C.J. Mosley Practices On Thursday

Baltimore Ravens linebacker C.J. Mosley (knee) practiced on Thursday despite suffering a bone bruise on his knee last week. He was favoring his leg but took part in individual drills. It remains to be seen if Mosley will actually play in Week 3 against the Broncos, but this is a good sign that he's progressing […]

Alex Collins Returns To Practice

Baltimore Ravens running back Alex Collins (illness) was seen running routes and catching passes before individual drills on Thursday, suggesting he'll be fine for Week 3 against the Broncos. Collins missed practice on Wednesday. Collins should be fine for this weekend and will be a low-end RB2/high-end RB3. It's a bit concerning that he's losing […]

Antonio Brown Apologizes For Outburst

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown apologized on Thursday for his social media outburst this week and denied that he wanted to be traded. "Obviously I don’t want to be traded. I’m still grateful to put on my uniform, grateful to be part of this organization. I don’t take it for granted. Obviously it was […]

Jay Ajayi, Darren Sproles Miss Another Practice

Philadelphia Eagles running backs Jay Ajayi (back) and Darren Sproles (hamstring) both missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. That usually means a player won't play if they miss the first two days of practice. Sproles is more unlikely to play than Ajayi, but Ajayi is now looking to be on the wrong […]

Eric Berry Not Practicing Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) is out of practice again on Thursday. Berry hasn't practiced since early August and is highly unlikely to make his season debut in Week 3 against the 49ers. An already weak secondary should continue to struggle this weekend. That's great news for San Fran quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and […]

Sean Lee Returns To Practice

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee (hamstring) is doing individual drills on Thursday after missing practice on Wednesday. It's a good sign that the oft-injured linebacker will have a chance to play in Week 3 against the Seahawks. When he's playing, Lee is usually a strong IPD option for owners.

Darius Slay Out Of Practice Again Thursday

Detroit Lions cornerback Darius Slay (concussion) remains out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Slay must get in at least a limited practice on Friday to have a chance of playing on Sunday night against the Patriots, but it's not looking good right now. Slay is the team's best defensive back, so […]

Jadeveon Clowney Says He'll Play This Weekend

Houston Texans defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (back) said he will play in Week 3 against the Giants. We wouldn't hold the oft-injured pass rusher at his word just yet, but he does have an excellent matchup against an ineffective New York offensive line on Sunday if he plays. Clowney should be in IDP lineups if […]

Trai Turner Not Practicing Thursday

Carolina Panthers offensive guard Trai Turner (concussion) is missing practice for the second straight day on Thursday. It's not a good sign that Turner will be able to play in Week 3 against the Bengals. Carolina is also missing both of their starting left tackles, which will continue to make things difficult for quarterback Cam […]

Taylor Lewan Not Out Of Concussion Protocol

Tennessee Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan (concussion) said he's still in the league's concussion protocol, but it looks like he'll get in a limited practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Lewan will have to pass the protocol in order to play on Sunday against the Jaguars, but it looks like he's on track […]

Brent Grimes Says He'll Play On Monday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Brent Grimes (groin) said he will return to practice on Thursday and will play in Week 3 on Monday against the Steelers for the first time this season if everything goes as planned. Tampa's secondary has been very vulnerable to begin the season, so hopefully Grimes' return can help them slow […]

Marcus Mariota Trying To Build Strength In Hand

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota (elbow) has been trying to build strength in his hand in practice this week while dealing with a nerve issue in his elbow. "They way they explained it to me, it’s like when you strum a guitar string,” Mariota said. “When that string settles down, that’s kind of similar to […]

Teddy Bridgewater Is Saints Backup QB

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton said quarterback Teddy Bridgewater "absolutely" is the team's backup behind Drew Brees. "He's doing well," Payton said. "I'm pleased. ... He's a quick study and I think the (quarterback) room's doing well. I think right away, you can tell he got comfortable with what we're calling things, protections." […]

Cameron Meredith Making Progress

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton said that wide receiver Cameron Meredith is healthy and is making progress. Payton is hoping that Week 3 against the Falcons will be the week that they can get the receiver into the game plan. Does that mean Meredith will be active for the first time this year? […]

Offense To Be Paired Down For Sam Bradford

The Arizona Cardinals have decided to simplify their playbook heading into Week 3 against the Bears as a way to get more production from quarterback Sam Bradford and the rest of the offense. Through two weeks, the Cardinals have one touchdown. Bradford was 17-for-27 with just 90 yards in the Week 2 34-loss to the […]

