San Francisco 49ers tight ends George Kittle (knee) and Garrett Celek (quadriceps) and cornerbacks Richard Sherman (calf) and Jimmie Ward (hamstring) were all limited in practice on Thursday.

Darrius Heyward-Bey Missing From Practice

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey (ankle) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Heyward-Bey looks doubtful to play in Week 6 against the Bengals. He has yet to record a catch in 2018 and remains well off the fantasy radar.

Giovani Bernard, Tyler Kroft Out Again Thursday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard (knee) and tight end Tyler Kroft (foot) both missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Neither player is expected to play in Week 6 against the Steelers, although Bernard could return in Week 7. With Bernard likely out, Joe Mixon will be a low-end RB1 in a […]

Chris Hogan Misses Practice Thursday

New England Patriots wide receiver Chris Hogan (thigh) did not practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. It's a mid-week downgrade, which usually isn't a good sign for said player's Sunday availability. Hogan was unable to take advantage of Julian Edelman's four-game suspension and has a disappointing 11 catches on 19 targets for 143 […]

Duke Johnson Frustrated With His Role

Cleveland Browns running back Duke Johnson has been frustrated with his lack of a role in the backfield through five games. Johnson led the team last year with 74 catches for 693 yards and three receiving touchdowns. He also had 82 carries for 348 yards and four more TDs. Johnson has just 10 catches for […]

Larry Fitzgerald, Jermaine Gresham Limited

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald (back, hamstring) and tight end Jermaine Gresham (Achilles) were both limited in practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday.

Dalvin Cook Returns To Full Practice

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) returned to a full practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. It looks like he's on track to return for a great matchup against the Cardinals in Week 6 after sitting out in Week 5. Cook has been a disappointment to his fantasy owners this year because […]

Matt Breida Walking Without A Limp

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) was walking around without a noticeable limp on Thursday despite missing practice. However, both of his ankles were wrapped and he wasn't in an orthopedic boot. Breida hasn't been ruled out for Monday night against the Packers yet, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. Breida will need […]

T.Y. Hilton Still Out Thursday

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (chest, hamstring) remained out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday.

With tight end Jack Doyle also unlikely to play and now Eric Ebron questionable with multiple injuries, the Colts could be […]

Jalen Ramsey, Malik Jackson Practicing Thursday

Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey (knee) and defensive tackle Malik Jackson (back) both returned to practice on Thursday. Ramsey was limited while Jackson practiced in full. Both players on are on track to play in a nice matchup with the Cowboys inept passing game in Week 6. Jacksonville's defense/special teams has been a strong play […]

Ezekiel Elliott, Coley Beasley, Tavon Austin Practice In Full

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (knee) and wide receivers Cole Beasley (ankle) and Tavon Austin (shoulder) all practiced in full on Thursday. They should all be fine to suit up in a tough matchup against the Jaguars in Week 6. Elliott is really the only offensive player in Dallas worth starting in most fantasy […]

DeMarcus Lawrence Returns To Practice

Dallas Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence (shoulder) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Lawrence is on track to play in Week 6 against the Jaguars, where he'll be a must-start in IDP leagues. He has 22 tackles and 5.5 sacks through five games in 2018.

Broncos Supporting Vance Joseph

Denver Broncos chief executive officer Joe Ellis said the team is supporting head coach Vance Joseph as they look to turn the team around after finishing 5-11 last year.

Lamar Miller, Jadeveon Clowney Practice In Full

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller (chest) and defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (illness) both practiced in full on Thursday. Miller was active but didn't play last Sunday night. He should return in Week 6 against the Bills, but how much he'll be used in the game plan will be in question. Miller has yet to […]

Ravens Excited About Hayden Hurst

Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg said first-round rookie tight end Hayden Hurst is on the rise after he made his NFL debut in Week 5. "He was knocking a little bit of rust off last week, and then, man I was excited, because he practiced really well [Wednesday]," Mornhinweg said. The 25-year-old rookie had […]

Christin Stewart, Jordan Zimmermann Undergo Surgery

Detroit Tigers outfield prospect Christin Stewart (abdomen) and starting pitcher Jordan Zimmermann (abdomen) underwent core muscle surgery in Philadelphia on Thursday.

Brandin Cooks, Cooper Kupp To Practice Thursday

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said wide receivers Brandin Cooks (concussion) and Cooper Kupp (concussion) will take part in individual drills on Thursday. If they avoid setbacks, they will practice in full on Friday and be good to go for Week 6 against the Broncos. It's great news for a high-flying Rams offense […]

No Timetable For Sean Lee

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee (hamstring) did not practice on Thursday, but defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli thinks Lee "is getting closer and closer" to returning. However, there is no timetable for his return and he's considered week-to-week. The good news is that Lee did some individual work on Thursday. He's been out since Week 3. […]

Marquise Goodwin Practicing In Full

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (hamstring, quadriceps) is a "full go" in practice on Thursday and appears to be on track to return in Week 6 against the Packers on Monday night after sitting out last Sunday. Goodwin was a popular breakout candidate in training camp, but injuries have limited him to just […]

Jhoulys Chacin Lined Up For Game 3 Of NLCS

After Milwaukee Brewers starting pitchers Gio Gonzalez and Wade Miley go in Games 1 and 2, respectively, in the National League Championship Series against the Dodgers, Jhoulys Chacin will start Game 3 at Dodger Stadium on Monday. Chacin has pitched well so far in the postseason and has been the team's most reliable starter all […]

Gio Gonzalez To Start Game 1 Against Dodgers

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Gio Gonzalez will start Game 1 of the National League Championship Series against the Dodgers on Friday.

Matt Breida, Pierre Garcon, George Kittle Out Thursday

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that running back Matt Breida (ankle), wide receivers Pierre Garcon (shoulder) and Trent Taylor (back) and tight end George Kittle (knee) are all sitting out of practice on Thursday.

Yankees Expected To Pursue Patrick Corbin

The New York Yankees are expected to pursue Arizona Diamondbacks impending free-agent starting pitcher Patrick Corbin this winter, according to sources. Yankees impending free-agent starters J.A.

DeVante Parker Unsure Of Week 6 Availability

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (quadriceps) is unsure if he will be active in Week 6 against the Bears.

Taylor Lewan Returns To Practice

Tennessee Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan (foot) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Lewan should be able to play in Week 6 against the Ravens. He's one of the NFL's best left tackles, so him being on the field is always good news for quarterback Marcus Mariota.

Devonta Freeman To Take Part In Walkthrough

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said running back Devonta Freeman (foot) will take part in the team's walkthrough practice on Thursday, as his foot remains sore. Freeman is dealing with a bone contusion in his foot, which isn't expected to be a long-term injury. Still, it could keep him out in Week 6 in […]

Seahawks Won't Force Touches To Rashaad Penny

Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer said the team won't force touches to rookie running back Rashaad Penny after he didn't play a single snap on offense in Week 5. “We’re not going to force it,” Schottenheimer said Wednesday. “I mean, this is a long season. This is a season we’re going to need them […]

Leonard Williams Added To Injury Report

New York Jets defensive tackle Leonard Williams (back) was added to the injury report and didn't practice on Thursday. Williams has been effective for the Jets this year with 16 tackles and three sacks through five games.

Mitch Moreland To Hit Thursday

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland (hamstring) will hit on Thursday, and the team still has time to decide whether they want to include him on their roster for the American League Championship Series against the Astros. Moreland was beat up down the stretch and didn't play in the final two games of the […]

Eduardo Nunez OK For ALCS

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said infielder Eduardo Nunez (ankle) is OK after slipping on the final play of the Division Series win over the Yankees.
