Freddie Freeman Expected Back For Game 5

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that first baseman Freddie Freeman (ankle) is expected to return to the starting lineup for the deciding Game 5 of the National League Division Series on Friday at Dodger Stadium against the division-rival San Diego Padres.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Kerry Carpenter (hamstring) departed Game 4 of the American League Division Series early at Comerica Park on Thursday against the division-rival Cleveland Guardians due to a left-hamstring issue.

Seattle Mariners second baseman Jorge Polanco (knee) had surgery to fix the patellar tendon in his left knee and is expected to be ready for the start of spring training in February, according to sources.

Gabe Davis Continue To Be Limited

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Gabe Davis (knee) was limited in practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Davis should be just fine to play this Sunday in Week 6 in London against the Chicago Bears, but he won't be recommended in starting fantasy lineups, especially if tight end Evan Engram (hamstring) returns […]

Travis Etienne Jr. Has His Reps Limited Again

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. (shoulder) continues to work his way through a shoulder injury and was limited in practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Etienne was also limited in all three practices last week before suiting up in the Week 5 win over the division-rival Indianapolis Colts, but […]

Evan Engram Limited For Second Straight Day

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram (hamstring) was listed as limited in practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Engram hasn't played since the season-opening loss to the Miami Dolphins after injuring his hamstring during pre-game warmups before Week 2, but head coach Doug Pederson said earlier this week that he's optimistic […]

Ricky Pearsall To Resume Practicing Next Week

San Francisco 49ers rookie first-round wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (chest) will resume practicing next week. Pearsall might have had his practice window opened this week if not for a quick turnaround with a Thursday night tilt in Week 6 against the division-rival Seattle Seahawks. The 24-year-old will instead return to practice next week, and the […]

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.

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, […]

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.
