Noah Fant Added To Week 16 Injury Report

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (toe) was added to the Week 16 injury report on Thursday, but he was still able to put in a full practice session. It's worth noting, but as long as Fant practices again on Friday, he should be just fine to play this Sunday in Tennessee against the Titans. […]

Geno Smith Puts In Second Straight Full Practice

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith (groin) appears to be on track to play in Week 16 against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday after putting in a second straight full practice on Thursday. Smith has missed the last two games, although he was active as the backup to Drew Lock in Monday's upset win over the […]

Kenneth Walker III Misses Another Day Of Practice

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (shoulder) missed a second straight day of practice on Thursday due to a new shoulder injury that he apparently picked up in Monday night's upset win over the Philadelphia Eagles. We'll have a better idea of Walker's status on Friday, but he's firmly up in the air to […]

Jaguars Unlikely To Have Trevor Lawrence In Week 16

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (concussion) missed practice again on Thursday and is now unlikely to play in Week 16 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Head coach Doug Pederson said earlier this week that Lawrence was "progressing well" in the league's concussion protocol, but it apparently hasn't been enough to get him onto the field […]

Four Teams Still In On Yariel Rodriguez

The Toronto Blue Jays, Pittsburgh Pirates, Houston Astros and New York Yankees are still in the bidding for Cuban right-handed free-agent Yariel Rodriguez, according to sources. The teams in the running aren't expected to make a decision on the 26-year-old until Japanese right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto chooses his team, though. Rodriguez formally became a free agent […]

Ty Blach Re-Signs With Rockies

Left-hander Ty Blach re-signed with the Colorado Rockies on a minor-league deal on Thursday, according to a source. The deal includes an invitation to big-league spring training. Blach had an opportunity to go and pitch in the Korean Baseball Organization as well but chose to stay in the Rockies organization. The 33-year-old left-hander hasn't been […]

Johnny Cueto Intends To Pitch In 2024

Free-agent veteran right-hander Johnny Cueto is interested in pitching for the Estrellas Orientales during next month's round-robin playoff in the Dominican Winter League. He will turn 38 years old in February but intends to pitch in his 17th big-league season in 2024. Cueto has a 4.04 ERA over 325 1/3 innings in the last three […]

Giants Out Of The Bidding On Yoshinobu Yamamoto?

The San Francisco Giants have been told they are out of the bidding for Japanese free-agent right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto, according to a source familiar with the discussions. The Giants were pushing hard to add Yamamoto to the top of their starting rotation next to Logan Webb, but the expectation is that he will end up […]

Jasson Dominguez Should Be Back "Sooner Rather Than Later"

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that outfielder Jasson Dominguez (elbow) is doing "really well" and that he should look "a lot like a regular player" in spring training. There hasn't been anything new on a timeline for Dominguez's return, but Boone is optimistic he will be back "sooner rather than later." The team's […]

Brewers Might Hang Onto Corbin Burnes

The possibility exists that the Milwaukee Brewers might hang onto right-hander Corbin Burnes for the start of the 2024 season because of owner Mark Attanasio's desire to compete and avoid the type of backlash the team received for trading closer Josh Hader at the 2022 deadline, according to major-league sources briefed on the team's thinking. […]

Phillies Have Made An Offer To Yoshinobu Yamamoto

The Philadelphia Phillies have made an offer to Japanese free-agent right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto. It's a bid odd, considering president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski has said several times that their five-man starting rotation is set after re-signing right-hander Aaron Nola for $172 million earlier this offseason. Philadelphia will have their highest payroll ever in 2024, […]

Giants All-In On Yoshinobu Yamamoto

According to those familiar with San Francisco Giants president Farhan Zaidi's thinking, he has never been so all-in on a free agent in his six years while leading the Giants' baseball operations group as he has been this winter for Japanese right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto. The Giants have the financial flexibility to sign Yamamoto and to […]

Raheem Mostert Sits Out Again Thursday

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (ankle, knee) was absent from practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Two straight days of missed practice would normally raise the alarm for fantasy managers, but the Dolphins have also listed veteran rest next to Mostert's name. As long as the 31-year-old returns to the practice field […]

Treylon Burks Out Sick Again

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks (illness) missed a second straight day of practice on Thursday due to an illness. Meanwhile, fellow receiver Kyle Philips (hamstring) returned to a limited practice after sitting out Wednesday's session. Burks is going to need to return to the practice field on Friday to avoid being ruled out for […]

Will Levis Sits Out Of Practice Again

Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Will Levis (ankle) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Veteran Ryan Tannehill got extensive work with the offense once again and is in line to start this weekend against the Seattle Seahawks if Levis is forced out due to his high-ankle sprain. Tannehill hasn't played since Oct. 15 […]

