Durham Smythe Picks Up A DNP Wednesday

Miami Dolphins tight end Durham Smythe (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. Smythe left the Week 8 win over the New England Patriots wearing a walking boot, so it shouldn't be a big surprise that he's not practicing a few days later. The 28-year-old could be considered a long shot to be ready to play […]

Jaylen Waddle Practicing In Full

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (back) practiced in full on Wednesday. Barring a setback, Waddle will be ready to go in Germany this Sunday to face the defending Super Bowl-champion Kansas City Chiefs. Waddle had his best game of the year in the Week 8 win over the New England Patriots last Sunday, catching […]

Raheem Mostert Sits Out Wednesday

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (ankle) did not take part in Wednesday's practice. Mostert also missed practice last Wednesday before being limited on Thursday and Friday and playing in the Week 8 win over the New England Patriots despite carrying a questionable tag into that game. The 31-year-old played 56 percent of the offensive […]

Graham Gano Limited On Wednesday

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (knee) put in a limited practice on Wednesday while dealing with a left-knee injury. Gano missed two of his three field-goal tries in a three-point overtime loss to the New York Jets in Week 8. It's a good sign that the 36-year-old veteran kicker is practicing again this week […]

Wan'Dale Robinson Still Limited By Knee

The New York Giants continue to take it easy with second-year wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) in early-week practices after he tore his right ACL in his rookie campaign in 2022. Robinson was officially limited in Wednesday's practice. The 22-year-old probably is in no danger of missing the Week 9 game against the Las Vegas […]

Saquon Barkley Limited In Wednesday's Practice

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Barkley was on last week's injury report with an elbow injury but he played through it in the Week 8 overtime loss to the New York Jets. The 26-year-old missed Weeks 3-5 after suffering a high-ankle sprain in […]

David Njoku Misses Practice With Ankle Injury

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (ankle) missed Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury he apparently picked up in the Week 8 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Njoku played 77 percent of the offensive snaps on Sunday and broke out with his best game of the year, catching four passes for 77 yards and […]

Jerome Ford Listed As Limited Wednesday

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford (ankle) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Ford suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 7 and played through the injury in the Week 8 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, but he said he feels "pretty good" heading into a Week 9 tilt against the Arizona Cardinals. […]

Deshaun Watson Looks Good In Practice

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson (shoulder) went through what looked like a normal early-practice throwing session on Wednesday. He waived off the backups a couple times for extra throws and didn't appear to be restricted in any way during the period open to the media. The Browns officially listed Watson as limited as he tries […]

Puka Nacua Limited With Knee Injury

Los Angeles Rams rookie wide receiver Puka Nacua (knee) was listed as limited on the team's first practice report on Wednesday. Head coach Sean McVay said on Monday that Nacua came out of the Week 8 loss to the Dallas Cowboys with some swelling in his knee. The Rams could limit the 23-year-old the rest […]

Josh Allen Officially Misses Practice Wednesday

Updating a previous report, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice after it was previously reported that he was limited with a shoulder injury he aggravated in last Thursday night's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. All signs point to Allen taking more of a maintenance day on […]

Braves Outright Ben Heller, Andrew Velazquez To Triple-A

The Atlanta Braves outrighted right-hander Ben Heller and infielder Andrew Velazquez to Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday. The Baltimore Orioles also claimed outfielder Sam Hilliard off waivers from the Braves. Heller, 32, made his first appearance in the big leagues in three years in 2023 and surrendered nine runs (eight earned) on 16 hits (two home […]

Travis Jankowski Making Another Start In Game 5

The Texas Rangers don't really have any reason to change up their lineup after putting up 11 runs in the victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks in Game 4 of the World Series on Tuesday. Now that outfielder Adolis Garcia (oblique) is off the World Series roster, Travis Jankowski will make a second straight start in […]

Orioles Claim Sam Hilliard Off Waivers From Braves

The Baltimore Orioles claimed outfielder Sam Hilliard (heel) off waivers from the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday and designated right-hander Joey Krehbiel for assignment in a corresponding move. Before missing the end of the regular season in 2023 due to a heel injury, Hilliard went 17-for-72 (.236) with three home runs, five doubles, six RBI, four […]

Evan Longoria Back In World Series Lineup

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Evan Longoria is back at third base and is hitting eighth in Game 5 of the World Series on Wednesday against the Texas Rangers and right-hander Nathan Eovaldi as the D-backs look to stave off elimination. Emmanuel Rivera will return to the bench after starting at the hot corner in Game […]

