Josh Rosen Returns To Practice Wednesday

As Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks expected, rookie quarterback Josh Rosen (toe) returned to practice on Wednesday. Rosen suffered a toe injury late in last Thursday's blowout loss to the Broncos, but he should be fine to suit up in Week 8 against the 49ers. Rosen was a disaster last week and hasn't looked […]

Cam Newton Dealing With Sore Shoulder

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton (shoulder) was limited in practice on Wednesday, and head coach Ron Rivera said Newton was a little bit sore and tired coming out of Week 7. Newton has gone over 300 yards passing just once this season, but he's completing 65.6 percent of his passes and has 11 passing touchdowns, […]

Doug Martin The Team's Feature Back

Oakland Raiders head coach Jon Gruden called running back Doug Martin a "feature back" with Marshawn Lynch (groin) on Injured Reserve. The 29-year-old Martin hasn't done much of anything this year, rushing 27 times for 99 yards (3.7 yards per carry) and no touchdowns. There's nothing to suggest he'll be more effective with a larger […]

Royce Freeman Not Practicing Wednesday

Denver Broncos rookie running back Royce Freeman (ankle) is not practicing on Wednesday. Although the Broncos are optimistic that Freeman may not have to miss any time, he's dealing with a high ankle sprain, which usually keeps players out several weeks. Fantasy owners should not be expecting Freeman to play against the Chiefs in Week […]

Zero Chance Patrick Peterson Gets Moved

There appears to be zero chance that Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson is traded ahead of the deadline on Oct. 30. The Cardinals never put Peterson on the trade block, although he publicly asked for a trade out of the desert. The All-Pro shutdown cornerback doesn't want to be part of the team's rebuild, but […]

Rashard Higgins Still Sidelined

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Rashard Higgins (knee) is working on the side with athletic trainers during practice on Wednesday. Higgins has been out since spraining his MCL in Week 5, but he could be getting closer to a return. With nobody really stepping up behind Jarvis Landry, Higgins could surpass rookies Antonio Callaway and Damion […]

Giovani Bernard Not Practicing Wednesday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard (knee) remains on the rehab field during practice on Wednesday. Bernard remains out with a sprained MCL, and he doesn't look close to returning in Week 8 against the Buccaneers. He's worth a stash for running-back needy fantasy owners, but he'll only be Joe Mixon's change-of-pace back when he […]

No Practice For Wendell Smallwood, Darren Sproles

Philadelphia Eagles running backs Wendell Smallwood (undisclosed) and Darren Sproles (hamstring) are not practicing on Wednesday. Sproles hasn't played since the season opener and hasn't practiced since either, so there remains no timetable for his return. Smallwood has been forming an uninspiring tandem with Corey Clement since Jay Ajayi was lost for the season. If […]

Ryan Grant, Robert Turbin, Adam Vinatieri Not Practicing

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Ryan Grant (ankle), running back Robert Turbin (shoulder) and kicker Adam Vinatieri (groin) are all missing practice on Wednesday. Grant and Turbin both sat out in Week 7 and could miss another game. Grant is waiver wire fodder with T.Y. Hilton returning to action last Sunday. Turbin is fourth on the […]

No Practice For Peyton Barber

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber (ankle) is not practicing on Wednesday. Barber picked up an ankle injury in Week 7, and it's unclear if it's serious enough to keep him sidelined in Week 8 against the Bengals. If he's forced to sit, it'd mean bigger workloads for rookie Ronald Jones II and Jacquizz […]

Rob Gronkowski, Sony Michel Not Practicing

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (back) and rookie running back Sony Michel (knee) are not practicing on Wednesday. Gronk missed Week 7, but his back injury isn't believed to be serious and he has a good chance of returning on Monday night against the Bills. It'll ease his owners' minds, though, if he […]

Patriots Won't Be Landing Patrick Peterson

The New England Patriots will not be trading for Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson at the trade deadline next Tuesday. A source said the team hasn't had a single conversation about making a deal for Peterson, and discussing how the team would be able to make him fit is a "waste of time." The Patriots […]

Lions Acquire Damon Harrison

The Detroit Lions acquired defensive tackle Damon Harrison from the New York Giants on Wednesday in exchange for a fifth-round pick in next year's draft, according to sources. The Giants are already pretty much out of the playoff picture and have also sent cornerback Eli Apple to the Saints. Harrison will be a big boost […]

Leonard Fournette, James O'Shaughnessy To Sit Out

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) and tight end James O'Shaughnessy (hip) are both expected to sit out of practice on Wednesday. At this point, it seems likely that Fournette will rest up through the team's Week 9 bye. T.J. Yeldon has been an RB2 in his absence, but the presence of Carlos Hyde […]

Jack Doyle Has Chance To Return Against Raiders

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle (hip), who has been out since Week 3, will practice on Wednesday and head coach Frank Reich isn't ruling Doyle out from returning in Week 8 to face the Raiders. When Doyle was injured coincided with Eric Ebron blowing up as a TE1, so it's fair to wonder if […]

