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 […]

Leonard Fournette Not Practicing Wednesday

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) is not expected to practice on Wednesday due to his minor hamstring strain, according to head coach Doug Marrone. Fournette had 14 carries for 41 yards and caught three passes for 14 yards before leaving in the first half in Week 1 against the Giants. As a result, […]

Kenneth Dixon Expected To Miss Several Weeks

Baltimore Ravens running back Kenneth Dixon (knee) is expected to miss several weeks with his knee injury, according to a source that told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Dixon had a game-high 44 rushing yards and a touchdown in Week 1 against the Bills before leaving with his injury. He has missed 20 of a potential […]

Aaron Rodgers To Work With Rehabbing Players

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy told reporters that quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) will work with other rehabbing players on Wednesday at practice. McCarthy emphasized that Rodgers hasn't had a setback and he remains day-to-day. McCarthy still won't say one way or another if Rodgers will suit up this week, but we'd be pretty […]

David Wright Takes Live BP Tuesday

New York Mets third baseman David Wright (shoulder) took live batting practice on Tuesday against two of the team's top-ranked pitching prospects in Justin Dunn and David Peterson. Wright is expected to talk with chief operating officer Jeff Wilpon before the Mets leave for their final road trip of the season on Thursday about his […]

Jedd Gyorko Activated From DL

The St. Louis Cardinals activated third baseman Jedd Gyorko (groin) from the 10-day disabled list on Wednesday. Gyorko will probably play sparingly down the stretch as the Cardinals try to secure a playoff spot. The 29-year-old is batting .267/.348/.436 on the season with 11 home runs and 43 RBI. He's really only an option in […]

Luis Urias Unlikely To Return This Year

San Diego Padres second baseman Luis Urias (hamstring), the No. 4 prospect in the organization, pulled his left hamstring on Tuesday and manager Andy Green said it's "doubtful" that Urias returns this year. Urias was called up last month and went 10-for-48 with two home runs in his first taste of big league action. Infielders […]

Alex Wood Won't Start Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Alex Wood will not make the start Sunday against the Cardinals and could be pushed back to Monday against the Rockies, according to manager Dave Roberts. Ross Stripling would be an option to go on Sunday, but it depends on how his outing against the Reds goes on Wednesday. Wood […]

Lance McCullers Jr. To Throw Bullpen Saturday

Houston Astros starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. (forearm) will head to Florida to throw a bullpen session on Saturday. McCullers threw around 40 pitches in a bullpen session on Tuesday and said it was a step forward, so he's obviously getting closer to a return and should be able to make a few starts before […]

C.J. Prosise May Be Moved To Receiver

Seattle Seahawks running back C.J. Prosise may be moved to receiver with the team hurting at the position with Doug Baldwin (knee) expected to miss a couple of weeks. “We’ve been talking about it,” head coach Pete Carroll told reporters on Tuesday. “He does have the background [with] a couple years in college.” Prosise is […]

DeSean Jackson Very Questionable For Week 2

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson (shoulder, concussion) is dealing with a shoulder injury and is a major question mark to play in Week 2 against the Eagles. Jackson is also dealing with a concussion he suffered late in the Week 1 win against the Saints. Two injuries are definitely not better than one. […]

Maikel Franco Injured After Fall Into Camera Well

Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Maikel Franco (shoulder, neck) left the game early on Tuesday after falling over the railing while trying to make a catch in foul territory. He is dealing with a shoulder contusion and neck tightness and could easily be held out a few days as a result. It's a shame, as Franco […]

Johan Camargo Injured Tuesday

Atlanta Braves third baseman Johan Camargo (groin) left the game early on Tuesday with left groin tightness. Camargo was hitless in two plate appearances before departing the contest. He has held his own as the regular third baseman this year, hitting .274/.354/.468 with 18 home runs, 58 runs scored and 70 RBI on the season. […]

Alex Cobb's Blister Issues Resurface

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Alex Cobb (finger) left his start early against the A's with a blister that opened up on his finger in the second inning on Tuesday. Manager Buck Showalter said Cobb will be day-to-day and said he expects the pitcher to make another start this season. The right-hander allowed a hit while […]

