Brock Purdy Practices In Full Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder) was a full participant in the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday. Purdy has suffered stingers in his left (non-throwing) shoulder in each of the last two games, so he's definitely hurting, but it's not going to keep the MVP candidate from playing in Week 17 […]

Deebo Samuel Dealing With Sprained Neck

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (neck) is dealing with a sprained neck and was limited in the team's first practice on Wednesday. Samuel, along with several other Niners players, was injured in the Monday night loss to the Baltimore Ravens and could be questionable to play in Week 17 in an excellent matchup […]

Noah Fant A Spectator At Practice

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (knee) didn't practice with the rest of the team on Wednesday. Fant is now up in the air to play in Week 17 against the Pittsburgh Steelers unless he's able to return to practice on Thursday or Friday. If the 26-year-old doesn't play this weekend, Will Dissly would see […]

Jaxon Smith-Njigba Limited By Knee Injury

Seattle Seahawks wide receivers Jaxon Smith-Njigba (knee) and Jake Bobo (knee) were both limited in Wednesday's practice due to knee injuries. Smith-Njigba, a first-round pick back in the spring, has been pretty steady in his first NFL season as the No. 3 wideout behind DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, catching 59 of his 86 targets […]

Kenneth Walker III Misses First Day Of Practice On Wednesday

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (illness, shoulder) was listed as a non-participant in the team's practice session on Wednesday due to an illness and a shoulder injury. A shoulder injury kept Walker from practicing until Friday of last week, but he ended up suiting up in Sunday's win over the Tennessee Titans and […]

Mason Rudolph Scheduled To Start Again In Week 17

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph is "scheduled to be the quarterback for the week," according to head coach Mike Tomlin. Similar to last week, the Steelers will see where Kenny Pickett (ankle) is as his ankle injury progresses. Pickett was listed as limited in Wednesday's practice. He had tightrope surgery on his ankle and has […]

Brett Kennedy Re-Signs With Reds

The Cincinnati Reds re-signed right-hander Brett Kennedy to a minor-league deal. Kennedy pitched for his second different team in the majors in 2023 when he made five appearances (two starts) for the Reds this past season. In 18 innings, he had a 6.50 ERA (4.64 FIP) and 1.44 WHIP while walking seven and striking out […]

Rangers Sign Diego Castillo, Andrew Knapp, Others

The Texas Rangers signed free-agent right-handers Diego Castillo, Jesus Tinoco and Gerardo Carrillo, outfielders Sandro Fabian, Elier Hernandez and Derek Hill, and catcher Andrew Knapp to minor-league deals with invitations to major-league spring training on Wednesday. Castillo, 29, allowed six earned runs in just 8 2/3 relief innings for the Seattle Mariners this year, but […]

Mets Sign Chad Smith To Minors Deal

The New York Mets signed free-agent right-hander Chad Smith to a minor-league deal with an invitation to major-league spring training. Smith became a free agent when he refused an outright assignment to the minors with the Oakland Athletics. The 28-year-old only appeared in 10 games out of the Oakland bullpen in 2023 and wasn't effective, […]

Reds Sign Conner Capel To Minor-League Deal

The Cincinnati Reds signed free-agent outfielder Conner Capel to a minor-league deal on Tuesday that includes an invitation to major-league camp in spring training. Capel will give the Reds some minor-league depth heading into the 2024 season. The 26-year-old played in 32 games for the Oakland Athletics last season, going 19-for-73 (.260) with no home […]

Wander Franco To Be Questioned By Police Thursday

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco has been officially summoned by police in the Dominican Republic to appear for questioning on Thursday, according to sources. Franco is currently under investigation by police and Major League Baseball for alleged inappropriate relationships with minors. Allegations that Franco was in a relationship with a minor surfaced on social […]

Chris Moore Limited, Kyle Philips A Full Go In Practice

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Chris Moore (ribs) was limited in Wednesday's practice, while Kyle Philips (hamstring) was a full-go. Even with Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (hand) done for the year, Moore doesn't have a very big role in Tennessee's offense as the No. 3 receiver behind DeAndre Hopkins and Treylon Burks. The 30-year-old veteran caught only one […]

Will Levis A Full-Go On Wednesday

Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Will Levis (ankle) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. Levis isn't pain-free after spraining his ankle in Week 15, but he's feeling much better and is on track to make another start in Week 17 versus the Houston Texans on Sunday. Veteran Ryan Tannehill threw for over 200 yards […]

Robbie Chosen Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Robbie Chosen (concussion) was held out of the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday. Chosen is improving from a concussion that he suffered in the Week 16 win over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, but that doesn't mean he'll be able to clear the NFL's concussion protocol in time […]

Tua Tagovailoa On The Week 17 Injury Report

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (quadriceps, thumb) is listed on the Week 17 injury report with multiple injuries and was limited in the team's practice on Wednesday. Tagovailoa isn't 100 percent healthy heading into a big-time matchup against the Baltimore Ravens this Sunday, but his two injuries also don't appear to be serious enough to […]

