Tony Santillan Returns To Reds On Minor-League Deal

The Cincinnati Reds re-signed right-hander Tony Santillan to a minor-league deal on Thursday that includes an invitation to major-league camp in spring training next year. Because of injuries, Santillan has appeared in only 24 games for the Reds in the last two seasons. He tossed just 3 1/3 innings in 2023 and gave up an […]

Brewers Re-Sign Colin Rea To One-Year Contract

The Milwaukee Brewers re-signed right-hander Colin Rea to an undisclosed one-year deal on Thursday that includes a team option for the 2025 season. In by far his most extensive work in his fifth year in the big leagues, Rea went 6-6 in his first full season in Milwaukee and also had a 4.55 ERA (4.90 […]

Omar Narvaez Exercises His 2024 Option

New York Mets catcher Omar Narvaez exercised his $7 million player option for the 2024 season on Thursday, so he will return to Queens next year. This move doesn't come as a surprise with Narvaez slated to earn $7 million next season as the primary backup to up-and-coming young backstop Francisco Alvarez. The 31-year-old Narvaez […]

Seth Lugo Declines Player Option For 2024

San Diego Padres right-hander Seth Lugo has declined his $7.5 million player option for the 2024 season on Thursday, according to sources. It doesn't come as a big surprise after Lugo had a very fine 2023 campaign in his first year in San Diego. He was a full-time starter and made a career-high 26 starts […]

Jorge Soler To Opt Out Of Final Year Of His Deal

The Miami Marlins have been informed that outfielder/designated hitter Jorge Soler will exercise his opt-out clause on the final year of his three-year deal with the team, according to sources. It makes sense after Soler clubbed 36 home runs as a first-time All-Star in his second year in Miami in 2023. The 31-year-old right-handed slugger […]

Puka Nacua Limited Again With Knee Injury

Los Angeles Rams rookie wide receiver Puka Nacua (knee) was listed as a limited participant in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Head coach Sean McVay said earlier this week that Nacua came out of the Week 8 loss to the Dallas Cowboys with a little bit of knee swelling, but he seems […]

Justin Fields Out Of Action On Thursday

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields (thumb) was sidelined again for Thursday's practice and is trending toward missing another game this weekend on the road in New Orleans against the Saints. Fields suffered a dislocated thumb on his throwing hand in Week 6 and has missed the last two games as a result. All signs point […]

Luke Musgrave Limited Again In Thursday's Practice Session

Green Bay Packers rookie tight end Luke Musgrave (ankle) was limited in practice again on Thursday. Musgrave suffered a left-ankle injury in Week 7 against the Denver Broncos but played in the Week 8 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. However, he may need to get back to a full practice on Friday to avoid a […]

Aaron Jones Remains Limited Due To Hamstring Issue

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (hamstring) was limited in practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Jones is most likely going to play, but his injury, coupled with the sad state of the Packers offense this year is wrecking Jones' fantasy value. The 28-year-old has already missed three games (Weeks […]

DeAndre Hopkins Active Thursday Night

Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (toe) is officially active for Thursday Night Football against the Pittsburgh Steelers after being listed as questionable to play. Hopkins' status was a bit up in the air on a short week, but he will ultimately suit up and will be looking for an encore performance after catching three […]

Cardinals Add Tony Jones Jr. To Active Roster

With Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (knee) still on Injured Reserve and rookie Emari Demercado (toe) having not practiced this week due to a toe injury, the Cardinals promoted Tony Jones Jr. to the 53-man active roster from the practice squad on Thursday. Jones was claimed on waivers from the New Orleans Saints on […]

Braxton Berrios Downgraded On Thursday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Braxton Berrios (hamstring) was downgraded to a limited practice on Thursday after he was a full participant to begin the week on Wednesday. Mid-week downgrades on the injury report usually aren't good news for players, but if Berrios returns to a full practice on Friday, he should be good to go […]

DeVante Parker Not Spotted At Thursday's Practice

New England Patriots wide receiver DeVante Parker (concussion) was not spotted at practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Parker suffered a concussion in the Week 8 loss to the Miami Dolphins and remains in the NFL's concussion protocol. Given the 30-year-old's previous history with head injuries, it seems likely that he won't be […]

Hayden Hurst Feeling Better

Carolina Panthers tight end Hayden Hurst (illness) was under the weather on Wednesday and didn't practice, but he was apparently feeling much better on Thursday and put in a full practice session. Hurst hasn't been anywhere near the TE1 radar in fantasy in his first year in Carolina, as most of the team's aerial targets […]

