Hue Jackson Names Baker Mayfield The Starter

Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson officially named quarterback Baker Mayfield as the starter moving forward. "I informed the group this morning that we're going to start Baker Mayfield and Tyrod will be the backup if healthy," Jackson said. This was not a secret after Taylor suffered a concussion right before halftime on Thursday night […]

Richard Sherman To Miss A Few Weeks

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman (calf) will be out for a few weeks with a mild calf strain, according to a source. Sherman had to be helped off the field in the Week 3 loss to the Chiefs. Jaquiski Tartt was out on Sunday, so the Niners secondary is extremely vulnerable right now. That's […]

Jay Ajayi, Darren Sproles Expected Back This Week

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said running backs Jay Ajayi (back) and Darren Sproles (hamstring) are both expected to return in Week 4 against the Titans, although both are still considered day-to-day. Both Ajayi and Sproles will have to practice this week in order to play, but right now it's looking good. If Ajayi […]

Tyrod Taylor Not Practicing Monday

Cleveland Browns quarterback Tyrod Taylor (concussion) is not practicing on Monday as the team comes off their Thursday night win last week. Taylor will have to pass through the concussion protocol this week in order to be active in Week 4. Even if he clears it, though, he'll be holding a clipboard for rookie Baker […]

Alshon Jeffery Still Not Cleared For Contact

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said that wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) is still not cleared for contact. Jeffery still has yet to make his season debut, and his status for Week 4 is up in the air as of now. Pederson said on Monday that Jeffery is "getting close" to returning to the […]

Dan Jennings To Serve As Opener Monday

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Dan Jennings will serve as the opener in the first game of a crucial series against the Cardinals on Monday. It will be Jennings' first career start after 381 career relief appearances. The left-hander has a 3.23 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 45 strikeouts in 64 innings over 71 appearances for Milwaukee […]

Tyler Anderson Scratched From Monday Start

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Tyler Anderson (shoulder) has been scratched from his start on Monday against the Phillies due to left shoulder soreness. Instead, Jon Gray will take his place. It's unclear if Anderson will be able to make another start before the end of the regular season on Sunday. Gray was passed over in […]

Trent Williams To Have Minor Surgery

Washington Redskins left tackle Trent Williams (knee) will undergo a minor procedure on his knee on Tuesday, but he is expected to be ready to play on Monday night against the Saints in Week 5 after the team's bye. Williams is one of the better left tackles in the NFL. With the team on their […]

Ricardo Allen Suffers Torn Achilles Sunday

Atlanta Falcons safety Ricardo Allen (Achilles) suffered a torn Achilles in the Week 3 loss to the Saints and is out for the rest of the season, according to a source.

William Hayes Has Torn ACL

Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase said defensive end William Hayes (knee) will miss the rest of the season after tearing his ACL in the Week 3 win over the Raiders. The injury occurred when Hayes was trying to avoid putting his body weight on the quarterback during a hit. Hayes had four tackles and […]

Sean Lee Injures Other Hamstring

Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett said linebacker Sean Lee (hamstring) injured his other hamstring in the Week 3 loss to the Seahawks. “We'll see, same deal, but you never know,” Lee said. “Hopefully it will be a quick turnaround.” Neither Lee nor Garrett seemed optimistic that Lee would be ready for Week 4, and […]

Evan Engram Week-To-Week

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (knee) is dealing with a sprained MCL and is considered week-to-week, according to a source. Engram caught his only target in the Week 3 win over the Texans for 19 yards before departing. Expect the tight end to miss at least one game with this injury and possibly […]

Pedro Strop Hasn't Thrown Off Mound

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Pedro Strop (hamstring) has been playing catch but has yet to throw off a mound. He's been out since Sept. 13 and was optimistic he could return for the final week of the regular season. Despite Strop's optimism, it seems highly unlikely that he'll pitch in the final week of the […]

Christian Yelich To Be Re-Evaluated Monday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (elbow) left the game early on Sunday after he was hit by a pitch in the seventh inning, and he'll be re-evaluated on Monday despite being listed as day-to-day. Yelich leads the National League with a .322 batting average and is an MVP candidate. "He's doing OK," Milwaukee manager Craig […]

Andrelton Simmons Hopes To Play Monday

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Andrelton Simmons (knee), who left the game early on Sunday, said his right knee is sore but doesn't think the injury is serious. He's hoping he can play on Monday. Simmons was hitless in three plate appearances on Sunday before leaving. He'll be day-to-day, but don't be surprised if the Angels […]

