News

  • Will play Sunday

    Roberts (knee) is active Sunday against the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Roberts was activated from IR on Saturday but he was considered questionable to play Week 17. His return will bolster the Panthers' depth at wide receiver, while he'll likely take back over return duties, a role that he held Week 1 against the Browns.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Roberts (knee), whom the Panthers activated from injured reserve Saturday, is questionable for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay due to an illness, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Roberts has been on IR since playing in the season opener, when he had two kick returns for 35 yards and one punt return for 10 yards during a 26-24 loss to the Browns. While his knee injury is behind him, his status is up in the air ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. According to Newton, though, there's an expectation that Roberts is available, which will be unveiled when Carolina posts its list of inactives.

  • Set to return

    Roberts (knee) was activated off injured reserve Saturday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Roberts acts almost strictly as the team's return man when healthy, but it'll be interesting to monitor if he returns to that capacity after missing the last 13 games. Raheem Blackshear has done well as an explosive kick returner recently.

  • Nearing return from IR

    Carolina designated Roberts (knee) to return from its injured reserve list Tuesday ahead of Saturday's game versus Detroit, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: After missing Carolina's last 13 games recovering from a sprained PCL he sustained in Week 1 versus Cleveland, Roberts appears to have a chance to suit up for Week 16. The 34-year-old wideout played all 11 of his snaps on special teams, serving as a punt and kick returner in the season opener, but it's not a given he'd reclaim those roles Saturday even if fully healthy.

  • Placed on IR

    The Panthers placed Roberts (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Roberts, who dealt with a knee injury during the preseason, was diagnosed with a PCL sprain after playing in Sunday's season-opening loss to the Browns, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Though Roberts will avoid surgery, he'll be forced to miss at least four games after landing on IR. In his absence, Shi Smith is expected to take over as the primary punt returner, while Chuba Hubbard and Laviska Shenault would be options on kickoffs.

  • Could miss time

    Coach Matt Rhule said Tuesday that Roberts' knee injury "could be an issue," Schuyler Callihan of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: Roberts has been dealing with his knee injury since the preseason, but he appears to have aggravated the issue Week 1. If the veteran wideout is forced to miss time, Shi Smith and Chuba Hubbard will stand to step up in the return game.

  • Signs one-year deal with Carolina

    The Panthers signed Roberts to a one-year deal Monday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Roberts has caught just 19 passes over the last five seasons, but he's a proven return man, which was a glaring need for Carolina this offseason. The veteran has six career return touchdowns, including a 101-yard kickoff return against the Broncos last season.

  • Activated off reserve/COVID-19 list

    Roberts was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Analysis: The wide receiver missed Week 16 after testing positive for COVID-19 last Monday. Roberts will be back returning kicks for the Chargers in Week 17 against the Broncos, a spot where he has logged a total of 429 return yards.

  • Lands on COVID-19 list

    The Chargers placed Roberts on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.

    Analysis: According to Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times, head coach Brandon Staley labeled Roberts as day-to-day, which would seem to suggest that the 33-year-old wideout is on the list as a vaccinated player that tested positive for the virus. Per the NFL's new COVID-19 protocols, Roberts will be eligible to rejoin the team as soon as he's deemed to be asymptomatic. Roberts thus has an outside shot of gaining clearance prior to Sunday's game against the Texans. He's appeared in eight games for Los…read more

  • Signs with Chargers

    Roberts signed a contract with the Chargers on Thursday.

    Analysis: Roberts was let go by the Texans on Monday but will now have a week and a half to learn the Chargers' system prior to the Week 8 matchup against the Patriots on Oct. 31. He'll presumably serve as the primary kick returner if Nasir Adderley (hip) is unable to return after the bye week.

  • Drawing interest from Chargers

    The Chargers are expected to sign Roberts on Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Roberts was released by the Texans on Monday and appears to have quickly found a new team. Nasir Adderley, the Chargers primary kick returner and starting free safety, had to leave Week 6 early with a hip injury, so if Roberts is signed, he may take over return duties when the Chargers return from their bye week.

  • Let go by Houston

    Roberts was released by the Texans on Monday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Roberts was utilized primarily as a kick and punt returner through the first six weeks of the season, racking up 386 kick-return yards and 33 punt-return yards. He also hauled in one catch for 35 yards. Roberts will now look for work elsewhere following a brief stint with his seventh different NFL team.

  • Should help replace Amendola

    Roberts is expected to see more reps in three-receiver sets Sunday against the Patriots with Danny Amendola (thigh) inactive for the contest, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Houston's decision to release Anthony Miller earlier this week hinted that Amendola would likely be ready to play after missing the previous two contests, but the veteran slot man will ultimately sit out another game. Brandin Cooks and Chris Conley are locked in as starting receivers for Houston, and Roberts looks like the top candidate to fill out the No. 3 wideout spot ahead of Chris Moore and Davion Davis, who have combined to play just two snaps on offense this season. Roberts, meanwhile,…read more

  • Forced into duty

    Roberts caught one of two targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 31-21 loss to Cleveland.

    Analysis: Roberts has played fewer than 200 offensive snaps in each season since 2016, but he was forced into action Sunday after injuries to Nico Collins (shoulder) and Danny Amendola (hamstring). This is the byproduct of carrying five running backs on the 53-man roster; the Texans only have six players listed as wide receivers, even though Roberts is really a return specialist. Collins and Amendola joined Anthony Miller, who was healthy but inactive after dealing with a shoulder injury during the…read more

  • Absent from injury report

    Roberts (knee) isn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Coach David Culley previously said Roberts was expected to be available for the season opener, so it's not a major surprise to see him clear of the injury report. The 33-year-old is expected to handle return duties and work as a depth wideout during his first year in Houston.

