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 […]

Raheem Mostert Returns To Practice

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (knee) was back at practice on Thursday after being held out for rest and maintenance purposes on Wednesday. Mostert's knee is something to watch given his extensive injury history, but for now it looks he shouldn't have a problem playing in Week 2 against the New England Patriots on […]

Darren Waller Doesn't Expect To Be Limited

New York Giants tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) doesn't expect to be limited by his hamstring injury in Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals. "Nah, I'm playing," Waller said. Waller also said his hamstring injury shouldn't be a concern moving forward after he didn't take part in practice on Wednesday. His hamstring injury in 2022 […]

DeAndre Hopkins Misses Another Practice Thursday

Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (ankle) missed the open part of practice on Thursday for the second straight day. It was believed that Hopkins might have been receiving a rest and maintenance day on Wednesday, but two straight missed practices to open the week have him potentially being questionable for a Week 2 meeting […]

Christian Watson Still Not Practicing Thursday

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (hamstring) missed yet another practice on Thursday after being with the team for the stretching period. Watson was inactive for the Week 1 victory over the Chicago Bears and has yet to practice this week. The 24-year-old still has a chance to practice on Friday, but at this […]

Aaron Jones Misses Another Practice

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (hamstring) missed a second straight practice on Thursday and stayed inside after the stretching period when the team went outside to work. Jones tweaked his hamstring at the end of a long touchdown catch and run in the Week 1 win over the Chicago Bears and didn't return […]

Calvin Austin III Expected To See More Playing Time

With Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (hamstring) potentially out up to a month due to hamstring injury he suffered in the Week 1 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, second-year wideout Calvin Austin III is expected to see more playing time after spending his entire rookie season on Injured Reserve with a foot injury. […]

Travis Kelce's Week 2 Status Up In The Air

Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy said that tight end Travis Kelce (knee) looked good during a limited practice on Wednesday, but head coach Andy Reid and general manager Brett Veach will make the final call on whether Kelce plays in Week 2 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Nagy said the team has prepared game […]

Brandin Cooks Dealing With Sprained MCL

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks (knee) is dealing with a sprained MCL in his knee, according to a source. Cooks didn't practice for the second straight day on Thursday and instead is working with the rehab group, according to head coach Mike McCarthy. McCarthy said the Cooks was improving and has a chance to […]

Michael King Built Up For 85-90 Pitches For Thursday's Outing

New York Yankees right-hander Michael King is built up to go around 85 to 90 pitches in his start on Thursday against the division-rival Boston Red Sox, according to pitching coach Matt Blake. King's last four appearances have been starts and he went 79 pitches in his last outing while striking out nine in five […]

Elly De La Cruz Hitting Eighth Against Tigers

Cincinnati Reds rookie infielder Elly De La Cruz is starting at shortstop and is hitting eighth in the batting order on Thursday against the Detroit Tigers and right-hander Reese Olson. De La Cruz has burst onto the major-league scene this year and helped the Reds surprisingly compete for a wild-card spot, but he's gone just […]

Christian Encarnacion-Strand Starting On The Bench

Cincinnati Reds rookie third baseman Christian Encarnacion-Strand will start Thursday's game against the Detroit Tigers on the bench for the third time in the last four games. Spencer Steer is starting at third base and batting third, while Jake Fraley is the designated hitter and batting leadoff against Tigers right-hander Reese Olson. Now that Fraley […]

Christian Yelich Still On The Bench

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (back) remains sidelined on Thursday against the visiting Miami Marlins. Tyrone Taylor is making another start in left field and is batting eighth in the order against Marlins right-hander Eury Perez. Yelich is apparently improving and did some baseball activities this week, but he hasn't played since last Friday due […]

Mark Canha Remains Out Against Marlins

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Mark Canha (wrist) remains out of action on Thursday with the team taking on the visiting Miami Marlins. Canha received a cortisone injection in his sore left wrist on Wednesday and will continue to be held out until he feels better. He should be considered day-to-day for now, and the hope is […]
