Another Missed Practice For James O'Shaughnessy

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end James O'Shaughnessy (hip) missed another practice on Thursday. O'Shaughnessy will likely have to return to the practice field on Friday in order to have a shot at playing in Week 17 against the New England Patriots. The Jaguars could have real issues at the tight end position this weekend, with Dan […]

Jack Doyle Misses Another Practice Thursday

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle (ankle, knee) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. If he isn't able to get back on the practice field on Friday, Doyle will likely be ruled out for the Week 17 game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Doyle played only 3% of the offensive snaps in […]

Marquise Goodwin Out Sick Thursday

Chicago Bears wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (illness) was added to the injury report on Thursday after he missed practice with an illness. Goodwin returned in Week 16 for the first time since Thanksgiving and caught two passes for 23 yards in the win over the Seattle Seahawks. The 31-year-old has not been on the fantasy […]

Justin Fields Remains Limited Thursday

Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Justin Fields (ankle) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Fields will probably be questionable on the final injury report for Week 17 against the New York Giants, and head coach Matt Nagy said Fields needs to be pretty healthy in order to play. In other words, […]

Jets Place Tevin Coleman On COVID-19 List

The New York Jets placed running back Tevin Coleman and cornerback Zane Lewis on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday. At this point in the week, it's unlikely that Coleman will be able to clear the league's protocols in order to play in Week 17 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It's great news for fantasy managers […]

Kalif Raymond Placed On COVID-19 List

The Detroit Lions placed wide receiver Kalif Raymond on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday. Raymond follows Josh Reynolds, who was placed on the list earlier this week, and the Lions also placed tight end Brock Wright on the COVID list this week. Raymond is now much more unlikely to clear the league's COVID protocols than […]

Zach Ertz Practicing In Full Ahead Of Week 17

Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz (hamstring) put in a full practice on Thursday after he was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday. Ertz has been listed on the injury report with a hamstring for several weeks, but he hasn't missed any time and will be available in Week 17 against the Dallas Cowboys. […]

Rondale Moore Returns To Practice

Arizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver Rondale Moore (ankle) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after he missed Wednesday's session. Moore is trending towards a return this Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys after he was inactive for the Christmas Day loss to the Indianapolis Colts last Saturday. The 21-year-old wideout will likely serve as the […]

James Conner Doesn't Practice Thursday

Updating a previous report, Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (heel) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. It was reported earlier on Thursday that Conner was taking part in the portion of practice open to the media, but he wasn't officially listed as practicing. Conner missed the Week 16 loss to the […]

Tyler Conklin Limited Thursday

Minnesota Vikings tight end Tyler Conklin (hamstring) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after he was held out on Wednesday. The return to practice puts Conklin in line to be able to suit up on Sunday night against the Green Bay Packers unless he suffers a setback on Friday. And with wide receiver Adam […]

Dalvin Cook Returns To Full Practice Thursday

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (illness) returned to a full practice on Thursday after he was limited in his first session on Wednesday since coming off the COVID-19 list. Cook was forced to miss the Week 16 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, but he'll be back for Sunday night's big matchup with the […]

A.J. Brown Held Out Of Practice Thursday

Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown (calf) was held out of practice on Thursday as more of a precautionary move than anything, and he's still on track to play on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins. Brown has dealt with some lower-body injury issues this year, mainly a hamstring that put him on Injured Reserve, so […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Missing Another Practice

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (thumb) is not in his practice attire during the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday and is off to the side talking to a team doctor. It looks like Garoppolo will miss his second practice of the week due to a Grade 3 sprain of his […]

Antonio Brown Misses Practice Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown (ankle) went from being limited in practice on Wednesday to no practice at all on Thursday. Mid-week downgrades on the practice report are usually a bad sign, but the Buccaneers could be resting the 33-year-old after he returned from a long layoff last week to catch 10 passes […]

Ben Roethlisberger Sits Out Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (pectoral, shoulder) did not take part in the team's first practice of the week on Thursday. Roethlisberger has been held out of early practices for most of the year, so there's really nothing to see here. Expect him to get back on the practice field in the next couple of […]

Pat Freiermuth Practicing In Full

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie tight end Pat Freiermuth (concussion) is practicing in full on Thursday, which means he's well on his way to clearing the league's concussion protocol and returning in Week 17 against the Cleveland Browns on Monday night. Freiermuth suffered a concussion in Week 15 and was held out in last week's loss to […]

