P.J. Higgins Designated For Assignment

The Chicago Cubs designated catcher/infielder P.J. Higgins for assignment on Thursday to open up a spot on the 40-man roster for recently signed catcher Tucker Barnhart. Higgins is the odd man out at the catcher position for the Cubs after they signed Barnhart to a two-year deal this offseason. The 29-year-old backstop spent his first […]

Yankees Ink Tyler Danish To Minor-League Deal

The New York Yankees signed free-agent right-hander Tyler Danish to a minor-league deal on Thursday that includes an invite to major-league spring training. Danish spent last season with the Boston Red Sox, appearing in 32 games out of the bullpen while compiling a 5.13 ERA (4.97 FIP), 1.28 WHIP and 18.5 percent strikeout rate in […]

Deebo Samuel Practicing On Thursday

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (ankle, knee) was indeed practicing on Thursday. Samuel was seen doing a little dancing and also ran some routes. It doesn't mean he will return this Sunday to face the Las Vegas Raiders, but it's a great sign for his availability in the playoffs. Thursday is Samuel's first […]

Chris Olave Puts In Another Limited Practice

New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Chris Olave (hamstring) was limited in practice for the second day in a row on Thursday. The 22-year-old first-rounder didn't practice at all last week and missed the Week 16 win over the Cleveland Browns. However, he's back on the field this week and looks primed to return to […]

Alvin Kamara Misses Another Practice

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (quadriceps, personal) was out of practice for the second day this week on Thursday. Kamara's status for Week 17 against the Philadelphia Eagles is now firmly in question, so it will be interesting to see if he returns to the practice field on Friday. The Saints would be […]

Ryan Tannehill Lands On Injured Reserve

The Tennessee Titans placed quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle) on Injured Reserve on Thursday, almost certainly ending his 2022 season. The Titans also put outside linebacker Bud Dupree (pectoral) and linebacker Zach Cunningham (elbow) on Injured Reserve. Even if the Titans make the playoffs and make a deep postseason run, there's no guarantee that Tannehill would […]

Joey Bosa Designated To Return From Injured Reserve

The Los Angeles Chargers designated defensive end Joey Bosa (groin) to return from Injured Reserve on Thursday. Bosa is now back at practice and the Chargers can now officially activate him from Injured Reserve at any time. The 27-year-old pass-rusher has been out since tearing his groin in Week 3 in September. Bosa may not […]

Giants Designate Xavier McKinney To Return From NFI List

The New York Giants designated safety Xavier McKinney (hand) to return from the Non-Football Injury list on Thursday. McKinney's 21-day practice window is now open, and he's back at practice on Thursday with a giant cast/splint on his injured left hand. The 23-year-old is not expected to make his return in Week 17 against the […]

Derrick Henry Will Play In Week 18

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (hip), who is doubtful to play on Thursday night against the Dallas Cowboys, will return to play in the regular season finale in Week 18 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to a source. The Titans will get into the playoffs if they win in Week 18 -- Thursday's game […]

Lamar Jackson Misses 11th Straight Practice

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) missed his 11th straight practice on Thursday. It looks like backup Tyler Huntley will start under center for the fourth straight game in Week 17 against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday Night Football. At this point, Jackson is unlikely to play until the postseason after spraining his knee […]

Miles Sanders Returns To Thursday's Practice

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (knee) is back at practice on Thursday after he was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice. The Eagles were likely giving Sanders a day to rest on Wednesday. It's unclear if he was limited or full on Thursday, but the fact that he was back on the field is a […]

Jalen Hurts Does Some Throwing Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (shoulder) was seen doing some throwing at the start of Thursday's practice. It's more than Hurts did last week, but there's still a chance he'll be listed as a non-participant on Thursday's final injury report after he was a DNP on Wednesday. The 24-year-old is dealing with a sprained right […]

Aaron Rodgers Back At Practice

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee, thumb) is back at practice on Thursday after sitting out Wednesday's session with a minor knee injury. Rodgers admitted he was given a veteran rest day to begin the practice week. He's dealing with a knee injury, but it shouldn't affect his performance in Week 17 in another […]

Christian Watson Misses Thursday's Practice

Contrary to a previous report, Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Christian Watson (hip) did not practice on Thursday. Head coach Matt LaFleur said earlier that Watson would be limited on Thursday, but that didn't end up being the case. With back-to-back missed practices, the 23-year-old second-rounder will likely need to practice on Friday to […]

Tony Pollard Won't Play Thursday Night

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard (thigh) will be inactive on Thursday night against the Tennessee Titans, according to a source. Pollard came into the short week highly questionable, and it's not much of a surprise that the Cowboys are holding him out so that he'll be healthy for the postseason. It will be his […]

Yankees Acquire Indigo Diaz, Caleb Durbin

The New York Yankees acquired right-hander Indigo Diaz and infielder Caleb Durbin from the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday night in exchange for left-handed reliever Lucas Luetge. Diaz, who stands at 6-foot-5, went 3-4 with four saves and a 3.08 ERA in 49 games for Double-A Mississippi last season. The 24-year-old has gone 10-6 in three […]

