Jaire Alexander Could Return In Week 6

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said first-round cornerback Jaire Alexander (groin) could return in Week 6 against the 49ers after sitting out in Week 5. Alexander has been one of the team's best defensive backs so far this year, so getting him back next weekend would be huge in a very winnable game […]

Packers Sticking With Mason Crosby

The Green Bay Packers don't appear to be exploring other kicking options after kicker Mason Crosby missed four field goals and an extra point in the Week 5 loss to the Lions. "He's got to make those kicks. He's a proven highly successful kicker, and I believe in him but he's got to make those […]

Aaron Jones Hindered By Committee Backfield

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones has a lot of potential, but his workload remains limited while sharing touches with Jamaal Williams and Ty Montgomery. "He's dynamic with the ball in his hands. But there's more to the position than just running the football. We have diversity in our attack with three guys. All […]

Clayton Kershaw Lined Up For Potential Game 5

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw will start a Game 5 (if necessary) of the National League Division Series against the Braves on Wednesday, according to manager Dave Roberts. This was the plan all along, but the Braves will have to force a deciding Game 5 by winning again on Monday first. Kershaw has […]

Sean Lee Unlikely To Return In Week 6

Dallas Cowboys vice president Stephen Jones said linebacker Sean Lee (hamstring) is making progress, but it's a stretch to think he'll be ready in Week 6 against the Jaguars. Lee is a tackling machine when he's healthy, but the problem is he's usually dealing with some sort of injury. Jaylon Smith and rookie first-rounder Leighton […]

Rashard Higgins To Miss At Least Two Weeks

Updating a previous report, Cleveland Browns wide receiver Rashard Higgins (knee) will be re-evaluated in two weeks to see how his sprained MCL is doing. MCL sprains are usually two- to four-week injuries, so there's no guarantee that he'll be ready after missing just two games. With Cleveland looking to limit rookie Antonio Callaway's snaps, […]

Kayvon Webster Week-To-Week

Houston Texans cornerback Kayvon Webster (quadriceps) suffered a strained quadriceps on Sunday night against the Cowboys and is considered week-to-week, according to a source. Houston's secondary continues to be banged up, so it's a weakness for opposing passing games to exploit moving forward. Luckily for Houston, they'll face the lowly Bills and their non-existent passing […]

Taylor Lewan Undergoing Tests On Foot

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said left tackle Taylor Lewan (foot) is meeting with doctors and undergoing tests on his foot on Monday. Lewan was injured in the Week 5 loss to the Bills. He's dealt with a concussion already this year, too. Any missed time for Lewan would be bad news for quarterback […]

Ozzie Albies Hitting Second Against Rich Hill

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies is hitting second in Game 4 of the National League Division Series on Monday against Dodgers left-hander Rich Hill. Third baseman Johan Camargo, who is hitless in the series, is being moved to fifth in the order. The switch-hitting Albies hit much better against lefties (.335, eight homers, 20 […]

Josh Wells Week-To-Week

Jacksonville Jaguars backup left tackle Josh Wells (groin) is week-to-week, according to head coach Doug Marrone. Josh Walker won't necessarily become the starter in Wells' place in Week 6 against the Cowboys. Wells had been filling in for starter Cam Robinson, so the Jags are now down to their third left tackle. That could present […]

Corey Grant Headed To Injured Reserve

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Corey Grant (foot), who suffered a season-ending Lisfranc foot injury in Week 5, is headed to Injured Reserve, according to sources. Grant should be 100 percent healthy in time for free agency next March. If he needs surgery, Dr. Robert Anderson would likely perform the procedure. Grant will finish the year […]

Austin Seferian-Jenkins Going On IR

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins (abdomen) will go on Injured Reserve but will be eligible to return this year. Seferian-Jenkins aggravated his core muscle injury in Week 5 against the Chiefs and missed his only target. He has just 11 catches on 19 targets for 90 yards and a […]

Dolphins Shopping DeVante Parker

The Miami Dolphins have talked to several teams about trading injury-plagued wide receiver Devante Parker. Parker hasn't just been injured in his time with Miami, but he's been a bust and a disappointment with his play. Parker got off to a late start to this season due to a finger injury and hasn't played the […]

Lamar Miller To Return In Week 6

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said that running back Lamar Miller (chest) will return in Week 6 against the Bills. Miller was active on Sunday night against the Cowboys, but he didn't play a single snap. He hasn't been really effective in four games this year and will merely be a low-end RB2 option […]

Miguel Sano Won't Face Charges

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano will not face criminal charges for his involvement in an accident in the Dominican Republic on Sunday after he hit a police officer and broke his leg. Sano was speaking to an officer after leaving a club and backed his pickup truck up without realizing that the officer hadn't […]

