Jerick McKinnon, Matt Breida At Practice Tuesday

San Francisco 49ers running backs Jerick McKinnon (calf) and Matt Breida (shoulder) were both taking part in individual conditioning work at practice on Tuesday. Both players aren't fully participating in practice yet, but it's a good sign that they are on track to be ready for Week 1. McKinnon was a high-profile free-agent signing and […]

Adam Thielen's Injury Is Minor

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (leg) is "good" after leaving practice on Tuesday, according to a league source. There is no cause for long-term concern here. Thielen should be good to go for Week 1. He is a low-end WR1/high-end WR2 in fantasy after his breakout 2017 season.

Alshon Jeffery Hoping To Return For Week 3

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) is expected to miss at least the first two games of the regular season. The Eagles plan to activate him off the Physically Unable to Perform list this weekend with the hope that he can return in Week 3 against the Colts. This obviously is a huge hit […]

Sony Michel Limited In Practice

New England Patriots rookie running back Sony Michel (knee) remained limited in practice on Tuesday, according to running backs coach Ivan Fears. "He’s still under doctors’ care. They haven’t totally freed him up for us to do everything with him, so we’re doing everything we possibly can to keep him up to date," Fears said. […]

Doug Baldwin's Knee Will Be An Issue All Year

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin (knee) said he's at 80 to 85 percent health right now and that his knee injury is something he'll have to deal with all year. It's not something his fantasy owners want to hear at all. It appears Baldwin will be able to suit up for Week 1 in […]

Samaje Perine On Track To Play In Preseason Finale

Washington Redskins running back Samaje Perine (ankle) will be ready for the final preseason game on Thursday against the Ravens, according to head coach Jay Gruden. Perine could be playing for a roster spot after the team signed Adrian Peterson. Rob Kelley and Kapri Bibbs are also in the mix for roster spots alongside third-down […]

Roquan Smith Unlikely To Play Thursday

Chicago Bears rookie linebacker Roquan Smith (hamstring) returned to practice on Tuesday, but head coach Matt Nagy said Smith is unlikely to play in the preseason finale on Thursday against the Bills. Smith got a late start to training camp due to a contract holdout, and the injury further set him back. Expected to be […]

Marlon Mack Improving

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (hamstring) has made good progress over the last two days, according to head coach Frank Reich. Mack still isn't a lock to be ready for Week 1, however, which further complicates an already clouded running back by committee picture. Mack should lead the way when healthy, but Robert Turbin […]

Rashaad Penny Expected To Be Back For Week 1

Seattle Seahawks rookie first-round pick Rashaad Penny (finger) is expected to be back by Week 1 and should have a sizeable role in the offense, according to head coach Pete Carroll. However, Penny won't be taking the starting role away from Chris Carson anytime soon. Carson has been very impressive throughout offseason workouts and into […]

Adam Thielen Twists Ankle In Practice

Minnesota Vikings wideout Adam Thielen left practice on Tuesday after twisting his ankle while running a route. He was able to walk off on his own power, and Kendall Wright took over the first-team reps in his absence. It seems like a very minor issue, and Thielen could just sit out the Vikings preseason game […]

Zack Martin Back at Practice on Tuesday

Dallas Cowboys offensive lineman Zack Martin (knee) was back at practice on Tuesday. Martin assured everyone he would be ready for Week 1, and his presence at Tuesday's practice more or less confirms that, assuming no further setbacks. With Travis Frederick (illness) possibly out for an extended period, Martin's return is a huge benefit for […]

Andrew Luck Will Return To Practice Monday

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich said that quarterback Andrew Luck (foot) will return to practice on Monday. Reich said Luck is feeling strong and good, and the team doesn't anticipate restricting Luck in regular season practices. After missing all of last year with a shoulder injury, any injury to Luck seems more serious than […]

Josh Rosen Throwing Tuesday

Arizona Cardinals rookie quarterback Josh Rosen (thumb) did some throwing in practice on Tuesday. Rosen's injury obviously isn't serious at all. He'll open the season as the backup to Sam Bradford, but Rosen should be making starts at some point in 2018. He's not much of a redraft option, but Rosen is a fine pick […]

Adam Shaheen Expected To Avoid IR

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy doesn't think tight end Adam Shaheen (foot) will need to be placed on season-ending Injured Reserve. That means that Shaheen could return later this year, but it remains to be seen how much he can contribute. Trey Burton is the tight end to target in Chicago.

Alshon Jeffery Progressing Well

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) is "progressing well" and has been catching "75 balls a day" as part of his rehab. Jeffery remains on the Physically Unable to Perform list and remains questionable for Week 1. While it's unlikely he remains on the PUP and misses the first […]
