John Bates Listed As No. 2 Tight End

Washington Football Team tight end John Bates has locked up the backup role to starter Logan Thomas, according to the team's current depth chart. Washington used a fourth-round pick on Bates in the 2021 draft, so it should be no surprise he beat out Sammis Reyes and Ricky Seals-Jones for the No. 2 spot. The […]

Washington Signs Eddy Pineiro To Practice Squad

The Washington Football Team has signed kicker Eddy Pineiro to their practice squad. The 25-year-old didn't play during the 2020 season, so his most recent action was in 2019. The former Chicago Bear made 23-of-28 field goals while making 27-of-29 extra points during his only NFL season. Pineiro was most recently with the Indianapolis Colts, […]

Travis Fulgham Signs With Eagles Practice Squad

Isaiah Hodgins Joins Bills Practice Squad

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins was unable to make the final 53-man roster. He was cut on Tuesday, but did find his way back in Buffalo with a practice squad spot. Hodgins is a former sixth round pick who missed his rookie season due to a shoulder injury. There is certainly some upside with […]

Bills Appear Committed To Dawson Knox

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox is going to open the season as the starter. Buffalo added depth during the offseason, but none impressed them. Knox will be the No. 1 tight end with Tommy Sweeney as the primary backup. That means, the Bills either believe in Knox or don't plan on using the tight […]

Darwin Thompson Signs With Tampa Bay’s Practice Squad

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed free agent running back Darwin Thompson to their practice squad. The Chiefs released running back Darwin Thompson on Monday but ultimately landed in Tampa Bay.

Ha Ha Clinton-Dix Opts To Become Free Agent

Safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix is returning to the open market after not agreeing to join the San Francisco 49ers' practice squad. Clinton-Dix has served primarily as a starter throughout his six-year NFL career, most of which has come as a member of the Packers. The move to become a free agent seems shrewd, as he […]

Jurrell Casey Announces Retirement From NFL

Longtime Tennessee Titans defensive tackle Jurrell Casey announced his retirement from the NFL on Thursday.

Most recently, Casey was recently by Denver in February after an injury plagued 2020 season in […]

Qadree Ollison Released By The Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons released running back Qadree Ollison on Thursday. He was waived by the Falcons on Thursday and replaced by Wayne Gallman.

KhaDarel Hodge Joins Lions

Wide receiver KhaDarel Hodge has found a new home with the Detroit Lions just nine days before their 2021 season opener. Hodge was released by Cleveland -- who boasts a crowded top-end receiving corps -- earlier in the week, but he should have a plethora of additional opportunities with a largely unproven cast in Detroit. […]

Tyree Jackson Makes The Initial Roster

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Tyree Jackson (back) officially made it to the Eagles 53-man roster. He fractured a bone in his back during a preseason game about two weeks ago, so he'll almost certainly end up on IR before the Eagles play their first game, but the fact that he was officially on the roster […]

Jalen Richard Placed On The Injured Reserve

Las Vegas running back Jalen Richard (leg) was placed on the injured reserve Thursday. It's been a rough start to the preseason for Richard. He began training camp on the reserve/COVID-19 list and is now out until Week 4 of the regular season with a leg injury. The 27-year-old rushed for 123 yards on 22 […]

Dak Prescott Will Be A "Full Go" For Thursday's Game

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (ankle, shoulder) will be a "full go" for Thursday's season opener against the Tampa Bay Bucs. Prescott missed most of last season due to a severe ankle injury and then had some trouble throwing this summer due to shoulder issues. Rest and rehab seem to have him, "back where the […]

La'el Collins Has Status For Opener In Question

Dallas Cowboys right tackle La'el Collins was held out of practice Friday due to neck stingers, throwing his availability for Thursday's season opener against the Buccaneers into doubt. Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said that the team was in "a holding pattern" as it pertained to the offensive lineman, who missed all of last year […]

Steelers Strike Deal For Ahkello Witherspoon

The Pittsburgh Steelers defense received a boost Friday when they swung a deal with the Seattle Seahawks to acquire cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon.

Byron Leftwich Says Mike Evans Is The “Best He’s Ever Been”

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans had a lights-out training camp according to the team's offensive coordinator, Byron Leftwich.

The 28-year-old will look to accomplish the eighth consecutive 1,000-yard season to begin his career. […]

Jaguars Officially Sign Jacob Hollister

The Jacksonville Jaguars signed veteran tight end Jacob Hollister on Friday after he was surprisingly released by the Bills earlier this week. Hollister immediately becomes the most accomplished pass catcher among Jaguars tight ends, and he could have a significant role. Hollister's role was reduced in his final season with the Seattle Seahawks last year, […]

Jamison Crowder Lands On COVID-19 List

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder (groin) was placed on the COVID-19 list after testing positive on Friday. The 28-year-old could now be in jeopardy of missing Week 1 against the Carolina Panthers, so fantasy managers in deeper leagues should begin to look elsewhere if they were relying on him in the season opener. […]

Tavon Austin Placed On Injured Reserve List

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Tavon Austin was placed on the injured reserve list on Thursday. Austin was a surprise addition to the team's 53-man roster, but now he'll miss at least the first three games of the season.

Raiders Sign Peyton Barber

The Las Vegas Raiders have signed running back Peyton Barber from the Washington practice squad to solidify the position after Jalen Richard was placed on the injured reserve list.

Royce Freeman Claimed By The Panthers

The Carolina Panthers claimed free-agent running back Royce Freeman on Thursday. Denver cut him on Tuesday after spending three seasons with the team. The 25-year-old rush for 170 yards on 35 carries and caught 12 passes for 81 yards across 16 games in 2020. Freeman will look to carve out a role in the Panthers […]

Will Grier Claimed By The Cowboys

Quarterback Will Grier was claimed off waivers by the Cowboys. Grier, formerly of the Carolina Panthers, immediately enters the picture as the primary backup for starter Dak Prescott in Dallas. After somewhat surprisingly releasing presumed second string quarterback Garrett Gilbert earlier in the week, the Cowboys were left with just Cooper Rush in the quarterback […]

Nick Folk Back With New England

New England Patriots kicker Nick Folk is back with the organization following being cut on Tuesday. The 36-year-old was released while the team finalized their 53-man roster. However, he was signed to the practice squad a day later. He has spent each of the last two seasons with the Patriots. Folk connected on 26-of-28 field […]

Malcolm Perry Claimed By Patriots

The New England Patriots have claimed wide receiver Malcolm Perry off waivers from the Miami Dolphins. The former seventh-round pick spent the entire 2020 season with Miami. He recorded nine receptions for 92 yards in nine games, so he was mainly a depth player. Perry could be an interesting slot option for New England. Bill […]
