Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Isiah Pacheco Missing From Practice

Kansas City Chiefs running backs Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness) and Isiah Pacheco (concussion, shoulder) were both missing from Thursday's practice. Pacheco returned from a two-game absence due to a shoulder injury on Christmas Day, only to suffer a concussion when he was kneed in the head after losing his helmet. The 24-year-old is now in danger […]

De'Von Achane Returns To Practice

Miami Dolphins rookie running back De'Von Achane (toe) was back on the practice field on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session. However, Achane didn't do much after the stretching period with the team, so he'll likely be listed as limited on the final report. The 22-year-old's toe injury is something he's been dealing with for several […]

Tyreek Hill Back On The Field Thursday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (ankle) returned to the practice field on Thursday after sitting out Wednesday's session for rest purposes. Hill tweaked his ankle in Week 14 and did not play in Week 15, but he returned for last Sunday's win over the Dallas Cowboys and led the team with nine catches on […]

Raheem Mostert Misses Another Practice Thursday

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (ankle, knee) missed a second straight practice on Thursday, although he's expected to play through his injuries in Week 17 on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. The Dolphins aren't all that concerned with Mostert's new knee injury that he picked up in the Week 16 win over the Dallas […]

Jaylen Waddle Remains Sidelined Thursday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (ankle) remained sidelined at practice on Thursday. Although Waddle's high-ankle sprain isn't believed to be all that serious, his status for the Week 17 showdown against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday is murky, especially if he isn't able to practice on Friday. Fantasy managers playing for a championship this […]

Taylor Decker Good To Go To Face Cowboys

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said that left tackle Taylor Decker (groin) will return to practice on Thursday and is good to go for the Week 17 game on Saturday against the Dallas Cowboys. Decker opened up the week with a limited practice showing on Tuesday before sitting out on Wednesday, but the fact […]

Ja'Marr Chase Unlikely To Play In Week 17?

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase (shoulder) did not practice with the team on Wednesday as he continues to deal with a separated right shoulder that he suffered in the Week 15 overtime win over the Minnesota Vikings. Chase's injury has a two- to four-week timetable, so NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said he'd be surprised […]

Riley Patterson Joins Browns Active Roster

The Cleveland Browns elevated kicker Riley Patterson from the practice squad to the active 53-man roster for Thursday night's contest against the New York Jets. The Browns signed Patterson to their practice squad on Christmas after Dustin Hopkins injured his hamstring in the Week 17 win over the Houston Texans. Hopkins has been ruled out […]

Raheem Mostert Expected To Play Through Ankle Injury

Miami Dolphins running backs coach Eric Studesville expects running back Raheem Mostert (ankle) to play through his new ankle injury in the Week 17 showdown against the Baltimore Ravens. Mostert has played through injuries all year, so this is nothing new for the NFL's leader in total touchdowns with 21 (18 rushing, three receiving). The […]

Trevor Lawrence Returns To Limited Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who suffered a sprained AC joint in his right throwing shoulder in the Week 16 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, returned to a limited practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday, according to head coach Doug Pederson. "If Trevor plays, we're all-in on that. If C.J. Beathard plays, […]

Commanders Put Chris Rodriguez Jr. On Injured Reserve

The Washington Commanders placed rookie running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. (ankle) on Injured Reserve on Thursday, meaning he will miss the final two games of the 2023 season. Rodriguez injured his right ankle in the Week 16 loss to the New York Jets, but not before carrying the ball 10 times for a season-high 58 […]

Jauan Jennings Doesn't Take Part In Walkthrough

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (concussion) didn't take part in the team's walkthrough practice on Wednesday. Jennings suffered a concussion in the Week 15 win over the Arizona Cardinals and didn't play in Monday night's loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Christmas. The 26-year-old has reportedly been making progress but has yet to […]

Elijah Mitchell Trending Toward Return In Week 17

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) was a full-go in practice on Wednesday and appears ready to return from a three-game absence when the team takes on the Washington Commanders this Sunday. Mitchell has only played in nine games this season, carrying the ball 44 times for 149 yards (3.39 yards per tote) […]

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 […]
