Josh Allen BUF QBBills' Josh Allen: Less than 100 percent
5h agoAllen was cleared from a concussion during Sunday's loss to the Texans, but he admitted after the game he was in some pain. "Big shot to the chest. Rolled my ankle. They flagged me for hitting my head, but felt good enough to go back in," Jonathan Acosta of WGRZ reports.
Allen hit the turf so hard that it was almost a surprise he didn't suffer a worse head injury, though it -- as well as his ankle and chest pain -- will still be worth monitoring throughout the week as the Bills prepare for a Monday Night Football showdown against the Jets. Allen clearly struggled throughout this game, hitting on just nine of 30 pass attempts. If there's a bright side, it's that Allen is the NFL's only quarterback to throw more than 100 passes this season without a pick.

Jake Ferguson DAL TECowboys' Jake Ferguson: Goes for 70 yards in win
5h agoFerguson corralled six of seven targets for 70 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Steelers.
Ferguson continued his recent string of strong play Sunday, bringing his three-game average up to 6.3 receptions and 71.3 yards. The Wisconsin product has yet to hit paydirt this season after scoring five times in 2023, but he remains an integral part of Dallas' passing attack. Ferguson remains a startable option in all fantasy formats heading into a Week 6 tilt against the Lions next Sunday.

Jalen Tolbert DAL WRCowboys' Jalen Tolbert: Steps up sans starter
5h agoTolbert finished with seven receptions (10 targets) for 87 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Steelers.
Tolbert saw his role on offense elevated while filling in for injured starter Brandin Cooks (knee) on Sunday. The former wound up being the hero of Sunday's victory by catching the game-winning touchdown pass with seconds remaining in regulation. Even more impressive is the fact that Tolbert appeared to injure his hand on the previous play, forcing Dallas to use its final timeout so the wideout could remain in the game. Cooks was shifted to injured reserve this weekend, so Tolbert could maintain his elevated role as the No. 2 behind CeeDee Lamb indefinitely, assuming Tolbert's injury was minor.

Rico Dowdle DAL RBCowboys' Rico Dowdle: Shines in SNF victory
5h agoDowdle rushed 20 times for 87 yards while catching both of his targets for 27 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Steelers.
Dowdle went over the century mark in yards from scrimmage while catching his second touchdown in as many weeks on Sunday Night Football. The 26-year-old was quietly leading a poor Dallas rushing attack in touches leading up to his breakout Sunday, so savvy fantasy managers may have already snagged him off the wire. If not, make sure to put in a claim for Dowdle ahead of next Sunday's tilt against the Lions, as it has become apparent that he is the starting running back for the Cowboys this season.
-
CeeDee Lamb DAL WRCowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Modest numbers on six touches
5h agoLamb had five receptions (nine targets) for 62 yards while adding one rush for three yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Steelers.
Lamb didn't have a standout performance on Sunday Night Football, and teammates Rico Dowdle and Jalen Tolbert collected both of Dak Prescott's touchdown passes in the comeback victory. The 25-year-old Lamb has produced a 25-378-2 receiving line through five games with Dallas this year as the team prepares to host Detroit next Sunday.

Dak Prescott DAL QBCowboys' Dak Prescott: Leads team to comeback victory
6h agoPrescott completed 29 of 42 pass attempts for 352 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions while adding three rushing yards on one attempt in Sunday's 20-17 win over Pittsburgh.
A lengthy weather delay and slow start on offense had the Cowboys in danger of falling to 2-3 on the season. Prescott carried the team in the second half, throwing two touchdowns to lift his team past a difficult defense on the road. The 31-year-old connected with Jalen Tolbert on his second scoring strike in the closing moments of Sunday night's win. Prescott has thrown for two touchdowns and no interceptions for three weeks running, eclipsing 350 passing yards in two of those three contests. The 3-2 Cowboys will prepare to face the Lions in a home tilt next Sunday.

Xander Bogaerts SD 2BPadres' Xander Bogaerts: Exits early with hamstring injury
7h agoBogaerts (hamstring) exited Sunday's 10-2 win over the Dodgers in the eighth inning due to a hamstring injury, Sam Dykstra of MiLB.com reports.
Bogaerts launched a solo home run in the top of the eighth inning before exiting the contest soon after with what has been described as a hamstring cramp. Tyler Wade replaced him at shortstop ahead of the bottom of the frame. Bogaerts finished his night 1-for-4 with the solo shot, and his availability moving forward doesn't seem to be in question.

