Saints Sticking With Jameis Winston In Week 4

The New Orleans Saints are sticking with quarterback Jameis Winston under center for the Week 4 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with Derek Carr (shoulder) hurt. Head coach Dennis Allen said Wednesday he never considered Taysom Hill an option for this Sunday's game. Winston wasn't excellent in relief of Carr in the Week 3 […]

Kris Bryant Has Been Under The Weather

Colorado Rockies outfielder/first baseman Kris Bryant (illness) has been absent from the lineup of late for the Rockies because he's been sick. Bryant played in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader, but it's the only time he's been in the lineup in the last four contests for Colorado. Since returning from a long stint on […]

Josh Jones, Laremy Tunsil Expected To Miss Week 4

Houston Texans left tackle Josh Jones (hand) is expected to miss the Week 4 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers due to a hand injury, according to league sources. Meanwhile, Pro Bowl left tackle Laremy Tunsil (knee) remains sidelined with a lingering knee injury and is on track to miss his third straight game. The Texans […]

Joey Bosa, Derwin James Jr. Miss Practice

Los Angeles Chargers outside linebacker Joey Bosa (hamstring, toe) and safety Derwin James Jr. (hamstring) both missed practice on Wednesday, as well as linebacker Kenneth Murray Jr. (groin). Bosa is rarely 100 percent healthy and is now dealing with two injuries, but as long as he's able to return to practice by Friday, he should […]

Broncos Visiting With Tre'Quan Smith

The Denver Broncos are bringing in former New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (groin) for a visit after he was released by the Saints on Tuesday. Smith played five seasons for the Saints, with four coming under head coach Sean Payton. The 27-year-old former third-round pick by the Saints in 2018 out of Central […]

Trevor Siemian Won't Be Active In Week 4

New York Jets quarterback Trevor Siemian, who was signed to the practice squad on Tuesday, will be inactive in Week 4 against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night, according to head coach Robert Saleh. Saleh knows that Siemian is a fast learner, but he will not say how long it will take before he's […]

Robert Saleh Says Zach Wilson Needs To Improve

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh has been supportive of quarterback Zach Wilson despite his struggles under center through the first three weeks of the season, but that could change in a hurry. "We all acknowledge that he has to play better. He definitely needs to get better," Saleh said. Wilson led the Jets […]

Christian Watson Expected To Play Thursday Night

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Thursday night's divisional showdown against the Detroit Lions, will make his season debut, barring an unexpected setback, according to a source. It's not a huge surprise after he told reporters he had "planned" to play earlier this week. The 24-year-old had […]

Royce Lewis, Byron Buxton Take Part In Sim Game

Minnesota Twins infielder Royce Lewis (hamstring) and outfielder/designated hitter Byron Buxton (knee) took part in simulated game action at Target Field on Wednesday. Lewis hit a home run. Neither Lewis nor Buxton are going to help fantasy managers from here on out, but the Twins could get them both back for the playoffs. Lewis suffered […]

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Could Return Thursday

Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said that outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (shoulder) was scratched from Wednesday's win over the Chicago White Sox after feeling tightness in his left shoulder while taking batting practice. Gurriel said after Wednesday's game that he was feeling much better and he could return to the series finale on Thursday in […]

Aaron Nola Won't Pitch Again In Regular Season

Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola won't pitch again in the 2023 regular season, with his next start coming in Game 2 of the wild-card series a week from Wednesday. Right-hander Zack Wheeler will get the nod in Game 1. The team's Game 3 starter will depend on how the first two games of the series […]

Max Scherzer Throws Light Bullpen

Texas Rangers right-hander Max Scherzer (shoulder) threw a light bullpen session on Wednesday and will see how he feels on Thursday. Scherzer and the Rangers aren't putting a timeline on his potential return after he was diagnosed with a low-grade strain of the teres-major muscle in his right shoulder two weeks ago, although he was […]

Kadarius Toney Still On Chiefs Injury Report

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney (toe) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Toney played in the Week 3 blowout win over the Chicago Bears despite being listed as questionable for that contest. However, he played just two offensive snaps and still isn't 100 percent healthy. The oft-injured 24-year-old former first-rounder […]

Gerald Everett Out Sick Wednesday

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Gerald Everett (illness) missed practice on Wednesday due to an illness. It would be surprising if Everett wasn't able to return to the practice field later this week, but we'll keep a close eye on his status leading up to Sunday's contest against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders. Receiver Mike […]

