Cameron Maybin Scratched From Lineup

Seattle Mariners outfielder Cameron Maybin (elbow) was scratched from the starting lineup on Wednesday with a sore elbow. Guillermo Heredia will start in center field in Maybin's place and will bat ninth against Padres lefty starter Joey Lucchesi. Maybin has actually lost fantasy value moving from Miami to Seattle, where he's hit just .227 with […]

James Paxton Won't Travel With Team This Weekend

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher James Paxton (illness) is dealing with a virus and won't travel with the team to face the Angels this weekend in Anaheim, according to manager Scott Servais. It means that the left-hander won't get to face the Angels in a favorable matchup this weekend. Paxton has been the team's best starter […]

Marquise Goodwin Misses Practice

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (thigh) will not practice on Wednesday and is in line to be questionable for Week 2 against the Lions. Goodwin put up a donut for fantasy owners in the season opener because of his injury, and he might not play this weekend. If he sits out, receiver Pierre […]

Carson Wentz, Darren Sproles Limited Wednesday

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz (knee), running back Darren Sproles (hamstring) and wide receiver Shelton Gibson (knee) were all limited in practice on Wednesday. Wentz will sit out another week in favor of Nick Foles. Sproles should be fine to play in Week 2 against the Buccaneers, but he's nothing more than a flex play […]

Ezekiel Ansah Hopeful Of Playing In Week 2

Detroit Lions defensive end Ezekiel Ansah (shoulder) underwent an MRI exam that didn't show a significant injury. He's now hoping to play in Week 2 against the 49ers, according to a source. Ansah did manage a sack in the first half last Monday against the Jets before leaving the game. His return is essential to […]

Matt Barkley Released With Injury Settlement

The Cincinnati Bengals released quarterback Matt Barkley (knee) from the Injured Reserve with an injury settlement on Wednesday. Jeff Driskel will move forward as the main backup to Andy Dalton. The Bengals are set to face the Ravens in Week 2 on Thursday night.

Taylor Lewan Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Tennessee Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday and was sent home and told to rest by the medical staff. That's not a good sign for the team's top offensive lineman heading into a matchup against a Texans team with a strong pass rush. Quarterback Marcus Mariota (elbow) is also dealing […]

Marcus Mariota Should Play In Week 2

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota (elbow) practiced on Wednesday and is "feeling good," according to head coach Mike Vrabel. Barring a setback, Mariota should be good to go for Week 2 against the Texans. How productive he'll be if he plays is an entirely different story. The Titans are dealing with injuries to their two […]

Hayden Hurst Ruled Out

Baltimore Ravens rookie tight end Hayden Hurst (foot) didn't practice all week and is ruled out for the Week 2 game against the Bengals on Thursday. Wide receiver Janarion Grant was limited the last two days but is questionable. Hurst may not be able to return for at least another week or two. In his […]

Sterling Shepard Limited Wednesday For Week 2

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (back) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Shepard should be able to play in Week 2 in a great matchup against the Cowboys on Sunday night. The 25-year-old had five grabs (seven targets) for 48 yards in the season opener. While he's no longer the first option for […]

Austin Seferian-Jenkins Limited

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins (abdomen) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Wide receiver Jaydon Mickens (knee) was also limited. ASF came into Week 1 as a sleeper tight end, but he caught just three passes (five targets) for 25 yards. He should be able to play in Week 2 against the Patriots, where […]

Raiders Signing Johnathan Hankins

The Oakland Raiders are signing free-agent defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins on Wednesday. Unsurprisingly, the Raiders had trouble getting to the quarterback in Week 1 against the Rams after trading away their best edge rusher in Khalil Mack. Oakland is also beat up on the defensive line already, so Hankins could have an immediate role. How […]

Kenneth Dixon Placed On IR

The Baltimore Ravens placed running back Kenneth Dixon (knee) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday and signed running back De'Lance Turner to the active roster. That escalated quickly. Dixon just hasn't been able to avoid knee injuries in his career. He also missed all of the 2017 season. With Dixon out of the picture for at […]

Davante Adams Dealing With Shoulder Injury

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (shoulder) was held out of practice with a shoulder injury on Wednesday. He fell on it awkwardly in the Week 1 win over the Bears but said he feels good about his chances of playing in Week 2 against the Vikings. Adams should be able to suit up. […]

Luke Kuechly Practices In Full

Carolina Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly (knee) practiced in full on Wednesday. Kuechly had 11 tackles and two assists in the Week 1 win against the Cowboys and remains a strong IDP linebacker as long as he's healthy. The 27-year-old has had problems with head injuries in recent seasons and hasn't played a full year since […]

