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.

Ryan Mountcastle Back From Injured List

The Baltimore Orioles activated first baseman Ryan Mountcastle (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list on Wednesday and optioned outfielder Ryan McKenna to the minors in a corresponding move. Mountcastle didn't immediately return to Baltimore's starting lineup on Wednesday against the Washington Nationals, but he should make his first start on Thursday for the series opener […]

Randy Arozarena Back In Rays Lineup

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena (quadriceps) is back in left field and is batting third in the order for Tampa on Wednesday against right-hander Bryan Bello and the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. Arozarena missed the last three games with right-quadriceps tightness, but he'll return for fantasy managers to close out the last […]

Yandy Diaz Still Out Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Yandy Diaz (hamstring) remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Boston Red Sox. Isaac Paredes will get the start at first base on Wednesday and will hit fifth against Red Sox right-hander Brayan Bello.

The Cleveland Guardians placed third baseman Gabriel Arias (wrist) on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with a fractured right wrist and recalled shortstop Brayan Rocchio from Triple-A Columbus in a corresponding move.

Starling Marte Won't Play Again This Year

New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte (groin) will not play again in the final week of the 2023 regular season, according to manager Buck Showalter. Marte was hoping to get in some game action in the final week, but this decision shouldn't come as a surprise at all based on the fact that Marte last […]

Zach Davies Designated For Assignment

The Arizona Diamondbacks designated right-hander Zach Davies for assignment on Wednesday and recalled pitcher Justin Martinez from the minors in a corresponding move. Apparently the D-backs had seen enough with Davies after he allowed four earned runs on eight hits in just three innings in a no-decision against the Chicago White Sox in his start […]

Jonathan Mingo Limited On Wednesday

Contrary to a previous report, Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Jonathan Mingo (concussion) was able to put in a limited practice on Wednesday.

Salvon Ahmed "Progressing"

Miami Dolphins running back Salvon Ahmed (groin) is "progressing," according to head coach Mike McDaniel. The Dolphins plan on putting Ahmed through some drills at practice on Wednesday to see how he responds. He'll likely be listed as limited on the official injury report, but it's good news for the 24-year-old after he was inactive […]

DeAndre Hopkins, Derrick Henry Practice Wednesday

Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (ankle) and running back Derrick Henry (toe) both practiced on Wednesday. Hopkins was questionable to play for the second straight week for the Week 3 contest against the Cleveland Browns, but he played and led the team with 48 receiving yards on three catches in the blowout loss. Henry […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Progressing Through Concussion Protocol

Las Vegas Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels said that quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol but that he has made some progress.

Deshaun Watson Resting His Shoulder

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson (shoulder) was on the field for the team's practice on Wednesday but didn't throw at all in the portion open to the media in order to rest his right shoulder. It's not expected to keep him from playing in Week 4 against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens. Watson, who is coming […]

Breece Hall To Remain Limited To Begin The Week

New York Jets running back Breece Hall (knee) will remain a limited participant in the first practice of the week on Wednesday.

Kareem Hunt Expected To Play In Week 4

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said he expects running back Kareem Hunt (groin, ribs) to play in Week 4 against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens on Sunday despite not practicing on Wednesday.

Jaylen Waddle Set To Practice In Full

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (concussion) will practice in full on Wednesday, according to head coach Mike McDaniel, and if all goes well, Waddle will clear the league's concussion protocol and return in Week 4 on Sunday for a showdown against the division-rival Buffalo Bills. Barring a setback at practice this week, Waddle looks […]

Jonathan Mingo Won't Practice Wednesday

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Jonathan Mingo (concussion) will not take part in practice on Wednesday. Mingo is in the league's concussion protocol after suffering a concussion in the Week 3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. He'll have to pass through the protocols at some point this week to get the green light to suit […]

Bryce Young To Return To Practice

Carolina Panthers head coach Frank Reich said that rookie quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) will return to practice on Wednesday, but it's unclear exactly how much he'll do. Even if Young ends up being a limited participant, it's a step in the right direction after he was held out of the Week 3 loss to the […]

Noah Davis Starting Against Dodgers On Wednesday

Colorado Rockies rookie right-hander Noah Davis will make his final start of the season on Wednesday against the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers.

Joey Estes Making Second Start Against Twins

Oakland Athletics rookie right-hander Joey Estes will make his second major-league start on Tuesday in Minnesota against the Twins.
