Jonathon Brooks Could Return To Practice Next Week

Carolina Panthers rookie running back Jonathon Brooks (knee) said he thinks there's a chance he could open his 21-day practice window next week.

Phillies Unlikely To Move Alec Bohm

The Athletic's Matt Gelb thinks it's unlikely that the Philadelphia Phillies look to move third baseman Alec Bohm this offseason, especially since he still has two years left of club control. Bohm had a career-high 117 OPS+ in 2024, but he struggled down the stretch and after suffering a hand injury. The Phillies also like […]

Phillies Will Be Connected To Juan Soto This Offseason

The Athletic's Matt Gelb writes that the Philadelphia Phillies will be connected to New York Yankees impending free-agent superstar outfielder Juan Soto all winter.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Gabe Davis (knee) was limited in practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday.

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.
