Christian Kirk Primed For Bigger Game In Week 2?

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said wide receiver Christian Kirk's poor performance in the Week 1 win over the Indianapolis Colts -- one catch for nine yards -- was a byproduct of the Colts' zone defense. "Christian thrives against man defense... he'll get his chances [this weekend vs. #Chiefs]," Pederson said. In two games […]

Zack Moss Expected To Be Lead Back If Healthy

The Indianapolis Star's Nate Atkins writes that there is no question Indianapolis Colts running back Zack Moss (forearm) will be the lead back in Week 2 against the Houston Texans if he's healthy. Moss was able to return to practice this week in full on both Wednesday and Thursday, so he appears to be ready […]

Jakobi Meyers Doubtful For Week 2

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (concussion) is still in the league's concussion protocol on Friday and is doubtful to play in Week 2 in Buffalo against the Bills after not practicing all week. Meyers took a hit to the head late in the Week 1 win over the Denver Broncos and has been […]

Kyler Gordon Placed On Injured Reserve

The Chicago Bears placed cornerback Kyler Gordon (hand) on Injured Reserve on Thursday and promoted cornerback Greg Stroman Jr. from the practice squad to the active roster in a corresponding move. Gordon injured his hand in the Week 1 loss to the Green Bay Packers and was ruled out in the second half. The 23-year-old […]

Chase Young Practices In Full Thursday

Washington Commanders defensive end Chase Young (neck) was listed as a full practice participant on Thursday. It's a notable development for the former second overall pick that has been set back by injuries since winning Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2020, as he had been limited in practices since suffering a stinger in the […]

Joey Bosa Misses Another Practice

Los Angeles Chargers outside linebacker Joey Bosa (hamstring) missed his second straight practice of the week on Thursday. Even if Bosa is able to return to practice on Friday, he's trending towards having to miss the Week 2 contest on the road against the Tennessee Titans. That would be great news for quarterback Ryan Tannehill […]

Aaron Rodgers Has Successful Surgery

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) said that "surgery went great yesterday" to fix a torn left Achilles that he suffered in the Week 1 win over the Buffalo Bills on Monday night. Rodgers suffered a season-ending injury on the first offensive series of his Jets tenure and will now miss the entire 2023 […]

Oli Udoh Carted Off With Knee Injury

Minnesota Vikings offensive tackle Oli Udoh (knee) was carted off with a knee injury in the Week 2 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday Night Football. Left tackle Christian Darrisaw was active for the Vikings in this game, but Udoh got the start over him on quarterback Kirk Cousins' blind side as the team […]

Avonte Maddox Suffers Shoulder Injury In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Avonte Maddox (shoulder) suffered a shoulder injury in the Week 2 victory over the Minnesota Vikings and did not return. Before injuring his left shoulder in the first half, Maddox had two tackles (one solo). The good news is that the 27-year-old will have extra time before their Week 3 game against […]

Quez Watkins Injured Thursday Night

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Quez Watkins (hamstring) suffered a hamstring injury in the Thursday night game against the Minnesota Vikings and was ruled out for the rest of the game. Watkins was hurt in the first half and was seen jogging on the sidelines, but the Eagles opted to hold him out for the remainder […]

John Metchie III Limited Again Thursday

Houston Texans wide receiver John Metchie III (hamstring) was limited at practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Metchie has had a tough go of it since being drafted last year. He missed all of his rookie campaign in 2022 after being diagnosed with leukemia and recovering from a torn ACL. He dealt with […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Returns To Practice Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness) returned to a full practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday with an illness. Edwards-Helaire is in line to be active in Week 2 against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday as the defending Super Bowl champions look to bounce back from last Thursday night's loss to […]

Curtis Samuel Limited In Practice Again Thursday

Washington Commanders wide receiver Curtis Samuel (hip) was listed as a limited practice participant for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Samuel could be listed as questionable for a Week 2 meeting with the Denver Broncos on the road this Sunday unless he can return to a full practice on Friday. Still, Samuel […]

Red Sox Fire Chaim Bloom Thursday

The Boston Red Sox fired chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom on Thursday after he was with the team for nearly four full seasons. The Red Sox made it to the American League Championship Series once with Bloom under control, but they also had a pair of last-place finishes and they will not make the postseason […]

