Christian McCaffrey Targeting Early November Return

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) is targeting an early November return from Injured Reserve. McCaffrey was technically eligible to come off IR to play on Thursday night in Week 6 against the Seattle Seahawks, but that was never going to happen. The fact that CMC has yet to practice means he still […]

Tucker Kraft Added To Week 6 Injury Report

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft (groin) popped up on the Week 6 injury report on Thursday after putting in a limited practice. Mid-week additions to the injury report usually are never good, so fantasy managers sticking with Kraft after his big Week 5 performance will want to monitor his status heading into the […]

Christian Watson Limited Again On Thursday

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (ankle) put in his second limited practice of the week on Thursday. Watson is making good progress after suffering a left high-ankle sprain in the Week 4 loss to the division-rival Minnesota Vikings. He did not play in last Sunday's win over the Los Angeles Rams, but two […]

Trey Sermon Returns To Full Practice

Indianapolis Colts running back Trey Sermon (collarbone) was held out of Wednesday's practice but was a full participant just a day later on Thursday. Sermon was a popular waiver-wire pickup last week after Jonathan Taylor suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Week 4 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Taylor did not play in the Week […]

Anthony Richardson A Full-Go In Thursday's Practice

Updating a previous report, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson (oblique) was a full participant in Thursday's practice and was looking spry after being limited on Wednesday. Richardson injured his oblique in the Week 4 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers and didn't suit up for the Week 5 loss to the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars. With a […]

Chris Conley Active On Thursday

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Chris Conley (oblique) is officially active for the Thursday night divisional showdown against the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field to kick off Week 6 action. Conley came into the game listed as questionable, but he will suit up. Meanwhile, cornerback Charvarius Ward (knee) is inactive and won't play. Conley is […]

A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith Practice In Full Again On Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles wide receivers A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (concussion) are both on track to return to action in Week 6 against the Cleveland Browns after putting in a second straight day with a full practice on Thursday. Brown hasn't played since catching half of his 10 targets for 119 yards and a touchdown […]

49ers Not Looking To Jordan Mason As A Pass-Catcher

The Athletic's Matt Barrows writes that San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy and the team clearly aren't looking for running back Jordan Mason as a receiver out of the backfield. Mason is still building his chemistry with Purdy as the team's lead back in 2024 with Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) injured. No RB who has run […]

Darnell Mooney Stays Limited On Thursday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney (knee) put in a limited practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. If Mooney doesn't upgrade to a full practice on Friday, he could be listed on the Week 6 injury report as questionable to play this Sunday against the division-rival Carolina Panthers. However, there doesn't […]

Bijan Robinson Pops Up On Thursday's Injury Report

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson (hamstring) was added to the Week 6 injury report after putting in a limited practice on Thursday. Robinson was a full-go on Wednesday. His downgrade on Thursday is most likely just the Falcons giving him a little rest as the team prepares to take on the division-rival Carolina Panthers […]

Josh Reynolds Misses Another Practice

Denver Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds (hand) missed his second straight practice this week on Thursday due to a hand injury. Reynolds' status for the Week 6 contest versus the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers this Sunday is firmly up in the air. He'll likely need to practice in some fashion on Friday to avoid being […]

Audric Estime Could Return For Week 6

Barring a setback, signs are pointing toward Denver Broncos rookie running back Audric Estime (ankle) being activated from Injured Reserve for Sunday's Week 6 divisional matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers, according to a source. Estime missed the required four games while on IR and was designated to return on Wednesday. He was listed as […]

Mike Gesicki Returns To Limited Practice

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday but returned to a limited session on Thursday. Gesicki's status is still up in the air for Week 6 against the New York Giants on Sunday night, but his return to practice on Thursday is a good sign for his availability this weekend. […]

Zack Moss, Chase Brown Both Limited On Thursday

Cincinnati Bengals running backs Zack Moss (foot) and Chase Brown (quadriceps) were both limited in Thursday's practice. Moss did not practice on Wednesday, while Brown is a new addition to the Week 6 injury report. Moss' ability to return to practice a day later is good news for his status this week, but the Bengals' […]

Luke Musgrave "More Than Likely" Headed To Injured Reserve

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that tight end Luke Musgrave (ankle) "more than likely" will land on Injured Reserve due to his ankle injury, which will sideline him for at least four games. If the Packers put Musgrave on IR officially before the Week 6 game against the Arizona Cardinals this Sunday, […]

Jabrill Peppers Placed On Exempt List

The NFL placed New England Patriots safety Jabrill Peppers (shoulder) on the commissioner's exempt list on Wednesday. Peppers may not practice or attend games while he's on the list. Peppers plead guilty on Monday after he was arrested last Saturday in Massachusetts on strangulation and drug-possession charges. The 29-year-old won't be available to the Patriots' […]

