Giovani Bernard Not Seen At Practice

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard (knee) was not seen at all on the practice field on Thursday. Bernard has yet to resume practicing since spraining his MCL on Sept. 30, and he looks likely to miss another game in Week 8. Once he returns, he'll be Joe Mixon's change-of-pace back and could have RB3/flex […]

Torrey Smith Out Again Thursday

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Torrey Smith (knee) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. It's not a good sign for his chances of playing in Week 8 against the Ravens. The veteran wideout hasn't gone over five catches or 61 yards in a single game this year and remains an unattractive all-or-nothing fantasy […]

Kenny Stills Could Be Back In Week 9

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills (groin) has already been ruled out for Thursday night against the Texans, but his injury isn't a long-term one and he could have a shot at playing in Week 9 against the Jets. Stills got off to a great start in the season opener, going for four catches, 106 […]

Peyton Barber Returns To Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber (ankle) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. It's a good sign that he will be able to play in Week 8 against the Bengals. Barber is still looking for his first touchdown of the year and is averaging a mediocre 3.5 yards per carry […]

Robert Turbin Hoping To Return After Bye

Indianapolis Colts running back Robert Turbin (shoulder), who suffered a dislocated shoulder two weeks ago, is hoping to return after the team's Week 9 bye. When healthy, Turbin is fourth on the running back depth chart behind Marlon Mack, Nyheim Hines and Jordan Wilkins, so he can remain on the waiver wire in fantasy leagues.

Marlon Mack Not Practicing Thursday

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (ankle) is not practicing on Thursday after getting in a limited session on Wednesday. It's unclear if Mack suffered a setback or not, so his Friday practice participation will be key. If he's unable to go, rookies Nyheim Hines and Jordan Wilkins would split the workload in an excellent […]

Randall Cobb, Geronimo Allison Expected To Play Against Rams

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said he feels good about both wide receivers Randall Cobb (hamstring) and Geronimo Allison (hamstring) playing in Week 8 against the Rams. Both players returned to practice on Wednesday after the bye week. Both Cobb and Allison were close to playing before the Week 7 bye, so it's […]

LeSean McCoy Still In Concussion Protocol

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol, but he was able to get in a limited practice on Thursday. It's an encouraging sign that he'll be able to play on Monday against the Patriots. He has had at least 100 total yards from scrimmage in each of his last […]

Sony Michel Still Absent At Practice

New England Patriots rookie running back Sony Michel (knee) remained sidelined at practice on Thursday. Dealing with a sprained MCL, Michel is fully expected to sit out for the game on Monday night against the Bills, and he might be hard-pressed to return next week as well. He needs to be stashed in all formats, […]

Rob Gronkowski Back At Practice Thursday

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (back) was back at practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Gronk's back spasms that kept him out of Week 7 were never believed to be a long-term issue, so he should be fine to play against the Bills on Monday with an extra day of rest. […]

Everson Griffen's Status Up In The Air

Minnesota Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen returned to practice on Wednesday after missing five games to address a mental-health issue, and it's too early to tell if he will play in Week 8 against the Saints. "We’re just going to see how he comes back," Zimmer said of whether Griffen will play Sunday. "Really, that’s […]

Corey Coleman Added To Active Roster

The New York Giants added wide receiver Corey Coleman from the practice squad to their active roster on Thursday. The former first-round pick of the Browns in 2016 was traded to the Bills before the season and was cut by Buffalo and the Patriots before landing with New York. The Giants are hurting for depth […]

Leonard Fournette, James O'Shaughnessy Out Again

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) and tight end James O'Shaughnessy (hip) are expected to miss practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Fournette is now expected to sit out through the team's Week 9 bye. He's yet to play a full game this year and has turned into a full-on first-round bust […]

Ravens Looking To Get Hayden Hurst More Involved

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said the team needs to get rookie tight end Hayden Hurst more involved in the offense. "It’s important to get Hayden involved going forward," coach John Harbaugh said. "He’s a first-round pick, talented guy. He’s practicing really well. He’s a rookie –- that’s the other side of it -- […]

Chris Thompson, Paul Richardson Back At Practice

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (knee, ribs) and wide receiver Paul Richardson (knee, shoulder) both returned to a limited practice on Wednesday after sitting out in Week 7. Thompson ranks second in receiving on the team despite missing a game. Thompson took part in practice last week before being ruled out, so he's no […]

Jamison Crowder Unlikely To Play In Week 8

Washington Redskins wide receiver Jamison Crowder (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday and is highly unlikely to play in Week 8 against the Giants. Crowder has now been out since Oct. 8 and is once again looking like a fantasy bust after many predicted a breakout in 2018. He's been dropped in most fantasy leagues. […]

