Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate (back) was pulled from practice on Thursday out of an abundance of caution, according to a source. As of now, Brate plans on playing in Super Bowl LV against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. Mid-week additions to the injury report are usually never a good sign, but it sounds as though the Bucs were just being extremely

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski has nearly been an every-down player for his team during their playoff run. Unfortunately, Gronkowski’s production hasn’t matched his playing time, as he’s only compiled two catches for 43 scoreless yards in the Buccaneers’ three playoff victories. However, Tampa Bay may need more from the veteran tight end as a pass-catcher on Sunday, particularly if Cameron Brate (back),

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin has been the apple of Tom Brady‘s eye down the stretch and in the playoffs. Godwin has seen at least seven targets in each of his last five games, exceeding 79 receiving yards in four of them. That’s the type of volume fantasy managers can depend on when they’re trying to build lineups- and Godwin could potentially see

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has caught a touchdown in each of his last two games heading into the Super Bowl against Kansas City. Evans has also seen at least eight targets in two of his last three contests, so Tom Brady has certainly been looking his way more than any other pass-catcher not named Chris Godwin. With Antonio Brown (knee) banged up,

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II gets a favorable matchup against the Chiefs’ run defense in the Super Bowl. Jones was dealing with a quad injury for a couple of weeks but has had extended time to rest the ailment, meaning he should be at full strength for the big game. The 23-year-old had four 100-yard games in the regular season and finished

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette had a quiet season for his team but has been rolling in the playoffs. Fournette has handled at least 17 touches in each of the Buccaneers’ three playoff games and has exceeded 100 scrimmage yards in two of those contests. He’s also found the end zone six times in as many games. Fournette has actually seen fewer touches

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady will suit up in his 10th Super Bowl on Sunday against the Chiefs. Brady owns 18 career touchdowns against six interceptions in the big game and has thrown for at least 250 yards and two scores in four of his last five Super Bowls. While Tampa Bay likely doesn’t want to get into a back-and-forth affair with the Kansas

The Las Vegas Raiders re-signed quarterback Nathan Peterman to a one-year contract extension on Thursday. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Peterman will stick around as a developmental signal-caller for the Raiders behind Derek Carr and Marcus Mariota in 2021. The 26-year-old was selected in the fifth round (171st overall) by the Buffalo Bills back in 2017. He played in eight games (four

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate (back) landed on the injury report on Thursday after being a limited participant in practice due to a back injury. Mid-week injuries are usually never promising, but the fact that Brate was able to practice at all might mean that he will still be able to play in Super Bowl LV against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that wide receiver Antonio Brown (knee) and safeties Jordan Whitehead (shoulder) and Antoine Winfield Jr. (ankle) took part in practice on Thursday and “ran around pretty good.” Brown and Whitehead were listed as doubtful for the Super Bowl on last week’s injury report, but they have made progress this week and could suit up on Sunday against

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Demarcus Robinson and center Daniel Kilgore have tested negative for COVID-19 every day since they were deemed high-risk close contacts after their barber tested positive for the virus, according to sources. As long as both players continue to test negative, Robinson can rejoin the team on Friday and Kilgore on Saturday before Super Bowl LV against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Arizona Cardinals are signing former Tennessee Titans seventh-round quarterback Cole McDonald to a reserve/futures contract on Thursday, according to a source. McDonald will give the Cardinals more depth at the QB position after the Titans released him in training camp. The 22-year-old was a two-year starter at Hawaii and racked up 7,454 passing yards and 65 touchdowns in college. He also ran for 901

Teams have started calling the Philadelphia Eagles about a potential trade for quarterback Carson Wentz, according to sources. However, the Eagles are in no rush to trade Wentz and currently intend for him to return in 2021 under new head coach Nick Sirianni. But they have fielded calls and general manager Howie Roseman will always listen. It’s unclear what the asking price for Wentz might

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown (knee) is expected to be limited in practice on Wednesday, according to a source. Brown didn’t practice at all last week and was listed as doubtful for Super Bowl LV against the Kansas City Chiefs last Friday, but he’s slowly making progress and could still play in the big game this Sunday. The 32-year-old injured his knee in

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (calf) and running back Le’Veon Bell (knee) are both expected to practice on Wednesday. Defensive backs Rashad Fenton (foot) and L’Jarius Sneed (concussion), who were listed as questionable last week, are also expected to be on the practice field. Watkins is optimistic about playing in the Super Bowl this Sunday against the Buccaneers despite having not played since

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (knee) said that his surgically repaired knee is doing well, but he won’t set a target date for his return to action. The 2018 Offensive Rookie of the Year tore his right ACL in Week 2 and missed the rest of the 2020 season. Unless he suffers some sort of setback, Barkley should be ready for Week 1

Miami Dolphins impending free-agent quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick completed a career-high 68.5 percent of his passes for 2,091 yards, 13 touchdowns and eight interceptions in nine appearances in 2020, and the 38-year-old journeyman QB said he wants to play in a 17th season. With the quarterback market so in flux heading into this offseason, there could be a decent amount of suitors looking for a veteran

The Atlanta Falcons are not expected to trade quarterback Matt Ryan this offseason, according to sources. “The Falcons have not had any trade conversations about Ryan or their star wide receiver Julio Jones. And every expectation is both players are going to be on the roster in 2021,” NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero said. New head coach Arthur Smith plans to run a similar offense to

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady has struggled against defenses run by Steve Spagnuolo, who is the defensive coordinator of the Kansas City Chiefs. Brady had his second-worst Super Bowl outing when the 18-0 Patriots were upset by the Giants in Super Bowl XLII when Spagnuolo was New York’s defensive coordinator. The future Hall of Fame QB is also 2-3 in his career (including the

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that all of the players took part in “a bonus day” on Tuesday where the team walked through 40 to 50 plays, but Arians said that wide receiver Antonio Brown (knee) and safeties Antoine Winfield Jr. (ankle) and Jordan Whitehead (knee, shoulder) are “still not ready to go.” Brown and Whitehead were listed as doubtful on the