Kendre Miller Will Be Inactive Thursday Night

New Orleans Saints rookie running back Kendre Miller (ankle) will be inactive for Thursday night's contest against the Los Angeles Rams, according to a source. Miller returned to practice this week on a limited basis for the first time since spraining his ankle in Week 9. However, the 21-year-old third-rounder from TCU will still end […]

Travis Kelce Dealing With Neck Injury

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (neck) is dealing with a neck injury following the Week 15 win over the New England Patriots, although he was able to practice in full on Thursday. Kelce looked to be in some pain late in Sunday's win over the Pats, but the injury doesn't appear to be […]

Isiah Pacheco Back On Track After Full Practice

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (shoulder) returned to a full practice on Thursday. Pacheco didn't practice or play at all the last two weeks, but the Chiefs expect him to return for the Christmas Day battle on Monday against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders. Fantasy managers should have already thrown Pacheco back into […]

Michael Mayer Dealing With Toe Ailment

Las Vegas Raiders rookie tight end Michael Mayer (toe) missed the team's first practice of the week on Thursday due to a toe injury. It remains to be seen if Mayer's toe injury is serious enough to keep him out for Monday's Christmas Day game against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs. The 22-year-old is coming […]

No Practice For Josh Jacobs On Thursday

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (quadriceps) was held out of the team's first practice of the week on Thursday. The Raiders are optimistic that Jacobs will be able to return in Week 16 for a Christmas Day game against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs on Monday, but it's not a great sign that […]

Matt Gay Back At Practice Thursday

Indianapolis Colts kicker Matt Gay (hip) missed Wednesday's practice with a right-hip injury but was back on the practice field in a limited fashion on Thursday, giving him a chance to play on Sunday versus the Atlanta Falcons. As long as Gay doesn't suffer a setback with his hip in Friday's practice, the 29-year-old should […]

Zack Moss Trending In The Wrong Direction

Indianapolis Colts running back Zack Moss (forearm) missed his second straight day of practice this week on Thursday. Moss injured his forearm in the Week 15 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers last Saturday and is trending towards missing this Sunday's contest on the road in Atlanta against the Falcons. He has one more day on […]

Michael Pittman Jr. On The Right Track In Week 16

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (concussion, shoulder) was able to put in a full practice on Thursday following a limited session he had on Wednesday. Pittman is in the league's concussion protocol after taking a hard hit in last Saturday's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, but it looks like he's on his way […]

Ty Johnson Questionable To Face Chargers

Buffalo Bills running back Ty Johnson (shoulder) was limited in practice all week and is officially listed as questionable to play on Saturday night against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 16. Johnson injured his shoulder in the Week 15 blowout win over the Dallas Cowboys and now might have to miss a game. The […]

D'Onta Foreman Takes Personal Day Thursday

Chicago Bears running back D'Onta Foreman did not practice with the team on Thursday due to a personal issue. The Bears have another day of practice on Friday before the final designations are listed for Week 16 on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. As long as Foreman returns on Friday, he should be available to […]

Darnell Mooney Returns To Full Practice Thursday

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney (illness) was under the weather and didn't practice with the team on Wednesday but he was clearly feeling better on Thursday and was listed as a full participant. Mooney shouldn't have any issues getting ready to play this Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, and he could be in for […]

Cole Kmet Added To Week 16 Injury Report

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet (quadriceps) was added to the Week 16 injury report on Thursday after he put in a limited practice. Kmet must have injured himself in practice on Thursday, so his status on Friday will be of added significance as the team gets ready to face the visiting Arizona Cardinals this […]

Chargers Rule Out Keenan Allen For Week 16

The Los Angeles Chargers have ruled out wide receiver Keenan Allen (heel) for the Week 16 contest versus the Buffalo Bills on Saturday evening. The Chargers have seemingly thrown in the towel on their 2023 season as they sit in last place in the AFC West after already losing quarterback Justin Herbert (finger) for the […]

Rams Activate Ronnie Rivers From Injured Reserve

The Los Angeles Rams activated running back Ronnie Rivers (knee) from Injured Reserve prior to Thursday night's game against the New Orleans Saints. Rivers, 24, hasn't played since Week 6 and can be ignored in the vast majority of fantasy leagues now that he's back. He will be providing more RB depth for the Rams […]

Marquise Brown, Greg Dortch Miss Another Practice

Arizona Cardinals wide receivers Marquise Brown (heel) and Greg Dortch (shoulder) were not seen in the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Brown has exited the team's last two games due to a heel injury and hasn't caught a pass since Week 12. The 26-year-old […]
