Christin Stewart, Jordan Zimmermann Undergo Surgery

Detroit Tigers outfield prospect Christin Stewart (abdomen) and starting pitcher Jordan Zimmermann (abdomen) underwent core muscle surgery in Philadelphia on Thursday. According to Dr. Robert Meyers, both surgeries were a success and both players are expected to be ready for spring training in 2019. Stewart has plenty of upside and should compete for a starting […]

Brandin Cooks, Cooper Kupp To Practice Thursday

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said wide receivers Brandin Cooks (concussion) and Cooper Kupp (concussion) will take part in individual drills on Thursday. If they avoid setbacks, they will practice in full on Friday and be good to go for Week 6 against the Broncos. It's great news for a high-flying Rams offense […]

No Timetable For Sean Lee

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee (hamstring) did not practice on Thursday, but defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli thinks Lee "is getting closer and closer" to returning. However, there is no timetable for his return and he's considered week-to-week. The good news is that Lee did some individual work on Thursday. He's been out since Week 3. […]

Marquise Goodwin Practicing In Full

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (hamstring, quadriceps) is a "full go" in practice on Thursday and appears to be on track to return in Week 6 against the Packers on Monday night after sitting out last Sunday. Goodwin was a popular breakout candidate in training camp, but injuries have limited him to just […]

Jhoulys Chacin Lined Up For Game 3 Of NLCS

After Milwaukee Brewers starting pitchers Gio Gonzalez and Wade Miley go in Games 1 and 2, respectively, in the National League Championship Series against the Dodgers, Jhoulys Chacin will start Game 3 at Dodger Stadium on Monday. Chacin has pitched well so far in the postseason and has been the team's most reliable starter all […]

Gio Gonzalez To Start Game 1 Against Dodgers

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Gio Gonzalez will start Game 1 of the National League Championship Series against the Dodgers on Friday. Gonzalez didn't pitch at all in the Division Series and was very unpredictable during the regular season with Washington and Milwaukee, going 10-11 with a 4.21 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 7.8 K/9 over 32 […]

Matt Breida, Pierre Garcon, George Kittle Out Thursday

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that running back Matt Breida (ankle), wide receivers Pierre Garcon (shoulder) and Trent Taylor (back) and tight end George Kittle (knee) are all sitting out of practice on Thursday. San Fran is pretty banged up on offense heading into the Monday night showdown with the Packers. Breida […]

Yankees Expected To Pursue Patrick Corbin

The New York Yankees are expected to pursue Arizona Diamondbacks impending free-agent starting pitcher Patrick Corbin this winter, according to sources. Yankees impending free-agent starters J.A. Happ and CC Sabathia will be under consideration, too. Corbin was one of the league's best left-handed starters in 2018 and finished third in the National League with 246 […]

DeVante Parker Unsure Of Week 6 Availability

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (quadriceps) is unsure if he will be active in Week 6 against the Bears. He has missed four of the first five games of the season due to a broken finger and strained quadriceps. However, he's looked good in practice so far this week, and head coach Adam Gase […]

Taylor Lewan Returns To Practice

Tennessee Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan (foot) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Lewan should be able to play in Week 6 against the Ravens. He's one of the NFL's best left tackles, so him being on the field is always good news for quarterback Marcus Mariota.

Devonta Freeman To Take Part In Walkthrough

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said running back Devonta Freeman (foot) will take part in the team's walkthrough practice on Thursday, as his foot remains sore. Freeman is dealing with a bone contusion in his foot, which isn't expected to be a long-term injury. Still, it could keep him out in Week 6 in […]

Seahawks Won't Force Touches To Rashaad Penny

Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer said the team won't force touches to rookie running back Rashaad Penny after he didn't play a single snap on offense in Week 5. “We’re not going to force it,” Schottenheimer said Wednesday. “I mean, this is a long season. This is a season we’re going to need them […]

Leonard Williams Added To Injury Report

New York Jets defensive tackle Leonard Williams (back) was added to the injury report and didn't practice on Thursday. Williams has been effective for the Jets this year with 16 tackles and three sacks through five games. Losing him would be a blow against the Colts this week, especially with cornerbacks Trumaine Johnson and Buster […]

Mitch Moreland To Hit Thursday

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland (hamstring) will hit on Thursday, and the team still has time to decide whether they want to include him on their roster for the American League Championship Series against the Astros. Moreland was beat up down the stretch and didn't play in the final two games of the […]

Eduardo Nunez OK For ALCS

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said infielder Eduardo Nunez (ankle) is OK after slipping on the final play of the Division Series win over the Yankees. Nunez has been the main third baseman in the playoffs and to close out the year over Rafael Devers, and it should remain that way moving forward. Nunez […]