C.J. Anderson, Curtis Samuel Not Practicing

Carolina Panthers running back C.J. Anderson (illness) and wide receivers Curtis Samuel (heart) and Damiere Byrd (knee) are all sitting out of practice on Wednesday. Anderson should be able to play this week but remains the second fiddle behind Christian McCaffrey and an already-depleted offensive line. Samuel is dealing with complications from an irregular heartbeat […]

Trai Turner Has Concussion

Carolina Panthers offensive guard Trai Turner (concussion) is on the injury report on Wednesday and did not practice. Both left tackle Matt Kalil and right tackle Daryl Williams are already on the Injured Reserve, so losing Turner for any amount of time might be a disastrous blow. Carolina's weak O-line will certainly hurt the rushing […]

Jeremy Hellickson Back From DL

The Washington Nationals activated starting pitcher Jeremy Hellickson (wrist) from the disabled list on Wednesday. It's unclear what role the veteran right-hander will fill to close out the year, but he has expressed a willingness to pitch out of the bullpen. Hellickson had been solid for the Nats before his injury, going 5-3 with a […]

Marlon Mack Practicing Wednesday

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (hamstring) is practicing on Wednesday for the third time in a row dating back to last week. Mack was inactive in Week 1 against the Bengals but has a better shot to make his season debut this weekend against the Redskins. With Mack out in the season opener, rookie […]

Niko Goodrum Injured Wednesday

Detroit Tigers infielder Niko Goodrum (quadriceps) left the game early on Wednesday after suffering a quadriceps contusion after colliding with outfielder Christin Stewart. Goodrum struck out in his only plate appearance before getting injured. He's batting only .236/.310/.431 on the season but does have 16 home runs, 52 runs scored, 45 RBI and 12 stolen […]

DeSean Jackson Headlines Bucs Missing Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson (concussion, shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday. Also not practicing were rookie defensive tackle Vita Vea, cornerback Brent Grimes and defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul. Jackson must pass the concussion protocol in order to practice this week, but with a shoulder injury on top of it, he's looking highly […]

Eric Berry Still Out Wednesday

Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) will not practice on Wednesday, but head coach Andy Reid said Berry is "making progress." Unless Berry makes it back to practice on Thursday, it's likely that he'll sit out for the second straight week. KC's secondary was torched by Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers in the season opener, […]

Jason Pierre-Paul Uncertain For Week 2

Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul (knee) has a brace on his right knee on Wednesday and said he's unsure if he will play in Week 2 against the Eagles. "My knee is jacked up. Banged up. Ask me if I can play Sunday, I don't know," Pierre-Paul said. With cornerback Vernon Hargreaves (shoulder) […]

Cameron Meredith Is Healthy

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton said wide receiver Cameron Meredith is healthy, and his healthy scratch in Week 1 against the Buccaneers was about Meredith missing repetitions in training camp and needing to get the timing down in the offense. Meredith may still need more work in the offense, so don't be surprised […]

Kenny Stills Becoming Consistent Receiving Option

The Miami Dolphins have faith that wide receiver Kenny Stills can become a complete No. 1 option for the offense in the passing game. “We know he’s a vertical threat. He showed that again, that he’s still able to do that,” head coach Adam Gase said. “There’s [going to be] more underneath and there’s [going […]

Devonta Freeman Sits Out Wednesday

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (knee) did not practice on Wednesday as he deals with a sore knee. Freeman's injury isn't expected to keep him out this weekend against the Panthers, but it's fair to wonder if he'll be limited if he does play. His practice participation the rest of the week will give […]

Daryl Williams Can't Avoid Injured Reserve

The Carolina Panthers placed right tackle Daryl Williams (knee) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday. He's expected to have surgery after injuring his right knee in the season opener against Dallas. Williams also tore his MCL and dislocated his patella on the same knee in the preseason. With Matt Kalil also hurt, this is bad news […]

Vernon Hargreaves Going On IR

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are placing cornerback Vernon Hargreaves (shoulder) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Hargreaves is dealing with a serious shoulder injury and may not return this year. That's really bad news for a Bucs secondary that is also missing Brent Grimes. The Saints and quarterback Drew Brees […]

Olivier Vernon Expected To Practice This Week

New York Giants defensive end Olivier Vernon (ankle) will practice this week and there is hope that he can return soon, according to head coach Pat Shurmur. Vernon was out in Week 1 while dealing with a high ankle sprain and will probably be questionable, at best, for Week 2 against the Cowboys. Having Vernon […]

Ben Roethlisberger Says He's Fine

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (elbow) said his elbow is just bruised and that he will be fine for Week 2 against the Chiefs. He would neither confirm nor deny that he underwent an MRI exam but said he plans on playing this weekend. Big Ben is as tough as they come, so we doubt […]
