New England Patriots rookie wide receiver Demario Douglas (concussion) returned to the team's unofficial practice on Tuesday.

The 22-year-old still must gain full clearance before suiting up in Week […]

New England Patriots offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien said "Yeah. Yes" when asked if quarterback Mac Jones is expected to start in Week 7 against the division-rival Buffalo Bills.

Carson Fulmer, Others Outrighted By Angels

The Los Angeles Angels outrighted right-hander Carson Fulmer, catcher Chad Wallach, outfielder Brett Phillips and pitcher Jhonathan Diaz to Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.

Fulmer, 29, pitched […]

Quentin Johnston Puts Up A Donut Against Cowboys

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Quentin Johnston has failed to capitalize so far with Mike Williams (knee) out for the rest of the season.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. caught two of his three targets for 19 yards in the 20-17 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football. Parham was questionable to play in this game with a sprained wrist he suffered in the Week 4 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, but he […]

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said that wide receiver Diontae Johnson (hamstring) and running back Anthony McFarland Jr. (knee) will take part in practice this week, and the amount of their practice and conditioning level will determine when they are activated from Injured Reserve within the 21-day practice window.

Unlike last year, Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle) is not expected to need surgery for the right high-ankle sprain he suffered in the Week 6 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in London, according to sources.

Frank Reich Handing Over Play-Calling Duties To Offensive Coordinator

Carolina Panthers head coach Frank Reich informed players on Monday that he has decided to hand over play-calling duties moving forward to offensive coordinator Thomas Brown, according to sources.

Minnesota Vikings pass-rusher Marcus Davenport (ankle) suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Week 6 win over the Chicago Bears, according to sources after he underwent an MRI exam.

Houston Astros right-hander Cristian Javier will get the nod in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series on Wednesday in Texas against the Rangers as the Astros look to avoid falling down three games to none in the best-of-seven series.

The 39-year-old future Hall of […]

Zay Jones Misses Walkthrough Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones (knee) was listed as a non-participant for the team's walkthrough practice on Monday. Jones' status was an estimation.

Juwan Johnson Picks Up Another DNP

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson (calf) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report. Johnson injured his calf in pre-game warmups in Week 4 and hasn't played or practiced since. On a short turnaround in Week 7 with a Thursday night matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars, it seems unlikely that Johnson […]

Jamaal Williams Nearing A Return From Injured Reserve?

The New Orleans Saints listed running back Jamaal Williams (hamstring) as limited on Monday's estimated practice report heading into the team's Week 7 contest on Thursday night against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Saints didn't actually practice on Monday, but the fact that Williams was listed as limited suggests that the team could open his 21-day […]

Derek Carr Limited On Monday

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (chest, shoulder) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report. The Saints didn't actually conduct a practice on Monday. Carr suffered an AC joint sprain to his right shoulder in Week 3 but hasn't missed any games. He threw for under 200 yards in each of […]

Chris Olave Listed As Limited Monday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (toe) was listed as a limited participant on the team's estimated practice report on Monday.

Damien Harris Out Of Hospital, In Concussion Protocol

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that running back Damien Harris (concussion, neck) is out of the hospital and is resting at home.

Pat Freiermuth Says He Will Play In Week 7

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth (hamstring) said he will play in Week 7 against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.

Baker Mayfield Has Left-Hand Contusion

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that quarterback Baker Mayfield (hand) injured his left hand (not his shoulder) late in the Week 6 loss to the Detroit Lions, and X-rays came back negative. Mayfield is just dealing with a left-hand contusion and should be able to play this coming Sunday in Week 7 […]

Ryan Tannehill Dealing With High-Ankle Sprain

Updating a previous report, Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle) suffered a high right-ankle sprain in the Week 6 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in London, according to sources. The Titans have a bye in Week 7, which helps, but he could miss some time regardless and his availability is going to be in question […]

Deuce Vaughn A Healthy Scratch For First Time This Year

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Deuce Vaughn is a healthy scratch on Monday night against the Los Angeles Chargers for the first time in his first year in the NFL.
