Juwan Johnson Absent Again Tuesday

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson (calf) wasn't seen during the team's light walkthrough practice session on Tuesday. Johnson hasn't practiced or played since injuring his calf in pre-game warmups before the Week 4 contest, so it's highly unlikely that he'll make his return on a short week this Thursday night against the visiting […]

Trevor Lawrence Optimistic About Playing Against Saints

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (knee) told reporters on Tuesday that he's "optimistic" that he will play on Thursday Night Football in New Orleans against the Saints, "but of course we'll have to make that decision on Thursday."

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (oblique, ribs) is up in the air for the Week 7 game on Monday night against the Minnesota Vikings after he was injured in the Week 6 loss to the Cleveland Browns.

Demario Douglas Returns To Practice

New England Patriots rookie wide receiver Demario Douglas (concussion) returned to the team's unofficial practice on Tuesday. Douglas appears to be making progress in the league's concussion protocol after he was held out of the Week 6 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. The 22-year-old still must gain full clearance before suiting up in Week […]

Mac Jones Expected To Start In Week 7

New England Patriots offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien said "Yeah. Yes" when asked if quarterback Mac Jones is expected to start in Week 7 against the division-rival Buffalo Bills.

Harper joined Willie Aikens, Evan Longoria and […]

Carlos Perez Becomes Free Agent

Oakland Athletics catcher Carlos Perez became a free agent on Monday when he declined an outright assignment to Triple-A Las Vegas.

Carson Fulmer, Others Outrighted By Angels

The Los Angeles Angels outrighted right-hander Carson Fulmer, catcher Chad Wallach, outfielder Brett Phillips and pitcher Jhonathan Diaz to Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday. Wallach and Phillips are arbitration-eligible, so they were likely to be non-tendered. Each of the players could still re-sign with the team despite reaching free agency this offseason. Fulmer, 29, pitched […]

Quentin Johnston Puts Up A Donut Against Cowboys

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Quentin Johnston has failed to capitalize so far with Mike Williams (knee) out for the rest of the season. In the 20-17 loss to the visiting Dallas Cowboys on Monday night, Johnston wasn't able to catch either of his two targets. So far through five games in his first […]

Donald Parham Jr. Catches Two Passes In Monday Night Loss

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. caught two of his three targets for 19 yards in the 20-17 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football. Parham was questionable to play in this game with a sprained wrist he suffered in the Week 4 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, but he […]

Leonard Fournette Not Visiting The Bills Tuesday

Free-agent running back Leonard Fournette has interest from multiple teams, but he isn't visiting with the Buffalo Bills on Tuesday, as was previously reported on Monday evening.

Pat Freiermuth Expected To Practice Wednesday

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said that tight end Pat Freiermuth (hamstring) is expected to practice on Wednesday.

Unlike last year, Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle) is not expected to need surgery for the right high-ankle sprain he suffered in the Week 6 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in London, according to sources.

Frank Reich Handing Over Play-Calling Duties To Offensive Coordinator

Carolina Panthers head coach Frank Reich informed players on Monday that he has decided to hand over play-calling duties moving forward to offensive coordinator Thomas Brown, according to sources. The 37-year-old Brown is highly regarded in the league and will now call the shots for No. 1 overall pick Bryce Young after the team has […]

Minnesota Vikings pass-rusher Marcus Davenport (ankle) suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Week 6 win over the Chicago Bears, according to sources after he underwent an MRI exam. High-ankle sprains usually have a recovery timetable of four to six weeks, so Davenport will be a candidate to go on Injured Reserve, which would require him […]

Cristian Javier Slated To Start Game 3 Of ALCS

Houston Astros right-hander Cristian Javier will get the nod in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series on Wednesday in Texas against the Rangers as the Astros look to avoid falling down three games to none in the best-of-seven series.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) avoided the dreaded high-ankle sprain in the Week 6 loss to the Cleveland Browns. The 49ers are listing Williams as day-to-day heading into the Week 7 game against the Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football. The 35-year-old veteran had his […]

Aaron Rodgers Does Some Throwing

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (Achilles), who is only four-plus weeks removed from surgery to fix a torn Achilles, ditched his crutches and threw for five minutes at around 15 yards from his target during pre-game warmups before the team's Week 6 win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. The 39-year-old future Hall of […]

Zay Jones Misses Walkthrough Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones (knee) was listed as a non-participant for the team's walkthrough practice on Monday. Jones' status was an estimation. Jones missed his third game of the year in the Week 6 win over the Indianapolis Colts -- he also missed Weeks 3 and 4 with a knee injury -- and […]

Juwan Johnson Picks Up Another DNP

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson (calf) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report.

On a short turnaround in Week 7 with a Thursday night matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars, it seems unlikely that Johnson […]

Jamaal Williams Nearing A Return From Injured Reserve?

The New Orleans Saints listed running back Jamaal Williams (hamstring) as limited on Monday's estimated practice report heading into the team's Week 7 contest on Thursday night against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Saints didn't actually practice on Monday, but the fact that Williams was listed as limited suggests that the team could open his 21-day […]

Derek Carr Limited On Monday

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (chest, shoulder) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report. The Saints didn't actually conduct a practice on Monday. Carr suffered an AC joint sprain to his right shoulder in Week 3 but hasn't missed any games. He threw for under 200 yards in each of […]

Chris Olave Listed As Limited Monday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (toe) was listed as a limited participant on the team's estimated practice report on Monday.
