Chiefs Offense Hasn't Hit Top Gear Yet

The Kansas City Chiefs offense, led by MVP quarterback Patrick Mahomes, is ninth in scoring at 24.5 points per game and seventh in yards at 382 yards per game through their first six games. However, that output is well below the standards they have set since Mahomes became the starter in 2018, and they scored […]

Jets Looking For First Win Against Eagles In Their History

The New York Jets are facing the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6 on Sunday, a team that they have gone 0-12 against in their history. Not only have the Jets never beaten the Eagles, but Philadelphia is one of only two undefeated teams in the NFL heading into Week 6 action this weekend. The Eagles, […]

Justin Herbert Doesn't Expect To Be Restricted By Finger

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (finger) told reporters on Thursday that he doesn't expect to be restricted in the Week 6 game on Monday night against the Dallas Cowboys after fracturing his left middle finger on his non-throwing hand in Week 4. He said he would "probably not" take any snaps under center in […]

Jerick McKinnon Barely Involved In Win Over Broncos

Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon once again did very little in the 19-8 win over the division-rival Denver Broncos on Thursday night in a game in which Kansas City's offense only found the end zone one time. McKinnon didn't see a single carry and caught three of his five targets for 20 yards. […]

Samaje Perine Hurt In Loss To Chiefs

Not only did Denver Broncos running back Samaje Perine (leg, knee) have a terrible game in the 19-8 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday Night Football, but he also apparently suffered a leg/knee injury late in the fourth quarter. Perine didn't see a single carry in this one with Javonte Williams returning from […]

Greg Dulcich Aggravates Hamstring Injury On Thursday

The Denver Broncos activated tight end Greg Dulcich (hamstring) from Injured Reserve and made him active on Thursday night against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs. His return was short-lived, though, as he aggravated his hammy and was listed as questionable to return to the contest. The 23-year-old caught one of his three targets for a […]

Jerry Jeudy Posts 14 Yards In Thursday Night Loss

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy came into the Thursday night game against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs looking for his first statement game. He didn't have much of a chance in the 19-8 loss in a game where quarterback Russell Wilson was held under 100 yards passing against a stingy Chiefs pass defense. Jeudy […]

Courtland Sutton Scores For Fourth Time This Year

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton saved his fantasy line in the 19-8 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday Night Football by scoring his fourth touchdown of the season on an excellent one-handed catch in the fourth quarter. Sutton finished the contest with team-highs across the board in catches (four), targets (six) and […]

Jaleel McLaughlin Sees Nine Touches In Loss To Chiefs

Denver Broncos undrafted rookie running back Jaleel McLaughlin remained involved in the offense in the Thursday night loss to the Kansas City Chiefs despite the return of Javonte Williams from a quadriceps injury that kept him out in Week 5. McLaughlin carried the ball seven times (three fewer than Williams) for 30 yards (4.3 yards […]

Javonte Williams Leads Broncos Backfield On Thursday

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams returned from a one-game absence due to a quadriceps injury on Thursday night against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs to lead the backfield with 10 carries for 52 yards (5.2 yards per carry). Williams wasn't targeted at all in the passing game in the 19-8 loss on the road. […]

Russell Wilson Looks Washed Up In Week 6 Loss

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson was beginning to look rejuvenated in head coach Sean Payton's offense early in the year, but he's taken a major step back the last two weeks. After throwing for a season-low 177 yards in Week 5 against the New York Jets, Wilson looked even worse in the 19-8 loss to […]

Peyton Hendershot Lands On Injured Reserve

The Dallas Cowboys placed tight end Peyton Hendershot (ankle) on Injured Reserve on Thursday. In corresponding moves, the Cowboys signed tight end Sean McKeon from the practice squad to the active roster, signed linebacker Rashaan Evans to the practice squad and designated cornerback Nahshon Wright (ankle) to return from Injured Reserve. Hendershot has missed each […]

Donald Parham Jr. Limited In Thursday's Practice

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. (wrist) was listed as a limited practice participant on Thursday. Parham had the bye in Week 5 to rest the sprained right wrist that he suffered in the Week 4 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Based on his limited session to begin the practice week, Parham […]

Juwan Johnson Remains Absent From The Practice Field

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson (calf) missed another day of practice on Thursday. Johnson initially injured his calf during pre-game warmups before Week 4 and hasn't practiced or played since. It's beginning to look like he's going to miss a third straight game in Week 6 against the Houston Texans unless he returns […]

Demario Douglas Trending In The Wrong Direction

New England Patriots rookie wide receiver Demario Douglas (concussion) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday. With JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) also having not practiced at this week, the Patriots receiving corps could be extremely thin against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 6. Both wideouts are running out of time to clear the […]

