Dyami Brown Does Not Practice Wednesday

Washington Commanders wide receiver Dyami Brown (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday ahead of the regular-season finale against Dallas. The fourth-year receiver doesn't have a top-25 finish in PPR formats this year, but has an enticing matchup against a bad Dallas pass defense. Washington has committed to playing its starters, but certainly will be thinking […]

No Wednesday Practice For Terry McLaurin

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin (ankle, rest) did not practice on Wednesday prior to the regular-season finale against the Dallas Cowboys.

Gabe Vincent Iffy To Face Trail Blazers

Los Angeles Lakers guard Gabe Vincent (oblique) is regarded as questionable for Thursday's game against Portland. He might be out for a second straight contest due to a left oblique strain.

Dalano Banton Considered Questionable Thursday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Dalano Banton (hip) has been listed as questionable on the injury report ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Lakers. He missed almost the entire second half of December, playing in only one of the last six games. Now, Banton might also have to sit out the first game in January. With […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Has Limited Practice

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (chest) logged a limited practiced on Wednesday ahead of the Week 18 game against Tampa Bay.

Juwan Johnson Limited On Wednesday

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson (knee) practiced in a limited capacity on Wednesday prior to the Week 18 finale against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Alex Caruso Sits Out Thursday's Action

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Alex Caruso (hip) will remain out for Thursday's tilt against the Clippers. His absence stretches to five games as Caruso battles a left hip strain. Ajay Mitchell will likely continue to have an expanded role on Thursday. He has played well at times during Caruso's absence but disappointed on Tuesday against […]

No Practice For Saints' Kendre Miller

New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday prior to the Week 18 finale against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. If Miller can't clear concussion protocol by Sunday, newly acquired back Clyde Edwards-Helaire seems likely to lead the backfield again, though he drew only five carries last week against Las Vegas. […]

Nick Bosa Does Not Practice Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa (knee) did not practice on Wednesday ahead of Week 18's regular-season finale against the Arizona Cardinals.

Gary Payton II Misses Fourth Straight Game

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Gary Payton II (calf) will not play against Philadelphia on Thursday, missing his fourth consecutive contest.