Xander Bogaerts Day-To-Day

Updating a previous report, Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts (shoulder) is day-to-day after leaving the game Sunday night as a precaution after injuring his shoulder while swinging. The Red Sox are being careful with the top seed in the American League locked up and just a week left in the regular season. Bogaerts has […]

Xander Bogaerts Injured Sunday Night

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts (shoulder) left the game early on Sunday night after injuring his left shoulder on a swing. Bogaerts had a single and two walks in three plate appearances before departing the game. This could be concerning for a Boston team looking for another World Series ring this year. Expect Boston […]

Daniel Mengden To Start Monday

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Daniel Mengden will get the start on Monday against the Mariners, which will push Brett Anderson and Edwin Jackson each back a day. Mengden hasn't been terrible this year, but he hasn't started a game for the A's since June 23, so he'll be extra risky for those in AL-only leagues […]

Cardinals Not Committing To QB Heading Into Next Week

Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks said he will watch tape on quarterbacks Sam Bradford and Josh Rosen before he determines a starter for next week against the Seahawks. Bradford had three more turnovers and was benched late in the fourth quarter with the game on the line in favor of the rookie. It was […]

Marvin Jones, Darius Slay Playing Sunday Night

Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones (ankle) and cornerback Darius Slay (concussion) are both active in Week 3 against the Patriots on Sunday night. Jones is a WR4/flex option in PPR formats in what could be a high-scoring affair. Slay's presence in the secondary is good news for a Lions secondary trying to slow Tom […]

Josh Gordon Inactive Sunday Night

New England Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon (hamstring) is inactive for Week 3 against the Lions on Sunday night. Gordon's hamstring isn't believed to be that serious, so he should be able to make his debut with the team next week. The bigger issue is Gordon's ability to learn the offense and gain trust with […]

Anthony Miller May Have Suffered Season-Ending Injury

Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Anthony Miller (shoulder) appeared to dislocate his left shoulder in the Week 3 game against the Cardinals. Miller's injury will likely lead to surgery, which could be season-ending. The rookie wideout had four catches for 35 yards in the game before departing in the second half. It's a disappointing injury […]

Ezekiel Ansah Out Again Sunday Night

Detroit Lions defensive end Ezekiel Ansah (shoulder) is inactive in Week 3 against the Patriots on Sunday night. It's the second straight missed game from Ansah, who is the heart and soul of Detroit's pass rush. It's good news for Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and the rest of the offense. Wide receiver Brandon Powell and […]

Aqib Talib Leaves Game Against Chargers

Los Angeles Rams cornerback Aqib Talib (ankle) left the game early with an ankle injury in the Week 3 game against the Chargers. This is potentially troublesome with fellow cornerback Marcus Peters being ruled out of the game earlier with a potentially serious injury. If the Rams lose both of their lockdown cornerbacks, they could […]

Steven Souza Jr. Removed From Game Sunday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Steven Souza Jr. (back) was pulled from the game early on Sunday with a lower back spasm. Souza was hitless with a strikeout in two plate appearances to drop his season line to .217/.306/.354 with four homers, 28 RBI and six steals on the year. He has been incredibly cold this month […]

Charlie Morton To Make Another Start This Year

Houston Astros manager A.J. Hinch said that starting pitcher Charlie Morton (shoulder) will make another start this year. Hinch said the team pulled Morton after an inning on Sunday against the Angels as a precaution because his velocity was down. It's good news, but Morton's shoulder injury is something to keep an eye on, as […]

Marcus Peters Suffers Calf Injury Sunday

Los Angeles Rams shutdown cornerback Marcus Peters (calf) suffered a calf injury in Week 3 against the Chargers and will not return to the game, according to a source. Peters' injury looked serious enough that it could keep him out of multiple games beyond Sunday, but we'll have to wait and see what tests show. […]

A.J. Green Doesn't Think Injury Is Serious

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green (groin) doesn't think his injury is serious and should be good to go next week against the Falcons. Green left the game early in Week 3 against the Panthers and never returned. He caught five passes for 58 yards before leaving, so it wasn't a total loss for his […]

Chase Anderson Won't Start Monday

Milwaukee Brewers manager Craig Counsell said starting pitcher Chase Anderson won't make the start against the Cardinals in a big game on Monday. Instead, the team will go with a bullpen game, and Anderson will be available to pitch. Anderson has a 3.06 ERA in four starts this month but has failed to go beyond […]

Evan Engram To Undergo Tests Monday

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (knee) was walking around with a brace on his right knee after the Week 3 win over the Texans, and he thinks he'll be fine for Week 4 but said it "didn't feel right." Engram will go for more tests on Monday. It'll be a shame if Engram […]
