Titans part ways with 3 practice squad players

The Titans parted ways with three of their practice squad players on Tuesday.

The Tennessee Titans were busy making moves on Tuesday, with the team announcing the signing of 11 players to futures contracts that will put them on the 90-man roster this offseason.

In addition to those 11 signings, all of whom were on the final version of the team’s practice squad this season, the Titans parted ways with three other members of their final practice squad.

Per the league’s transactions wire, the team cut defensive back Kyron Brown, quarterback Kevin Hogan, and offensive lineman Danny Isidora.

While all three spent time on the team’s practice squad, none of the three were elevated on gameday this season.

There are still two more practice squad players unaccounted for in 2021 fourth-round pick and wide receiver, Dez Fitzpatrick, and defensive back Nate Meadors.

Fitzpatrick is obviously the notable name there, and it looks like he isn’t coming back to Nashville for the moment, which wouldn’t be a surprise.

In case you missed the 11 signed to futures deals, you can check them out below.

Titans sign OL Danny Isidora to the practice squad

The Titans added veteran OL Danny Isidora to the practice squad on Monday.

The Tennessee Titans had some space on their practice squad going into Week 17, so they filled it with a veteran offensive lineman.

The team announced on Monday it has signed guard Danny Isidora to the practice squad. The move comes on the heels of the Titans missing multiple starters upfront.

A former fifth-round pick of the Minnesota Vikings in 2017, Isidora spent two seasons there before moving on to play for teams like the Miami Dolphins, Kansas City Chiefs and, most recently, the Arizona Cardinals.

The 6-foot-3, 306-pound lineman has played in 31 games (six starts) over five seasons. He last took a snap in 2021, but saw just 13 of them with Arizona that season.

His biggest sample size came in 2018 with the Vikings, when he played in 14 games, starting in seven. The 28-year-old posted PFF grades of 36.0 and 65.5 in pass-blocking and run-blocking, respectively. He surrendered 11 pressures and two sacks in 145 pass-block snaps.

Cardinals cut 2 players Tuesday

They announced the release of receiver Andre Baccellia from the active roster and lineman Danny Isidora from the practice squad.

The Arizona Cardinals announced a couple of roster moves on Tuesday, clearing roster spots for the active roster and the practice squad.

They announced they released receiver Andre Baccellia, who was signed to roster off the practice squad last week. He has bounced between the practice squad and the active roster this year and was on the practice squad for most of last season.

They also announced the release of offensive lineman Danny Isidora from the practice squad.

The Cardinals now have an open spot both on the active roster and on the practice squad.

There are signing coming but have not been announced. One such move that has been reported is the addition of veteran running back Corey Clement to the practice squad.

Arizona will have their first day of practice in Week 6 on Wednesday and we can expect an announcement for more roster moves Wednesday morning.

CB Bashaud Breeland is among 4 Cardinals’ protected practice squad players in Week 18

Preparing for their Week 18 game against the Seahawks, the Cardinals protected Bashaud Breeland, Kevin Peterson, Danny Isidora and Tahir Whitehead.

The Arizona Cardinals were expected to sign veteran cornerback Bashaud Breeland to their practice squad a week ago after rookie corner Marco Wilson suffered a shoulder injury. He contracted COVID-19 so that signing did not happen until Tuesday.

Now on the practice squad, the Cardinals included him among the four practice squad players they protected from being signed by any other team.

They once again included two cornerbacks. Here are their four protected players, according to the NFL transaction report on Tuesday.

  • CB Bashaud Breeland
  • G Danny Isidora
  • CB Kevin Peterson
  • LB Tahir Whitehead

Peterson has had to play on defense the last two weeks for the Cardinals. Whitehead is likely protected because Tanner Vallejo, who came back from injured reserve last week, was placed on the COVID list on Tuesday. Whitehead has been elevated to play special teams this season.

Isidora is protected, likely because the Cardinals don’t want to lose him. They don’t seem to have any injuries on the offensive line.

Breeland probably won’t get elevated this week to play but he could be for the playoffs.

Cardinals protect 2 CBs, 2 OL on practice squad in Week 14

The Cardinals protected Danny Isidora, Eric Smith, Jace Whittaker and Kevin Peterson in Week 14 so they can’t be signed by other teams.

The Arizona Cardinals, like all NFL teams, are able to designate four players on the practice squad each week as “protected,” meaning other teams cannot sign them to their active rosters.

This week, the Cardinals protected a pair of offensive linemen and a pair of cornerbacks.

According to Tuesday’s NFL transaction report, the Cardinals protected these four practice squad players:

  • OL Danny Isidora
  • OL Eric Smith
  • CB Kevin Peterson
  • CB Jace Whittaker

With these protections, it raises questions about the health of the depth on the offensive line. Peterson and Whittaker were both protected last week and Whittake was elevated to the active roster for the game but was made inactive.

Cornerback Byron Muprhy played through a foot injury.

Because the Cardinals play on Monday night, they will not practice until Thursday and that will be when they release their first injury report of the week.

Cardinals protect 3 players on practice squad for Week 7

TE Ross Travis, OL Danny Isidora and DL Jonathan Ledbetter are all unable to sign with other teams in Week 7.

The Arizona Cardinals begin to prepare for their Week 7 home game against the struggling Houston Texans. They will hit the practice field for the first time on Wednesday.

While the first injury report of the week has not yet come out, so we don’t know what the staus of a few players are, but we can see where the Cardinals have some concern, based on the players they protected this week on the practice squad.

On Tuesday’s NFL transactions report, it showed the Cardinals protected three players from being signed off the practice squad this week.

They protected defensive lineman Jonathan Ledbetter, tight end Ross Travis and offensive lineman Danny Isidora.

All three were elevated to the roster last week and played.

The Cardinals only have seven offensive linemen on the roster so they will need to elevate one to have eight active for the game.

Tight end Darrell Daniels has a hamstring injury, so Travis might be needed to fill the role of the team’s third tight end, while with Peters and Allen on the COVID list and Rashard Lawrence having injured his calf, Ledbetter might be needed again.

Teams can protect up to four players on the practice squad each week. We will see if they designate another player later in the week for protection.

Cardinals sign 4 to practice squad, including CB Quinton Dunbar, OL Michal Menet

They made a flurry of moves on the practice squad after three players have been signed to the active roster in the last week. 7th-round pick Michael Menet returns.

The Arizona Cardinals announced a few roster moves dealing with the 53-man roster, including the signing of cornerback Antonio Hamilton from the practice squad to the 53-man squad. With that move and the signing of two offensive linemen from the practice squad to the active roster over the weekend, the Cardinals had a few vacancies on their practice squad.

They announced four player signings to the unit and the release of one.

They released cornerback Mazzi Wilkins, whom they added just last week.

They added three offensive linemen and a veteran cornerback. The players they added are below.

5 takeaways from Texans training camp Day 19

The Houston Texans held their 19th day of training camp. Here are some takeaways from the action at Houston Methodist Training Center.

HOUSTON — The Houston Texans held their 17th practice on the 19th day of camp at Houston Methodist Training Center. Wednesday morning will likely serve as the Texans’ final padded practice ahead of their preseason match against the Dallas Cowboys — the second of three exhibition games.

After Davis Mills ended the day under center during the Texans’ two-minute drill, the rookie quarterback from Stanford may receive a bulk of the offensive snaps at AT&T Stadium Saturday night.

“From day one, the guy has been great,” offensive coordinator Tim Kelly said. “He’s really smart, so he knows what everyone should be doing. He is able to articulate the play calls, and has done a great job in the huddle with his communication.”

Here are five observations from the Texans’ practice.
