Shota Imanaga Likely To Command $100 Million

Japanese free-agent left-hander Shota Imanaga intentionally waited until the end of November to be posted by the Yokohama Bay Stars of Nippon Professional Baseball, figuring all the best MLB teams would be focused on Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto. According to executives, Imanaga is likely to reach nine figures on a contract. His options should […]

Lucas Giolito Plans To Fix Mechanics Going Into 2024 Season

Boston Red Sox right-hander Lucas Giolito has a plan to fix what has plagued him on the mound for the better part of the last two years and is eager to work alongside Red Sox pitching coach Andrew Bailey in 2024. It didn't help that Giolito spent time with three teams -- the Cleveland Guardians, […]

Blake Snell Interested In Playing For Yankees

Free-agent left-hander Blake Snell has privately expressed interest in playing for the New York Yankees, according to SNY's Andy Martino. At the moment, Snell seems a more likely fit in New York than Jordan Montgomery, with whom they have also talked. The Yankees are looking to aggressively add to their starting rotation and are planning […]

Will Levis Returns To Limited Practice

Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Will Levis (foot) was limited in Thursday's practice after being listed as a non-participant on Wednesday. Levis missed the Week 16 game with an ankle sprain, only to return in last week's loss to the Houston Texans while injuring his right foot early in the game. It's not an overly serious […]

Tyler Lockett Added To Week 18 Injury Report

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (toe) was added to the Week 18 injury report on Thursday but he managed to practice in full. It's something worth watching, but it doesn't appear to be anything that will compromise Lockett from playing in a must-win Week 18 regular season meeting with the Arizona Cardinals. The 31-year-old […]

Kenneth Walker III Returns To Limited Practice

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (shoulder) returned to a limited practice session on Thursday after he was listed as a non-participant in the first practice of the week on Wednesday. Head coach Pete Carroll said that Walker is in a better spot than he was last week, when he played through his shoulder […]

Travis Kelce Stays Limited In Practice

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (neck) was limited in practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Kelce's injury isn't too serious, but there's a good chance the Chiefs will rest him or hold him out entirely in the Week 18 regular season finale on Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers. […]

Isiah Pacheco Returns To Practice Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (quadriceps, shoulder) was back on the practice field on Thursday and put in a limited session after he was a non-participant on Wednesday. Pacheco's injuries don't appear to be too serious, however, he'll be a candidate to be rested in the Week 18 regular season finale against the […]

Courtland Sutton, Marvin Mims Jr. Practicing In Full

It looks as though Denver Broncos wide receivers Courtland Sutton (concussion) and Marvin Mims Jr. (hamstring) will both be returning after one-game absences to play in the Week 18 regular season finale against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders. Both wideouts were upgraded to full participants in practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Sutton […]

Josh Allen Still Practicing In Full

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (finger, neck) was a full-go in the team's practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Allen suffered a neck stinger on a hard hit late in the team's Week 17 win over the New England Patriots, but the Bills have not been concerned at all and the 27-year-old signal-caller […]

Jake Browning Added To Week 18 Injury Report

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Jake Browning (foot) was added to the Week 18 injury report on Thursday but he was still able to practice in full, so it's most likely nothing to worry about heading into a Week 18 regular season matchup against the Cleveland Browns. The Browns have been a shy-away matchup for opposing QBs […]

Joe Mixon Out Sick Thursday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (illness) sat out of Thursday's practice due to an illness. Mixon should be ready to play by Sunday's Week 18 regular season finale against the Cleveland Browns, but with the Bengals already eliminated from postseason contention, the Bengals could choose to give rookie fifth-rounder Chase Brown and Trayveon Williams […]

Ja'Marr Chase Upgrades To Full Practice

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase (shoulder) was upgraded to a full practice participant on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Chase missed Week 16 with a separated shoulder but returned for the Week 17 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs and caught only three of his seven targets for 41 yards. Even though the […]

No Practice For Tee Higgins Thursday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (hamstring) missed the team's practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Higgins injured his hamstring in the Week 17 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs and is looking unlikely to play in the Week 18 regular season finale on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns with the Bengals eliminated […]

Joshua Palmer Stays Limited Thursday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer (concussion) was listed as a limited participant in practice for the second straight day as he attempts to return from a concussion and play in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Kansas City Chiefs. Palmer suffered a concussion in Week 16 and missed the Week 17 […]

