Ty Johnson Stays Limited In Thursday's Practice

For the second straight day this week, Buffalo Bills running back Ty Johnson (shoulder) was limited in practice on Thursday. Johnson could be deemed questionable for the Week 17 game against the New England Patriots on Sunday, but he at least has a chance to return to the fold after sitting out of last Saturday's […]

C.J. Gardner-Johnson Won't Return In Week 17

Detroit Lions safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson (pectoral) and linebacker James Houston (ankle) have been ruled out for the Week 17 game against the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday night. Cornerback Cameron Sutton (toe) is also questionable. Gardner-Johnson was limited in practice all week but still isn't quite ready to return and will miss his 14th straight game […]

Kyle Hamilton Calls Himself Day-To-Day

Baltimore Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton (knee) is unsure whether he'll play in Sunday's big Week 17 game against the Miami Dolphins. "It's day by day. I'm still evaluating. [It's a] short week. [We've] got a day less to kind of evaluate everything, but I'm going to do everything I can to make it to the […]

Luke Musgrave Limited Again Thursday

Green Bay Packers rookie tight end Luke Musgrave (kidney) put in his second straight day of limited practice on Thursday. Musgrave remains on Injured Reserve but is trying to get himself ready to return for the tail end of the 2023 regular season. The 23-year-old has been sidelined since suffering a lacerated kidney in Week […]

Aaron Jones, AJ Dillon Limited Again Thursday

Green Bay Packers running backs Aaron Jones (finger, knee) and AJ Dillon (thumb) were both limited in the team's practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Both Jones and Dillon were on the injury report going into Sunday's win over the Carolina Panthers but they ended up playing. Jones had a solid […]

Another Limited Practice For Jayden Reed

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Jayden Reed (chest, toe) was limited in the team's practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Reed missed the team's Week 16 win over the Carolina Panthers, a game in which fellow receiver Dontayvion Wicks (ankle, chest) was also injured. The 23-year-old second-rounder looks to have a chance […]

Noah Brown Stays Limited Thursday

Houston Texans wide receiver Noah Brown (knee) stayed limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Brown missed Weeks 11 and 12 due to a knee injury and then failed to catch a pass on seen targets in Weeks 13 and 14. He's been more involved the last two weeks, though, with rookie […]

Nico Collins Upgrades To Full Practice Thursday

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins (calf) was a full participant in Thursday's practice after being limited in the first practice of the week on Wednesday. Collins missed a game in Week 15 due to his calf injury before returning in last week's loss to the Cleveland Browns in which he played less than half […]

Jauan Jennings, Jordan Mason Miss Thursday's Practice

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (concussion), running back Jordan Mason (illness) and tight end Ross Dwelley (ankle) were non-participants in practice on Thursday. Jennings suffered a concussion in Week 15, didn't play in the Week 16 loss to the Baltimore Ravens and seems unlikely to return in Week 17 when the team faces […]

Elijah Mitchell A Full-Go Again Thursday

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) was a full participant in practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Mitchell will be returning to action this weekend versus the Washington Commanders after missing the last three games due to his knee injury. Now that Mitchell is ready to return in Week […]

Deebo Samuel Limited Again Thursday

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (neck) was a limited participant in the team's practice on Thursday for the second straight day. Samuel is dealing with a sprained neck that he suffered in the Week 16 Monday night loss to the Baltimore Ravens, but the fact he's been practicing so far this week bodes […]

Brian Robinson Jr. Limited Again Thursday

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) had his repetitions limited for the second straight day on Thursday in practice. It's good news for Robinson, who hasn't played since getting hurt in Week 13 (the team had its bye in Week 14). If the 24-year-old can get back to a full practice on Friday, […]

Elijah Moore Ruled Out With Head Injury

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Elijah Moore (head) suffered a head injury late in the second quarter of the Thursday night game against the New York Jets and was ruled out for the rest of the game at the start of the second half. Moore was probably put through the league's concussion protocol and wasn't allowed […]

Marquise Brown Picks Up Second Straight DNP

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown (heel) was listed as a non-participant in practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Brown missed the Week 16 loss to the Chicago Bears and was lifted from his last two games early due to his heel injury. In fact, because of those early exits, the […]

Noah Fant A Full-Go On Thursday

After he was absent from practice on Wednesday, Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (knee) was a full practice participant on Thursday. It's a sign that Fant will be good to go for Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Receiver DK Metcalf (back) might be in danger of playing in Week 17 after being added […]

Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Jake Bobo Upgrade To Full Practice

