Cameron Meredith Practices In Full Thursday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Cameron Meredith (knee) practiced in full on Thursday after being a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. The Saints are still limiting Meredith's practice repetitions after missing all of last season. But the wideout looks to be fully healthy and has seen his role grow slowly throughout the year. He will […]

Chris Sale Ready For Potential Game 6

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale (illness) played catch on Thursday and is ready for a potential Game 6 of the American League Championship Series against the Astros back in Boston on Saturday. Sale was shaky with his command in Game 1 last Saturday and was admitted to the hospital last weekend with stomach […]

Jose Altuve Toughing It Out In Playoffs

Houston Astros manager A.J. Hinch said second baseman Jose Altuve (knee) wouldn't be playing through his injury if it were the regular season. Altuve is serving as the designated hitter for the third straight game in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series against the Red Sox on Thursday. He's picked it up a […]

Tavon Austin Won't Play Against Redskins

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Tavon Austin (groin) will not play in Week 7 against the Redskins. Austin is dealing with a potential multi-week injury. He remains mostly a gadget player for the worst passing offense in the NFL, and he has seven catches on 10 targets for 130 yards and two touchdowns. The 28-year-old has […]

Dante Pettis Not Practicing Thursday

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis (knee) is not practicing on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Pettis could've suffered a setback and is now in danger of missing his third straight game. Even when healthy, he's the No. 4 receiver behind Marquise Goodwin, Pierre Garcon and Trent Taylor, so Pettis should remain on […]

Allen Robinson Downgraded On Thursday

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson (groin) did not practice on Thursday after getting in a limited session on Wednesday. Mid-week setbacks are never good, so Robinson could be truly questionable for Week 7 against the Patriots. If he's forced to sit out, Taylor Gabriel, rookie Anthony Miller and tight end Trey Burton will all […]

Terrance Williams Suspended Three Games

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrance Williams has been suspended by the NFL for three games after he was arrested for public intoxication and leaving the scene of an accident in May, according to a source. Williams is also currently on Injured Reserve with a foot injury, so he is well off the fantasy radar.

Calvin Ridley, Mohamed Sanu Miss Practice Thursday

Atlanta Falcons wide receivers Calvin Ridley (ankle) and Mohamed Sanu (hip) both missed practice on Thursday. They were expected to be limited, so this isn't a good start to the week for them. But with their Week 7 game being on Monday against the Giants, they'll both have an extra day to recover. Still, they'll […]

Jehu Chesson Added To Active Roster

The Washington Redskins promoted wide receiver Jehu Chesson from the practice squad to the active roster on Thursday with Jamison Crowder (ankle) expected to be out for a few weeks. Paul Richardson (knee) is also highly questionable for Week 7 against the Cowboys, meaning Josh Doctson and Maurice Harris could be the team's top two […]

Paul Richardson Having Knee Evaluated

Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson (knee) is having his knee evaluated by doctors, but he is not undergoing an MRI exam. The injury doesn't appear to be too serious, but Richardson is in danger of having to miss Week 7 against the Cowboys. With Jamison Crowder (ankle) already expected to miss his second straight […]

Adrian Peterson Back At Practice Thursday

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson (ankle, shoulder) was limited in practice on Thursday after missing practice on Wednesday. Peterson should be fine to play in Week 7 against the Cowboys after fighting through nagging injuries the last two weeks. He'll be a volume-based RB2 with a potentially limited ceiling with Chris Thompson (rib, knee) […]

Dalvin Cook Officially Misses Practice

Updating previous reports, Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) did not practice on Thursday after being a full participant on Wednesday. It sounds as if the Vikings are being cautious with their running back after he has missed three of their last four games after aggravating his hamstring in Week 4. If he returns […]

DeAndre Hopkins Misses Practice Thursday

Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (foot) did not practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. It's a concern for Hopkins' Week 7 status against the Jaguars, but the Texans could just be resting him. If he returns to practice on Friday, he should be fine for this Sunday. Hopkins had a season-low five […]

Jake Marisnick Starting In Center Field Thursday

Houston Astros outfielder Jake Marisnick is starting in center field and is batting ninth in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series against Red Sox left-hander David Price. Marisnick is just 1-for-12 with five strikeouts in his career against Price, although the one hit was a home run. He's hitless in just one at-bat […]