Mike Foltynewicz To Start Game 4 Of NLDS

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Mike Foltynewicz will start Game 4 of the National League Division Series against the Dodgers on short rest on Monday. Folty allowed four earned runs (two homers) in just two innings in the Game 1 loss in Los Angeles last Thursday. Atlanta is hoping he can give them more length in […]

Brian McCann, Tony Kemp In Lineup For Game 3

Houston Astros catcher Brian McCann is doing the catching and hitting eighth in Game 3 of the American League Division Series against Indians starter Mike Clevinger. Outfielder Tony Kemp is serving as the designated hitter and batting ninth. Catcher Martin Maldonado and first baseman Tyler White will start on the bench. McCann is hitless in […]

Patriots In Contact With Mike Gillislee

The New England Patriots have been in contact with free-agent running back Mike Gillislee, who was released by the Saints on Saturday. Gillislee spent last year with New England, and the Patriots could use more running back depth with Rex Burkhead and Jeremy Hill done for the season. Rookie Sony Michel and James White are […]

Marlon Mack, Anthony Castonzo Practicing Monday

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (hamstring) and left tackle Anthony Castonzo (hamstring) continue to practice on Monday. It's a good sign for both, but we'll have to see what the rest of their practice participation is this week, starting on Wednesday. Castonzo made his season debut last Thursday against the Patriots, so he should […]

O.J. Howard Won't Practice Monday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard (knee) is wearing a heavy brace on his left knee and will not practice on Monday. He's walking on it with no noticeable limp, however. Howard is expected to miss two to four weeks with his sprained MCL. In the meantime, Cameron Brate will be the main pass-catching […]

Matt Breida Has Mid To High Ankle Sprain

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) suffered a mid to high ankle sprain in Week 5 against the Cardinals and will undergo an MRI exam on Monday, according to a source. He might not play next week with the team wanting to give him some time to rest so that it won't bother […]

Ryan Kalil Injured, Thomas Davis Returns

Carolina Panthers center Ryan Kalil (shoulder) suffered a shoulder injury in the Week 5 win over the Giants, but there has been no further update from head coach Ron Rivera. Also, linebacker Thomas Davis is returning from his suspension in time for Week 6 against the Redskins. The Panthers have dealt with enough injuries to […]

Panthers Hope To Have Greg Olsen In Week 6

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (foot) has a chance to play in Week 6 against the Redskins, according to head coach Ron Rivera, who said "hopefully he'll be ready to roll on Wednesday." Olsen broke his right foot in the season opener and was expected to miss four to five weeks. His foot fracture […]

Riley Reiff Suffers Foot Injury

Minnesota Vikings left tackle Riley Reiff (foot) suffered a foot injury in the Week 5 win over the Eagles. He also suffered a foot injury against the Bills a few weeks ago, and he played through it last week against the Rams on a short week. Minnesota's offense line is beat up and can't afford […]

X-Rays Negative For Matt Breida

X-rays turned up negative on San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) after he had to be helped off the field in the Week 5 loss to the Cardinals, according to a source. He is being listed with an ankle sprain. Breida could miss time, but it's not the worst-case scenario. If Breida is […]

Lamar Miller Not Likely To Play

Despite being active for Week 5 Sunday night against the Cowboys, Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller (chest) is "not likely to play," according to a source. Instead, Alfred Blue will get the start and serve as the lead back, making him an RB3/flex choice for those that have him handcuffed to Miller. With Miller […]

Alvin Kamara, Cameron Meredith Off Injury Report

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (knee) and wide receiver Cameron Meredith (knee) were both limited in practice all week but were taken off the final injury report for Week 5 on Monday night against the Redskins. Both will play in the game. Despite Mark Ingram returning from his four-game suspension, Kamara remains an […]

Will Fuller, Lamar Miller, Keke Coutee Active Sunday Night

Houston Texans wide receivers Will Fuller (hamstring) and Keke Coutee (hamstring) and running back Lamar Miller (chest) are all active in Week 5 against the Cowboys on Sunday night after being questionable to play. Fuller has scored in all three games he's played in this year and is a favorite target of quarterback Deshaun Watson. […]

Corey Grant Likely Done For The Season

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Corey Grant (foot) likely suffered a Lisfranc injury in Week 5 against the Chiefs that is expected to sideline him for the rest of the year, according to sources. Leonard Fournette was out this weekend and isn't guaranteed to return in Week 6, so Jacksonville is now incredibly thin in the […]

Kerryon Johnson Says He's Fine

Detroit Lions rookie running back Kerryon Johnson (ankle) said "I'm fine" after the Week 5 win over the Packers when he suffered an ankle injury. "If I can walk, run, if I'm standing, I always want to go back in, so that's what I'm going to do," Johnson said. The rookie finished with 70 yards […]
