Monthly Archives: September 2016
Bengals | Vontaze Burfict activated
Cincinnati Bengals LB Vontaze Burfict was activated from the suspended list Thursday, Sept. 29, and will play against the Miami Dolphins in Week 4.
Ravens | James Hurst may start in Week 4
Baltimore Ravens OT James Hurst may start at left tackle in Week 4 if OT Ronnie Stanley (foot) is not able to play. Stanley was wearing a walking boot Wednesday, Sept. 28.
Bills | Charles Clay on the field
Buffalo Bills TE Charles Clay (knee) is participating in practice Thursday, Sept. 29.
Cowboys | Dez Bryant expected to sit Thursday
Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant (knee) is improving but is not expected to participate in practice Thursday, Sept. 29, according to head coach Jason Garrett.
Footballguys View: It looks bad for this weekend and NFLN’s Ian Rapoport says he thinks the chances are low that Bryant plays. We side with Rapsheet on this and would look for alternatives.
Jets | Jeremy Ross signs with the Jets
Free-agent Jeremy Ross (Jets) signed with the New York Jets Thursday, Sept. 29. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
Bills | Sammy Watkins out of practice
Buffalo Bills WR Sammy Watkins (foot) was out of practice Thursday, Sept. 29.
Footballguys View: Even if he plays – unlikely at this point – he’s likely to be limited and we think the Bills will run the ball a ton anyway. The passing offense for Buffalo isn’t attractive at all.
Ravens | Kamar Aiken returns
Baltimore Ravens WR Kamar Aiken (thigh) returned to practice Thursday, Sept. 29.
Footballguys View: Aiken is a real Hail Mary this or any week so this news has minimal impact. It’s disappointing because he looked so good last season, but right now we don’t expect him to be terribly involved in the offense.
Jets | Eric Decker out of practice
New York Jets WR Eric Decker (shoulder) is out of practice Thursday, Sept. 29. He didn’t even take part in stretching.
Footballguys View: Not even stretching is ominous. It’s unfortunate because shocking as it seems, this game is winnable for the Jets, but without Decker and possibly Brandon Marshall, the task becomes much harder. With Decker out, though, Quincy Enunwa becomes an interesting flex or WR4 play though he might struggle if Marshall is also absent on Sunday.
Jets | Lawrence Thomas to IR
New York Jets DE Lawrence Thomas (shoulder) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Thursday, Sept. 29, with a torn labrum.
