Nico Collins HOU WRTexans' Nico Collins: No practice Wednesday
1h agoCollins (concussion) isn't practicing Wednesday, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
While attempting to corral a C.J. Stroud pass in the third quarter of Monday's wild-card win at Pittsburgh, Collins wasn't able to brace himself as his helmet went directly into the turf. He remained on the field for a spell and then was carted from the sideline to the locker room, after which he was diagnosed with a concussion. With a short week to prepare for Sunday's divisional-round game in New England, Collins may be hard-pressed to gain clearance from the protocol for head injuries to be able to play this weekend, but he at least has chances Thursday and Friday for on-field work before then.

Christian Gonzalez NE CBPatriots' Christian Gonzalez: Looks to practice Wednesday
2h agoGonzalez (concussion) is expected to practice Wednesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
The Patriots' starting cornerback suffered a concussion in the second half of last Sunday's playoff win over the Chargers. Gonzalez's ability to practice Wednesday means he is likely ready to continue progressing the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in the hopes of being set to suit up for Sunday's divisional round matchup with the Texans.

Maxwell Hairston BUF CBBills' Maxwell Hairston: Absent again
2h agoHairston (ankle) was not on the field during Wednesday's practice, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Hairston was unable to participate in the Bills' wild-card victory over the Jaguars last Sunday due to an ankle injury that kept him out of practice during the week. The rookie cornerback has continued the trend of non-participation through Week 20, missing consecutive practices to start the week. Unless Hairston can upgrade his participation level in Thursday's session, he will likely miss the Bills' divisional round matchup with the Broncos on Saturday as well.
-
Javon Baker SF WRJavon Baker: Cut from practice squad
2h agoThe 49ers cut Baker from the practice squad Wednesday.
Baker was signed to the practice squad Dec. 9, and has been cut without being elevated to the active roster for any games. The 23-year-old wide receiver is a potential acquisition for several teams in need of wide receiver depth as the postseason continues.
-
Hayden Rucci MIA TEHayden Rucci: Signed to practice squad
2h agoThe 49ers signed Rucci to the practice squad Wednesday.
Rucci had a tryout with the team Tuesday, and the tight end has officially joined the practice squad in anticipation of the 49ers' divisional round matchup with the Seahawks. With starting tight end George Kittle (Achilles) suffering a season-ending injury in last Sunday's playoff win over the Eagles, Rucci will add depth to the position group. The 24-year-old is a strong candidate for elevation to the active roster ahead of Saturday's game against the Seahawks.
-
Ihmir Smith-Marsette NYG WRCardinals' Ihmir Smith-Marsette: Signs with Arizona
2h agoThe Cardinals signed Smith-Marsette to a one-year deal Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Smith-Marsette spent the 2025 season as a member of the Giants' practice squad and was not elevated for any games. The return specialist played in 15 games for the Giants during the 2024 campaign, logging 381 kick return yards and 228 punt return yards over 135 special-teams snaps.
-
Ranger Suarez PHI SPRed Sox's Ranger Suarez: Lands five-year deal with Boston
1h agoThe Red Sox signed Suarez to a five-year, $130 million contract Wednesday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
After watching Alex Bregman walk out the door, the Red Sox have pivoted to further bolstering their rotation with Suarez. The left-hander has never thrown more than 157.1 innings in a regular season, but Suarez boasts a 3.25 ERA over 143 regular-season appearances since the beginning of the 2021 campaign. Suarez also has an excellent postseason track record, having collected a 1.48 ERA and 44:13 K:BB across 42.2 frames.
-
Mickey Gasper MIN 1BTwins' Mickey Gasper: Cleared from 40-man roster
1h agoThe Twins designated Gasper for assignment Wednesday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Vidal Brujan, who was claimed off waivers. Gasper slashed only .158/.257/.232 over 45 contests with the Twins in 2025, but his ability to play catcher, first base, second base and left field could attract the interest of clubs via the waivers process.
-
Vidal Brujan ATL 2BTwins' Vidal Brujan: Claimed off waivers by Twins
1h agoThe Twins claimed Brujan off waivers from Atlanta on Wednesday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
Brujan has yet to show much of anything offensively at the major-league level, slashing .199/.267/.276 across parts of five seasons. He is able to play all over the diamond, giving the Twins defensive versatility off the bench.
-
Jhonkensy Noel BAL OFOrioles' Jhonkensy Noel: Remains in organization
1h agoThe Orioles outrighted Noel to Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.
Noel was booted off the Orioles' 40-man roster last week shortly after being claimed off waivers. He passed through waivers this time around and will remain in the organization. Noel has slashed .193/.242/.401 with 19 home runs over 351 regular-season plate appearances at the major-league level.
-
Jose Urena LAA SPJose Urena: Signs with Japanese team
6h agoThe Rakuten Golden Eagles of Nippon Professional Baseball signed Urena to a contract Wednesday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Urena will try his luck overseas after bouncing around to several major-league organizations over the past few years. The 34-year-old pitched for five different big-league clubs in 2025, posting a 4.58 ERA over six starts and 13 relief outings.
-
Dylan Jasso NYY 1BMarlins' Dylan Jasso: Traded as part of Weathers deal
20h agoThe Yankees traded Jasso to the Marlins on Tuesday alongside Dillon Lewis, Brendan Jones and Juan Matheus in exchange for Ryan Weathers, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.
