Adrian Peterson, Paul Richardson Practicing

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson (ankle) and wide receiver Paul Richardson (knee, shoulder) were both seen practicing on Thursday. Coming off their bye week, both players should be good to go on Monday night against the Saints. Peterson blew up in Week 3 and remains a volume-based RB2 against his former team. Richardson has […]

Josh Doctson Out For Second Straight Day

Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson (heel) is missing practice for the second straight day on Thursday after he had his heel stepped on in practice on Wednesday. The Redskins play on Monday night, so Doctson has a little extra time to heel, but it's not looking good for his status right now. The 25-year-old […]

Corey Clement, Darren Sproles Out Again

Philadelphia Eagles running backs Corey Clement (quadriceps) and Darren Sproles (hamstring) both missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. It's looking like Clement will miss his second straight game and Sproles will miss his fourth straight game this Sunday. That means that Wendell Smallwood and rookie Josh Adams would back up Jay Ajayi […]

Alshon Jeffery Returns To Practice Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (chest) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. It looks like Jeffery will be fine to play again this Sunday after making his season debut with eight catches on nine targets for 105 yards and a touchdown in Week 4. Jeffery will have a tough matchup […]

Aaron Rodgers Returns To Practice Thursday

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. It's the same routine that Rodgers went through last week. He will play in Week 5 against the Lions, but he might be just a low-end QB1 with receivers Davante Adams (calf), Randall Cobb (hamstring) and Geronimo Allison […]

Tyler Anderson Expected To Start Game 2 Of NLDS

Colorado Rockies manager Bud Black said he was "leaning" toward using starting pitcher Tyler Anderson as the starter for Game 2 of the National League Division Series against the Brewers on Friday. That would set up Kyle Freeland and German Marquez to pitch Sunday and Monday, respectively, in Denver. The left-handed Anderson went 7-9 with […]

Chase Anderson, Eric Thames Left Off NLDS Roster

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Chase Anderson and first baseman Eric Thames were left off the roster for the National League Division Series against the Rockies. Starter Zach Davies and relievers Xavier Cedeno and Dan Jennings also were left off the roster. Anderson was the team's opening day starter but struggled mightily down the stretch. Thames […]

Brandon Woodruff To Serve As Opener In Game 1 Of NLDS

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Brandon Woodruff will serve as the opener for Game 1 of the National League Division Series against the Rockies on Thursday. Woodruff, who has experience as a starter and who had four starts in 19 outings this year, went 3-0 on the season with a 3.61 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 47 K's […]

Eric Berry Still Out

Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) remains out of practice on Thursday. Berry has yet to practice in the regular season, and there remains no timetable for his season debut for KC. Without him, the Chiefs secondary has been very generous to opposing wideouts through four weeks. The latest beneficiaries could be Jaguars quarterback […]

LeGarrette Blount Returns To Practice

Detroit Lions running back LeGarrette Blount (illness) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Blount should be fine to play in Week 5 against the Packers, but he's losing fantasy appeal quickly. The bruising back had only seven carries for 12 yards (1.7 yards per carry) in Week 4 and is averaging […]

Devonta Freeman Will Play Against Steelers

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn confirmed that running back Devonta Freeman (knee) will play in Week 5 against the Steelers. Freeman has missed three games with a knee contusion, but he will start and should see most of the work in the backfield on Sunday in what could be a high-scoring game. Pencil him […]

Greg Olsen Getting Work In Thursday

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (foot) was getting some work in at practice for the second straight day on Thursday less than four weeks after he re-fractured his foot in the season opener. Olsen was seen running routes and catching passes on Thursday, a great sign that he could return to the team very […]

DeVante Parker Dressed For Practice

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (quadriceps) is dressed for practice for the second straight day on Thursday. It looks like Parker will be able to return in Week 5 against the Bengals after he was inactive in the blowout loss to the Patriots. Parker had only two catches on three targets for 40 yards […]

Broncos Want To Get Royce Freeman More Touches

Denver Broncos head coach Vance Joseph said he wants to get rookie running back Royce Freeman more touches moving forward. "He needs more opportunities because he is playing good football," Joseph said. Freeman is averaging a healthy 5.0 yards per carry on 44 attempts through four games, and he also has touchdowns in each of […]

Will Fuller Expects To Play This Weekend

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller (hamstring) said his hamstring is feeling better and that he expects to play in Week 5 against the Cowboys on Sunday night if he continues on this track. The injuries just never seem to go away for Fuller, but it looks like he won't have to miss a game […]

