Jeimer Candelario Gets Scratched on Tuesday

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario (triceps) has been scratched from the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Cleveland Indians.

Max Kepler Gets the Night Off on Tuesday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Chicago White Sox.

LaMarre hasn't […]

Franmil Reyes is Scratched on Tuesday

Cleveland Indians outfielder Franmil Reyes (personal) has been scratched from the starting lineup against the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday.

Caleb Ferguson Will Serve as Opener Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Caleb Ferguson will serve as the opener for Tuesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays.

However, […]

Yannick Ngakoue Could Return For Jaguars Defense

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Yannick Ngakoue (hamstring) returned to a full practice on Tuesday after being limited on Monday. Jacksonville's best pass rusher should be able to return on Thursday against the Titans after being inactive in the Week 2 loss to the Texans. The Jaguars Defense/special teams is a low-end starting option for this […]

Lions Release C.J. Anderson, Claim Paul Perkins

The Detroit Lions released running back C.J. Anderson on Tuesday and claimed running back Paul Perkins off waivers from the Giants in a corresponding move. If anything, this is good news for Kerryon Johnson, who lost five carries to Anderson, five to rookie Ty Johnson and two to J.D. McKissic in the Week 2 win […]

Marqise Lee On Track To Play Thursday

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee (knee) was a full participant in practice on Tuesday after being limited on Monday.

Isaiah Wynn Going On Injured Reserve

The New England Patriots are placing left tackle Isaiah Wynn (toe) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday, according to a source. He'll miss at least eight weeks after getting injured in Week 2.

Buccaneers Not Worried About O.J. Howard

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians didn't seem too worried about tight end O.J. Howard after he didn't see any targets in the passing game last Thursday. "The balls will come. We don't dictate who gets the ball, the defense does, so sometimes it will spread around for different people every week," Arians said. […]

DeSean Jackson Could Miss Next Two Games

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (groin) isn't expected to play in Week 3 against the Lions, and a quick turnaround on Thursday night against the Packers in Week 4 could make it tough as well. Jackson was injured early in Week 2 on Sunday night and never returned. You should prepare to be without […]

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (thumb) has decided to undergo surgery in Los Angeles on Wednesday after having his injured hand examined by two specialists.

Antonio Brown Situation A Long Way From Being Resolved

The NFL met with New England Patriots wide receiver Antonio Brown's accuser on Monday for 10 hours in their investigation into sexual-assault allegations, according to a source.

Charlie McAvoy Inks New Deal With Bruins

Boston Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy re-upped with his draft-day team on Sunday, signing a three-year, $14.7 million contract (average annual value of $4.9 mil).

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive coordinator Todd Wash said that he expects cornerback Jalen Ramsey to play on Thursday night against the Titans.

Mason Rudolph (QB, PIT) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in two-QB leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: In a crushing blow for the Steelers, Ben Roethlisberger will undergo surgery on his right elbow and miss the rest of the season.

Marcus Mariota Will Practice In Full Tuesday

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said that quarterback Marcus Mariota (quadriceps) will practice in full on Tuesday. On a short week going up a very respectable defense, Mariota is a last-gasp QB2 in two-QB leagues on Thursday night. Tennessee's offense remains a slow-paced, run-first unit and Mariota just is way too inconsistent with the […]

Demaryius Thomas Week-To-Week

New York Jets wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (hamstring, knee) is listed as week-to-week after suffering a new injury in his Jets debut on Monday night against the Browns. Thomas caught only one pass before his injury on Monday for negative yards. It sounds like he won't be active in Week 3 against the Patriots, and […]

Dolphins Defense Continues Getting Worse

After giving up a combined 102 points in their first two games, the Miami Dolphins Defense may now somehow be even worse in Week 3 when they travel to take on the Dallas Cowboys.

Cowboys Defense Loses Xavier Woods For 4-6 Weeks

Dallas Cowboys free safety Xavier Woods (ankle) is expected to miss four to six weeks with a high ankle sprain, according to a source.

Cam Newton's Week 3 Status Up In The Air

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton's (foot) Week 3 status against the Cardinals is up in the air after he aggravated a foot injury that he initially suffered in the preseason. Newton is rehabbing during practice on Tuesday. Cam hasn't looked good through two weeks, and perhaps his foot is the main reason why. He's run […]
