Sterling Shepard Has Cyst Removed From Back

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said that wide receiver Sterling Shepard (back) had a procedure to remove a cyst from his lower back. Shepard didn't practice on Wednesday but is expected back later this week. The 25-year-old should be able to play in Week 5 against the Panthers, but keep an eye on […]

Joe Mixon Not Yet Cleared For Week 5

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (knee) said he has not yet been cleared for Week 5 against the Dolphins but hopes to be. If he's not cleared, he will "for sure" play in Week 6 against the Steelers. It's looking like the Bengals will hold Mixon out for at least one more week to […]

Leonard Fournette, D.J. Hayden Ruled Out

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) and cornerback D.J. Hayden (toe) have been ruled out in Week 5 against the Chiefs. Fournette could wind up missing multiple games, as head coach Doug Marrone said he doesn't know how much time the running back will miss. The loss of Hayden will make it tougher to […]

Devonta Freeman Expected To Return This Week

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said that running back Devonta Freeman (knee) is back at practice this week and is expected to return in Week 5 against the Steelers. Freeman has missed the last three games after suffering a knee injury late in the season opener against the Falcons. Freeman could have his snaps […]

Darren Sproles Day-To-Day

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said running back Darren Sproles (hamstring) remains day-to-day. The team is also monitoring quadriceps injuries affecting running back Corey Clement and offensive tackle Jason Peters. Sproles hasn't played since the season opener and doesn't look particularly close to returning as a change-of-pace back behind Jay Ajayi. He's strictly a […]

Austin Seferian-Jenkins Expected To Miss Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins (abdomen) is not expected to practice on Wednesday. Seferian-Jenkins has been battling this injury all year but has yet to miss a game. He hasn't gone over three catches or 25 yards yet, though, and remains an uninspiring touchdown-dependent TE2 for fantasy purposes.

T.J. Yeldon Expected To Practice Wednesday

Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon (ankle) is expected to practice on Wednesday. Yeldon should be fine for Week 5 against the Chiefs, and he'll one again be in the RB2 conversation with Leonard Fournette (hamstring) already ruled out. Kansas City's defense has been their weak point all season, and they allow the most fantasy […]

Grady Jarrett To Miss Week 5

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said on 92.9 The Game on Wednesday that defensive tackle Grady Jarrett (ankle) will miss the Week 5 game against the Steelers after spraining his ankle in Week 4. Quinn said it's a "week-to-week" situation for Jarrett. The Falcons signed free-agent defensive tackle Michael Bennett on Tuesday to help […]

Rams Pass Rush Takes Hit As Dominique Easley Hits IR

The Los Angeles Rams officially placed outside linebacker Dominique Easley (knee) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday. While their pass rush has been good the past couple of weeks, Easley returning was expected to improve that even more. The loss of Easley makes the team even thinner at the outside linebacker spot. Their defense is still […]

Will Dissly, Earl Thomas Put On IR

The Seattle Seahawks placed rookie tight end Will Dissly (knee) and free safety Earl Thomas (leg) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday. Both Dissly and Thomas will miss the rest of the season. Dissly tore his patellar tendon, which is a tough injury to come back from. He won't be guaranteed to be ready for the […]

Jack Doyle, Adam Vinatieri Miss Practice

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle (hip) missed practice for the second straight day on Tuesday. It looks like he'll be missing his third straight game. That lines up Eric Ebron for another TE1 performance with receiver T.Y. Hilton (chest, hamstring) also looking unlikely to suit up on Thursday against the Patriots. Kicker Adam Vinatieri […]

Terrance Mitchell Suffers Fractured Wrist

Cleveland Browns cornerback Terrance Mitchell (wrist) suffered a fractured wrist in the Week 4 overtime loss to the Raiders. On the season, Mitchell had forced two fumbles, recovered one and had an interception before his injury in the second quarter. Mitchell had been a turnover machine, so losing him for an extended period of time […]

Rob Gronkowski Misses Practice Tuesday

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (ankle) was not spotted during Tuesday's walkthrough practice. Gronk is looking highly questionable for Thursday night against the Colts, even though his ankle injury isn't believed to be very serious. He's always a must-start if he's active, but Gronk owners should be making other plans just in case […]

T.Y. Hilton Out Again Tuesday

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (chest, hamstring) missed his second straight practice on Tuesday. It's not looking good for Hilton's chances of suiting up in Week 5 this Thursday night against the Patriots. If you have him, starting planning to be without him this week. If Hilton is inactive, Chester Rogers and Ryan Grant […]

Morgan Burnett, Mike Hilton Expected To Practice

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said safety Morgan Burnett (groin) and slot cornerback Mike Hilton (elbow) are expected to practice this week. Getting both players back for Week 5 against a strong Falcons passing game would be huge for a secondary that has been roasted through four weeks of the season.
