Danuel House Jr. Ruled Out For Friday

Houston Rockets forward Danuel House Jr. (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Orlando Magic. This will be the third game that House has missed due to injury, so he has been a frustrating player to roster in the early part of the season. David Nwaba, Eric Gordon and Sterling Brown will […]

Darius Garland Sitting Out Against Memphis

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (shoulder) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. On Wednesday, it was reported that Garland could miss a week or possibly more time. It sounds like the team plans to re-evaluate him daily and go from there. Cedi Osman, Damyean Dotson (ankle), and Collin Sexton (ankle) […]

Nerlens Noel Might Return On Friday

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel (ankle, knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Noel has been sidelined since Jan. 2 due to multiple nagging injuries. The Knicks could certainly use Noel back in the rotation, but he won't provide much fantasy value. His return would likely mean less […]

Michael Porter Jr. Remains Out Thursday

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (rest) will remain sidelined for Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He remains away from the team due to health and safety protocols. The team was hopeful that he'd suit up here, but Porter will miss at least one more game. Will Barton will be the biggest winner here […]

Andrew Whitworth To Play In Wild-Card Game

The Los Angeles Rams activated left tackle Andrew Whitworth (knee) from Injured Reserve on Thursday, and he will play in the wild-card game against the Seahawks on Saturday after recovering from a torn MCL and a damaged PCL. The 39-year-old four-time Pro Bowler could be making his final postseason push for the Rams after spending […]

Derrick Rose Able To Practice On Thursday

Detroit Pistons guard Derrick Rose (knee) was able to suit up for Thursday's practice. He injured his knee on Wednesday and was unable to finish the game. The fact Rose was able to return to practice here is good news. It's unclear whether or not Rose will suit up against the Phoenix Suns on Friday. […]

Amari Cooper Has Ankle Surgery

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper (ankle) underwent an ankle scope, according to a source. The procedure was just some postseason maintenance that will come with minimal rehab, so Cooper should be ready in plenty of time before training camp this summer. Things could've soured for the former Raider receiver when quarterback Dak Prescott (ankle) […]

Russell Westbrook Could Sit On Friday

Washington Wizards guard Russell Westbrook (finger) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. He suffered a dislocated finger during Wednesday's contest, so there's a chance he sits out the first game of the back-to-back set. Normally, Westbrook sits the first game of two anyway, so it wouldn't be shocking if the […]

Allen Robinson II Doesn't Practice Thursday

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson II (hamstring) didn't take part in practice on Thursday. Robinson was a full participant in practice on Wednesday, so the Bears are likely just giving him a breather before the wild-card playoff game against the Saints on Sunday. Receivers Darnell Mooney (ankle) and Cordarrelle Patterson (personal) also missed practice […]

Gus Edwards Still A Threat

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards still has upside on Sunday against Tennessee. While J.K. Dobbins has been the preferred option out of the backfield, especially after finding the end zone in each of his previous six outings, Edwards continues to get his touches. With the Ravens committed to getting things done on the run, […]

Stefon Diggs, Cole Beasley Questionable Against Colts

Buffalo Bills wide receivers Stefon Diggs (oblique) and Cole Beasley (knee) were both listed as questionable for the wild-card playoff game against the Colts on Saturday. Beasley took part in practice on Thursday for the first time since sitting out of the Week 17 win over the Dolphins. Diggs said he's fine and will play […]

Plenty Of Buzz Surrounds J.K. Dobbins

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins has received plenty of attention as of late. Although the rookie got off to a relatively slow start in 2020, he has picked things up by racking up at least 11 carries and a touchdown in each of his previous six contests. Although Gus Edwards and Lamar Jackson may […]

Alex Smith Officially Questionable For Wild-Card Weekend

Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith (calf) is officially listed as questionable for the wild-card playoff game against the Buccaneers on Saturday night. Smith stretched with teammates on Thursday but didn't appear to do much else, and head coach Ron Rivera said that Smith is "a little bit sore." Taylor Heinicke took the majority of […]

Browns Defense Getting Andrew Sendejo Back

The Cleveland Browns placed safety Ronnie Harrison on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday but also activated safety Andrew Sendejo from the same list. Linebacker Montrel Meander was added to the practice squad COVID-19 list. Sendejo will be a welcomed addition after recording 67 combined tackles, two passes defensed and a forced fumble in 14 games […]

