Richard Sherman Placed On Injured Reserve

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers placed cornerback Richard Sherman (calf) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday, meaning that he will have to miss at least the next three games.

Limited Practice For Josh Jacobs On Wednesday

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (knee) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Fellow running back Jalen Richard (ribs) was held out of practice. Jacobs had only seven carries -- his second-fewest of the season -- for 16 yards in the Week 10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. However, […]

Kevin Porter Jr. Will Miss Wednesday’s Game

Houston Rockets point guard Kevin Porter Jr. (thigh) has been deemed unavailable for Wednesday's contest against the Thunder due to a thigh injury. Veteran Eric Gordon will shift into the starting five in Porter's place, placing the primary ballhandling onus on rookie Jalen Green, who will see elevated DFS appeal alongside Gordon. With Wednesday's absence […]

Jeremy McNichols Dealing With Concussion

Tennessee Titans running back Jeremy McNichols is in the league's concussion protocol and didn't practice on Wednesday. McNichols will need to pass through the league's protocols this week in order to suit up on Sunday against the Houston Texans. The 25-year-old was third on the team in backfield touches (five) behind D'Onta Foreman's 13 and […]

Minnesota Clears Naz Reid To Play In Wednesday’s Game

Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid (foot) has been given the green light to take the floor for Wednesday's contest against Sacramento. Reid rejoins the T-Wolves' second unit after a one-game absence, although his return isn't likely to affect Karl-Anthony Towns or Jarred Vanderbilt's DFS appeal significantly. Known for his instant scoring punch, the only thing […]

Tony Jones Jr. Returns To Practice

New Orleans Saints running back Tony Jones Jr. (ankle) was designated to return from Injured Reserve on Wednesday, which opened his 21-day practice window. The Saints backfield is getting healthier. More importantly, Alvin Kamara (knee) returned to the practice field as well after missing the Week 10 loss to the Tennessee Titans. In four games […]

Cole Beasley Continues To Be Monitored

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley (ribs) missed practice on Wednesday while he continues to deal with a painful rib injury that limited him to a season-low nine total offensive snaps in the easy win over the New York Jets in Week 10. Before that in Week 9, the veteran slot man barely saw the […]

Josh Okogie Ruled Out For Wednesday’s Contest

Minnesota Timberwolves small forward Josh Okogie (back) will miss Wednesday's game against the Kings due to back spasms. After opening the year among the starting five, Okogie has shifted into a sparsely used bench role, averaging just 13.4 minutes per game over his last five contests. Known primarily for his defensive acumen, the 23-year-old's offensive […]

Darnell Mooney, Damien Williams Limited Wednesday

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney (foot) and running back Damien Williams (knee) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. It's not great to see Mooney still dealing with an injury coming out of the team's bye, but unless he has a setback later this week, he should be good to play on Sunday against […]

Grant Williams Returns To Starting Five Wednesday

Boston Celtics power forward Grant Williams has been elevated back into the starting lineup for Wednesday's contest against Atlanta after a one-game stint coming off the bench. Head coach Ime Udoka has tinkered with the team's rotation with Jaylen Brown (leg), and now Robert Williams III (knee), unavailable. Irrespective of his duties, Williams enters Wednesday […]

Allen Robinson II Misses Practice With Hamstring Injury

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson (hamstring) wasn't able to practice on Wednesday. It's a curious injury since the team is returning from their bye, so it's certainly something to watch in the coming days as the team continues its preparations for a Week 11 game against the Baltimore Ravens. The 28-year-old has had a […]

Tyler Herro, Dewayne Dedmon Draw Starts Wednesday

Miami Heat point/shooting guard Tyler Herro and center Dewayne Dedmon have been elevated to the starting five for Wednesday's contest against the Pelicans. With Kyle Lowry (rest) and Bam Adebayo (knee) unavailable, the aforementioned duo will draw rare starts and thereby see their respective DFS values elevated. It's been a breakout first month of the […]

Antonio Gibson Still On The Injury Report

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson (shin) remains on the injury report for Week 11 and was limited in practice on Wednesday with a hairline fracture in his shin that he's been dealing with for most of the season. But the good news is that he played 63% (his second-highest percentage) of the offensive […]

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zack Wheeler finished second in the voting for the National League Cy Young Award. The Milwaukee Brewers' Corbin Burnes was announced as the winner on Wednesday.