Vernon Hargreaves May Have Serious Injury

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Vernon Hargreaves (shoulder) may have a serious shoulder injury and will be examined by Dr. James Andrews on Wednesday. Hargreaves was injured late in the Week 1 win over the Saints and could be looking at an extended absence, possibly for the rest of the season. With Brent Grimes also hurt, […]

Pharoh Cooper May Need Surgery

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Pharoh Cooper (ankle) "might be out for some time," according to head coach Sean McVay. It's sounding like Cooper may need to undergo surgery. Cooper is mainly a special teams kick returner, so while he doesn't have individual fantasy value, his loss could affect the return game a bit. LA's […]

Martavis Bryant Re-Signing With Raiders

The Oakland Raiders are re-signing wide receiver Martavis Bryant to a one-year deal on Tuesday, according to a source. The Raiders released Bryant recently because they were concerned about a suspension for violating the league's substance-abuse policy again. There's still a chance that Bryant could be suspended for an entire year by the NFL, which […]

Doug Baldwin Could Miss A Couple Weeks

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said wide receiver Doug Baldwin (knee) could be a out "a couple weeks" after suffering a Grade 2 partial MCL tear in his right knee in Week 1 against the Broncos. The Seahawks aren't expecting to have Baldwin available in Week 2 on Monday night against the Bears or […]

Brandon Belt Still Dealing With Knee Soreness

San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt (knee) remains out of the lineup again on Tuesday due to more knee soreness. With the Giants not in playoff contention, Belt will likely see many more rest days down the stretch, and he could need offseason surgery to fix his knee. Don't expect much meaningful contributions from […]

Felix Hernandez Feeling OK

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Felix Hernandez (hamstring) said his hamstring feels "okay" and that doctors told him he's dealing with a low-grade strain. Manager Scott Servais said the training staff will decide if he's cleared to pitch on Saturday against the Angels. If Hernandez can't go, starter Erasmo Ramirez would move up a day. King […]

Nick Tropeano's Season Is Over

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Nick Tropeano (shoulder) will not pitch again this year after he had a setback in his recovery last week. He will receive a platelet-rich plasma shot in his shoulder on Friday, which he hopes will take care of the bursitis in his arm without surgery. The 28-year-old wasn't much of […]

Hisashi Iwakuma Heading Back To Japan

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Hisashi Iwakuma will head back to Japan to continue his playing career. Iwakuma had not pitched at all in 2018 and last pitched in the major leagues in May of 2017 due to right shoulder issues. He obviously wasn't anywhere close to the fantasy radar this season.

Jean Segura Out With Virus

Seattle Mariners shortstop Jean Segura (illness) is out of the starting lineup due to some sort of virus that is going around the clubhouse on Tuesday. Segura is one of the most valuable shortstops in fantasy, hitting .310 with nine homers, 60 RBI, 82 runs scored and 20 stolen bases on the year. Consider him […]

Several Others Work Out For Patriots

The New England Patriots also tried out free-agent running backs Orleans Darkwa, Charles Sims and wide receiver Brandon Tate on Tuesday. Tate was the team's third-round pick in 2009. New England already signed wideouts Corey Coleman and Bennie Fowler and running back Kenjon Barner on Tuesday, so it's unclear if they will add any more […]

Ryder Jones To Have Multiple Procedures Wednesday

San Francisco Giants first baseman Ryder Jones (knee), who will have surgery to fix his patella on Wednesday, will also have a cleanup procedure to fix tendinitis in the same knee. He expects to hit off a tee and take ground balls by Christmas after his knee was bugging him all season. Jones was going […]

Matt Davidson Out With General Soreness

Chicago White Sox third baseman/first baseman Matt Davidson is out of the lineup on Tuesday with general soreness after playing first base extensively when Jose Abreu was on the shelf. Davidson has now been on the bench the last two games. The slugging corner infielder has 20 homers and 58 RBI on the year, but […]

Aaron Judge To Hit Wednesday

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said outfielder Aaron Judge (wrist) will take batting practice again on Wednesday. "We have a little bit of an idea of timeline but I'd rather it continue to unfold every day. He'll hit again tomorrow. I think the work is pretty extensive hopefully over the weekend. We'll probably have […]
