Eagles Have No Plans To Pursue Le'Veon Bell
The Philadelphia Eagles haven't pursued a trade for Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell and have no plans to do so despite losing Jay Ajayi (knee) for the season, according to sources. Philadelphia also restructured the contract of Pro Bowl defensive tackle Fletcher Cox on Friday, creating $6.5 million more in salary cap space this […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoSaquon Barkley Not On Week 6 Injury Report
New York Giants rookie running back Saquon Barkley isn't on the initial injury report for Week 6 against the Eagles on Thursday night. He'll be ready to go. Barkley looked to injury his lower body on a touchdown late in the Week 5 loss to the Panthers, but apparently he's fine. The promising youngster has […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoTrent Williams Playing Against Saints
Washington Redskins left tackle Trent Williams (knee), who was listed as questionable, is active for Monday night against the Saints. Williams underwent a cleanup procedure on his knee during the bye week last week and was always expected to play in this one. He's the blind-side protector for quarterback Alex Smith and will try to […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoJosh Doctson, Samaje Perine Inactive Monday Night
Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson (heel) and running back Samaje Perine are both inactive for Monday night against the Saints. Doctson was in a walking boot late last week, so he was always a long shot to play in this one. In his absence, Jamison Crowder and Paul Richardson should see more targets against […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoPatriots Re-Sign Kenjon Barner
The New England Patriots re-signed running back Kenjon Barner on Monday for the third different time so far this season. Barner will provide depth behind rookie Sony Michel and James White, but he's unlikely to have any fantasy impact unless one of the two ahead of him are hurt.
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoChris Sale Not In Consideration For Game 4 Start
Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said he will not start Chris Sale on short rest in Game 4 of the American League Division Series against the Yankees if they are facing elimination. Starter David Price, who wasn't long for his outing in Game 2 Saturday, said he's available to pitch in Game 3 on […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoAldrick Rosas On Injury Report
New York Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas (quadriceps) is on the injury report for Week 6 against the Eagles on Thursday. New injuries on a short week are never a good thing, but it doesn't sound like Rosas' injury is very serious. Rosas is a perfect 11-for-11 on field goal tries and has made all seven […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoEvan Engram Has A Shot To Play Thursday
New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said tight end Evan Engram (knee) has a "shot to make it" for Thursday night against the Eagles. It seems doubtful that Engram would suit up on a short week and risk further injury, but the Giants aren't ruling him out. Even if Engram were to be active […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoJay Ajayi Tears His ACL
Philadelphia Eagles running back Jay Ajayi (knee) tore his ACL in the Week 5 loss to the Vikings and has been put on Injured Reserve, ending his 2018 season, according to a source. It's a huge blow to an Eagles offense that continues to be decimated by injuries as they try to defend their Super […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoMatt Breida Has Mid Ankle Sprain
San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida's (ankle) MRI exam came back negative, according to a source. His injury is considered more of a mid ankle sprain, which is good news. Breida has also been fighting a variety of other injuries this year and has proven to be a quick healer. However, that doesn't mean […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoLe'Veon Bell, James Conner To Form Committee?
The emergence of Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner could allow the team to ease Le'Veon Bell back into things following the team's Week 7 bye against the Browns. Bell got off to a slow start last year after his holdout early in the year, and he's also worried about his overall workload as he […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoMatt Ryan Undergoes X-Rays
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan (foot) underwent X-rays on Sunday but is 100 percent ready to go for a great matchup in Week 6 against a terrible Buccaneers secondary. Ryan had 285 yards passing with just one touchdown in a disappointing showing against the Steelers in Week 5, but he'll be a strong QB1 this […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoLeonard Fournette To Miss Week 6
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) will miss another game in Week 6 against the Cowboys, according to sources. Fournette aggravated his hamstring in Week 4 and will now miss two straight games. With Corey Grant (foot) on Injured Reserve, the Jags will roll with T.J. Yeldon and Brandon Wilds in their backfield next […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoRashard Higgins Week-To-Week With Knee Sprain
Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson said wide receiver Rashard Higgins (knee) is week-to-week with an MCL sprain. These types of injuries usually require two to four weeks of rest, so don't expect Higgins back in Week 6 against the Chargers. It's a shame because Higgins was looking like a legitimate No. 2 behind Jarvis […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoGreg Olsen Likely To Need Offseason Surgery
Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (foot), who is expected to return in Week 6 against the Redskins, said he'll likely need offseason surgery for his Jones fracture. Olsen re-fractured his foot in the season opener but recovered quickly and could return this Sunday. While there is a high chance of re-injury, Olsen will immediately […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoRavens Trying To Keep Alex Collins Fresh
Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said the team is trying to keep Alex Collins fresh after he played just 27 snaps in the Week 5 overtime loss to the Browns. "A fresh running back is a good thing. We need to spread the load," Harbaugh said. Collins had 12 carries for 59 yards (4.9 […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoCardinals Sign Kendall Wright
The Arizona Cardinals signed free-agent wide receiver Kendall Wright to a one-year deal on Monday and released rookie cornerback Deatrick Nichols in a corresponding move. Wright was the Bears leading receiver in 2017 with 59 catches for 614 yards and a touchdown. Arizona needs a lot of help on offense, generating 786 yards through the […]

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks (hamstring) remains out of the starting lineup for Game 3 of the American League Division Series on Monday against the Red Sox.

