Mookie Betts Expected To Play Second Base Frequently In 2024

Los Angeles Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes said outfielder Mookie Betts playing second base against right-handers is expected to be a frequent occurrence again next season.

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle) made his return to practice on Wednesday and was listed as a limited participant.

Will Levis Managing Foot Injury

Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Will Levis (foot) finds himself on the Week 10 injury report with a foot injury, but he was listed as a full practice participant on Wednesday.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Curtis Samuel (toe) was listed as a limited participant in the first official practice of the week on Wednesday.

Jahan Dotson Expected Back At Practice Thursday

Washington Commanders wide receiver Jahan Dotson (personal) missed practice on Wednesday for personal reasons but is expected to return on Thursday.

Kenneth Walker III Misses Wednesday's Practice

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (chest) was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice due to a chest injury. Fellow RB DeeJay Dallas (shoulder) also sat out.

Aaron Jones Can't Shake Hamstring Injury

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (hamstring) remains on the Week 10 injury report and was limited in the team's practice on Wednesday.

Tee Higgins Limited With Hamstring Injury

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (hamstring) popped up on the Week 10 injury report with a hamstring injury and was listed as limited in practice on Wednesday.

K.J. Osborn Still In Concussion Protocol

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver K.J. Osborn (concussion) was diagnosed with a concussion after a scary injury in the Week 9 win over the Atlanta Falcons.

T.J. Hockenson Limited With Ribs Injury

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson (ribs) injured his ribs in the Week 9 win over the Atlanta Falcons and was limited in the first official practice of the week on Wednesday.

Nico Collins On The Week 10 Injury Report

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins (calf) popped up on the Week 10 injury report on Wednesday and was listed as a limited practice participant. Collins didn't do anything during the portion of practice open to the media, but he evidently got some work in before everything was said and done. Fantasy managers will still […]
