David Price To Be Available In Relief

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said he plans on having starting pitcher David Price available in relief in the coming days.

Justin Houston Suffers Hamstring Injury

Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Justin Houston (hamstring) left the game early in Week 5 against the Jaguars and is questionable to return.

Corey Grant Injured In Week 5

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Corey Grant (foot) injured his foot in Week 5 against the Chiefs and is questionable to return. Grant had one carry for eight yards before leaving the game.

David Bell May Be Favorite For Reds Manager Job

David Bell, who is a Cincinnati native and current farm director for the San Francisco Giants, appears to be the favorite for the Cincinnati Reds managerial opening.

Mitch Moreland Removed As Precaution In Game 2

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said first baseman Mitch Moreland (hamstring) left as a precaution with a tight hamstring in Game 2 of the American League Division Series against the Yankees on Saturday.

Aaron Hicks Gets Good News From MRI

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks' (hamstring) MRI exam came back clean on Saturday.

Mychal Kendricks Fighting Suspension

Seattle Seahawks linebacker Mychal Kendricks, who is suspended indefinitely for insider trading, is fighting his suspension. Kendricks, the NFLPA and lawyers are fighting to prove that the league doesn't have the right to suspend him "indefinitely," according to league sources. Kendricks pleaded guilty to insider-trading charges on Sept. 6. He's trying to have a specific […]

Earl Thomas To Have Surgery This Week

Seattle Seahawks safety Earl Thomas (leg) will have surgery to have a rod inserted into his broken leg this week, according to a source.

Everson Griffen Not Expected To Return Anytime Soon

Minnesota Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen is not expected to return to the team "anytime soon," according to a league source. The Pro Bowl defensive end continues to tend to his mental health.

Landry Jones Likely To Land A Job Soon

Free-agent quarterback Landry Jones, who has been busy working out for teams such as the Bills, Cowboys, Lions and Jaguars, is likely to land a job soon, according to a source. Jones was the former backup to Ben Roethlisberger in Pittsburgh. He won't have any fantasy value unless the starter ahead of him is injured. […]

Derek Anderson Expected To Sign With Bills

Free-agent quarterback Derek Anderson, who spent seven years as a mentor and backup to Cam Newton in Carolina, is expected to sign with the Buffalo Bills, according to sources. He is expected to be a mentor to rookie Josh Allen. Anderson would likely be an upgrade over current backup Nathan Peterman, but Anderson won't have […]

Saints Release Mike Gillislee

The New Orleans Saints released running back Mike Gillislee on Saturday. Gillislee had 16 carries for 43 yards in four games for the Saints, but he was expendable with Mark Ingram returning from his four-game suspension. Gillislee could land with another team in a short-yardage/goal-line role, but he doesn't carry much fantasy value.

Packers Not Worried About Aaron Rodgers, Mike McCarthy

Green Bay Packers president Mark Murphy is downplaying a potential rift between quarterback Aaron Rodgers and head coach Mike McCarthy. "We've seen this before," Murphy told NFL Network this week. "I think they've had a great relationship. It's just, two highly competitive people. The most important thing, they both want the same thing -- they […]

Leonard Fournette Could Miss Week 6

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring), who is out for Week 5, could also miss next week's game. Fournette's balky hamstring is now where it was a few weeks ago, so the Jags won't push their star running back. Injuries have plagued Fournette in his young career, and he's becoming an early-round bust for […]

Dalvin Cook A Long Shot To Play Against Eagles

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) is a long shot to play in Week 5 against the Eagles. Backup Latavius Murray will start and see an increased workload unless Cook makes a miraculous recovery before game time. Cook had just 10 carries for 20 yards and didn't touch the ball in the second half […]

Adrian Peterson, Paul Richardson Off The Injury Report

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson (ankle) and wide receiver Paul Richardson (shoulder) have been taken off the final injury report for Monday night against the Saints.

Josh Doctson, Trent Williams Questionable

Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson (heel) and left tackle Trent Williams (knee) are both questionable for Monday night against the Saints. Doctson didn't practice all week and was seen in a walking boot on Friday, making it seem doubtful that he'll suit up. He hasn't been a big part of the offense with quarterback […]

Keke Coutee Is A Game-Time Decision

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Keke Coutee (hamstring) will be a legitimate game-time decision on Sunday night against the Cowboys. If he plays, he'll be playing through pain. Coutee was a popular waiver addition this week after he blew up in Week 4 when Will Fuller was injured. However, Fuller is expected to play and […]

Will Fuller Expected To Play Against Cowboys

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller (hamstring), who is questionable for Sunday night, is expected to play against the Cowboys. Fuller constantly is battling injuries, but it looks like he'll play through his latest ailment. He has scored in all three games this year and has become a trusted weapon for quarterback Deshaun Watson when […]

Texans Pessimistic About Lamar Miller Playing Sunday Night

The Houston Texans are pessimistic that running back Lamar Miller (chest) will be able to play on Sunday night against the Cowboys, according to a source. Miller is listed as questionable and did very little in practice this week. If he is inactive, Alfred Blue would start and see most of the touches in the […]

Joe Mixon Might Not Be Every-Down Player Against Dolphins

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (knee), who is returning from a two-week absence, isn't expected to be an every-down player in Week 5 against the Dolphins. With Giovani Bernard (knee) out, expect rookie Mark Walton to get more carries to keep Mixon fresh. The Bengals will play it cautiously with Mixon, so he profiles […]

DeVante Parker, Andre Branch Inactive In Week 5

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (quadriceps) and defensive end Andre Branch (knee) are both inactive for Week 5 against the Bengals. Parker made his season debut two weeks ago against the Raiders but has been out each of the last two weeks now. Even if he returns in Week 6, he'll be more of […]
