Richie James Jr. Questionable Against Packers
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Richie James Jr. (ankle) and safety Jaquiski Tartt (groin) are listed as questionable for Thursday night against the Packers.

Packers Defense To Be Short-Handed In Secondary
Green Bay Packers cornerback Kevin King (quadriceps) and safeties Will Redmond (shoulder) and Vernon Scott (shoulder) have been ruled out for Thursday night against the 49ers. Safety Raven Greene (oblique) is also questionable to play. The good news for the Packers Defense is that they're taking on an equally banged-up 49ers offense that will be […]
Patriots Add Donte Moncrief To Practice Squad
The New England Patriots signed wide receiver Donte Moncrief and defensive lineman Ryan Glasgow to their practice squad on Wednesday. The Patriots continue to look for receiver depth with Julian Edelman (knee) on Injured Reserve and N'Keal Harry (concussion) missing the last two games.

Mitchell Trubisky Expected To Miss Time
Chicago Bears backup quarterback Mitchell Trubisky (shoulder) is expected to miss at least a few weeks with a shoulder injury that he suffered on his one play in Week 8.

Matthew Stafford Considered A High-Risk Close Contact
Updating a previous item, Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford is being considered a high-risk close contact from a non-team member, according to a source.

Alvin Kamara Says He'll Return To Practice Thursday
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (toe) said that he will be back at practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday with an injury that he likened to stubbing "your toe on the corner of a bedpost or something."

Texans Signing Josh McCown
The Houston Texans are signing veteran quarterback Josh McCown on Wednesday, according to his agent, Mike McCartney. McCown was part of the Eagles practice squad earlier this season, but he'll now join Houston's active roster as the third-stringer behind Deshaun Watson and backup A.J. McCarron. The 41-year-old is more of a coach at this point […]

The Green Bay Packers are listing running back Aaron Jones (calf) as questionable for the Thursday night game against the 49ers.

Lions Place Matthew Stafford On COVID-19 List
The Detroit Lions announced on Wednesday that they have placed quarterback Matthew Stafford on the Reserve/COVID-19 list. Since it's unknown yet as to whether Stafford actually tested positive for COVID-19, there's a chance that he could still suit up for Week 9 against the Vikings if he's just being quarantined. However, fantasy managers should be […]
Alvin Kamara Not Practicing Wednesday
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (foot) is not practicing on Wednesday due to a foot injury that isn't considered major, according to a source.

Cincinnati Bengals rookie quarterback Joe Burrow thinks he's "just scratching the surface" on his potential at the halfway point of his first year in the NFL.

Seahawks, Carlos Dunlap Agree To Reworked Contract
The Seattle Seahawks and defensive end Carlos Dunlap agreed to a reworked contract as part of his trade from the Bengals, according to ESPN's Field Yates.

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky (shoulder) suffered a shoulder injury in the Week 8 loss to the Saints, according to sources.

Christian McCaffrey A Full Participant Wednesday
Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (ankle), who hasn't played since suffering a high-ankle sprain in Week 2, was a full participant in practice on Wednesday.

Chris Godwin Practices In Cast
Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that wide receiver Chris Godwin (finger) was essentially a full participant in the team's walk-through practice on Wednesday while wearing a cast on his left hand.

Bears Release Ted Ginn Jr.
The Chicago Bears released veteran wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. on Wednesday, according to a source.
