Luis Ortiz Feeling Better

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Luis Ortiz (hamstring) is feeling much better on Tuesday. The rookie made his first career start last Friday and had to leave early after allowing a run in 1 2/3 innings against the White Sox.

Trevor Story May Have UCL Damage

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story (elbow) is facing potential damage to the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow, according to sources. The Rockies are waiting for an official diagnosis, but this looks like season-ending injury and one that could require Tommy John surgery, which would compromise Story's entire 2019 season. That's a massive blow […]

Bills Sticking With Josh Allen

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott confirmed on Monday that the team will stick with rookie quarterback Josh Allen heading into Week 3 against the Vikings. “I thought he did some good things,” McDermott said of Allen. “He's a young quarterback.

Ray-Ray McCloud Expected To Practice This Week

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud (knee) is expected to practice with the team on Wednesday, meaning that he'll have a chance to make his debut against the Vikings in Week 3. McCloud will help with Buffalo's receiving depth, but he shouldn't be owned in any fantasy leagues.

Bills May Split Defensive Play-Calling Duties

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott took over the defensive play calls in the second half of the Week 2 loss to the Chargers, but wouldn't say if the move would be permanent. McDermott said he and defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier are "still working through that." Buffalo allowed only 65 total yards (three rushing yards) […]

Seth DeValve Out Again Tuesday

Cleveland Browns tight end Seth DeValve (hamstring) missed practice for the second straight day on Tuesday. DeValve hasn't played at all this year and is buried on the depth chart when he's healthy, so he is well off the fantasy radar. David Njoku continues to serve as the main pass-catching tight end and has low-end […]

Browns Want To Get Duke Johnson More Work

Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson said the team needs to get running back Duke Johnson more opportunities moving forward. Johnson only has eight carries (20 yards, 2.5 yards per carry) and three catches for 15 yards in two games in 2018. Johnson is good out in space, but with both Carlos Hyde and rookie […]

Jarvis Landry Limited Again Tuesday

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry (knee) was limited in practice again on Tuesday. There's no indication that Landry's knee injury will keep him out of Thursday's contest against the Jets, so the Browns are likely just resting him on a short week. Landry has a healthy 22 targets (12 catches, 175 yards) through two […]

Joe Haden Expected To Practice This Week

Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Joe Haden (hamstring) had a good week of rehab and is expected to practice this week, according to head coach Mike Tomlin.

Brice Butler Returns To Dallas

Free-agent wide receiver Brice Butler Tweeted on Tuesday that he has signed with the Dallas Cowboys. Butler played the last three years with the Cowboys but was released by the Cardinals on Sept. 1. He could be a deep threat for quarterback Dak Prescott. Butler caught 15 passes for 317 yards and three touchdowns in […]

Takkarist McKinley Dealing With Groin Injury

Atlanta Falcons defensive end Takkarist McKinley (groin) injured his groin late in the Week 2 win over the Panthers, according to head coach Dan Quinn. McKinley already has two sacks this year, so losing him for Week 3 against the Saints would be bad news for their pass rush and good news for Saints quarterback […]

Titans Re-Sign Nick Williams

The Tennessee Titans re-signed wide receiver Nick Williams on Tuesday. Receiver Cameron Batson and tight end Anthony Firkser were waived in corresponding moves. Williams is in his fifth NFL season and has 28 catches for 263 yards and two touchdowns in 22 career games. He can be ignored in all fantasy leagues.

Tarik Cohen Is Fine

David DeCastro Unsure If He'll Play In Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers All-Pro offensive guard David DeCastro (hand), who sat out in Week 2, said it's too early to tell if his broken right hand will heal enough to allow him to play in Week 3 on Monday against the Buccaneers. Before last Sunday, DeCastro hadn't missed a game due to injury since the middle […]

Antonio Brown Misses Meetings Monday

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown did not show up for meetings on Monday after he was upset on the field and in the locker room during and after the team's Week 2 loss to the Chiefs, according to several team sources.

DeSean Jackson Supports Ryan Fitzpatrick

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson would support the decision to stick with quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick as the starter when Jameis Winston returns from his three-game suspension. "He's been on fire right now," Jackson told NFL Network's Scott Hanson and Willie McGinest on Monday. "With the way the team is rallying behind him and […]

Eli Apple Unlikely To Play In Week 3

New York Giants cornerback Eli Apple (groin) suffered a groin injury in Week 2 that will likely keep him out this weekend against the Texans. B.W. Webb replaced Apple in the lineup and will likely move into a starting role if Apple is inactive. Apple sitting out this weekend would be an upgrade for Houston […]

Tom Brady Lowering Expectations For Josh Gordon

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is lowering the expectations of wide receiver Josh Gordon, who the Patriots acquired via a trade on Monday. "You know, I hate to make projections and expectations. That's not fair," Brady told Jim Gray on Westwood One on Monday night. "I've never met Josh personally, just like I hadn't […]

Chris Carson Tires Out In Second Half

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said running back Chris Carson was "gassed" from playing special teams in Monday night's loss to the Bears, which is why he didn't touch the ball at all on offense in the second half. The team also wanted to see what rookie Rashaad Penny could do, too. It seems […]

Trevor Story Injures Elbow In Loss To Dodgers

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story (elbow) left the game early with right elbow soreness on Monday and will be re-evaluated on Tuesday. The fact that Story left in the middle of his at-bat can't be a good sign, but we'll wait to find out more about his injury on Tuesday. Story has been one of […]

Josh Reddick Day-To-Day

Updating a previous report, Houston Astros outfielder Josh Reddick (Achilles) is being listed as day-to-day with pain in his Achilles, according to manager A.J. Hinch.

Philadelphia Phillies infielder Asdrubal Cabrera (calf) suffered a Grade 1 strain of his left calf on Monday and will be evaluated on Tuesday.

Josh Reddick Injured Monday

Houston Astros outfielder Josh Reddick (ankle) left the game early on Monday with right ankle discomfort. Reddick was hitless in his lone plate appearance before departing the contest.
