Jaleel McLaughlin Could Have Elevated Role Against Jets

Denver Broncos undrafted rookie running back Jaleel McLaughlin was a popular waiver-wire pickup this week after leading Denver's backfield in the Week 4 win over the Chicago Bears because of Javonte Williams' (quadriceps) injury. McLaughlin saw a season-high seven carries for 72 yards (10.29 yards per tote) and added three receptions (three targets) for 32 […]

Russell Wilson Has Shy-Away Matchup In Week 5

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson has so far looked rejuvenated in head coach Sean Payton's offense through four weeks. He's been a top-10 fantasy QB with a 67.4 completion percentage, 1,104 passing yards, nine touchdowns and two interceptions. The offense hasn't been the issue in Denver, which is huge considering how badly they struggled under […]

Victor Arano Elects Free Agency

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Victor Arano (shoulder) cleared waivers after being designated for assignment and elected free agency, according to a source. He was placed on the 60-day injured list with a right-shoulder strain in March and didn't pitch at all in 2023 after having surgery. The 28-year-old will have to prove he's healthy before […]

Khalil Herbert, Travis Homer Injured Thursday Night

Chicago Bears running backs Khalil Herbert (ankle) and Travis Homer (hamstring) were both injured in Thursday night's game against the Washington Commanders and are questionable to return. Herbert's right ankle had to be taped after he was injured in the third quarter. Rookie Roschon Johnson (concussion) was already ruled out with a concussion, so Chicago's […]

Lance Lynn's Playoff Role Undecided

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Lance Lynn was scheduled to throw four innings in a simulated game on Thursday, according to manager Dave Roberts. The earliest Lynn would be able to pitch in the National League Division Series against the Arizona Diamondbacks would be in Game 3 next week, but Roberts isn't committing to a specific […]

Bobby Miller Lined Up For Game 2 Against Arizona

Los Angeles Dodgers rookie right-hander Bobby Miller is in line to start Game 2 of the National League Division Series against the Arizona Diamondbacks in LA on Monday. Veteran right-hander Lance Lynn is in play to start Game 3. Lefty Clayton Kershaw is kicking off the series on the mound for the Blue on Saturday. […]

Gabriel Moreno Will Return For NLDS Game 1

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Gabriel Moreno (head) will be back behind the plate for Game 1 of the National League Division Series on Saturday against the Los Angeles Dodgers and left-hander Clayton Kershaw. Moreno took a backswing to the head while catching in the second inning on Wednesday in Game 2 of the wild-card series and […]

Dane Dunning Likely To Start Game 1 Of ALDS

Texas Rangers right-hander Dane Dunning is likely to start in Game 1 of the American League Division Series on Saturday in Baltimore against the Orioles. The Rangers didn't need Dunning in their two-game sweep of the Tampa Bay Rays in the wild-card series, so he'll be well-rested and ready to go this weekend in his […]

Von Miller Makes The Trip To London

Buffalo Bills star pass-rusher Von Miller (knee) is making the trip to London with his teammates, and his first two practices back gave him no issues, according to sources. Miller missed the first four games of the year while on the Physically Unable to Perform list, but he has a shot to make his season […]

Cooper Kupp Practices In Full Thursday

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (hamstring) was a full participant in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. All signs are pointing to Kupp being officially activated from Injured Reserve before the team's Week 5 contest against the Philadelphia Eagles. The 30-year-old has looked much better in practice this week after missing […]

Merrill Kelly To Start Game 1 Against Dodgers

Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Merrill Kelly will get the start for Game 1 of the National League Division Series against the division-rival Los Angeles Dodgers on the road on Saturday. Kelly wasn't needed in the team's two-game sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers in the wild-card series. The 34-year-old is rolling coming into his first postseason start […]

Cardinals Sign Damien Williams To Practice Squad

The Arizona Cardinals signed former Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams to their practice squad on Thursday. The Cardinals are looking for some more running back depth with Keaontay Ingram currently dealing with a neck injury. Ingram was inactive for the Week 4 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, so rookie Emari Demercado was […]

Elijah Mitchell Trending In The Wrong Direction

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) was absent from practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Mitchell didn't play in the Week 4 win over the Arizona Cardinals and looks to be headed toward another inactive this Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys. The 25-year-old needs to get back on […]

Juwan Johnson Still Not Practicing

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson (calf) missed a second straight day of practice on Thursday and is heading towards being inactive for the second straight week in Sunday's matchup against the New England Patriots. Johnson was hurt in pre-game warmups before the Week 4 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and did not […]

