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 […]

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. Jones isn't in any real danger of missing the team's must-win Week 18 regular season finale against the visiting Chicago Bears this weekend. 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. Watson could be on track to end his four-game absence from a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 13, although a full practice on Friday would really boost his […]

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. Smith sprained his right ankle in the Week 17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals and is in jeopardy of being rested for the Week 18 regular season finale on Sunday against the […]

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. As long as the Cheetah returns to practice on Friday, he should be ready to play on Sunday night in a big divisional clash against the […]

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. Toney returned to a limited practice on Wednesday, while Rice has now missed the first two practices of the week. With the Chiefs locked into the No. 3 seed in the AFC for […]

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 […]
