Recent News

Elic Ayomanor Out, Chimere Dike Full On Wednesday
Titans WR Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. WR Chimere Dike (chest) was a full participant. Dike's Week 11 injury was originally reported as a concussion but is now listed as chest. Regardless, he's on track to play vs. the Seahawks this weekend. With WR Calvin Ridley done for the season and Ayomanor looking iffy for Week 12, Dike could be in for heavy volume.

Xavier Worthy Sidelined Wednesday
Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. He was added to the injury report last Thursday with an ankle but practiced on Friday and then played vs. the Broncos. We're tentatively expecting Worthy to be out there for Sunday's game vs. the Colts, but we'll update his status again tomorrow.

Isiah Pacheco A Full-Go Wednesday
Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. He's on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the Colts. Pacheco had emerged as Kansas City's clear lead back before going down, out-touching RB Kareem Hunt 41 to 21 over their last three games together. We'd bet on Pacheco getting more touches this weekend, but we'll look for further updates on the Chiefs' backfield plans.

Jaxson Dart Back At Practice Wednesday
Giants QB Jaxson Dart (concussion) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. The rookie is in Step 4 of the five-step return-to-play protocol, according to The USA Today's Art Stapleton. Dart is on track to be cleared for this weekend's game vs. the Lions, but we'll keep you updated on his progress.

Darius Slayton Still Out Wednesday
Giants WR Darius Slayton (hamstring) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. That doesn't bode well for his chances of returning for this weekend's game vs. the Lions. Isaiah Hodgins and Jalin Hyatt operated as New York's No. 2 and 3 WRs behind Wan'Dale Robinson last week.
