Mason Tipton Leaves Practice Early With Hamstring Injury

New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Mason Tipton (hamstring) left Wednesday's practice early with a hamstring injury.

Tipton has been a standout at camp thus far and is making his case for a […]

Hendon Hooker Heads To Locker Room

Detroit Lions quarterback Hendon Hooker  (undisclosed) was removed from Thursday night's game against the New York Giants to be evaluated in the locker room.

Jordan Mason Making Waves At 49ers Camp

San Francisco 49ers running back Jordan Mason is making the most of his opportunities in camp in the absence of superstar running back Christian McCaffrey (calf). San Francisco is hurting right now with Elijah Mitchell (hamstring) and rookie Isaac Guerendo (hamstring) also dinged up. Mason has been running with the first team recently, and while […]

Jerry Jones: No Urgency To Get Deal Done With CeeDee Lamb

When asked about contract talks regarding star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb on Thursday, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he doesn't "have any urgency to get it done." This standoffish stance paints a drastically different picture than Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones did just two weeks back when he said a new offer had […]

Drew Lock Injured In Preseason Opener

New York Giants quarterback Drew Lock (hip) suffered a hip injury in Thursday night's preseason opener against the Detroit Lions and is considered questionable to return. Given that this is a preseason contest, we highly doubt that Lock will return to this game. The 27-year-old made the start for the G-Men with the Giants sitting […]

Ladd McConkey Back At Practice On Thursday

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Ladd McConkey (lower body) returned to training camp practice on Thursday and was seen in a helmet and in uniform.

Sam Darnold To Start In Preseason Opener

Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said that the team will play the majority of their players in the preseason opener on Saturday against the Las Vegas Raiders. Quarterback Sam Darnold will start under center, and then rookie first-rounder J.J. McCarthy will get "a significant amount of work." Jaren Hall will come in after McCarthy. […]

Geno Smith Not Expected To Play In Preseason Opener

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith is not expected to play in Saturday's preseason opener against the Los Angeles Chargers, according to head coach Mike Macdonald.

Houston Texans wide receiver Noah Brown (shoulder) is nearing a return to the practice field. Brown has been out of practice since suffering a shoulder strain last week. It's uncertain if it's related to the same shoulder he injured during the Wild Card game in January. Regardless, Brown shouldn't be sidelined for much longer. He'll […]

Justin Jefferson Unlikely To Play In Preseason Opener

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson is unlikely to suit up for Saturday's preseason opener, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell. This doesn't appear to be health related as Jefferson seems to be fine heading into the preseason. The Vikings simply don't want to risk an injury in an exhibition game. Sam Darnold is slated […]

Kyle Trask To Start In Preseason Opener

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Kyle Trask has been named the starter for Saturday's preseason opener against the Cincinnati Bengals. Head coach Todd Bowles mentioned that a majority of the starters including Baker Mayfield will be resting in the opener.

MarShawn Lloyd vs. Jaylen Wright – Who Should I Draft In 2024 Fantasy Football?

The 2024 NFL Draft class didn’t have any superstar running back prospects. While the draft class lacked a Bijan Robinson or Jahmyr Gibbs-like prospect, there were several talented mid-round running backs. MarShawn Lloyd and Jaylen Wright were two of those draft picks in 2024. Lloyd was a third-round pick by the Green Bay Packers. Meanwhile, […]

Rondale Moore Suffers Season-Ending Knee Injury

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Rondale Moore (knee), who was carted off from training camp practice on Wednesday, suffered a season-ending knee injury.

Malik Nabers vs. Cooper Kupp – Who Should I Draft In 2024 Fantasy Football?

Fantasy football players should use one of their first two draft picks on a wide receiver, as there are several elite options this year. However, the depth at the wide receiver position has never been deeper. While the mid-round wide receivers lack the upside to finish as a top-5 option, fantasy players can find several […]

Ladd McConkey vs. Keon Coleman – Who Should I Draft In 2024 Fantasy Football?

The 2024 NFL Draft had three elite wide receiver prospects drafted in the top 10 picks – Marvin Harrison Jr., Malik Nabers, and Rome Odunze.

Greg Joseph Has Leg Up In Kicking Competition?

Green Bay Packers kickers Greg Joseph and Anders Carlson are in a competition for the starting job in 2024 after the team cut rookie James Turner last week.
