Justin Reid Out For The Season

Houston Texans standout safety Justin Reid (hand) will miss the rest of the 2020 season after suffering a hand injury in the Week 14 loss to the Bears, according to a source. Reid's loss will be a big one for the final three games of the regular season, as he had 83 tackles and two […]

Calais Campbell Set To Play Monday On Limited Snap Count

Baltimore Ravens defensive lineman Calais Campbell (calf) is expected to play Monday against Cleveland, although he's unlikely to see a full allotment of defensive snaps as he continues to battle a calf injury. Campbell was limited to just 29 percent of the Ravens Defense plays last week, but his presence should further entrench the group […]

Jamal Adams Makes NFL History

Seattle Seahawks defensive back Jamal Adams raised his sack total to 8.5 on the season in the blowout win over the Jets in Week 14, breaking the record for most sacks in a single season by a defensive back. Adams has missed some time this year due to injury in his first season in Seattle, […]

Khalil Mack Will Play Against Texans

Chicago Bears defensive end Khalil Mack (shoulder) will play against the Texans in Week 14. Mack ramped up his practice activity to limited on Friday, which was a good sign as he'll ultimately be out there against Houston. The Chicago pass defense has struggled in recent weeks, though Mack has done his part with 6.5 […]

Carlos Dunlap To Be Game-Time Decision

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that defensive end Carlos Dunlap (foot) will be a game-time decision in Week 14 against the Jets. Dunlap didn't practice all week and was officially listed as questionable. The former Bengals pass-rusher played through the injury in Week 13, but he recorded just one tackle on 41 percent […]

Khalil Mack Questionable For Bears Defense

Chicago Bears linebacker Khalil Mack (shoulder) was limited in practice on Friday and is questionable for Week 14 against the Texans. Mack should be able to play this weekend against Houston, but more concerning is the fact that he didn't have a single tackle while playing 81 percent of the defensive snaps in last week's […]

Tyrann Mathieu Questionable To Face Dolphins

Kansas City Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu (hip) is questionable for Week 14 against the Dolphins. Mathieu popped up on the injury report on Friday and was able to get in a limited practice, so he has a chance to be active.

Daniel Jones, Blake Martinez Questionable To Face Cardinals

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (hamstring), defensive back Darnay Holmes (knee), linebacker Blake Martinez (back) and offensive tackle Matt Peart (ankle) are questionable for Week 14 against the Cardinals.

Eric Kendricks Won't Play Against Buccaneers

Minnesota Vikings linebacker Eric Kendricks (calf) has been ruled out for Week 14 against the Buccaneers. Kendricks will be missing his second straight game with the leg injury. He's been a top-five fantasy linebacker in IDP leagues this year, so fantasy managers will need to go in another direction. Kendricks has 69 total tackles, six […]

Curtis Samuel, Shaq Thompson Activated From COVID-19 List

The Carolina Panthers activated wide receiver Curtis Samuel, linebacker Shaq Thompson and defensive tackle Derrick Brown from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday.

Carlos Dunlap Misses Practice Wednesday

Seattle Seahawks defensive end Carlos Dunlap (foot) was listed as not practicing on Wednesday. Dunlap was a game-time decision last week against the Giants but played and registered only one assist on 41 percent of the defensive snaps. The former Bengals pass-rusher has 13 tackles (five for loss), eight QB hits and 3.5 sacks in […]

Kyle Rudolph, Eric Kendricks Miss Practice

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph (foot) and linebacker Eric Kendricks (calf) did not get on the practice field on Wednesday. Rudolph was injured in the Week 13 win over the Jaguars and whiffed on his only two targets. He could also join Irv Smith Jr. on the sidelines this weekend against the Buccaneers, which […]

Billy Winn Lands On Injured Reserve With Triceps Injury

Green Bay Packers defensive tackle Billy Winn (triceps) was placed on Injured Reserve on Tuesday, putting him out for at least the next three weeks. With that in mind, the team does not believe that he'll be forced to miss the remainder of the season, as there is no tear in his triceps, giving him […]