DeVante Parker More Comfortable In Practice

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (finger) looks much more comfortable catching passes in practice this week. Parker was a full participant in practice on Wednesday and looks to be ready to make his season debut in Week 3 against the Raiders. It's not a lock yet, though, and Parker will be much too risky […]

LeSean McCoy Still In Non-Contact Jersey

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy (ribs) practiced in a non-contact jersey for the second straight day on Thursday. It suggests McCoy is in line to play in Week 3 against the Vikings, but he could be questionable and could be very limited if he does suit up. Buffalo's offensive line is terrible on top […]

T.J. Yeldon, Austin Seferian-Jenkins Expected To Return Thursday

Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon (ankle) and tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins (abdomen) are both expected to return to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. It's a good sign that both players are in line to be active in Week 3 against the Titans. Yeldon saw most of the work out of the […]

Alshon Jeffery May Not Return This Week

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) is making good progress, returned to individual drills last week and is expected to take another step forward in practice this week. However, he's still being called week-to-week by head coach Doug Pederson, and it's unlikely the receiver plays in Week 3 against the Colts. “Player sources said […]

Jarvis Landry Expected To Play Thursday

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry (knee), who is questionable for Thursday's game against the Jets with a knee injury, is expected to play. This was always the expectation, as Landry was limited on the short week. He's been a target hog like usual for Cleveland and should see even more looks with Josh Gordon […]

Aaron Rodgers Won't Practice Thursday

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) will work with the rehab group again on Thursday, which means he won't practice. The team is following the same format as last week when Rodgers didn't practice until Saturday. Rodgers played the whole game in Week 2 against the Vikings and while he clearly wasn't 100 percent, […]

T.Y. Hilton Says He's Fine

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (quadriceps), who was held out of practice on Wednesday, said he's fine. "I'm feeling good. I'm still getting there. I should be fine. Nothing to worry about," Hilton said Thursday. He played 54 of the team's 90 offensive snaps in the Week 2 win over the Redskins and had […]

Joe Mixon Feels Great After Surgery

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (knee) said he feels "great" and is walking after having arthroscopic knee surgery four days ago. He's expected to be out two to four weeks and is now going through the recovery process. "Just me going out there being comfortable cutting and running around to my comfortability," Mixon told […]

Nico Hoerner To Play In AFL

Chicago Cubs shortstop Nico Hoerner (elbow), the team's No. 6 prospect, is getting ready for the Arizona Fall League by working out at the team's facility in Arizona. The team's first-round pick this year was shut down in July with an injury to ligaments in his left elbow. He'll play for the Mesa Solar Sox, […]

Pedro Strop Expects To Return By End Of Season

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Pedro Strop (hamstring), who has been out with a right hamstring strain since last Thursday, is making progress and said on Wednesday that he expects to return to game action by the end of the regular season. "Everything is pain-free. We're not trying to do too much," Strop said. "We're letting […]

Eduardo Nunez Injures Knee Wednesday

Boston Red Sox infielder Eduardo Nunez (knee) left the game in the ninth inning on Wednesday with pain in his right knee. The knee has bothered him over the last week, and he will not play on Thursday as a result. "He felt it a little bit when he was running to first," manager Alex […]

Joe Haden Expected To Return In Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Joe Haden (hamstring) should be able to return in Week 3 against the Buccaneers on Monday night. Haden has made good progress since sitting out last week's loss to the Chiefs. While Haden isn't an IDP force, his veteran presence should help a secondary that hasn't fared well to begin the season. […]

Devin Mesoraco To Play Friday

New York Mets catcher Devin Mesoraco (neck) will catch starting pitcher Jacob deGrom on Friday, according to manager Mickey Callaway. Mesoraco hasn't played since Sept. 3 and is hitting just .213/.295/.374 with 10 home runs and 29 RBI on the season. He's not worth your attention in fantasy to close out the year.

Jorge Lopez Expected To Start Thursday

Kansas City Royals manager Ned Yost expects starting pitcher Jorge Lopez (rib) to make his scheduled start against the Tigers on Thursday. Lopez threw around 50 pitches in a side session on Tuesday and played catch on Wednesday. He is day-to-day but continues to make progress. Lopez left his start early last Friday after crashing […]

Kyle Freeland To Start Sunday Against Arizona

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Kyle Freeland, not Jon Gray, will make the start this Sunday against the Diamondbacks. Freeland was previously scheduled to start on Monday against the Phillies. Gray has a 10.80 ERA while allowing five home runs, nine walks and a .349 opponent's average in just 10 innings over his last three starts. […]