Seattle Seahawks wide receivers Jaxon Smith-Njigba (knee) and Jake Bobo (knee) both upgraded from a limited practice on Wednesday to a full practice session on Thursday, so both wideouts should be active for a Week 17 contest versus the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Fellow wideout DK Metcalf is dealing with a new back injury […]

Kenneth Walker III Misses Another Practice Thursday

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker (illness, shoulder) missed a second straight day of practice on Thursday. It's never good for a player to miss the first two practices of the week, but Walker could still play in Week 17 against the Pittsburgh Steelers if he can return to at least a limited practice on […]

DK Metcalf Dealing With Back Injury

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (back) was added to the Week 17 injury report on Thursday after he was unable to practice due to a new back injury. Receiver Dee Eskridge (ribs) also missed practice for the second straight day. Fantasy managers are going to need to keep a close eye on Metcalf's status […]

Greg Dulcich Hasn't Practiced This Week

Denver Broncos tight end Greg Dulcich (foot, hamstring) missed his second day of practice this week on Thursday. It's looking more and more likely that Dulcich, who remains on Injured Reserve, won't return to play in 2023 with the Broncos' playoff chances on life support after losing their last two games. The 23-year-old second-year tight […]

Marvin Mims Jr. Added To Week 17 Injury Report

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. (hamstring) was added to the Week 17 injury report on Thursday following his limited practice. It remains to be seen if Mims' downgrade in practice status is an actual injury that could keep him from playing this Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers or if it's something […]

Courtland Sutton Out Again On Thursday

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol and missed his second straight practice of the week on Thursday. Sutton was forced from Denver's Christmas Eve loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday due to a concussion and is now in jeopardy of missing his first game of the […]

Israel Abanikanda Active For Thursday Night Football

New York Jets rookie running back Israel Abanikanda (ankle) is officially active on Thursday night against the Cleveland Browns after coming into the game listed as questionable on the final Week 17 injury report. With the Jets playing out the string the last couple weeks, Abanikanda saw a season-high nine carries for 43 yards in […]

Greg Zuerlein Good To Go Thursday Night

New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein (quadriceps), who was listed as questionable to play in Week 17, is officially active for the Thursday night game against the Cleveland Browns. Zuerlein already wasn't much of a fantasy option to begin with coming into this game, and fantasy managers should really be avoiding him in championship matchups […]

Allen Lazard Out Sick Thursday, Randall Cobb Active

New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard (illness) is inactive for the Week 17 game on Thursday night against the Cleveland Browns after coming into the game listed as questionable to play. As a result of Lazard being too ill to play, veteran Randall Cobb will be active for just the 10th time this season. […]

Marquise Goodwin Active Versus Jets

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (knee), who was listed as questionable to play on Thursday night, is officially active and will suit up to face the visiting New York Jets. Top wideout Amari Cooper (heel) will sit out just days after setting a franchise record with 265 receiving yards in the win over the […]

Amari Cooper Inactive On Thursday Night

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper (heel) is surprisingly inactive for the Thursday night game in Week 17 against the New York Jets. Cooper is going to leave his fantasy managers hanging in championship matchups just several days after vaulting them into the finals with an 11-catch, 265-yard, two-touchdown performance in the win over the […]

Mets, Angels Looking At J.D. Martinez

The New York Mets and Los Angeles Angels are eyeing top free-agent designated hitter J.D. Martinez this offseason. Martinez's old Arizona Diamondbacks team is also seeking a hitter this winter, although it's unclear if they'd be interested in a reunion. Veteran Justin Turner is another option that could be a fit with the Mets, Angels […]

Unclear If Mets Going After Blake Snell, Jordan Montgomery

After missing out on Japanese right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto, it's uncertain if the New York Mets will pursue top remaining free-agent starters Blake Snell and Jordan Montgomery, who are also drawing interest from the Los Angeles Angels, San Francisco Giants, Philadelphia Phillies, Boston Red Sox and others. The Mets have been linked more to the next […]

Andrelton Simmons Announces His Retirement

Shortstop Andrelton Simmons officially announced his retirement from professional baseball on Thursday. Simmons wraps up a lengthy MLB career after spending 11 seasons with the Atlanta Braves, Los Angeles Angels, Minnesota Twins and Chicago Cubs. The 34-year-old last played in the majors with the Cubs in 2022, when he went 13-for-75 (.173) with no home […]

Reds Re-Sign Buck Farmer

The Cincinnati Reds re-signed relief pitcher Buck Farmer to a one-year deal worth $2.25 million on Thursday and designated outfielder Bubba Thompson for assignment in a corresponding move. The 32-year-old right-hander has been a middle reliever for the Reds each of the past two seasons and has posted a combined 4.06 ERA (4.00 FIP) and […]
