Eagles, Buccaneers have 4 former Dolphins wild-card matchup

Former Dolphins who will play in Eagles-Bucs wild-card game.

The Miami Dolphins have been eliminated from the postseason following their 27-6 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday night.

So, while Dolphins fans prepare for the offseason, there are a number of former Dolphins who are still playing for a Super Bowl championship that they can support.

On Monday, the Philadelphia Eagles and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are set to battle in a wild-card matchup of their own, and there are four former Dolphins on their rosters and practice squads.

Here’s a look at which players who once donned the aqua and orange will play in this one:

Report: Dolphins release WR from practice squad on Monday

Miami makes corresponding move to bringing in Anthony Schwartz.

The Miami Dolphins have been rather busy on Monday, as they made two transactions to kick off their week following the bye.

With the signing of wide receiver Anthony Schwartz to the practice squad, the Dolphins have released wide receiver Raleigh Webb, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel’s David Furones.

Webb, 25, originally was signed by the Baltimore Ravens as an undrafted free agent out of The Citadel last year before being signed to the New England Patriots active roster.

He joined Miami’s practice squad at the conclusion of training camp when he was released by the Patriots.

44 days till Patriots season opener: Every player to wear No. 44 for New England

Here’s a list of every Patriots player to wear the No. 44 jersey number

The New England Patriots are officially 44 days away from opening up their 2023 season at home against the Philadelphia Eagles. So we’re continuing our countdown series today by listing every Patriots player that has ever worn the No. 44 jersey.

Raleigh Webb currently wears the number for the Patriots.

The former undrafted wideout from The Citadel joined the team after initially signing with the Baltimore Ravens last year. He contributed mostly on special teams for New England, who had him in on 49 percent of their special teams snaps in only 10 regular season appearances.

There have been 20 other players that have worn the No. 44 before Webb. Let’s take a look at every Patriots player that has worn the number throughout franchise history (via Pro Football Reference).

5 biggest takeaways from Day 2 of Patriots’ open OTAs practice

It was an eventful day at the Patriots’ second open OTAs practice.

There was a fight, standout plays by rookies and more promising signs from quarterback Mac Jones and the offense at Day 2 of the New England Patriots’ open OTAs practice.

This was only the second time the Patriots’ OTAs session was made public to the media.

During an earlier media conference, coach Bill Belichick noted the team would have a lighter practice day. So things were a bit slower than usual on the football field.

Of course, that still didn’t stop tempers from flaring with linebacker Anfernee Jennings and offensive guard Cole Strange getting into a scuffle that led to a punch being thrown by defensive tackle Christian Barmore.

Both Barmore and Strange were pulled from practice after the incident, but they were still allowed to stay on the field and watch from the sidelines. It was an eventful day for the Patriots, to say the least.

Here are five of the biggest takeaways from Tuesday’s practice:

Patriots 2023 NFL draft preview: Where do Patriots stand at WR?

Mac Jones could use another big target. Will the Patriots draft a receiver in the first round?

The wide receiver position has long been a thorn in the side of the New England Patriots.

Even when Tom Brady was still under center, the Patriots struggled to keep top receiving talent on the field. It obviously isn’t due to a lack of trying considering they’ve used a first and second-round pick on a wideout in two of the last four NFL drafts.

The team has struggled drafting and developing players at the position. They also haven’t prioritized spending a lot of money for elite, playmaking receivers. Will this finally be the year where they go after one of the top wideouts on the draft board and hit a home run with the selection?

Let’s break down where the Patriots stand right now at the position ahead of the 2023 NFL draft.

Rising rookie Jack Jones listed among seven Patriots’ inactives vs Bengals

The Patriots could have big problems in the defensive backfield.

There could be big problems looming in the defensive backfield for the New England Patriots when looking at the team’s inactive list ahead of Saturday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

The two names that stand out immediately are cornerbacks Jalen Mills and Jack Jones, particularly with the Patriots facing one of the more prolific passing attacks in the NFL. Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is sitting pretty in an offense that includes the likes of Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd at the receiver position.

