New England Patriots running backs Rex Burkhead (knee), James White (ankle) and Mike Gillislee (knee) are all listed as questionable for the Divisional Round against the Titans after practicing on a limited basis Thursday.

New England Patriots wide receiver Chris Hogan (shoulder) has been taken off the injury for the Divisional Round against the Titans. This confirms that he will return to play this weekend.

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Michael Fulmer (elbow) is doing fine and is on track for spring training four months after he had ulnar transposition surgery to reposition the ulnar nerve in his right elbow.

Keith Hernandez 7 years agoMarcedes Lewis Limited In Practice
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Marcedes Lewis (ankle) was limited in practice Wednesday. There's been no indication that Lewis is in danger of missing the Divisional matchup against the Steelers.

The Atlanta Braves released third baseman Adonis Garcia so that he can purse an opportunity in the Korean League in 2018.

Keith Hernandez 7 years agoBrandon Coleman Sitting Out Wednesday
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Brandon Coleman (neck) did not practice Wednesday. It remains to be seen how serious Coleman's injury is or whether it will keep him out this weekend in the Divisional Round against the Vikings. If he's playing, Coleman isn't much of a fantasy option against a strong Minnesota secondary. He had […]
Keith Hernandez 7 years agoKyle Rudolph Practices In Full
Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph (ankle) practiced in full Wednesday. Rudolph had the bye week to heal up from an ankle injury that bothered him over the last month of the season. He had just four catches in the last three games to close out the year, but he he did eight total touchdowns […]
Keith Hernandez 7 years agoChris Hogan, James White Limited
New England Patriots wide receiver Chris Hogan (shoulder) and running back James White (ankle) were both limited in practice Wednesday. Both players are expected to play after sitting out in Week 17, although both are extremely risky options for fantasy owners. Hogan has played just once since Week 8 and had one catch. He'll have […]
Keith Hernandez 7 years agoMike Gillislee, Malcolm Mitchell Absent Wednesday
New England Patriots running back Mike Gillislee (knee) and wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell (knee) remained out of practice Wednesday.

Mitchell remains on Injured Reserve, and […]
Keith Hernandez 7 years agoRex Burkhead Still Favoring His Knee

Keith Hernandez 7 years agoDevonta Freeman, Mohamed Sanu Limited In Practice
Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (knee) and wide receiver Mohamed Sanu (knee) were both limited in practice Wednesday. There's no reason to think that either player is in danger of missing the Divisional matchup with the Eagles this weekend. Freeman scored a touchdown in the Wild-Card game and remains Atlanta's lead back, but he'll […]
Keith Hernandez 7 years agoJulio Jones Doesn't Practice Wednesday
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (ankle) did not practice Wednesday. The Falcons are almost certainly letting Jones rest ahead of the Divisional matchup with the Eagles this weekend. Jones is used to playing through nagging injuries by now, and he put up nine catches for 94 yards and a touchdown last week in the […]

Tennessee Titans running back DeMarco Murray (knee), who missed practice again Wednesday, has been ruled out in the Divisional Round this weekend against the Patriots, according to head coach Mike Mularkey.

The New York Mets have spoken recently with the agent for free-agent outfielder Jay Bruce, and they remain a possibility to reunite with him. Twenty nine of Bruce's career-high 36 home runs in 2017 came with the Mets in the first half of the season. Familiarity may be a big selling point if the two […]
Keith Hernandez 7 years agoMatt Ryan Back At Practice
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan, who missed practice Tuesday to attend to a personal matter, is back at practice Wednesday. There's nothing to see here. Ryan will be fine for the Divisional matchup against the Eagles this weekend, where he'll be a sleeper DFS play. Although Ryan disappointed overall in 2017 after earning MVP honors […]
Keith Hernandez 7 years agoKris Richard Not Expected Back In Seattle
Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator Kris Richard is being given the chance to seek other opportunities and isn't expected to return in 2018. Head coach Pete Carroll thinks Richard would benefit from a fresh start with another team, and Richard recently interviewed for the Colts head coaching position.

Keith Hernandez 7 years agoMatt Belisle, Twins Interested In Reunion
The Minnesota Twins and free-agent relief pitcher Matt Belisle are interested in a reunion in 2018, but no deal is close, according to sources.

Keith Hernandez 7 years agoPhillies Avoid Arbitration With Cameron Rupp
The Philadelphia Phillies avoided salary arbitration with catcher Cameron Rupp by agreeing to a one-year, $2.05 million deal, according to a source.

Keith Hernandez 7 years agoVic Fangio Likely To Remain In Chicago
It looks as though new Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy will keep defensive coordinator Vic Fangio in place for the 2018 season. Fangio was a favorite to jump ship and become the Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator, but they are apparently going in another direction. The Bears were an underrated defensive unit in 2017, […]
Keith Hernandez 7 years agoChargers Expected To Keep Gus Bradley
The Los Angeles Chargers are expected to retain defensive coordinator Gus Bradley, according to sources. This will give continuity to a unit that really excelled in 2017, especially down the stretch. The Chargers have perhaps two of the best pass-rushing linebackers in Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram, and they should be a top-five fantasy defensive […]

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Brad Brach is changing his offseason workout routine to include more long-distance running in order to remain more effective deep into the season.

New York Jets offensive coordinator John Morton, who was rumored to be a candidate to join head coach Jon Gruden's staff in Oakland, will remain in New York as the offensive coordinator in 2018.
