DK Metcalf Expected To Play In Week 3

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (ribs) is "going to make it through the week, he'll be alright," but the team "will take care of him" while he deals with sore ribs, according to head coach Pete Carroll. Metcalf might miss some practice time this week as the team looks to give him some rest […]

Derrick Henry A Limited Practice Participant

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (toe) finds himself on the Week 3 injury report, but he was able to put in a limited practice. Henry must have picked up the toe injury in the Week 2 overtime win over the Los Angeles Chargers, but it doesn't seem like anything that should keep him from […]

Dolphins Not Going To Rush Jaylen Waddle

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol, and the Dolphins aren't going to rush him along. "I'm just I'm not really worried about the timeline," head coach Mike McDaniel said. "I'm more worried about him getting right." It means there's a very real chance he won't suit up in […]

Austin Ekeler Misses Wednesday's Practice

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (ankle) did not take part in Wednesday's practice. Ekeler didn't practice at all last week or play in the Week 2 loss to the Tennessee Titans, and he's not off to a great start this week. Head coach Brandon Staley said on Monday that there's "no timeline" for […]

Brandon Aiyuk Questionable To Play Thursday Night

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (shoulder) is officially listed as questionable to play on Thursday night against the New York Giants to kick off Week 3 action. A CT scan on Monday showed that Aiyuk avoided a broken left collarbone after getting hurt early in the Week 2 win over the Los Angeles […]

Nolan Arenado Getting A Breather Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado is taking the day off on Wednesday against the division-rival Milwaukee Brewers. With Arenado getting a breather, Juniel Querecuto will get the start at third base for the Cards and bat in the eight-hole against Brewers right-hander Adrian Houser. St. Louis is giving the 32-year-old All-Star some rest […]

Randal Grichuk Absent From Angels Lineup

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Randal Grichuk (head) is not in the lineup for the Halos on Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Rays on the road. It shouldn't come as a surprise after Grichuk had to leave Tuesday's contest after being hit in the head by a pitch. The good news is that it was only […]

Christian Yelich On The Bench Again

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (back) remains out of the team's starting lineup on Wednesday with the club facing the Cardinals in St. Louis. Tyrone Taylor is in left field and hitting sixth, Blake Perkins is in center and batting ninth, and Sal Frelick is in right field and in the seven-hole against Cardinals left-hander […]

Brett Baty Returns On Wednesday

New York Mets rookie third baseman Brett Baty (groin) is back at third base and is hitting seventh on Wednesday against the Miami Marlins and right-hander Eury Perez. Baty's return moves infield prospect Ronny Mauricio over to second base and the six-hole. Jeff McNeil is starting in left field and batting fifth. Baty returns to […]

Luis Arraez Out Again For Marlins

Miami Marlins second baseman Luis Arraez (ankle) remains out of the starting lineup again on Wednesday against the visiting New York Mets. Jon Berti will take over at the keystone and will bat eighth in the order against Mets right-hander Kodai Senga. Arraez suffered a sprained left ankle during pre-game workouts on Tuesday and will […]

Mets To Keep Negotiations With Pete Alonso Private

The New York Mets are going to keep contract negotiations with All-Star first baseman Pete Alonso private. "While we understand the media and public interest in player contract situations, we strongly believe in keeping those conversations private. Any circulating reports do not accurately reflect our conversations with Pete," general manager Billy Eppler said in a […]

Giants Put Alex Cobb On 15-Day Injured List

The San Francisco Giants placed right-hander Alex Cobb (hip) on the 15-day injured list on Wednesday and recalled left-hander Kyle Harrison and right-hander Sean Hjelle from Triple-A Sacramento in corresponding moves. The team also placed right-hander Keaton Winn (illness) on the COVID injured list (retroactive to Sept. 19). Cobb has been dealing with a nagging […]

Ryan Mountcastle Goes On Injured List

The Baltimore Orioles placed first baseman Ryan Mountcastle (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with left-shoulder soreness and recalled outfielder Ryan McKenna from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move. Mountcastle had missed the last seven games, so the injured-list move was backdated to Sunday, meaning he is eligible to return a week from […]

Miles Sanders Limited On Wednesday

Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders (pectoral) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Its a new injury for Sanders, but the fact that he was limited in the first practice of the week likely means it's nothing too serious. The former Philadelphia Eagles RB took a step back in Week 2 on […]

Browns Reiterate That Jerome Ford Is Their Lead Back

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski reiterated on Wednesday that running back Jerome Ford "is the lead back." As expected, Cleveland reunited with Kareem Hunt on a one-year deal after Nick Chubb suffered a gruesome season-ending knee injury in the Monday night loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Ford looked great in relief of Chubb on […]

