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 […]

No Practice For Zay Jones Thursday

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones (hamstring) missed a second straight day of practice this week on Thursday. After hurting his hamstring late in the Week 15 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, Jones is being considered week-to-week and probably isn't going to be ready to play by Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It's bad […]

Trevor Lawrence Not At Thursday's Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (ankle, concussion) missed his second straight practice this week on Thursday. Head coach Doug Pederson said Lawrence was "progressing well" through the league's concussion protocol earlier this week, but the fact he has yet to practice isn't a good sign for his availability for a Week 16 matchup against the […]

Christian Watson, Jayden Reed Miss Practice Again

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Christian Watson (hamstring) and Jayden Reed (toe, chest) both missed a second straight day of practice on Thursday. Watson injured his hamstring in Week 13 and hasn't played the last two weeks. It doesn't appear he's close to returning for Week 16 on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers. Reed, meanwhile, […]

Luke Musgrave Designated To Return From Injured Reserve

The Green Bay Packers opened rookie tight end Luke Musgrave's (kidney) 21-day practice window to be activated from Injured Reserve on Thursday. It comes a little more than a month after he suffered a lacerated kidney. The Packers now have 21 days to officially activate Musgrave from Injured Reserve. Musgrave won't actually practice on Thursday […]

C.J. Stroud Misses Another Practice

Houston Texans rookie first-round quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol and missed his second straight practice this week on Thursday. Stroud is trending toward missing his second straight game this weekend when the team takes on the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Fantasy managers are going to have to leave the 22-year-old […]

Kadarius Toney Won't Practice Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hip) will not practice on Thursday due to a strained hip. Toney strained his hip in the Week 15 win over the New England Patriots and is now firmly in danger of missing the team's Christmas Day game against the division-rival Las […]

Jerick McKinnon Misses Thursday's Practice

Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon (groin) did not practice with the team on Thursday due to a groin injury, according to head coach Andy Reid. The Chiefs are likely just resting McKinnon for their first practice of the week, but his status bears watching heading into Monday's Christmas Day matchup against the Las […]

Tyreek Hill Back At Practice Thursday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (ankle) returned to the practice field on Thursday after sitting out Wednesday's session. Hill tweaked his ankle in Week 14 and sat out of last week's blowout win over the New York Jets. Now that he's back at practice this week, he should have a good chance to return […]

Mecole Hardman Jr.'s Practice Window Opens

The Kansas City Chiefs opened the 21-day practice window for wide receiver Mecole Hardman Jr. (thumb) to return from Injured Reserve on Thursday. Hardman had successful surgery on his sprained right thumb and is now close to returning to the team. If he's going to be active on Christmas Day against the division-rival Las Vegas […]

Mason Rudolph To Start Against Bengals

With Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett (ankle) officially being ruled out for Week 16, Mason Rudolph will make his first start of the year on Saturday against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals with Mitch Trubisky backing him up, according to head coach Mike Tomlin. The Steelers were leaving the door open for Pickett to return after […]

Jaylon Johnson Wants To Stay With Bears

Chicago Bears star cornerback Jaylon Johnson said he'd rather sign a new contract with the Bears instead of testing the free-agent market. "I want to stay here," Johnson said. "I definitely want to get something done (here) first. But at the end of the day, if something doesn't get done, then I'm not opposed to […]

Kenny Pickett Officially Ruled Out For Week 16

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett (ankle) has officially been ruled out for Saturday's Week 16 contest against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals. Pickett will miss his third straight game due to a high-ankle sprain. The Steelers were leaving the door open for him to potentially return this weekend, and he was limited in practice on Tuesday […]

Micah Hyde Ruled Out For Week 16

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that safety Micah Hyde (neck) has been ruled out for the Week 16 contest on Saturday against the Los Angeles Chargers. Meanwhile, defensive tackle Jordan Phillips (wrist) has been placed on Injured Reserve. It's two pretty big injury blows to a Bills defense that has been playing much […]

