San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis (knee) will not play in Week 6 against the Packers on Monday night.

Read More
Corey Clement On Track To Play Thursday
Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement (quadriceps) would have practiced in full had the team held a practice on Monday.

Darren Sproles Missing Practice Monday
Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles (hamstring) wouldn't have practiced on Monday if the team had held a session.

New York Giants rookie running back Saquon Barkley isn't on the initial injury report for Week 6 against the Eagles on Thursday night. He'll be ready to go.

Josh Doctson, Samaje Perine Inactive Monday Night
Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson (heel) and running back Samaje Perine are both inactive for Monday night against the Saints.

Matt Breida Doubtful For Week 6
San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) will not practice Thursday and is doubtful for Week 6 against the Green Bay Packers. The Niners and Packers face off on Monday Night Football so the quick scratch for Thursday’s practice means Breida’s chances of suiting up are slim. He suffered a mid-ankle sprain in Week... Read More
Laquon Treadwell Predictably Disappoints
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Laquon Treadwell had yet another nondescript fantasy day on Sunday in the Minnesota Vikings 23-21 road win over the Philadelphia Eagles.

Allen Robinson Hungry For More In Bears Offense
Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson has racked up 19 receptions for 217 yards and one touchdown through four games this season.

Read More
Tarik Cohen Has Excellent Matchup Against Dolphins
Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen will look to build off of his 174-yard performance in Week 4 against the Dolphins this Sunday.

Patriots Re-Sign Kenjon Barner

Aldrick Rosas On Injury Report
New York Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas (quadriceps) is on the injury report for Week 6 against the Eagles on Thursday.

Evan Engram Has A Shot To Play Thursday
New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said tight end Evan Engram (knee) has a "shot to make it" for Thursday night against the Eagles.

Mitch Trubisky Must Protect Football In Week 6
Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky will face a tough Dolphins secondary in Miami in Week 6.