Amari Cooper Not Practicing Wednesday

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper (groin, shoulder) was held out of practice on Wednesday. Cooper was listed as questionable for the Monday night game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but he suited up and led the team with seven receptions (10 targets) for 90 yards in the loss. He apparently picked up a shoulder injury […]

Christian Watson Off To A Good Start This Week

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (hamstring) was able to do individual drills in practice on Wednesday. Watson was held out of the team's first two regular season games due to a hamstring injury that he picked up late in training camp. He was able to put in a limited practice last Friday and […]

Aaron Jones Still Not Practicing

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (hamstring) remains out of practice on Wednesday. Jones tweaked his hamstring after a long touchdown catch-and-run in the season opener in Week 1, didn't practice all of last week and sat out of the Week 2 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Jones isn't off to a great start […]

Saquon Barkley Considered Week-To-Week With Ankle Sprain

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport considers New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) to be truly week-to-week after spraining his ankle in the Week 2 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Head coach Brian Daboll said that Barkley is a "quick healer" and has made "considerable progress" in the last two days, so the Giants haven't […]

Mack Hollins A Desperation Play In Deep Leagues

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Mack Hollins hasn't been non-existent in the Falcons' limited passing game through two weeks, but he also isn't a recommended flex play heading into a pretty juicy matchup against the Detroit Lions on the road. Through the first two games of the 2023 season, Hollins has six receptions on 10 targets […]

Desmond Ridder Has A Good Matchup In Week 3

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder will be facing a Detroit Lions defense in Week 3 on the road that has allowed 25.1 fantasy points per game (fifth-most) to the QB position through two weeks. They also just placed star safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson (pectoral) on Injured Reserve. Ridder hasn't set the world on fire in his […]

Trevor Williams Being Skipped In Rotation

The Washington Nationals are skipping right-hander Trevor Williams' turn in the starting rotation, but manager Dave Martinez said that Williams will make another start next week. The team's weekend rotation against the Atlanta Braves will be Jake Irvin, Patrick Corbin and Joan Adon, with the final starter on Sunday yet to be announced. The 31-year-old […]

MacKenzie Gore's Season Is Over

Washington Nationals manager Dave Martinez confirmed that left-hander MacKenzie Gore's (finger) season is over. The team was close to shutting him down innings-wise anyway, but his blister was the deciding factor. The Nationals put Gore on the 15-day injured list last Saturday due to the blister on one of his left fingers, and now he's […]

Byron Buxton Hopes To Play In Rehab Games Soon

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (knee) has been hitting, throwing and running, and the goal is still to get him back in minor-league rehab games for Triple-A St. Paul. However, the Triple-A season ends this Sunday, so if that's going to happen, it needs to be soon. Buxton received a cortisone injection for his injured […]

Shane Bieber To Start On Friday

Cleveland Guardians right-hander Shane Bieber (elbow) threw a bullpen session in Kansas City on Tuesday that went well enough that the team announced he will make his return from the 60-day injured list to start on Friday against the Baltimore Orioles at home. It will be his first start since July 9 after he was […]

Yordan Alvarez Out Of The Lineup Against O's

Houston Astros outfielder/designated hitter Yordan Alvarez is taking the day off on Wednesday against the visiting Baltimore Orioles. Yainer Diaz will serve as the team's designated hitter and bat sixth, while Jake Meyers draws the start in center field and is hitting eighth against Orioles right-hander Kyle Bradish. It appears to just be a normal […]

Gregory Santos Lands On 15-Day Injured List

The Chicago White Sox placed right-hander Gregory Santos (elbow) on the 15-day injured list on Wednesday with right-elbow inflammation and reinstated left-hander Garrett Crochet (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. The move ends Santos' 2023 season. The 24-year-old reliever hadn't pitched since Sept. 16 and will now be ineligible to return […]

Royce Lewis To Have MRI Exam This Weekend

Minnesota Twins infielder Royce Lewis (hamstring) will have an MRI exam on his injured hamstring when the team returns home this weekend. Lewis tweaked his hamstring in the game on Tuesday night and had to be removed. It's a situation that is yet to be determined, which means he's a candidate to go on the […]

Carlos Correa Placed On Injured List Wednesday

The Minnesota Twins are placing shortstop Carlos Correa (foot) on the injured list on Wednesday and are recalling outfielder Trevor Larnach from the minors in a corresponding move. The good news for Correa is that he's expected to return from the injured list when he's first eligible on Sept. 29 against the Colorado Rockies at […]

Trent Brown, Patriots Agree To Revised Contract

The New England Patriots and offensive tackle Trent Brown agreed to a revised, improved contract on Tuesday with the team adding $2 million worth of incentives to his deal in 2023, making his deal worth up to $13 million total. Brown will still hit free agency at the end of the season. The 30-year-old started […]