Carson Wentz's Knee Injury Is Behind Him

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz said his knee injury is completely behind him after starting two games after returning from his serious knee injury from last season. "And physically, I feel great. I feel I'm picking up [where I left off] on the field last year. To me, the knee thing is behind me, and […]

Devonta Freeman Feels Great

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (knee) said he's comfortable to return in Week 5 against the Steelers after missing the last three games with a right knee contusion. Head coach Dan Quinn expects Freeman to be a full participant in practice all week, although Freeman was limited on Wednesday. "I'm in-tune with my body […]

No Practice For Giovani Bernard, John Ross

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard (knee) and wide receiver John Ross (groin) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Unless both players return to practice on Friday, they're looking doubtful to play in Week 5 against the Dolphins. Bernard worked on a side field on Thursday and Ross rode a stationary bike. […]

Joe Mixon Puts In Another Day Of Practice

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (knee) put in his second straight day of practice on Thursday, suggesting that he will indeed suit up in Week 5 against the Dolphins. Mixon missed the last two games after having a minor procedure on his knee, but he should return this weekend and handle the lion's share […]

Jarvis Landry, Antonio Callaway Back At Practice

Cleveland Browns wide receivers Jarvis Landry (knee) and rookie Antonio Callaway (knee) both returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. It puts both players in line to play in a tough matchup in Week 5 against the Ravens. Landry is the unquestioned No. 1 wideout on this team and is a must-start […]

Randall Cobb, Geronimo Allison Missing Practice Again

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Randall Cobb (hamstring) and Geronimo Allison (concussion) are both out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Cobb is working with the rehab group, while Allison remains in the concussion protocol. Both players are starting to look doubtful for Week 5 against the Lions unless they can return […]

Jimmy Graham's Injury Not Serious

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said that tight end Jimmy Graham (knee) missing practice on Wednesday was just "maintenance" for his knee and nothing serious. It's the same routine that Graham went through last week, so we should expect him to return to practice on Thursday and play in Week 5 against the […]

Davante Adams To Miss Another Practice

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said that wide receiver Davante Adams (calf) injured himself in practice on Wednesday and he will work with the rehab group on Thursday. That's now two missed practices for Adams, which isn't a good sign for his availability on Sunday against the Lions. His practice status on Friday […]

Rob Gronkowski Expected To Play

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Thursday night against the Colts, is expected to play, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "What I've been told all along here is they want to be cautious with him," NFL Network's Michael Girardi reported Thursday on Good Morning Football. "Obviously, […]

Anibal Sanchez To Start Game 2 Of NLDS

Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker said that starting pitcher Anibal Sanchez will start Game 2 of the National League Division Series against the Dodgers. The veteran Sanchez was a nice surprise and a big part of the team's rotation all year, going 7-6 with a nice 2.83 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 135 strikeouts in 136 […]

Dansby Swanson Hopes To Be Ready For Possible NLCS

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson (hand) said his left hand is improving "slowly, but surely" and hopes to be ready if the team advances to the National League Championship Series. The Braves will feel Swanson's loss both on offense and defense against the Dodgers in the National League Division Series. In his absence, infielder Charlie […]

Tyler Higbee, Greg Zuerlein Miss Practice

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (knee) and kicker Greg Zuerlein (groin) both missed practice on Wednesday. Zuerlein probably will not return in Week 5 against the Seahawks after the team signed Cairo Santos earlier in the week. Zuerlein is improving, though, and he could be ready to return in Week 6. Santos could […]

Mark Barron Expected To Return In Week 5

Los Angeles Rams linebacker Mark Barron (ankle) was limited in practice on Wednesday, and head coach Sean McVay expects Barron to make his season debut in Week 5 against the Seahawks. Barron's return will surely help shore up the team's run defense and defense against tight ends. He will likely be eased back into a […]

Magneuris Sierra To Play Winter Ball

Miami Marlins outfielder Magneuris Sierra has been approved to play winter ball in the Dominican Republic. Sierra, who was acquired from the Cardinals in the Marcell Ozuna trade, struggled in 147 at-bats (54) games in his first real taste of the majors this year. He hit .190/.222/.211 with no homers, seven RBI and three stolen […]

Don Mattingly To Return In 2019

Miami Marlins manager Don Mattingly will be back for the final year of his contract in 2019, but the status of the rest of his coaching staff is unclear. In his three seasons with Miami, Mattingly has gone 219-265 and has yet to have a winning record after finishing 63-98 in 2018. It's unclear if […]
