Tyquan Thornton Registers Three Catches Thursday
New England Patriots wide receiver Tyquan Thornton turned five targets into three receptions for 17 yards during Thursday's upset victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The second-year pass-catcher saw an increased role with Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle), Demario Douglas (concussion), and DeVante Parker (knee) sidelined. He was the Patriots' No. 2 wide receiver behind JuJu Smith-Schuster, who […]

Ezekiel Elliott Dominant While Earning 29 Touches
New England Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott rushed 22 times for 68 yards during Thursday's upset win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was also quite impressive in the passing game, catching seven of eight targets for 72 receiving yards and one touchdown. The veteran running back saw a drastically increased role in Week 14 with […]

D'Onta Foreman Practices In Full Again
Chicago Bears running back D'Onta Foreman (ankle) was a full participant in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Foreman tweaked his ankle in Week 11 and didn't play in Week 12 as a result. The team's Week 13 bye looks like it did Foreman some good and he's trending in the right direction […]

Hunter Henry Scores Two Touchdowns In Week 14
New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry caught all three of his targets for 40 yards and two touchdowns during Thursday's upset win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Henry benefitted from an expanded role with teammates Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle), Demario Douglas (concussion), and DeVante Parker (knee) sidelined. Week 14 was certainly Henry's best game of the […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Totals 90 Yards Against Steelers
New England Patriots wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster caught four of six targets for 90 yards during Thursday's upset win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. It was a revenge game for Smith-Schuster, who played in Pittsburgh from 2017 through 2021. He accumulated a large portion of his yardage on the opening drive with a spectacular 37-yard grab […]

Bailey Zappe Throws For Three Touchdowns In Week 14 Win
New England Patriots quarterback Bailey Zappe completed 19 of 28 passes for 240 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception during Thursday's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. He had one of the best games of his career, leading the underdog Patriots to just their third victory of 2023 (and their first since Week 7). This performance […]

Chase Brown Looks Ready To Play
Cincinnati Bengals rookie running back Chase Brown (hamstring) didn't have any limitations in practice on Thursday following a limited designation in practice a day earlier. The 23-year-old third-rounder should be able to play on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts unless he suffers a setback on Friday. Brown looked fresh and was given a season-high nine […]

Hayden Hurst, Tommy Tremble Limited Thursday
Carolina Panthers tight ends Hayden Hurst (concussion), Tommy Tremble (hip) and Stephen Sullivan (shoulder) were limited in Thursday's practice session. Hurst suffered a serious concussion in Week 10 that resulted in post-traumatic amnesia. It's nice to see him back on the practice field and his head injury isn't believed to be career-threatening, but we shouldn't […]

The Giants designated Taylor to return from Injured Reserve earlier this week, opening up a 21-day window for him to officially be activated from IR. The G-Men are going to stick with undrafted rookie Tommy Devito as […]

Rashod Bateman Feeling Better Thursday
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (illness) returned to a full practice on Thursday after he sat out with an illness on Wednesday. Coming off a bye, Bateman should now be good to go for the Week 14 contest versus the Los Angeles Rams. Even with tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) expected to miss the […]

Wander Suero Signs With Astros
Free-agent right-hander Wander Suero signed a minor-league deal with the Houston Astros on Thursday. Suero will simply give the Astros some extra relief depth entering the 2024 season. The 32-year-old veteran reliever pitched in eight innings in five appearances out of the Los Angeles Dodgers' bullpen in 2023 and allowed seven earned runs on six […]

Red Sox Involved With Shota Imanaga
The Boston Red Sox are one of many teams interested in Japanese free-agent left-hander Shota Imanaga this offseason. It's no secret that the Red Sox are in need of starting pitching heading into the 2024 campaign. They are also in on free-agent starters Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Jordan Montgomery and Seth Lugo, among others, and they could […]

Giants, Padres Interested In Harrison Bader
The San Francisco Giants and San Diego Padres have been active on center fielders this offseason, including Harrison Bader. Korean outfielder Jung-Hoo Lee is also of interest to both the Giants and the Padres, as well as plenty of other teams. The Padres just dealt outfielders Juan Soto and Trent Grisham in a blockbuster deal […]

