As expected, Indianapolis Colts rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson (concussion) is in the league's concussion protocol to begin the week on Monday, according to head coach Shane Steichen.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper (groin), who was questionable to play on Monday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers to close out Week 2 action, is active and will suit up.

Jarred Kelenic Taking A Seat Monday Versus Lefty

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic is not in the starting lineup Monday night against the Oakland A's and left-hander JP Sears. The youngster went 0-for-2 before being replaced by a pinch-hitter in Sunday's series finale and will predictably sit against same-handed pitching on Monday in Oakland. Kelenic recently returned from a broken foot sustained when […]

[…]

The Kansas City Chiefs restructured quarterback Patrick Mahomes' contract on Monday, giving him $210.6 million between this year and 2026, the most money in NFL history over a four-year span.

Michael Brantley Taking A Seat Monday

Houston Astros outfielder Michael Brantley is not in the starting lineup Monday against the Baltimore Orioles and left-hander John Means.

Jaylen Waddle In The Concussion Protocol

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (concussion) is in the league's concussion protocol after taking a hard hit to the head in Sunday night's victory over the division-rival New England Patriots.

A first-time All-Star this season, Heim has struggled mightily […]

Kendre Miller's NFL Debut Will Have To Wait

New Orleans Saints rookie running back Kendre Miller (hamstring) is inactive for the Monday night contest against the division-rival Carolina Panthers. Despite being limited in practice all week, Miller will kick off his NFL career by sitting out his first two games. It's especially disappointing for those that took a flier on him in redraft […]

DJ Chark Jr. Active On Monday Night

Carolina Panthers wide receiver DJ Chark Jr. (hamstring), who was questionable to play on Monday night against the New Orleans Saints, is active and will make his debut for the Panthers.

Joe Burrow's Availability For Week 3 Is Up In The Air

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said it was hard to say if quarterback Joe Burrow (calf) will be able to play next Monday night against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 3.

Evan Engram With Another Solid Performance In Week 2

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram finished with six receptions for 57 yards on Sunday against the Chiefs.

The former Ole Miss […]