Tyquan Thornton Not Ready To Practice

New England Patriots wide receiver Tyquan Thornton (shoulder) did not return to practice on Thursday. Thornton spent the first four weeks on Injured Reserve, but the Patriots haven't opened up his 21-day window to be activated, and he has yet to practice this week. It means he could be spending another week on IR as […]

Braxton Berrios Upgrades To Full Practice

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Braxton Berrios (knee) was upgraded to a full practice on Thursday after he was limited in Wednesday's session. Berrios is now on track to play in Week 5 against the New York Giants on Sunday, barring a setback in practice on Friday. Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle are Miami's unquestioned top […]

Dawson Knox Stays Limited In Practice

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox (quadriceps) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Knox might be listed as questionable on Friday's final injury report, but he figures to have a good shot at playing in London this Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 26-year-old's […]

Damien Harris Practices In Full Thursday

Buffalo Bills running back Damien Harris (neck) was able to practice in full on Thursday after he was listed as limited on Wednesday. Barring a setback in practice on Friday, Harris should be able to play this Sunday in London against the Jacksonville Jaguars. However, the 26-year-old shouldn't be anywhere near starting fantasy lineups. He […]

Pat Freiermuth Trending In The Wrong Direction

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth (hamstring) is unlikely to play in Week 5 against the Baltimore Ravens after missing practice on both Wednesday and Thursday. This comes after head coach Mike Tomlin called Freiermuth "doubtful" to play earlier this week. The 24-year-old suffered a strained hamstring in the Week 4 loss to the Houston […]

Justice Hill Continues To Be Limited

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (foot, hamstring) was limited in practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Hill missed the Week 3 game while dealing with turf toe, but he returned in the Week 4 win over the Cleveland Browns but played just seven offensive snaps behind Gus Edwards in a […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Limited Again Thursday

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (ankle) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Thursday for the second straight day. Beckham could ultimately be questionable to play in Week 5 against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers, but he's at least back at practice after missing the last two games with an ankle injury. […]

Rashod Bateman Practicing In Full

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (hamstring) practiced in full for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Bateman missed the Week 4 victory over the Cleveland Browns but appears well on his way to returning to face the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers this Sunday in Week 5. Odell Beckham Jr. (ankle), who has missed […]

Derek Carr Limited Again Thursday

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (shoulder) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Carr suffered an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder in Week 3 but was surprisingly active in the Week 4 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Carr threw for over 300 yards in his first game […]

Kyren Williams On The Field Thursday

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams (hip) took part in the team's practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session, which is a good step towards being active for the Week 5 contest at home this Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles. Williams is likely to be listed as limited on the final injury report for […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Still Limited On Thursday

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (thigh) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Stevenson remains up in the air to play in Week 5 against the New Orleans Saints, but he'll have a much better chance of suiting up on Sunday if he's able to put in a full […]

Christian Watson Still On The Injury Report

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (hamstring) remains on the injury report for Week 5 after he was listed as a limited practice participant on Thursday. Watson suffered a hamstring injury at the end of training camp and missed the first three games of the regular season as a result. He made his 2023 […]

Aaron Jones Starts Week With Limited Practice

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (hamstring) put in a limited practice on Thursday. Jones missed Weeks 2 and 3 due to a hamstring tweak he suffered in the season opener, and he returned in last Thursday's loss to the Detroit Lions to play just 20 offensive snaps. The 28-year-old was a big disappointment […]

Javonte Williams Returns To Limited Practice

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams (quadriceps) was limited in Thursday's practice after sitting out on Wednesday. Williams left the Week 4 win over the Chicago Bears early and never returned. He was initially believed to be dealing with a hip-flexor injury, but he's now listed with a quadriceps issue. Either way, the 23-year-old's injury […]

Deebo Samuel Practicing Again Thursday

San Francisco 49ers wide receivers Deebo Samuel (knee, ribs) and Jauan Jennings (shin) were both on the practice field on Thursday after they put in limited practices on Wednesday. Samuel's rib injury is apparently better, but he's expected to be managing his knee injury if he's active on Sunday Night Football against the Dallas Cowboys. […]

Cooper Kupp "Looks Healthy"

Los Angeles Rams offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur said that wide receiver Cooper Kupp (hamstring) "looks healthy." LaFleur said that when Kupp was "gearing up for that first game" before going on Injured Reserve, "you could tell he almost could tell that something was still a little bit off. And from my vantage point, it looks […]
