Baker Mayfield Returns To Game

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield is back in Sunday's game against the Houston Texans. Mayfield exited with a shoulder injury after trying to make a tackle on an interception and went to the locker room, but it appears he was just banged up. Keep an eye on him to see if there's any discomfort with […]

Baker Mayfield Hurts Shoulder While Trying To Make Tackle

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield was taken to the locker room with a shoulder injury after trying to make a tackle after throwing an interception. While Mayfield is reportedly back on the sidelines, it's unclear yet if he'll be able to come back into Sunday's game against the Texans or not. Mayfield is 9-for-11 with […]

Andy Dalton Exits With Injury, Justin Fields In

Chicago Bears quarterback Andy Dalton exited Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals with a non-contact injury after Dalton had scrambled for a long run. Justin Fields is in at quarterback. Non-contact leg injuries are always scary, as that usually means an Achilles or a knee issue. Hopefully, Dalton avoids any kind of long-term injury. Dalton […]

Tua Tagovailoa Questionable To Return With Rib Injury

Updating a previous report, Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (rib) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bills with a rib injury. Tagovailoa left the field in pain in the first quarter and was carted to the locker room. It was initially unclear what the injury to Tagovailoa was, but a rib injury seems […]

Tua Tagovailoa Carted Into Locker Room

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was carted into the Dolphins locker room on Sunday. Tagovailoa came out of the game in pain with what looked to be some kind of lower-body injury. He was walking, but was in some clear discomfort after already being sacked three times in the game. The second-year passer has dealt […]

Jason Peters Expected To Play Against Bengals

Chicago Bears left tackle Jason Peters (quadriceps), who is listed as questionable with a quadriceps injury that limited him in practice this week, is expected to play in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals, according to a source. Peters suffered the injury in the Week 1 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, but it looks […]

Eric Fisher Expected To Start Sunday

Indianapolis Colts left tackle Eric Fisher (Achilles), whose recovery from a torn Achilles happened much faster than imagined, is expected to start in Week 2 against the Los Angeles Rams, according to a source. The two-time Pro Bowl tackle will be a much-needed addition to help protect quarterback Carson Wentz's blind side against a very […]

Justin Fields’ Stock Rising Rapidly

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields is expected to see an uptick in snaps during the Week 2 matchup against the Bengals. While Andy Dalton remains the starting signal-caller against his former team, Fields continues to progress faster than anticipated, so it's very likely he'll see more work on Sunday. The rookie looked great during his […]
