News

  • Joins Atlanta

    Hughes signed a two-year contract with the Falcons on Monday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Hughes appeared in 16 games for the Lions in 2022, including a career-high six starts. He has experience playing both outside and in the slot, which should help Hughes fill a depth cornerback role in Atlanta.

  • Available against Jets

    Hughes (illness) is active for Sunday's game at the Jets, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: After coming down with an illness Thursday, Hughes appears set to play in Week 15. He should rotate behind Jeff Okudah and Will Harris on Sunday.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Hughes is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Jets due to an illness, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: Hughes failed to practice Thursday and Friday due to an illness, but he'll still have a chance to suit up Sunday. However, if the slot cornerback is sidelined, Amani Oruwariye and Jerry Jacobs would be candidates for increased snaps.

  • Amasses seven tackles

    Hughes recorded seven tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 34-23 win over the Vikings.

    Analysis: Hughes played all but two defensive snaps this past weekend versus Minnesota, and two of his seven stops were made behind or at the line of scrimmage. With fellow cornerback Will Harris (hip) still questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Jets, Hughes could once again find himself in a busy role Week 15.

  • Full participant Wednesday

    Hughes (knee) was a full participant in practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Hughes was ruled out for Week 8 against Miami due to a knee injury, but he was back at full strength for Wednesday's practice session. He's racked up 22 tackles (15 solo) through six contests in 2022.

  • Ruled out for Week 8

    Hughes (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: Hughes suffered the injury during the Lions' Week 7 loss to Dallas and was unable to practice throughout the week. He has held a consistent role in Detroit's secondary throughout the season, racking up 22 total tackles. Jerry Jacobs is likely to see an increased role as a result of Hughes' absence.

  • Catches on with Detroit

    Hughes signed a one-year, $3.5 million contract with the Lions on Monday, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.

    Analysis: Hughes appeared in all 17 games a season ago with Kansas City, finishing with 47 tackles (40 solo), six passes defensed, one interception, one touchdown, four forced fumbles and one fumble recovery. He also was utilized on special teams, totaling 25 kick return yards and 68 punt return yards. Hughes will be considered one of the top corners in Detroit, alongside Amani Oruwariye and Jeff Okudah.

  • Starts in stellar performance

    Hughes recorded nine tackles (eight solo), forced two fumbles and returned a fumble recovery for a touchdown in Sunday's 48-9 win over the Raiders.

    Analysis: Hughes led the Chiefs in tackles and was responsible for two turnovers, including one that he turned into a touchdown on the game's first play from scrimmage. The game marked the first time this season Hughes has played on every defensive snap, as he started in place of L'Jarius Sneed (personal), who was listed inactive prior to the game. If Sneed is able to play Thursday against the Chargers, Hughes will likely see his snaps scaled back.

  • Huge game vs. Eagles

    Hughes notched 10 tackles (nine solo), one pass breakup and one forced fumble during the Chiefs' win over the Eagles in Week 4.

    Analysis: Hughes finally handled an every-down role with his new team Week 4, playing 94 percent of defensive snaps and making the most of his opportunities. Charvarius Ward now appears back to full health, however, so Hughes stands to return to a rotational role for Sunday's upcoming matchup against Buffalo.

  • Fifth-year option declined

    The Vikings declined Hughes' team option for 2022 on Monday, Ben Goessling of the Star Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Hughes has had his career derailed by injuries since the Vikings grabbed him in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft, having missed 24 games over the last three seasons. The offseason addition of Patrick Peterson means Hughes isn't guaranteed a consistent role in the secondary during the 2021 campaign, which will now represent a contract year.

  • Going on IR

    Hughes (neck) was placed on IR on Friday, Chad Graff of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Hughes' neck injury isn't believed to be season-ending, but it will force him to sit out for at least three weeks. The earliest that the 2018 first-round pick could be back on the field will be Week 11 against the Cowboys.

    Published: Fri, Oct 30 at 12:36pm by Rotowire.com

  • Injury shouldn't be season-ending

    Hughes (neck) will miss Sunday's game against the Packers, but his injury doesn't appear to be season-ending, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    Analysis: The Vikings seem to be considering placing Hughes on IR as he works to recover from his lingering neck injury, but it's at least a piece of good news that he's expected to resume playing in 2020. With Holton Hill (foot) looking on track to miss a third straight game, Minnesota's secondary could rely heavily on rookies Jeff Gladney and Harrison Hand to step up against the Packers.

  • Season in doubt

    Hughes (neck) didn't practice Wednesday, and the Vikings are considering moving him to injured reserve, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The team is apparently weighing whether to shut down the 23-year-old for the season, so a return in the immediate future appears unlikely. Hughes has been dealing with the neck issue for more than a month and has appeared in only four games this season.

    Published: Wed, Oct 28 at 6:18pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Injured during Week 6

    Hughes (neck) is doubtful to return to Sunday's matchup against the Falcons.

    Analysis: The third-year cornerback has been dealing with a neck issue throughout the early stages of 2020, as he was forced to miss the Vikings' Week 3 and 4 matchups against Houston and Tennessee. Hughes made it through last Sunday's loss to the Seahawks with no issue, playing 80 percent of the defensive snaps, but he's on the sideline once again and unlikely to return against Atlanta in Week 6.

  • Practices fully Wednesday

    Hughes (neck) was a full practice participant Wednesday.

    Analysis: Barring a setback, the 2018 first-round pick looks ready to return to the lineup Sunday against the Seahawks. He's expected to resume starting duties, and he'll have his hands full against Russell Wilson, Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf. Through the first two games this season, Hughes allowed a 155.6 passer rating when targeted.

