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 […]

Josh Downs Added To Week 9 Injury Report

Indianapolis Colts rookie wide receiver Josh Downs (knee) was added to the Week 9 injury report due to a knee injury. He was officially listed as limited. The impressive 22-year-old wideout must have injured himself in practice on Thursday. Mid-week injuries usually are never a good thing, but Downs will have another day to test […]

Michael Wilson Trending In The Wrong Direction

Arizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver Michael Wilson (shoulder) is trending in the wrong direction in Week 9 after missing his second day of practice on Thursday. Wilson is going to have to return to the practice field on Friday to have a shot at playing this Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. The 23-year-old first-year wideout […]

Emari Demercado Missing From Practice Thursday

Arizona Cardinals rookie running back Emari Demercado (toe) is missing his second straight day of practice on Thursday.

[…]

Odell Beckham Jr. Back On The Practice Field Thursday

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (shoulder) has returned to practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session while managing a shoulder issue. It seems to always be something with Beckham at this stage of his career, but his return to practice at least gives him a shot to be active in Week 9 against […]

Robert Woods Remains Out Thursday

Houston Texans wide receiver Robert Woods (foot) is missing his second straight day of practice this week due to a foot injury. Woods is not expected to play in Week 9 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, which would be his second straight absence after being inactive in the Week 8 loss to the Carolina Panthers. […]

Dameon Pierce Still Absent From Practice

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce (ankle) is not practicing again on Thursday as he deals with an ankle injury he suffered in the Week 8 loss to the Carolina Panthers. Pierce's status for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is still being determined, and a league source said it's being contemplated […]

Drake London Misses Another Practice

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (groin) wasn't seen on Thursday at the portion of practice open to the media. If London doesn't make it onto the field at all, it will be his second straight missed practice this week after injuring his groin in the Week 8 loss to the Tennessee Titans. The 22-year-old […]

The Kansas City Royals designated outfielder Nate Eaton for assignment on Thursday and also reinstated eight players from the 60-day injured list now that the World Series has concluded.

Nationals Decline Option On Victor Robles

The Washington Nationals declined their $3.3 million 2024 club option on outfielder Victor Robles (back) on Thursday.

The 26-year-old former top prospect has been a bust for the Nationals to this point and played in only 36 games in 2023 due to […]

Nelson Cruz Announces Retirement

Long-time designated hitter Nelson Cruz announced his retirement from professional baseball on The Adam Jones Podcast on Thursday. The 43-year-old Dominican slugger had a phenomenal 19-year big-league career that saw him make seven All-Star teams and win four Silver Slugger awards.

Seager and Reggie Jackson are the only […]

Giants Outright Mark Mathias To Triple-A

The San Francisco Giants outrighted infielder Mark Mathias (shoulder) to Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday. Mathias spent the 2023 season with the Giants and Pittsburgh Pirates, slashing .226/.333/.258 with no home runs, two doubles, six RBI, three stolen bases and six runs scored in 27 games. He played in only five games in San Francisco before […]

Wander Franco Reinstated To 40-Man Roster

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco was reinstated to the team's 40-man roster in a procedural move on Thursday, but his status to return to the field remains unchanged and uncertain heading into the offseason.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Misses Practice Thursday Due To Illness

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness) missed practice on Thursday due to an illness. Edwards-Helaire still has several days to feel better before Sunday's game kicks off in Frankfurt, Germany, against the Miami Dolphins. Even if the 24-year-old is active, though, he remains well off the fantasy radar with both Isiah Pacheco and […]

Jerick McKinnon Will Practice Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon (groin) will return to practice in some capacity on Thursday after being held out of Wednesday's session. McKinnon's return to practice puts him on track to play in Week 9 against the Miami Dolphins in Frankfurt, Germany, this Sunday. The 31-year-old has been almost useless to fantasy managers […]

Darren Waller Will Miss Week 9

New York Giants tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) will miss the Week 9 game against his former team, the Las Vegas Raiders, this Sunday due to a hamstring injury he suffered in the Week 8 overtime loss to the New York Jets.

The 28-year-old Smith hadn't played in a […]

Duane Brown Returns To Practice

New York Jets offensive tackle Duane Brown (hip, shoulder) has returned to practice this week, opening up his 21-day practice window to be activated from Injured Reserve.

Baker Mayfield Practicing In Full Again

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (knee) is practicing in full for the second straight day on Thursday and should be fine to play in Week 9 against the Houston Texans as long as he doesn't suffer a setback in Friday's practice. He's dealing with a knee injury that he's been playing through for several […]

Deshaun Watson "Not Sure" If He'll Play In Week 9

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson (shoulder) said he's "not sure" if he'll be able to play in Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals.
