Keke Coutee Trending Toward Being Active

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said that wide receiver Keke Coutee (ankle) is "trending toward being able to play" in Week 2 against the Jaguars. Coutee has practiced in full all week after being inactive in Week 1, so if he doesn't play this weekend it probably won't have anything to do with his […]

Mike Williams Returns To Practice Friday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (knee) is practicing Friday after sitting out the last two days. It's definitely a positive, but Williams could still be questionable for Week 2 against the Lions and might be a game-time decision. If Williams is able to play at Detroit, he would be a risk/reward WR3 with […]

Joe Mixon Questionable Against 49ers

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (ankle) is listed as questionable for Week 2 against the 49ers. Mixon will likely be a game-time decision, but we'll know early Sunday whether he's playing or not. If you're looking for positives, he returned to practice on Friday. If he's active, he might be on a snap count […]

Nick Bosa Looks Ready For 49ers Defense

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa (ankle) returned to practice on Friday after sitting out the last two days with a sore ankle, and he looks on pace to play on Sunday against the Bengals. The 21-year-old second overall pick should be active in Week 2, but he might have his snaps limited once […]

Cody Latimer Questionable For Week 2

New York Giants wide receiver Cody Latimer (calf) is listed as questionable for Week 2 against the Bills. With Sterling Shepard (concussion) and rookie Darius Slayton (hamstring) already ruled out, the Giants could be down to Bennie Fowler, Russell Shepard and Cody Core against a stout Buffalo pass defense this weekend. Even if Latimer ends […]

Dontrell Hilliard Out Again Friday

Cleveland Browns running back Dontrell Hilliard (concussion) is out of practice for the second straight day on Friday. It's not looking good for Hilliard playing on Monday night against the Jets, but he still has a little more time to get cleared this weekend. The backup to Nick Chubb vultured a touchdown in Week 1, […]

Dante Pettis Expects To Play More In Week 2

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis (groin) said his "body's back to normal" and that he expects to see more action in Week 2 than the two snaps he played in the season opener against the Buccaneers. Not only has Pettis been limited by an injury to start the year, but San Fran's coaching […]

Sterling Shepard Ruled Out Against Buffalo

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 2 against the Bills. That was the expectation, as Shepard had yet to be cleared to practice this week. With Golden Tate still serving a suspension and now Shepard ruled out, the G-Men will likely use Bennie Fowler, Russell Shepard and […]

Mark Andrews, Marquise Brown Absent Friday

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (undisclosed) and rookie wide receiver Marquise Brown (foot) were both absent from practice on Friday. Brown also missed practice last Friday but was still able to make his NFL debut and posted big numbers against the Dolphins. Andrews played 42 percent of the snaps in Week 1 but still […]

Le'Veon Bell Expected To Practice Saturday

New York Jets head coach Adam Gase said that running back Le'Veon Bell (shoulder) is expected to return to practice on Saturday after sitting out practices this week and undergoing an MRI exam for a shoulder issue. Gase said Bell's shoulder problem was a result in being too aggressive in practice. The star running back […]

Sam Darnold Won't Go On Injured Reserve

New York Jets head coach Adam Gase said that quarterback Sam Darnold (illness) is not a candidate to go on Injured Reserve while he deals with mononucleosis. Darnold was quickly ruled out for Monday night against the Browns and could also miss Week 3. Trevor Siemian will get the start in Week 2 against Cleveland […]

Antonio Brown Struggling To Learn Offense?