Lewin Diaz Designated For Assignment By Braves

The Atlanta Braves designated infielder Lewin Diaz for assignment on Wednesday to make room on the 40-man roster for left-hander Lucas Luetge, who was acquired in a trade from the New York Yankees. The Braves sent right-hander Indigo Diaz and infielder Caleb Durbin to the Yanks. It's been a tumultuous offseason for Diaz, who has […]

Pirates Designate Bryse Wilson For Assignment

The Pittsburgh Pirates designated right-hander Bryse Wilson for assignment on Wednesday to make room on the 40-man roster for the recently signed Jarlin Garcia. Wilson appeared in 25 games (20 starts) for the Bucs last season and went 3-9 with a 5.52 ERA (5.06 FIP), 1.42 WHIP and 15.5 percent strikeout rate over a career-high […]

Hoy Park Designated For Assignment Again

The Atlanta Braves designated infielder Hoy Park for assignment on Wednesday to make room on the 40-man roster for outfielder Eli White, who was acquired in a trade from the Texas Rangers. Park has been designated for assignment three times this offseason, so there's no telling where he'll land next. The 26-year-old spent most of […]

Malik Willis Benched, Joshua Dobbs To Start Thursday

The Tennessee Titans are expected to bench rookie quarterback Malik Willis and will start third-stringer Joshua Dobbs on Thursday Night Football against the Dallas Cowboys. Willis made his third NFL start in the Week 16 loss to the Houston Texans and went 14-for-23 for just 99 yards while carrying the ball seven times for 43 […]

Stefon Diggs Out Sick Thursday

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that wide receiver Stefon Diggs (illness) will not practice on Thursday due to an illness. The Bills are hoping to get Diggs back at practice on Friday, so fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried about his status right now for the Monday night showdown against the Cincinnati Bengals […]

Tyler Lockett Officially A DNP On Wednesday

Updating a previous report, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (finger) was officially listed as a non-participant at Wednesday's practice despite the fact that head coach Pete Carroll said that Lockett "did everything" during the team's walkthrough practice and "looked great." The 30-year-old had surgery to fix a fractured left hand and miss the Week […]

Teagan Quitoriano Not Practicing

Houston Texans rookie tight end Teagan Quitoriano (knee, quadriceps) isn't taking part in Thursday's practice after suffering a hyperextended right knee in the Week 16 win over the Tennessee Titans. He's also dealing with a bruised quadriceps, but no structural damage was found in his knee after undergoing tests earlier this week. The 22-year-old has […]

Christian Watson Will Be Limited Thursday

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Christian Watson (hip) will be limited in Thursday's practice after he missed Wednesday's session, according to head coach Matt LaFleur. Watson didn't play at all in the second half of the Christmas Day win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 16, but he still managed to catch six of […]

Antonio Gibson Missing Another Practice Thursday

Washington Commanders running back Antonio Gibson (foot, knee) is missing another day of practice on Thursday. The Commanders don't seem to think Gibson's injury is very serious, but two missed practices to begin the weeks says otherwise, leaving his status for the Week 17 game against the Cleveland Browns very much in doubt. If the […]

Cam Akers May Stick Around In LA

The Los Angeles Rams tried and failed to trade running back Cam Akers earlier this year after a mutual disagreement about his role. But he eventually returned, and the Rams cut Darrell Henderson Jr. Akers has rushed for 4.4 yards per carry and six touchdowns in December as he and head coach Sean McVay have […]

Tony Pollard's Status Very Much In Doubt

The status of Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard (thigh) is very much in doubt for the Thursday night game against the Tennessee Titans. Pollard is listed as questionable for the Week 17 game, but he didn't practice at all this week. The Cowboys will put Pollard through an early pre-game workout, but they will […]

Lucas Luetge Shipped To Atlanta

The Atlanta Braves acquired left-hander Lucas Luetge from the New York Yankees on Wednesday in exchange for minor-league right-hander Indigo Diaz and infielder Caleb Durbin. To make room on their 40-man roster, the Braves designated infielder Lewin Diaz for assignment. Luetge finds a new home after he was designated for assignment by the Yanks last […]

Braves Acquire Eli White From The Rangers

The Atlanta Braves acquired outfielder Eli White from the Texas Rangers on Wednesday in exchange for cash considerations. To make room for White on the 40-man roster, the Braves designated infielder Hoy Park for assignment. The Rangers found a trade partner for White after they designated him for assignment last week. The 28-year-old played in […]

Jean Segura Agrees With The Marlins

The Miami Marlins and free-agent shortstop Jean Segura agreed to a two-year, $17 million deal on Wednesday. Segura will remain in the National League East after spending the last four seasons with the Philadelphia Phillies, the last of which led to a World Series appearance in his first postseason experience. The 32-year-old veteran infielder makes […]
