard has yet to resume practicing since spraining his MCL on Sept. 30, and he looks likely to miss another game in Week 8. Once he returns, he'll be Joe Mixon's change-of-pace back and could have RB3/flex […]

Torrey Smith Out Again Thursday

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Torrey Smith (knee) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. It's not a good sign for his chances of playing in Week 8 against the Ravens. The veteran wideout hasn't gone over five catches or 61 yards in a single game this year and remains an unattractive all-or-nothing fantasy […]

Kenny Stills Could Be Back In Week 9

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills (groin) has already been ruled out for Thursday night against the Texans, but his injury isn't a long-term one and he could have a shot at playing in Week 9 against the Jets. Stills got off to a great start in the season opener, going for four catches, 106 […]

Peyton Barber Returns To Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber (ankle) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. It's a good sign that he will be able to play in Week 8 against the Bengals. Barber is still looking for his first touchdown of the year and is averaging a mediocre 3.5 yards per carry […]

Robert Turbin Hoping To Return After Bye

Indianapolis Colts running back Robert Turbin (shoulder), who suffered a dislocated shoulder two weeks ago, is hoping to return after the team's Week 9 bye. When healthy, Turbin is fourth on the running back depth chart behind Marlon Mack, Nyheim Hines and Jordan Wilkins, so he can remain on the waiver wire in fantasy leagues.

Marlon Mack Not Practicing Thursday

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (ankle) is not practicing on Thursday after getting in a limited session on Wednesday. It's unclear if Mack suffered a setback or not, so his Friday practice participation will be key. If he's unable to go, rookies Nyheim Hines and Jordan Wilkins would split the workload in an excellent […]

Randall Cobb, Geronimo Allison Expected To Play Against Rams

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said he feels good about both wide receivers Randall Cobb (hamstring) and Geronimo Allison (hamstring) playing in Week 8 against the Rams. Both players returned to practice on Wednesday after the bye week. Both Cobb and Allison were close to playing before the Week 7 bye, so it's […]

LeSean McCoy Still In Concussion Protocol

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol, but he was able to get in a limited practice on Thursday. It's an encouraging sign that he'll be able to play on Monday against the Patriots. He has had at least 100 total yards from scrimmage in each of his last […]

Sony Michel Still Absent At Practice

New England Patriots rookie running back Sony Michel (knee) remained sidelined at practice on Thursday. Dealing with a sprained MCL, Michel is fully expected to sit out for the game on Monday night against the Bills, and he might be hard-pressed to return next week as well. He needs to be stashed in all formats, […]

Rob Gronkowski Back At Practice Thursday

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (back) was back at practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Gronk's back spasms that kept him out of Week 7 were never believed to be a long-term issue, so he should be fine to play against the Bills on Monday with an extra day of rest. […]

Everson Griffen's Status Up In The Air

Minnesota Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen returned to practice on Wednesday after missing five games to address a mental-health issue, and it's too early to tell if he will play in Week 8 against the Saints. "We’re just going to see how he comes back," Zimmer said of whether Griffen will play Sunday. "Really, that’s […]
