The MRI exam on Atlanta Falcons rookie wide receiver Calvin Ridley (ankle) came back pretty clean, according to a source.

Wesley Woodyard Expected To Return This Week

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said linebacker Wesley Woodyard (shoulder) should be able to return in Week 7 against the Chargers in London. It's great news for a defense that is losing Derrick Morgan (shoulder) for at least a few weeks. Tennessee's defense will need to tighten up for a trip to London to […]

Derrick Morgan Out A Few Weeks

Tennessee Titans linebacker Derrick Morgan (shoulder) will be out for a few weeks, according to head coach Mike Vrabel. With Wesley Woodyard also dealing with an injury and sitting out in the Week 6 shutout loss to the Ravens, the interior of Tennessee's defense is compromised at the moment. Morgan had only eight tackles on […]

D'Onta Foreman Unlikely To Return This Week

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said it's unlikely that the team activates running back D'Onta Foreman (Achilles) this week. With Lamar Miller underwhelming in the backfield after his 98-yard performance in the season opener, Foreman could have an opening to steal a lot of touches in the second half of the season if he […]

Charles Harris Week-To-Week

Miami Dolphins defensive end Charles Harris (calf) is "week-to-week" after injuring himself in practice last Friday, according to head coach Adam Gase.

Ryan Tannehill Day-To-Day

Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase said that quarterback Ryan Tannehill (shoulder) is day-to-day after sitting out of the Week 6 overtime win over the Bears.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield (ankle) turned his ankle in the Week 6 loss to the Chargers, and it limited his effectiveness, according to a source.

Chris Sale In Hospital With Stomach Issue

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale (illness) was admitted to Massachusetts General Hospital on Sunday after dealing with a stomach illness.

Ronald Leary Could Have Torn Achilles

Denver Broncos left guard Ronald Leary (Achilles) is feared to have suffered a torn Achilles in the Week 6 loss to the Rams, according to a source. It would be a big blow to an offensive line that is nothing special in front of a very mediocre Case Keenum under center. Expect Max Garcia to […]

Case Keenum To Remain Broncos Quarterback

Denver Broncos head coach Vance Joseph gave quarterback Case Keenum a vote of confidence after the Week 6 loss to the Rams. “Case is our quarterback," Joseph said.

Patriots Playmakers Are Active Against Chiefs

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (ankle), rookie running back Sony Michel (knee) and wide receivers Josh Gordon (hamstring) and Chris Hogan (thigh) are all active on Sunday night against the Chiefs.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Tavon Austin (groin) suffered a groin injury in the second half of Week 6 against the Jaguars and has been ruled out for the rest of the game.

Justin Pugh Suffers Broken Hand

Arizona Cardinals right guard Justin Pugh (hand) said that he suffered a broken left hand in the Week 6 loss to the Vikings. It's another bad sign for a beleaguered offensive line, although Pugh could wind up playing through the injury and wearing a cast. Jeremy Vujnovich would likely take over if Pugh has to […]

Marcus Johnson Suffers Ankle Injury In Week 6

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Marcus Johnson (ankle) suffered an ankle injury in the Week 6 loss to the Jets and was carted off the field late in the game, according to head coach Frank Reich.

Derek Carr's Shoulder Injury Not Believed To Be Serious

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr's (shoulder) injury isn't believed to be serious. With Oakland's bye coming in Week 7, he may not have to miss a game.

Mike Hughes Could Have Torn ACL

The Minnesota Vikings fear that rookie cornerback Mike Hughes, their first-round pick, suffered a torn ACL in the Week 6 win over the Cardinals, according to league sources.
