Jason Pierre-Paul Uncertain For Week 2

Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul (knee) has a brace on his right knee on Wednesday and said he's unsure if he will play in Week 2 against the Eagles. "My knee is jacked up. Banged up. Ask me if I can play Sunday, I don't know," Pierre-Paul said. With cornerback Vernon Hargreaves (shoulder) […]

Cameron Meredith Is Healthy

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton said wide receiver Cameron Meredith is healthy, and his healthy scratch in Week 1 against the Buccaneers was about Meredith missing repetitions in training camp and needing to get the timing down in the offense. Meredith may still need more work in the offense, so don't be surprised […]

Kenny Stills Becoming Consistent Receiving Option

The Miami Dolphins have faith that wide receiver Kenny Stills can become a complete No. 1 option for the offense in the passing game. “We know he’s a vertical threat. He showed that again, that he’s still able to do that,” head coach Adam Gase said. “There’s [going to be] more underneath and there’s [going […]

Devonta Freeman Sits Out Wednesday

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (knee) did not practice on Wednesday as he deals with a sore knee. Freeman's injury isn't expected to keep him out this weekend against the Panthers, but it's fair to wonder if he'll be limited if he does play. His practice participation the rest of the week will give […]

Daryl Williams Can't Avoid Injured Reserve

The Carolina Panthers placed right tackle Daryl Williams (knee) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday. He's expected to have surgery after injuring his right knee in the season opener against Dallas. Williams also tore his MCL and dislocated his patella on the same knee in the preseason. With Matt Kalil also hurt, this is bad news […]

Vernon Hargreaves Going On IR

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are placing cornerback Vernon Hargreaves (shoulder) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Hargreaves is dealing with a serious shoulder injury and may not return this year. That's really bad news for a Bucs secondary that is also missing Brent Grimes. The Saints and quarterback Drew Brees […]

Olivier Vernon Expected To Practice This Week

New York Giants defensive end Olivier Vernon (ankle) will practice this week and there is hope that he can return soon, according to head coach Pat Shurmur. Vernon was out in Week 1 while dealing with a high ankle sprain and will probably be questionable, at best, for Week 2 against the Cowboys. Having Vernon […]

Ben Roethlisberger Says He's Fine

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (elbow) said his elbow is just bruised and that he will be fine for Week 2 against the Chiefs. He would neither confirm nor deny that he underwent an MRI exam but said he plans on playing this weekend. Big Ben is as tough as they come, so we doubt […]

Leonard Fournette Not Practicing Wednesday

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) is not expected to practice on Wednesday due to his minor hamstring strain, according to head coach Doug Marrone. Fournette had 14 carries for 41 yards and caught three passes for 14 yards before leaving in the first half in Week 1 against the Giants. As a result, […]

Kenneth Dixon Expected To Miss Several Weeks

Baltimore Ravens running back Kenneth Dixon (knee) is expected to miss several weeks with his knee injury, according to a source that told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Dixon had a game-high 44 rushing yards and a touchdown in Week 1 against the Bills before leaving with his injury. He has missed 20 of a potential […]

Aaron Rodgers To Work With Rehabbing Players

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy told reporters that quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) will work with other rehabbing players on Wednesday at practice. McCarthy emphasized that Rodgers hasn't had a setback and he remains day-to-day. McCarthy still won't say one way or another if Rodgers will suit up this week, but we'd be pretty […]

Anthony Castonzo is a "Full Go" for Practice

Indianapolis Colts offensive lineman Anthony Castonzo (hamstring) is reportedly a "full go" for practice on Wednesday and "absolutely" expects to suit up when the team takes on the Washington Redskins in Week 2. While the Colts offensive line showed well in pass protection against the Cincinnati Bengals last week, run blocking was a clear problem […]

Alshon Jeffery Participating in Individual Drills

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) will participate in individual drills on Wednesday. Jeffery seems on track for a "limited" practice, which is certainly much better than the DNP he's been listed as up until now. It's nearly a certainty that he won't play in Week 2, but perhaps if everything goes right he […]

Nick Foles Officially Named the Starter for Week 2

The Philadelphia Eagles officially named quarterback Nick Foles as the starter for Week 2 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It's football's least shocking news item, as Carson Wentz (knee) still hasn't been fully cleared for contact. Foles wasn't great in Week 1, throwing for just 117 yards, but he managed to lead the Eagles to […]

Matthew Stafford "Good To Go" in Week 2

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford has no worries about his health status entering the Week 2 road matchup with the 49ers. Stafford was forced to leave the game for one play, in the third quarter, on Monday night after having the wind knocked out of him by two Jets defenders on a pass attempt. During […]

