Jake Ferguson DAL TECowboys' Jake Ferguson: Trending up for Week 14
1h agoFerguson (concussion) participated in Wednesday's bonus walkthrough session, David Moore of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Dallas plays on Monday Night Football in Week 14, so the team didn't have an official practice Wednesday. Nonetheless, it was a positive sign for Ferguson's likelihood of returning to action against the Bengals on Monday that he was able to take part in what Moore deemed a "mock game." Ferguson has missed each of the Cowboys' past two contests after suffering a concussion in Week 11 against Houston, and though it's not clear whether he's been cleared through the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, he'll have had extra time to recover between Weeks 13 and 14 given the upcoming Monday night matchup and the fact that Dallas' previous game was last Thursday.

Deommodore Lenoir SF CB49ers' Deommodore Lenoir: Limited to open week
4h agoLenoir (knee) was a limited participant at San Francisco's practice Wednesday.
Lenoir made his return to practice Wednesday after missing the team's Week 13 loss to the Bills with a knee injury. The cornerback will have two more chances to increase level of participation at practice before Sunday's crucial matchup with the Bears at home.

Talanoa Hufanga SF SAF49ers' Talanoa Hufanga: Logs limited practice Wednesday
4h agoHufanga (wrist) was a limited participant at the 49ers' practice Wednesday.
Hufanga was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, immediately participating in the team's first practice of the week. The safety has missed the last seven contests due to a wrist injury, but he has now taken the first major step towards returning to the field.
-
Dre Greenlaw SF LB49ers' Dre Greenlaw: Limited practice Wednesday
4h agoGreenlaw (Achilles) was a limited participant at the 49ers' practice Wednesday.
Greenlaw continued his stretch of limited practices Wednesday after being designated to return from injured reserve last week. The linebacker has yet to play in 2024 after suffering a torn Achilles in the Super Bowl in February. The linebacker still has nearly two weeks to be added to the active roster if the team intends on having him play this season.
-
Brandin Echols NYJ CBJets' Brandin Echols: Absent from injury report
4h agoEchols (undisclosed) was not listed on the Jets' injury report Wednesday.
Echols was limited to just 15 snaps (two on defense, 13 on special teams) during the Jets' 26-21 loss to the Seahawks this past Sunday due to dehydration. That doesn't appear to be a lingering issue, and the 2021 sixth-round pick should be good to go against the Dolphins on Sunday.
-
Rakeem Nunez-Roches NYG DTGiants' Rakeem Nunez-Roches: Doesn't practice Wednesday
5h agoNunez-Roches (neck) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's injury report.
Nunez-Roches suffered a neck injury during the Giants' Thanksgiving Day loss to the Cowboys this past Thursday. The injury sidelined him for Wednesday's session, and he'll have two more chances to return to practice in at least a limited capacity ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints.

Teoscar Hernandez LAD RFTeoscar Hernandez: Working toward deal with Dodgers
2h agoHernandez and the Dodgers are working to "nail the final details of a contract," David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
No agreement is in place just yet, but bringing back Hernandez would be a significant upgrade to a Dodgers outfield that currently features Tommy Edman, Andy Pages and James Outman. Hernandez slashed .272/.339/.501 in the regular season with a career-high 33 home runs, 84 runs scored and 99 RBI during his first campaign with Los Angeles, and remaining in a lineup that boasts Shohei Ohtani (shoulder), Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts would certainly help Hernandez achieve similar totals in 2025.

Lance Lynn STL SPLance Lynn: Drops 20 pounds
10h agoLynn has lost 20 pounds this offseason after dealing with nagging right knee issues during the 2024 season, Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic report.
Lynn was limited to just 117.1 innings in 2024, which was his lowest full-season total other than in 2016 when he was recovering from Tommy John surgery. The 37-year-old went on the injured list twice with knee problems and decided he needed to drop some weight to take pressure of his knee if he wanted to continue pitching. A free agent, Lynn said he's been "surprised by the number of teams that have called" this offseason to express interest in signing him. The righty held a 3.84 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 109:44 K:BB in 117.1 innings across 23 starts for the Cardinals this past season.
-
Kevin Gowdy TOR PBlue Jays' Kevin Gowdy: Invited to Jays camp
1d agoGowdy signed a minor-league contract with the Blue Jays on Tuesday and received an invitation to spring training.
Gowdy spent all of last season with the Dodgers' Triple-A affiliate, where he logged a 4.56 ERA and 1.57 WHIP over 51.1 innings. The 27-year-old will almost certainly need to improve upon those numbers in spring training to have a shot at making Toronto's Opening Day roster. Otherwise, he'll fill in as organizational depth at Triple-A Buffalo.
-
Evan Phillips LAD RPDodgers' Evan Phillips: Should be ready for spring
1d agoPresident of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said Tuesday that Phillips (arm/shoulder) is feeling "fine" and should be ready to go for spring training, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Phillips dealt with arm fatigue during Game 6 of the NLCS and was left off the Dodgers' World Series roster as a result. He hasn't started up a throwing program since then, but it appears the team isn't concerned about his availability for the start of spring training and Opening Day. The 30-year-old righty turned in a 3.62 ERA and 1.19 WHIP across 54.2 innings in 2024 -- his worst regular-season line since joining the Dodgers in 2021 -- but he figures to continue seeing regular high-leverage opportunities in 2025.

