Aaron Rodgers Say He'll Play Against Jets

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (groin) said he will play in Week 16 against the Jets. There was some speculation that the Packers might sit Rodgers in a meaningless game after he was injured in Week 15, but that won't be the case. That's great news for anyone that owns wide receiver Davante Adams, […]

Jordan Reed Absent From Practice

Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed (toe) is missing practice for the second straight day on Wednesday. Reed missed the game last week and seems primed to finish the 2018 season on the sidelines given his extensive injury history, especially with his feet. Reed never got on the same page with quarterback Alex Smith this […]

Sammy Watkins Still Not Practicing

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (foot) remains out of practice on Wednesday. Watkins hasn't played since the Week 11 game against the Rams and he's expected to be out until the postseason. Fantasy owners will not be able to count on him for the rest of the season. Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce […]

Randall Cobb Not Practicing Wednesday

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb (concussion) is not practicing on Wednesday. Cobb has yet to clear the concussion protocol and is in danger of missing Week 16 against the Jets. He really hasn't done much for fantasy owners since the season opener and is more of a WR5 to close out the year. […]

Aaron Rodgers Practicing Wednesday

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (groin) was practicing on Wednesday. Rodgers injured his groin last Sunday, and there has been speculation that the Packers might sit him out in a meaningless game in Week 16 against the Jets. The fact that Rodgers is practicing is a good sign for his availability this weekend, however. […]

Julio Jones A Question Mark For Week 16

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said that he will not know if wide receiver Julio Jones (hip) will be ready to go in Week 16 against the Panthers until Friday.

He made the All-Star team for […]

Kerryon Johnson Going On IR

The Detroit Lions are placing rookie running back Kerryon Johnson (knee) on Injured Reserve, according to a source. He is expected to make a full recovery this offseason. It's not a surprise, as Johnson hadn't been practicing and hadn't played since being injured in Week 11. The second-round pick had a productive rookie year, finishing […]

Giants Not Planning To Put Odell Beckham Jr. On IR

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said that he isn't considering putting wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (quadriceps) on Injured Reserve with the team out of playoff contention.

Philly Special - Can Eagles Help You Win a Championship?

Everyone knows how it went down for the Philadelphia Eagles in their improbable run to a Super Bowl victory over the New England Patriots last year. It all started when franchise quarterback Carson Wentz tore his ACL in Week 14 on the road against the Rams. Nick Foles entered the game and led them to a […]

Matt Harvey Agrees With Angels

Free-agent starting pitcher Matt Harvey agreed to an undisclosed deal with the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday, according to a source.

Keenan Allen Could Be Game-Time Decision

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn said that wide receiver Keenan Allen (hip) could be a game-time decision on Saturday night against the Ravens. Allen suffered a hip pointer last Thursday and didn't practice on Tuesday, so his status is truly up in the air. His owners would feel a lot more comfortable about […]

No Practice For Jordan Reed Tuesday

Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed (ankle, foot) remained sidelined during practice on Tuesday. Reed didn't play in Week 15 and seems unlikely to suit up on Saturday against the Titans. Even with Washington still technically in contention for a wild-card spot in the NFC, they might elect to hold the oft-injured Reed out for […]

Marcus Mariota On Injury Report

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota (foot) was limited in the team's walkthrough practice on Tuesday. Wide receiver Tajae Sharpe (ankle) did not practice. Mariota should be fine for Saturday's game against the Redskins. As long as running back Derrick Henry continues to run the ball well, the Titans won't ask Mariota to do much, making […]

Melvin Gordon Practices At Full Speed

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn said that running back Melvin Gordon (knee) was practicing at full speed on Tuesday. Gordon is set to return from a three-game absence in a big Week 16 matchup with the Ravens on Saturday, barring a setback in practice this week. Despite the tough matchup, Gordon is a […]

Marcus Murphy Lands On Injured Reserve

The Buffalo Bills placed running back Marcus Murphy (elbow) on Injured Reserve after he dislocated his elbow in Week 15 against the Lions.

Keith Ford replaced him […]

Aaron Jones Placed On Injured Reserve

The Green Bay Packers placed running back Aaron Jones (knee) on the Injured Reserve on Tuesday. Wide receiver Allen Lazard was signed in a corresponding move.

Panthers Could Shut Cam Newton Down

Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera hasn't ruled out the idea of shutting quarterback Cam Newton (shoulder) down for the final two games of the season due to his sore right throwing shoulder. Rivera plans to meet with Newton later in the week to figure out where he is "in terms of his physical state […]

Keenan Allen, Austin Ekeler Not Practicing Tuesday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hip) and running back Austin Ekeler (concussion, neck) are not practicing on Tuesday.

DeSean Jackson Hopes To Play Against Cowboys

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson (thumb) is hopeful of playing in Week 16 against the Cowboys despite missing the last three games with a left thumb injury. D-Jax hasn't practiced since his injury and hasn't been able to even squeeze a football in recent weeks. Even if he returns, he'll be more of […]

Daniel Descalso Joins Cubs

The Chicago Cubs agreed to an undisclosed deal with free-agent infielder Daniel Descalso on Tuesday.

Aaron Rodgers In Danger Of Missing Week 16?

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (groin) injured his groin in the Week 15 loss to the Bears, although he wants and expects to play in Week 16 against the Jets.

Keenan Allen Still In Doubt

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hip) missed practice on Monday and his status for Week 16 against the Ravens remains in doubt. Allen is dealing with a hip pointer that isn't considered serious, so he should be able to return to practice at some point this week and play on Saturday against Baltimore. […]

Melvin Gordon Ready To Knock Off The Rust

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (knee) said that he is ready to knock off some rust in Week 16 against the Ravens after missing the last three games with a knee sprain. “I feel good, not 100% obviously,” Gordon said. “I don’t think that’s a secret. But I’m good enough to get out […]

Todd Gurley Day-To-Day

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley (knee) is dealing with inflammation and is day-to-day, according to head coach Sean McVay. It's the best possible news for Gurley's owners after he missed a little time in the third quarter of Sunday night's loss to the Eagles. He still had 12 carries for 48 yards and […]

Astros Close To Signing Michael Brantley

The Houston Astros are closing in on free-agent outfielder Michael Brantley, according to sources. Rival executives expect the deal to be for two years and around $32 million.

Marcus Murphy Has Dislocated Elbow

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that running back Marcus Murphy (elbow) suffered a dislocated elbow in the Week 15 win over the Lions. It's unlikely that Murphy will be able to play in the final two games. He started on Sunday with both LeSean McCoy and Chris Ivory inactive, carrying the ball 11 […]
