Bryce Young's Size Limiting The Offense?

Carolina Panthers rookie quarterback Bryce Young is just 5-foot-10 and 204 pounds, which hasn't allowed the team to use him for QB sneaks on third-and-short yardage. Plus, he doesn't have experience doing it. In the Monday night loss to the New Orleans Saints, the Panthers had to bring in backup Andy Dalton in those situations. […]

C.J. Stroud Lands On Injury Report

Houston Texans rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud (shoulder) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday with a right-shoulder injury. Stroud doesn't appear to be in any danger of missing the Week 3 contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road this Sunday. The 21-year-old first-rounder has been the most impressive of the rookie signal-callers […]

Brandin Cooks Returns To Limited Practice

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks (knee) was able to practice on a limited basis on Wednesday after sitting out of the Week 2 win over the New York Jets with an MCL sprain he suffered in the season opener. There's no guarantee that Cooks will be active this weekend in Week 3 against the […]

David Montgomery Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery (thigh) was unable to practice on Wednesday. We've heard conflicting reports when it comes to Montgomery's status after he was injured in the Week 2 overtime loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Montgomery thinks he's going to need a couple of weeks to recover, while head coach Dan Campbell called […]

Tyreek Hill On The Week 3 Injury Report

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (ankle) was listed on the first Week 3 injury report with an ankle injury, but he was able to put in a limited practice on Wednesday. Hill apparently picked up an ankle injury in the Week 2 win over the New England Patriots on Sunday night, and while his […]

DJ Stewart Dealing With Wrist Injury

New York Mets outfielder DJ Stewart (wrist) was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Miami Marlins and was sporting a large ice wrap on his wrist before the game. With Stewart out, Rafael Ortega drew the start in left field and was hitting sixth in the batting order against Marlins right-hander Eury Perez. For now, […]

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Scratched With Knee Discomfort

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (knee) was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the New York Yankees with right-knee discomfort. Cavan Biggio will instead start at first base and will bat third against Yankees right-hander Michael King, with rookie Spencer Horwitz serving as the designated hitter. It's not a new issue for Guerrero, […]

Chandler Jones Placed On Non-Football Illness List

The Las Vegas Raiders placed pass-rusher Chandler Jones on the Non-Football Illness list on Wednesday as he deals with a personal issue, according to sources. The Raiders have stood behind him and no one has ruled out a return to the field this year if his situation improves. The 33-year-old veteran defensive end had a […]

Vikings Acquiring Cam Akers From The Rams

The Minnesota Vikings are acquiring running back Cam Akers from the Los Angeles Rams on Wednesday, according to sources. It's unclear what the Vikings are sending the Rams in return. Akers, who wore out his welcome in Los Angeles, will now reunite with his former offensive coordinator, Kevin O'Connell, in Minnesota. The Rams made Akers […]

Justice Hill Dealing With Toe Injury That Could Keep Him Out In Week 3

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (toe) suffered a toe injury in the Week 2 win over the Cincinnati Bengals that could keep him out of the Week 3 matchup with the Indianapolis Colts, but it shouldn't result in a lengthy absence, according to a source. As a result of his injury, the Ravens signed […]

DK Metcalf Expected To Play In Week 3

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (ribs) is "going to make it through the week, he'll be alright," but the team "will take care of him" while he deals with sore ribs, according to head coach Pete Carroll. Metcalf might miss some practice time this week as the team looks to give him some rest […]

Derrick Henry A Limited Practice Participant

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (toe) finds himself on the Week 3 injury report, but he was able to put in a limited practice. Henry must have picked up the toe injury in the Week 2 overtime win over the Los Angeles Chargers, but it doesn't seem like anything that should keep him from […]

Dolphins Not Going To Rush Jaylen Waddle

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol, and the Dolphins aren't going to rush him along. "I'm just I'm not really worried about the timeline," head coach Mike McDaniel said. "I'm more worried about him getting right." It means there's a very real chance he won't suit up in […]

Austin Ekeler Misses Wednesday's Practice

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (ankle) did not take part in Wednesday's practice. Ekeler didn't practice at all last week or play in the Week 2 loss to the Tennessee Titans, and he's not off to a great start this week. Head coach Brandon Staley said on Monday that there's "no timeline" for […]

Brandon Aiyuk Questionable To Play Thursday Night

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (shoulder) is officially listed as questionable to play on Thursday night against the New York Giants to kick off Week 3 action. A CT scan on Monday showed that Aiyuk avoided a broken left collarbone after getting hurt early in the Week 2 win over the Los Angeles […]

