Aidan O'Connell Expected To Start On Thursday Night

A report surfaced Wednesday morning that Las Vegas Raiders interim head coach Antonio Pierce has not committed to a starting quarterback for Thursday night's divisional clash with the Los Angeles Chargers, but rookie Aidan O'Connell is expected to remain the starter in Week 15, according to a source. The fourth-round selection has not been good […]

Shohei Ohtani Can Opt Out Of Deal With Dodgers

Los Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani can opt out of his 10-year, $700 million deal with the Dodgers if either controlling owner Mark Walter or president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman are no longer with the team, according to a person familiar with the record-breaking deal. Ohtani's deal also provides that 97% of the […]

Victor Robles Cleared For Winter Ball

Washington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles (back), who missed most of the 2023 season with a back injury, was recently cleared to play winter ball. If he can stay healthy, he's expected to be in the team's center field plans, or at least until the young prospects arrive at the big-league level. The 26-year-old specifically dealt […]

Tommy Hunter Hangs Up His Cleats

Right-hander Tommy Hunter has officially announced his retirement from professional baseball. Hunter calls it a career after 16 seasons in the major leagues, with stops playing for the Texas Rangers, Baltimore Orioles, Chicago Cubs, Cleveland Guardians, Tampa Bay Rays, Philadelphia Phillies and New York Mets. He spent the final three seasons of his career with […]

Roberto Perez Heading To Boston

Free-agent veteran catcher Roberto Perez signed a minor-league deal with the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday. The 34-year-old Puerto Rican played just five games with the San Francisco Giants in 2023 before suffering a season-ending torn right rotator cuff. It remains to be seen if he's even ready to play in spring training, but the […]

Mets Sign Trayce Thompson To Minor-League Deal

The New York Mets signed free-agent outfielder Trayce Thompson to a minor-league deal with an invitation to spring training on Wednesday, according to a source. Thompson comes to the Mets after a rough 2023 season in which he hit .163/.285/.294 with six home runs, two doubles, 17 RBI and 17 runs scored in 72 games […]

Jorge Alfaro Agrees With Cubs On Minors Deal

Free-agent catcher Jorge Alfaro agreed with the Chicago Cubs on a minor-league deal on Wednesday, according to sources. The deal includes an invitation to spring training. Alfaro will join the Cubbies in 2024 after spending the 2023 campaign with the Colorado Rockies and Boston Red Sox. He only played in a total of 18 games […]

Daniel Hudson Returning To The Dodgers

Right-handed reliever Daniel Hudson has agreed to re-sign with the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday on a minor-league deal, according to sources. The 36-year-old missed most of this past season with knee injuries and will earn $2 million if he makes the team with up to $2 million more in performance bonuses. It might be […]

Chris Godwin Misses Practice Due To Knee Injury

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (knee) was held out of practice with the team on Wednesday due to a knee injury. This is a new injury for Godwin that he must have picked up in the Week 14 win over the Atlanta Falcons, so his practice status the rest of the week will […]

Zay Jones Still Limited With Knee Injury

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones (knee) continues to manage a knee injury that has been an issue all year and he was limited in Wednesday's practice. Jones has missed a total of six games in 2023 due to his knee, but he's been active each of the last four weeks and is now the […]

Travis Etienne Jr., D'Ernest Johnson Limited Wednesday

Jacksonville Jaguars running backs Travis Etienne Jr. (ribs) and D'Ernest Johnson (knee) were both listed as limited on Wednesday's injury report. Etienne and Johnson were also on the injury report last week with their respective injuries but played through them in the Week 14 loss to the Cleveland Browns. Johnson has become the team's No. […]

De'Von Achane, Raheem Mostert Listed As DNP Wednesday

Miami Dolphins running backs De'Von Achane (toe) and Raheem Mostert (knee) were both missing from practice on Wednesday. Mostert continues to receive veteran rest days on Wednesday and should be fine for Week 15 against the New York Jets. Mostert had another 20-plus carries in Monday's loss to the Tennessee Titans and tacked on two […]

Tyreek Hill Not Practicing Wednesday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (ankle) was held out of the team's practice on Wednesday. This doesn't come as a surprise at all after Hill tweaked his ankle in Monday's upset loss to the Tennessee Titans, even though the 29-year-old All-Pro eventually returned to the contest. The fact that Hill returned to Monday's contest […]

Diontae Johnson Added To Week 15 Injury Report

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (knee) was added to the team's Week 15 injury report on Thursday after he missed practice. It appears that Johnson suffered an injury in practice, which usually isn't a good sign for a player, especially on a short week. The 27-year-old should be considered questionable to play now in […]

