Broncos OL Nico Falah Tears Achilles

Nico Falah went down at Broncos practice today, and it doesn’t sound good for the offensive lineman. NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport reports (via Twitter) that Falah is “suspected to have torn his Achilles.” Mike Klis of 9News in Denver confirms the news, saying Falah has torn his Achilles (via Twitter).

The former undrafted free agent out of USC joined the Broncos last October following stops with the Titans and Jets. The six-foot-four, 301-pound lineman made several cameos on Denver’s 53-man roster throughout the season, but he didn’t end up seeing the field for any games.

It’s a tough break for Falah, who had a good chance to earn a roster spot as a reserve lineman. The Broncos have lost a handful of offensive linemen this offseason (including Matt Paradis, Max Garcia, Billy Turner, and Jared Veldheer), and they’ve only added a pair of lineman in free agent Ja’Wuan James and second-rounder Dalton Risner.

If Falah indeed misses the entire season, the Broncos could look to Risner, Sam Jones, Don BarclayAustin Schlottmann as their primary reserve lineman.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Extra Points: Bucs, Eagles, Steelers, Bell

The Buccaneers and offensive lineman Ali Marpet agreed to a five-year extension earlier today, with the deal expected to be worth $55MM ($27.125MM guaranteed). General manager Jason Licht last said that one of the top items on the front office’s to-do list was signing the 25-year-old to a long-term deal.

One of our top priorities heading into this season was to secure our core players to long-term deals and I am thrilled to add Ali to that list,” Licht said (via The Athletic’s Greg Auman on Twitter). “In his first four seasons, Ali has developed into one of the league’s best offensive guards and we believe he will only continue to improve. His ability to play multiple positions across the line, along with his strong work ethic and overall leadership abilities, were all important factors in our decision to ensure he remains a Buccaneer for the long term.”

Let’s take a look at some more notes from around the NFL…

  • While previous reports had indicated that the Eagles had given “serious consideration” to a Le’Veon Bell trade, ESPN’s Adam Schefter clarified that that wasn’t actually the case. Yahoo’s Charles Robinson echos that sentiment, writing that the Eagles hadn’t been in pursuit of the Steelers running back. However, Robinson notes that Bell “is a viable option” for Philly after they lost Jay Ajayi to a season-ending injury. For the time being, the Eagles will turn to one of Corey Clement, Wendell Smallwood, Josh Adams, and Darren Sproles (once he returns from injury).
  • Two more practice squad players got raises this week after other teams tried to poach them, as Tom Pelissero of NFL.com tweets. Jets center Nico Falah and 49ers cornerback Emmanuel Moseley are now making $28,235 a week, well above the taxi squad minimum. Given the way they are valued by their respective teams, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see either player promoted to the main roster soon.
  • The Lions expect to see offensive lineman T.J. Lang back on the field at some point this season.

Titans Cut Roster Down To 53

Starting right tackle Jack Conklin will return to the Titans’ active roster after missing training camp due to his ACL tear in Tennessee’s second-round playoff game. He will be taken off the PUP list, pointing to an early-season return rather than a six-week absence.

Many other Titans will have to head elsewhere. Tennessee announced its cuts, trimming the roster from 90 to 53 players. Here is the full list of cuts:

Titans Sign 22 UDFAs

The Titans have signed a host of undrafted free agents to their offseason roster. Here’s the full rundown:

Finch received a larger-than-average $42K guarantee to sign with the Titans (as noted by NFL.com’s Tom Pelissero, on Twitter), so he may have a better shot than most of making the final cut. Finch, a 6’5″, 250-pound edge rusher, recorded five blocked punts at Temple using his exceptional wingspan. While he lacks pass rushing technique, the Titans probably feel that he has potential as a special teams contributor.

The Titans had only a four-man draft class this year, which necessitated a large UDFA class.
