Chris Olave Puts In A Limited Practice

New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Chris Olave (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Olave was unable to practice all of last week and was held out of the Week 16 win over the Cleveland Browns. The fact that the 22-year-old first-round is already back at practice early this week is […]

Alvin Kamara Sits Out Wednesday's Practice

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (quadriceps, personal) did not take part in Wednesday's practice. Kamara's injury isn't believed to be serious, so it's likely that he's just getting a personal rest day to begin the practice week. If he's able to return to practice on Thursday or Friday, he'll likely suit up in […]

No Practice For Jalen Hurts Wednesday

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (shoulder) missed the team's walkthrough practice on Wednesday. Hurts sprained his right shoulder in Week 15 and was held out of the Week 16 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. The Eagles still have not locked up the No. 1 seed in the NFC, but Hurts could easily miss his second […]

Lamar Jackson Misses 10th Straight Practice

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) missed his 10th straight practice on Wednesday. As of right now, it looks like backup Tyler Huntley will make another start this weekend against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night.

Mets Designate William Woods For Assignment

The New York Mets designated right-hander William Woods for assignment on Tuesday to make room on the 40-man roster for the recently signed Adam Ottavino.

Rangers DFA Nick Mears

The Texas Rangers designated right-hander Nick Mears for assignment on Tuesday to make room on the 40-man roster for the recently signed Nathan Eovaldi. Mears was just claimed off waivers by the Rangers a week ago, so he may not last long with the organization this offseason. The 26-year-old tossed just two innings for the […]

Ryan O'Hearn Designated For Assignment

The Kansas City Royals designated infielder Ryan O'Hearn for assignment on Wednesday to make room on the 40-man roster for right-hander Jordan Lyles, who recently signed a two-year deal with the club.

Jalen Hurts Unlikely To Play In Week 17?

ESPN.com's Dan Graziano doesn't think the Philadelphia Eagles gave any real consideration to let quarterback Jalen Hurts (shoulder) play in Week 16 against the Dallas Cowboys, and Graziano would be surprised if Hurts plays in Week 17 against the New Orleans Saints. The real decision could end up being whether to let him play in […]

Ryan Jensen Designated To Return From Injured Reserve

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers officially designated center Ryan Jensen (knee) to return from Injured Reserve on Wednesday, opening his 21-day practice window. His return won't be immediate, but it's a good sign for Tampa's offensive line nonetheless. Jensen suffered a serious knee injury in training camp during the summer and hasn't played at all in […]

After consulting with numerous experts, including Dr. William Meyers in Philadelphia, Philadelphia Eagles Pro Bowl right tackle Lane Johnson (groin) will put off surgery on his torn adductor muscle and will rehab for two or three weeks and will attempt to play in the postseason, according to sources. The recovery time for surgery is 10 […]

Jaguars Won't Rest Players In Week 18

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said he won't rest players in Week 18 against the Tennessee Titans next week unless they are injured. "There is never a meaningless game. Never, ever, ever," Pederson said. This could very well be a mute point, as the final regular season game against the Titans could decide who […]

Doctors have confirmed that Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (head) suffered a concussion in the Christmas Day loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.

Nick Chubb Plans To Play In Final Two Games

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb (foot) said he'll be playing in the final two games of the regular season and said there was no consideration otherwise.

The Atlanta Braves signed catcher Sean Murphy to a six-year, $76 million contract extension on Tuesday. The deal includes a $15 million team option for the 2029 season.

Tua Tagovailoa Showed No Symptoms Of A Concussion

NFL chief medical officer Dr. Allen Sills said on Tuesday that Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (head) showed zero injury behaviors and reported zero symptoms "that would have triggered the (league's concussion) protocol" during the Week 16 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. However, head coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that Tagovailoa had […]

Tony Pollard Picks Up Another DNP

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard (thigh) was listed as a non-participant at practice on Tuesday for the second straight day.

The Cincinnati Reds signed free-agent catcher Austin Romine and right-hander Alan Busenitz to minor-league deals on Tuesday that include invitations to major-league spring training.

Royce Lewis Not Expected Back Until June/July

Minnesota Twins shortstop prospect Royce Lewis (knee) tore the ACL in his right knee for a second time this past May. The first overall pick of the 2017 draft lost the 2020 campaign because of the COVID pandemic, missed all of 2021 with a torn ACL and then tore his ACL again last season. He's […]

Broncos Believe Russell Wilson Is Fixable

Denver Broncos owner and CEO Greg Penner said on Tuesday that he has faith that general manager George Paton and quarterback Russell Wilson can turn things around after a miserable 2022 season. Wilson's lucrative long-term deal makes moving on from him next year prohibitive -- cutting him after June 1 would carry a $39 million […]

Nick Foles To Remain The Starter

Indianapolis Colts interim head coach Jeff Saturday said that quarterback Nick Foles will remain the starter under center for the Week 17 game against the New York Giants.

Broncos Defense Embarrassed By Rams On Christmas

The Denver Broncos defense was a popular streaming option in Week 16 against the Baker Mayfield-led Los Angeles Rams offense, but that strategy backfired in a big way on Christmas Day on Sunday. The Broncos defense allowed a whopping 51 points to the Rams and put up negative fantasy points on the day. They failed […]

Brandon McManus Makes Two Field Goals In Week 16

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus, as expected, wasn't much of a force for fantasy managers in the Week 16 blowout loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Christmas Day on Sunday. In the 51-14 loss, the 31-year-old didn't attempt an extra point. McManus has now made 76.5 percent of his 34 field-goal attempts on the […]

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton returned from a two-game absence in the 51-14 blowout loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Christmas Day on Sunday to post five catches on seven targets for 64 yards.
