Tee Higgins Looking To Replicate Week 1 Success

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins had a strong showing in Week 1, finishing the win over the Minnesota Vikings with 58 yards and a touchdown off four catches. Although his scoring output was sidetracked by a trip to the locker room for an IV, it was still a successful performance overall. Higgins should continue […]

Trey Ragas Promoted To Active Roster

Las Vegas Raiders running back Trey Ragas was promoted to the active roster on Saturday. He'll presumably fill the No. 3 role in the backfield with Josh Jacobs (toe, ankle) sidelined.

D'Andre Swift Should Be Good For Week 2

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (groin) should be good to go for the Week 2 clash against the Packers. The sophomore continues to be plagued by a nagging groin ailment.

Jamaal Williams Sheds Injury Designation

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams (chest) practiced in full on Saturday and does not carry an injury designation heading into Monday Night Football against the Packers.

Jamaal Williams Removed From Injury Report

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams (chest) is no longer an occupant on the team's official injury report.

Kalif Raymond Added To Injury Report

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond (thigh) was added to the injury report ahead of Monday night's game against the Packers. He enters Week 2 listed as questionable.

Ja’Marr Chase Ready For Week 2

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase is looking to find the end zone for the second straight week.

While […]

Dee Eskridge Downgraded To Out

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Dee Eskridge (concussion) was downgraded to out ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans.
