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 […]

Deshaun Watson Will Not Play In Week 6

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson (shoulder) will not play in Week 6 against the undefeated San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, according to a source. Watson missed another day of practice on Thursday and is set to miss his second straight game due to a rotator-cuff contusion in his right shoulder that he sustained in Week […]

Chris Olave Practicing In Full

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (toe) started off the week with a limited practice on Wednesday before returning to a full practice session on Thursday. Olave has apparently been dealing with a toe injury of late, but it isn't serious enough to put his status in question for the Week 6 contest against […]

Tee Higgins Looking "Promising" To Play This Weekend

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (rib) said it's looking "promising" for him to play in Week 6 against the Seattle Seahawks. Higgins is attempting to return from a fractured rib that he suffered in Week 4. He was held out of last week's win over the Arizona Cardinals and has put in two straight […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown Trending Towards A Return In Week 6

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (abdomen) was upgraded to a full participant in practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. St. Brown missed the team's Week 5 win over the Carolina Panthers as a precaution, and the Lions said earlier this week they were very optimistic about the 23-year-old pass-catcher returning in […]

Sam LaPorta Added To Injury Report

Detroit Lions rookie tight end Sam LaPorta (calf) was added to the Week 6 injury report after missing Thursday's practice with a calf injury. Mid-week injuries are usually never a good thing. If LaPorta is unable to return to practice in some fashion on Friday, there's a very real chance he won't be able to […]

Mike Evans Returns To Practice In Week 6

Updating a previous report, Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session. Evans tweaked his hamstring in the Week 4 win over the New Orleans Saints and had last week's bye to rest up, but he's apparently still dealing with the injury and isn't […]

Jakobi Meyers Upgrades To Full Practice

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (wrist) opened this week's practice with a limited session on Wednesday with a wrist issue, but he was upgraded to a full practice participant on Thursday. The 26-year-old shouldn't have any issues being ready to play this Sunday against his former team, the New England Patriots. Meyers has […]

Davante Adams Limited On Thursday

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams (shoulder) was listed as limited in Thursday's practice after he was held out of Wednesday's session. Adams suffered a painful shoulder injury in Week 4 and missed two days of practice last week before playing in Monday night's win over the Green Bay Packers. He was targeted just […]

Justin Herbert Looks Ready For Week 6

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (finger) was able to practice in full on Thursday. It's a good sign that Herbert will be ready to play on Monday Night Football in Week 6 in a showdown against the Dallas Cowboys after he fractured the middle finger on his non-throwing hand in the Week 4 win […]

Austin Ekeler Practicing In Full

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (ankle) was listed as a full practice participant on Thursday. Ekeler said earlier this week that he has a 99 percent chance of returning this week to face the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football after sitting out since suffering a right high-ankle sprain in the season opener. […]

Greg Dulcich Officially Activated From Injured Reserve

The Denver Broncos officially activated tight end Greg Dulcich (hamstring) from Injured Reserve on Thursday and elevated wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey and nose tackle Tyler Lancaster from the practice squad for Thursday night's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Dulcich returned to practice this week but was listed as questionable to play in Week 6. […]

Saquon Barkley Stays Limited Thursday

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) remained limited in practice on Thursday. Barkley suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 2 and hasn't played in a game since. He's made some progress but has now been limited in eight straight practices. The 26-year-old might need to upgrade to a full practice on Friday to […]

Cole Kmet Limited Again Thursday

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet (hamstring) was limited in practice for a second consecutive day on Thursday. Kmet's Week 6 status is worth watching heading into Sunday's tilt versus the Minnesota Vikings, but we'd be surprised if he didn't suit up. The 24-year-old tight end has scored three touchdowns in the last two weeks […]

Khalil Herbert, Roschon Johnson Miss Another Practice

Chicago Bears running backs Khalil Herbert (ankle), Roschon Johnson (concussion) and Travis Homer (hamstring) all missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. All three RBs were injured in last Thursday's win over the Washington Commanders, leaving Chicago's backfield extremely thin heading into their Week 6 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Herbert is dealing […]
