John Metchie III Returns To Practice

Houston Texans wide receiver John Metchie III (hamstring) returned to the practice field in a limited capacity on Wednesday. The Texans placed receiver Noah Brown (groin) on the short-term Injured Reserve on Wednesday, so over the next four games, Metchie and rookie Tank Dell will have an opportunity for bigger roles in the passing game […]

Brandin Cooks Has A Chance To Play In Week 2

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks (knee) was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's walkthrough practice, but head coach Mike McCarthy said the veteran wideout is doing "OK" and thinks he'll do a little more on Thursday. There is a chance that Cooks will be able to play in Week 2 on Sunday against the […]

James Conner Limited With Calf Ailment

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (calf) finds himself on the initial injury report for Week 2 and was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. The fact that he's on the practice field at all early in the week is a sign that Conner should be good to go for a Week 2 […]

DeAndre Hopkins Misses Practice With Ankle Injury

Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (ankle) was listed as a non-practice participant on Wednesday with an ankle injury that he apparently suffered in the Week 1 loss to the New Orleans Saints. It's entirely possible that the Titans are just giving the 31-year-old a veteran day of rest and maintenance, but fantasy managers should […]

Anthony Richardson Not On The Week 2 Injury Report

The Indianapolis Colts didn't list rookie first-round quarterback Anthony Richardson (knee) on the initial Week 2 injury report on Wednesday after he didn't finish his NFL debut in a Week 1 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars due to a bruised knee. Richardson and the Colts said that he was fine after last Sunday's loss, and […]

Christian Watson Misses Another Practice

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that wide receiver Christian Watson (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. Watson had a helmet during the team stretch period, but when they went outside to practice, he worked off to the side with the rehab staff. He officially was DNP, but it was more work than […]

Lions To Increase Jahmyr Gibbs' Touches In Week 2

Detroit Lions rookie first-round running back Jahmyr Gibbs had just nine touches and 19 offensive snaps in his NFL debut in last Thursday night's win over the Kansas City Chiefs, but he was able to force six missed tackles and is in line to see increased reps in Week 2 against the Seattle Seahawks. Head […]

Raheem Mostert Listed As DNP With Knee Injury

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (knee) popped up on the Week 2 injury report on Wednesday and did not take part in practice. This isn't a great sign for a player with a lengthy injury history, especially with his knee. It remains to be seen how serious this specific injury is, though, and we […]

Jaylen Waddle Limited With Oblique Injury

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (oblique) remains on the injury report ahead of a Week 2 game against the division-rival New England Patriots, and he was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Waddle was on last week's injury report as well before playing in the season-opening win over the Los Angeles Chargers. […]

Packers Hold Aaron Jones Out Of Wednesday's Practice

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that running back Aaron Jones (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. Jones tweaked his hamstring while scoring a 35-yard touchdown in the Week 1 victory over the Chicago Bears in Week 1 and never returned in a game that was well in hand for the Packers. LaFleur […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Limited Wednesday With Ankle Injury

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury that he apparently suffered in the Week 1 victory over the division-rival Denver Broncos on Sunday. It remains to be seen if this ankle injury is related to Garoppolo's previous foot injury from his time with the San […]

Davante Adams Misses Practice With Foot Injury

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams (foot) was held out of Wednesday's practice due to a foot injury. Adams played the entire game in the Week 1 victory over the division-rival Denver Broncos on Sunday and finished with six catches (nine targets) for 66 yards in his first regular season game working with quarterback […]

Austin Ekeler Misses Practice For Personal Matter

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday in order to attend the funeral of his agent, Cameron Weiss. Head coach Brandon Staley said on Monday that Ekeler suffered an ankle injury in the Week 1 loss to the Miami Dolphins, but we won't know until Thursday now whether the […]

Kenneth Gainwell Ruled Out For Thursday Night

The Philadelphia Eagles ruled out running back Kenneth Gainwell (ribs) for the Week 2 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday night. Gainwell picked up a rib injury in the Week 1 win over the New England Patriots on Sunday while operating surprisingly as the team's lead back. He was unable to practice all week. […]

Sandy Alcantara Plays Catch Wednesday

Miami Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcantara (forearm) was able to play catch on Wednesday. Alcantara landed on the injured list with a right-forearm flexor strain earlier this month, and it remains to be seen if he'll have time to rejoin Miami's starting rotation before the end of the regular season as they chase the final wild-card […]

Dylan Carlson To Have Season-Ending Ankle Surgery

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dylan Carlson (ankle) will undergo season-ending left-ankle surgery, according to manager Oliver Marmol. It makes sense for Carlson to get the injury addressed after dealing with left-ankle issues since all the way back in the middle of May. Barring any setbacks in the offseason, Carlson should be ready for spring training […]

