Larry Fitzgerald Returns To Practice Thursday
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald (hamstring) returned to practice on Thursday after being rested on Wednesday.

New York Jets running back Bilal Powell (neck) is expected to make a full recovery and play again, according to head coach Todd Bowles.

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson (ankle) is missing practice for the second straight day on Thursday.

Quincy Enunwa Ruled Out For Week 8
New York Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa (ankle) has yet to practice this week and has been ruled out for Week 8 against the Bears.

Khalil Mack Affected By Ankle Injury
Chicago Bears defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said defensive end Khalil Mack (ankle) has been affected by his ankle injury the last few weeks and is "obviously not 100 percent." After recording five sacks in the first four games, Mack has suddenly disappeared and has just three tackles and no sacks in the last two weeks... Read More
Theo Riddick Still Sidelined At Practice
Detroit Lions running back Theo Riddick (knee) remained out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Riddick does not look like he will be active in Week 8 against the Seahawks coming off the team's bye. It'll be his second straight missed game if that's the case. It's great news for rookie Kerryon... Read More
Giovani Bernard Not Seen At Practice
Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard (knee) was not seen at all on the practice field on Thursday. Bernard has yet to resume practicing since spraining his MCL on Sept. 30, and he looks likely to miss another game in Week 8. Once he returns, he'll be Joe Mixon's change-of-pace back and could have RB3/flex... Read More
Torrey Smith Out Again Thursday
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Torrey Smith (knee) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. It's not a good sign for his chances of playing in Week 8 against the Ravens. The veteran wideout hasn't gone over five catches or 61 yards in a single game this year and remains an unattractive all-or-nothing fantasy... Read More
Kenny Stills Could Be Back In Week 9
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills (groin) has already been ruled out for Thursday night against the Texans, but his injury isn't a long-term one and he could have a shot at playing in Week 9 against the Jets.

Peyton Barber Returns To Practice
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber (ankle) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. It's a good sign that he will be able to play in Week 8 against the Bengals.

Robert Turbin Hoping To Return After Bye
Indianapolis Colts running back Robert Turbin (shoulder), who suffered a dislocated shoulder two weeks ago, is hoping to return after the team's Week 9 bye. When healthy, Turbin is fourth on the running back depth chart behind Marlon Mack, Nyheim Hines and Jordan Wilkins, so he can remain on the waiver wire in fantasy leagues.
Marlon Mack Not Practicing Thursday
Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (ankle) is not practicing on Thursday after getting in a limited session on Wednesday. It's unclear if Mack suffered a setback or not, so his Friday practice participation will be key. If he's unable to go, rookies Nyheim Hines and Jordan Wilkins would split the workload in an excellent... Read More
Randall Cobb, Geronimo Allison Expected To Play Against Rams
Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said he feels good about both wide receivers Randall Cobb (hamstring) and Geronimo Allison (hamstring) playing in Week 8 against the Rams.

LeSean McCoy Still In Concussion Protocol
Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol, but he was able to get in a limited practice on Thursday. It's an encouraging sign that he'll be able to play on Monday against the Patriots. He has had at least 100 total yards from scrimmage in each of his last... Read More
Sony Michel Still Absent At Practice
New England Patriots rookie running back Sony Michel (knee) remained sidelined at practice on Thursday. Dealing with a sprained MCL, Michel is fully expected to sit out for the game on Monday night against the Bills, and he might be hard-pressed to return next week as well. He needs to be stashed in all formats,... Read More
Rob Gronkowski Back At Practice Thursday
New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (back) was back at practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Gronk's back spasms that kept him out of Week 7 were never believed to be a long-term issue, so he should be fine to play against the Bills on Monday with an extra day of rest.... Read More
Everson Griffen's Status Up In The Air
Minnesota Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen returned to practice on Wednesday after missing five games to address a mental-health issue, and it's too early to tell if he will play in Week 8 against the Saints.

Corey Coleman Added To Active Roster
The New York Giants added wide receiver Corey Coleman from the practice squad to their active roster on Thursday.

Ravens Looking To Get Hayden Hurst More Involved
Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said the team needs to get rookie tight end Hayden Hurst more involved in the offense. "It’s important to get Hayden involved going forward," coach John Harbaugh said. "He’s a first-round pick, talented guy. He’s practicing really well. He’s a rookie –- that’s the other side of it --... Read More
Chris Thompson, Paul Richardson Back At Practice
Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (knee, ribs) and wide receiver Paul Richardson (knee, shoulder) both returned to a limited practice on Wednesday after sitting out in Week 7. Thompson ranks second in receiving on the team despite missing a game. Thompson took part in practice last week before being ruled out, so he's no... Read More
Jamison Crowder Unlikely To Play In Week 8
Washington Redskins wide receiver Jamison Crowder (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday and is highly unlikely to play in Week 8 against the Giants. Crowder has now been out since Oct. 8 and is once again looking like a fantasy bust after many predicted a breakout in 2018. He's been dropped in most fantasy leagues.... Read More
Rick Porcello To Start Game 3 Of World Series
Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that starting pitcher Rick Porcello will start Game 3 of the World Series in Los Angeles against the Dodgers on Friday.

The Los Angeles Dodgers plan to build pitcher Julio Urias up as a starter again for the 2019 season, according to manager Dave Roberts.

Yoenis Cespedes' Heel Surgery Delayed
New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes' (heel) left heel surgery has been delayed a few days due to a scheduling conflict, but it should still be done by the end of this month, which would keep him on track to begin baseball activities around late February/early March. Cespedes had surgery on his right heel earlier... Read More
Ndamukong Suh Doesn't Practice Wednesday
Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. The Rams could just be resting their stud defensive tackle in the middle of the season.

Dalvin Cook Could Be Out Through Bye Week
Multiple league sources have indicated a belief that Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) will miss the team's next two games against the Saints and Lions and remain out through the Week 10 bye.
