Marquez Valdes-Scantling Logs Full Practice Thursday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (chest) upgraded to a full participant in practice on Thursday. This was an improvement for the veteran receiver after he had been limited on Wednesday. Valdes-Scantling has been the epitome of a boom-or-bust player this season, demonstrating a heavy dependence on big plays. Over his last six games, […]

Juwan Johnson Remains Limited Thursday

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson (knee) was a limited participant during practice on Thursday. This was the second day in a row that he had limited involvement.

Chig Okonkwo Added To Injury Report Thursday

Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo (abdomen) was added to the injury report after logging a limited practice on Thursday. The 25-year-old was not previously known to have an injury, so his status warrants monitoring as the Titans' Week 18 contest against the Houston Texans draws closer. Okonkwo has never missed a game through nearly […]

Nick Folk Logs Limited Session Thursday

Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk (abdomen) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice. This was an improvement for the 40-year-old after being estimated as a non-participant on Wednesday. Folk kicked in each of the Titans' first 14 games this season, but he has missed the last two contests due to injury. His return to practice […]

Tyler Boyd Remains Sidelined Thursday

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Boyd (foot) did not participate in Thursday's practice.

He hasn't been inactive yet this season but could be at risk of missing Sunday's regular-season finale. The veteran […]

Xavier Legette Limited In Practice Thursday

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette (hip, wrist) was limited during practice on Thursday. The rookie had been a full participant on Wednesday, so this latest update does raise some concerns about his availability for Week 18. The 23-year-old has caught 46 passes for 467 yards and four touchdowns while operating behind Adam Thielen this […]

Drake Maye Limited As Week 18 Prep Begins

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye (right hand) was limited during Wednesday's practice.

Kayshon Boutte, Ja'Lynn Polk Absent From Practice Wednesday

New England Patriots wide receivers Kayshon Boutte (illness) and Ja'Lynn Polk (shoulder) did not participate in practice on Wednesday.

Colts Hopeful Anthony Richardson Can Play Despite Missing Practice

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson (back) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimation. The second-year quarterback noted that his back injury limited him physically last week, and there were times when he couldn't even walk or stand up. He feels better now, though, and said that he'll do everything in his power to […]

Patrick Mahomes Limited As Week 18 Prep Begins

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (ankle) was limited during practice on Wednesday. The Chiefs are expected to rest key starters, including Mahomes, in Week 18, so his appearance on the injury report isn't something worth worrying about. In his age-29 season, Mahomes threw for 3,928 yards, 26 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions while leading his […]

Tony Pollard Limited As Week 18 Prep Begins

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard (ankle) was estimated as a limited participant on Wednesday. The 27-year-old missed last week's game with a combination of his ankle injury and an illness.

Nick Folk Estimated As Non-Participant Wednesday

Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk (abdomen) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimation.

It's an unfortunate ending to what had been an otherwise solid season for […]

Titans Estimate Tyler Boyd As Non-Participant Wednesday

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Boyd (foot) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimation. Boyd has made frequent appearances on the injury report this season, but he hasn't missed a game yet.

Tyjae Spears Estimated As DNP On Wednesday

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (concussion) was estimated as a non-participant in practice on Wednesday. Head coach Brian Callahan previously said that Spears would not play in Week 18, and Wednesday's injury report reflects that sentiment.