Josh Allen Will Reportedly Start In Week 2

Chris Mortensen is reporting that Buffalo Bills rookie quarterback Josh Allen will start the Bills Week 2 matchup with the Chargers. Allen completed just six of his 15 attempts for 74 yards in Week 1. However, his output was an improvement over the unsightly numbers that were registered by Nathan Peterman, before Peterman was replaced with […]

James Conner Primed For Another Huge Workload

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner turned in an excellent game against the Cleveland Browns in Week 1, finishing with 192 total yards and two touchdowns. With Le'Veon Bell still away from the team, Conner handled all of the running back touches in the game. Bell isn't expected to return for Week 2, which sets […]

Ben Roethlisberger Draws Excellent Week 2 Matchup

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is coming off a disappointing Week 1 performance against the Cleveland Browns. Roethlisberger committed five turnovers in the game, which ended in a 21-21 tie. Look for the veteran quarterback to bounce back in Week 2 when the Steelers welcome the Kansas City Chiefs to Pittsburgh. Kansas City's pass defense […]

Josh Gordon A WR3 In Week 2

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon wound up catching just one pass for a 17-yard touchdown in Week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Gordon saw just three targets in the game as quarterback Tyrod Taylor looked toward Jarvis Landry often on a rainy, slippery day. The Browns are now listing Gordon as a starter and […]

David Njoku Looks To Improve In Week 2

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku turned in a disappointing Week 1 performance against the Pittsburgh Steelers, catching just three passes and struggling with drops in the game. The second-year tight end also tweaked his ankle during the game but was able to return to the field. He will look to bounce back in Week […]

Jarvis Landry A Fantastic Option In Week 2

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry saw a whopping 15 targets come his way during his team's Week 1 tie with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Look for Landry to continue to lead his team in targets in Week 2 when they travel to New Orleans to take on the Saints. While Landry saw his normal allotment […]

Duke Johnson A Flex Option In Week 2

Cleveland Browns running back Duke Johnson finished third on his team with six targets in Week 1. Unfortunately, he was only able to catch one of those targets for eight yards in the contest as quarterback Tyrod Taylor struggled with his accuracy. Johnson has a good chance to bounce back in Week 2 as the […]

Carlos Hyde Looks To Find End Zone Again in Week 2

Cleveland Browns running back Carlos Hyde found the end zone in Week 1, although he only gained 62 yards on 22 carries in the contest. The veteran running back will look to improve upon his efficiency when he travels to New Orleans to take on the Saints in Week 2. Hyde should benefit from playing […]

Nick Chubb Will Hope For More Work In Week 2

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb saw just three touches in his NFL debut in Week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Chubb looked good in his limited work, ripping off a 17-yard run and finishing with 21 yards. For now, Chubb has been operating strictly as the backup to starting running back Carlos Hyde. While […]

Tyrod Taylor Draws Excellent Week 2 Matchup

Cleveland Browns quarterback Tyrod Taylor struggled with his accuracy in Week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, completing just 15 of his 40 pass attempts. Despite the poor showing, the veteran quarterback is a prime candidate to bounce back in Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints. While it rained consistently during the entire game in […]

Still No Sign Of Le'Veon Bell On Wednesday

Pittsburgh Steelers game meetings are set to begin at 9:00 AM EST on Wednesday and running back Le'Veon Bell is reportedly not in attendance. Bell, who has not reported to the Steelers after being franchised tagged in the offseason, appears likely to carry his holdout over at least through Week 2. With Bell out of […]

Dallas Goedert Is Still Learning

Philadelphia Eagles rookie tight end Dallas Goedert had a "pretty good" debut versus the Atlanta Falcons, according to head coach Doug Pederson. However, there were some learning opportunities. The big 6-foot-5 South Dakota State product, who finished with one reception for four yards, had a chance to make a bigger impact. He almost scored on […]

Austin Hooper Remains a Red-Zone Threat

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper will be hoping to convert on one of his red-zone targets in Week 2. In the season opener, Hooper officially saw two targets in the red zone, catching one of them. Hooper really should have drawn a penalty for an accidental defensive pass interference that prevented him from having […]

Julio Jones Looking To Stay Hot In Week 2

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones will be hoping to stay hot in Week 2 against the Carolina Panthers. Jones is coming off a monster game against the Philadelphia Eagles last Thursday, in which he racked up 169 receiving yards on 10 receptions from 19 targets. Jones also has good history against the Carolina Panthers, […]

Tevin Coleman Could Star Sunday

Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman could be in line for a bulk of the workload in the Falcons second game against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. Coleman may be required to step up if Devonta Freeman is not 100% following his knee injury. Coleman saw 50% of the Falcons carries in week one but […]
