Hurting at WR, Packers immediately bring back Travis Fulgham to practice squad

The Packers brought back WR Travis Fulgham to the practice squad on Thursday, just three days after releasing him.

The Green Bay Packers were without four receivers at Thursday’s practice, necessitating the need to bring back a familiar face at the position.

According to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, the Packers returned receiver Travis Fulgham to the practice squad on Thursday – just three days after releasing him to make room for linebacker DQ Thomas.

The corresponding move for bringing back Fulgham was releasing safety Mike Brown from the practice squad, per Schneidman.

Depth was needed. Allen Lazard (ankle), Randall Cobb (illness), Sammy Watkins (hamstring) and Christian Watson (hamstring) all missed practice on Thursday.

It’s certainly possible Fulgham will be elevated from the practice squad to the gameday roster for Sunday’s showdown with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The only healthy receivers on the roster are Romeo Doubs, Samori Toure and Amari Rodgers, and Juwann Winfree is on the practice squad. The Packers already elevated Winfree from the practice squad in Week 1, but he has two elevations left.

Fulgham (6-2, 215) has played in 17 career regular-season games. He has 38 catches for 529 yards and four scores, all coming with the Philadelphia Eagles over a 13-game stretch in 2020. That season, Fulgham spent a little over a week with the Packers during training camp.

The Packers claimed Fulgham off of waivers from the Broncos on Aug. 18. He played in one preseason game before being released and signed back to the practice squad.

Packers claim WR Travis Fulgham off waivers from Broncos

In need of numbers at wide receiver, the Packers claimed Travis Fulgham off of waivers from the Broncos on Wednesday.

The Green Bay Packers have claimed wide receiver Travis Fulgham, according to ESPN’s Field Yates. Fulgham was cut by the Denver Broncos on Tuesday and now finds himself back in Green Bay. He was a member of the Packers for nine days during training camp in 2020.

Fulgham was claimed by the Philadelphia Eagles less than a week later and went on to have his best season to date. He had an impressive five-game stretch in which he collected 29 catches for 435 yards and four touchdowns. His 539 receiving yards in 13 games were a team high.

In 2021, the Eagles waived Fulgham when making their final roster cuts. He was signed to the practice squad the next day, only to get released in October. He was briefly a member of the Miami Dolphins practice squad before signing with the Broncos at the tail of the regular season. Prior to his release from Denver, Fulgham caught one pass for 11 yards in their preseason opener against the Dallas Cowboys. 

At 6-2 and 211 pounds, Fulgham was originally selected by the Detroit Lions in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL draft out of Old Dominion. He has a solid blend of size and speed but has failed to stick to an NFL roster. 

Earlier Wednesday, Green Bay waived wide receiver Malik Taylor, but Fulgham still faces an uphill battle to make the final roster. His best bet will be to show out in the last two preseason games while carving out a role on special teams. 

The Packers needed depth at receiver with Taylor released, Danny Davis now injured and Christian Watson still working his way back from a knee injury.

Former Eagles WR Travis Fulgham claimed off waivers by the Packers

After being cut by the Denver Broncos, former Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Travis Fulgham was claimed by the Green Bay Packers

Travis Fulgham can be a contributor in the NFL, and he may have found the perfect situation to realize that potential.

After being waived by the Broncos in the first round of cuts, Fulgham will now catch passes from Aaron Rodgers after being claimed by the Green Bay Packers.

Fulgham has spent time on the Denver and Miami practice squads but will be best remembered for his five-week breakout in which he logged 435 receiving yards against the Steelers, Ravens, Giants, Cowboys, and Giants.

That five-game stretch of receiving yards was the most by any Eagles wide receiver since Jeremy Maclin had 456 in Weeks 8 through 12 of the 2014 season.

He finished the 2020 season with 38 catches for 539 yards and four touchdowns, and it assumed he could have a growing role in 2021.

Fulgham was promptly released and has spent the past two seasons looking to regain that magic.

Broncos sign former Eagles WR Travis Fulgham to a reserve/futures deal

#Denver #Broncos sign former #Eagles WR Travis #Fulgham to a reserve/futures deal

Travis Fulgham is on the move again, this time signing a reserve/futures deal with the Denver Broncos.

Fulgham joins a loaded wide receivers room that includes Jerry Jeudy, Courtland Sutton, K.J. Hamler, and Tim Patrick.

Fulgham took the NFL world by storm last season, logging 435 receiving yards against the Steelers, Ravens, Giants, Cowboys, and Giants. That five-game stretch of receiving yards was the most by any Eagles wide receiver since Jeremy Maclin had 456 in Weeks 8 through 12 of the 2014 season.

Fulgham was the NFL’s leading receiver during that stretch, but tailed off and has been the odd man out since.

