Matthew Wright Added To Roster, Josh Lambo Likely Inactive Sunday

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Matthew Wright was elevated from the practice squad for the second consecutive week. The 25-year-old handled kicking duties last Sunday, forcing Josh Lambo to be inactive. A similar pattern could very likely be followed against the Titans this week. Wright and Lambo were reportedly in competition throughout recent practices and head coach […]

Rodney Smith Elevated From Practice Squad

Carolina Panthers running back Rodney Smith was elevated from the practice squad on Saturday. His addition to the 53-man roster suggests that Christian McCaffrey (hamstring, doubtful) will be unable to play against the Eagles on Sunday afternoon.

TJ Hockenson Questionable, Shane Zylstra Elevated From Practice Squad

Detroit Lions tight end Shane Zylstra was elevated to the 53-man roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Justin Fields Expected To Run More On Sunday

Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Justin Fields is expected to run more following running back David Montgomery's (knee) placement on injured reserve, according to Chris Emma of Audacy.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz (ankles) is expected to be active against the Titans in Week 3. He missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday but was upgraded to limited on Friday. Through two games this season, he has gone 45-for-69 with 498 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. The Colts do have contingency plans in […]

Jacoby Brissett Heading For Extended Workload

Miami Dolphins quarterback Jacoby Brissett should fill the starting job for at least three weeks after Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) was placed on injured reserve.

Evan Engram Expected To Play In Week 3

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (calf) is trending in the right direction for Week 3. The team is confident that he'll be able to suit up against the Falcons on Sunday.

Andy Dalton Could Return In Week 4

Chicago Bears quarterback Andy Dalton (knee) is not expected to be placed on injured reserve. In fact, the veteran signal-caller has a chance to return as soon as Week 4.

Brett Hundley Elevated To Active Roster

Indianapolis Colts practice squad quarterback Brett Hundley was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans. When Carson Wentz (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday, Hundley took the majority of starting reps over Jacob Eason. As of now, the Colts' quarterback situation remains very much up in the air. Wentz is […]

Houston Texans rookie quarterback Davis Mills drew praise from head coach David Culley for his performance against the Panthers on Thursday evening.

Green Bay Packers tight end Josiah Deguara (concussion) is listed as doubtful for Monday Night Football against the Lions.

Assuming Deguara is held […]

Trent Brown Ruled Out For Week 2

New England Patriots offensive tackle Trent Brown (calf) has been downgraded to out for Week 2 against the Jets. He suffered the injury against the Dolphins last week.

Laquon Treadwell Elevated To Active Roster

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Laquon Treadwell was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Sony Michel Could Remain An Afterthought

Los Angeles Rams running back Sony Michel could remain in a clear backup role for yet another week. "You have confidence that you can utilize him, if need be," explained head coach Sean McVay.

Joey Slye Rejoins Texans' Roster

Houston Texans kicker Joey Slye was promoted to the active roster again ahead of the team's Week 2 contest against the Browns. He was very impressive in Week 1, connecting on all three field-goal and all four extra-point attempts. All in all, he owns an 80.3 percent field goal rate and 90.7 percent extra point […]