Not having Mills and Jones in the backfield could prove to be a detriment for the Patriots in this must-win matchup.

The team will also be without wideout DeVante Parker and running back Damien Harris on offense. Both players have missed multiple weeks with injuries, and their absences won’t help an offensive unit that’s already struggling this season.

The Patriots are entering this game with a 7-7 record and their backs against the wall as far as playoff contention is concerned. They’ll somehow have to turn things around as underdogs at home against one of the hottest teams in football.

Patriots fill special teams void, add OLB depth with two new signings

The Patriots are bolstering special teams and linebacker with two new additions

The New England Patriots have filled their two open roster spots with two new signings on Tuesday. Per ESPN’s Field Yates and Mike Reiss, the team is signing wide receiver/special teamer Raleigh Webb to the 53-man roster and outside linebacker Ron’Dell Carter to the practice squad.

The move to sign Webb was a direct response to Cody Davis going down with a knee injury in the team’s Week 6 win over the Cleveland Browns. On Tuesday, the veteran special teamer was placed on injured reserve.

Webb was signed off the Baltimore Ravens’ practice squad, and he’ll try to step in and help cushion the blow from losing a reliable and underrated player like Davis.

Meanwhile, Carter has been a journeyman that will be playing with his sixth different team in the last two years. This will be his first opportunity since getting waived by the Pittsburgh Steelers back in August.

Ravens elevate two players from practice squad for Week 2 matchup vs. Dolphins

The Ravens elevated two players from their practice squad for their Week 2 game against the Dolphins

The Baltimore Ravens will take on the Miami Dolphins in a Week 2 battle, featuring two teams that emerged victorious from their opening game of the 2022 season. There is immense talent on both sides, which should make for a rather close game when the clock hits zero.

On Saturday, Baltimore announced that they elevated two players from their practice squad in wide receiver Raleigh Webb and cornerback Daryl Worley. The duo will help with the depth at their respective positions, which have seen some injuries pop up over the coming days and weeks.

Both Webb and Worley played for the Ravens during the 2022 preseason, impressing in their action. Worley struggled during game action in 2021, but will hope to make an impact on the field this time around. Webb made multiple big plays during the team’s exhibition games, and will potentially have the ability to get on the field with fellow wide receiver James Proche II listed as doubtful with a groin injury.

 

Ravens TE Isaiah Likely believes Baltimore has best 2022 rookie class in NFL

Ravens rookie tight end Isaiah Likely thinks that the team’s 2022 draft class is the best in the NFL

The Baltimore Ravens are one of the best drafting teams in the NFL. They were able to pick up an impressive 2022 draft class, and through two games of the 2022 preseason have shown their ability, with players such as defensive lineman Travis Jones and tight end Isaiah Likely starting off extremely strong.

Likely was asked about how special the draft class can be, and the first-year player gave high praise to his fellow rookies. The tight end said that he feels that Baltimore has the best rookie class in the entire NFL, with many things factoring into his opinion, including the bond that the group has.

“I feel like we got the best rookie class in all 32. I mean the bond we have in the locker room even off the field is unique,  When Tyler (Huntley) scored we all celebrated when Raleigh (Webb) we all celebrated.  Even after Jordan’s (Stout) punt to put them down in the 15, we were jumping, and celebrating with Jordan because at the end of the day it’s just the love you want to show your teammates whether good play or bad play you always got to cheer them up and make them know that next play mentality so especially rookies playing in the preseason on their first NFL stage, first away game, you just need that and having your brother do that is always going to be a help”

Likely was one of six fourth-round selections that the Ravens made in 2022, with some of the others being fellow tight end Charlie Kolar, offensive lineman Daniel Faalele, punter Jordan Stout and cornerback Pepe Williams. Each of Baltimore’s 11 draft picks has the ability to make a big impact for the team, and they’re certainly off to a good start so far.
