James White Expected To Play Against Titans

New England Patriots running back James White (ankle) is expected to face the Titans in the Divisional Round on Saturday, according to a source. With both Rex Burkhead (knee) and Mike Gillislee (knee) expected to be inactive, White could have a significant role behind Dion Lewis on passing downs, especially with the Titans possessing a […]

Rex Burkhead, Mike Gillislee Not Expected To Play

New England Patriots running backs Rex Burkhead (knee) and Mike Gillislee (knee), who are both listed as questionable, are not expected to play in the Divisional Round against the Titans on Saturday, according to sources. That would leave Dion Lewis as the primary workhorse back for the Patriots, with James White the top passing back. […]

Antonio Brown To Be A Game-Time Decision Sunday

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown (calf, illness) is expected to be a game-time decision this Sunday. According to a source, Brown's calf is still an issue despite the All-Pro receiver having three weeks off to rest. He was a full participant in practices on Monday and Tuesday before missing practice on Friday with an […]

Malcolm Mitchell Won't Play Saturday

New England Patriots wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell (knee) was not activated from Injured Reserve on Friday and won't play in the Divisional Round against the Titans on Saturday.

Jaydon Mickens Questionable, Marcedes Lewis Good To Go

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jaydon Mickens (hamstring) was limited in practice all week and is questionable to face the Steelers on Sunday. Tight end Marcedes Lewis (ankle) practiced in full the last two days and was taken off the final injury report for the Divisional Round. Mickens is the team's fifth receiver with Marqise Lee […]

Kyle Rudolph Not On Final Injury Report

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph (ankle) practiced in full all week and isn't on the final injury report for the Divisional Round against the Saints. It's a great sign that he was a full participant in practice all week, but he's still likely to be less than 100 percent after having extra time to […]

Brandon Coleman Ruled Out

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Brandon Coleman (neck) has been ruled out for the Divisional Round against the Vikings. This is a notable development for the Saints offense as they face a stiff Vikings secondary led by cornerback Xavier Rhodes. Receivers Michael Thomas and Willie Snead will have bigger roles with Coleman sidelined, and perhaps […]

Jonathan Cooper Undergoes Knee Surgery

Dallas Cowboys offensive lineman Jonathan Cooper underwent surgery on his knee to repair a sprained MCL. Cooper suffered the injury in the Week 17 game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Sam Bradford Expected To Be Active Against Saints

Updating a previous report, Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford (knee) is expected to be active for the Divisional Round against the Saints, according to a league source. Bradford hasn't yet been activated from Injured Reserve and hasn't dressed for a game since Week 5. If Bradford is active, it's unclear if Teddy Bridgewater will dress. […]

Sam Bradford Not Expected To Be Active This Weekend

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford (knee) is not expected to be active for the Divisional Round against the Saints, with Teddy Bridgewater likely serving as Case Keenum's backup. Bradford could dress as the No. 3 QB, but head coach Mike Zimmer has never dressed three quarterbacks in a game. Bradford also would still need to […]

Antonio Brown Misses Friday Practice With Illness

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown missed Friday's practice with an illness.

Brown missed the final two weeks of the regular season with a calf injury […]

Terence Newman Questionable Against Saints

Minnesota Vikings cornerback Terence Newman (foot) was limited in practice Friday and will be questionable against the Saints in the Divisional Round, according to head coach Mike Zimmer. We would expect Newman to be fine for the playoff matchup this weekend. Newman is part of a solid Minnesota secondary that was very stingy on opposing […]

Rex Burkhead, James White, Mike Gillislee Listed As Questionable

New England Patriots running backs Rex Burkhead (knee), James White (ankle) and Mike Gillislee (knee) are all listed as questionable for the Divisional Round against the Titans after practicing on a limited basis Thursday.

Chris Hogan Taken Off Injury Report

New England Patriots wide receiver Chris Hogan (shoulder) has been taken off the injury for the Divisional Round against the Titans. This confirms that he will return to play this weekend. He'll give quarterback Tom Brady another weapon through the air, but even in a great matchup, Hogan is a risky DFS play given the […]

Andrus Peat Placed on Injured Reserve

New Orleans Saints offensive lineman Andrus Peat (ankle, leg) was placed on Injured Reserve on Wednesday, ending his season and participation in the playoffs. Peat suffered a broken fibula and high ankle sprain in last week's win over Carolina. He should recover fully ahead of the 2018 season, but it will leave a sizable hole […]
