Josh Reynolds Misses Another Practice

Denver Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds (hand) missed his second straight practice this week on Thursday due to a hand injury. Reynolds' status for the Week 6 contest versus the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers this Sunday is firmly up in the air. He'll likely need to practice in some fashion on Friday to avoid being […]

Brandon Royval Headlines UFC Vegas 98

Brandon Royval (16-7) is set to headline UFC Vegas 98 on Saturday against Tatsuro Taira. Royval is coming off a split-decision win over Brandon Moreno back in February after losing to Alexandre Pantoja for the belt in December.

Scott Wedgewood Set To Face Former Team On Thursday

Nashville Predators goaltender Scott Wedgewood is expected to get the start against the Dallas Stars on Thursday.

Cincinnati Bengals running backs Zack Moss (foot) and Chase Brown (quadriceps) were both limited in Thursday's practice. Moss did not practice on Wednesday, while Brown is a new addition to the Week 6 injury report.

Columbus Blue Jackets forward Dmitri Voronkov (upper body) does not require surgery and is expected to be back by the end of November. Voronkov suffered an upper-body injury in a preseason game last week. The 24-year-old had 34 points (18 goals, 16 assists) in 75 games during his rookie campaign last season. Columbus kicks off […]

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that tight end Luke Musgrave (ankle) "more than likely" will land on Injured Reserve due to his ankle injury, which will sideline him for at least four games.

Adam Boqvist Out On Thursday

Florida Panthers defenseman Adam Boqvist (face) will not play against Ottawa on Thursday. The 24-year-old is forced to sit out the action after taking a puck to the face on Tuesday versus Boston. Boqvist's absence will give Nate Schmidt his Panthers debut. The 33-year-old veteran will roll on the third defensive pairing but could also […]

Tim Stutzle Will Play In Season Opener

Ottawa Senators forward Tim Stutzle (upper body) is ready to return to the lineup for Thursday's regular-season opener against Florida.

The […]

The two have previously met each other […]

Claude Giroux Ready For Action

Ottawa Senators forward Claude Giroux (personal) will play in Thursday's curtain-raiser against Florida. The veteran has missed some practice time this week due to the birth of his third son.

The Milwaukee Brewers expect right-handed reliever Abner Uribe (knee) to have a normal offseason after having knee surgery over the summer.

Brewers To Revisit Moving Sal Frelick To Third Base

Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy said the team will revisit moving outfielder Sal Frelick to third base next season. It doesn't guarantee that Frelick will play a lot at the hot corner, but the Brewers were encouraged by what started last spring and like the idea of his versatility as both an outfielder and an […]

Brewers Open To Trading Devin Williams?

Milwaukee Brewers general manager Matt Arnold hinted that the team would be open to trading closer Devin Williams as he enters the final year of club control in 2025. "We have to stay open-minded.

Wyatt Johnston Good To Go Thursday

Dallas Stars forward Wyatt Johnston (undisclosed) will play against the Nashville Predators on Thursday.

William Contreras Played Through Knee Sprain

Milwaukee Brewers catcher William Contreras (knee) was playing through a minor knee sprain during the Wild-Card Series against the New York Mets, according to general manager Matt Arnold.

Dallas Stars left wing Jason Robertson (foot) will be in the lineup against Nashville on Thursday. He's been deemed good to go for the season opener after recovering from offseason foot surgery.

Russell Wilson Participates In Full On Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson (calf) was a full participant in Thursday's practice for the second straight day, according to Nick Farabaugh of PennLive. Wilson returned to full participation during Wednesday's practice for the first time since he suffered the calf injury prior to Week 1. This is an excellent sign for the 35-year-old, as […]

Pat Freiermuth Limited On Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth (calf) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice due to a calf injury, according to Nick Farabaugh of PennLive. Freiermuth was not on Wednesday's initial injury report, so this injury is worth monitoring. However, seeing him participate in a limited fashion is a promising sign. Fantasy managers should pay […]

Chargers Defense A Solid Option In Week 6 Lineups

The Los Angeles Chargers defense is a solid option in Week 6 fantasy lineups. Before their bye week, the Bolts defensive unit ranked sixth in fantasy points per game, averaging 9.5 points. They'll be well rested in general although a few guys like Joey Bosa (hip) and Kristian Fulton (knee) are questionable at best. Facing […]

Justin Fields Expected To Start On Sunday

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Justin Fields is expected to remain the starting quarterback heading into Week 6, according to Mark Kaboly. After starting the season with three straight victories, Fields has dropped both of the past two games and could eventually be in danger of losing starting duties as Russell Wilson (calf) was a full participant […]

Joshua Palmer Tough To Trust In Week 6 Lineups

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer is not much of a fantasy option in Week 6 lineups. The Bolts new run-first and run-often offense has limited Palmer to just seven catches total in the three games he's played so far this season. He has yet to record more than three catches or put up […]
