Mike Evans At Practice Friday
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) is at practice on Friday, and there is optimism that he'll be fine for Week 1 against the Saints after dealing with a soft-tissue injury this week. Evans could still get a questionable tag for the season opener, but unless he suffers some sort of setback, he's […]
Charvarius Ward Fractures Hand
Kansas City Chiefs starting cornerback Charvarius Ward (hand) suffered a fractured hand in Thursday night's win over the Texans and will be re-evaluated on Friday to determine how much time he will miss. Ward will have surgery on his broken hand, but based on the position he plays, it wouldn't be unprecedented if he puts […]
Quenton Nelson Misses Practice Thursday
Indianapolis Colts All-Pro left guard Quenton Nelson (back) did not practice on Thursday. Left tackle Anthony Castonzo (oblique) and center Ryan Kelly (knee) were both limited participants for the second straight day. Castonzo and Kelly should be fine for the season opener against the Jaguars in Week 1, but Nelson's status is more up in […]
Deebo Samuel Misses Practice Again
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (foot) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Samuel still has a shot to play in Week 1 against the Cardinals, but he'll have to get in at least a limited practice session on Friday. And even if the team's top wideout does suit up, he […]
Courtland Sutton Injured Thursday
Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton made a reaching catch in practice on Thursday and fell to the ground. Sutton headed to the locker room with trainers after the play with an undisclosed injury. With All-Pro linebacker Von Miller (ankle) suffering a season-ending surgery on Tuesday, this is the last thing Denver wanted to see […]
Broncos Defense Loses Some Luster After Von Miller Injury
The Denver Broncos Defense can still be a borderline starting option for fantasy managers in 2020 after they were a late-round option in drafts, but the season-ending injury to All-Pro pass-rusher Von Miller (ankle) lowers their overall ceiling. Denver lost Pro Bowl cornerback Chris Harris Jr. and defensive lineman Derek Wolfe in the offseason, but […]
Royce Freeman The Team's No. 3 Back
Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman's spot on the 53-man roster was considered shaky before training camp, but he enters Week 1 against the Titans on Monday night as the No. 3 back behind Melvin Gordon III and Phillip Lindsay. Gordon and Lindsay could wind up sharing the workload in more of an even 50/50 […]
Drew Lock Says Offense Has Been Clicking
Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock said something clicked for him and the offense over the final week of training camp practices. Denver's offense could benefit from an element of surprise on Monday night against the Titans, as no teams have film of offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur's new offense. Lock said he's far more comfortable heading […]
Jerry Jeudy Has A Chance To Be Special
Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Jerry Jeudy has a chance to be special and have a phenomenal career in the NFL. Jeudy, a first-round pick in April, was listed as a co-starter with Tim Patrick at the receiver spot earlier this week, opposite Courtland Sutton. The Alabama product worked extensively with the first-team offense for […]
Noah Fant Being Moved Around In Offense
Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant said "I'm moving around a lot and he's using me in different places," when asked about offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur's approach in training camp. It remains to be seen how much the Broncos use two-tight end sets, but Fant will be the club's primary pass-catching tight end regardless. The […]
Phillip Lindsay's Stock On The Rise?
Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay was listed as a co-starter at the position with Melvin Gordon III when the team released their depth chart earlier this week. With Gordon dealing with a minor rib injury recently, the Broncos could go with more of a 50/50 split on Monday night against the Titans or use […]
Melvin Gordon III Listed As Co-Starter
Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III was listed as a co-starter with Phillip Lindsay when the team released their depth chart earlier this week. Gordon has also been bothered by a rib injury in the last week, but he returned to practice last Friday. The Broncos brought in the 27-year-old in free agency to […]
Courtland Sutton Remains Team's Top Offensive Weapon
Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton looked great in training camp and is looking to take a step forward from his 2019 Pro Bowl season as the team's top offensive threat. Sutton has already shown his ability on the deep ball, but he impressed with his connection with quarterback Drew Lock on intermediate routes in […]
K.J. Hamler Highly Questionable For Week 1
Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver K.J. Hamler (hamstring) was expected to increase his practice workload on Wednesday, but he is deemed "highly questionable" to play on Monday night against the Titans, according to head coach Vic Fangio. Linebacker Mark Barron (hamstring), who was injured last Friday, is also highly questionable. Hamler is very quick and […]
David Montgomery Has A Chance To Play In Week 1
Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery (groin) told NFL Network's Stacey Dales that he's one step closer to feeling healthy after not doing much in practice on Wednesday to "be safe." Montgomery thought that he initially tore something when he suffered the injury on Aug. 26. He was listed as limited on the injury report […]
