Colts worked out WR Anthony Miller, 3 DBs

The Colts held a workout for four players.

The Indianapolis Colts held a tryout for one wide receiver and three defensive backs, according to the league’s transaction wire Monday.

Working out for the Colts included wide receiver Anthony Miller, cornerback Don Gardner, safety Myles Dorn and cornerback Cameron Brown.

The Colts may be looking for some depth in the secondary after losing starter Dallis Flowers to a torn Achilles in Week 4, which has forced rookie Jaylon Jones into the No. 3 cornerback role.

Miller, 29, was a second-round pick with the Chicago Bears in the 2018 NFL draft. In 50 career games (18 starts), Miller has 150 receptions for 1,589 yards and 12 touchdowns.

‘Madden NFL 24’ ratings for Panthers safeties revealed

We’re not really sure if Jeremy Chinn is a safety anymore. Nonetheless, he and the rest of the players at the position had their “Madden NFL 24” ratings revealed on Monday.

The Carolina Panthers’ safety room includes one of the best at the position, a young dawg and a guy who may not actually be much of a safety anymore. But for whatever they all are, their “Madden NFL 24” ratings were revealed on Monday.

Check ’em out:

Myles Dorn released by Carolina Panthers

The Carolina Panthers have waived safety Myles Dorn ahead of the start of training camp in 2023.

Former North Carolina safety [autotag]Myles Dorn[/autotag] will have to find a new home in the NFL for the upcoming 2023 season.

Just a few weeks before training camp is set to start for the Carolina Panthers, Dorn was waived by the team to make room for the addition of defensive tackle Taylor Stallworth. Dorn joined the Panthers back in January on a futures contract.

He’s spent a few years in the NFL after going undrafted in 2020 and then joining the Minnesota Vikings as a free agent. Over the past three seasons, Dorn bounced back and forth from the Vikings practice squad. But he did earn some playing time, appearing in 14 games in the past two years and playing on 208 snaps.

Dorn’s experience in those 14 games have all come on special teams, a good way to find a role on an NFL roster.

The safety will now await another chance to make an NFL roster ahead of training camp.

Panthers’ updated 90-man roster entering July

The Panthers are riding into July with a slight adjustment to their 90-man roster.

The Carolina Panthers made their final move of June official on Friday, announcing the addition of defensive tackle Taylor Stallworth and subtraction of safety Myles Dorn.

So, let’s take a look at how their 90-man roster now looks heading into the next month of summer:

The corresponding move for the addition of Taylor Stallworth has been made.

As announced on Friday afternoon, the Carolina Panthers have waived safety Myles Dorn to open up a roster spot for the team’s new defensive tackle. Stallworth’s signing was first reported by his agent Brett Tessler on Thursday.

Dorn joined the organization on a reserve/future deal back on Jan. 18. A local product, the Charlotte, N.C. native attended nearby Julius L. Chambers High School and played his college ball at the University of North Carolina from 2016 to 2019.

The 6-foot-2, 205-pound defensive back broke into the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Minnesota Vikings in 2020. He appeared in 14 games for Minnesota between 2021 and 2022, and played exclusively on special teams this past season.

As for the new guy, Stallworth brings over 305 pounds and five years’ worth of NFL experience—two of which came under head coach Frank Reich in Indianapolis. He played seven games in 2022, chalking up eight tackles between his time with the Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texans.

Panthers sign S Myles Dorn to reserve/future deal

On Wednesday, the Panthers signed Charlotte native and UNC Tar Heel Myles Dorn to a reserve/future deal.

Welcome home, Myles Dorn.

On Wednesday, the Carolina Panthers signed the 24-year-old safety to a reserve/future deal. He is now the 11th player signed by the team, and the ninth to a reserve/future deal, this offseason.

Dorn was born in Charlotte, N.C. on June 25, 1998. He’d attend Julius L. Chambers High School, formerly known as Vance High School, and move on to play at the University of North Carolina from 2016 to 2019.

As a Tar Heel, Dorn totaled 240 combined tackles (10.5 for a loss), six interceptions, 13 passes defensed, two fumble recoveries and a forced fumble over 43 games. The 6-foot-2, 205-pound defensive back entered the 2020 NFL draft, where he would not be selected.

