Tommy Tremble, Ian Thomas Stay Limited Thursday

Carolina Panthers tight ends Tommy Tremble (illness) and Ian Thomas (ankle) were both limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Stephen Sullivan (shoulder) practiced in full for the second straight day. Hayden Hurst (concussion) isn't coming back this season, so the Panthers will finish out the 2023 campaign with Hurst, Thomas and […]

Joey Bosa Won't Return On Saturday

Los Angeles Chargers All-Pro pass-rusher Joey Bosa (foot) had his 21-day practice window opened on Thursday and was listed as a limited participant in practice, but he was also officially ruled out from playing in the Week 16 contest against the Buffalo Bills this Saturday. Bosa can now practice with the team but must be […]

Durham Smythe Stays Limited Thursday

Miami Dolphins tight end Durham Smythe (ankle) maintained his limited practice participation for the second straight day on Thursday. It's unlikely that Smythe's ankle injury is going to keep him from being active in a big Sunday matchup against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 16. The 28-year-old tight end hasn't been on the fantasy map […]

Tony Pollard Finally Getting Healthy?

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard (leg) said on Thursday that at the start of the season, he was still working through his January leg fracture more than he realized. "I would say it's a night and day difference. You think you're good. You think you're all the way back until you're actually out there […]

Dontayvion Wicks Stays Limited Thursday

For the second straight day this week, Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) was limited in the team's practice. Wicks should be able to suit up this weekend against the Carolina Panthers and he could have an even bigger role if both Christian Watson (hamstring) and fellow rookie Jayden Reed (chest, toe) […]

Aaron Jones, AJ Dillon Both Limited Again Thursday

Green Bay Packers running backs Aaron Jones (knee, finger), AJ Dillon (thumb) and rookie Emanuel Wilson (shoulder) were all limited in Thursday's practice for the second straight day this week. Jones ended a three-game absence by returning in the Week 15 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a game he had 13 carries for […]

Brevin Jordan, John Metchie III Return To Practice

Houston Texans tight end Brevin Jordan (illness) and wide receiver John Metchie III (illness) were both able to return to a limited practice session on Thursday after they did not practice with the team on Wednesday while being sick. Both players are well on their way to being available for the Week 16 contest versus […]

Nico Collins, Noah Brown Limited Thursday

Houston Texans wide receivers Nico Collins (calf) and Noah Brown (knee) were both limited in practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Collins missed last week's overtime win over the Tennessee Titans but could definitely return to the field this weekend to face the Cleveland Browns if he can put in a […]

Yoshinobu Yamamoto Signing With LA For Over $300 Million

Japanese free-agent right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto will sign with the Los Angeles Dodgers for more than $300 million. ESPN's Jeff Passan reports that the agreement is for 12 years and $325 million. Yamamoto could be one of the most dominant pitchers to come out of Japan, which would be saying a lot. Eventually, fellow countryman and […]

Brian Robinson Jr. Misses Thursday's Practice

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) and Jonathan Williams (concussion) both missed practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Robinson also missed the Week 15 loss to the Los Angeles Rams and is now trending toward missing his second straight contest. Fantasy managers banking on B-Rob being active in Week […]

Zay Flowers Limited Thursday With Foot Injury

Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Zay Flowers (foot) was limited in the team's practice on Thursday for their first practice of the week. Flowers injured his foot at the very end of Sunday night's win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, but the Ravens aren't concerned that the injury is serious or that it will keep him […]

Noah Fant Added To Week 16 Injury Report

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (toe) was added to the Week 16 injury report on Thursday, but he was still able to put in a full practice session. It's worth noting, but as long as Fant practices again on Friday, he should be just fine to play this Sunday in Tennessee against the Titans. […]

Geno Smith Puts In Second Straight Full Practice

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith (groin) appears to be on track to play in Week 16 against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday after putting in a second straight full practice on Thursday. Smith has missed the last two games, although he was active as the backup to Drew Lock in Monday's upset win over the […]

Kenneth Walker III Misses Another Day Of Practice

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (shoulder) missed a second straight day of practice on Thursday due to a new shoulder injury that he apparently picked up in Monday night's upset win over the Philadelphia Eagles. We'll have a better idea of Walker's status on Friday, but he's firmly up in the air to […]

Jaguars Unlikely To Have Trevor Lawrence In Week 16

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (concussion) missed practice again on Thursday and is now unlikely to play in Week 16 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Head coach Doug Pederson said earlier this week that Lawrence was "progressing well" in the league's concussion protocol, but it apparently hasn't been enough to get him onto the field […]