Russell Wilson Expected To Be Cut In March

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson is expecting to be cut by the Broncos in March, according to league sources. Wilson has been starting for Denver for almost two months while knowing the organization would likely move on from him after this season. The team made it aware to Wilson's representation in late October that he […]

Marquise Brown Misses Wednesday's Practice

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown (heel) was listed as a non-participant in the team's practice on Wednesday. Brown aggravated an ongoing heel injury in Week 15 and didn't practice last week or play in the Week 16 loss to the Chicago Bears. It doesn't look like the 26-year-old is on track to play this […]

Alexander Mattison Limited In Wednesday's Practice

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison (ankle) was estimated as a limited participant in the team's walkthrough practice on Wednesday. A right-ankle sprain cost Mattison the team's Week 15 contest, but he returned in this past Sunday's loss to the division-rival Detroit Lions. However, the 25-year-old only played five offensive snaps and handled two carries […]

Jordan Addison Picks Up DNP Wednesday

The Minnesota Vikings listed wide receivers Jordan Addison (ankle) and Jalen Nailor (concussion) as non-participants on their estimated practice report on Wednesday. Addison injured his ankle in the Week 16 loss to the Detroit Lions and was considered day-to-day by head coach Kevin O'Connell on Tuesday. Whether the 21-year-old can get back onto the practice […]

Zay Flowers Listed As DNP For Walkthrough

The Baltimore Ravens listed rookie wide receiver Zay Flowers (calf) as a non-participant for their walkthrough practice on Wednesday. The Ravens took it easy on Wednesday after beating the San Francisco 49ers handily on Monday night. If the 23-year-old is able to return to practice on Thursday, he should have a pretty good shot at […]

Greg Dulcich Still Not Practicing In Week 17

Denver Broncos tight end Greg Dulcich (foot, hamstring) remained sidelined at the team's first practice session of the week on Wednesday. Dulcich was designated to return from Injured Reserve on Dec. 13 but has yet to officially be activated from IR. Now that the Broncos are extremely unlikely to sneak into the playoff picture in […]

Courtland Sutton Not At Wednesday's Practice

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton (concussion) was not present at the team's practice on Wednesday after suffering a concussion in Sunday night's Christmas Eve loss to the New England Patriots. The 28-year-old gave fantasy managers a donut as an early Christmas present on Sunday when he failed to corral his only target against the […]

Michael Mayer Unable To Practice Wednesday

Las Vegas Raiders tight ends Michael Mayer (toe) and Jesper Horsted (hamstring) were both unable to practice with the rest of the team on Wednesday during their walkthrough. Neither Mayer nor Horsted were active for Monday's Christmas Day upset of the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs. With both tight ends out, Austin Hooper didn't exactly benefit […]

Josh Jacobs Still Being Held Out Of Practice

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (quadriceps) was held out of the team's walkthrough practice on Wednesday. Jacobs has two days left to get back onto the practice field, but if he doesn't, he'll be staring at a third straight absence for the Raiders. Fantasy managers that made it to their championship matchups in […]

Chris Rodriguez Jr. Misses Practice Wednesday

Washington Commanders rookie running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. (ankle) was unable to practice with the team on Wednesday. Rodriguez injured his ankle in the Week 16 loss to the New York Jets and was wearing a walking boot after Sunday's game, so there's a real chance he won't be available to Washington in Week 17 […]

Brian Robinson Jr. Back On The Practice Field

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) returned to practice on Wednesday and put in a limited session. Robinson has missed the last two games with a hamstring injury but could be trending toward returning for a Week 17 contest versus the visiting San Francisco 49ers. Rookie Chris Rodriguez Jr. (ankle) also did not […]

Zay Jones Listed As Limited Wednesday

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones (hamstring, knee) was listed as a limited participant in the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday. Jones missed the team's Week 16 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers due to a hamstring injury he picked up the week prior. However, a return to practice early this week […]

Trevor Lawrence Feeling Better, Still Misses Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) said his right shoulder is feeling better but he's not going to do much throwing this week as he tries to play in Week 17 against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. Lawrence was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice. He suffered a sprained AC joint in the third […]

Rhamondre Stevenson's Season Is Over

The New England Patriots placed running back Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday to make room for cornerback Marco Wilson, according to a source. Stevenson missed practice on Wednesday, hasn't played the last three games due to an ankle sprain and will now miss the final two regular season games for the Patriots. […]

Kendre Miller Limited On Wednesday

New Orleans Saints rookie running back Kendre Miller (ankle) was able to put in a limited practice on Wednesday. Miller is making progress from a sprained ankle that has caused him to miss the last six games. If the 21-year-old is able to ramp up his practice activity later this week, he could be active […]
