Joe Mixon Not Expected To Be Fully Unleashed

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis doesn't expect to fully unleash running back Joe Mixon (knee) in Week 5 against the Dolphins after he missed some time with his knee injury. Lewis said there will be some limits for Mixon due to his conditioning taking a hit during the rehab process. That means that fourth-round […]

Alex Erickson's Role To Increase

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Alex Erickson's role is expected to increase in Week 5 against the Dolphins with John Ross (groin) ruled out. Erickson earned the most snaps at receiver of any game this year by a wide margin in Week 4 and was also the third running back behind Giovani Bernard and rookie Mark […]

Steven Wright Undergoes MRI On Knee

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Steven Wright (knee) underwent an MRI exam on his knee on Friday since it was bothering him before Game 1 of the American League Division Series against the Yankees. If the Red Sox need to replace the knuckleballer on the roster, Wright would be unavailable to return for the Championship […]

Aaron Hicks To Have MRI Saturday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks (hamstring), who left Game 1 of the American League Division Series early on Friday against the Red Sox, said he felt his right hamstring cramping up before the game. He will undergo an MRI exam on Saturday, which will determine the severity of the injury. Hicks dealt with a […]

49ers Hopeful That Jimmy Garoppolo Will Be Ready For OTAs

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said he was told that quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo's (knee) surgery on Wednesday to fix a torn ACL went "as good as it could've," and Shanahan is hopeful that the quarterback can be available for part of the offseason program on a limited basis. Barring any setbacks, Garoppolo should […]

49ers Offensive Line Banged Up Entering Week 5

San Francisco 49ers center Weston Richburg (knee) and right tackle Mike McGlinchey (knee) are both questionable to play in Week 5 against the Cardinals, while right guard Mike Person (knee) was limited in two practices this week. Left tackle Joe Staley (knee) is the most in question and probably the most important, as he'd be […]

Tyler Higbee, Mark Barron Questionable

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (knee) and linebacker Mark Barron (ankle) were both limited in practice on Friday and are both questionable for Week 5 against the Seahawks. Higbee is fully expected to play, while head coach Sean McVay said he's "feeling good" about Barron making his season debut. However, Barron could be […]

Kevin Gausman Lined Up For Game 3 Of NLDS

Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker said that starting pitcher Kevin Gausman will start Game 3 of the National League Division Series against the Dodgers as long as he's not used in relief in Game 2 on Friday. Gausman pitched much better after being traded from the Orioles to the Braves in the summer, as he […]

Clint Frazier Resting At Home

New York Yankees outfielder Clint Frazier (concussion) is at home and is resting, according to general manager Brian Cashman. Frazier is doing better and will be recovered in time for spring training next year. The promising outfield prospect dealt with lingering concussion issues basically all year after colliding with the outfield wall in spring training, […]

Aaron Hicks Injured In Game 1

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks (hamstring) left the game early on Friday in Game 1 of the American League Division Series against the Red Sox with right hamstring tightness. The Yankees continue to evaluate him. Hicks dealt with hamstring issues to close out the regular season, so this could be an aggravation of that, […]

Aaron Colvin Out At Least Six Weeks

Houston Texans slot cornerback Aaron Colvin (ankle) will be out at least six weeks, according to a source. Houston's secondary wasn't very deep to begin with, so this could become a problem for them moving forward. Shareece Wright and Kayvon Webster should help fill in down the middle. This is good news for the Cowboys […]

Kurt Suzuki Catching In Game 2

Atlanta Braves catcher Kurt Suzuki will serve as the starting catcher over Tyler Flowers and hit fifth in Game 2 of the National League Division Series on Friday against Dodgers starter Clayton Kershaw. In just seven career at-bats against Kershaw, Suzuki has one hit and two strikeouts. On the year, Suzuki hit .273/.326/.489 with five […]

Luis Severino, CC Sabathia To Start Games 3 And 4

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said starting pitchers Luis Severino and CC Sabathia will start Games 3 and 4, respectively, in the American League Division Series against the Red Sox. Severino was great in the wild-card win over the A's, allowing just two hits in four scoreless innings with seven strikeouts, although he did […]

Aaron Rodgers, Jimmy Graham Off Injury Report

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) and tight end Jimmy Graham (knee) both practiced in full on Friday and are off the final injury report for Week 5 against the Lions. Rodgers practiced in full the last two days, so that could be a sign that his left knee injury is getting better, not […]

Ted Ginn Still Out Thursday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn (knee) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. If Ginn can't return to practice on Saturday, we don't like his chances of playing on Monday night against the Redskins. Despite having two touchdowns this year, Ginn hasn't done much outside of that and has just three […]

Doug Baldwin Taken Off Injury Report

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin (knee) was taken off the final injury report and will play in Week 5 against the Rams. Baldwin returned after missing two games last week and had five catches on seven targets for 41 yards against Arizona. He has a tough matchup with Rams cornerback Marcus Peters this Sunday, […]

Frank Clark Questionable Against Rams

Seattle Seahawks defensive end Frank Clark (illness) is listed as questionable for Week 5 against the Rams. Clark is dealing with food poisoning, but we suspect that he will be available this Sunday. The Seahawks will need Clark's presence in order to disrupt Rams quarterback Jared Goff and LA's high-flying offensive attack.