Jasso spent the entire 2025 campaign at Double-A Somerset, slashing .259/.328/.404 with 13 homers, 77 RBI and 62 runs scored across 537 plate appearances. Switching organizations could enable the 23-year-old infielder to be promoted to Triple-A, but he isn't expected to be a factor in the majors in 2026.
-
Lauri Markkanen UTA PFJazz's Lauri Markkanen: Out with illness
13m agoMarkkanen is out for Wednesday's game against the Bulls due to an illness.
The star forward has a short turnaround if he wants to suit up in time for Thursday's matchup in Dallas. With Markkanen taking a seat Wednesday, Brice Sensabaugh appears to be worth streaming in the majority of fantasy leagues. Kyle Filipowski could also see an uptick in minutes, given that Kevin Love is resting.
-
Jordan Hawkins NO SGPelicans' Jordan Hawkins: Plays 22 minutes off bench
1h agoHawkins recorded six points (2-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and one block over 22 minutes during Tuesday's 122-116 loss to the Nuggets.
Hawkins could continue to see his minutes creep into the 20s until Herbert Jones is fully recovered from an ankle sprain. Even so, Hawkins hasn't reached double figures in scoring since the Dec. 2 loss to Minnesota and remains mostly out of fantasy conversations.
-
Ryan Rollins MIL SGBucks' Ryan Rollins: Decent effort in defeat
1h agoRollins provided 11 points (5-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists and one block over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 139-106 loss to the Timberwolves.
Rollins bounced back in the scoring department after posting a season-low two points in Monday's loss to Denver. The guard has averaged 13.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 33.8 minutes per contest through six games this month.
-
Jaylen Clark MIN SGTimberwolves' Jaylen Clark: Muted role continues
1h agoClark ended with four points (2-6 FG), six rebounds, two assists and two steals across 18 minutes during Tuesday's 139-106 victory over Milwaukee.
Head coach Chris Finch has often deployed a tight rotation throughout 2025-26, which has kept Clark from logging at least 20 minutes in all but five of his 38 appearances. Unless Finch shows more of a tendency to rely on his bench, Clark should remain hard-pressed for fantasy relevance.
-
Ariel Hukporti NY CKnicks' Ariel Hukporti: Iffy for Wednesday
1h agoHukporti is questionable for Wednesday against the Kings with a right quadriceps strain.
Hukporti is not typically a rotation player for the Knicks when the team is close to full strength, so this news is unlikely to have a big fantasy impact.
-
Gui Santos GS SFWarriors' Gui Santos: Busy off bench in rout
1h agoSantos finished with six points (2-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt), four rebounds, six assists and four steals over 21 minutes during Tuesday's 119-97 win over Portland.
The six dimes and four swipes are both season highs for Santos, who saw a bump in minutes amid Tuesday's rout. The forward has logged at least 20 minutes just twice through seven games in January, so he remains off the fantasy radar in most leagues.
-
Neal Pionk WPG DJets' Neal Pionk: Placed on injured reserve
6m agoPionk (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, retroactive to Jan. 13.
Head coach Scott Arniel labeled Pionk as week-to-week earlier Wednesday, so the defenseman's placement on injured reserve isn't particularly surprising. The exact nature of his injury isn't yet clear, and whether he'll be able to return to game action before the Olympic break in February remains to be seen.
-
Corey Perry LA RWKings' Corey Perry: Won't play Wednesday
30m agoPerry (personal) will miss Wednesday's game against Vegas, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.
It will be Perry's third absence in five games for personal reasons. He has 10 goals and 23 points in 37 appearances with the Kings in 2025-26. Los Angeles is expected to dress seven defensemen Wednesday, and Jacob Moverare is set to draw back into the lineup.
-
Elias Salomonsson WPG D
Jets' Elias Salomonsson: Called up from AHL
1h agoSalomonsson was recalled from AHL Manitoba on Wednesday, per Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site.
After Neal Pionk, Haydn Fleury and Colin Miller were all deemed week-to-week Wednesday, Salomonsson was brought up to fill the defensive void in Winnipeg's lineup. Through 25 games with Manitoba this season, the 21-year-old blueliner has a goal, seven assists and 37 shots on net. The call-up gives Salomonsson another chance to record the first NHL point of his career after failing to do so across four games earlier this season.
-
Morgan Barron WPG CJets' Morgan Barron: Game-time call versus Wild
1h agoAccording to head coach Scott Arniel, Barron (upper body) "could be a player" for Thursday's clash with Minnesota, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.
Barron has missed the Jets' last three outings due to his upper-body issue, but he seems to be trending in the right direction. Prior to getting hurt, the 27-year-old winger was mired in a seven-game goal drought during which he generated two helpers, 14 shots and 16 hits.
-
Darcy Kuemper LA GKings' Darcy Kuemper: Exits ice first Wednesday
1h agoKuemper was the first goalie off the ice Wednesday, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports, indicating he'll be between the pipes at home versus Vegas.
Kuemper has lost three straight outings, going 0-2-1 with a 4.08 GAA and .820 save percentage. Since returning from an upper-body issue, the veteran netminder has conceded four or more goals in four of his six appearances. If Kuemper continues to struggle, the Kings may need to consider giving Anton Forsberg some extra work in order to hold on to a playoff spot.
-
Colin Miller WPG DJets' Colin Miller: Is week-to-week
1h agoMiller (lower body) is considered week-to-week, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports Wednesday.
Miller has an assist in 15 appearances in 2025-26. He was placed on injured reserve Monday because of the injury. Isaak Phillips was recalled from AHL Manitoba on Monday in a move that corresponded with Miller going on IR.