Walker Buehler LAD SPDodgers' Walker Buehler: Set to start Game 3
7h agoBuehler is expected to start Game 3 of the NLDS versus the Padres on Tuesday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.
Buehler will toe the rubber in Game 3 after producing a 4.44 ERA and 1.41 WHIP with 25 strikeouts over 26.1 innings in five starts in September. The right-hander owns a 2.94 ERA with 101 strikeouts over 79.2 innings in 15 career postseason starts. He'll look to bring his best stuff Tuesday with the series knotted up at one game apiece.

Freddie Freeman LAD 1BDodgers' Freddie Freeman: Dealing with ankle soreness
9h agoFreeman (ankle) left Sunday's contest against the Padres early with right ankle discomfort, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Freeman made his return to the lineup in Saturday's victory over San Diego in Game 1 of the NLDS after missing the final three games of the regular season with a right ankle sprain, but it appears to still be bothering the first baseman. Freeman's injury typically takes a month or more to heal completely, so it's not surprising that he's still working through it. The 35-year-old's status for Tuesday's Game 3 in San Diego is something to monitor moving forward.

Dodgers' Freddie Freeman: Exits early Sunday
9h agoFreeman (undisclosed) exited Sunday's game against the Padres in the sixth inning, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.
Freeman was able to return to the lineup Saturday after missing the final three games of the regular season with a right ankle injury. It's unclear if that is why he left Sunday's matchup early, but his night came to a close after he went 0-for-2 with a strikeout at the plate. Enrique Hernandez entered the lineup at third base, batting fourth, while Max Muncy shifted over to first base.
-
Nestor Cortes NYY SPYankees' Nestor Cortes: Catch goes well
13h agoCortes (elbow) played catch Sunday, which went well according to Yankees' pitching coach Matt Blake, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Cortes is working his way back from a left elbow flexor strain, and he's hopeful to pitch in the ALCS if New York is able to advance. His ability to throw with no issues Sunday is promising, and his next step will depend on how he responds Monday.
-
Donovan Solano SD 3BPadres' Donovan Solano: Sitting in Game 2
14h agoSolano is not in the lineup Sunday for Game 2 of the NLDS against the Dodgers.
He had started the last three games dating back to the regular season, but Solano heads to the bench in this one against righty Yu Darvish. David Peralta enters the lineup in his place, starting at designated hitter and batting eighth.
-
Jordan Goodwin MEM SGLakers' Jordan Goodwin: Didn't play Sunday
6h agoGoodwin (hamstring) didn't play in Sunday's 118-114 preseason loss to the Suns.
Goodwin missed a second straight game to open the preseason as he continues to nurse a hamstring injury. A timetable for his return remains unclear, but his next opportunity to suit up is Thursday in Milwaukee.

Tristan Vukcevic WAS PFWizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Scores 10 points in limited action
8h agoVukcevic registered 10 points (4-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and one rebound across eight minutes during Sunday's 125-98 preseason loss to the Raptors.
Vukcevic was one of four Wizards players to score in double digits Sunday despite playing just eight minutes off the bench. The 2023 second-round pick spent most of his rookie year playing overseas and didn't join the Wizards until mid-March. Vukcevic will likely spend most of the 2024-25 season in the G League, but he'll use the preseason to make a case to stick around on the Wizards' 15-man roster for the start of the regular season.
-
Alex Sarr WAS CWizards' Alex Sarr: Efficient in preseason debut
8h agoSarr tallied 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt), four assists, three rebounds and one block across 22 minutes during Sunday's 125-98 preseason loss to Toronto.
The No. 2 overall pick was the second-leading scorer for the Wizards on Sunday behind Jordan Poole (16). Sarr had some shooting struggles during the Summer League, but he was efficient in the preseason opener. Sarr should be starting in the frontcourt alongside Jonas Valanciunas and Kyle Kuzma to start the 2024-25 campaign.