Former Eagles WR Travis Fulgham released from Dolphins practice squad

Former Philadelphia #Eagles WR Travis #Fulgham has been released from the Miami #Dolphins practice squad and he could be an option for #FlyEaglesFly after the team placed Quez Watkins on the reserve-COVID-19 list

The Eagles are down a wide receiver after placing Quez Watkins on the reserve/COVID-19 list and a former breakout star could be on his way back.

Travis Fulgham was released from the Dolphins practice squad after Miami signed Tommylee Lewis and Dexter Williams to the practice squad in subsequent moves.

With Watkins out, Philadelphia will only have DeVonta Smith, Jalen Reagor, Greg Ward, and J.J. Arcega-Whiteside available for Sunday’s matchup against Washington and Fulgham could be a name to watch if Howie Roseman chooses to make a roster move.

The Eagles currently have Deon Cain, John Hightower, and KeeSean Johnson as wide receivers on the practice squad and could also look to elevate one of them.

Former Eagles WR Travis Fulgham signs to the Dolphins practice squad

Former Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Travis Fulgham signs to the Miami Dolphins practice squad

Travis Fulgham wasn’t unemployed long and he could find himself in a situation where he’s seeing targets in the near future after signing to the Dolphins practice squad.

The Dolphins currently have DeVante Parker, Will Fuller Preston Williams, rookie Jaylen Waddle and Albert Wilson on the roster at wide receiver.

Fulgham took the NFL world by storm last season, logging 435 receiving yards against the Steelers, Ravens, Giants, Cowboys, and Giants. That five-game stretch of receiving yards was the most by any Eagles wide receiver since Jeremy Maclin had 456 in Weeks 8 through 12 of the 2014 season.

Dolphins sign former Eagles WR Travis Fulgham to practice squad

Miami adds a veteran to their practice squad.

The Dolphins have had a litany of injuries at the wide receiver position. Will Fuller was placed on injured reserve following their Week 4 matchup, and DeVante Parker missed last week with a hamstring injury that limited him throughout the week of practice.

Miami also traded away Jakeem Grant to Chicago heading into Week 5 for a future draft pick, so quality depth is an obvious need for the team.

To address this clear issue, the Dolphins have reportedly upgraded their practice squad wide receivers. Miami has signed former Eagles wideout Travis Fulgham to the practice squad and released Brandon Powell to make room.

Fulgham, who was a sixth-round pick of the Detroit Lions back in 2019, spent all of the 2020 season as well as the beginning of this year with the Eagles in various capacities. In 2020, he recorded 38 receptions for 539 yards and four touchdowns in 13 games, as he became one of Carson Wentz’s favorite targets.

For Powell, if he wasn’t getting called up in Week 5 with all of the problems at the position, it’s not likely he would’ve been elevated this season.

It will obviously take some time for Fulgham to get adjusted to a new offense, but he can definitely be a depth piece down the line.

Eagles release WR Travis Fulgham off of the practice squad

Philadelphia Eagles release WR Travis Fulgham off of the practice squad

Around this time one year ago, Travis Fulgham was the talk of the NFL world, after logging 435 receiving yards against the Steelers, Ravens, Giants, Cowboys, and Giants. That five-game stretch of receiving yards was the most by any Eagles wide receiver since Jeremy Maclin had 456 in Weeks 8 through 12 of the 2014 season.

One year later, Fulgham has again been released, this time off of the Eagles practice squad.

Fulgham finished as the Eagles’ leading wide receiver in 2020, with 38 catches for 539 yards and four touchdowns.

Now he’s a free agent after being the odd man out of this summer’s receiving battle in training camp.

12 recently cut players the Patriots should consider adding

Here are 12 free agents from roster cutdown day that could improve the Patriots’ roster.

One of the most difficult days in the NFL comes right before the season begins.

Roster cutdown day hits and more than 500 players around the league are let go from the team they trained with during the offseason. But, there’s still hope for many of these players to either re-sign with the original team or found a home elsewhere.

The New England Patriots had to make some difficult decisions and let go of many talented players — including Cam Newton. New England’s 53-man roster is solidified at the moment, but there’s still some work to do.

Here are 12 players from roster cutdown day that could be find their way to the Patriots.

Philadelphia Eagles waive WR John Hightower

As the Eagles work to get down to the 53 player roster limit, John Hightower has also been waived according to John Clark and Dave Zangaro.

Hightower joins Travis Fulgham and Andre Patton as wide receivers who have been waived or released over the past 48 hours.

Hightower had 10 catches for 167 yards and zero touchdowns as a rookie, while the late cut means that J.J. Arcega-Whiteside will make the 53 man roster despite only having 12 career receptions over his first two seasons.