Najee Harris Should Be Good For Week 15

After not practicing on Tuesday due to a knee injury, Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris (knee) was a full participant on Wednesday and should be fine to play this Saturday against the Indianapolis Colts. Harris was questionable to play last Thursday night because of his knee injury but he managed to suit up and […]

Kendre Miller Missing Another Practice

New Orleans Saints rookie running back Kendre Miller (ankle) was listed as a non-participant in the first practice of the week on Wednesday. Miller missed his fourth straight game in last week's win over the Carolina Panthers and hasn't practiced at all since spraining his ankle in Week 9 against the Chicago Bears. The 21-year-old […]

Derek Carr Healthy Heading Into Week 15

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (ribs, shoulder), who has been beat up with injuries as much as any player in the league this year, is not listed on the initial Week 15 injury report on Wednesday after practicing in full. The 32-year-old is as tough as they come, somehow not missing a game all […]

Jamaal Williams On The Week 15 Injury Report

New Orleans Saints running back Jamaal Williams (groin) is on the Week 15 injury report after he put in a limited practice on Wednesday. Rookie Kendre Miller (ankle) continues to sit out of practice, which is why the Saints added James Robinson for RB depth as the team prepares for a Week 15 tilt against […]

Rashid Shaheed Returns To Limited Practice

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed (thigh) was able to return to a limited practice session on Wednesday. It's not a guarantee that Shaheed will be able to play in Week 15 against the New York Giants, but it's a good sign, especially after he missed the last two games. The speedy second-year pro […]

Taysom Hill Returns To Saints Practice

New Orleans Saints tight end/quarterback Taysom Hill (foot, hand) was able to practice with the team on Wednesday as they get set to play the New York Giants on Sunday in Week 15. It's not a guarantee that Hill will play after sitting out the Week 14 win over the Carolina Panthers, but it's a […]

Chris Olave Dealing With Ankle Injury

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (ankle) is dealing with an ankle injury and was held out of practice on Wednesday. Olave was sick last week but managed to play in the Week 14 win over the Carolina Panthers and played 65 percent of the offensive snaps while catching four of five targets for […]

Dalton Schultz Back At Practice Wednesday

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (hamstring) is practicing with the team on Wednesday. KPRC's Aaron Wilson writes that Schultz is trending toward returning on Sunday to face the Tennessee Titans following a two-game absence due to a strained hamstring. Schultz's return to practice is great news for the Texans offense, but it may not […]

Nico Collins, Noah Brown Missing From Practice

Houston Texans wide receivers Nico Collins (calf) and Noah Brown (knee) did not take part in the first practice of the week on Wednesday. Collins, who left the Week 14 loss to the New York Jets early, watched practice on Wednesday, which is an encouraging sign that he's moving around. He's attempting to play in […]

Brian Robinson Jr. Sits Out Wednesday

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) did not practice with the rest of the team on Wednesday. Robinson tweaked his hamstring in Week 13 and had the bye to rest last week, so it's not a particularly great sign that he's not able to practice coming off the bye and heading into a […]

Demario Douglas Returns To The Practice Field

New England Patriots rookie wide receiver Demario Douglas (concussion) made his return to the practice field on Wednesday. It looks as though Douglas will have a chance to end his two-game absence and suit up in Week 15 against the Kansas City Chiefs, although he still needs to pass through the league's concussion protocol. Before […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Absent On Wednesday

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) was absent for the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday. Stevenson tweaked his ankle in Week 13 and was unable to play on a short week last Thursday in the win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. He's currently off to a bad start this week and […]

Ja'Marr Chase Returns To Practice Wednesday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase (ankle) returned to practice on Wednesday after the team listed him as a non-participant on Tuesday. The Bengals are resting Chase on a short week, with their next game coming on Saturday against the Minnesota Vikings. All expectations are that the 23-year-old All-Pro receiver will suit up this weekend, […]

Jonathan Taylor Sitting Out Wednesday

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (thumb) is missing from practice on Wednesday for the second straight day this week. Taylor was listed as a non-participant during Tuesday's session as well and it's a near certainty that he'll miss his third straight game following thumb surgery. The Colts are expecting Taylor to return this year, […]

Another Missed Practice For Alexander Mattison

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison (ankle) was not seen at practice on Wednesday as he nurses an ankle injury he picked up in the Week 14 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Mattison was also listed as a DNP on Tuesday, so it's looking increasingly unlikely that he'll play on Saturday against the Cincinnati […]

C.J. Stroud Not Practicing Wednesday

Houston Texans rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) is not taking part in practice with the rest of the team on Wednesday. Stroud is in the league's concussion protocol following his head injury in the Week 14 blowout loss to the New York Jets and is in danger of missing the first game of his NFL […]