Mitch Moreland Making First ALCS Start

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland is starting at first base and is batting fifth in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series against Astros starter Justin Verlander. Steve Pearce will start on the bench. It will be Moreland's first start since tweaking his hamstring in Game 2 of the Division Series, although […]

Dalvin Cook Avoids Setback

Updating a previous report, Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer said that running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) was not limited in practice on Thursday after spotted leaving practice in the portion open to the media. It looks like Cook will indeed return in Week 7 against the Jets after missing three of the last four […]

Carson Wentz Moves To Full Practice

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz (back) put in a full practice on Thursday after sitting out some of the drills on Wednesday with a minor back injury. Wentz will be fine for Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers, where he will be a strong QB1 play. The 25-year-old has gone over 300 yards in two […]

Austin Barnes To Start In Game 6

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said catcher Austin Barnes will start over Yasmani Grandal in Game 6 of the National League Championship Series against the Brewers on Friday. Grandal has been a mess at the plate and on defense in this series, so Barnes continues to play over him. The Dodgers will also be […]

Ted Ginn Still Missing Thursday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn (knee) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. Ginn sat out Week 5 before the team's Week 6 bye, so it's a pretty bad sign that he hasn't been able to practice this week. He'll be doubtful unless he can practice on Friday. With Ginn missing time with […]

Evan Engram Practicing In Full

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (knee) put in a full practice on Thursday. Tight end Rhett Ellison (foot), who missed Week 6, also was a full practice participant. Engram was close to returning last Thursday, so he should be active on Monday night in a great matchup against the Falcons. Engram hasn't played […]

Dalvin Cook Leaves Practice Thursday

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring), who practiced in full on Wednesday despite missing three of the last four games, left practice during the portion open to the media on Thursday. It remains to be seen if his is a setback or if Cook suffered another injury, so stay tuned for more details. But […]

Nick Mullens Remains Niners Backup

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that quarterback Nick Mullens will remain C.J. Beathard's backup even after the team signed Tom Savage to a one-year deal this week. “Our team has confidence in him. The other guy just got here last night and is just trying to learn what the words mean," Shanahan […]

Terrelle Pryor, Isaiah Crowell Not Practicing Thursday

Updating a previous report, New York Jets wide receiver Terrelle Pryor (groin) and running back Isaiah Crowell (foot) both missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Crowell was initially believed to be limited, but he did not do enough to receive that tag. He could have his touches limited if he is active […]

Cardinals Not Shopping Patrick Peterson

Arizona Cardinals owner Michael Bidwell said the team is not shopping cornerback Patrick Peterson as the Oct. 30 trade deadline approaches. "Not true," Bidwill said while leaving the Conrad Hotel after the Fall League Meeting in New York. "I've seen the speculation. But it's not happening. Not happening." According to a source, one team inquired […]

Jacoby Ellsbury Expected To Be Healthy In 2019

New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury (hip) is expected to be fully recovered entering the 2019 season. "He's due to be healthy and back on track [following left hip surgery]. He'll enter Spring Training as a rehab player. I guess it remains to be seen if he will be a […]

Didi Gregorius Expected To Play In 2019

New York Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius (elbow) underwent successful Tommy John surgery, and the Yankees are optimistic that they will have him back in 2019. General manager Brian Cashman said that Gregorius should return between June and August of next year, in an interview with Michael Kay on ESPN New York. The leading internal candidate […]

Matt Chapman Undergoes Thumb Surgery

Oakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman (thumb) underwent successful left thumb surgery on Tuesday, and it was performed by Dr. Steven Shin.

David Price To Start Game 5 Of ALCS

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher David Price will start Game 5 of the American League Championship Series against the Astros on Thursday, according to manager Alex Cora. Price was warming up in the ninth inning with the game on the line in Game 4 on Wednesday, but he never came into the game. The left-hander […]

No Practice For Paul Richardson, Jamison Crowder

Washington Redskins wide receivers Paul Richardson (knee, shoulder) and Jamison Crowder (ankle) sat out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday. While Crowder could return to practice on Friday, he remains iffy to play in Week 7 against the Cowboys. Richardson missed two practices last week and still played, so he has a […]

Surgery Not An Option For Ryan Tannehill

The Miami Dolphins aren't looking into surgical options for quarterback Ryan Tannehill (shoulder) at this time. He has been prescribed rest. Tannehill has been ruled out for Week 7 against the Lions and is fighting an uphill battle to play in Week 8 on Thursday against the Texans. Brock Osweiler should see at least two […]