Kris Bubic KC SPRoyals' Kris Bubic: Returning to rotation
1d agoThe Royals intend to move Bubic back into their starting rotation in 2025, per Will Sammon, Katie Woo and Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.
After recovering from a Tommy John procedure he underwent in April 2023, Bubic appeared exclusively out of the bullpen during the final three months of the 2024 campaign. In 27 regular-season appearances, the lefty posted a strong 2.67 ERA and 1.02 WHIP alongside a 39:5 K:BB over 30.1 frames. Assuming the 27-year-old is able to turn in similar numbers during spring training, he should have little trouble securing a spot in the Royals' rotation, which lost some depth after the trade that sent Brady Singer to Cincinnati.
-
Daulton Varsho TOR LFBlue Jays' Daulton Varsho: Could miss Opening Day
1d agoBlue Jays general manager Ross Atkins said Tuesday that expecting Varsho (shoulder) to be ready for Opening Day "could be unrealistic," Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Atkins noted that Varsho isn't behind schedule in his recovery after undergoing surgery on his right shoulder in late September. However, manager John Schneider's original prediction of Varsho being close to full participation for the start of spring training no longer seems likely. A clearer picture regarding the 28-year-old's timeline will emerge as the new season approaches.

Johnny Furphy IND SGPacers' Johnny Furphy: Starts second half in loss
16m agoFurphy provided 12 points (4-9 FG, 4-8 3Pt), seven rebounds and one block over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 99-90 loss to Brooklyn.
Starting the second half in favor of Quenton Jackson, Furphy effectively went for season highs across the board with his 12 points, seven boards and four three-pointers in 25 minutes. The rookie second-rounder hasn't played a clear role in Indiana's rotation this season, appearing in 13 of a possible 23 games, but Wednesday's showing could earn him more minutes from head coach Rick Carlisle's second unit going forward. It's worth noting the Pacers were without Andrew Nembhard (knee) in this one, so it remains to be seen what kind of role Furphy may play when Nembhard is healthy. With that said, fantasy managers can ignore Furphy on waiver wires for the time being.
-
Myles Turner IND CPacers' Myles Turner: Game-high four blocks Wednesday
18m agoTurner logged 11 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and four blocks across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 99-90 loss to the Nets.
Turner registered a game-high four blocks Wednesday, turning in his fourth game in 20 appearances with at least four swats this season. Over his last 10 outings, the 28-year-old sharpshooting big man is shooting 40.0 percent from downtown while averaging 14.9 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.5 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers per game. Turner should remain a steady force for fantasy managers when it comes to triples and blocks moving ahead, and he has an advantageous matchup Friday against the Bulls, a team with the fifth-worst defensive efficiency rating (117.6) in the NBA.
-
Tyrese Haliburton IND PGPacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Productive outing in loss
20m agoHaliburton notched 17 points (5-13 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT), three rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and two steals in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 99-90 loss to the Nets.
Haliburton's struggles shooting the ball in 2024-25 have been well-documented to this point, and while they showed up again in Brooklyn on Wednesday, that didn't stop him from filling up the box score with a strong stat line overall. Although he hasn't quite yet strung together an extended period of shooting efficiency this season after looking like a rising superstar at this time a year ago, with Haliburton shooting a subpar 42.4 percent from the field over his last 15 games, the 24-year-old star guard is still averaging a productive 18.6 points, 8.9 assists, 1.3 steals and 3.3 three-pointers per contest since Nov. 8. Haliburton has a favorable matchup as he looks to bounce back Friday against a Bulls squad allowing the most points per game (123.2) in the league.
-
Pascal Siakam IND PFPacers' Pascal Siakam: Hits double scoring figures again
24m agoSiakam logged 14 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), six rebounds, one block and one steal in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 99-90 loss to the Nets.
It was just the second time in 22 games that Siakam failed to tally an assist for the Pacers this year, but the forward has now scored at least 13 points in each of those appearances. The Pacers have struggled to a 9-14 record after making the Eastern Conference Finals a year ago, but Siakam has remained productive throughout the team's slow start, averaging 20.4 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.2 steals, and 1.4 three-pointers in 35.1 minutes per game over his last 11 contests. The 30-year-old star forward should continue to be a steady fantasy contributor going forward, and a soft matchup with a Bulls team allowing the most points per game (123.2) in the NBA awaits him Friday.
