Isaiah McKenzie Gets Another Shot On The 53-Man Roster

After waiving Denver Broncos wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie on Saturday, the Broncos announced they've brought the second-year WR back after placing safety Su'a Cravens on Injured Reserve due to a lingering knee ailment. With the presence of wideouts Demaryius Thomas, Emmanuel Sanders, Courtland Sutton and Daesean Hamilton, it's not likely McKenzie sees many snaps at receiver if […]

Redskins Add Kapri Bibbs, Seven Others To Practice Squad

The Washington Redskins re-signed running back Kapri Bibbs to the practice squad on Sunday, a day after trimming him from the 53-man roster. The team also re-signed WR Simmie Cobbs Jr., TE Matt Flanagan, WR Darvin Kidsy, DB Kenny Ladler, C Cassanova McKinzy, OT Timon Parris and DL JoJo Wicker to the squad. Kidsy showed […]

Kenny Golladay Expecting A Big Season

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay has set high expectations for himself and believes he is prepared to make good on his goals. Golladay stated, "I'm trying to make a whole lot of plays for this team," according to Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press. He opened his rookie season on a high note, […]

Kerryon Johnson Will Be A Special Player

Detroit Lions rookie running back Kerryon Johnson is in a position to transform the Lions offense this season. The rookie ball carrier has impressed this preseason, and while he will be splitting time with LeGarrette Blount and Theo Riddick, Johnson is by far the best back on the roster. Even Blount believes Johnson will have […]

Dwayne Washington Cut By Detroit

The Detroit Lions waived running back Dwayne Washington on Saturday. The move isn't surprising, as Washington didn’t receive a carry during the preseason until the final game. However, in that game against Cleveland he rushed for 67 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries.

Matt Cassel Wins Lions Backup Quarterback Job

Detroit Lions quarterback Matt Cassel has won the preseason battle to be the team’s backup quarterback, as Jake Rudock was cut during Saturday’s wave of roster cuts. Cassel and Rudock had been competing to back up Matthew Stafford this preseason. Cassel was the front-runner entering camp based off of his experience in the league. Meanwhile, […]

Ameer Abdullah Makes 53-Man Roster

Detroit Lions running back Ameer Abdullah earned the team’s fourth running back spot with a solid preseason. Abdullah had been the subject of trade talks for a majority of training camp but had performed well in three exhibition games, rushing for 53 yards and a score. While he will be stuck behind Kerryon Johnson, LeGarrette […]

Patriots Add Chad Hansen, Amara Darboh

The New England Patriots claimed wide receivers Chad Hansen and Amara Darboh on waivers on Sunday. Hansen had been cut by the Jets, while Darboh didn't make the final roster in Seattle. Both have playmaking upside and will compete for playing time early in the season while Julian Edelman is suspended for four games. Neither […]

Dolphins Claim Luke Falk On Waivers

The Miami Dolphins claimed quarterback Luke Falk on waivers on Sunday. Falk was a sixth-round pick by the Titans this year but didn't make the team's final roster. With Brock Osweiler and David Fales both making the roster behind starter Ryan Tannehill, Falk could be ticketed for the practice squad.

Davis Webb Waived By Giants

The New York Giants are waiving quarterback Davis Webb on Sunday, according to a source. It's a surprising move, as the third-round pick in 2017 had been playing well in training camp and the preseason. Rookie Kyle Lauletta and Alex Tanney will serve as Eli Manning's backups entering the 2018 season.

Raiders Release Connor Cook, EJ Manuel

The Oakland Raiders released quarterbacks Connor Cook and EJ Manuel after they traded for AJ McCarron. With Derek Carr as the starter in 2018, that leaves McCarron as his sole backup heading into the season. McCarron was fighting for a starting job in Buffalo but was injured in the preseason and lost out to rookie […]

Khalil Mack Agrees To Six-Year Extension With Bears

The Chicago Bears and defensive end Khalil Mack agreed to a six-year, $141 million contract extension, according to a source informed of the deal. It becomes the richest deal ever for a defensive player and includes $90 million in guarantees with $60 million guaranteed at signing. Mack will receive $155 million over seven years. The […]

Hunter Henry Put On PUP List

The Los Angeles Chargers placed tight end Hunter Henry (knee) on the Physically Unable to Perform list instead of season-ending Injured Reserve. Henry suffered a torn ACL in May, but this move leaves open the chance for Henry to return later this year. He'll be eligible to practice with the team after the sixth week […]

Brock Osweiler, David Fales Both Make Dolphins 53-Man Roster

Miami Dolphins quarterbacks Brock Osweiler and David Fales have both found a spot on the 53- man roster, but head coach Adam Gase hasn't said which player is the true backup to Ryan Tannehill. After missing the entire 2017 season with a knee injury, Tannehill's health is still a concern, which is likely why Osweiler […]

Antonio Gates Re-Signs With Chargers

Free-agent tight end Antonio Gates re-signed with the Los Angeles Chargers on a one-year deal on Sunday, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Gates was expected to rejoin the Bolts right after Hunter Henry suffered a season-ending knee injury in May. The 38-year-old Gates should immediately step in as the starting tight end. He's not […]

