DeVante Parker Unsure Of Week 6 Availability

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (quadriceps) is unsure if he will be active in Week 6 against the Bears. He has missed four of the first five games of the season due to a broken finger and strained quadriceps. However, he's looked good in practice so far this week, and head coach Adam Gase […]

Taylor Lewan Returns To Practice

Tennessee Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan (foot) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Lewan should be able to play in Week 6 against the Ravens. He's one of the NFL's best left tackles, so him being on the field is always good news for quarterback Marcus Mariota.

Devonta Freeman To Take Part In Walkthrough

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said running back Devonta Freeman (foot) will take part in the team's walkthrough practice on Thursday, as his foot remains sore. Freeman is dealing with a bone contusion in his foot, which isn't expected to be a long-term injury. Still, it could keep him out in Week 6 in […]

Seahawks Won't Force Touches To Rashaad Penny

Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer said the team won't force touches to rookie running back Rashaad Penny after he didn't play a single snap on offense in Week 5. “We’re not going to force it,” Schottenheimer said Wednesday. “I mean, this is a long season. This is a season we’re going to need them […]

Leonard Williams Added To Injury Report

New York Jets defensive tackle Leonard Williams (back) was added to the injury report and didn't practice on Thursday. Williams has been effective for the Jets this year with 16 tackles and three sacks through five games. Losing him would be a blow against the Colts this week, especially with cornerbacks Trumaine Johnson and Buster […]

Mitch Moreland To Hit Thursday

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland (hamstring) will hit on Thursday, and the team still has time to decide whether they want to include him on their roster for the American League Championship Series against the Astros. Moreland was beat up down the stretch and didn't play in the final two games of the […]

Eduardo Nunez OK For ALCS

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said infielder Eduardo Nunez (ankle) is OK after slipping on the final play of the Division Series win over the Yankees. Nunez has been the main third baseman in the playoffs and to close out the year over Rafael Devers, and it should remain that way moving forward. Nunez […]

Steven Wright Needs Surgery On Knee

Boston Red Sox pitcher Steven Wright (knee) needs arthroscopic surgery on his knee, but he is waiting on a second opinion to see if he could be available if the team advances to the World Series. The knuckleballer had to be removed from the Division Series because of the injury, so he is unavailable to […]

Cardinals Re-Sign Adam Wainwright

The St. Louis Cardinals agreed to terms on a one-year deal to re-sign starting pitcher Adam Wainwright on Thursday. He will be entering his 15th season with the Cardinals next year, which will match Bob Forsch for the third most as a pitcher for St. Louis. It could be Waino's last season in the bigs, […]

Greg Olsen Practices In Full, Won't Be Held Back

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (foot) was upgraded to a full practice participant on Thursday, and head coach Ron Rivera said Olsen won't be held back if he plays in Week 6 against the Redskins. All signs point to Olsen returning after fracturing his foot in the season opener. With how weak the tight […]

Matt Kalil On Track To Return Nov. 4

Carolina Panthers left tackle Matt Kalil (knee) said he's on track to resume practicing next week and return on Nov. 4 to face the Buccaneers. His knee is feeling stronger and his rehab from a knee scope has gone well. Kalil is one of the better left tackles in the NFL when healthy, so quarterback […]

Darius Leonard Returns To Practice

Indianapolis Colts rookie linebacker Darius Leonard (ankle) returned to practice along with safeties Malik Hooker (back) and Clayton Geathers (concussion, neck) on Thursday. It's good news for an ailing team all around as they get ready to face the Jets in Week 6. Leonard has burst onto the scene as a star in his first […]

No Eric Ebron On Thursday At Practice

Indianapolis Colts tight end Eric Ebron (ankle, knee, quadriceps, shin) missed practice for the second straight day. It's never a good sign when a player misses the first two practices of the week, so Ebron might be questionable, at best, for Week 6 against the Jets. That could really be a problem with Jack Doyle […]

Jamison Crowder, Paul Richardson Still Out Thursday

Washington Redskins wide receiver Jamison Crowder (ankle) and Paul Richardson (knee, shoulder) remain out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday. It doesn't look good for their chances of suiting up in Week 6 against the Panthers, but they could ease their fantasy owners' minds if they practice on Friday. Washington's passing offense […]

Could Jordan Howard Be A Trade Candidate?

