Free-agent RB Devonta Freeman (Falcons) reportedly agreed to terms on an undisclosed contract with the New York Giants on Tuesday, Sept. 22.

Footballguys View: No surprise here. Freeman could be the lead back in that backfield now that Saquon Barkley (knee) is lost for the year. The Giants have Dion Lewis and Wayne Gallman in the running back room to compete with Freeman for touches.

Atlanta Falcons QB Kyle Lauletta was released from the practice squad Tuesday, Sept. 22.

New York Giants RB Saquon Barkley (knee) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his knee Tuesday, Sept. 22. CB Ryan Lewis was elevated from the practice squad to take Barkley’s spot on the roster.

Footballguys View: This is a major knee injury for Barkley, but hopefully he can be back in action at the start of the 2021 season. Barkley is a RB1 for Fantasy GMs if he’s at full strength and we’re hopeful he can get there for next season. The Giants move forward with (likely) Devonta Freeman, Dion Lewis and Wayne Gallman.

Tennessee Titans WR A.J. Brown (knee) appears to be questionable at best to return from a bone bruise in his knee in time to play in Week 3 against the Minnesota Vikings, according to comments made by receivers coach Rob Moore.’When he does get back, whether it’s this week or next week, he has to prepared and ready to go from a mental standpoint. He can’t lose that edge that he got in training camp,’ Moore said.

Footballguys View: Keep an eye on Brown’s practice status during the week. Friday is the day to watch as if Brown can practice then it could be a good sign for his availability on Sunday against the Vikings.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers TE Rob Gronkowski received four targets in the first two games, which head coach Bruce Arians said wasn’t a surprise. ‘We’re not throwing the ball 50 times to the tight ends,’ Arians said. ‘That’s what we have receivers for, that’s the way our offense is built. Gronk’s playing great run blocking in the fourth quarter, so I’m not concerned with his pass catches or his targets.’
