Brice Butler Won't Play In Second Preseason Game

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Brice Butler (foot) will not play against the Saints in the preseason game this Friday, according to head coach Steve Wilks. This is bad news for Butler, who is in a competition with rookie Christian Kirk, among others, for the No. 3 job behind Larry Fitzgerald and J.J. Nelson. The 28-year-old […]

Marcus Davenport Back At Practice Wednesday

New Orleans Saints rookie defensive end Marcus Davenport (groin), who has missed most of training camp with a pulled groin, was back at practice on Wednesday, although he didn't participate. "It's good," head coach Sean Payton said. "The news we're hearing is real good, so he's going to be kind of ramping up and accelerating […]

Seahawks Expect Rashaad Penny To Be Ready For Week 1

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll expects rookie running back Rashaad Penny (finger) to be ready for Week 1. Penny had surgery to fix a broken finger on Wednesday and is expected to be out three to four weeks, which would put him right on the cusp of the regular season opener against Denver. Penny […]

Matt Bryant Practices Wednesday

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant, who suffered an undisclosed injury, took part in practice Wednesday. Bryant kicked approximately 15 footballs during the closed part of team practice. However, Bryant will remain a game-time decision before the game against the Chiefs on Friday. All the indications are that the Falcons still want Bryant to be their […]

Chris Harris Jr., Shaquil Barrett Dealing With Injuries

Denver Broncos cornerback Chris Harris Jr. (oblique) and defensive end Shaquil Barrett (hamstring) are both dealing with injuries, but head coach Vance Joseph is hopeful that both will be able to play in the preseason game Saturday against the Bears. Harris is one of the better cover corners in the NFL and is now the […]

Alex Okafor Injured Wednesday

New Orleans Saints defensive end Alex Okafor suffered an undisclosed injury in practice on Wednesday and limped off the field under his own power.

Cameron Meredith Returns To Practice Wednesday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Cameron Meredith returned to practice on Wednesday after missing some time with an undisclosed injury. Apparently the injury wasn't related to his surgically-repaired knee, so that's the good news. Meredith has a prime opportunity to seize the No. 2 duties behind Michael Thomas, which would make him an attractive late-round […]

C.J. Prosise Returns To Practice

Seattle Seahawks running back C.J. Prosise (hip) returned to padded practice on Wednesday. Prosise has plenty of talent but is injured more often than he is healthy. He has an opportunity for more repetitions with rookie Rashaad Penny (finger) sidelined several weeks, but Prosise still has Chris Carson, Mike Davis and J.D. McKissic ahead of […]

Nagging Groin Injury Still an Issue For Trent Murphy

Buffalo Bills defensive end Trent Murphy's playing time will be put on hold with what head coach Sean McDermott is calling "a nagging groin injury."

Donnel Pumphrey Not Helping His Cause

Philadelphia Eagles running back Donnel Pumphrey (hamstring), who is on the roster bubble in training camp, hasn't been practicing due to an injured hamstring. The fourth-rounder in 2017 added muscle to his frame and looked to be in contention for the fourth running back spot before camp started. Pumphrey didn't play in the preseason opener […]

Rishard Matthews Not Practicing

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Rishard Matthews is not practicing due to an undisclosed injury on Wednesday. Corey Davis is the team's No. 1 receiver, and Taywan Taylor is seeing more run with the starting unit with Matthews sidelined. Matthews doesn't have a very high fantasy ceiling and is more of a touchdown-dependent wide receiver in […]

Rashaad Penny Having Surgery, Out 3-4 Weeks

Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny (finger) is having surgery to fix a broken finger and will be out three to four weeks, according to sources. He'll be questionable for Week 1 of the regular season, but the Seahawks are hoping he'll be ready. Chris Carson had already seized the lead-back duties in training […]

Dolphins Have No Plans To Trade DeVante Parker

The Miami Dolphins have no plans to trade wide receiver Devante Parker (finger), according to a league source familiar with the Dolphins thinking.

Martavis Bryant Back At Practice Wednesday

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Martavis Bryant is back at practice Wednesday after missing the last two days due to headaches.

Bryant is competing for the third receiver role on the team, but has been struggling […]

J.J. Watt Should Be Ready For Season Opener

Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt has dealt with his share of injuries over the past several seasons, including a broken leg in Week 5 last season that ended the three-time Defensive Player of the Year's campaign, but Watt said on Tuesday that he expects to be healthy and ready to play in Houston's season […]