Andrew Whitworth Back From COVID-19 List

The Los Angeles Rams activated left tackle Andrew Whitworth from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday. Whitworth landed on the COVID list on Christmas Day last Saturday and didn't play in the Week 16 win over the Minnesota Vikings. The 40-year-old veteran will be back this Sunday to face the Baltimore Ravens, which is good news […]

Gary Brightwell Lands On Injured Reserve

The New York Giants placed rookie running back Gary Brightwell (neck) and offensive tackle Matt Peart (knee) on Injured Reserve on Thursday. Offensive tackle Nate Solder was also activated off the Reserve/COVID-19 list. Brightwell injured his neck in Week 15 and was unable to return last week. With just two games left in the season, […]

Emmanuel Sanders Downgraded At Practice Thursday

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (knee) was a DNP at practice on Thursday after he was limited in Wednesday's session. Mid-week downgrades are never a good thing, so Sanders' status is suddenly up in the air for Week 17 against the Atlanta Falcons. The good news for Buffalo is that wideouts Cole Beasley and […]

Kyle Rudolph, Graham Gano Back At Practice Thursday

New York Giants tight end Kyle Rudolph (ankle) and kicker Graham Gano (illness) were both limited practice participants on Thursday after they weren't on the practice field on Wednesday. The return to practice suggests that both Rudolph and Gano will play in Week 17 against the Chicago Bears. However, neither player should be anywhere near […]

Saquon Barkley Back To A Limited Practice Thursday

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) was back to a limited practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Barkley continues to manage an ankle injury, but the Giants don't have any plans to shut him down for the final two games of the regular season. It's been a frustrating season for Barkley […]

Stephon Gilmore Misses Another Practice, Not Expected To Play

Carolina Panthers cornerback Stephon Gilmore (groin) missed a second straight day of practice on Thursday, and head coach Matt Rhule said on Wednesday that Gilmore isn't expected to play in Week 17 against the division-rival New Orleans Saints. It would be a big loss for Carolina's secondary, and their defense could be missing several other […]

Mike Evans Back At Practice On Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) was back at practice running routes for quarterback Tom Brady on Thursday, suggesting that he has been activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list. However, he looks to be fatigued easily in his return. Evans tweaked his hamstring in Week 15 and was inactive in last week's easy win […]

Randall Cobb Designated To Return From Injured Reserve

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb (core) has been designated to return from Injured Reserve after having core muscle surgery around a month ago and was back at practice on Thursday. It's a surprise that Cobb is already back on the practice field, but it's also unlikely that he's activated from IR before Sunday […]

Lamar Jackson Not Practicing Thursday

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) was not practicing on Thursday in the portion open to the media. It comes just one day after he was limping badly in practice on Wednesday when he was listed as limited. It's a downgrade for Jackson, and although the Ravens expected him to return from a two-game absence […]

Parris Campbell Back At Practice

Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay tweeted on Thursday that wide receiver Parris Campbell (foot) is back at practice, which signals that the Colts have designated the 24-year-old to return from Injured Reserve. Campbell won't actually be eligible to play in a game until he's officially activated from IR, but Indy's offense could be getting a […]

Jordan Howard Returns To Practice Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard (stinger) returned to the practice field on Thursday after being listed as DNP for Wednesday's practice. It's unclear the exact level of participation for Howard, but the fact that he was able to get on the practice field is good news for his status in Week 17 against the […]

Patrick Mekari Receives Three-Year Extension

The Baltimore Ravens signed versatile offensive lineman Patrick Mekari to a three-year contract extension that will take him through the 2024 season on Thursday. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Mekari has started 10 games at right tackle this year after finishing as Baltimore's starting center in 2020. "Pat is an easy decision," […]

Nelson Agholor Remains In Concussion Protocol

New England Patriots wide receiver Nelson Agholor (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol and was not spotted at practice on Thursday for the second straight day. Agholor has another day to clear the protocol, but after missing last week's loss to the Buffalo Bills, it seems unlikely at this point that he'll recover in […]

Still No Clyde Edwards-Helaire At Practice Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (shoulder) was absent from practice for the second straight day on Thursday, as expected. As Arrowhead Pride's Pete Sweeney mentioned in his Tweet, it looks like it'll be the Darrel Williams/Derrick Gore show this weekend against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals aren't an easy defense to run against […]
