Andrus Peat Sits Out Practice Wednesday, Limited Thursday

New Orleans Saints left guard Andrus Peat (quadriceps) was out of practice on Wednesday and was limited on Thursday. Peat's injury doesn't seem too concerning, but his status for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is still unknown. Full participation in Friday's practice would likely indicate he's a go for Sunday. If Peat does […]

Joey Bosa May Not Play In Week 1

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn hinted that defensive end Joey Bosa (foot) might not play in Week 1 against the Chiefs. "It’s possible that he might not be with us. ... Foot injuries, they take on all the body weight. That can be tricky," Lynn said. Bosa is an elite IDP player, but […]

Jermaine Kearse Takes Part In Positional Drills

New York Jets wide receiver Jermaine Kearse (abdomen), who has been sidelined the last two weeks with an abdominal injury, took part in positional drills in practice on Thursday. It's a good sign for Kearse, but he was officially listed as did not practice. It's unlikely that he'll be able to play in Week 1 […]

Mack Hollins Sent to Injured Reserve

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mack Hollins was placed on injured reserve due to a groin injury. Hollins was slated for a much bigger role in his sophomore season, but he needs more time to recover from sports hernia surgery. He's a candidate to return in the second half of the season, but he certainly doesn't […]

Vance McDonald Misses Thursday Practice

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald (foot) did not participate in his team's practice on Thursday. McDonald got in a limited session on Wednesday but was not on the field for Thursday's practice. It is unclear if McDonald suffered a setback with his foot or if the team is simply holding him out to limit […]

Jalen Ramsey Added To Injury Report

Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey (ankle) was added to the injury report on Thursday with ankle soreness. This injury won't keep Ramsey from suiting up in Week 1 against the Giants. He'll be locked in a battle with elite receiver Odell Beckham Jr. That matchup will be must-watch football.

Panthers Sign Connor Cook To Practice Squad

The Carolina Panthers signed free-agent quarterback Connor Cook to the practice squad on Thursday and released defensive tackle Kendrick Norton from the practice squad in a corresponding move.

Cameron Meredith's Role Unclear

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Cameron Meredith's role heading into Week 1 against the Buccaneers is unclear, especially since the team kept slot man Austin Carr around. Meredith has been a full participant in practice this week while recovering from a knee injury that kept him out all of last year. Meredith might have his […]

Mackensie Alexander Returns To Practice

Minnesota Vikings cornerback Mackensie Alexander (ankle) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. It's a good sign that Alexander will have a chance to suit up in Week 1 against the 49ers. When healthy, Alexander will typically be the slot cornerback, with Xavier Rhodes and Trae Waynes on the edges.

Zach Brown Should Be Ready For Week 1

Washington Redskins linebacker Zach Brown (oblique) practiced for the first time in more than a week on Wednesday and should be ready to play in Week 1 against the Cardinals. Brown is a top-10 IDP option at his position after recording 100-plus tackles each of the last two seasons with Buffalo and Washington. Start him […]

Marlon Mack Returns To Practice

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (hamstring) returned to practice on Thursday for the first time since early August. However, he still figures to be a long shot to play in Week 1 against the Bengals. Mack should be avoided this weekend, even if he somehow suits up. It's expected to be rookie Jordan Wilkins […]

Anthony Castonzo Optimistic About Playing In Week 1

Indianapolis Colts left tackle Anthony Castonzo (hamstring) is optimistic that he will play in Week 1 against the Bengals. He said his hamstring felt good in practice on Wednesday and that he'll push himself some more on Thursday. Castonzo could still be listed as questionable for this weekend, but he's trending in the right direction. […]

Eric Berry Still Out Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) remained out of practice on Thursday. It doesn't look like Berry will be able to play in Week 1 against the Chargers, which is really bad news for an already thin KC secondary. Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers could easily pick apart this secondary in the season opener at […]