Bilal Powell Out For The Season

The New York Jets placed running back Bilal Powell (neck) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday, effectively ending his season. He will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, so Week 7 could've been his last game with the team. He had rushed for 343 yards on 80 carries while also catching 11 passes for 110 […]

Broncos Release Chad Kelly

The Denver Broncos released backup quarterback Chad Kelly on Wednesday following his arrest for criminal trespassing, according to a source. Kelly had off-field issues in college as well, which was one of the reasons he was the last pick in the 2017 draft. It's a shame, since Kelly was primed to see starts in the […]

Broncos Not Looking To Trade Demaryius Thomas

The Denver Broncos will not trade wide receiver Demaryius Thomas this week and are not actively shopping him, according to a source. They will probably listen to offers from interested teams before the deadline Oct. 30, but it's a good bet that Thomas finishes the year in Denver. However, with Thomas declining and rookie Courtland […]

Teams Interested In Janoris Jenkins, Gareon Conley

Teams are expressing interest in trading for both New York Giants cornerback Janoris Jenkins and Oakland Raiders cornerback Gareon Conley with the cornerback market heating up with the Oct. 30 deadline quickly approaching. The Eagles, Patriots and Steelers are among the teams exploring their options. The Giants and Raiders are both well out of the […]

Jets Unlikely To Land Patrick Peterson

The Arizona Cardinals fielded an inquiry from the New York Jets on cornerback Patrick Peterson, according to a source. However, the Cardinals aren't trading Peterson to the Jets, barring a miracle. The Jets are in desperate need of secondary help with cornerbacks Trumaine Johnson and Buster Skrine and safety Marcus Maye all currently injury, but […]

Albert Wilson Likely To Land On Injured Reserve

While Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson (hip) won't need surgery, he's still likely to be placed on Injured Reserve to give him time to recover, according to a source. He won't be eligible to return for eight weeks, so fantasy owners that added him last week off waivers will need to dump him already. […]

Everson Griffen Returning To Team

Minnesota Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen, who has been away from the team since Sept. 20 to deal with his personal health, will resume activities with the team on Wednesday. It remains to be seen if Griffen will play in Week 8 against the Saints, but it's a step in the right direction for a […]

Geoff Swaim, Zack Martin Have Sprained Knees

Dallas Cowboys tight end Geoff Swaim (knee) and right guard Zack Martin (knee) have both been diagnosed with sprained MCLs. The good news is that the Cowboys are on bye in Week 8, but MCL sprains typically can cost a player anywhere from two to four weeks of missed time. That means that both Swaim […]

Mauricio Dubon On Track For Spring Training

Milwaukee Brewers middle infield prospect Mauricio Dubon (knee), the team's No. 7 prospect, is on track to be ready for the start of spring training, according to general manager David Stearns. Dubon's season ended prematurely in May when he tore his ACL. The 24-year-old was hitting .343/.348/.574 with four home runs, 18 RBI and six […]

Josh Hader To Stay In Bullpen In 2019

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Josh Hader will remain in the bullpen next season, according to general manager David Stearns. Hader initially came up as a top starting pitching prospect for Milwaukee, but he has hit his stride in a relief role and is especially devastating against lefties. He went 6-1 with a 2.43 ERA, 0.81 […]

Rafael Devers Starting In Game 1 Tuesday

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers is starting at the hot corner and is batting sixth in Game 1 of the World Series against Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw on Tuesday. Devers hit just .229 with three of his 21 home runs this year against left-handers, but he has also been hot this postseason and […]

Brian Dozier Leading Off In Game 1 Of World Series

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Brian Dozier is starting at second base and is hitting leadoff in Game 1 of the World Series against Red Sox left-hander Chris Sale on Tuesday. David Freese is also starting at first base and hitting third, while Joc Pederson, Max Muncy, Cody Bellinger and Yasmani Grandal will start on […]

Geoff Swaim Undergoing MRI

Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett said tight end Geoff Swaim (knee) was injured in the Week 7 loss to the Redskins and is undergoing an MRI exam on Tuesday. Swaim will not practice this week during the bye, but Garrett is hopeful that Swaim's injury is a short-term one. Swaim has been the team's […]

Eli Manning Remains Giants Starter

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said that quarterback Eli Manning will remain the team's starter going forward. Manning had a season-high 399 yards in the Monday night loss to the Falcons, but he had just one touchdown and remains inefficient in the red zone. New York's brutal offensive line isn't helping his cause, […]

Raiders Signing Daniel Carlson

The Oakland Raiders signed free-agent kicker Daniel Carlson on Tuesday, according to a source. They are moving on from Matthew McCrane. Carlson was drafted in the fifth round by the Vikings this year before being cut after going 1-for-4 on field-goal tries in the first two games of his career. With Oakland's offense sputtering and […]
