Roschon Johnson Expected To See His Role Gradually Increase

The Chicago Bears are shaking up their offense after an 0-3 start. One of the repercussions is that wide receiver Chase Claypool is a healthy scratch for the Week 4 game against the Denver Broncos. Rookie running back Roschon Johnson has impressed through the first three weeks of his NFL career, and the expectation is […]

Jonathan Mingo Out In Week 4

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Jonathan Mingo (concussion) has officially been ruled out for the Week 4 game on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. Mingo suffered a concussion in the Week 3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks and was unable to clear the concussion protocol before this Sunday's game. He was only able to get […]

Miles Sanders Active Against Vikings

Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders (groin), who was questionable to play in Week 4 against the Minnesota Vikings, is officially active on Sunday. Sanders was limited on Wednesday and Thursday before not practicing on Friday. Raheem Blackshear is also a healthy scratch for this one, so it doesn't appear that Sanders' groin injury is […]

Derek Carr Officially Active On Sunday

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (shoulder) is officially active for the Week 4 game on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Carr suffered an AC joint sprain in his right throwing shoulder in the Week 3 loss to the Green Bay Packers and was considered week-to-week on Monday, but he apparently made great progress […]

D'Onta Foreman A Healthy Scratch Again

Chicago Bears running back D'Onta Foreman is once again a healthy scratch in Week 4 against the Denver Broncos, as is wide receiver Chase Claypool. This will be the third straight game that Foreman has been inactive, as he has fallen behind rookie Roschon Johnson on the team's running back depth chart. Travis Homer (ankle) […]

Panthers In The Market For Wide Receiver

The Carolina Panthers continue to build for the future and solidify their roster for 2023 and beyond after they traded to acquire the No. 1 pick in this year's draft, which they used to select quarterback Bryce Young.

Tyler Biadasz, Zack Martin Expected To Play

The Dallas Cowboys are expected to have center Tyler Biadasz (hamstring) and offensive guard Zack Martin (ankle) for the Week 4 contest against the New England Patriots on Sunday, according to a source. It's a big boost for a Cowboys offensive line that will be without offensive tackle Tyron Smith (ankle) as they look to […]

Dolphins Expected To Use De'Von Achane More

The Miami Dolphins are expected to use rookie running back De'Von Achane more in Week 4 against the division-rival Buffalo Bills, according to a source. Achane has earned an increased workload after his absurd 203-yard rushing performance in the Week 3 win over the Denver Broncos in which he averaged 11.3 yards per carry and […]

Brandon Belt Resting On Saturday

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman/designated hitter Brandon Belt is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the visiting Tampa Bay Rays.

Belt […]

Yandy Diaz Homers In Return From Injury

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Yandy Diaz proved he's healthy by going 2-for-2 with a home run, two RBI, a run scored and a walk in Friday's 11-4 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. Diaz had missed the team's previous two games this week as a precaution, but he returned with a bang on Friday. […]

Tyler Stephenson Goes Deep In Blowout Win

Cincinnati Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson got in on the action in Friday's 19-2 demolition of the St. Louis Cardinals, going 1-for-5 with a home run, two RBI, two runs scored and a strikeout.

Yency Almonte Begins Rehab Assignment

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Yency Almonte (knee) is starting a minor-league rehab assignment for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday. The Dodgers will have a first-round bye in the playoffs for the wild-card round, but Almonte probably won't be able to join the Dodgers in the postseason unless they advance to the National League Championship […]

Erasmo Ramirez Designated For Assignment

The Tampa Bay Rays designated right-hander Erasmo Ramirez for assignment on Saturday and recalled right-hander Cooper Criswell from Triple-A Durham in a corresponding move. Ramirez has made 37 appearances (two starts) this year for the Rays and Washington Nationals and hasn't been effective at all with a 6.12 ERA (4.82 FIP), 1.52 WHIP, 13 walks […]

Keibert Ruiz Scores Three Runs In Winning Effort

Washington Nationals catcher Keibert Ruiz was busy on Friday night in the team's 10-6 win over the Braves in Atlanta. Ruiz finished the contest 2-for-5 with a solo home run, an RBI and three runs scored out of the cleanup spot for Washington. Ruiz is now on a modest five-game hitting streak and has gone […]