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said that wide receiver Antonio Brown has a "long way to go" in learning the team's offense and that there are few similarities between their offense and the systems that Brown played in at Pittsburgh and Oakland. The NFL won't put Brown on the commissioner's exempt list at […]

Torrey Smith Retires

Free-agent wide receiver Torrey Smith announced his retirement on Friday, wrapping up a career that included 5,141 yards and two Super Bowl titles. A prestigious deep threat during his career, Smith entered 2019 ranked third in yards per catch (16.1) among active wideouts behind DeSean Jackson (17.4) and Josh Gordon (17.3). The 30-year-old played eight […]

Albert Wilson, Reshad Jones Not Looking Good For Week 2

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson (calf, hip) and safety Reshad Jones (ankle) are not practicing on Friday. Neither player has practiced all week, so it looks as though the Dolphins are preparing to be without them in Week 2 against the Patriots. With Wilson unlikely to suit up, quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick will be throwing […]

Less Optimism That Jordan Reed Plays In Week 2

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? Reed has been the walking wounded in his career and has yet to play in 2019. He's always been an intriguing fantasy option when on the […]

Joe 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 […]

Antonio Brown Won't Go On Exempt List

Because New England Patriots wide receiver Antonio Brown is facing a civil lawsuit and not criminal charges, the NFL won't put him on the commissioner's exempt list at this time, according to multiple reports on Friday. It means that he'll be eligible to make his season debut with the Pats in Week 2 against the […]

Minkah Fitzpatrick Given Permission To Seek Trade

The Miami Dolphins have given 2018 first-round pick Minkah Fitzpatrick permission to seek a trade, but they aren't actively shopping him. The Dolphins want a significant return if they are to deal him. Fitzpatrick has been unhappy with his role on defense for a while now and blames his worst game in the NFL in […]

Julie'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 […]

Buccaneers Defense Loses Devin White Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie linebacker Devin White (knee) injured his right knee Thursday night against the Panthers and was ruled out in the first quarter. The impressive first-round pick played all of Week 1 while dealing with tonsilitis. Inside linebacker Kevin Minter replaced White. Losing White for any stretch of time would be bad news […]

Ted Ginn Gets In Full Practice Thursday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn (illness) returned to a full practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Ginn had a big game in last Monday's shootout win over the Texans, hauling in all seven of his targets for 101 yards. In a tough road matchup with the Los Angeles Rams this Sunday, […]

Tyler Lockett Back At Practice Thursday

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (back) was limited in practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Lockett looks on track to play in Week 2 on the road against the Steelers. The team's No. 1 receiver played 91 percent of the snaps but was targeted just two times in the passing game. Luckily […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster, James Conner Practice In Full

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (toe) and running back James Conner (illness) returned to a full practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Both players should be all systems go for Week 2 against the Seahawks at home. The Steelers will be looking to put the bad taste of the blowout Week 1 […]

Mike Williams Still Absent Thursday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (knee) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Unless Williams gets in some practice time on Friday, he looks destined to sit out of Week 2 on the road against the Lions. That's bad news for a Chargers offense that discovered that tight end Hunter Henry […]

Le'Veon Bell Gets Good News From MRI

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell's (shoulder) MRI exam showed no major damage or tears, according to a source. The Jets are being extra careful with Bell's status after he sat out all of last season. As of now, we'd expect Bell to play on Monday night against the Browns, but with quarterback Sam […]

DeAndre 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 […]

Nick 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. In his absence, rookie Gardner Minshew will […]

Sterling Shepard, Cody Latimer Miss Practice

New York Giants wide receivers Sterling Shepard (concussion) and Cody Latimer (calf) both missed practice on Thursday. As things stand now, it's not looking good for Shepard's chances of suiting up in Week 2 in a very difficult matchup against the Bills. With Latimer also questionable to play, the G-Men may be sending out Bennie […]

Stefon Diggs Not On Week 2 Injury Report

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs (hamstring) was left off the team's initial Week 2 injury report. Diggs has developed a reputation for disappointing his fantasy owners while playing through injuries, and that didn't change in Week 1 when he caught both of his targets for just 37 yards against the Falcons. To put it […]

Mark Ingram, Marquise Brown On Injury Report

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram (shoulder) and rookie wide receiver Marquise Brown (hip) were both listed as limited participants in practice on Wednesday ahead of Week 2 against the Cardinals. Both players had big Week 1 performances, with Ingram running for 107 yards and two touchdowns and Brown posting 147 receiving yards and two […]