Anthony Averett Rejoins Ravens Defense For Tuesday’s Game

Baltimore Ravens cornerback Anthony Averett (shoulder) was activated off Injured Reserve prior to Tuesday's game versus the Cowboys, paving the way for him to make his first on-field appearance since Week 6. In addition to the return of Averett, the team elevated Pierre Desir from the practice squad, giving the Ravens Defense ample options in […]

Calais Campbell Expected To Return Tuesday Night

Baltimore Ravens defensive linemen Calais Campbell (calf) and Brandon Williams (ankle) are expected to return to the starting lineup on Tuesday night against the Cowboys. Both players were listed as questionable heading into the Week 13 game after missing the team's Week 12 loss to the Steelers after also appearing on the Reserve/COVID-19 list. Campbell […]

Bills Defense Gets Matt Milano Back For Monday’s Game

Buffalo Bills linebacker Matt Milano (pectoral) has been activated from Injured Reserve, paving the way for him to take the field for Monday's contest against San Francisco. Milano has totaled 21 tackles and 1.5 sacks in five games (three starts) this year and is expected to reprise his role as tackling extraordinaire for the Bills […]

Emmanuel Moseley, K’Waun Williams Out For Monday’s Game

San Francisco 49ers cornerbacks Emmanuel Moseley (hamstring) and K'Waun Williams (ankle) have been ruled out for Monday's game against the Bills, creating a chasm in the team's secondary when it comes to covering the slot.

Shawn Williams, Teair Tart Draw One-Game Suspensions

Cincinnati Bengals safety Shawn Williams and Tennessee Titans defensive tackle Teair Tart were both tagged with a one-game suspension Monday following incidents in Week 13 which involved both players stepping on an opponent.

Jadeveon Clowney To Have Season-Ending Surgery

Tennessee Titans defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (knee) had season-ending knee surgery on Wednesday to repair his left meniscus. The team originally thought that Clowney would be able to return after placing him on Injured Reserve though that will not be the case. It's a disappointing end to the season for the pass-rusher, who signed a […]

Mark Ingram II, Calais Campbell Activated From COVID-19 List

The Baltimore Ravens activated running back Mark Ingram II and defensive ends Calais Campbell and Jihad Ward from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Saturday. Ingram missed the Week 12 loss to the Steelers after testing positive for the virus. However, his role in the backfield was already being diminished prior to last week, making him one […]

Steelers Activate Stephon Tuitt From COVID-19 List

The Pittsburgh Steelers activated defensive end Stephon Tuitt from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Saturday. Tuitt has 31 tackles and seven sacks in 10 games and has also forced two fumbles and has two passes defensed.

Pittsburgh Activates Stephon Tuitt Off COVID-19/Reserve List

Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Stephon Tuitt (COVID-19 list) was activated off of the COVID-19/reserve list Saturday, paving the way for a potential return to action in Week 13 for Monday's game versus Washington.

Carlos Hyde, Carlos Dunlap Questionable

Seattle Seahawks running back Carlos Hyde (ankle) and defensive end Carlos Dunlap (foot) are listed as questionable for Week 13 against the Giants. Hyde got in a limited practice on Friday, so we'd anticipate him playing on Sunday. Dunlap missed practice all week, so he's definitely on the wrong side of questionable for a great […]

Colts Activate DeForest Buckner From COVID-19 List

The Indianapolis Colts activated defensive tackle DeForest Buckner from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday, and he's eligible to play in Week 13 against the Texans. Without Buckner and sack leader Denico Autry on the defensive line last week, Derrick Henry and the Titans ran all over the Colts Defense and imposed their will. Both Buckner […]

Khalil Mack Expected To Play Sunday

Chicago Bears linebacker Khalil Mack (back) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday, but head coach Matt Nagy said Mack was held out as a precaution and is expected to play in Week 13 against the Lions.

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said that he expects standout defensive end Myles Garrett to play in Week 13 against the Titans, barring any setbacks.
