Dolphins Not Ready To Label Raheem Mostert As Lead Back

Miami Dolphins offensive coordinator Frank Smith isn't ready to label running back Raheem Mostert as the team's lead back despite his recent success on the ground. "We're fortunate to have two backs. Raheem is playing some really good football," but Smith noted Chase Edmonds will get his opportunities. Mostert looked exactly like the lead back […]

Russell Gage Returns To Practice Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Russell Gage (ankle) returned to the practice field on Thursday after being listed as a non-participant on Wednesday. Gage has mostly dealt with a hamstring issue this year, so the ankle injury is a new one. However, the fact that he's back at practice is a good sign that the […]

Julio Jones Missing Another Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Julio Jones (knee) was not practicing on Thursday in the portion open to the media. It's Jones' second straight missed practice this week, so it's looking unlikely that he'll play in Week 6 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. If he doesn't play this weekend, he'll have sat out four of the […]

Teddy Bridgewater To Be Limited Thursday

Miami Dolphins quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) will be on the practice field on Thursday on a limited, non-contact basis, according to a source.

New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith (ankle) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday.

He's taken a clear back seat […]

Jakobi Meyers, Nelson Agholor Limited Wednesday

New England Patriots wide receivers Jakobi Meyers (knee) and Nelson Agholor (hamstring) were both limited in Wednesday's practice.

Matt Prater Starts Off The Week With A DNP

Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater (hip) was listed as a non-participant in practice on Wednesday.

The Cardinals […]

James Conner Unable To Practice Wednesday

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (ribs) was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice. Conner left the Week 5 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles and is considered day-to-day, but a DNP to start the week isn't a great sign for his availability in Week 6 against the Seattle Seahawks. Darrel Williams (knee) has already […]

Keenan Allen Does Individual Drills Wednesday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) took part in individual drills in practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Brandon Staley.