Terry McLaurin Dealing With Shoulder Issue

Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin (shoulder) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday with a new shoulder injury. The fact that he was able to practice all, though, suggests it shouldn't keep him from playing this weekend against the Carolina Panthers. The 26-year-old injured his collarbone early in the Week 10 […]

Christian McCaffrey Absent From The Injury Report

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey was not on the team's Week 11 injury report and was able to get in a full practice on Wednesday. Yeah, we had to do a double take, too. It looked like his troublesome hamstring was giving him issues in the Week 10 win over the Arizona Cardinals, but […]

Corbin Burnes Wins NL Cy Young

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Corbin Burnes was announced as the winner of the National League Cy Young Award on Wednesday. He received 12 first-place votes, the same as Zack Wheeler, who finished second. However, Burnes got five more second-place votes than Wheeler, which helped the Milwaukee starter finish with more overall points in the voting. […]

Chris Duarte Remains Unavailable For Wednesday

Indiana Pacers shooting guard Chris Duarte (shoulder) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against Detroit due to a right shoulder ailment. Justin Holiday was bumped into the starting five in place of Duarte on Monday and logged 31 minutes, giving him some DFS appeal, even as Kelan Martin will draw starting duties Wednesday. Duarte, […]

Colts Sticking With Michael Badgley

The Indianapolis Colts will stick with kicker Michael Badgley for now and will keep Rodrigo Blankenship (hip) on Injured Reserve while he continues to build strength in his hip. Head coach Frank Reich said that Blankenship is able to kick, but with Badgley performing admirably in his absence, the Colts won't shake things up just […]

Kevin Love Will Return For Wednesday’s Contest

Cleveland Cavaliers power forward/center Kevin Love has been cleared to suit up for Wednesday's game against the Nets. Despite widespread injury concerns among the team's frontcourt, Love will come off the bench in his first game back and will face a minutes restriction. With Evan Mobley (elbow) and Jarrett Allen (illness) unavailable, Ed Davis will […]

Donovan Peoples-Jones Injured In Practice

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones (groin) came up gimpy in practice on Wednesday and was listed as a limited participant on the final report. He was running a route when he started limping. We probably won't know until Thursday whether this is an injury serious enough to keep Peoples-Jones from suiting up in Week […]

Gerrit Cole Finishes Second In AL Cy Young Voting

New York Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole finished second in the voting for the American League Cy Young Award that was announced on Wednesday.

In 157 innings, the right-hander […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic, Kevin Huerter Cleared To Play Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks point/shooting guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) and shooting guard/small forward Kevin Huerter (hamstring) have been given the thumbs up to take the floor for Wednesday's game against the Celtics. Atlanta will continue to have its full allotment of weapons on the wing with Bogdanovic and Huerter active, although the Serbian remains the more appealing […]

Jarvis Landry, Anthony Schwartz Miss Practice

Cleveland Browns wide receivers Jarvis Landry (knee) and Anthony Schwartz (concussion) did not take part in practice on Wednesday. Landry continues to be rested early in the week, but as long as he returns to practice on Thursday or Friday, he should be fine to play on Sunday against the winless Detroit Lions. The 28-year-old […]

Baker Mayfield Plans To Play Sunday

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield (knee, foot, shoulder) plans to play in Week 11 against the winless Detroit Lions despite being "probably the most beat up" he's ever been. He's dealing with a torn labrum and broken bone in his left shoulder, a sore left foot and a bruised right knee. Mayfield suffered the knee […]

Brandon Belt Reportedly Accepts Qualifying Offer

According to The New York Post's Joel Sherman, first baseman Brandon Belt is reportedly accepting the one-year qualifying offer. The veteran will stay with the San Francisco Giants after hitting a career-high 29 home runs in just 381 plate appearances last season. Belt also added three stolen bases while batting .274 with a .378 on-base […]

Marquise Brown Not On The Practice Field Wednesday

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown (thigh) was listed as a non-practice participant on Wednesday. It's unclear when Brown suffered the injury or whether it's serious enough to keep him from playing in Week 11 against the Chicago Bears, but his practice status the rest of the week should be monitored closely. The 24-year-old has […]