Keenan Allen Doesn't Practice Thursday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (heel) missed yet another practice on Thursday and looks likely to miss his fourth straight game to close out the season. The Chargers basically shut their top offensive weapon down right after quarterback Justin Herbert (finger) was lost for the year and the team was eliminated from the […]

Michael Mayer Trending Toward Another Missed Game

Las Vegas Raiders rookie tight end Michael Mayer (toe) missed a second straight day of practice this week on Thursday. Mayer is dealing with a toe injury that has kept him sidelined the last two games. The fact that the 22-year-old second-rounder has yet to practice this week makes him unlikely to play in a […]

Another Missed Practice For Josh Jacobs

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (quadriceps) missed another practice on Thursday. Interim head coach Antonio Pierce said on Wednesday that Jacobs is expected to be a game-time decision for the Week 18 regular season finale against the Denver Broncos this Sunday, but the 25-year-old will probably need to practice on Friday, at least […]

De'Von Achane Says He's Good To Go

Miami Dolphins rookie running back De'Von Achane (ribs, toe) put in a second straight day of limited practice on Thursday and said he's good to go for the Week 18 regular season finale against the Buffalo Bills in a game that will decide the winner of the AFC East. Achane picked up a rib injury […]

Jaylen Waddle Misses Another Day Of Practice

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (ankle) missed a second straight day of practice on Thursday. Waddle suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 16 and missed the Week 17 blowout loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The Dolphins are claiming it's more of a minor high-ankle sprain, but Waddle is trending toward missing his second straight […]

Zack Moss Questionable For Regular Season Finale

Indianapolis Colts running back Zack Moss (forearm) is officially listed as questionable to play in the Week 18 regular season finale against the division-rival Houston Texans on Saturday evening. Moss was able to put in full practices on Wednesday and Thursday and is on the right side of questionable this week after missing the last […]

Dalvin Cook Expected To Sign With Ravens

Four-time Pro Bowl running back Dalvin Cook is expected to sign with the Baltimore Ravens for the playoffs, according to his agency. Cook was released by the New York Jets earlier this week and will now have 2 1/2 weeks to prepare for Baltimore's Divisional Round game. The 28-year-old will be providing extra depth in […]

Robert Woods Questionable For Week 18

Houston Texans wide receiver Robert Woods (hip) was unable to practice all week but is listed as questionable to play in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday night. The Texans already ruled out Noah Brown (back) for this one, so if Woods doesn't get cleared to play on Saturday, […]

Noah Brown Won't Play Against Colts

Houston Texans wide receiver Noah Brown (back) was unable to practice all week and has been ruled out for Saturday's Week 18 regular season finale against the Indianapolis Colts. Fellow wideout Robert Woods (hip) is questionable, so the Texans receiving corps could be extra thin in a must-win game for rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud. Nico […]

Odell Beckham Jr. To Be Rested In Regular Season Finale

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. was rested in practice all week and will be held out of the Week 18 regular season finale on Saturday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Rookie Zay Flowers (calf) is doubtful and receiver Tylan Wallace (knee) is considered questionable. The Ravens will also rest start quarterback Lamar Jackson with […]

Zay Flowers Doubtful To Play In Week 18

Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Zay Flowers (calf) didn't practice all week and is listed as doubtful to play on Saturday night in Week 18 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Ravens have the top seed in the AFC and a first-round bye in the playoffs locked up, so they will be resting some players this […]

Darnell Mooney Trending In The Wrong Direction

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney (concussion) missed a second straight day of practice on Thursday as he remains in the league's concussion protocols. Mooney suffered his concussion in the Week 16 win over the Arizona Cardinals and didn't play in last week's win over the Atlanta Falcons. With the Bears season already over, it's […]

Khalil Herbert Dealing With Back Injury

Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert (back) popped up on the Week 18 injury report on Thursday and was listed as a limited practice participant. Midweek injuries are usually never a good sign, especially with a team heading into a meaningless Week 18 regular season finale against the Green Bay Packers. The Packers are still […]

Alvin Kamara Absent Again Thursday

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) missed practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday due to a sprained ankle he suffered in the Week 17 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Even in a must-win game this Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons, Kamara isn't a lock to play if he […]

Luke Musgrave Could Return In Week 18

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said there's a possibility that rookie tight end Luke Musgrave (kidney) comes off Injured Reserve to play in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Chicago Bears. "I'd say it's realistic, yes," LaFleur said. Musgrave put in another limited practice on Thursday, but he might need to […]