Allen Robinson II Misses Wednesday's Practice

As expected, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Allen Robinson II (ankle) sat out of the first practice of the week on Wednesday after injuring his ankle in the Week 3 win over the Las Vegas Raiders last Sunday night. Head coach Mike Tomlin said that Robinson could be limited in the early portion of the week […]

Tyler Higbee Misses Practice With Achilles Injury

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (Achilles) was not present for the team's practice on Wednesday due to an Achilles injury. It's not a great start to a short week for Higbee, but if he can get back on the practice field in the next two days, he'll have a shot at playing in […]

Treylon Burks Limited At Wednesday's Practice

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks (knee) was limited in practice on Wednesday and was seen with a wrap on his left leg. Even though Burks was able to do something in the first practice of the week, this bears watching after the 23-year-old second-year pass-catcher suffered an injury to the same knee in training […]

No Practice For Derek Carr On Wednesday

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (shoulder) was unable to practice on Wednesday. Carr is week-to-week heading into Week 4 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this Sunday after suffering an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder in the Week 3 loss to the Green Bay Packers. The 32-year-old is unlikely to make a return […]

Jerry Jeudy Limited With Knee Injury

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (knee) is on the initial Week 4 injury report after being limited in practice on Wednesday with a knee injury. Jeudy missed the season opener due to a hamstring injury suffered late in training camp, but this knee issue is new and must be something he picked up in […]

Miles Sanders Still On The Injury Report

Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders (groin) can't seem to shake his groin injury and put in a limited practice on Wednesday. Sanders was on last week's injury report with a pectoral injury, but he missed time in training camp in August with a groin injury. Regardless, the injury isn't very serious and shouldn't keep […]

Bryce Young On Track To Start In Week 4

Carolina Panthers rookie quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday, which puts him on track to start in Week 4 on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. Young tweaked his ankle in Week 2 and was held out in the Week 3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. It appears the first […]

Jerome Ford Limited On Wednesday

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford (shoulder) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Ford apparently suffered a shoulder injury in the Week 3 win over the Tennessee Titans and could be questionable to play in Week 4 at home against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens. Still, the fact he practiced at all to […]

Puka Nacua Still Dealing With Oblique Injury

Los Angeles Rams rookie wide receiver Puka Nacua (oblique) remained limited at practice on Wednesday. Nacua has been playing through a nagging oblique injury in the first three weeks of his NFL career, and the Rams are managing his repetitions throughout the week. It hasn't really affected the 23-year-old fifth-rounder, though, as he's managed an […]

James Conner Dealing With Back Injury

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (back) is on the Week 4 injury report and was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Conner has already played through a calf injury this year and is now dealing with a back issue, although it doesn't appear serious enough to keep him from playing in Week […]

Joe Burrow Listed As Full Practice Participant

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (calf) was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's practice for the first time since the week of the Baltimore Ravens game in Week 2. However, the Bengals only held a walkthrough practice on Wednesday, so his status was an estimation. The 26-year-old strained his calf at the beginning of […]

Patrick Mahomes Not Slowed By Ankle

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (ankle) was able to put in a full practice on Wednesday. Mahomes had an injury scare in the blowout win over the Chicago Bears in Week 3 when his right ankle was rolled up on, but he remained in the game and wasn't limited in the team's first practice […]

Rams Hoping Cooper Kupp Can Return In Week 5

When asked if he expects Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (hamstring) to come off Injured Reserve to make his season debut in Week 5 against the Philadelphia Eagles, head coach Sean McVay said, "That's the hope." Kupp is "ramping up his workload" and "progressing," according to McVay. It's all good news for Kupp's […]

Austin Ekeler Returns To Practice

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (ankle) returned to a limited practice session on Wednesday. Ekeler didn't practice or play the last two weeks after injuring his ankle in the season opener, so the fact that he was back out on the field on Wednesday is a great sign for his chances of playing […]

Adbert Alzolay Throws Live Batting Practice

Chicago Cubs closer Adbert Alzolay (forearm) threw 20 pitches in a live batting practice session to Jeimer Candelario on Wednesday. Alzolay was placed on the injured list in the middle of September with a right-forearm strain, but he's making good progress and could return to the Cubs bullpen before the end of the 2023 regular […]

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Scratched With Shoulder Discomfort

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (shoulder) was scratched from Wednesday's starting lineup against the Chicago White Sox with left-shoulder discomfort, according to the team. With Gurriel heading to the bench, Jake McCarthy entered Arizona's lineup in right field and hit seventh against White Sox right-hander Luis Patino. For now, the 29-year-old Gurriel should be […]
