Kenny Golladay Does Not Practice Wednesday

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay (hip) did not practice Wednesday heading into the final week of the season. Golladay has not played since November 1 and the soon-to-be free agent doesn't appear to be trending towards playing in Week 17.

Kevin Kiermaier Unlikely To Be Traded

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier is available in a trade, but the Rays love him as a clubhouse guy and as their Gold Glove center fielder, so the chances of a trade are unlikely this offseason. With left-hander Blake Snell being traded to the Padres this week, Kiermaier is the only player remaining with […]

Julio Jones Unable To Practice Wednesday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) was unable to practice on Wednesday. Jones has missed the last three games with a nagging hamstring injury and has been unable to practice since the sessions leading up to Week 13.

Cardinals Interested In Re-Signing Kolten Wong

The St. Louis Cardinals remain interested in re-signing second baseman Kolten Wong after not picking up his $12.5 million 2021 option.

Adam Engel Avoids Arbitration

Chicago White Sox outfielder Adam Engel avoided salary arbitration on Wednesday by agreeing to a one-year, $1.375 million deal. The 29-year-old was a 19th-round pick out of Louisville in 2013 and made his first playoff appearance in 2020. Engel is known for his defense in the outfield and finished 3-for-12 with a home run in […]

Christian McCaffrey, Mike Davis Out For Week 17

The Carolina Panthers will not have running backs Christian McCaffrey (quadriceps, shoulder) or Mike Davis for the Week 17 regular season finale against the Saints.

Patrick Mahomes Won't Play Against Chargers

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that quarterback Patrick Mahomes will not play in Week 17 against the Chargers. The Chiefs have already locked up the top seed in the AFC postseason and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs, so they will rest most of their starters in a meaningless Week 17 game. This […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Ruled Out For Week 17

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan officially ruled out quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) for the Week 17 regular season finale against the Seahawks on Sunday.

Anthony Castonzo Done For The Season

Indianapolis Colts left tackle Anthony Castonzo (ankle) will miss the rest of the season due to an ankle injury that will require surgery, according to head coach Frank Reich.

Kenny Stills Visiting With Bills

Former Texans and Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills is visiting with the Buffalo Bills on Wednesday, according to a source.

Nico Hischier To Miss Start Of Training Camp With Leg Injury

New Jersey Devils center Nico Hischier suffered a leg injury while practicing in Switzerland and will miss the start of training camp. The 21-year-old is the focal point of the Devils attack, averaging 0.64 PPG through his first three seasons. Unfortunately, they are one of the more offensively-starved teams in hockey. It sounds like Hischier […]

Jaydon Mickens Promoted To Active Roster

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers promoted wide receiver Jaydon Mickens to the active roster on Wednesday and placed running back Kenjon Barner on Injured Reserve in a corresponding move. Mickens has been more of a special teams contributor for the Bucs this year than an offensive threat, catching just seven passes on 10 targets for 58 […]

Zion Williamson Bounces Back With Efficient Night

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson struggled to 31.8 percent shooting in his last outing but produced 20 points on an efficient 9-for-13 shooting in a loss to the Suns. Williamson largely had an empty line besides the scoring, but it was good to see the 20-year-old get his shot back on track. It's been […]

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday after testing positive for the virus, according to a source.

Jonathan Toews To Miss Start Of Season

Chicago Blackhawks center Jonathan Toews is out indefinitely with an undiagnosed illness that has left him feeling "drained and lethargic." Apparently, the Blackhawks captain has felt these symptoms for stretches of the offseason. There is no current timetable for the 32-year-old to return, and he will not join the team at training camp. Hopefully, it […]

Dalvin Cook Will Not Play Sunday

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook had an unexpected family emergency come up on Tuesday and had to return to Miami, according to a source.

Kyler Murray Expected To Practice Wednesday

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (leg) is expected to practice, at least on a limited basis, on Wednesday, according to a source. It's a good sign for his availability in a must-win game against the division-rival Rams in Week 17.

Jae Crowder Catches Fire From Deep In Victory

Phoenix Suns forward Jae Crowder scored 21 points with five triples, two rebounds, an assist, and a steal in just 21 minutes of a blowout win over the Pelicans.

Kirby Dach Fractures Wrist, Out 4-5 Months

Chicago Blackhawks center Kirby Dach (wrist) is out for the next four to five months after fracturing his wrist at the World Junior Championships. The 19-year-old missed out on captaining Team Canada at the tournament, and now he may miss the entire NHL season. It is a tough blow for the fourth overall pick from […]

Matthew Stafford Won't Practice Wednesday

Detroit Lions interim head coach Darrell Bevell said that quarterback Matthew Stafford (ankle, rib, thumb) will not practice on Wednesday. Stafford looks to have a 50/50 chance of playing in the Week 17 season finale against the Vikings due to the sprained ankle he suffered in the Week 16 loss to the Buccaneers. The 32-year-old […]

Robbie Gould Signs Two-Year Extension

Panthers Have Interest In Dwayne Haskins Jr.

The Carolina Panthers are one of several teams to show interest in free-agent quarterback Dwayne Haskins Jr., according to a source.