Four Teams Still In On Yariel Rodriguez

The Toronto Blue Jays, Pittsburgh Pirates, Houston Astros and New York Yankees are still in the bidding for Cuban right-handed free-agent Yariel Rodriguez, according to sources. The teams in the running aren't expected to make a decision on the 26-year-old until Japanese right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto chooses his team, though. Rodriguez formally became a free agent […]

Ty Blach Re-Signs With Rockies

Left-hander Ty Blach re-signed with the Colorado Rockies on a minor-league deal on Thursday, according to a source. The deal includes an invitation to big-league spring training. Blach had an opportunity to go and pitch in the Korean Baseball Organization as well but chose to stay in the Rockies organization. The 33-year-old left-hander hasn't been […]

Johnny Cueto Intends To Pitch In 2024

Free-agent veteran right-hander Johnny Cueto is interested in pitching for the Estrellas Orientales during next month's round-robin playoff in the Dominican Winter League. He will turn 38 years old in February but intends to pitch in his 17th big-league season in 2024. Cueto has a 4.04 ERA over 325 1/3 innings in the last three […]

Giants Out Of The Bidding On Yoshinobu Yamamoto?

The San Francisco Giants have been told they are out of the bidding for Japanese free-agent right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto, according to a source familiar with the discussions. The Giants were pushing hard to add Yamamoto to the top of their starting rotation next to Logan Webb, but the expectation is that he will end up […]

Jasson Dominguez Should Be Back "Sooner Rather Than Later"

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that outfielder Jasson Dominguez (elbow) is doing "really well" and that he should look "a lot like a regular player" in spring training. There hasn't been anything new on a timeline for Dominguez's return, but Boone is optimistic he will be back "sooner rather than later." The team's […]

Brewers Might Hang Onto Corbin Burnes

The possibility exists that the Milwaukee Brewers might hang onto right-hander Corbin Burnes for the start of the 2024 season because of owner Mark Attanasio's desire to compete and avoid the type of backlash the team received for trading closer Josh Hader at the 2022 deadline, according to major-league sources briefed on the team's thinking. […]

Phillies Have Made An Offer To Yoshinobu Yamamoto

The Philadelphia Phillies have made an offer to Japanese free-agent right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto. It's a bid odd, considering president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski has said several times that their five-man starting rotation is set after re-signing right-hander Aaron Nola for $172 million earlier this offseason. Philadelphia will have their highest payroll ever in 2024, […]

Giants All-In On Yoshinobu Yamamoto

According to those familiar with San Francisco Giants president Farhan Zaidi's thinking, he has never been so all-in on a free agent in his six years while leading the Giants' baseball operations group as he has been this winter for Japanese right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto. The Giants have the financial flexibility to sign Yamamoto and to […]

Raheem Mostert Sits Out Again Thursday

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (ankle, knee) was absent from practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Two straight days of missed practice would normally raise the alarm for fantasy managers, but the Dolphins have also listed veteran rest next to Mostert's name. As long as the 31-year-old returns to the practice field […]

Treylon Burks Out Sick Again

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks (illness) missed a second straight day of practice on Thursday due to an illness. Meanwhile, fellow receiver Kyle Philips (hamstring) returned to a limited practice after sitting out Wednesday's session. Burks is going to need to return to the practice field on Friday to avoid being ruled out for […]

Will Levis Sits Out Of Practice Again

Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Will Levis (ankle) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Veteran Ryan Tannehill got extensive work with the offense once again and is in line to start this weekend against the Seattle Seahawks if Levis is forced out due to his high-ankle sprain. Tannehill hasn't played since Oct. 15 […]

Kendre Miller Will Be Inactive Thursday Night

New Orleans Saints rookie running back Kendre Miller (ankle) will be inactive for Thursday night's contest against the Los Angeles Rams, according to a source. Miller returned to practice this week on a limited basis for the first time since spraining his ankle in Week 9. However, the 21-year-old third-rounder from TCU will still end […]

Travis Kelce Dealing With Neck Injury

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (neck) is dealing with a neck injury following the Week 15 win over the New England Patriots, although he was able to practice in full on Thursday. Kelce looked to be in some pain late in Sunday's win over the Pats, but the injury doesn't appear to be […]

Isiah Pacheco Back On Track After Full Practice

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (shoulder) returned to a full practice on Thursday. Pacheco didn't practice or play at all the last two weeks, but the Chiefs expect him to return for the Christmas Day battle on Monday against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders. Fantasy managers should have already thrown Pacheco back into […]

Michael Mayer Dealing With Toe Ailment

Las Vegas Raiders rookie tight end Michael Mayer (toe) missed the team's first practice of the week on Thursday due to a toe injury. It remains to be seen if Mayer's toe injury is serious enough to keep him out for Monday's Christmas Day game against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs. The 22-year-old is coming […]