Elijah Mitchell Misses Another Practice
San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) was unable to suit up for Thursday's practice session. His status for Week 14 is in doubt after being absent for the first two practice sessions of the week. Mitchell has been operating as the primary backup to Christian McCaffrey. If Mitchell sits, McCaffrey will likely see […]

Red Sox Not Ready To Make Masataka Yoshida A Full-Time DH
There has been speculation that the Boston Red Sox want to move outfielder Masataka Yoshida to a designated hitter role, but chief baseball officer Craig Breslow has been preaching the importance of Yoshida in the field. The team still thinks Yoshida has value as a defender in the outfield, and manager Alex Cora thinks added […]

Justin Jefferson Gets In Another Full Practice
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson (hamstring) was able to get through another full practice session on Thursday. This is now back-to-back days that Jefferson has been a full participant in practice. At the moment, all signs are pointing to Jefferson being active for the Week 14 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. His return […]

Red Sox Interested In Ha-Seong Kim?
Boston Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow said the team is currently engaged in conversations for a second baseman in free agency and the trade market, but it seems "more likely that would be a trade pursuit." Boston prefers a strong defensive second baseman, which makes Ha-Seong Kim, Whit Merrifield and Brandon Drury more […]

Alex Highsmith Downgraded To Out
Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Alex Highsmith (neck) has been downgraded to out for the rest of Thursday's game against the New England Patriots. Highsmith was originally listed as questionable after exiting during the first half of this game. Considering the injury, the Steelers have decided to take the cautious approach and hold out Highsmith for the […]

Mets, Pete Alonso Haven't Talked Extension
The New York Mets and All-Star first baseman Pete Alonso have not talked about a long-term contract extension yet this offseason, according to a source. Alonso notably hired Scott Boras as his agent back in October and he isn't scheduled to reach free agency until after the 2025 season. There wasn't much rush to talk […]

Joshua Palmer Limited On Thursday
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer (knee) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice. This marks back-to-back limited practice sessions for Palmer to begin the week. His 21-day window to return is open, so possibly Palmer gets back on the field for the Week 14 matchup against the Denver Broncos. If active, Palmer would […]

Kareem Hunt Gets In Limited Practice Session
Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt (groin) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice session. This is good news after Hunt was unable to practice at all on Wednesday. It sounds like Hunt is making progress ahead of the Week 14 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. If he sits, Jerome Ford and Pierre Strong Jr. […]

Yankees Haven't Had Extension Talks With Juan Soto
New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said that the team hasn't had any conversations with recently acquired outfielder Juan Soto about a long-term contract extension. Cashman and the Yankees understand that Soto could only be a short-term acquisition, but even so, the left-handed slugger will make the Bombers much better offensively in 2024. The […]

Tyler Boyd Gets Added To Injury Report
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd (ankle) was able to get through a limited practice session on Thursday. Boyd wasn't on the injury report on Wednesday, but appears to have injured his ankle at some point. The veteran wideout has been quiet recently with 11 receptions for 82 yards over his last three games. The […]

Dawson Knox Remains Full Participant On Thursday
Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox (wrist) was able to get through a full practice session on Thursday. This marks back-to-back days that Knox has been able to practice in full capacity. The Bills opened up their 21-day window for Knox to return on Wednesday. Given his progress, there's a chance that Knox suits up […]

Aaron Judge's Toe Injury "A Resolved Issue"
New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge's (toe) injury is "a resolved issue," according to general manager Brian Cashman. "We think it's behind him." Judge never required surgery for a torn ligament in his right big toe that he suffered when he crashed into the outfield wall at Dodgers Stadium on June 4. It was an […]

Jamal Murray Considered Probable For Friday
Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (ankle) is listed as probable ahead of Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. Murray sat out on Saturday, but was able to return and play 29 minutes during Wednesday's game. It's uncertain if head coach Mike Malone will continue to have Murray under a minutes limit. If he does, Reggie […]

LeBron James To Play On Thursday
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (calf) is active ahead of Thursday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He was listed as questionable coming in, but it appears James is good to go for this game. It's also worth noting that center Anthony Davis (hip) and forward Jarred Vanderbilt (heel) are also active for this […]

Malcolm Brogdon Questionable For Friday's Game
Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The veteran guard was forced to exit early during Wednesday's game due to right knee soreness. There's a good chance that the Blazers take the cautious approach and hold Brogdon out on Friday. Matisse Thybulle started during […]