Nolan Arenado Getting A Breather Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado is taking the day off on Wednesday against the division-rival Milwaukee Brewers. With Arenado getting a breather, Juniel Querecuto will get the start at third base for the Cards and bat in the eight-hole against Brewers right-hander Adrian Houser. St. Louis is giving the 32-year-old All-Star some rest […]

Randal Grichuk Absent From Angels Lineup

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Randal Grichuk (head) is not in the lineup for the Halos on Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Rays on the road. It shouldn't come as a surprise after Grichuk had to leave Tuesday's contest after being hit in the head by a pitch. The good news is that it was only […]

Christian Yelich On The Bench Again

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (back) remains out of the team's starting lineup on Wednesday with the club facing the Cardinals in St. Louis. Tyrone Taylor is in left field and hitting sixth, Blake Perkins is in center and batting ninth, and Sal Frelick is in right field and in the seven-hole against Cardinals left-hander […]

Brett Baty Returns On Wednesday

New York Mets rookie third baseman Brett Baty (groin) is back at third base and is hitting seventh on Wednesday against the Miami Marlins and right-hander Eury Perez. Baty's return moves infield prospect Ronny Mauricio over to second base and the six-hole. Jeff McNeil is starting in left field and batting fifth. Baty returns to […]

Luis Arraez Out Again For Marlins

Miami Marlins second baseman Luis Arraez (ankle) remains out of the starting lineup again on Wednesday against the visiting New York Mets. Jon Berti will take over at the keystone and will bat eighth in the order against Mets right-hander Kodai Senga. Arraez suffered a sprained left ankle during pre-game workouts on Tuesday and will […]

Mets To Keep Negotiations With Pete Alonso Private

The New York Mets are going to keep contract negotiations with All-Star first baseman Pete Alonso private. "While we understand the media and public interest in player contract situations, we strongly believe in keeping those conversations private. Any circulating reports do not accurately reflect our conversations with Pete," general manager Billy Eppler said in a […]

Giants Put Alex Cobb On 15-Day Injured List

The San Francisco Giants placed right-hander Alex Cobb (hip) on the 15-day injured list on Wednesday and recalled left-hander Kyle Harrison and right-hander Sean Hjelle from Triple-A Sacramento in corresponding moves. The team also placed right-hander Keaton Winn (illness) on the COVID injured list (retroactive to Sept. 19). Cobb has been dealing with a nagging […]

Ryan Mountcastle Goes On Injured List

The Baltimore Orioles placed first baseman Ryan Mountcastle (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with left-shoulder soreness and recalled outfielder Ryan McKenna from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move. Mountcastle had missed the last seven games, so the injured-list move was backdated to Sunday, meaning he is eligible to return a week from […]

Miles Sanders Limited On Wednesday

Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders (pectoral) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Its a new injury for Sanders, but the fact that he was limited in the first practice of the week likely means it's nothing too serious. The former Philadelphia Eagles RB took a step back in Week 2 on […]

Browns Reiterate That Jerome Ford Is Their Lead Back

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski reiterated on Wednesday that running back Jerome Ford "is the lead back." As expected, Cleveland reunited with Kareem Hunt on a one-year deal after Nick Chubb suffered a gruesome season-ending knee injury in the Monday night loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Ford looked great in relief of Chubb on […]

Amari Cooper Not Practicing Wednesday

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper (groin, shoulder) was held out of practice on Wednesday. Cooper was listed as questionable for the Monday night game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but he suited up and led the team with seven receptions (10 targets) for 90 yards in the loss. He apparently picked up a shoulder injury […]

Christian Watson Off To A Good Start This Week

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (hamstring) was able to do individual drills in practice on Wednesday. Watson was held out of the team's first two regular season games due to a hamstring injury that he picked up late in training camp. He was able to put in a limited practice last Friday and […]

Aaron Jones Still Not Practicing

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (hamstring) remains out of practice on Wednesday. Jones tweaked his hamstring after a long touchdown catch-and-run in the season opener in Week 1, didn't practice all of last week and sat out of the Week 2 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Jones isn't off to a great start […]

Saquon Barkley Considered Week-To-Week With Ankle Sprain

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport considers New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) to be truly week-to-week after spraining his ankle in the Week 2 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Head coach Brian Daboll said that Barkley is a "quick healer" and has made "considerable progress" in the last two days, so the Giants haven't […]

Mack Hollins A Desperation Play In Deep Leagues

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Mack Hollins hasn't been non-existent in the Falcons' limited passing game through two weeks, but he also isn't a recommended flex play heading into a pretty juicy matchup against the Detroit Lions on the road. Through the first two games of the 2023 season, Hollins has six receptions on 10 targets […]