Luis Garcia Picks Up Two Hits In Win Over Braves

Washington Nationals second baseman Luis Garcia went 2-for-5 with a double and an RBI in the team's 10-6 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Friday night. Garcia was struggling so badly that he was sent to the minors in the second half of the season. Since his return on Sept. 8, he's gone 18-for-60 (.300) […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. Steals Two More Bases Friday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. didn't even play a full game in Friday's 10-6 loss to the visiting Washington Nationals, but he still managed to steal two bases while going 1-for-2 with an RBI and a run scored. The Braves have already clinched the National League East title, so the Braves chose to give […]

Saquon Barkley Expected To Be Game-Time Decision

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) will practice again on Saturday, and head coach Brian Daboll expects to take the decision on whether Barkley plays on Monday against the Seattle Seahawks up to game time. Barkley suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 2 and did not suit up in the Week 3 loss […]

Derek Carr Likely To Be Game-Time Decision

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (shoulder) wants to play in Week 4 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but it's likely going to come down to a game-time decision on Sunday, according to a source. He's likely 50-50 at this point. NewOrleans.Football's Nick Underhill points out that the Saints are already down an offensive lineman, […]

Bengals Place Charlie Jones On Injured Reserve

The Cincinnati Bengals placed rookie wide receiver Charlie Jones (thumb) on Injured Reserve and acquired linebacker Devin Harper off waivers from the Dallas Cowboys in a corresponding move on Saturday. Jones, a rookie from Purdue, suffered a thumb injury in the Monday night win over the Los Angeles Rams, will now have to miss at […]

Justice Hill Expected To Play Sunday

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (toe), who is listed as questionable to play in Week 4 against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday due to turf toe, is expected to play, according to sources. Melvin Gordon III is also likely to get another call-up to the active roster from the practice squad to serve as […]

Will Dissly Limited Again Friday

Seattle Seahawks tight end Will Dissly (shoulder) was limited for the second straight day in practice on Friday. Dissly was held out of the Week 3 win over the Carolina Panthers, but he appears to at least have a shot at returning on Monday night this week on the road in New York against the […]

Kyle Van Noy Being Added To Active Roster

The Baltimore Ravens are signing free-agent linebacker Kyle Van Noy to their 53-man active roster on Saturday, according to a source. The move comes just four days after the team added Van Noy to their practice squad, and now he inks a deal that positions him to be on the roster for the rest of […]

Cowboys Rule Tyron Smith Out For Week 4

The Dallas Cowboys have ruled left tackle Tyron Smith (knee) out for the Week 4 game on Sunday against the New England Patriots. Smith didn't actually miss the Week 3 upset loss to the Arizona Cardinals, but he didn't play at all and stayed on the sidelines, so he'll effectively be missing his second straight […]

Texans Rule Out Laremy Tunsil, Josh Jones

Houston Texans offensive tackles Laremy Tunsil (knee) and Josh Jones (hand) have both been ruled out for Sunday's clash versus the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 4. Austin Deculus is expected to start at left tackle this weekend, which could be extremely bad news for rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud and the Texans offense against Steelers pass-rushers […]

Damar Hamlin Expected To Make Season Debut

Buffalo Bills defensive back Damar Hamlin is expected to be active in Week 4 against the division-rival Miami Dolphins on Sunday for the first time since suffering cardiac arrest in a Monday night game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Jan. 2.

Humphrey […]

Justin Simmons Questionable, Josey Jewell Ruled Out

The Denver Broncos defense could be short-handed in Week 4 on the road in Chicago against the Bears as they look to put the bad taste of giving up 70 points to the Miami Dolphins in Week 3 behind them. Safety Justin Simmons (hip) is listed as questionable to play on Sunday, while linebackers Josey […]

Derwin James Doubtful For Week 4

Los Angeles Chargers star free safety Derwin James (hamstring) was unable to practice all week and is doubtful to suit up this Sunday for a Week 4 matchup against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders. The Bolts defense could be quite short-handed this weekend, with star pass-rusher Joey Bosa (hamstring, toe) and safety Alohi Gilman (heel) […]

Maxx Crosby Questionable For Week 4

Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby (knee) is listed as questionable for the Week 4 divisional clash on Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers. The good news, though, is that the Pro Bowl pass-rusher put in a limited practice on Friday after being a DNP on Thursday. The Raiders defense won't have linebacker Curtis […]

DeVonta Smith Has No Injury Designation

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (illness) was limited in practice on Friday and was removed from the final Week 4 injury report, so he will play on Sunday against the Washington Commanders.
