Golden Tate Suffers Knee Injury In Practice
New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate (knee) suffered a knee injury late in practice on Thursday and is being evaluated by the medical staff.

David Bakhtiari Trending In The Right Direction
Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that left tackle David Bakhtiari (chest) is "trending in the right direction" to return in Week 10 against the Jaguars, but just because he was a full practice participant on Wednesday for the first time since his chest injury doesn't mean he's received final clearance. The left […]
Yankees, Mets Interested In Yadier Molina
Future Hall of Fame catcher Yadier Molina has received calls from both the New York Yankees and New York Mets, as well as three to four other teams, in addition to the St. Louis Cardinals having interest in bringing him back.

Tigers Interested In Taijuan Walker
The Detroit Tigers are among the teams interested in free-agent right-hander Taijuan Walker, according to a source. Detroit would like to add one veteran starter this winter.

Chargers Likely To Continue Committee Approach At RB
The Los Angeles Chargers have had different lead backs since running back Austin Ekeler injured his hamstring in Week 4 against the Buccaneers.

Another Ravens Player Tests Positive For COVID-19
The Baltimore Ravens are in the league's COVID-19 intensive protocols after another one of their players tested positive for the virus.

Deebo Samuel, Tevin Coleman Miss Practice
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (hamstring) and running back Tevin Coleman (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. It's not a great start for either player after they had some extra time to heal up following the team's Week 9 blowout loss to the Packers last Thursday. Samuel is no longer on the COVID-19 […]
Nick Chubb Unsure If He'll Play Against Texans
Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb (knee) returned to practice this week after missing the last four games with an MCL sprain suffered in the Week 4 win against the Cowboys, but he's unsure if he'll be able to return to action in Week 10 against the Texans. "There is still a lot more to […]

Seahawks Defense Could Have Damon Harrison This Week
Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that there is a "good chance" that defensive tackle Damon Harrison makes his debut with the team in Week 10 against the division-rival Rams.

JuJu Smith-Schuster On Week 10 Injury Report
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) did not practice on Wednesday.

[…]
Cooper Kupp Will Likely Play Against Seahawks
Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that wide receiver Cooper Kupp (wrist) will be limited in practice on Wednesday but will likely play in Week 10 against the division-rival Seahawks.

Seahawks Sign Bo Scarbrough
The Seattle Seahawks signed running back Bo Scarbrough to their practice squad on Wednesday. Seattle has been missing running backs Chris Carson (foot) and Carlos Hyde (hamstring) the last few weeks, leaving them pretty thin in the backfield.

Mark Ingram II Limited On Wednesday
Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram II (ankle) was limited at practice on Wednesday, giving him a chance to return in Week 10 against the Patriots.

Matt Breida Could Be On Track To Return Against Chargers
Miami Dolphins running back Matt Breida (hamstring) was a limited practice participant on Wednesday.

Buccaneers Not Worried About Mike Evans' Targets
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receivers coach Kevin Garver isn't exactly worried about wide receiver Mike Evans' lack of targets this year, explaining that the offense is run by a quarterback (future Hall of Famer Tom Brady) who spreads the wealth. The Bucs receiving corps ranks among the top 10 in the NFL, but Evans (34 […]
Luke Willson Trying Out For Ravens
The Baltimore Ravens are working out former Seahawks tight end Luke Willson on Wednesday. Willson was released by Seattle and was a victim of a crowded tight end room.

Chiefs Put Mecole Hardman On COVID-19 List
The Kansas City Chiefs placed wide receiver Mecole Hardman on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday.

Raheem Mostert Ruled Out For Week 10
San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert (ankle) was hoping to return in Week 10 against the Saints, but head coach Kyle Shanahan has already ruled the running back out for this weekend.

Bengals Defense Claims Takkarist McKinley Off Waivers
The Cincinnati Bengals claimed former Atlanta Falcons first-round defensive end Takkarist McKinley off waivers on Wednesday. Cincinnati traded disgruntled defensive end Carlos Dunlap to the Seahawks at the deadline this year, so they'll replace him with another player looking for a change of scenery.