Chargers Defense In Play In Week 1
The Los Angeles Chargers Defense is in play as a starting fantasy unit in Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals. While the Chargers D lost a key contributor in safety Derwin James (knee) for the season, they still have a dominant pass rush led by Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram. Rookie linebacker Kenneth Murray could […]
Texans Optimistic That Brandin Cooks Will Play
There is a lot of optimism that Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks (quadriceps) will make his debut with the team on Thursday Night Football in Week 1 against the Chiefs, but it remains to be seen how effective he'll be if he's active. For a receiver that relies mostly on his speed to be […]
Tyrod Taylor On Week 1 Injury Report
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Tyrod Taylor (calf) is on the team's Week 1 injury report, but he got in a full practice on Wednesday and should be fine for the season opener at the Bengals on Sunday. The Chargers officially named Taylor the starter to open the season last week, while first-round rookie Justin Herbert […]
Von Miller To Have Surgery On Ankle
Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller (ankle) visited with Dr. Robert Anderson on Thursday and will have surgery to fix his dislocated tendon, according to a source. Miller will be out for at least three months and is unlikely to play in 2020. It's a huge blow to Denver's defense, as Miller and Bradley Chubb were […]
Joshua Kelley Could Have Big Role In First Season
Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Joshua Kelley flashed his potential in training camp this year and could have a big role behind Austin Ekeler in his first year in the NFL. Head coach Anthony Lynn has been impressed with Kelley, especially his versatility as a pass-catcher. Even Ekeler thinks the UCLA product will be […]
Zach Ertz Frustrated By Contract Talks
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz, who recently broke off contract extension talks with the team, said that "it's been frustrating at times." Ertz said he wants to remain in Philadelphia, but "I don't know for sure if that feeling is mutual." The 29-year-old tight end wants a contract sooner than later, but the Eagles […]
Clay Matthews Open To Playing In 2020
Despite not being able to come to an agreement with the Denver Broncos after visiting them, free-agent linebacker Clay Matthews remains open to play in 2020, "provided it's the right opportunity for him and his family," agent Ryan Williams said in a statement. The Broncos are looking for some linebacking help after releasing Todd Davis […]
Justin Jackson Not On Week 1 Injury Report
Los Angeles Chargers running back Justin Jackson (toe) is not listed on the team's Week 1 injury report ahead of their game against the Bengals. Jackson fought a toe injury at the end of training camp, but he looks to be just fine ahead of the season opener. The 24-year-old might have to share repetitions […]
Hunter Henry A TE1 Entering Season Opener
Los Angeles Chargers tight end Hunter Henry should be considered a strong midrange TE1 for Sunday's season opener on the road against the Bengals. Playing on the franchise tag this year, Henry isn't worried too much about it and wants his play to do the talking. The 25-year-old from Arkansas has yet to play a […]
Will Keenan Allen Stay Steady In 2020?
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen has at least 97 catches for at least 1,196 yards in each of the past three seasons, and he's scored exactly six touchdowns in each of those years. But that would've been hard to replicate in 2020, even if it were still Philip Rivers, not Tyrod Taylor under center. […]
Raiders Defense Has Tall Task In Week 1
The Las Vegas Raiders defense has the unenviable task of trying to shut down All-Pro do-it-all running back Christian McCaffrey in Week 1 on the road. McCaffrey had an MVP-caliber season last year, going over 1,000 yards both rushing and receiving with 19 total touchdowns. Pro Bowl linebacker Cory Littleton will be leaned on heavily […]
Darrell Henderson Jr. Practices In Full
Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. (hamstring) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. Henderson had been heading in a positive direction prior to Wednesday, and his full participation puts him on track to be active for the Week 1 matchup against the Cowboys on Sunday night. Rookie Cam Akers is still […]
Kenny Golladay, Danny Amendola, D'Andre Swift Limited
Detroit Lions wide receivers Kenny Golladay (hamstring) and Danny Amendola (hamstring) and rookie running back D'Andre Swift (hip) were all limited in practice on Wednesday. All three players should be good to go, barring any setbacks, for Week 1 against the Bears. Golladay is the clear No. 1 in Detroit and finished as a top-10 […]
Justice Hill, Chris Moore Miss Practice
Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (thigh) and wide receiver Chris Moore (finger) did not practice on Wednesday. Hill saw just 55 carries in his rookie season and is behind Mark Ingram II and Gus Edwards on the depth chart, so he's firmly off the radar for starting lineups in Week 1 against the Browns. […]
Chargers Slowly Working Mike Williams Back In
Los Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn said that wide receiver Mike Williams (shoulder) is slowly being worked back into practice this week. Williams was listed as a limited participant in practice, giving him a chance to play in Week 1 against the Bengals. However, even if Williams is active for the season opener, he […]
