Dodgers Call Up Julio Urias

The Los Angeles Dodgers recalled starting pitcher Julio Urias from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday. Urias worked his way back from left shoulder surgery in 2018 and had a 5.40 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and outstanding 14.7 K/9 over eight outings (six starts) over three minor league levels in just 11 2/3 innings. The Dodgers will […]

Bengals Comfortable With Joe Mixon's Week 1 Workload

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis said he liked running back Joe Mixon's number of catches (four) in Week 1 against the Colts and thinks the runner can carry the ball 22 times a game. Week 1 established that Mixon is the clear workhorse back for this team, with Giovani Bernard just picking up scraps […]

Trey Quinn, Cam Sims Have High Ankle Sprains

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said that both rookie wide receivers Trey Quinn and Cam Sims suffered high ankle sprains in Week 1 against the Cardinals. The team is still waiting to learn whether either player will need surgery. High ankle sprains usually require multiple weeks to recover from, so neither rookie will be […]

Titans Still Evaluating Marcus Mariota

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said that quarterback Marcus Mariota (elbow) is still being evaluated, and the team is hoping for good news. Mariota had to leave the Week 1 contest against the Dolphins and was experiencing numbness in his hand and fingers. That doesn't seem to be a good sign, but we'll wait […]

Panthers Won't Rush D.J. Moore

Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said the team won't rush rookie D.J. Moore because of the team's "plethora" of receivers. Plethora of receivers would be a very generous term to describe the team's receiver stable. Moore didn't receive a single target in Week 1 against Dallas and played very few snaps overall. However, tight […]

Kenneth Dixon Expected To Miss Time

Baltimore Ravens running back Kenneth Dixon (knee) doesn't have a definitive diagnosis on his injury yet, but he's expected to miss some time after limping off the field in the final two minutes of the Week 1 blowout win over the Bills. Dixon actually carried the ball more than starter Alex Collins, but it was […]

Aaron Rodgers Not A Lock For Week 2

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said "no decision has been made" about whether quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) will play in Week 2 against the Vikings. Rodgers injured his knee in the first half in Week 1 against the Bears and had to be carted off, but he returned in the second half and […]

Delanie Walker Not Expected Back This Year

Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker (ankle) suffered a broken ankle and ligament damage in Week 1 against the Dolphins, according to a source. As a result, he's not expected to play again this year. Walker was drafted as a TE1 by most fantasy owners once the elite names at the position came off the […]

Adam Wainwright Back From DL, Starting Monday

The St. Louis Cardinals activated starting pitcher Adam Wainwright (elbow) from the 60-day disabled list on Monday and moved starter Michael Wacha (oblique) to the 60-day DL in a corresponding move. Wainwright was solid on his rehab assignment, but he hasn't pitched since May 13 and wasn't effective in his four big league starts to […]

Jose Abreu Activated From DL

The Chicago White Sox activated first baseman Jose Abreu (groin) from the 10-day disabled list on Monday. He's been out since mid-August after being taken to the hospital and undergoing emergency testicular torsion surgery. The 33-year-old missed around three weeks because of the surgery. Abreu had a disappointing first half but has hit .330/.394/.652 through […]

Eagles Working Out Breshad Perriman

The Philadelphia Eagles are working out free-agent wide receiver Breshad Perriman on Monday, according to a source. Perriman was a first-round bust for the Ravens after catching only 43 passes for 576 yards and three touchdowns in three seasons. With the Eagles missing Alshon Jeffery and Mack Hollins in Week 1, they are looking for […]

Seantrel Henderson's Season Is Over

Houston Texans right tackle Seantrel Henderson (ankle) is out for the season after breaking his ankle in Week 1, according to head coach Bill O'Brien. Henderson will have surgery on Tuesday. While Henderson wasn't an elite right tackle, his loss hurts an already shaky offensive line. It's bad news for Houston's ground game and quarterback […]

Will Fuller Could Return In Week 2

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said he is hopeful that wide receiver Will Fuller (hamstring) will return in Week 2 against the Titans. Fuller was inactive for the Week 1 loss to the Patriots, but he could return and be quarterback Deshaun Watson's No. 2 target behind DeAndre Hopkins. Fuller has boom-or-bust fantasy potential […]

Ian Thomas Could Replace Greg Olsen

With Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (foot) likely out for an extended time, rookie Ian Thomas will have the first crack at replacing him moving forward. Chris Manhertz is another option. Jason Vander Laan could also be brought up from the practice squad to provide depth. Thomas, a fourth-round pick, has made the transition […]