Rick Porcello To Start Game 3 Of World Series

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that starting pitcher Rick Porcello will start Game 3 of the World Series in Los Angeles against the Dodgers on Friday. Nathan Eovaldi won't be available to start until at least Game 4 after tossing two innings in relief in each of the first two games. Porcello won […]

Dodgers Still Plan To Use Julio Urias As Starter In 2019

The Los Angeles Dodgers plan to build pitcher Julio Urias up as a starter again for the 2019 season, according to manager Dave Roberts. The Dodgers were careful with Urias this year after he was recovering from left shoulder surgery, which is part of the reason why he's been pitching in relief for them in […]

Yoenis Cespedes' Heel Surgery Delayed

New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes' (heel) left heel surgery has been delayed a few days due to a scheduling conflict, but it should still be done by the end of this month, which would keep him on track to begin baseball activities around late February/early March. Cespedes had surgery on his right heel earlier […]

Ndamukong Suh Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. The Rams could just be resting their stud defensive tackle in the middle of the season. The 31-year-old remains one of the best defensive tackles in the NFL and has 20 tackles and three sacks through the first seven weeks of the […]

Dalvin Cook Could Be Out Through Bye Week

Multiple league sources have indicated a belief that Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) will miss the team's next two games against the Saints and Lions and remain out through the Week 10 bye. Cook just hasn't been able to stay healthy so far in his career after missing most of last year after […]

Keke Coutee, Ryan Griffin Ruled Out For Thursday

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Keke Coutee (hamstring) and tight end Ryan Griffin (illness) missed practice on Wednesday and have been ruled out for Thursday night against the Dolphins. Coutee said after the game Sunday that he wouldn't be able to play on the short week after aggravating his hamstring that cost him games earlier […]

Bilal Powell's Career In Jeopardy

New York Jets running back Bilal Powell (neck), who was placed on Injured Reserve on Wednesday, will have season-ending surgery on his neck. The injury could also be career-threatening, according to head coach Todd Bowles. The 29-year-old Powell will be a free agent after this season, so he may struggle to find work. He'll finish […]

Cooper Kupp Doubtful For Week 8

Although Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (knee) is making good progress, he's doubtful to play in Week 8 against the Packers, according to head coach Sean McVay. With Kupp likely to miss his second straight game, Robert Woods and Brandin Cooks will once again have higher fantasy ceilings. Josh Reynolds, who will be […]

Robby Anderson, Quincy Enunwa Miss Practice

New York Jets wide receivers Robby Anderson (ankle) and Quincy Enunwa (ankle) both missed practice on Wednesday. With Enunwa expected to miss another week or two with his high ankle sprain, the Jets can ill-afford to have Anderson sit out in Week 8 against the tough Bears defense. Anderson disappointed with only three receptions on […]

Ronald Jones II Sees First-Team Reps Wednesday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Dirk Koetter said rookie running back Ronald Jones II "got the majority of everything today" in Wednesday's practice with Peyton Barber (ankle) sitting out. The Bucs aren't giving out much information on Barber's injury, so he might be in danger of sitting out in Week 8 against the Bengals. If […]

No Practice For Larry Fitzgerald Wednesday

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. Fitzgerald is likely just being rested, so he should be fine to play in a good matchup in Week 8 against the Niners. The 35-year-old veteran caught his first touchdown last Thursday but has been very unproductive otherwise with rookie quarterback Josh Rosen […]

Isaiah Crowell Practicing In Full

New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell (foot) is practicing in full on Wednesday for the first time in three weeks. It's good news, especially since Bilal Powell (neck) is having season-ending surgery. Crowell's workload might increase slightly, but rookie Trenton Cannon should help on passing downs until Elijah McGuire (foot) returns from the Physically […]

Seth Roberts On Week 8 Injury Report

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Seth Roberts (concussion) is listed on the Week 8 injury report and was limited in practice on Wednesday. He'll need to be cleared from the concussion protocol in order to play this Sunday against the Colts. With Amari Cooper traded to the Cowboys, Roberts' role in the offense will grow as […]

Rashaad Penny, Ed Dickson, Nick Vannett Limited In Practice

Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny (finger) and tight ends Ed Dickson (quadriceps) and Nick Vannett (back) were all limited in practice on Wednesday coming off their bye week. Penny may have suffered a setback from his finger injury he suffered in training camp, but there's no indication it'll keep him out this weekend […]