Keith Hernandez 6 years agoDarius Leonard Expects To Play Against Jets
Indianapolis Colts rookie linebacker Darius Leonard (ankle) was close to playing last Thursday against the Patriots and expects to return in Week 6 against the Jets. In four games, Leonard has quickly put himself on the map as an IDP must-start with a whopping 54 tackles, four sacks and one forced fumble. If he's active […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoRafael Devers, Steve Pearce, Brock Holt Starting
Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers, first baseman Steve Pearce and infielder Brock Holt are all in the starting lineup for Game 3 of the American League Division Series on Monday against Yankees starter Luis Severino. Devers is starting at third and hitting fifth, Pearce is at first and batting sixth and Holt is […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoJaire Alexander Could Return In Week 6
Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said first-round cornerback Jaire Alexander (groin) could return in Week 6 against the 49ers after sitting out in Week 5. Alexander has been one of the team's best defensive backs so far this year, so getting him back next weekend would be huge in a very winnable game […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoPackers Sticking With Mason Crosby
The Green Bay Packers don't appear to be exploring other kicking options after kicker Mason Crosby missed four field goals and an extra point in the Week 5 loss to the Lions. "He's got to make those kicks. He's a proven highly successful kicker, and I believe in him but he's got to make those […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoAaron Jones Hindered By Committee Backfield
Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones has a lot of potential, but his workload remains limited while sharing touches with Jamaal Williams and Ty Montgomery. "He's dynamic with the ball in his hands. But there's more to the position than just running the football. We have diversity in our attack with three guys. All […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoClayton Kershaw Lined Up For Potential Game 5
Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw will start a Game 5 (if necessary) of the National League Division Series against the Braves on Wednesday, according to manager Dave Roberts. This was the plan all along, but the Braves will have to force a deciding Game 5 by winning again on Monday first. Kershaw has […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoSean Lee Unlikely To Return In Week 6
Dallas Cowboys vice president Stephen Jones said linebacker Sean Lee (hamstring) is making progress, but it's a stretch to think he'll be ready in Week 6 against the Jaguars. Lee is a tackling machine when he's healthy, but the problem is he's usually dealing with some sort of injury. Jaylon Smith and rookie first-rounder Leighton […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoRashard Higgins To Miss At Least Two Weeks
Updating a previous report, Cleveland Browns wide receiver Rashard Higgins (knee) will be re-evaluated in two weeks to see how his sprained MCL is doing. MCL sprains are usually two- to four-week injuries, so there's no guarantee that he'll be ready after missing just two games. With Cleveland looking to limit rookie Antonio Callaway's snaps, […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoKayvon Webster Week-To-Week
Houston Texans cornerback Kayvon Webster (quadriceps) suffered a strained quadriceps on Sunday night against the Cowboys and is considered week-to-week, according to a source. Houston's secondary continues to be banged up, so it's a weakness for opposing passing games to exploit moving forward. Luckily for Houston, they'll face the lowly Bills and their non-existent passing […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoTaylor Lewan Undergoing Tests On Foot
Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said left tackle Taylor Lewan (foot) is meeting with doctors and undergoing tests on his foot on Monday. Lewan was injured in the Week 5 loss to the Bills. He's dealt with a concussion already this year, too. Any missed time for Lewan would be bad news for quarterback […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoOzzie Albies Hitting Second Against Rich Hill
Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies is hitting second in Game 4 of the National League Division Series on Monday against Dodgers left-hander Rich Hill. Third baseman Johan Camargo, who is hitless in the series, is being moved to fifth in the order. The switch-hitting Albies hit much better against lefties (.335, eight homers, 20 […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoJosh Wells Week-To-Week
Jacksonville Jaguars backup left tackle Josh Wells (groin) is week-to-week, according to head coach Doug Marrone. Josh Walker won't necessarily become the starter in Wells' place in Week 6 against the Cowboys. Wells had been filling in for starter Cam Robinson, so the Jags are now down to their third left tackle. That could present […]
