New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee) didn't suit up for Thursday's practice. This marks back-to-back days that Meyers has been unable to practice due to a lingering knee issue.

Justin Herbert Throws On Thursday

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (ribs) was able to practice once again on Thursday. It was likely a limited session, but at least Herbert was able to get in some throwing. The organization is optimistic that Herbert will play against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. He's a strong QB1, assuming he's able to suit […]

Alvin Kamara Is Limited Again On Thursday

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ribs) was limited once again for Thursday's practice. The 27-year-old was limited on Wednesday and now Thursday, which should put him as questionable to play in Week 3.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are picking up right-handed reliever Daniel Hudson's (knee) $6.5 million option for the 2023 season, according to sources.

Dawson Knox Gets In Limited Practice Session

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox (foot) was able to get through a limited practice session on Thursday. This is an upgrade after Knox was unable to practice on Wednesday.

Nico Hoerner Still Sidelined

Chicago Cubs shortstop Nico Hoerner (triceps) remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. It remains to be seen if Hoerner will land on the injured list, which would likely end his 2022 season. The 25-year-old has now missed 10 straight games, so it's entirely possible he won't be able to […]

Corey Davis Has Limited Practice On Thursday

New York Jets wide receiver Corey Davis (knee) was limited during Thursday's practice. It is a bit concerning that Davis was added to the injury report this late in the week. Despite that, the Jets believe that Davis will be fine going forward. Garrett Wilson and Elijah Moore would see a boost in fantasy value, […]

Santiago Espinal Retreats To The Bench

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Santiago Espinal (side) is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Tampa Bay Rays. Espinal dealt with left side discomfort on Wednesday and was forced to leave the game early. It remains to be seen if he'll be able to return to the lineup on Friday, but fantasy managers […]

Malcolm Brown Signs With Rams

The Los Angeles Rams have signed running back Malcolm Brown to a one-year deal. The veteran back is expected to join the practice squad. This appears to be a move to add depth to the roster. In theory, the Rams should be fine as long as Darrell Henderson Jr. and Cam Akers can stay healthy. […]

Luis Robert Out Again Thursday Against Guardians

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert is out of the starting lineup for the second straight day on Thursday against the Cleveland Guardians. Robert is limping to the finish line in 2022 and has played in just seven games this month, mostly due to a hand/wrist injury. He's also suffered at the plate when he […]

Chicago Blackhawks right wing Patrick Kane is not thinking about leaving the team.

"To be honest, there hasn't been much discussion […]

Seiya Suzuki Not Expected Back This Weekend

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki, who is on the paternity list, isn't expected back for the team's four-game weekend series against the Pittsburgh Pirates since his wife has not yet delivered their baby.

Andrew Benintendi Unlikely To Return Before Playoffs

New York Yankees outfielder Andrew Benintendi (hand, wrist) said "it's pretty safe to say the regular season is out" for his return to the team. Benintendi is hoping to be part of the team's postseason roster, but he's not sure yet when he'll resume swinging a bat. The 28-year-old suffered a broken hamate bone and […]

Nicklas Backstrom Believes He Can Play This Season

Washington Capitals center Nicklas Backstrom (hip) is feeling optimistic that he can return to the ice for the 2022-23 NHL season.

"I'm going to start off by saying I'm pain-free," said […]

Joey Wendle Placed On Injured List

The Miami Marlins placed infielder Joey Wendle (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list on Thursday with left hamstring tendonitis.

Vegas Golden Knights forward Nolan Patrick is set to miss the entire upcoming NHL season with a back injury, the team announced on Thursday.

Mike Soroka Lands On Injured List In Minors

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Mike Soroka (elbow) is being placed on the injured list in the minor leagues at Triple-A Gwinnett with right elbow soreness, according to a source. The good news is that there is no structural damage in his arm, but he'll now miss the rest of the season. The 25-year-old had yet […]

Jake Muzzin Misses Start Of Training Camp

Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Jake Muzzin is dealing with discomfort in his back and will miss the start of training camp. It's been projected that he will be available early next week.

Nick Suzuki Out Of Action For A Couple Of Weeks

Montreal Canadiens center Nick Suzuki is set to miss two weeks with a lower-body injury.

Suzuki had a career […]

Brandon Marsh Out On Thursday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh (knee) is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Atlanta Braves. It shouldn't come as a big surprise after Marsh bruised his left knee attempting to make a catch at the wall on Wednesday. The Phillies are also facing tough left-hander Max Fried in Thursday's tilt, so it […]

Jose Altuve Not Playing Against Orioles

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (elbow) is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Baltimore Orioles. Altuve left Wednesday's game early after he was hit by a pitch on the elbow, so he'll take a day off on Thursday. The good news is that X-rays came back negative and he expects to […]

Yandy Diaz Still Out Thursday

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Yandy Diaz (shoulder) remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday against the Toronto Blue Jays. According to the Tampa Bay Times' Marc Topkin, Diaz recently received a cortisone shot.

Gabriel Landeskog Will Miss The Start Of The Season

Colorado Avalanche forward Gabriel Landeskog won't be available at the start of the season because of an unspecified injury.