DJ Chark Jr. Returns To Practice On Thursday

After being held out of Wednesday's practice, Carolina Panthers wide receiver DJ Chark Jr. (elbow) was listed as limited on Thursday. Meanwhile, fellow wideout Laviska Shenault Jr. (ankle) missed practice for the second straight day. Chark was wearing a red non-contact jersey at practice, so his availability for Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts could […]

Michael Gallup Back From Illness

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup (illness) was a full participant in practice on Thursday after being held out on Wednesday due to an illness. Gallup is still searching for his first touchdown of the season as he heads into a Week 9 date with the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles. His production -- 20 catches on […]

Taysom Hill Has Reps Capped Again Thursday

New Orleans Saints quarterback/tight end Taysom Hill (hip) was listed as limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. It's unlikely that Hill's hip injury will put him in danger of missing the Week 9 game against the Chicago Bears. The Swiss Army Knife of the Saints offense had nine carries for 63 […]

Michael Thomas Returns To Full Practice Session

After he was limited with an illness on Wednesday, New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas put in a full practice on Thursday. Thomas played through his illness in the Week 8 win over the Indianapolis Colts and caught four of his seven targets for 68 yards. The 30-year-old should be feeling better this weekend […]

Justin Herbert Still Listed With Finger Injury

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (finger) remains on the Week 9 injury report but was able to put in a full practice on Thursday. Herbert fractured his left finger in Week 4 but hasn't missed any games after a convenient Week 5 bye. He was excellent in the Week 8 beatdown of the Chicago […]

Gerald Everett Trending Towards Playing In Week 9

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Gerald Everett (hip) was listed as a full practice participant on Thursday. It means that Everett is trending toward playing on Monday night against the New York Jets after he was held out of the Week 8 Sunday night victory over the Chicago Bears. Everett's impending return is bad news […]

Joshua Palmer Not Practicing On Thursday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer (knee) was not seen on the practice field on Thursday after getting hurt in the Sunday night win over the Chicago Bears in Week 8. The good news is Palmer still has two more days to try and return to practice before the Chargers must release their final […]

Graham Gano Going On Injured Reserve, Giants Signing Randy Bullock

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (knee) will have surgery on his left knee and will be placed on Injured Reserve. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Giants are signing former Tennessee Titans kicker Randy Bullock to their practice squad, pending a physical, according to sources. Bullock was with the Giants in 2016. New York […]

Kyler Murray Removed From The Injury Report

After putting in another full practice on Wednesday, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (knee) has been officially removed from the Week 9 injury report on Thursday. It's the same thing that happened last week, but Murray wasn't ultimately activated from Injured Reserve. There's a greater chance that happens this weekend, but it won't guarantee that […]

Matthew Stafford Not Seen At Practice Thursday

There was no sign of Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford (thumb) in the period of practice open to the media on Thursday. If Stafford is a non-participant, it will be his second straight missed practice after he suffered a sprained UCL in his right thumb in the Week 8 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. […]

Logan Thomas Looks Ready For Week 9

Washington Commanders tight end Logan Thomas (heel) put in a full practice session on Thursday after he was listed as limited on Wednesday. The oft-injured tight end isn't dealing with a serious injury and should be fine to play in Week 9 against a New England Patriots defense that has been generous to the position […]

Curtis Samuel Missing From Practice Again Thursday

Washington Commanders wide receiver Curtis Samuel (toe) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday. Unless Samuel is able to practice in some capacity on Friday, he's likely to be held out of the Week 9 contest versus the New England Patriots. The 27-year-old veteran was injured in the Week 8 loss to the […]

Graham Gano Still On The Injury Report

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (knee) was limited in Thursday's practice for the second straight day due to a left-knee injury. Gano has played the last two games with the injury, so it's safe to assume he will be active in Week 9 against the Las Vegas Raiders, albeit likely at less than 100 […]

Wan'Dale Robinson Remains Limited

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) continues to have his practice repetitions limited on Thursday and was listed as limited for a second straight day. The Giants continue to take things slow with the second-year wideout after he suffered a torn right ACL in his rookie campaign in 2022. The 22-year-old pass-catcher didn't […]

Saquon Barkley Given Another Limited Tag

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) was listed as limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Remember, Barkley missed Weeks 3-5 due to a high-ankle sprain, so he's most likely just receiving some extra maintenance heading into a Week 9 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Still, the 26-year-old's status […]

Daniel Jones Practicing In Full Thursday

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (neck) was listed as a full participant on Thursday's injury report after being officially limited on Wednesday. Head coach Brian Daboll said on Wednesday that Jones has no limitations and is good to go for Week 9 against the Las Vegas Raiders after missing the last three games. It's […]