Chicago Bears running back Jordan Howard has landed on the rumor mill as the Oct. 30 trade deadline approaches after Tarik Cohen exploded in Week 4. Rumors also swirled about Howard being traded before the draft in April. The Eagles are in need of a running back after Jay Ajayi's season-ending knee injury, but Bears […]

Ameer Abdullah Is Expendable

Detroit Lions running back Ameer Abdullah has become an afterthought in offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter's weekly scheme behind rookie Kerryon Johnson, LeGarrette Blount and Theo Riddick, making him a trade candidate. Abdullah has yet to see a carry this season and was a healthy scratch on game days for the entire month of September. […]

Tevin Coleman Could Be A Trade Candidate

Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman could become a trade candidate if the team doesn't turn things around in the next week or so. Rookie Ito Smith has impressed in limited action so far. Linebacker Vic Beasley could also be a trade candidate, but his 2019 option of $12.810 million could be a road block. […]

Anthony Castonzo Expects To Debut In Week 6

Indianapolis Colts left tackle Anthony Castonzo (hamstring) continues to be cautious after having multiple setbacks with his injury, but he fully expects to make his season debut in Week 6 against the Jets. He was a full participant in practice on Wednesday for the first time this year. It'd be great for quarterback Andrew Luck […]

Randall Cobb, Geronimo Allison Practice Thursday

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Randall Cobb (hamstring) and Geronimo Allison (concussion, hamstring) were both surprise participants in practice on Thursday and even took part in 11-on-11 drills. They were both originally expected to be in the rehab group off to the side, so this is great news for their statuses for Monday night against […]

Eric Berry, Justin Houston Not Practicing Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) and linebacker Justin Houston (hamstring) both missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Berry hasn't played yet this year and has no timetable for a return. Houston is one of the team's best pass rushers, so they could be in serious trouble without him on Sunday […]

Sean Lee Takes Part In Individual Drills

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee (hamstring) took part in individual drills during the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday. It's his first work in practice since injuring his hamstring in Week 3 against the Seahawks. Lee is still probably on the wrong side of questionable for Week 6 against the Jaguars, but […]

Nick Senzel Out 4-6 Weeks

Cincinnati Reds third base prospect Nick Senzel (elbow) needs surgery to remove bone spurs in his left elbow, which will keep him out for four to six weeks. It's a setback, as Senzel was hoping to get repetitions in the outfield in the Arizona Fall League, but he is expecting to be 100 percent healthy […]

Jon Gray Wasn't Healthy In 2018

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jon Gray said he simply wasn't healthy in 2018. "I wasn’t really healthy," Gray told the Denver Post, "My (velocity) was down this year. I was down about 20 pounds this year. I need to get back to 230-235." In an effort to bounce back after posting a disappointing 5.12 ERA, […]

Cubs Haven't Offered Kris Bryant An Extension

Recent reports that the Chicago Cubs offered third baseman Kris Bryant "a massive extension" worth "well north of $200 million" are "simply not true," according to sources. Bryant remains under control through the 2021 season, so there has been no rush on either side to work out a contract extension yet. A left shoulder injury […]

Ross Stripling Had Been Tipping Pitches

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Ross Stripling admitted that he had been tipping his pitches recently. It had to do with his foot positioning while he was in the stretch with men on base. Stripling was an All-Star this year and put up excellent numbers, but he was injured in the second half and struggled upon […]

Trumaine Johnson, Buster Skrine Out Thursday

New York Jets cornerbacks Trumaine Johnson (quadriceps) and Buster Skrine (concussion) both sat out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday and appear doubtful to play in Week 6 against the Colts. Johnson is on track to miss his second straight game. If both defensive backs are out, it'll severely weaken New York's […]

Cameron Wake Still Sidelined

Miami Dolphins defensive end Cameron Wake (knee) remained out of practice on Thursday for the second straight day. Wake sat out last weekend and appears to be on track to missing his second straight game. That would be bad news for the team's pass rush as they look to slow down Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky.

Tre'Davious White Practicing Thursday

Buffalo Bills top cornerback Tre'Davious White (ankle) has returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. White is on track to play in Week 6 against the Texans, where he would be tasked with slowing down elite wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins.

Caleb Sturgis Injured, Bolts Sign Mike Badgley

With Los Angeles Chargers kicker Caleb Sturgis (quadriceps) dealing with a strained quadriceps, the team is signing free-agent kicker Mike Badgley, according to league sources. Sturgis will remain on the roster, but it looks like he'll miss Week 6 against the Browns. You'll need to go in another direction this week if you've been rolling […]

Jaguars Sign Bo Scarbrough

The Jacksonville Jaguars signed free-agent running back Bo Scarbrough to their practice squad on Thursday and released fullback Dimitri Flowers in a corresponding move. With Leonard Fournette (hamstring) potentially missing several more games, the Jags are building their running back depth up. They also added Jamaal Charles and David Williams to the active roster earlier […]