Abner Uribe Should Be "Ready To Go" For Spring Training

The Milwaukee Brewers expect right-handed reliever Abner Uribe (knee) to have a normal offseason after having knee surgery over the summer. Uribe should be "ready to go" for the start of spring training in the middle of February, according to general manager Matt Arnold. In addition, the Brewers are targeting the end of the 2025 […]

Brewers To Revisit Moving Sal Frelick To Third Base

Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy said the team will revisit moving outfielder Sal Frelick to third base next season. It doesn't guarantee that Frelick will play a lot at the hot corner, but the Brewers were encouraged by what started last spring and like the idea of his versatility as both an outfielder and an […]

Brewers Open To Trading Devin Williams?

Milwaukee Brewers general manager Matt Arnold hinted that the team would be open to trading closer Devin Williams as he enters the final year of club control in 2025. "We have to stay open-minded. We're the smallest market in the league, so that's something that's required in this," Arnold said. The GM also said that […]

William Contreras Played Through Knee Sprain

Milwaukee Brewers catcher William Contreras (knee) was playing through a minor knee sprain during the Wild-Card Series against the New York Mets, according to general manager Matt Arnold. The Brewers revised their Game 3 lineup last week as a result to move Contreras from catcher to the designated hitter spot. In the three-game Wild-Card Series, […]

Jeff McNeil Has "Really Good Chance" To Be On NLCS Roster

New York Mets infielder/outfielder Jeff McNeil (wrist) has a "really good chance" to be on the team's roster for the National League Championship Series, which starts on Sunday against either the Los Angeles Dodgers or San Diego Padres, according to manager Carlos Mendoza. McNeil has been out since Sept. 6 due to a fractured right […]

Jon Berti Back At First Base In Game 4

New York Yankees infielder Jon Berti is back at first base and is hitting ninth in the batting order on Thursday against the Kansas City Royals and right-hander Michael Wacha in Game 4 of the American League Division Series at Kauffman Stadium. Berti received his first professional start at first base in the Game 2 […]

Wenceel Perez On The Bench For Game 4

Detroit Tigers second baseman Wenceel Perez will start on the bench for Game 4 of the American League Division Series on Thursday against the division-rival Cleveland Guardians at Comerica Park. In two of the three games of the ALDS to this point, Perez has gone 1-for-5 at the plate. With Perez out on Thursday, Matt […]

Reese Olson Starting Game 4 For Tigers

Detroit Tigers right-hander Reese Olson will make the start for the team in Game 4 of the American League Division Series on Thursday at Comerica Park against the division-rival Cleveland Guardians. Olson will be hoping to pitch well enough to win and send the Tigers to the AL Championship Series. In his first playoff start […]

Malik Nabers Hasn't Advanced To Next Stage Of Concussion Protocol

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (concussion) is in the "same" spot as Wednesday, according to head coach Brian Daboll, meaning he has not advanced to the next stage of the league's concussion protocol. There's still time for Nabers to clear the protocol, but his chances of playing on Sunday night against the […]

Trey Sermon Returns To Practice On Thursday

Indianapolis Colts running back Trey Sermon (collarbone) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. With Jonathan Taylor (ankle) sitting out the Week 5 loss to the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars and not practicing yet this week, Sermon's status is worth watching closely. It's looking like Taylor is on track to miss his second […]

Michael Pittman Jr., Josh Downs Not At Thursday's Practice

Indianapolis Colts wide receivers Michael Pittman Jr. (back) and Josh Downs (toe) were both absent from practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Pittman could be sidelined multiple weeks with his back injury, so fantasy managers should already be expecting him to miss the Week 6 contest against the division-rival Tennessee Titans […]

Jonathan Taylor Missing From Practice On Thursday

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) was not seen at practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Taylor suffered a minor high-ankle sprain in the Week 4 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers and didn't play in the Week 5 loss to the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars. The fact that he has yet […]

Todd Downing To Take Over Offensive Play-Calling For Jets

New York Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said on Thursday that passing-game coordinator Todd Downing will take over the offensive play-calling from offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett after the organization fired head coach Robert Saleh earlier this week. Instead of also firing Hackett, the Jets instead are demoting him. Downing will have "the full say […]

Tyler Conklin To Be Limited On Thursday

New York Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said that tight end Tyler Conklin (hip) will be limited in the team's first practice of the week on Thursday. Conklin apparently picked up a hip injury in the Week 5 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in London, where he had six catches on nine targets for […]
