Romeo Doubs Stays Limited On Wednesday

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs (hand) put in a second straight limited practice session on Wednesday.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts (hamstring) is dealing with a hamstring injury and will be limited at practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Raheem Morris.

Domingo German Making A Start On Wednesday

Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Domingo German will make the start for the Pirates on Wednesday at Wrigley Field against the division-rival Chicago Cubs.
