A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Julio Jones All Limited

Philadelphia Eagles wide receivers A.J. Brown (thigh), DeVonta Smith (knee) and Julio Jones (knee) were all listed as limited participants at Wednesday's practice. All three wideouts should be just fine for the Week 13 showdown against the San Francisco 49ers this Sunday, but their statuses bear watching regardless. Even in a tough matchup against one […]

Breece Hall Shows Up On Week 13 Injury Report

New York Jets running back Breece Hall (hamstring) is on the Week 13 injury report after putting in a limited practice on Wednesday.

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said that there's a possibility that wide receiver Joshua Palmer (knee) will return this year.

Milwaukee Brewers closer Devin Williams was named the 2023 Trevor Hoffman National League Reliever of the Year. It's the second time Williams has won the award after back-to-back lights-out seasons coming out of Milwaukee's bullpen.

Felix Bautista Named AL Reliever Of The Year

Baltimore Orioles closer Felix Bautista has been named the 2023 Mariano Rivera American League Reliever of the Year.

The New York Mets and free-agent right-hander Luis Severino are finalizing a one-year, $13 million deal on Wednesday, according to sources familiar with the deal.

It seems increasingly likely that the San Diego Padres will trade All-Star outfielder Juan Soto this winter, and MLB.com's Mike Petriello believes the New York Yankees are the best fit. He also lists the Blue Jays, Giants, Cubs and Mets as solid fits for the left-handed slugger. Yankee Stadium is clearly built for left-handed hitters, […]

Raheem Mostert Absent From Wednesday's Practice

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (ankle, knee) was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice. The Dolphins have been giving their productive lead back rest early in the week as he manages multiple injuries. As long as Mostert is able to return to practice on Thursday or Friday, he should be fine to continue […]

Tyreek Hill Sitting Out With Ankle Injury

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (ankle) did not participate in the first practice of the week on Wednesday. Hill should be fine, but it's something we'll continue to monitor for the NFL's leading receiver.

Rico Dowdle Good To Go For Week 13

Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle (ankle) was able to practice in full on Wednesday and has been removed from the Week 13 injury report after two limited practices to begin the week.

Myles Garrett, Denzel Ward Not Practicing

Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett (shoulder), cornerback Denzel Ward (shoulder) and safety Juan Thornhill (calf) are all sitting out of practice on Wednesday. Cleveland's defense was beat up entering their Week 12 loss to the Denver Broncos, and then Garrett injured his shoulder and was in a sling on Sunday. Apparently Garrett avoided a […]

Marquise Goodwin Not Practicing

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (concussion) remains sidelined at practice on Wednesday. Goodwin suffered a concussion in the Week 9 win over the Arizona Cardinals and has missed the last three games as a result. It doesn't look like he's any closer to playing in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Rams, although he […]

Joe Flacco Now The Backup In Cleveland

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said that veteran quarterback Joe Flacco, who was just signed last week, is now the backup to rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson (concussion). Thompson-Robinson suffered a concussion in the Week 12 loss to the Denver Broncos and is now in the league's concussion protocol, so Flacco could be thrust into a […]

Dorian Thompson-Robinson In Concussion Protocol

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson (concussion) is in the league's concussion protocol and will not practice on Wednesday. Thompson-Robinson suffered a concussion on a hard hit in the third quarter of the Week 12 loss against the Denver Broncos and was removed from the game in favor of P.J. Walker, who proceeded to fumble […]

Kareem Hunt Won't Practice Wednesday

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt (groin) will not take part in Wednesday's practice. It's unclear if Hunt's groin injury is serious enough to threaten his availability for the Week 13 contest versus the Los Angeles Rams, but the 28-year-old did see only seven carries in the team's Week 12 loss to the Denver Broncos. […]

Bailey Zappe Seeing First-Team Reps At Practice

New England Patriots quarterback Bailey Zappe took multiple first-team QB repetitions at the portion of practice on Wednesday open to the media, with rookie Malik Cunningham behind him.

Marquise Brown, Michael Wilson Miss Practice

AZCardinals.com's Darren Urban said that he did not see Arizona Cardinals wide receivers Marquise Brown (heel) or rookie Michael Wilson (shoulder) on the practice field on Wednesday during the portion open to the media.

Aaron Jones, AJ Dillon Both Missing From Practice

Green Bay Packers running backs Aaron Jones (knee) and AJ Dillon (groin) were both missing from the first practice of the week on Wednesday. Jones suffered a sprained MCL in Week 11 and missed the Thanksgiving Day upset over the Detroit Lions last Thursday as a result. Jones' injury isn't all that serious, but there's […]

Allen Lazard Will Be Active This Sunday

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said that wide receiver Allen Lazard will be active on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 13 after he was a healthy scratch in last Friday's loss to the Miami Dolphins.

Jonathan Taylor Undergoing Thumb Surgery Wednesday

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (thumb) will undergo surgery on his injured right thumb on Wednesday, according to head coach Shane Steichen.

Kenneth Walker III Unlikely To Play In Week 13?

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (oblique) suffered a moderate oblique strain in Week 11 and missed the Thanksgiving night loss to the division-rival San Francisco 49ers last Thursday. Walker has not practiced the first two days of this week, either, leading NFL Network's Ian Rapoport to say that it's probably unlikely that Walker […]

Lions Open Practice Window For Hendon Hooker

The Detroit Lions opened the 21-day practice window for rookie quarterback Hendon Hooker (knee) on Wednesday, meaning the team now has 21 days to officially activate him from the Non-Football Injury list. Hooker continues to recover from a torn left ACL. The Lions opened the season believing that 2023 would basically be a medical redshirt […]

Jerick McKinnon Will Not Practice Wednesday

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that running back Jerick McKinnon (groin) will not practice on Wednesday.
