  • LAC Tackle #75

    Although GM Buddy Nix believes the Bills can win with Chris Hairston at left tackle, he would like to pick up two more players at the position this offseason.
    “People say Fitz gets the ball out quick, but we run our offense with a lot of empty sets, with five blockers and if they bring six he better get it out,” explained Nix. “In this offense he has to get it out quick.” Nix concedes that Hairston isn’t the “prettiest athlete,” suggesting more of a stopgap than a long-term solution.
  • FA Tackle #72

    Titans waived RT Leroy Watson.
    Starting four games for the Titans this year as part of their right tackle “situation,” Watson posted a 35.1 PFF blocking grade and committed eight penalties. The team acquired him from the Browns in April for a seventh-round pick, perhaps because former Browns OL coach Bill Callahan thought he could mold the 2022 UDFA into something. The Titans have given up on that dream. Watson will try to latch on to a practice squad.
  • NE Guard #69
    Patriots activated LG Cole Strange (knee) from the reserve/PUP list.
    Strange, one of the last wacky Bill Belichick first-round picks in 2022, looks like he’ll get a four-game audition with the remainder of the Patriots offensive line down the stretch. The guard has missed most of the season after leaving with what was reportedly a torn PCL in Week 15 of the 2023 season. Almost a full calendar year later, he’ll aim to make his return.
  • CLE Kicker #41
    Browns signed K Riley Patterson to practice squad.
    Incumbent Dustin Hopkins’ problems had become too big to ignore. Hopkins missed two field goals in Week 14 and has missed at least one field-goal attempt in four of his last five games. On the season Hopkins is just 16-of-25. Hopkins is still on the roster and has no injury that we’ve heard of, but it wouldn’t be a surprise if one of those things changed in the near future.
  • CLE Defensive Back #0
    Browns placed Greg Newsome (hamstring) on injured reserve.
    He’s done for the season. Newsome finishes an uneven year where he was always hampered by this hamstring injury with a 54.0 PFF coverage grade. The Browns picked up his fifth-year option last offseason so he’ll enter the final year of his rookie contract in 2024 looking for a healthier rebound season.
  • FA Wide Receiver #87
    Browns waived Kadarius Toney.
    He muffed a punt in last week’s game that apparently sealed his fate. Toney will probably continue to get back-of-roster chances, but it’s clear the NFL doesn’t think much of him at this point.
  • TEN Kicker #44
    Titans signed K Brayden Narveson to their practice squad.
    Incumbent kicker Nick Folk is dealing with an injury and Narveson could kick for the Titans in Week 15 against the Bengals. We know you’re all waiting with bated breath to start the fantasy playoffs with Narveson at kicker. The second-year kicker missed five of 17 attempts with the Packers earlier this year before being replaced by Brandon McManus. Narveson was in training camp with the Titans.
  • DAL Quarterback #19
    Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, asked about starting Trey Lance at some point over the next four games, said “I don’t think so.”
    “I thought for the most part we did some good things out there, I still believe [Cooper Rush] gives us our best chance,” Jones added. Lance is counting down the final days of his rookie contract. He’ll probably get another backup job somewhere next year, and he’s still only 25, but it’s hard to spin “not being able to beat out Cooper Rush” as a positive on the open market.
  • TB Linebacker #45
    Buccaneers signed LB Deion Jones to their practice squad.
    A former stalwart for the Falcons, Jones is basically bouncing around as linebacker injuries accumulate at this point in his career as a non-solution. The 30-year-old had been with the Bills in training camp and was released at last cuts.
  • FA Wide Receiver #2
    Patriots waived WR K.J. Osborn.
    Signed to a one-year, $4 million deal this offseason, Osborn was targeted just 18 times as Kendrick Bourne took over as the main third receiver once healthy and both Kayshon Boutte and Ja’Lynn Polk pushed Osborn out of the way for playing time. He’ll likely catch on with another team ahead of the playoffs.
  • LV Running Back #3
    Raiders placed RB Zamir White (quad) on injured reserve.
    It will end his third season in the NFL. White was mostly the lead back for the first month of the year before fading into the background, he finished with a 65/183/1 rushing line. The uncertain future of the Raiders’ coaching staff and front office leaves White’s dynasty value in a tenuous place entering the final year of his rookie contract. He hasn’t taken advantage of the few opportunities he’s had this year.