Jermaine Gresham Off The Injury Report

Arizona Cardinals tight end Jermaine Gresham (Achilles) practiced in full on Friday and is off the final injury report for Week 5 against the 49ers. Gresham will play in his third game of the season this Sunday, but he's caught just one of two targets for nine yards in two games so far. Ricky Seals-Jones […]

Larry Fitzgerald Questionable Against 49ers

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald (back, hamstring) was limited in practice the last two days and is questionable for Week 5 against the 49ers. Fitzgerald was also questionable last week but ended up playing. We expect the same this Sunday. While the Niners banged-up secondary could present an opportunity for Arizona's offense to do […]

Matt Breida, Richard Sherman, Joe Staley Questionable

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (knee), cornerback Richard Sherman (calf) and left tackle Joe Staley (knee) are all questionable to play in Week 5 against the Cardinals. Defensive back Jimmie Ward (hamstring) also was injured on Friday and is questionable. Breida was limited all week and should be able to play as an […]

Marquise Goodwin To Be Game-Time Decision Against Arizona

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (hamstring, quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Week 5 against the Cardinals and will be a game-time decision, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. Even if Goodwin plays, he could be followed by shutdown cornerback Patrick Peterson at less than 100 percent. That's on top of already having […]

Amari Cooper Fine To Play In Week 5

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Amari Cooper (foot) was limited in practice all week and is not on the final injury report for Week 5 against the Raiders. Cooper was never in any danger of missing this Sunday's game. He's had two really good games and two clunkers so far in four weeks, so it's almost […]

LeGarrette Blount Will Play Against Packers

Detroit Lions running back LeGarrette Blount (illness) returned to a full practice on Friday and was taken off the final injury report for Week 5 against the Packers. Blount remains an option in this committee backfield, but he's been the least effective back among rookie Kerryon Johnson and Theo Riddick. Blount could vulture a touchdown, […]

Marvin Jones, Quandre Diggs Questionable

Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones (ankle) and defensive back Quandre Diggs (hand) are both listed as questionable for Week 5 against the Packers. Jones picked up an injury at practice Friday, so that doesn't bode well for his status this Sunday. If he must sit out, it'd mean more targets for Golden Tate and […]

Ezekiel Ansah, Michael Roberts Ruled Out

Detroit Lions defensive end Ezekiel Ansah (shoulder) and tight end Michael Roberts (knee) were ruled out for Week 5 against the Packers. Ansah was limited in practice all week, while Roberts didn't practice at all. Ansah appears close to a return, but he will miss his fourth straight game of the year. He's the team's […]

Cole Beasley, DeMarcus Lawrence Will Play

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cole Beasley (ankle) and defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence (shoulder) both practiced in full on Friday and are not on the final injury report for Week 5 against the Texans on Sunday night. Beasley sadly is the team's leading receiver with 16 catches on 18 targets for 185 yards and no touchdowns […]

DeAndre Hopkins, J.J. Watt, Jadeveon Clowney Are Fine

Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (ankle, hamstring, thumb) and defensive ends J.J. Watt (thigh) and Jadeveon Clowney (foot) have been taken off the final injury report for Week 5 against the Cowboys on Sunday night. Wide receiver Sammie Coates (hamstring) will also play, but he has no fantasy value. Hopkins, Watt and Clowney were […]

Will Fuller, Keke Coutee Questionable

Houston Texans wide receivers Will Fuller (hamstring) and rookie Keke Coutee (hamstring) were both limited all week in practice and are questionable for Week 5 against the Cowboys on Sunday night. Coutee made his season debut in Week 4 when Fuller was injured and thoroughly impressed. He should be fine to play, but his fantasy […]

T.J. Yeldon, Austin Seferian-Jenkins Will Play

Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon (ankle) and tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins (abdomen) both practiced in full on Friday and are off the final injury report for Week 5 against the Chiefs. With Leonard Fournette (hamstring) out, Yeldon will be the main option in the backfield and is in the RB2 mix this weekend with […]

Sammy Watkins, Dee Ford Listed As Questionable

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) and linebacker Dee Ford (groin) were both limited in practice all week and are questionable to play in Week 5 against the Jaguars. It seems as though both will have no trouble playing on Sunday. Watkins missed his only target last Monday night before being injured, and […]