Mets Still In The Market For George Springer

The New York Mets Thursday blockbuster trade for shortstop Francisco Lindor and starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco doesn't mean they are out on top free agents such as outfielder George Springer and relief pitcher Liam Hendriks. The Lindor/Carrasco trade could add more than $30 million to the team's 2021 payroll, and the Mets will likely try […]

Stefon Diggs, Cole Beasley Return To Practice

Buffalo Bills wide receivers Stefon Diggs (oblique) and Cole Beasley (knee) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Diggs was limited on Tuesday and said he's fine to play in the wild-card playoff tilt against the Colts on Saturday. Beasley, however, is up in the air after missing the Week 17 win […]

Alex Smith Working Off To The Side Thursday

Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith (calf) was working off to the side without a helmet at practice on Thursday, with Taylor Heinicke taking first-team repetitions during the period of practice open to the media. Head coach Ron Rivera said that Smith was throwing the ball well during a limited practice on Wednesday. Barring a […]

Saints Still Hopeful Alvin Kamara Can Play

The New Orleans Saints remain hopeful that running back Alvin Kamara will be able to play in Sunday's wild-card game against the Bears after he tested positive for COVID-19 last week and was forced to miss the Week 17 win over the Panthers. Kamara is participating in live practices this week remotely, according to a […]

Stephen Gostkowski Activated From COVID-19 List

Tennessee Titans kicker Stephen Gostkowski was activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday. Gostkowski missed the Week 17 win over the Texans but is now on track to play against the Ravens in the wild-card playoff game on Sunday. The three-time Super Bowl winner missed seven of his first 17 field-goal tries for Tennessee this […]

Lamar Jackson Looks To Get On Track Against Titans

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson saw his numbers dwindle from the previous year this season. With his team advancing to the playoffs, he has a chance to get back on track in a relatively tough matchup against the Titans Defense. The former MVP didn't play too well against Tennessee in 2020, at least on the […]

Mike Evans To Be Game-Time Decision Saturday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that wide receiver Mike Evans (knee) will be a game-time decision on Saturday night against the Washington Football Team in the wild-card playoff tilt. The good news is that Evans was testing his hyperextended knee in practice on Thursday after missing practice on Wednesday, and he looked […]

DeForest Buckner Back At Practice

Indianapolis Colts defensive tackle DeForest Buckner (ankle) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Strong safety Khari Willis (concussion) was also practicing without a non-contact jersey, which likely indicates that he's cleared the concussion protocol and should be good to play in the wild-card game against the Bills on Saturday. Buckner, who […]

Cleveland Lands Amed Rosario, Andres Gimenez, Others

Cleveland is trading away shortstop Francisco Lindor and starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco on Thursday in exchange for shortstop Amed Rosario, infielder Andres Gimenez, right-hander Josh Wolf and outfielder Isaiah Greene. Rosario, who has a career slash line of .268/.302/.403 with 32 homers, 148 RBI and 50 steals in four seasons, should have a better chance […]

Mets Acquiring Francisco Lindor, Carlos Carrasco

The New York Mets are finalizing a deal to acquire shortstop Francisco Lindor and starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco from Cleveland in exchange for shortstop Amed Rosario, infielder Andres Gimenez, outfielder Isaiah Greene and right-hander Josh Wolf, according to a source. Lindor, who was set to become a free agent after the 2021 season, is a […]

Yadier Molina Inevitably Returning To Cardinals?

The idea of the St. Louis Cardinals re-signing catcher Yadier Molina is approaching inevitable territory, but there is still an opportunity for another team to come in with a higher bid and steal Molina away. But the Cardinals have the trump card that Molina wants two years and he wants to remain with the Red […]

Antoine Bethea Retires From NFL

Veteran safety Antoine Bethea announced his retirement on Thursday after 14 seasons in the league. The 36-year-old played for the Indianapolis Colts (eight seasons), San Francisco 49ers (three seasons), Arizona Cardinals (two seasons) and New York Giants (one season). He made three Pro Bowls and started 200 of the 209 games he played in, including […]

Steelers Activate Eric Ebron From COVID-19 List

The Pittsburgh Steelers activated tight end Eric Ebron and linebacker Cassius Marsh from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday. Ebron was considered a high-risk close contact and did not play in the Week 17 loss to the Browns, but he will be available in the rematch against Cleveland during the wild-card game on Sunday night. The […]

Philadelphia Eagles senior offensive assistant Rich Scangarello and senior offensive consultant Marty Mornhinweg, who are on expiring contracts, will not return to the team in 2021, according to sources.