The Minnesota Vikings then signed Dorn as an undrafted free agent on April 28, 2020. He played in 14 games for Minnesota between 2021 and 2022, having recorded five tackles.

Dorn appeared exclusively on special teams this past season, as he chalked 68 snaps over five outings.

Vikings make multiple roster moves, activate Cameron Dantzler from IR

The Vikings starting cornerback will return on Sunday

The Minnesota Vikings have made a roster move before every game either activating a player or placing a player on injured reserve. They continued that trend on Saturday with multiple roster moves, including activating cornerback Cameron Dantzler from injured reserve

Dantzler suffered a high ankle sprain against the Washington Commanders in week 11 and was placed on injured reserve relatively quickly.

Defensive end Jonathan Bullard made his first trip to injured reserve on the season. Bullard has been dealing with a bicep injury on and off for the majority of the season. He will be eligible to play again in week 18 against the Chicago Bears,

The Vikings’ issues in the secondary prompted the elevation of both Myles Dorn and Tay Gowan. They are both candidates to get the two roster spots currently open, as the have both been elevated now three times.

Vikings make 3 roster moves, could Odell Beckham Jr. be next?

Could the Vikings be opening up a roster spot for a major addition?

The Minnesota Vikings added Blake Proehl to the active roster on Monday after two weeks of his practice window had expired. On Tuesday, the Vikings did the same thing as they did with linebacker Ryan Connelly by waiving Proehl and making two other roster moves.

The Vikings also waived Dorn on Monday. The move was expected with the addition of Theo Jackson last week as the Vikings were likely not going to carry five safeties long-term. Adding Dorn back to the practice squad made sense as the Vikings do like him and what he brings to the table.

Brown was added to the practice squad when Dorn was signed to the active roster. His departure makes sense.

The Vikings currently sit at 52 rostered NFL players. What does that mean for the Vikings? Could this mean they are in the market for Odell Beckham Jr.? He hinted on Twitter on Tuesday that something might be imminent regarding his status.

The Vikings do have a significant LSU contingent with Justin Jefferson, Patrick Peterson and Ed Ingram. Pair that with the Vikings being 5-1 and they could become a real contender for his services at the right price.

Head coach Kevin O’Connell did work with him in Los Angeles last season after all.

Vikings activate WR Blake Proehl, release S Myles Dorn

The Vikings added the former East Carolina product to the active roster

The Minnesota Vikings were on a time crunch after activating the practice window for wide receiver Blake Proehl, who was on the PUP list. He has been practicing with the team over the last two weeks, which is the same amount of time that safety Myles Dorn has been on the active roster when he took rookie first-round pick Lewis Cine’s spot.

On Monday afternoon, the Vikings activated Proehl to the active roster and made room for him by waiving Dorn.

The Vikings were carrying five safeties when they signed Theo Jackson off of the practice squad of the Tennessee Titans last Tuesday.

The move signals that the Vikings have a very high opinion of the undrafted free agent in 2021 out of East Carolina. He is the son of former NFL wide receiver Ricky Proehl.

Dorn is likely to end up back on the practice squad if he clears waivers, as the Vikings seem to value him highly.

Vikings elevate Duke Shelley and Myles Dorn from practice squad

The Vikings elevated two from the practice squad to cover for Harrison Smith and Andrew Booth Jr.

Heading into Sunday’s game, the Minnesota Vikings didn’t have an expansive injury report. Both Harrison Smith and Andrew Booth Jr. were ruled out on Friday with Eric Kendricks being limited in practice with a toe injury. He is listed as questionable for Sunday but should play.

Going into Sunday, there was questions on who would start at safety for Smith. Would it be first-round pick Lewis Cine or third-year player Josh Metellus? Because of the investment in Cine, you would think that he would get the start but Metellus was the one who came in for Smith and outsnapped Cine 10-1.

Ahead of Sunday’s game, the Vikings elevated cornerback Duke Shelley and safety Myles Dorn.

This isn’t new for the Vikings, as they called up Shelley ahead of the Eagles game on Monday and Dorn ahead of the week one contest against the Green Bay Packers.

Both will play on Sunday against the Lions in a reserve role.