Michael Conforto Likely To Be Activated Friday

San Francisco Giants manager Gabe Kapler said he had outfielder Michael Conforto (hamstring) in the starting lineup on Thursday as the designated hitter against the Colorado Rockies before the game was rained out, so it appears likely that Conforto will be activated from the injured list and play on Friday against the Rockies at Coors […]

Romeo Doubs Puts In Another Limited Practice

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs (hamstring) was listed as a limited practice participant for the second straight day on Thursday. Doubs remains on the injury report, but he doesn't appear to be in any real danger of missing a Week 2 showdown against the Falcons in Atlanta this Sunday. And with Christian Watson […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Puts In Full Practice Thursday

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) was a full participant in practice on Thursday after he was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday. It remains unknown if his ankle injury is at all related to his surgically repaired left foot, but either way, it doesn't sound like Garoppolo is in danger of missing […]

Jakobi Meyers Remains Out With Concussion

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol and didn't practice on Thursday for the second straight day. Meyers took a shot to the head late in the Week 1 win over the Denver Broncos and is in danger of missing the Week 2 road contest in Buffalo against […]

Jerry Jeudy Listed As Full Practice Participant

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (hamstring) improved to a full participant in Thursday's practice after he was limited in Wednesday's session. Head coach Sean Payton said that Jeudy was close to playing in the Week 1 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, and now that he's returned to a full practice participant, he's trending […]

James Conner Remains Limited At Practice

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (calf) remained a limited participant at practice on Thursday. Conner should be fine to play in a Week 2 matchup at home against the New York Giants, but he was seen wearing a sleeve on his calf during practice on Thursday. The 28-year-old is Arizona's unquestioned lead back as […]

Breece Hall Listed As Limited Again

New York Jets running back Breece Hall (knee) was listed as a limited practice participant for the second straight day on Thursday. The Jets continue to take it easy on Hall in practices after he tore his ACL in his rookie campaign in 2022. The 22-year-old looked like his explosive and elusive self in the […]

Mark Andrews Limited In Practice Again

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (quadriceps) was limited in practice yet again on Thursday. The Ravens are taking things slowly with Andrews, and he figures to be listed as questionable for the second straight week after he was inactive in the Week 1 win over the Houston Texans. The 28-year-old is improving, but fantasy […]

Jaylen Waddle Back To Full Practice

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (oblique) improved to a full participant in practice on Thursday after he was listed as limited on Wednesday. Waddle was never really in danger of missing Week 2 against the New England Patriots on Sunday night after catching four of his five targets for 78 yards in the Week […]

Carlos Correa Out Again For Twins

Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa is out of the starting lineup for the second straight game on Thursday against the Chicago White Sox. Kyle Farmer will start at the 6 and bat in the eight-hole against White Sox right-hander Jose Urena. Correa has notably been battling plantar fasciitis in his foot for most of the […]

Matt Chapman Reinstated And Starting Thursday

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Matt Chapman (finger) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list on Thursday and is playing third base and batting sixth in the order against the visiting Texas Rangers and right-hander Nathan Eovaldi. Outfielder Nathan Lukes was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move. Chapman is back with the team […]

Davante Adams Back To A Full Participant

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams (foot) was a full participant in practice on Thursday after he didn't take part in Wednesday's practice. This should ease any concerns that fantasy managers might have had that Adams could potentially miss a Week 2 date with the Buffalo Bills on the road. The matchup on the […]

Austin Ekeler Missing From Practice Again

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (ankle) is missing his second straight day of practice on Thursday. Ekeler was away from the team on Wednesday to attend the funeral of his agent, but he probably wouldn't have practiced anyway. Ekeler is shaping up as being up in the air to play in Week 2 […]

Kendre Miller Back At Practice Thursday

New Orleans Saints rookie running back Kendre Miller (hamstring) returned to practice on Thursday after missing the regular season opener last Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. The Saints are facing the Carolina Panthers in Week 2 on Monday night, so Miller will have an extra day to recover as he looks to make his NFL […]

Chris Evans Downgraded Thursday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chris Evans (hamstring) sat out of practice on Thursday after he was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday. The Athletic's Paul Dehner Jr. writes that it's not a great sign for Evans' chances of playing in Week 2 versus the division-rival Baltimore Ravens. The third-year running back has opened the […]

Treylon Burks Returns To Practice

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks was back at practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session due to a personal matter. Burks will be ready to suit up for a Week 2 meeting with the visiting Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. And with DeAndre Hopkins (ankle) now looking questionable to play, there's a chance that […]