Jonnu Smith A Full-Go Thursday

Atlanta Falcons tight end Jonnu Smith (ankle) was a full participant in practice on Thursday. It comes a day after Smith was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. It sets the 28-year-old up to be active for the Week 6 game this Sunday against the visiting Washington Commanders. Smith has gotten involved in […]

David Njoku Still Missing From Practice

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (face, hand) missed another day of practice on Thursday. Njoku suffered bad burns on his face and hand during an accident at home before the Week 4 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, but he managed to play through the injuries and caught six passes for 46 yards. The Browns […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Feeling Better, Practicing In Full

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (ankle) was a full participant in practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday, and he feels that his injured ankle is much better this week. The 30-year-old missed two games after injuring his ankle in Week 2, but even when he's been on the field, he's been […]

Robert Woods Back At Practice Thursday

Houston Texans wide receiver Robert Woods (ribs) was a limited practice participant on Thursday after he was held out of practice on Wednesday. Woods could have just been rested in the first practice of the week on Wednesday, but regardless, his status is worth watching heading into the weekend, especially with impressive rookie Tank Dell […]

Tank Dell Misses Another Practice

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Tank Dell (concussion) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday. Dell is making progress from a head injury he suffered in the Week 5 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, but he's not expected to play this weekend against the New Orleans Saints. The Texans have their bye in […]

Zay Jones Misses Another Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones (knee) missed another day of practice on Thursday. Jones returned from a two-game absence this past Sunday in the team's Week 5 win over the Buffalo Bills in London. He caught three of his five targets for 23 yards and his second touchdown of the year before aggravating his […]

Dalton Kincaid, Dawson Knox Remain Limited Thursday

Buffalo Bills tight ends Dalton Kincaid (concussion) and Dawson Knox (wrist) were both limited practice participants on Thursday for the second straight day. Kincaid is still wearing a non-contact jersey and will need to clear the league's concussion protocol in order to play this Sunday in Week 6 against the New York Giants. Knox, meanwhile, […]

Jeff Wilson Jr. Puts In Another Limited Practice

Miami Dolphins running back Jeff Wilson Jr. (finger, ribs) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. The Dolphins opened up Wilson's 21-day window to activate him from Injured Reserve this week, and the coaching staff believes he's ready to play. However, it still remains to be seen if he'll be active […]

DK Metcalf Still Not Practicing

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (ribs) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday. Metcalf took a hard shot to his ribs in Week 2 and has had his practices limited since then. It's a bit odd that he's sat out the first two practices coming off the bye week, but Metcalf reassured […]

Jerome Ford's Injury Not A Concern

Cleveland Browns offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt said that running back Jerome Ford's knee injury isn't a concern heading into the Week 6 contest on Sunday against the undefeated San Francisco 49ers. Ford was limited in practice on Wednesday but upgraded to a full-go on Thursday, which backs up Van Pelt's sentiment. What is concerning […]

Panthers To Simplify Things For Bryce Young

The Carolina Panthers plan to simplify things moving forward for rookie quarterback Bryce Young with the team getting off to an 0-5 start. "When you're 0-5... the answer is to do less," head coach Frank Reich said. The Panthers are expected to cut down on verbiage in the offense and the things that Young is […]

Tony Pollard On The Week 6 Injury Report

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard (shoulder) finds himself on the Week 6 injury report after putting in a limited practice session on Thursday. The Cowboys play on Monday night in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Chargers, so they held their first official practice of the week on Thursday. Pollard's injury doesn't appear to […]

Justin Verlander To Start Game 1 Of ALCS

Unsurprisingly, Houston Astros right-hander Justin Verlander will get the nod for Game 1 of the American League Championship Series on Sunday in Houston against the division-rival Texas Rangers. Verlander tossed six shutout innings to beat the Minnesota Twins in Game 1 of the ALDS while walking three and striking out six. The 40-year-old future Hall […]

Greg Dulcich Returning On Thursday Night Football

Denver Broncos tight end Greg Dulcich (hamstring) was activated from Injured Reserve earlier in the day and is now officially active on Thursday night to face the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs in Week 6. Dulcich caught both of his targets for 22 yards in the season-opening loss to the Las Vegas Raiders before injuring his […]

Travis Kelce Active Against Broncos

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (ankle) is officially active on Thursday night against the Denver Broncos after coming into the game listed as questionable. Kelce suffered a low-ankle sprain in the Week 5 win over the Minnesota Vikings but was able to return to that contest in the second half and put up […]
