JuJu Smith-Schuster Falling Down The Depth Chart?

The New England Patriots signed wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster to be their best receiver in the offseason, but the Week 1 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles told us he's their fourth, and maybe fifth, best receiver. The Patriots benched Smith-Schuster for their final drive and opted for Kendrick Bourne, Kayshon Boutte and Demario Douglas. "We […]

Tejay Antone Suffering From Elbow Discomfort

Cincinnati Reds relief pitcher Tejay Antone (elbow) left his outing on Wednesday night against the Detroit Tigers with right-elbow discomfort. Before leaving, Antone allowed a walk and struck out one in two-thirds of an inning to pick up his first hold of the season. That's where the good news ends. The 29-year-old recently made his […]

Brett Baty Leaves Early With Groin Soreness

New York Mets rookie third baseman Brett Baty (groin) left Wednesday's game early against the Arizona Diamondbacks with left-groin soreness, according to the team. Baty didn't record a hit in his previous five games, but he managed to go 2-for-3 with two runs scored and a walk on Wednesday before being pulled due to his […]

Jazz Chisholm Jr. Dealing With Knee Discomfort

Updating a previous report, Miami Marlins outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. (knee) left Wednesday's game early against the Milwaukee Brewers with right-knee discomfort, according to the team. Garrett Hampson moved from shortstop to center field to replace Chisholm in the eventual 2-0 win. Before leaving prematurely, Chisholm was hitless in his two at-bats to drop his […]

Ryan Mountcastle Going For Imaging Thursday

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle (shoulder) said his left shoulder is feeling "not great" after leaving the game on Wednesday early against the St. Louis Cardinals, and there is some concern about his injury. He's hopeful that it will feel better on Thursday, but he'll undergo imaging tests to make sure after feeling a […]

Orioles To Call Up Heston Kjerstad

Baltimore Orioles first base prospect Heston Kjerstad is being recalled from the minor leagues, according to two sources with knowledge of the situation. Ryan Mountcastle (shoulder) suffered a minor injury in Wednesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals and is being considered day-to-day, but Kjerstad will over the Orioles some extra depth at the position […]

Seahawks To Be Short-Handed On Offensive Line

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that offensive tackles Charles Cross (toe) and Abe Lucas (knee) are "hurting" and that it will be hard for them to play in Week 2 against the Detroit Lions. Carroll also said it's probably unrealistic for newly signed Jason Peters to be ready to play by this Sunday. […]

Jamal Adams Back At Practice Wednesday

Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams (knee) returned to practice on Wednesday and was listed as a limited participant. It's a milestone day for Adams, who hadn't practiced or played since tearing his quadriceps tendon in Week 1 of the 2022 campaign. The Seahawks will no doubt take it slow with the 27-year-old star safety and […]

Joey Bosa Already On The Injury Report

Los Angeles Chargers outside linebacker Joey Bosa (hamstring) is already on the Week 2 injury report and was listed as a non-participant in practice on Wednesday. Bosa is dealing with some hamstring soreness after the team's Week 1 loss to the Miami Dolphins. It doesn't sound like anything serious, but with a player with such […]

Joe Kelly Activated From Injured List

The Los Angeles Dodgers activated relief pitcher Joe Kelly (forearm) from the injured list on Wednesday and optioned rookie right-hander Kyle Hurt back to Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move. Hurt, the team's No. 12 prospect per MLB Pipeline, looked good in his major-league debut out of the bullpen on Tuesday night against the […]

Sandy Alcantara Diagnosed With UCL Sprain

Miami Marlins manager Skip Schumaker said that right-hander Sandy Alcantara's (forearm) MRI exam revealed a UCL sprain in his right forearm/elbow. Schumaker was non-committal about Alcantara's return this year but noted "watching him throw is a good thing. It's a progression. We're going to watch it every day and go from there." Last year's National […]

Ryan Mountcastle Injured Wednesday

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle (shoulder) left Wednesday's game early against the St. Louis Cardinals with left-shoulder discomfort in the third inning. He was replaced by pinch-hitter Ramon Urias. Before leaving the contest, Mountcastle walked in his only plate appearance. The 26-year-old's injury didn't look very serious, so fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day […]

Drew Ogletree Still In Concussion Protocol

Indianapolis Colts tight end Drew Ogletree (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol on Wednesday. It's not a good start to the week, but the 25-year-old second-year tight end still has a few more days to get the green light to play in Week 2 against the Houston Texans this Sunday. In his NFL debut […]

Cordarrelle Patterson A Full Participant In Practice

Atlanta Falcons running back/wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson (thigh) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Patterson was held out of the Week 1 win over the Carolina Panthers with a soft-tissue injury in his thigh, but he's clearly improved and should be able to make his 2023 debut in Week 2 this Sunday against the […]

Robert Saleh Not Expecting Aaron Rodgers To Retire

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said he would be surprised if quarterback Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) hangs up his cleats after tearing his left Achilles in the Week 1 win over the Buffalo Bills on Monday night. "I'd be shocked if this is the way he's going to go out," Saleh said Wednesday. Rodgers […]

Dalton Schultz Puts In Limited Practice Wednesday

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (thigh) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Schultz's status is one to watch heading into the weekend, but the fact that he even practiced at all is a good sign for his availability heading into Week 2 against the Indianapolis Colts. The 27-year-old's debut with the […]

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. […]
