Kurt Benkert Waived

Quarterback Kurt Benkert has been waived by the Green Bay Packers. Benkert was battling for the QB2 job behind Aaron Rodgers with Jordan Love. Benkert played solid football at times but the Packers have decided to not keep three quarterbacks on the active roster. Reports already indicate that Benkert would be a candidate for the […]

Packers Cut Equanimeous St. Brown

The Green Bay Packers have waived wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown. The 24-year-old flashed plenty of promise in 2019, catching 21 passes for 328 yards as rookie. But the St. Brown took a step backwards last season, catching only seven passes while falling further down the team's wide receiver pecking order. If St. Brown clears […]

Jaguars Waive Laquon Treadwell

Former Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Laquon Treadwell is set to be waived, per Jamal St. Cyr of News4Jax. Treadwell, a former first-round draft choice of the Minnesota Vikings, has struggled to find opportunities at the NFL level over the last few seasons. Treadwell's release bodes well for Collin Johnson, and to a lesser extent, Tavon […]

KhaDarel Hodge Released By Browns

The Cleveland Browns released wide receiver KhaDarel Hodge on Tuesday, ending the wideout's two-year tenure with the team. Hodge turned in a solid preseason, posting two touchdowns over Cleveland's three games. The veteran may not be without a job for long as the Cleveland Plain Dealer is reporting that the team would like to bring […]

Bears Waive Ryan Nall

The Chicago Bears have waived running back Ryan Nall. The 25-year-old caught eight passes for 67 yards with one touchdown last season but is known mostly for his solid play on special teams. The Bears have now cut a player who they have counted on the last two seasons on special teams (Nall) and a […]

Chargers Waive Tyron Johnson; Guyton, Palmer To See More Snaps

The Los Angeles Chargers waived wide receiver Tyron Johnson on Tuesday. In a head-scratching move, Johnson was released, paving the way for wideouts Jalen Guyton and Joshua Palmer to see extended snaps. Johnson put up team-best numbers in the preseason finale, securing four of his nine targets for 41 yards. It is unclear whether another team will sign […]

Riley Ridley Cut By Bears

Chicago Bears wide receiver Riley Ridley has been waived by the Bears. The former fourth-round pick failed to make a lasting impression during training camp and the Bears are moving on. Ridley, Calvin's brother, has only 10 career receptions in two NFL seasons and will have to look to hook on with another team to […]

Chris Herndon Traded To Vikings

The Minnesota Vikings have traded for the Jets tight end Chris Herndon in exchange for draft compensation. With the Vikings TE1 Irv Smith Jr. on the shelf for at least a month the Vikings moved quickly to replenish their tight end depth chart. Herndon has plenty of potential but has yet to fully put it […]

Jaguars Release Phillip Dorsett II

Former Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Phillip Dorsett II was released on Tuesday. Dorsett's release is surprising, to say the least, as he was expected to provide a vertical element within the offense as the team's fourth wideout. The speedster will likely get an opportunity with another receiver-needy team shortly, and Detroit is a possible landing […]

Jake Browning Waived, Kellen Mond Wins Backup Job

The Minnesota Vikings are waiving quarterback Jake Browning. In three preseason games, Browning completed 13-of-33 passes, throwing for 154 yards and one interception. Rookie Kellen Mond will be the backup for Kirk Cousins as of right now, though the Vikings may still be looking to sign another quarterback. During the preseason, Mond stood out, completing 28-of-51 […]

Dazz Newsome Waived

Chicago Bears wide receiver Dazz Newsome was waived by the team on Tuesday. The sixth-round rookie not making the Week 1 roster is a surprise despite reports that the team will try and sign him to the practice roster. Newsome enjoyed a solid offseason but broke his collarbone at the end of mini-camp and was […]

Pooka Williams Jr. Waived By Bengals

The Cincinnati Bengals waived rookie running back Pooka Williams Jr. on Tuesday. According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, the team is hoping that Williams clears waivers so that they can sign him to their practice squad.