Max Scherzer Expected To Miss Rest Of The Season

Texas Rangers right-hander Max Scherzer (shoulder) is expected to miss the rest of the regular season after being diagnosed with a strained teres major, a muscle that connects the scapula to the humerus. According to general manager Chris Young, Scherzer is "unlikely" to pitch in the postseason. It's brutal news for Scherzer and the Rangers […]

Corbin Carroll Sitting Against Left-Hander

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll is getting a day off on Wednesday as the club takes on left-hander Joey Lucchesi and the New York Mets. Carroll could use the day off, too, as he's gone hitless in 10 at-bats with two strikeouts in the first two games of the series this week in New York. […]

Christian Yelich Still Sitting Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (back) continues to sit on Wednesday against the visiting Miami Marlins. Tyrone Taylor is in left field and hitting sixth, Joey Wiemer is in center and batting in the nine-hole, and Sal Frelick is starting in right and batting eighth against Marlins left-hander Braxton Garrett. Yelich is apparently improving from […]

Whit Merrifield Returns To Blue Jays Lineup

Toronto Blue Jays infielder/outfielder Whit Merrifield (groin) is playing left field and batting fifth for the team on Wednesday against the visiting Texas Rangers and left-hander Jordan Montgomery. Merrifield is back in action for the Jays after missing the last two games with groin tightness. The 34-year-old veteran super utilityman has struggled at the plate […]

Nolan Gorman Placed On 10-Day Injured List

The St. Louis Cardinals placed infielder Nolan Gorman (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with a right-hamstring strain and selected the contract of infielder Juniel Querecuto from Triple-A Memphis in a corresponding move. Gorman's injury occurred on Tuesday as he attempted to beat out an infield single, and now he'll be forced to […]

Jarred Kelenic Out With Sore Foot

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic (foot) is out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the visiting Los Angeles Angels with a sore right foot. It's not the same foot that Kelenic fractured in July while kicking a water cooler, and it's sore after he fouled a ball off of it on Monday. X-rays came […]

Patrick Bailey Back From Injured List And Starting Wednesday

The San Francisco Giants activated rookie catcher Patrick Bailey from the concussion injured list on Wednesday and optioned catcher Joey Bart to Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move. Bailey is immediately back behind the plate and is batting sixth in the order on Wednesday against the visiting Cleveland Guardians and left-hander Logan Allen. The Giants […]

Bears Not Ruling Out Benching Chase Claypool

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus isn't ruling out the possibility of wide receiver Chase Claypool being a healthy scratch for the Week 2 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. "We're looking at all possibilities right now," Eberflus said. Claypool was a disappointment for the Bears after Chicago acquired him from the Pittsburgh Steelers in […]

Treylon Burks Tending To Personal Matter

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said that wide receiver Treylon Burks is not practicing on Wednesday due to a personal matter. Burks is expected to return to practice on Thursday, so his availability for Week 2 against the Los Angeles Chargers shouldn't be in question. The 23-year-old wideout had a disappointing Week 1 performance […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Out Sick Wednesday

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness) will sit out of practice on Wednesday because he's feeling under the weather, according to head coach Andy Reid. It would be a surprise if Edwards-Helaire is still feeling too sick to play this Sunday for a Week 2 meeting with the Jacksonville Jaguars. In the season-opening […]

Travis Kelce To Practice In Limited Fashion Wednesday

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (knee) will practice in a limited capacity on Wednesday, according to head coach Andy Reid, who said Kelce has "made progress." Kelce was inactive in the Week 1 loss to the Detroit Lions last Thursday night due to a bone bruise he suffered in practice last Tuesday when […]

Breece Hall Limited To Begin Practice Week

New York Jets running back Breece Hall (knee) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. The Jets continue to ease Hall back into action after he suffered a torn ACL in his rookie campaign, but he certainly didn't look like a player coming off a devastating knee injury in the Week 1 […]

Justin Fields Thinks He Played Too Conservatively

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields said, "I feel like I was a little too conservative at times" in the Week 1 loss to the division-rival Green Bay Packers last Sunday. Fields went 24-for-37 for 216 yards, one touchdown and one interception while rushing the ball nine times for 59 yards in a blowout loss. The […]

Darren Waller Dealing With Lingering Hamstring Issue

New York Giants tight end Darren Waller (hamstring), who isn't practicing on Wednesday, revealed that his hamstring injury is the "same" right hamstring that landed him on Injured Reserve with the Las Vegas Raiders last year, although it's a slightly different issue. Waller got through the Week 1 beatdown at the hands of the Dallas […]