Steven Wright Needs Surgery On Knee

Boston Red Sox pitcher Steven Wright (knee) needs arthroscopic surgery on his knee, but he is waiting on a second opinion to see if he could be available if the team advances to the World Series. The knuckleballer had to be removed from the Division Series because of the injury, so he is unavailable to […]

Cardinals Re-Sign Adam Wainwright

The St. Louis Cardinals agreed to terms on a one-year deal to re-sign starting pitcher Adam Wainwright on Thursday. He will be entering his 15th season with the Cardinals next year, which will match Bob Forsch for the third most as a pitcher for St. Louis. It could be Waino's last season in the bigs, […]

Greg Olsen Practices In Full, Won't Be Held Back

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (foot) was upgraded to a full practice participant on Thursday, and head coach Ron Rivera said Olsen won't be held back if he plays in Week 6 against the Redskins. All signs point to Olsen returning after fracturing his foot in the season opener. With how weak the tight […]

Matt Kalil On Track To Return Nov. 4

Carolina Panthers left tackle Matt Kalil (knee) said he's on track to resume practicing next week and return on Nov. 4 to face the Buccaneers. His knee is feeling stronger and his rehab from a knee scope has gone well. Kalil is one of the better left tackles in the NFL when healthy, so quarterback […]

Darius Leonard Returns To Practice

Indianapolis Colts rookie linebacker Darius Leonard (ankle) returned to practice along with safeties Malik Hooker (back) and Clayton Geathers (concussion, neck) on Thursday. It's good news for an ailing team all around as they get ready to face the Jets in Week 6. Leonard has burst onto the scene as a star in his first […]

No Eric Ebron On Thursday At Practice

Indianapolis Colts tight end Eric Ebron (ankle, knee, quadriceps, shin) missed practice for the second straight day. It's never a good sign when a player misses the first two practices of the week, so Ebron might be questionable, at best, for Week 6 against the Jets. That could really be a problem with Jack Doyle […]

Jamison Crowder, Paul Richardson Still Out Thursday

Washington Redskins wide receiver Jamison Crowder (ankle) and Paul Richardson (knee, shoulder) remain out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday. It doesn't look good for their chances of suiting up in Week 6 against the Panthers, but they could ease their fantasy owners' minds if they practice on Friday. Washington's passing offense […]

Could Jordan Howard Be A Trade Candidate?

Chicago Bears running back Jordan Howard has landed on the rumor mill as the Oct. 30 trade deadline approaches after Tarik Cohen exploded in Week 4. Rumors also swirled about Howard being traded before the draft in April. The Eagles are in need of a running back after Jay Ajayi's season-ending knee injury, but Bears […]

Ameer Abdullah Is Expendable

Detroit Lions running back Ameer Abdullah has become an afterthought in offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter's weekly scheme behind rookie Kerryon Johnson, LeGarrette Blount and Theo Riddick, making him a trade candidate. Abdullah has yet to see a carry this season and was a healthy scratch on game days for the entire month of September. […]

Tevin Coleman Could Be A Trade Candidate

Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman could become a trade candidate if the team doesn't turn things around in the next week or so. Rookie Ito Smith has impressed in limited action so far. Linebacker Vic Beasley could also be a trade candidate, but his 2019 option of $12.810 million could be a road block. […]

Anthony Castonzo Expects To Debut In Week 6

Indianapolis Colts left tackle Anthony Castonzo (hamstring) continues to be cautious after having multiple setbacks with his injury, but he fully expects to make his season debut in Week 6 against the Jets. He was a full participant in practice on Wednesday for the first time this year. It'd be great for quarterback Andrew Luck […]

Randall Cobb, Geronimo Allison Practice Thursday

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Randall Cobb (hamstring) and Geronimo Allison (concussion, hamstring) were both surprise participants in practice on Thursday and even took part in 11-on-11 drills. They were both originally expected to be in the rehab group off to the side, so this is great news for their statuses for Monday night against […]

Eric Berry, Justin Houston Not Practicing Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) and linebacker Justin Houston (hamstring) both missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Berry hasn't played yet this year and has no timetable for a return. Houston is one of the team's best pass rushers, so they could be in serious trouble without him on Sunday […]

Sean Lee Takes Part In Individual Drills

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee (hamstring) took part in individual drills during the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday. It's his first work in practice since injuring his hamstring in Week 3 against the Seahawks. Lee is still probably on the wrong side of questionable for Week 6 against the Jaguars, but […]

Nick Senzel Out 4-6 Weeks

Cincinnati Reds third base prospect Nick Senzel (elbow) needs surgery to remove bone spurs in his left elbow, which will keep him out for four to six weeks. It's a setback, as Senzel was hoping to get repetitions in the outfield in the Arizona Fall League, but he is expecting to be 100 percent healthy […]
