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.

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.

Aaron Jones Stays Limited In Week 18

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (finger, knee) was limited in the team's practice for the second straight day on Thursday.

Backfield mate AJ Dillon (neck, thumb) has yet to practice […]

Christian Watson, Jayden Reed Limited Again Thursday

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Christian Watson (hamstring) and Jayden Reed (chest) were both limited in practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week.

AJ Dillon Missing Again On Thursday

Green Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon (neck, thumb) is missing a second straight day of practice this week on Thursday. A fractured right thumb kept Dillon sidelined in Week 15, and in two games since his return, he's carried the ball only 14 times for just 39 yards and one touchdown. The bruising RB […]

DeVonta Smith Not Practicing Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (ankle) didn't take part in the team's walkthrough on Wednesday and is not practicing on Thursday, either.

Raheem Mostert Not Seen At Practice Thursday

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (ankle, knee) wasn't seen at the period of practice open to the media on Thursday. If Mostert picks up a DNP on Thursday, it will be his second straight day of missed practice after he missed his first game of the year in the Week 17 loss to the […]

Christian Kirk Back At Practice Thursday

After returning to practice on Wednesday, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk (groin) was back on the practice field on Thursday as he continues to make his way back from a core muscle injury that landed him on Injured Reserve and required surgery. The Florida Times-Union's Demetrius Harvey says that Kirk isn't at full speed, […]

Trevor Lawrence Does Some Throwing Thursday

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) did some throwing on Thursday at the portion of practice open to the media, which is a positive sign as he attempts to play in a must-win Week 18 contest against the Tennessee Titans this Sunday. Lawrence put in a limited practice on Wednesday after missing the Week 17 […]

Tyreek Hill Not At Thursday's Practice

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (ankle, personal) was not present at practice on Thursday. Hill was listed as limited for the first practice of the week on Wednesday.

Commanders To Rest Veterans In Week 18?

NBC Sports Washington's JP Finlay writes that he's getting the vibe that a lot of the Washington Commanders' veterans will be rested in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Dallas Cowboys this Sunday. The Commanders aren't in playoff contention and have nothing to play for besides draft positioning and spoiling the Cowboys' shot […]

Kadarius Toney, Rashee Rice Not Practicing Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receivers Kadarius Toney (hip) and Rashee Rice (hamstring) will not take part in the team's practice on Thursday.

Dustin Hopkins Not Practicing Thursday

Cleveland Browns kicker Dustin Hopkins (hamstring) remained sidelined at practice on Thursday. Hopkins was forced to sit out on a short week in last Thursday night's win over the New York Jets and doesn't appear close to returning for a meaningless Week 18 regular season finale against the Cincinnati Bengals this Sunday. The most likely […]

Amari Cooper Missing Another Practice

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper (heel) is missing another day of practice on Thursday. Cooper set a franchise record with 265 receiving yards and two touchdowns in the Week 16 win over the Houston Texans and then missed last Thursday's win over the New York Jets due to a heel injury. The Browns are […]

Curtis Samuel Misses Thursday's Practice With Hamstring Injury

Washington Commanders wide receiver Curtis Samuel (hamstring) was on the initial Week 18 injury report on Wednesday but practiced in full, so his downgrade to a non-participant on Thursday should raise some eyebrows. It's possible the Commanders are just resting the 27-year-old wideout heading into the final game of their season, but we'll have a […]

NFC South Teams Interested In Bill Belichick?

According to a source, there are teams in the NFC South with potential interest in New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick.

Baker Mayfield Back At Practice Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (ribs) is dressed and practicing on Thursday after being listed as a DNP on Wednesday. He warmed up with his teammates and was throwing a little bit.

Mets Sign Harrison Bader

The New York Mets signed free-agent outfielder Harrison Bader to a one-year deal for approximately $10 million, according to a source. The Mets have been looking for help in the outfield this offseason, and Bader should immediately slot in as their primary center fielder in 2024, which will allow Brandon Nimmo to slide over to […]

Braves Sign Chris Sale To Two-Year Deal

The Atlanta Braves signed veteran left-hander Chris Sale to a two-year, $38 million deal on Thursday that includes an $18 million club option for 2026. The move comes five days after they acquired Sale from the Boston Red Sox. The 34-year-old southpaw had one year plus a 2025 option left on his previous contract. He […]

DeVante Parker Has Reps Capped Wednesday

New England Patriots wide receivers DeVante Parker (ribs) and Matthew Slater (hamstring) were listed as limited participants in Wednesday's practice.

Pharaoh Brown, Hunter Henry Limited In Practice

New England Patriots tight ends Pharaoh Brown (ribs) and Hunter Henry (knee) were both listed as limited in the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday. Henry has missed the last two games with a knee injury but appears closer to returning for the Week 18 regular season finale on Sunday against the New […]
