Enes Freedom Enters COVID-19 Protocols

Boston Celtics center Enes Freedom has become the latest member of his squad to be placed in the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols.

Alex Collins Limited Again Thursday

Seattle Seahawks running back Alex Collins (abdomen) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday.

Justin Fields Downgraded On Thursday

Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Justin Fields (ankle) missed practice on Thursday after he was a limited participant on Wednesday.
