The Atlanta Falcons are likely to sign free-agent kicker Giorgio Tavecchio to replace Matt Bryant (hamstring) in Week 7 against the Giants on Monday night, according to a source.

Marcus Johnson Put On IR, Dontrelle Inman Signed

The Indianapolis Colts placed wide receiver Marcus Johnson (ankle) on the Injured Reserve on Tuesday and signed free-agent wide receiver Dontrelle Inman in a corresponding move. Inman spent time with the Chargers and Bears in 2017. He had 23 catches for 334 yards and a touchdown in eight games with Chicago to close out the […]

Tavon Austin Unlikely To Play In Week 7

Dallas Cowboys owners Jerry Jones said wide receiver Tavon Austin (groin) is unlikely to play in Week 7 against the Redskins. Jones said Austin's injury is similar to the one that cornerback Morris Claiborne dealt with in 2016. That injury caused Claiborne to miss nine games that season. While Austin may be back sooner than […]

Corey Clement Wasn't On Snap Count In Week 6

Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Mike Groh said running back Corey Clement wasn't on a "pitch count" last Thursday against the Giants after missing two games with a quadriceps injury. Clement played just 26 offensive snaps, while Wendell Smallwood was in on 44 offensive snaps. "He adds a lot to our offense both as a runner […]

The Philadelphia Eagles are holding out hope that wide receiver Mike Wallace (leg), who fractured his fibula in Week 2, will be able to return this year.

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (knee) is taking part in practice on Tuesday. Engram hasn't played since Sept. 23 when he sprained his MCL, but he was close to returning last Thursday and is on track to play on Monday night against the Falcons with extra time to get healthy. He'll have a […]

Josh Gordon's Role Expanding

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said that wide receiver Josh Gordon's role is expanding in the offense.

Aaron Rodgers Wants To Shed Brace After Bye

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) said he told his doctor that he wants to remove his brace after the team's Week 7 bye, but he'll have to see how his knee responds and he'll likely have another MRI exam. Rodgers has thrown for 867 yards and five touchdowns in his last two games, […]

Austin Barnes To Catch In Game 4

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Austin Barnes will be behind the plate instead of Yasmani Grandal in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series on Tuesday.

Gio Gonzalez To Start Game 4 Of NLCS

Milwaukee Brewers manager Craig Counsell said that starting pitcher Gio Gonzalez will start Game 4 of the National League Championship Series against the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Texas is looking to replace Jeff Banister […]

Eduardo Nunez To Play Third Base Tuesday

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said infielder Eduardo Nunez will play third base over Rafael Devers in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series on Tuesday against Astros left-hander Dallas Keuchel. It makes sense with Devers hitting just .229/.272/.347 with three of his 21 homers against lefties on the year, but is just […]

Chris Sale To Re-Join Team Tuesday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale (illness) was released from the hospital on Monday and has been cleared to rejoin the team in Houston on Tuesday for Game 3 of the American League Championship Series.

Steelers Not Expecting Le'Veon Bell This Week

The Pittsburgh Steelers are not expecting running back Le'Veon Bell to show up this week despite previous reports saying that he would return during the team's Week 7 bye, according to a team source. While that doesn't mean that Bell won't report later this week or even early next week, it's not a good sign. […]

Trent Taylor, Dante Pettis Ruled Out Monday Night

San Francisco 49ers wide receivers Trent Taylor (back) and Dante Pettis (knee) have both officially been ruled out for Monday night against the Packers. Pettis was ruled out early last week, while Taylor was doubtful to play all along. Tight end Cole Wick is a healthy scratch. Marquise Goodwin, Pierre Garcon and tight end George […]

Pierre Garcon Active Against Packers

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Pierre Garcon (knee, shoulder) is active on Monday night against the Packers. The veteran Garcon was always expected to play, but he'll likely be at less than 100 percent as the No. 2 behind Marquise Goodwin. Garcon doesn't have a high ceiling these days, but he has some WR4/flex appeal […]

Wade Miley Lined Up For Game 5

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Wade Miley will pitch on short rest for Game 5 of the National League Championship Series against the Dodgers on Wednesday. In 10 1/3 innings over two starts in the postseason this year, the left-hander hasn't allowed a single run while walking one and striking out five. Miley has been surprisingly […]

Brian McCann, Tony Kemp To Start In Game 3

Houston Astros catcher Brian McCann and outfielder Tony Kemp will start in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series against Red Sox starter Nathan Eovaldi on Tuesday.

Jose Altuve Could Serve As DH In Game 3

Houston Astros manager A.J. Hinch is "considering" using second baseman Jose Altuve (knee) as the designated hitter in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series against the Red Sox on Tuesday.

Quincy Enunwa Has High Ankle Sprain

New York Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa's (ankle) MRI exam revealed a high ankle sprain, according to a source. Enunwa could miss up to a month with the injury, so he's droppable in standard-sized leagues for now. In his absence, expect Jermaine Kearse -- who had nine catches on 10 targets in Week 6 -- […]

George Kittle Could Be Inactive Monday

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (knee) could be in danger of being inactive on Monday night against the Packers after the team promoted Ross Dwelley from the practice squad to the active roster.

Raiders Seeking First-Round Pick For Amari Cooper

The Oakland Raiders are seeking a first-round pick in a trade for wide receiver Amari Cooper, according to a source informed of the situation.

Jaguars Re-Sign Rashad Greene

The Jacksonville Jaguars placed wide receiver/punt returner Jaydon Mickens (ankle) on Injured Reserve on Monday and re-signed wideout Rashad Greene to the active roster in a corresponding move. Mickens fractured his left ankle in the team's Week 6 loss to the Cowboys. Greene will simply provide depth behind wideouts Keelan Cole, Dede Westbrook, Donte Moncrief […]

Josh Allen Is Week-To-Week

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said rookie quarterback Josh Allen (elbow) will be evaluated on a week-to-week basis. It's not exactly clear what Allen did to his right elbow in the Week 6 loss to the Texans, but he's looking highly questionable to play in Week 7 against the Colts right now. If he's […]

Derek Carr Won't Miss A Start

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr (arm) is sore after being sacked six times in the Week 6 blowout loss to the Seahawks in London, but sources say that he will not miss a start. Carr was removed late in the game in favor of A.J. McCarron, but Carr pleaded the coaching staff to go back […]

Chris Taylor Out Of Lineup In Game 3

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Chris Taylor is not in the starting lineup for Game 3 of the National League Championship Series against Brewers right-hander Jhoulys Chacin. Cody Bellinger will start in center field and hit fifth. Taylor has been hot this postseason, going 6-for-12 with a triple, homer, four runs scored and three RBI, but […]

Anthony Iapoce To Become Cubs Hitting Coach

Texas Rangers hitting coach Anthony Iapoce is leaving the team for the same position with the Chicago Cubs, according to a source. Iapoce was the special assistant to the general manager with the Cubs before becoming the Rangers hitting coach in 2016. The Cubs fired Chili Davis as their hitting coach last week after just […]

Tyler Kroft Expected To Return This Year

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis said that tight end Tyler Kroft (foot) should return this season. Kroft is currently out indefinitely and should remain on the waiver wire in fantasy leagues. With Tyler Eifert (ankle) out for the year, C.J. Uzomah has become the main pass-catching tight end and is on the low-end TE1 […]
