Hayden Hurst Not Practicing

Baltimore Ravens rookie tight end Hayden Hurst (foot) is not practicing on Wednesday. He has already been ruled out for Week 1 against the Bills and is expected to remain out for several weeks. Hurst probably has the most pass-catching upside of the team's tight end group, but it's unknown when he'll be able to […]

Williams Hayes Practices on Wednesday, Dolphins Defense at 100%

Miami Dolphins defensive end Williams Hayes returned to practice on Wednesday, which puts the Dolphins defense at 100 percent for the first time since early in training camp. Despite the early-season health, the Dolphins defense is not in any position to have an improved 2018 campaign; they will likely repeat their below-average 2017 season. They […]

Eric Berry Won't Practice Wednesday

Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) remains day-to-day and will not practice on Wednesday. The Chiefs weak secondary desperately needs Berry in the regular season opener against the Chargers if they have any hope of slowing down quarterback Philip Rivers and company. If Berry sits out, it'll be good news for Rivers and all […]

Jay Ajayi Not Listed On Final Injury Report

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jay Ajayi (foot) was not listed on the final injury report for Week 1 against the Falcons. He will play, barring some sort of setback. Ajayi practiced in full the last two days and is good to go for Thursday night. With quarterback Carson Wentz and receivers Alshon Jeffery and Mack […]

Josh Gordon Says He Has No Limitations

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon (hamstring) said he has no limitations and is 100 percent heading into Week 1 against the Steelers. The Browns aren't planning on starting Gordon to open the season, but he could still play plenty and have a big impact for fantasy owners. He missed a large portion of training […]

Austin Seferian-Jenkins Not Expected To Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins (core) is not expected to practice on Wednesday. It's unclear whether ASJ is actually in danger of sitting out in Week 1 against the Giants, but we'll likely know more later this week. Seferian-Jenkins is a low-end TE1 if he suits up, but the Giants were gashed by tight […]

Anthony Castonzo Won't Practice Wednesday

Indianapolis Colts left tackle Anthony Castonzo (hamstring) will not practice on Wednesday, and his status for Week 1 against the Bengals is to be determined, according to head coach Frank Reich. Castonzo has the most important job on the team's offensive line, and that is to protect quarterback Andrew Luck. Not having him in the […]

Marlon Mack Fighting Uphill Battle For Week 1

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (hamstring) is not at practice on Wednesday, and The Athletic's Stephen Holder would be surprised if Mack is able to play in Week 1 against the Bengals. Mack can probably be safely avoided to open the season. It's looking like rookie Jordan Wilkins and Christine Michael will share the […]

Olivier Vernon Has High Ankle Sprain

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said linebacker Olivier Vernon (ankle) is dealing with a high ankle sprain and will not practice on Wednesday. Shurmur said that Vernon is "a fast healer," but it seems unlikely that Vernon would be able to play in Week 1 against the Jaguars. High ankle sprains often keep […]

Evan Engram Cleared From Concussion Protocol

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (head) is out of the concussion protocol and is likely to be able to play in Week 1 against the Jaguars. Engram doesn't have a great matchup and won't have as many targets with receiver Odell Beckham Jr. back healthy and rookie running back Saquon Barkley expected to […]

DeVante Parker Won't Play Sunday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (finger) will not play in the season opener this Sunday, according to a league source. He's been out since Aug. 12 when he suffered a broken finger during practice. Both Albert Wilson and Jakeem Grant will likely see more snaps in the offense as a result against the Titans. […]

Dalvin Cook Ready For Week 1

Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer said running back Dalvin Cook (knee) is "ready to roll" for Week 1 against the 49ers. Cook tore his ACL four games into his rookie season in 2017 but has regained his quickness and acceleration. The second-year player will play in Week 1 and is a low-end RB1/high-end RB2, […]

Zack Martin Feels Great

Dallas Cowboys offensive guard Zack Martin (knee), who suffered a hyperextended left knee in the preseason game on Aug. 18, said he feels great heading into Week 1. Unless he suffers a setback in practice, Martin looks like he'll be ready to play in the season opener. That's great news for running back Ezekiel Elliott.

Rex Burkhead, Sony Michel Question Marks For Week 1

New England Patriots running backs Rex Burkhead (knee) and rookie Sony Michel (knee) are both question marks for Week 1. However, Burkhead took the field for practice on Tuesday for the third straight week, which is a sign he will be ready after overcoming a slight tear in his knee. Running back Ivan Fears thinks […]

Curtis Samuel Likely To Miss Week 1

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel (heart) underwent a small procedure to fix an irregular heartbeat and is likely to miss Week 1 against the Cowboys, according to a source. Samuel had been buried on the depth chart anyway, so he wasn't a fantasy option to begin with, especially with rookie DJ Moore expected to […]