D.J. Carton TOR PGRaptors' D.J. Carton: Logs 19 minutes in preseason
8h agoCarton recorded seven points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three assists, one rebound and a steal across 19 minutes during Sunday's 125-98 preseason win over the Wizards.
Carton missed 20 games to close the 2023-24 campaign due to a right ankle sprain, but he returned to action to kick off the preseason. Carton appeared in just four games last season, averaging 2.8 points, 1.0 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 9.0 minutes per contest. It figures to be an uphill battle for the 23-year-old pro to see a significant role this season.
-
Jordan Poole WAS SGWizards' Jordan Poole: Leads starters with 16 points
8h agoPoole finished Sunday's 125-98 preseason loss to the Raptors with 16 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six assists and one rebound over 22 minutes.
Poole was the leading scorer for the Wizards on Sunday and second for the game behind RJ Barrett (shoulder). Poole had a volatile 2023-24 campaign, and he finished his first season with the Wizards averaging 17.4 points on 41.3 percent shooting (including 32.6 percent from three on 7.2 3PA/G), 4.4 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 1.1 steals across 30.1 minutes per game. Poole is slated to serve as Washington's primary ballhandler to start the 2024-25 season.

RJ Barrett TOR SFRaptors' RJ Barrett: Will have shoulder evaluated Monday
8h agoHead coach Darko Rajakovic told reporters after Sunday's 125-98 preseason win over the Wizards that Barrett will have his right shoulder re-evaluated in Toronto on Monday, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Barrett left in the second quarter of Sunday's game after injuring his right shoulder while attempting to go around a Jonas Valanciunas screen. The results of Monday's evaluation will give a better sense of Barrett's availability for the rest of the preseason. The Raptors will go on the road for a rematch with the Wizards on Friday.

Mikey Eyssimont TB CLightning's Michael Eyssimont: Making progress
10h agoCoach Jon Cooper said Sunday that Eyssimont (lower body) could be ready for the start of the season, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Eyssimont has been dealing with a lower-body injury for several weeks, but he is close to full strength after shedding his non-contact jersey at Friday's practice. The 28-year-old will fill a bottom-six role with the Lightning when he's ready to go.
-
Luke Glendening TB CLightning's Luke Glendening: Sheds non-contact jersey
10h agoGlendening (undisclosed) practiced in a regular jersey Sunday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Glendening has been limited for most of training camp due to an undisclosed injury, but he returned to practice in a non-contact jersey Friday. He increased his workload Sunday, and coach Jon Cooper said that he hopes Glendening will be available for Opening Night against Nashville on Monday. Even if Glendening is unable to suit up for the regular-season opener, it seems unlikely that he'll have a significant absence to begin the year.

Red Wings' Elmer Soderblom: Sent down Sunday
10h agoSoderblom was assigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Sunday.
Soderblom garnered 29 points in 61 regular-season outings with AHL Grand Rapids in 2023-24. The 23-year-old's last appearance in the NHL came with Detroit during the 2022-23 campaign. The Swedish forward showed a sliver of promise in his lone season with the Red Wings -- he logged five goals and three assists in 21 regular-season appearances.

Lightning's Conor Geekie: Sees workload increase in practice
10h agoGeekie saw a bigger role as the right wing on the third line while also working with the second-team power-play unit during Sunday's practice session, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Geekie said Sunday that he hasn't yet been told whether he's made Tampa Bay's Opening Night roster, but he seems to be trending toward beginning the year with the Lightning following a solid camp. Coach Jon Cooper said that Geekie hasn't given the team any excuses to send him down, and he's impressed over the past few weeks. Geekie was suspended for Friday's preseason game against Carolina but will be available for the start of the regular season.
-
Marco Kasper DET C
Red Wings' Marco Kasper: Sent to minors
11h agoKasper was assigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Sunday.
Kasper had a strong preseason with Detroit -- the 20-year-old notched three points in four appearances to go along with 11 shots on goal. The 2022 No. 8 overall pick could push Detroit's hand if he continues his strong play with the Griffins this season.

Michael Callahan BOS D
Bruins' Michael Callahan: Headed to Providence
11h agoCallahan was assigned to AHL Providence on Sunday.
Callahan was drafted in the fifth round of the 2018 NHL Entry Draft by the Coyotes, but he never signed with the now defunct club. The 25-year-old will continue developing his game with the Providence Bruins -- the left-shot blueliner registered 17 points in 70 regular-season outings with the team last season.