Anthony Rizzo Batting .333 Over His Last Five Games

New York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo has been swinging the bat well over his last five contests. Rizzo is 6-for-18 with five runs scored, two doubles, and two RBI in that span, a welcome stretch after he labored through a 1-for-18 slump that dates back to his initial return from the COVID-19 injured list. […]

Shi Smith To Be Out Two-To-Three Weeks

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Shi Smith (shoulder) is expected to miss two-to-three weeks, according to Panthers head coach Matt Rhule. Smith suffered a shoulder injury in the team's last preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Friday. The timing of the injury is certainly unfortunate as Smith will miss at least the team's first […]

Bears Cut Running Back Ryan Nall

The Chicago Bears cut running back Ryan Nall on Tuesday. The 25-year-old out of Oregon State saw a lot of action for the team last year, but didn't do much that showed up on the box score. He played in all 16 games in 2020, but only rushed three times for zero yards while catching […]

P.J. Walker Secures Backup Role

Carolina Panthers quarterback P.J. Walker will be the team's backup signal-caller in 2021. Walker was competing with 2019 third-round pick Will Grier, who the team left off the 53-man roster Tuesday, meaning the team will proceed with just two quarterbacks in the meantime. The 26-year-old Walker made a name for himself in the XFL, posting […]

Ravens OC Expects Big Workload For Gus Edwards

Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman made it clear that running back Gus Edwards is in line for a lot of work this year. On Tuesday, Roman told the media, "He's our kind of guy. He's built for what we do." With J.K. Dobbins (knee) out for the year, Edwards is in position to have […]

Daniel Hudson Pitching Poorly Since Joining Friars

San Diego Padres reliever Daniel Hudson continued his poor run as a Friar Monday against the Arizona Diamondbacks, suffering three earned runs in ⅔ innings. Entering the seventh with a 6-1 lead, Hudson permitted a walk and double before striking out two batters. He was lifted after issuing another free pass but was charged with […]

Eagles Waive Travis Fulgham On Tuesday

The Philadelphia Eagles waived wide receiver Travis Fulgham on Tuesday. The news is somewhat surprising as Fulgham led the team with 539 receiving yards last year and seemed likely to be the team's No. 3 or No. 4 wideout this year. He was receiving some first team reps during training camp. Fulgham can now be […]

Fernando Tatis Jr. Carries Friars To Victory

San Diego Padres shortstop/outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. carried the Friars to victory Monday against the Arizona Diamondbacks, going 3-for-5 with a home run, double and three RBI. Tatis launched his NL-leading 36th homer in the first frame with a two-run job and added an insurance RBI double in the ninth to secure the 7-5 victory. […]

Seth Williams Waived By Broncos

The Denver Broncos cut rookie wide receiver Seth Williams on Tuesday. The news was a bit surprising as Williams was creating some buzz this offseason. However, the team is loaded at receiver with Jerry Jeudy and Courtland Sutton leading the way and KJ Hamler and Tim Patrick behind them. The 6'3" Williams was a sixth […]

Chris Paddack Sharp In Return From Injured List

San Diego Padres starter Chris Paddack was sharp over 4 ⅔ innings Monday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Returning from the IL after missing a month with an oblique strain, the right-hander yielded one earned run and fell one out short of earning his eighth victory as he fanned five while permitting just three hits and […]

Patriots Place Stephon Gilmore On PUP List

The New England Patriots placed star cornerback Stephon Gilmore (quad) on the PUP list on Tuesday. As a result, he will miss the first six games of the regular season at a minimum. The 30-year-old is in the midst of recovering from a torn quad that he suffered late last season. J.C. Jackson and Jalen […]

Saints Will Be Away From New Orleans For A Month

On Tuesday, New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton told the media that the team will be away from the city of New Orleans through the month of September. The city is in the midst of recovering from the wreck created by Hurricane Ida. The Saints have a home game scheduled for Week 1 against […]

Phillip Lindsay, David Johnson, Mark Ingram II To Operate As Committee

Houston Texans running backs Phillip Lindsay, Mark Ingram II, and David Johnson will be utilized in a committee approach. Head coach David Culley essentially confirmed what many thought would be a halfback rotation, which is far from ideal for fantasy purposes. Johnson seems to have settled into more of a pass-catching role at camp, with […]

N'Keal Harry Unlikely To Be Traded

The New England Patriots are unlikely to trade wide receiver N'Keal Harry (shoulder) based on a report on Tuesday by Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald. Callahan reported that Patriots head coach Bill Belichick praised Harry's effort in camp this year. Speaking of Harry, Belichick said, "Glad we have him. Think he can make a […]

Corey Clement Released By The Giants

The New York Giants have released running back Corey Clement. The 26-year-old was competing with Devontae Booker and Eli Penny for the Giants' backup running back spot behind Saquon Barkley. New York will roll with Barkley, Booker, and Penny as their top running backs. Clement rushed for 86 yards on 18 attempts over three games […]