Chris Godwin Not Seen At Thursday's Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (knee) was not seen with the rest of the team during the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday. Godwin did not practice on Wednesday, either, so at the very least he'll likely be questionable like he was going into the Week 15 win over the […]

Jonathan Taylor To Practice Again Thursday

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (thumb) said he will practice again on Thursday and that will determine a lot toward his status for Week 16 against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Taylor said he'll wear some sort of brace/wrap. He had his surgically repaired right thumb wrapped up in a T-shirt when he spoke […]

Jesus Aguilar Heads To Japan

Free-agent first baseman Jesus Aguilar signed an undisclosed one-year deal with the Seibu Lions of Nippon Professional Baseball on Wednesday. After 10 years in the big leagues, the 33-year-old veteran Venezuelan right-handed slugger will take his talents to Japan. He was released by the Oakland Athletics in June after hitting a weak .221/.281/.385 with five […]

Coleman Crow Headed To Milwaukee

The Milwaukee Brewers acquired minor-league right-hander Coleman Crow from the New York Mets on Wednesday in exchange for right-hander Adrian Houser and outfielder Tyrone Taylor, according to a source. It's essentially a salary dump for the Brewers while taking on a young pitcher that is likely to miss all of the 2024 season following Tommy […]

Sean Newcomb Undergoes Another Knee Surgery

The Oakland Athletics announced on Wednesday that left-hander Sean Newcomb (knee) underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee with Dr. Will Workman. It's different from the left-knee surgery he had in September, and he's expected to be ready for spring training. Newcomb made only seven big-league appearances (two starts) for the A's in 2023, allowing […]

Yuki Matsui, Padres Agree On Four-Year Deal

Japanese free-agent left-handed reliever Yuki Matsui and the San Diego Padres agreed in principle on a four-year, $21 million deal on Wednesday. With All-Star left-handed closer Josh Hader set to leave the Padres in free agency this winter, Matsui could be tabbed as San Diego's primary closer in 2024 in his very first year in […]

Mets Acquire Adrian Houser, Tyrone Taylor From Brewers

The New York Mets acquired right-hander Adrian Houser and outfielder Tyrone Taylor from the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday in exchange for a minor-league right-hander Coleman Crow, whom the Mets acquired in the Eduardo Escobar trade, according to a source. The deal clears money for the Brewers, with Houser projected to make $5.6 million in salary […]

Greg Dulcich Still Not Practicing

Denver Broncos tight end Greg Dulcich (hamstring, foot), who was designated to return to practice last week while being on Injured Reserve, did not practice on Wednesday. Head coach Sean Payton said on Monday that Dulcich "had some swelling and soreness" in his foot, although the team still expects him to return this season. Dulcich […]

Rico Dowdle Still On The Injury Report

Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle (ankle) can't manage to escape the injury report due to an ankle injury that kept him limited in practice on Wednesday. It's not an injury serious enough to cause him to miss any games, though, so he should be expected to play this Sunday in a big game on […]

Chase Brown Upgrades To Full Practice

Cincinnati Bengals rookie running back Chase Brown (chest) was able to upgrade to a full practice session on Wednesday after he was listed as limited in practice on Tuesday. The 23-year-old came out of Saturday's overtime victory over the Minnesota Vikings with a sternum injury, but it shouldn't keep him from being available in this […]

Greg Dortch Misses Practice Wednesday

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch (shoulder) was unable to practice with the team on Wednesday due to a shoulder injury. Dortch could be in danger of missing his second game of the year after apparently picking up a shoulder injury in the Week 15 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Even if Dortch were […]

Kenneth Walker III Misses Practice With Shoulder Injury

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (shoulder) is dealing with a new shoulder injury that kept him from participating in Wednesday's practice. Wide receiver Dee Eskridge (ribs) was also not at practice. It's unclear how serious the 23-year-old's shoulder injury is, but fantasy managers certainly are hoping Walker will be available this Sunday against […]
