Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Elevated: CB Keenan Isaac, LB J.J. Russell

Tennessee Titans

Elevated: CB Shyheim Carter, TE Kevin Rader

Washington Commanders

Elevated: RB Derrick Gore

Walker’s elevation comes amidst a degree of uncertainty regarding Deshaun Watson‘s Sunday availability. The latter is dealing with a shoulder injury, but he has expressed confidence he will be able to suit up. In the event he is unable to play, though, Walker will provide insurance under center. NFL Network’s James Palmer reports Watson will be a game-time decision.

Chosen, formerly Robbie Anderson, made his Dolphins debut in Week 3, scoring a 68-yard touchdown on his only catch. His performance – along with other depth wideouts currently being sidelined for Miami – will give the 30-year-old a longer look with his new team.

Gore’s elevation will give him the chance to see regular season game action for the first time since 2021. The former UDFA recorded 361 scrimmage yards with the Chiefs that season, but a subsequent IR stint marked the end of his time in Kansas City. Gore has since spent time on the Saints’, and now Commanders’, taxi squads. Nicki Jhabvala of the Washington Post notes that fellow depth back Chris Rodriguez has bee ruled out with an illness, opening the door to Gore seeing limited snaps.

Eagles Set 53-Man Roster

August 29th, 2023 at 7:41pm CST by Ben Levine

The Eagles released linebacker Nicholas Morrow and waived running back Trey Sermon today, and they’ve now cut a number of young players to get down to the 53-man roster limit:

Waived:

WR Devon Allen
LB Quinton Bell
QB Ian Book
RB Kennedy Brooks
DT Robert Cooper
WR Britain Covey
CB Mekhi Garner
G Julian Good-Jones
WR Jadon Haselwood
DE Tarron Jackson
TE Tyree Jackson
LB Kyron Johnson
WR Johnny King
LB Tyreek Maddox-Williams
S Tristin McCollum
WR Joseph Ngata
DE Janarius Robinson
G TyreseRobinson
TE Brady Russell
DT Olive Sagapolu
DT Caleb Sanders
CB Josiah Scott
G Josh Sills
P Arryn Siposs
WR Freddie Swain
LB Ben VanSumeren
S K’Von Wallace
WR Greg Ward
DT Marvin Wilson

Released from IR:

WR Tyrie Cleveland

Devon Allen is two-time Olympian hurdler, and after having played college football for Oregon between 2013 and 2016, he caught on with the Eagles last offseason. He spent most of the 2022 campaign on Philly’s practice squad, and there’s a chance he’s destined for the same gig again in 2023.

Britain Covey is another subtraction from the WRs room, although the 26-year-old played only 19 snaps on offense for the Eagles in 2022. He had a much larger role on special teams, where he returned 10 kicks for 206 yards and 33 punts for 308 yards.

NFL Reserve/Futures Deals: 1/18/23

January 18th, 2023 at 8:30pm CST by Ben Levine

Today’s reserve/futures deals:

Atlanta Falcons

Carolina Panthers

DB Myles Dorn

Minnesota Vikings

DE Curtis Weaver

New England Patriots

LB Olakunle Fatukasi

Philadelphia Eagles

DB Tristin McCollum

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

OT Michael Niese, LB J.J. Russell

According to Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press (via Twitter), there was a bit of competition for offensive lineman Kyle Hinton’s services. The 2020 seventh-round pick spent much of the season on the Vikings practice squad, and they looked to sign him to a reserve/futures contract. However, he ended up opting for the Falcons, who gave him an $100K signing bonus.

August 31st, 2022 at 4:08pm CST by Sam Robinson

Texans Set 53-Man Roster

August 30th, 2022 at 8:27pm CST by Ben Levine

The Texans released a number of veterans today as they reduced their roster to 53 players:

Released:

Waived:

Davis Mills and Kyle Allen sit atop Houston’s QB depth chart, making Jeff Driskel expendable, but there’s a chance the veteran sticks around as a third quarterback via the practice squad. Driskel spent the 2021 campaign in Houston, getting into a single game. He’s started nine of his 16 career games, tossing 13 touchdowns vs. eight interceptions.

Chris Conley has spent seven seasons in the NFL, and he could have provided some experience to the receivers room. There’s a chance the veteran could end up back in Houston, as the Texans decided to carry only four wideouts in Nico Collins, Brandin Cooks, Phillip Dorsett, and Chris Moore.

Antony Auclair started 13 games for Houston last season, mostly serving as a blocking tight end. Terrence Brooks started three of his 11 appearances, collecting 21 tackles.

Texans Sign 12 Undrafted Free Agents

May 14th, 2022 at 9:42am CST by Ben Levine

The Texans continue to get younger. The team announced the signing of 12 undrafted free agents:

OL Myron Cunningham, Arkansas
DL Damion Daniels, Nebraska
WR Drew Estrada, Baylor
DB Jacobi Francis, Memphis
TE Seth Green, Houston
DL Troy Hairston, Central Michigan
LB Jake Hansen, Illinois
DB Kolby Harvell-Peel, Oklahoma State
DL Kurt Hinish, Notre Dame
WR Johnny Johnson III, Oregon
DB Tristin McCollum, Sam Houston State
DL Adedayo Odeleye, International Player Pathway Program (story)

Green could have a chance to contribute on a shallow tight ends depth chart. After transferring from Minnesota to Houston, Green saw a larger role on offense, hauling in 13 receptions for 157 yards and three touchdowns. He’ll likely compete with rookie fifth-round pick Teagan Quitoriano for reps alongside Brevin Jordan.