Jonathan Davis, Enmanuel De Jesus, Jeff Lindgren Outrighted

The Miami Marlins outrighted outfielder Jonathan Davis (knee) and pitchers Enmanuel De Jesus and Jeff Lindgren to Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday. Davis loses his roster spot after having season-ending surgery on his right knee back in early July. He has been running since close to the end of the regular season, though, so he should […]

Jalen Reagor Expected To Become A Starter

There is more opportunity in the New England Patriots pass-catching group now that receiver Kendrick Bourne (knee) is done for the year with a torn ACL. Wideouts Jalen Reagor, rookie Demario Douglas and JuJu Smith-Schuster are now the top three pass-catchers on the depth chart, with second-year receiver Tyquan Thornton and rookie Kayshon Boutte next […]

Hayden Hurst Out Sick Wednesday

Carolina Panthers tight end Hayden Hurst (illness) missed practice due to an illness on Wednesday. Hurst is a little under the weather to begin the practice week, but he still has plenty of time to feel better before the Week 9 contest versus the Indianapolis Colts this Sunday. We'll keep a close eye on Hurst's […]

DJ Chark Jr., Laviska Shenault Jr. Miss Practice

Carolina Panthers wide receivers DJ Chark Jr. (elbow) and Laviska Shenault Jr. (ankle) both missed the first official practice of the week on Wednesday. It remains to be seen how serious the injuries are for both Chark and Shenault, but for now, they should be considered questionable to play in Week 9 against the Indianapolis […]

P.J. Walker Will Start In Week 9 If Deshaun Watson Misses Another Game

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said that quarterback P.J. Walker will start in Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals if Deshaun Watson (shoulder) misses another game. Watson is set to be limited in practice on Wednesday, but he was inactive in the Week 8 loss to the Seattle Seahawks for the third time this […]

Drake London Won't Practice Wednesday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (groin) will not practice on Wednesday after getting injured in the Week 8 loss to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. Head coach Arthur Smith said the team will "see how the week goes" before determining London's status for the Week 9 contest against the Minnesota Vikings. The 22-year-old second-year […]

Robert Woods Expected To Miss Week 9

Houston Texans wide receiver Robert Woods (foot) is not practicing on Wednesday due to a foot injury that is expected to keep him out for another game in Week 9 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this Sunday, according to a league source. Woods was inactive in the Week 8 loss to the Carolina Panthers and […]

Richie James' Practice Window Opens

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Richie James (knee), who is still on Injured Reserve, is returning to practice on Wednesday, which will open his 21-day practice window to return from IR. James' return to practice this week doesn't necessarily mean he'll be activated in order to play in Germany in Week 9 against the Miami […]

Jerick McKinnon Won't Practice Wednesday

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that running back Jerick McKinnon (groin) will not practice on Wednesday. McKinnon was also on last week's injury report with a groin injury, but he practiced in full on Friday and played in the Week 8 loss to the Denver Broncos, carrying the ball two times for […]

Patrick Mahomes Doesn't Have Flu-Like Symptoms

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said quarterback Patrick Mahomes (illness) no longer has flu-like symptoms. Mahomes was under the weather in Week 8 against the division-rival Denver Broncos on the road, and it showed, as he had his worst performance of the year (and maybe of his career) in the 24-9 upset loss. […]

Josh Allen Will Be Limited Wednesday

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (shoulder) will be limited in practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Sean McDermott. Allen is currently working through a shoulder injury suffered in last Thursday's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 27-year-old initially injured his right shoulder during a hard fall in the Week 6 win over the […]

Tyrod Taylor Won't Practice Wednesday

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that quarterback Tyrod Taylor (ribs) will not practice on Wednesday. It doesn't come as a surprise after Taylor suffered a rib injury in the Week 8 overtime loss to the New York Jets and then had to spent the night in the hospital for precautionary observation. Normal […]

Daniel Jones Practicing Without Limitations

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that quarterback Daniel Jones (neck) is practicing on Wednesday without any limitations and is good to go heading into a Week 9 game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Jones has missed the last three games but was cleared for contact on Sunday and is trending toward making […]

Darren Waller Won't Practice Wednesday

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) will not practice on Wednesday. Waller injured his hamstring in the Week 8 overtime loss to the New York Jets and finished with only one catch for four yards before being forced from the contest. It's not a great start to the […]

Mac Jones Struggling With The Deep Ball

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones hasn't completed a pass over 20 air yards in over three weeks. The last time Jones connected on a deep throw was in the first quarter in the Week 5 loss to the New Orleans Saints. Since then, he's 0-for-3 on 20-plus air-yard throws, including the full game against […]
