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 […]

New York Mets outfielder Tim Tebow is expected to return for a third professional season in 2019, according to assistant general manager John Ricco.

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. The veteran Haden isn't an IDP force, but a return in Week 3 on Monday night against Tampa Bay would be a good sign for a secondary that has been […]

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.

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.

Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks expects that wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald (hamstring) will play in Week 3 against the Bears. “We all know that it’s going to be tough to keep Larry off the field," Wilks said.

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.

"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.

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.

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.

Eddie Rosario Aggravates Quad Injury

Minnesota Twins outfielder Eddie Rosario (quadriceps) aggravated his quad injury on Monday and was forced from the game.

Adam Frazier Injures Knee Monday

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder/outfielder Adam Frazier (knee) left the game early with a knee injury on Monday.

Greg Zuerlein To Miss A Few Weeks

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that kicker Greg Zuerlein (groin) will be out "at least a few weeks." Zuerlein has one of the strongest legs in the game and kicks for one of the best offenses in the league, so his absence will be felt by the Rams and his fantasy owners. […]

Matt Andriese To Start Tuesday

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Matt Andriese will start against the Cubs on Tuesday. Andriese has made four starts this year, but all four came with the Rays, and he has not started a game since July 4. That means that Andriese probably won't stay in this game for more than a few innings. He has a […]

Aaron Judge Won't Return To Lineup Tuesday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (wrist) had no issues after taking part in a simulated game on Monday, but he won't return to the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Red Sox.

Redskins Signing Michael Floyd

The Washington Redskins are signing free-agent wide receiver Michael Floyd on Monday, according to a source. Washington clearly isn't happy with the production they are getting from Jamison Crowder, Josh Doctson and Paul Richardson, so they are bringing in some competition/depth. They also added former first-rounder Breshad Perriman on Monday. Floyd didn't make final cuts […]

Broncos Sticking With Hot Hand In Backfield

Denver Broncos head coach Vance Joseph said he isn't considering starting rookie running back Phillip Lindsay after he has impressed in the first two weeks. “No, because it doesn’t matter. Our deal with that room is more of gameplan. It’s what they do best. It’s more of who has the hot hand that day," Joseph […]

Zane Gonzalez Dealt With Groin Injury

Former Cleveland Browns kicker Zane Gonzalez (groin) had been kicking with a groin injury that required an MRI exam on Monday, according to a source.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry (knee) and tight end Seth DeValve (hamstring) were on the injury report for Week 3 on Monday. DeValve didn't practice, while Landry was limited.

Shaquill Griffin Active On Monday

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Shaquill Griffin (thigh) is active for Week 2 against the Bears on Monday night. However, cornerback Tre Flowers (hamstring) and linebackers Bobby Wagner (groin) and K.J.

Bud Norris Unavailable On Monday

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Bud Norris (finger) is unavailable out of the bullpen on Monday so that he can let the skin on his right middle finger heal. Norris was the closer for most of the season, but he recently lost his job while going through a rough patch while dealing with a hip […]
