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 […]

Durham Smythe Tagged As Limited Wednesday

Miami Dolphins tight end Durham Smythe (ankle) continues to manage an ankle injury and put in a limited practice session on Wednesday. Smythe should play in Sunday's big matchup against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 16 unless he suffers a setback in practice later this week. The 28-year-old has been off the fantasy radar all […]

Raheem Mostert, De'Von Achane Miss Practice Wednesday

Miami Dolphins running backs Raheem Mostert (ankle, knee) and rookie De'Von Achane (toe) were both listed as non-participants in Wednesday's practice. Mostert misses most Wednesday practices for veteran rest. He has not missed a single game in 2023 and leads the NFL with an incredible 18 rushing touchdowns, including seven in the last four games. […]

Ndamukong Suh Visits With Dolphins

Free-agent defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh visited with the Miami Dolphins on Wednesday, according to the league's transaction wire. Suh had no intentions of signing with a team and going through training camp with them this summer, and he remains on the open market while potentially looking to latch on with a contending team if it's […]

Zay Flowers Dealing With Foot Injury

Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Zay Flowers (foot) is managing a foot injury this week and didn't take part in the team's unofficial practice on Wednesday. However, head coach John Harbaugh is not concerned with Flowers' injury and expects him to play in a potential Super Bowl preview on Christmas night against the San Francisco […]

Chris Godwin Still Managing Knee Injury

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (knee) is on the Week 16 injury report after putting in a limited practice on Wednesday. Godwin dealt with a knee injury last week but managed to play in the Week 15 win over the Green Bay Packers for what was his best game of the season. He […]

Jerome Ford, Kareem Hunt Limited Wednesday

Cleveland Browns running backs Jerome Ford (wrist) and Kareem Hunt (groin) were both limited in the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday. Both Ford and Hunt have been on the injury report in recent weeks but haven't missed any games. Ford continues to serve as Cleveland's primary early-down option in the backfield, but […]

Joe Flacco On The Week 16 Injury Report

Cleveland Browns quarterback Joe Flacco (calf) is on the team's Week 16 injury report after having his repetitions limited on Wednesday. Flacco is probably just fine, but his status bears watching as we get closer to Sunday's road matchup against the Houston Texans. The 38-year-old has turned back time since joining the Browns and taking […]

Dontayvion Wicks Limited On Wednesday

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Wicks also had some limited practices last week before suiting up in the Week 15 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 22-year-old Wicks did his part, though, posting season-highs in catches (six), targets (seven) and receiving […]

Aaron Jones Puts In Limited Practice Wednesday

Green Bay Packers running backs Aaron Jones (finger, knee) and rookie Emanuel Wilson (shoulder) were both limited in the team's practice on Wednesday. Jones ended a three-game absence when he suited up in Week 15's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but now he's dealing with a finger injury as well. In his return last […]
