Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson (calf, hip) and safety Reshad Jones (ankle) are not practicing on Friday.

There is now less optimism that Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed (concussion) will play in Week 2 against the Cowboys, according to a source. What else is new?

Keith Hernandez 5 years agoJoe Mixon Practicing Friday
Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (ankle) is practicing on Friday. It gives Mixon owners hope that he'll be able to play through his sprained ankle in Week 2 against the 49ers, but even if he does he might be limited and could cede touches to backup Giovani Bernard. Mixon could be a game-time decision […]

Keith Hernandez 5 years agoJulie'n Davenport Could Go On IR
The Miami Dolphins are considering placing offensive tackle Julie'n Davenport (knee) on the Injured Reserve. However, there's still a chance that Davenport could come back this year if he goes on IR. It would just be more bad news for an offensive line that already traded their best talent, Laremy Tunsil, to the Texans. Miami's […]

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell's (shoulder) MRI exam showed no major damage or tears, according to a source.

Keith Hernandez 5 years agoDeAndre Hopkins Limited With Ribs Injury
Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (ribs) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. There's no reason to believe that Hopkins won't play in Week 2 against the Jaguars, where he will remain an elite WR1 despite likely being followed by Jacksonville shutdown cornerback Jalen Ramsey. In his last meeting with […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoNick Foles Targeting Week 11 Return
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Nick Foles (collarbone) is loosely targeting a Week 11 return, according to a source. Depending on how his bone heals, it's expected to be around a 10- to 12-week recovery. You are only holding onto Foles if you're in a league that starts two quarterbacks.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs (hamstring) was left off the team's initial Week 2 injury report.

To put it […]

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (ankle) is not practicing on Thursday. Mixon hasn't practiced yet this week and is beginning to look doubtful to play in Week 2 against the 49ers.