-
Ben Simmons BKN PGNets' Ben Simmons: Dishes out nine assists off bench
27m agoSimmons (back) registered seven points (3-3 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, nine assists, three blocks and two steals over 21 minutes during Wednesday's 99-90 victory over the Pacers.
Simmons was iffy to play with a back injury Wednesday, but he was available off the bench to take on his usual role of facilitating the offense and providing defensive energy, supplying nine assists along with three blocks and two steals. Head coach Jordi Fernandez has shown a willingness to mix and match his starting lineups during the first quarter of the season, which has led to Simmons playing four games as a reserve thus far. Over those four games off the bench, Simmons has averaged 5.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 8.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.8 blocks in 20.5 minutes per contest. It's unclear if the 28-year-old utility man will continue to function from the second unit moving ahead, but Simmons should be able to chip in across the board when healthy for fantasy managers regardless of his role.
-
Nicolas Claxton BKN CNets' Nic Claxton: Efficient night from field in win
29m agoClaxton provided 16 points (7-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-4 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one block over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 99-90 victory over Indiana.
It was an efficient night from the floor for Claxton, who matched his season high in scoring that he set back during the Oct. 29 loss to the Nuggets. The 25-year-old big man's role has fluctuated under head coach Jordi Fernandez this season, and he's also dealt with various injuries, but his production is beginning to stabilize a bit in the past few weeks. Over his last six games (four starts), Claxton is averaging 10.0 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 24.8 minutes per contest while shooting 65.2 percent from the field. While it's also worth noting he knocked down his first three-pointer of the year Wednesday, fantasy managers still shouldn't expect outside scoring to become a habit for Claxton.
-
Trevor Zegras ANA CDucks' Trevor Zegras: Sustains lower-body injury
1h agoZegras (lower body) will not return to Wednesday's game versus the Golden Knights.
Zegras was injured in the second period and ruled out for the game prior to the intermission. He got tangled up with William Karlsson when he sustained the injury. Zegras needed assistance from teammates to get off the ice. If the 23-year-old is unable to play Friday versus the Wild, the Ducks would need to call up a forward.
-
Ilya Samsonov LV GGolden Knights' Ilya Samsonov: In goal Wednesday
3h agoSamsonov will start on the road Wednesday versus the Ducks, per Ducks PA Announcer Phil Hulett
Samsonov has allowed 16 goals over his last four contests, so he's fortunate to go 2-2-0 in that span. Adin Hill has been playing better of late, but Samsonov will get the start Wednesday in the second half of a back-to-back set.
-
Alex Ovechkin WAS LWCapitals' Alex Ovechkin: Skating on his own
5h agoOvechkin (fibula) is skating on his own in a non-contact jersey, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports Wednesday.
This doesn't change Ovechkin's return timeline, but it's encouraging to see him take his first strides in his recovery. The 39-year-old winger is still likely to be out until the second half of December at the earliest. He'll continue to log individual skating sessions until he is cleared to join the full team in practice.
-
Joseph Woll TOR GMaple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Starting at home Wednesday
5h agoWoll will guard the home goal versus the Predators on Wednesday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.
Woll has allowed just nine goals and posted a .938 save percentage during his current five-game winning streak. He'll look to keep his good fortune going against one of the weakest offenses in the league. The Predators have scored just 12 times over their last six games, going 1-3-2 in that span.
-
Jeremy Swayman BOS GBruins' Jeremy Swayman: Tending twine Wednesday
5h agoSwayman will protect the road goal versus the Blackhawks on Wednesday, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.
Swayman has won just two of his last six outings while allowing 19 goals in that span. The 26-year-old will attempt to build off a win in his last start against the Canadiens. The Blackhawks have won just two of their last six games, scoring 17 goals in that span.
-
Travis Boyd MIN CWild's Travis Boyd: Recalled Wednesday
6h agoBoyd was called up from AHL Iowa on Wednesday.
Boyd could get to play during this stint in the NHL, as Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body) is considered week-to-week. If Boyd suits up, he'll likely fill a bottom-six role. He has one hit and two blocked shots over two appearances this season.
