Alfred Morris Could Be Starter In Week 1

San Francisco 49ers running back Alfred Morris could be the starter in Week 1 against the Vikings with Jerick McKinnon (knee) out for the year.

Terence Newman Announces Retirement

Minnesota Vikings cornerback Terence Newman announced his retirement on Saturday. He was set to enter his 16th professional season, but instead he will join the team's coaching staff immediately. Newman spent nine of his 15 seasons playing for head coach Mike Zimmer. The soon-to-be 40-year-old entered the league in 2003 as the fifth overall pick […]

Cowboys Cut Dan Bailey

The Dallas Cowboys cut place kicker Dan Bailey on Saturday. It's a pretty big surprise after Bailey made 15 of his 20 field goal attempts in 12 games for the Cowboys last season. He had also made three of five of his attempts beyond 50 yards, including a long of 56 yards. With Bailey now […]

Jeremy McNichols Doesn't Make Final Roster

The Indianapolis Colts acquired wide receiver Marcus Johnson from the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday in exchange for tight end Darrell Daniels, according to a source.

Matt Breida Medically Cleared

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (shoulder) has been medically cleared and is "good to go," according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. With Jerick McKinnon (knee) done for the year, Breida's role has increased considerably over the weekend, although he's expected to share the lead role with veteran Alfred Morris. Hopefully those that drafted […]

Carson Wentz Not Expected To Start In Week 1

The Philadelphia Eagles plan is to start quarterback Nick Foles in the season opener on Thursday against the Falcons over Carson Wentz (knee), according to sources. Wentz's rehab has been a successful process, but the Eagles are taking the cautious approach. Wentz could possibly sit out another week, too, which makes his draft stock entering […]

Ed Dickson Says He's Ready

Seattle Seahawks tight end Ed Dickson (quadriceps) said that he's ready for Week 1 against the Broncos. It looks like he'll come off the Non-Football Injury list ahead of the season opener, but he'll likely be behind Nick Vannett as the main pass-catching tight end if he's active. Dickson can be ignored for fantasy purposes.

Garrett Gilbert Released By Panthers

The Carolina Panthers cut backup quarterback Garrett Gilbert among many moves to trim their roster down to 53 players this weekend. Gilbert was the front-runner to be the backup to Cam Newton, but he lost out on the gig to Taylor Heinicke.

Walker Buehler Undergoing X-Rays

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Walker Buehler (foot) left the clubhouse on Sunday to have precautionary X-rays on his left foot.

Broncos Cut Carlos Henderson

The Denver Broncos released wide receiver Carlos Henderson on Saturday, according to sources.

Evan Engram Expected To Play In Week 1

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (concussion) has made progress and is expected to play in Week 1 against the Jaguars, barring any setbacks.

David Johnson Unlikely To Get New Deal Before Season

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson and the team are far apart in talks for a new deal and an extension isn't expected to happen before the season opener, according to CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora.

Markus Wheaton, Kamar Aiken Among Roster Casualties

The Philadelphia Eagles waived wide receivers Markus Wheaton and Kamar Aiken, quarterback Joe Callahan and running back Matt Jones as they trimmed their roster down to 53 players this weekend.

Tom Savage Doesn't Survive Final Cuts

Browns Release Devon Cajuste

The Cleveland Browns released tight end Devon Cajuste on Sunday. Cajuste had been impressing in training camp and the preseason, so it's a minor surprise that he didn't make the final roster. The Browns will go with David Njoku, Darren Fells, Orson Charles and Seth DeValve.

Cardale Jones Waived

The Los Angeles Chargers waived quarterback Cardale Jones on Sunday. Jones lost out in the backup battle to Geno Smith during training camp and the preseason. The converted wide receiver remains fantasy irrelevant.