Cam Newton Will Be Allowed To Run

Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator Norv Turner doesn't plan on limiting quarterback Cam Newton's identity and have him run less. Newton led both teams in rushing by halftime in Week 1 against the Cowboys and finished with a team-high 58 rushing yards and a touchdown in the win. Through the air, Newton was 17-for-26 for 161 […]

No Concussion For Randal Grichuk

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Randal Grichuk (head) had his concussion tests come back negative on Monday after he collided with an on-field security guard and his stool while diving for a foul ball on Sunday. He has been diagnosed with multiple facial contusions and abrasions and is listed as day-to-day, pending the results of another […]

Aaron Judge Still Has Pain In Wrist

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (wrist) could soon take batting practice on the field, but he continues to experience pain in his fractured right wrist. "The pain is not gone. It's still broken," Judge said, before adding, "I knew I was going to be back in some meaningful games here down the stretch. I'm […]

Daryl Williams To Have MRI Monday

Carolina Panthers right tackle Daryl Williams (knee) will undergo an MRI exam on Monday to assess his injury. Head coach Ron Rivera said that Williams' injury in Week 1 against the Cowboys is different than the MCL tear and patella dislocation that he suffered in training camp, according to a league source. Williams had to […]

Taylor Lewan Suffers Concussion

Tennessee Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan (head) suffered a concussion in Week 1 against the Dolphins and didn't return to the game. Lewan was hit by defensive lineman Andre Branch during an interception return. Lewan will be put through the concussion protocol this week and will probably be questionable for Week 2. That'll be bad […]

Trey Quinn, Cam Sims Injured Sunday

Washington Redskins rookie wide receivers Trey Quinn and Cam Sims both suffered ankle injuries in Week 1 against the Cardinals and didn't return to the game. Head coach Jay Gruden said both wideouts will have MRI exams on Monday, but the team won't know the extent of the injuries until then. With both rookies out […]

Doug Baldwin Has MCL Sprain

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said wide receiver Doug Baldwin (knee) is dealing with an MCL sprain after leaving the game in Week 1 against the Broncos. Baldwin didn't even record a catch in the season opener and was a bust for his fantasy owners. The silver lining here is the injury was to […]

Greg Olsen On Crutches

Updating a previous report, Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (foot) was on crutches and in a boot on his right foot after being ruled out in Week 1 against the Cowboys. It's the same foot that he had surgery on in 2017. It's a terrible sign and likely means that Olsen is facing an […]

Brandon Morrow Throws Light Bullpen

Chicago Cubs closer Brandon Morrow (biceps) threw a light bullpen session on Sunday as he attempts to return before the end of the season. Morrow is now a long shot to make it back before the playoffs, and he hasn't pitched since before the All-Star break with the Cubs. In his absence, Pedro Strop has […]

Ryder Jones Out For The Season

San Francisco Giants infielder Ryder Jones (knee) will miss the rest of the season after dislocating his knee on Sunday. “It’s a shame. The kid’s getting a chance to play up here and fix his swing, and that happens," manager Bruce Bochy said. Jones' 2015 season ended prematurely with a dislocated knee as well. Jones […]

Greg Olsen Injured, Won't Return

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (foot) was injured in Week 1 against the Cowboys and will not return. At least the veteran tight end caught two passes for 33 yards before returning. He was questionable for this game with a minor back injury, but he suffered another foot injury in the season opener. This […]

Wayne Gallman Expects To Play Next Week

New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman (knee), who injured his knee in Week 1 against the Jaguars, said he will be ready to go in Week 2. Gallman had been working as rookie Saquon Barkley's backup before exiting. He had one carry for negative-one yard and two catches for nine yards before returning. Gallman […]

Leonard Fournette Thinks He'll Play Next Week

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) said he thinks he'll play in Week 2 against the Patriots. Fournette was a bust for fantasy owners in Week 1 because of yet another soft-tissue injury. He ran nine times for 41 yards and caught three passes for 14 yards before leaving. T.J. Yeldon needs to be […]

DeSean Jackson Leaves With Concussion

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson (head) left the game early in Week 1 against the Saints with a concussion, and he has been ruled out. The game was well out of hand when D-Jax went down, so perhaps they removed him as a precaution. Head injuries are no joke, though, so Jackson might […]

Mike Evans Returns From Injury

Updating a previous report, Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans returned from an undisclosed injury in Week 1 against the Saints. Evans left briefly in the second half but later returned to score a long touchdown. He has blown up in the season opener for seven catches, 147 yards and a touchdown. For those […]

Earl Thomas Active Against Broncos

Seattle Seahawks strong safety Earl Thomas is active in Week 1 against the Broncos. Thomas was expected to play in the season opener despite reporting last week after a contract holdout. His presence is good news for Seattle's secondary, but the Legion of Boom is no more and the Seahawks defense/special teams is now more […]