  • Out again Sunday

    Hughes (neck) was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans.

    Analysis: Hughes will sit for the second straight contest as he continues to battle the neck injury. Cameron Dantzler (ribs) is clear of the injury report and should step into the starting role in Hughes' absence.

    Published: Fri, Oct 2 at 12:02pm by Rotowire.com

  • Will miss Week 3

    Hughes (neck) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Titans.

    Analysis: Minnesota will be short in the secondary with fellow cornerback Cameron Dantzler (ribs) also ruled out. Hughes' next chance to suit up will come in Week 4 against the Texans.

    Published: Fri, Sep 25 at 10:50am by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Sits out practice Wednesday

    Hughes (neck) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: The Vikings' defense has struggled over the first two weeks, and Hughes is part of the issue, allowing a 155.6 passer rating when targeted through the first two games. However, he's still the team's best option at the position, so a swift recovery ahead of Sunday's matchup versus the Titans would be ideal. With Cameron Dantzler (ribs) also hurt, rookie Jeff Gladney is on standby if both can't play.

  • Struggles in pass coverage

    Hughes started at cornerback and had seven total tackles in Sunday's 43-34 loss to Green Bay.

    Analysis: Hughes and his teammates struggled in coverage all afternoon against a prolific Aaron Rodgers. The veteran corner gave up six receptions on six targets, including a touchdown, for a 158.3 NFL QB rating against, according to Pro Football Focus. Hughes will need to improve as the team's top cornerback for the Vikings to have a chance to remain competitive week to week. Notably, he wasn't used in the return game Sunday as a result of his importance to the secondary, which hurts his fantasy value.

  • Shows versatility in scrimmage

    Hughes started as an outside cornerback when the Vikings were in their base defense in Friday's dress rehearsal scrimmage at U.S. Bank Stadium, then moved inside to the slot in nickel defense formations, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    Analysis: Hughes missed the final regular season game of last season and both payoff games due to a neck injury. However, it looks like he's back to full strength in training camp. Hughes finds himself atop the Vikings' cornerback depth chart with the departure of Xavier Rhodes and Trae Waynes.

  • All clear from injury

    Coach Mike Zimmer said Monday that Hughes' neck injury healed up, and he's officially healthy, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    Analysis: Hughes sustained the knock making a tackle in the 2019 regular-season finale against Chicago, but more detailed examination revealed no significant damage, with the injury healing on its own. The 2018 first-round pick all of the sudden finds himself atop the Vikings' cornerback depth chart heading into 2020 with both Xavier Rhodes and Trae Waynes departing for new teams this offseason.

  • Should be ready for OTAs

    Head coach Mike Zimmer said Hughes (neck) is expected to be ready for the offseason program, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    Analysis: Hughes missed both postseason games, and for the second time in his two-year career, he ended the season on injured reserve. The Vikings' offseason program is set to begin in late April, and Hughes could be in line for a hefty role in 2020 if the team doesn't re-sign Trae Waynes. Hughes finished the 2019 campaign with 45 tackles (39 solo), nine pass breakups and an interception over 14 games.

  • Hits injured reserve

    The Vikings placed Hughes (neck) on inured reserve Friday.

    Analysis: Hughes appears to have sustained a neck injury during Thursday's practice, during which he was limited. In a corresponding move to the 2018 first-round pick's placement on IR, the Vikings re-signed Marcus Sherels. Hughes wraps up the season with 45 tackles (39 solo), nine defended passes, one interception and one forced fumble across 14 contests. He also contributed as a punt returner.

  • Limited in Thursday's practice

    Hughes was limited in Thursday's practice due to a neck injury.

    Analysis: Hughes practiced without restrictions Wednesday, so Thursday's limited session represents a minor step in the wrong direction. Of course, there's not yet any reason to worry about his availability for Sunday's playoff contest in New Orleans.

  • Good to go Week 15

    Hughes (oblique) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

    Analysis: Hughes suffered the oblique injury during last Sunday's win over the Lions, but he was able to practice this week and avoid an injury designation. The 22-year-old should serve his usual role as a rotational defensive back and punt returner in Los Angeles.

    Published: Fri, Dec 13 at 3:14pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Sidelined Sunday

    Hughes (oblique) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Lions, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    Analysis: It's unclear how Hughes picked up the injury, but he was forced to leave the game in the fourth quarter. He now joins fellow cornerback Xavier Rhodes (ankle) on the sideline, and that leaves Mackensie Alexander and Holton Hill to see an increase in snaps.

  • Starting against Cowboys

    Hughes will start at cornerback Sunday against the Cowboys since Trae Waynes (personal) is inactive.

    Analysis: This is a huge opportunity for Hughes. He had lofty expectations after being selected in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft, but Hughes tore his ACL during his sixth pro game. He and Xavier Rhodes will be tasked with shutting down Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup in this prime-time matchup.

  • Sheds injury tag

    Hughes (knee) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Hughes was limited in Thursday's practice due to a knee issue, but he already appears back to full health. With Trae Waynes (ankle) listed as questionable, Hughes could be in line for an expanded role in Minnesota's secondary during Sunday's tilt against the Cowboys.

    Published: Fri, Nov 8 at 11:02am by Rotowire.com

  • Limited Thursday

    Hughes was limited in Thursday's practice due to a knee injury.

    Analysis: Hughes wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, indicating that his knee issue may have been sustained during weekly practices. The second-year pro will have one more opportunity to practice in full ahead of Sunday's tilt against the Cowboys.
