Salvador Perez To Have Surgery Tuesday

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez (thumb) will have ligament surgery on his left thumb on Tuesday. He injured his thumb roughly six weeks ago and had been battling through it ever since. The recovery time from his surgery shouldn't affect his offseason conditioning. Perez should be able to resume hitting by late December, so […]

Whit Merrifield Finishes Season On High Note

Kansas City Royals second baseman Whit Merrifield finished the 2018 season leading the majors in both hits (192) and stolen bases (45).

Travis Benjamin Out Indefinitely

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Travis Benjamin (foot) aggravated his foot injury in the Week 4 win over the 49ers and is now out indefinitely. Benjamin caught his only target for just two yards before getting hurt again on Sunday. He has already missed two games with the injury and looks due to sit out […]

David Moore To Be Mixed In More

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said to expect more "mixing in" of wide receiver David Moore, perhaps at the expense of veteran Brandon Marshall. Marshall has dropped four passes in the last two games and hasn't topped four catches or 46 yards through four weeks of the season. Marshall had six targets in each […]

Randall Cobb Wasn't Close To Playing

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb (hamstring) said he wasn't close to being able to play in Week 4 against the Bills.

Josh Gordon Limited Monday

New England Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon (hamstring) was limited in practice on Monday. Gordon caught both of his targets for 32 yards in his debut with New England in Week 4 against the Dolphins. He should be fine to play this Thursday against the Colts, and his role could expand quickly if tight end […]

Rob Gronkowski Doesn't Practice Monday

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (ankle) did not practice on Monday. Gronk's injury wasn't deemed serious, but he could be up against the clock in order to play on a short week this Thursday against the Colts. Expect him to be questionable and possibly a game-time decision. Have other plans in place in […]

Bobby McCain Out 2-3 Weeks

Miami Dolphins cornerback Bobby McCain (knee) will be out two to three weeks with a knee injury, according to a source. Miami's secondary wasn't all that great to begin with, so this is a notable loss in the immediate future. McCain had 17 tackles and an interception through four weeks of the season.

Daniel Kilgore's Season Could Be Over

The Miami Dolphins fear that center Daniel Kilgore (triceps) suffered a torn triceps in Week 4, according to a source. That is a significant injury that would likely require him to miss the rest of the season. With Kilgore out for the foreseeable future, Travis Swanson is expected to fill in for a declining offensive […]

Mike Glennon To Remain As Backup

Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks said he expects quarterback Mike Glennon to remain as the backup to rookie Josh Rosen. That means that Sam Bradford will remain as the No. 3 quarterback. We never expected Bradford to remain as the starter all year, but falling to third on the depth chart this quickly just […]

Hayden Hurst Has Good Chance To Play This Week

Baltimore Ravens rookie tight end Hayden Hurst (hip) has a good chance of playing in Week 5 against the Browns after almost being cleared to play in Week 4. Hurst has yet to play in his rookie season. Head coach John Harbaugh said they are looking for Hurst to practice in full this week after […]

Alex Collins' Fumbling Issues Becoming A Problem

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said "can't have it" in relation to running back Alex Collins' fumbling issues early in the year. The coach expects Collins to work on his issues in practice, and he noted the running back has had the issues while fighting for extra yards. Collins has already lost two fumbles […]

Eric Ebron, Adam Vinatieri On Week 5 Injury Report

Indianapolis Colts tight end Eric Ebron (knee) and kicker Adam Vinatieri (groin) were both on the injury report for Week 5 on Monday. However, both players practiced in full on Monday and should be fine to play this Thursday against the Patriots. Ebron has strong TE1 potential again this week if Jack Doyle (hip) continues […]

T.Y. Hilton Misses Practice Monday

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (chest, hamstring) did not practice on Monday. The Colts could just be resting Hilton with a short week before facing the Patriots this Thursday, but this is something to watch. Hilton caught four passes on six targets in the Week 4 loss to the Texans, but he did have […]

Joe Mixon's Week 5 Status Up In The Air

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis said "we'll see" when asked about running back Joe Mixon's (knee) status for Week 5 against the Dolphins. Mixon has been out since Week 2, but he's on the verge of returning. He would probably be a little bit more limited if he returned this week, though, potentially lowering […]

Falcons Hope Devonta Freeman Will Return This Week

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said the team is hoping that running back Devonta Freeman (knee) can return in Week 5 against the Steelers. Freeman has been out since the season opener against the Eagles on Sept. 6. If he returns this Sunday, expect him to share more touches with Tevin Coleman in the […]

Jaguars Unsure When Leonard Fournette Will Return

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said he doesn't know how long running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) will miss after aggravating his injury in Week 4. Fournette missed two games before, and he figures to miss at least that much this time around. Fournette is turning into an early-round bust so far for fantasy owners, […]

Jonathan Stewart Out Eight Weeks

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said that running back Jonathan Stewart (foot) is dealing with an eight-week injury. There remains "potential to bring him back" from Injured Reserve this year. J-Stew was really only a handcuff option for Saquon Barkley owners, but he wasn't much of one to begin with. Wayne Gallman is […]

Ed Dickson On Track To Return Soon

With Seattle Seahawks rookie tight end Will Dissly (knee) expected to be out for the rest of the year, head coach Pete Carroll said that the team could look to add a tight end off the practice squad. Ed Dickson (quadriceps) is on track to return from the Non-Football Injury list after Week 6 when […]

Chris Carson Expected To Play In Week 5

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that running back Chris Carson (hip) will return in Week 5 against the Rams, but Carson's return won't come at the expense of Mike Davis. Carson was a surprise inactive in Week 4. “He’s (Davis is) going to fit in somewhere. He needs to play. He needs to […]

Aaron Colvin's Season In Jeopardy

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said cornerback Aaron Colvin (ankle) could play again this year, but the team is unsure of that at this time. Colvin has just 18 tackles through four games, but his injury is a tough blow to an already thin secondary moving forward. While Houston's defensive line remains top notch, […]

Lamar Miller Banged Up

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said running back Lamar Miller is "a little banged up, but I think he's going to be OK." Miller has been extremely mediocre through four games, running 58 times for 225 yards (3.9 yards per carry) and no touchdowns on the ground. He has just eight receptions for 54 […]

Will Fuller's Removal Wasn't Precautionary

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said wide receiver Will Fuller's (hamstring) removal in Week 4 wasn't precautionary. The team will continue to evaluate Fuller throughout the week. Fuller had four catches on five targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in the overtime win over the Colts. He has scored in all three games […]

Adrian Peterson, Josh Norman, Trent Williams Miss Practice

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson (ankle), cornerback Josh Norman and left tackle Trent Williams (knee) did not practice on Monday. All three players should be good to following a bye week and with the team not playing until next Monday night in Week 5. Despite being 33 years old, Peterson has averaged 4.2 yards […]

Rob Gronkowski Expected To Be Questionable

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski's (ankle) injury that caused him to leave the game early in Week 4 isn't considered serious, according to a source. However, on a short week against the Colts in Week 5 this Thursday, he's expected to be questionable to play. Gronk provided his owners with four catches on […]

Kenny Vaccaro Out 2-4 Weeks

Tennessee Titans safety Kenny Vaccaro (elbow) will be out two to four weeks after dislocating his elbow in the Week 4 win over the Eagles, according to a source. Vaccaro already has a sack and an interception early in the year. His absence over the next couple of weeks will weaken Tennessee's secondary quite a […]
