While Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles will start in Week 8 in London against the Eagles after being benched in Week 7, backup Cody Kessler will receive practice repetitions with the first-team offense, according to a source.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott announced that quarterback Derek Anderson will start in Week 8 against the Patriots on Monday night with rookie Josh Allen (elbow) set to miss another week.

Danny Amendola, Mike Gesicki Limited Monday

In an estimation of the injury report, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola (shoulder) and rookie tight end Mike Gesicki (shoulder) would've both been limited in practice on Monday. Both should be fine to play this Thursday against the Texans. With Albert Wilson (hip) and Kenny Stills (groin) both out, Amendola and Gesicki could see […]

Sandy Leon To Catch In Game 1

Boston Red Sox catcher Sandy Leon, who served as starter Chris Sale's personal catcher for most of the year, will start behind the plate in Game 1 of the World Series on Tuesday. Leon is the much weaker bat than Christian Vazquez, as he hit just .177/.232/.279 with five home runs and 22 RBI in […]

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw will start Game 1 of the World Series against the Red Sox on Tuesday.

The Oakland Raiders sent wide receiver Amari Cooper to the Dallas Cowboys on Monday in exchange for a first-round pick, according to a source.

Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks said the team won't be trading cornerback Patrick Peterson. “We’re not trading Patrick. That’s out of the question," Wilks said.

Sony Michel Considered Week-To-Week

Updating a previous report, New England Patriots rookie running back Sony Michel's (knee) MRI exam showed no structural damage, and he will be considered week-to-week, according to a source.

Amari Cooper Will Be Traded To Cowboys

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Amari Cooper will be traded to the Dallas Cowboys, according to a source. Cooper is coming off a concussion in Week 6 in London, but apparently he's fine.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Kwon Alexander's (knee) MRI exam confirmed a torn ACL, according to a source. It will keep him sidelined for the rest of the season.

Patrick Peterson Asks For Trade

Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson has asked the team to trade him before the Oct. 30 deadline, according to league sources.

Arizona's […]

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills (groin) suffered a groin strain in the fourth quarter of the Week 7 loss to the Lions and will undergo an MRI exam on Monday.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson (hip) suffered a hip injury in Week 7 that could keep him out for the rest of the season, according to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus. “The best case scenario is that he would miss a few weeks," Rosenhaus said.
