Jrue Holiday Leaves Opener And Will Not Return

Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday (heel) will not return Tuesday against the Brooklyn Nets. Holiday suffered a right heel contusion in the first half which forced him out of the contest.

Brandon Zylstra Placed On Injured Reserve

The Carolina Panthers placed wide receiver Brandon Zylstra (hamstring) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday. Zylstra has not been a very big part of Carolina's offense through six weeks, catching all eight of his targets for 139 yards and a touchdown. He will miss at least the next three games after landing on Injured Reserve. The […]

Taylor Lewan Likely To Enter Concussion Protocol

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said that "all signs" are pointing toward offensive tackle Taylor Lewan (head) entering the league's concussion protocol this week. Lewan was strapped to a stretcher and carted off the field in Monday night's win over the Buffalo Bills, so all things considered, this has to be good news. The […]

Melvin Gordon III Practices In Full Tuesday

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III (hip) was upgraded from a limited practice on Monday's estimated report to a full practice on Tuesday. Gordon has been dealing with some nagging injuries in recent weeks, but it hasn't kept him from playing on game days, and he continues to split the backfield work right down […]

Kendrick Nunn Unsure For Opener

Los Angeles Lakers guard Kendrick Nunn (ankle) is a game-time decision Tuesday against the Golden State Warriors. Nunn was questionable coming into the contest and is currently warming up with the intent to play.

Malik Monk Available Tuesday Night

Los Angeles Lakers guard Malik Monk (groin) is available to play Tuesday night against the Golden State Warriors. Monk was probable to play, but given the nature of groin injuries, it is good news he is active. The Lakers are dealing with a few injuries on the wing and Monk will likely be one of […]

Bradley Chubb's Return Isn't Just Around The Corner

Denver Broncos pass-rusher Bradley Chubb's (ankle) return isn't quite around the corner, according to head coach Vic Fangio. Chubb had a walking boot on his surgically repaired ankle on Tuesday and has been on Injured Reserve since he underwent arthroscopic surgery on his ankle on Sept. 22. Denver's defense got off to a hot start […]

Broncos Cut David Moore Tuesday

The Denver Broncos cut wide receiver David Moore on Tuesday, according to a source. The move isn't unexpected after the team added John Brown last week.

The New Orleans Saints designated wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (hamstring), linebacker Kwon Alexander (elbow) and defensive end Marcus Davenport (shoulder) for return from Injured Reserve this week.

Rhamondre Stevenson (RB, NE) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 11% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Rhamondre Stevenson flashed some excellent big-play capability and versatility in his short college career with the Oklahoma Sooners, and he is starting to show similar flashes in the fast-developing New England Patriots offense. Before week five he had only been active for one […]

Collin Sexton Not Listed On Injury Report

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Collin Sexton (shoulder) should be good to go Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Sexton tweaked his shoulder at some point during preseason, but it appears to be a minor injury and does not carry an injury designation heading into the opener. Sexton is coming off a career-year, but the trade rumors are […]

Chris Boucher Officially Questionable Wednesday

Toronto Raptors forward/center Chris Boucher (finger) is questionable to play Wednesday against the Washington Wizards. Boucher underwent surgery on a dislocated finger a couple weeks ago, but was able to practice Tuesday. The Raptors may not decide to push Boucher to play if he's not ready, but we should know more closer to tip-off. If […]

Nerlens Noel Doubtful Against Celtics

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel (knee) is doubtful to play against the Boston Celtics Wednesday. Noel had knee problems last year and is dealing with some soreness already. With Mitchell Robinson healthy and apparently in great shape, Noel is more of a defensive stats specialist at best when healthy. With Noel likely sitting this […]

Jeremy Lamb, Justin Holiday Questionable Wednesday

Indiana Pacers guard/forwards Jeremy Lamb (wrist) and Justin Holiday (ankle) are both questionable to play Wednesday against the Charlotte Hornets. The Pacers will already be without Caris LeVert (back) and T.J. Warren (foot) so if Lamb and/or Holiday can't go, they may be slim on the wing. If either are unable to play, T.J. McConnell […]

Nicolas Claxton Starting In Opener

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton is listed as the starting center Tuesday night against the Milwaukee Bucks. This is Claxton's second-career start and, despite the log jam of big men in Brooklyn, seems to be the only true center on the roster. Claxton was a per-minute star last season and should only get better now […]

Dylan Larkin Returns From Suspension

Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin will be back in the lineup on Tuesday against Columbus after serving a one-game suspension. He's also missed some practice time during his layoff but is good to go. Larkin made a scoring start to the season in last Thursday's 7-6 overtime loss to the Lightning. He had three […]

Jaylen Brown Could Play Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's season opener against the New York Knicks. Brown tested positive for COVID-19 last week but was asymptomatic and is traveling with the team to New York. Brown's availability will likely come down to whether or not he feels in game shape. If Brown is […]

Al Horford Will Not Play In Season Opener

Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford has been ruled out for Wednesday's opener against the New York Knicks. Horford's homecoming tour will be delayed after the veteran center tested positive for COVID-19 and is in quarantine. It is unclear if Horford is showing any symptoms, but for now it's safe to assume his chances of playing opening […]

The former Senator carries […]

Nathan MacKinnon Cleared To Play On Tuesday

Colorado Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon has come off the COVID-19 protocols list and will play on Tuesday against Washington. The 26-year-old superstar makes a pretty unexpected return, as the team headed out on a three-game road trip without him on Sunday and the chances of MacKinnon featuring on Tuesday looked very slim. With MacKinnon back, […]

Brock Boeser Ready For Season Debut On Tuesday

Vancouver Canucks right wing Brock Boeser (undisclosed) has been activated from Injured Reserve and is set to make his season debut on Tuesday versus Buffalo.

Odell Beckham Jr. Misses Another Practice

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (shoulder) missed another practice on Tuesday. His DNP designation on Monday came on the estimated practice report, but he actually missed practice on Tuesday.

Martin Jones To Make Flyers Debut On Wednesday

Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Martin Jones will make his season debut in between the pipes when the Boston Bruins come to town on Wednesday. The 31-year-old, who signed a one-year, $2 million contract with the Flyers over the offseason, is looking to right the ship on a career that has taken a bit of downward turn […]
