Suspended four additional games: WR Antonio Callaway

New Orleans Saints

Signed: DE Anthony Zettel
Released: DB Grant Haley

Pittsburgh Steelers

Signed: OL Brandon Walton

Of course, the big news here surrounds Callaway. Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports (via Twitter) that the wideout has earned an additional four-game suspension for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy. This means he’ll be eligible to return to the field in Week 8.

Callaway will continue to sit on the Dolphins’ practice squad suspended list, per Charean Williams of ProFootballTalk.com. The 23-year-old will still be allowed to attend meetings, but he can’t practice with the squad until his suspension ends.

The talented wideout out of Florida fell to the Browns in the fourth round of the 2018 draft thanks in part to a 2016 four-game suspension from former head coach Jim McElwain. Callaway immediately contributed in Cleveland, hauling in 43 receptions for 586 and five scores during his rookie campaign. However, the receiver was suspended for the first four games of the 2019 season after violating the substance-abuse policy, and he underwhelmed in the four games following his return (eight receptions, 89 yards).

He was slapped with a 10-game ban late last year, and the suspension was supposed to last through the third week of the 2020 season. Thanks to the latest suspension, Callaway won’t see the field through the first seven weeks of the season.

Panthers Reduce Roster To 53

September 5th, 2020 at 12:52pm CST by Ben Levine

The Panthers are the first team of the day to officially get down to 53 players. The team’s moves are below:

Waived:

DT Myles Adams
DB Quin Blanding
RB Reggie Bonnafon
OT Branden Bowen
DT Woodrow Hamilton
DT Bruce Hector
OG Mike Horton
DB Jameson Houston
WR Ishmael Hyman
DB Natrell Jamerson
DE Jalen Jelks
LB Jordan Kunaszyk
DE Austin Larkin
WR Marken Michel
OT Aaron Monterio
LB James Onwualu
LB Chris Orr
WR Cam Phillips
TE Giovanni Ricci
WR Darrell Stewart
C Sam Tecklenburg
TE Colin Thompson
K/P Kaare Vedvik

Released:

DB T.J. Green
TE Temarrick Hemingway

One of the most notable names on the list is Bonnafon, who has been with the organization since 2018. The running back appeared in 16 games last season, rushing for 116 yards and one touchdown on 16 carries. He also hauled in six receptions for 57 yards.

Of course, considering that the NFL was expanded practice squads to 16 players for the 2020 campaign, there’s a good chance that Bonnafon (along with several other players on this list) end up being retained by the organization.