Kevin Hogan Claimed On Waivers, Paxton Lynch Released

The Denver Broncos cut former first-round quarterback Paxton Lynch on Sunday after claiming quarterback Kevin Hogan off waivers from the Redskins. Lynch had been a first-round bust for the Broncos and fell to third on the depth chart in training camp behind Case Keenum and Chad Kelly. Lynch was 1-3 and went 79-for-128 for 792 […]

Jordan Wilkins is the "Front-Runner" to Start Week 1

According to Mike Wells of ESPN, Indianapolis Colts running back Jordan Wilkins is the "front-runner" to start in Week 1 if lead back Marlon Mack isn't ready. Wilkins wasn't exactly prolific this preseason, averaging 2.8 yards per carry on 27 rush attempts, but Mack still seems to be hobbled by his hamstring and fellow rookie […]

Akrum Wadley Waived By Titans

The Tennessee Titans have waived rookie running back Akrum Wadley following a disappointing preseason. Wadley struggled in both pass protection and ball security throughout training camp. His injury late in camp did not help his case either, as he fell well behind both David Fluellen and Dalyn Dawkins on the depth chart. Wadley was an […]

Texans Claim Running Back Gregory Howell

The Houston Texans have claimed running back Gregory Howell off waivers from the Dolphins. Howell, who played his college ball for FAU, carried the ball 14 times for 76 yards during the preseason and caught six passes for 53 yards. He recorded a pair of touchdowns. Howell is unlikely to play a major role with […]

Cardinals Cut Brice Butler

The Arizona Cardinals have cut wide receiver Brice Butler as part of their final roster cuts of the season. Butler was expected to fight for a position with the starters; however, performances from rookie Trent Sherfield ensured that there was no space for Butler on the team. This helps the case for Christian Kirk and […]

Titans Waive Rookie Deontay Burnett

The Tennessee Titans have waived rookie wide receiver Deontay Burnett despite a solid training camp. Burnett was expected by many to make the roster as the fifth or sixth receiver, but his small frame and inability to play special teams likely played into the decision to ultimately cut him. Burnett still has the talent and […]

John Brown A Late-Round PPR Steal

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver John Brown had a very strong preseason showing for his new team. Coming off an injury-plagued final season in Arizona, Brown will look to bounce back into form in 2018, having shown great chemistry early in camp with quarterback Joe Flacco in both game and practice action. Brown has shown an […]

Alex Collins Primed For Bell-Cow Role

After sitting out most of the preseason, the Baltimore Ravens seem intent on utilizing running back Alex Collins as a true bell-cow running back this season. Both Javorius Allen and Kenneth Dixon had lackluster preseason showings early on, and neither have shown as a threat to Collins' workload heading into the season. Collins continues to […]

Michael Crabtree Primed For Red-Zone Role

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Michael Crabtree is primed for a significant role in the red zone with Breshad Perriman being cut on Saturday. The team's tight end corps took a blow early in the preseason with a foot injury to first-round rookie Hayden Hurst, and while his replacement Mark Andrews showed well to finish out […]

John Simon Could Be A Waiver Target

The Los Angeles Rams sit 23rd in the waiver priority list. They currently have a severe lack of depth at outside linebacker. One of the most surprising cuts on cutdown day was the Indianapolis Colts choosing to let linebacker John Simon go. Simon was a good contributor on the edge last season, and he would […]

Ravens Decide To Keep Robert Griffin III

In a surprising roster cut-down day move, the Baltimore Ravens have decided to keep quarterback Robert Griffin III and head into the season with three quarterbacks on their roster. It was rumored that the Ravens had fielded some interest in Griffin on the trade market, but clearly there was not enough to garner a move […]

Le'Raven Clark Gives The Offensive Line Depth

The offensive line of the Indianapolis Colts has been a major weak point in past seasons. This was due to below-average starters, along with poor depth. While Le'Raven Clark has struggled in the past couple of years, he represents a veteran backup along the offensive line. After adding guard Quenton Nelson and others, they won't […]

Kenneth Dixon Makes 53-Man Roster

Baltimore Ravens running back Kenneth Dixon has made the team's final 53-man roster after a mediocre preseason showing. The oft-injured Dixon was a candidate to be left off the team's final roster due to injury concerns and shaky production in his first few seasons with the team, but the Ravens clearly see some upside there. […]

Bills Committed To Youth Movement

With the latest roster cuts to the quarterback and wide receiver positions, it seems to be clear on what direction the Buffalo Bills are going this year. This will be a roster chalk full of mostly young inexperienced players. Before the release of quarterback AJ McCarron and wide receiver Corey Coleman, the Bills were already thought to […]

Jerick McKinnon Tears ACL

San Francisco 49ers running back Jerick McKinnon (knee) tore his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee during Saturday’s practice. He is done for the season. With this news, look for second-year running back Matt Breida’s draft stock to significantly rise. However, with fellow running back Alfred Morris projected to open the season as the […]
