Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard (shoulder) finds himself on the Week 6 injury report after putting in a limited practice session on Thursday. The Cowboys play on Monday night in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Chargers, so they held their first official practice of the week on Thursday. Pollard's injury doesn't appear to […]

Justin Verlander To Start Game 1 Of ALCS

Unsurprisingly, Houston Astros right-hander Justin Verlander will get the nod for Game 1 of the American League Championship Series on Sunday in Houston against the division-rival Texas Rangers. Verlander tossed six shutout innings to beat the Minnesota Twins in Game 1 of the ALDS while walking three and striking out six. The 40-year-old future Hall […]

Greg Dulcich Returning On Thursday Night Football

Denver Broncos tight end Greg Dulcich (hamstring) was activated from Injured Reserve earlier in the day and is now officially active on Thursday night to face the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs in Week 6.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson (shoulder) will not play in Week 6 against the undefeated San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, according to a source.

Chris Olave Practicing In Full

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (toe) started off the week with a limited practice on Wednesday before returning to a full practice session on Thursday.

Tee Higgins Looking "Promising" To Play This Weekend

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (rib) said it's looking "promising" for him to play in Week 6 against the Seattle Seahawks. Higgins is attempting to return from a fractured rib that he suffered in Week 4. He was held out of last week's win over the Arizona Cardinals and has put in two straight […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown Trending Towards A Return In Week 6

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (abdomen) was upgraded to a full participant in practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. St. Brown missed the team's Week 5 win over the Carolina Panthers as a precaution, and the Lions said earlier this week they were very optimistic about the 23-year-old pass-catcher returning in […]

Sam LaPorta Added To Injury Report

Detroit Lions rookie tight end Sam LaPorta (calf) was added to the Week 6 injury report after missing Thursday's practice with a calf injury. Mid-week injuries are usually never a good thing. If LaPorta is unable to return to practice in some fashion on Friday, there's a very real chance he won't be able to […]

Mike Evans Returns To Practice In Week 6

Updating a previous report, Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session. Evans tweaked his hamstring in the Week 4 win over the New Orleans Saints and had last week's bye to rest up, but he's apparently still dealing with the injury and isn't […]

Jakobi Meyers Upgrades To Full Practice

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (wrist) opened this week's practice with a limited session on Wednesday with a wrist issue, but he was upgraded to a full practice participant on Thursday. The 26-year-old shouldn't have any issues being ready to play this Sunday against his former team, the New England Patriots. Meyers has […]

Davante Adams Limited On Thursday

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams (shoulder) was listed as limited in Thursday's practice after he was held out of Wednesday's session. Adams suffered a painful shoulder injury in Week 4 and missed two days of practice last week before playing in Monday night's win over the Green Bay Packers. He was targeted just […]

Justin Herbert Looks Ready For Week 6

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (finger) was able to practice in full on Thursday.

Austin Ekeler Practicing In Full

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (ankle) was listed as a full practice participant on Thursday.

Saquon Barkley Stays Limited Thursday

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) remained limited in practice on Thursday. Barkley suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 2 and hasn't played in a game since.

Cole Kmet Limited Again Thursday

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet (hamstring) was limited in practice for a second consecutive day on Thursday. Kmet's Week 6 status is worth watching heading into Sunday's tilt versus the Minnesota Vikings, but we'd be surprised if he didn't suit up. The 24-year-old tight end has scored three touchdowns in the last two weeks […]

Khalil Herbert, Roschon Johnson Miss Another Practice

Chicago Bears running backs Khalil Herbert (ankle), Roschon Johnson (concussion) and Travis Homer (hamstring) all missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday.

Herbert is dealing […]

Wan'Dale Robinson Set To Return To Practice

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) will return to practice on Thursday, according to head coach Brian Daboll. Robinson was held out of practice on Wednesday as the Giants continue to rest him early in the week after he tore his right ACL in his rookie year in 2022. The 22-year-old didn't make […]

Darren Waller Back At Practice Thursday

New York Giants tight end Darren Waller (groin) will take part in practice on Thursday, according to head coach Brian Daboll. Waller was rested with a groin injury in practice on Wednesday, and Waller said all along that was the plan before he was scheduled to return to the practice field on Thursday and Friday. […]

Daniel Jones Missing Another Practice

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that quarterback Daniel Jones (neck) will miss his second straight practice this week on Thursday. At the beginning of the week, the Giants said they were optimistic about Jones' chances of suiting up on Sunday Night Football against the Buffalo Bills. But after two straight missed practices […]

Jordan Addison Practicing Again Thursday

Minnesota Vikings rookie wide receiver Jordan Addison (ankle), who was limited in practice on Wednesday, was on the practice field again on Thursday. The first-year wideout will likely be limited for a second straight day. His status will be worth monitoring heading into Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears, but it looks like he'll have […]

Treylon Burks Ruled Out For London Game

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks (knee) will not travel to London for the team's Week 6 contest against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday and he has been officially ruled out. Burks will miss his third straight game. The 23-year-old second-year wideout is off to a bad start in 2023, catching six of his 13 […]

Marquise Brown Returns To Practice

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown (illness) was back participating in practice on Thursday in a limited fashion after he was held out due to an illness on Wednesday.

Justin Dunn Becomes A Free Agent

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Justin Dunn (shoulder) has chosen free agency after recently being removed from the team's 40-man roster.

Braves Sign Alejo Lopez To Minor-League Deal

The Atlanta Braves signed free-agent infielder Alejo Lopez to a minor-league deal. The Cincinnati Reds took Lopez off their 40-man roster in early October, and he opted to become a free agent.

Clayton Kershaw Could Have Shoulder Re-Examined

Following the Los Angeles Dodgers' early exit from the postseason via a sweep at the hands of the Arizona Diamondbacks in the National League Division Series, left-hander Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) will have some more decisions to make as to whether he'll return for another season in 2024. He said he will take longer to decide […]

Jackson Holliday Will Have A Shot To Make Opening Day Roster

Baltimore Orioles general manager Mike Elias said that shortstop prospect Jackson Holliday will be with the team in major-league spring training camp next year as he was in 2023, but he'll have a legitimate shot to make the Opening Day roster if he performs well. The 19-year-old is making a case quickly to join the […]

John Means Will Be Fine For Spring Training

Baltimore Orioles general manager Mike Elias said that left-hander John Means' elbow checked out fine and he will be a full-go for the start of spring training next year. Means made his return from Tommy John in 2023 but managed to make only four starts for the Orioles in the regular season, going 1-2 with […]

Mike Evans Still Absent At Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) missed another day of practice on Thursday.