  • On track for regular-season opener

    Coach David Culley said Monday that Roberts (knee) is on track for Sept. 12's season opener against the Jaguars, Deepi Sidhu of the Texans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Culley said Roberts, who was sidelined for all of Houston's preseason matchups, "is progressing well." Per independent NFL journalist Aaron Wilson, Roberts dealt with a bruised knee and had it drained. It will be a notable boon for the Texans if the Pro Bowl return specialist is indeed able to avoid missing any regular-season time.

  • Dealing with bruised knee

    Roberts has been absent from practice as he rehabs from a bruised knee, independent NFL journalist Aaron Wilson reports.

    Analysis: Roberts was held out of all the Texans' preseason contests with an unknown injury, which has now been disclosed as a bruised knee. Despite his inactivity, there is no concern that he won't be ready for Week 1. The 33-year-old return specialist has amassed 200-plus punt-return yards in five straight seasons.

  • Not yet practicing

    Roberts hasn't been at practice recently for an unspecified reason, independent NFL journalist Aaron Wilson reports.

    Analysis: Roberts was held out of each of Houston's first two preseason games, and he apparently hasn't joined the team for practice recently. While the Texans haven't given a reason for the 33-year-old's absence, he's expected to be ready by Week 1. Assuming he's healthy for the start of the regular season, Roberts is expected to serve as the primary return man and as a depth receiver.

  • Will not play Saturday

    Roberts will not play in Saturday's preseason opener against the Packers, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.

    Analysis: It has not been reported that Roberts is dealing with an injury, so it would appear the veteran is simply getting the night off. Roberts is in line to serve as the Texans' primary return man and as a reserve receiver for his new team.

  • Signs on with Houston

    Roberts is signing a two-year contract with the Texans, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The contract reportedly is worth up to $5.95 million, though some of that may be in unlikely-to-be-earned incentives. Roberts primarily has served as a return specialist throughout the second half of his career, reaching the Pro Bowl three straight seasons from 2018 to 2020. It's an odd luxury signing for a team that otherwise seems to be rebuilding, unless the team for some reason thinks Roberts can reemerge as a receiving threat in his age-33 campaign.

  • Ready for primetime

    Roberts (back) practiced fully Saturday after being limited in this week's other practice and does not have an injury designation for Monday's game at New England.

    Analysis: The elite return man will resume his normal kickoff and punt return duties in the Monday Night Football matchup. Roberts leads the NFL by a good margin with 1,173 total return yards this season.

  • Working through back injury

    Roberts, who exited the Week 15 win over the Broncos with a back injury, was listed as a limited participant on Thursday's practice report.

    Analysis: Roberts has proven time after time that he's one of the league's best return men, so the Bills would love to have him back as close to full health as possible as they try to sweep the season series against the Patriots on Monday for the first time since 1999.

  • Cleared to play in Week 14

    Roberts (Achilles) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against Pittsburgh.

    Analysis: Roberts upgraded to a full practice Friday after a pair of limited sessions, clearing him to suit up. He has just two catches this season, but Roberts' value comes primarily as a return man on special teams, as he's earned Pro Bowl honors in that role in each of the previous two campaigns.

  • Limited second straight day

    Roberts was limited for the second consecutive day Thursday due to an Achilles injury.

    Analysis: Coach Sean McDermott tends to take it easy on his veterans, especially this time of year, so while Roberts' injury is something to keep an eye on, we're optimistic about him playing in such a big upcoming matchup this week when the Bills take on the Steelers.

  • Limited with Achilles injury

    Roberts (Achilles) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: This is the first mention of an Achilles injury for Roberts. The veteran return specialist's practice participation will be worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's high-profile matchup with the Steelers, but there's little to suggest that his status for the game is in danger at this point.

  • Kick return guru

    Roberts returned four kickoffs for 111 yards and three punts for 26 yards in Sunday's win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: The game got fairly close in the second half, so Roberts' return yardage became a big difference maker in the contest. While he barely contributes on offense -- he has just two catches on three targets all season -- Roberts leads the league with 909 return yards and is about as good as it gets if your league uses those categories. Roberts led the league in 2018 with 1,498 total return yards and was second in 2019 with 887.

  • Ready to play Tuesday

    Roberts (ankle) is active for Tuesday's game versus the Titans.

    Analysis: Roberts was limited during Saturday's session and has proven he's healthy enough to play in the rare Tuesday outing. The veteran receiver could enjoy some extra reps on offense with John Brown (knee) sitting out, but he'll mainly work as a kick and punt returner.

  • Questionable for Week 5

    Roberts (ankle) was a limited participant for Saturday's walkthrough practice and is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game in Tennessee, the Bills official site reports.

    Analysis: Roberts doesn't see much action on offense, but he's one of the best return men in the league and consistently puts the Bills' suddenly high-powered offense in good field position, so his presence is important toward the team's chances of starting out 5-0.

  • DNP to start week

    Roberts (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: Roberts appears to have suffered an ankle injury during Sunday's win over the Raiders, during which he caught his first target of the season for six yards. If the veteran special-teams ace were forced to miss any time, Isaiah McKenzie would stand to take over as Buffalo's top return man.

  • Major return threat

    Roberts returned five punts for 69 yards and one kickoff for 31 yards during Sunday's win over the Jets.

    Analysis: The veteran only saw two plays on offense and seems to be the No. 6 receiver, but he's also the top guy on both return squads and should be among the league leaders all season. Roberts accrued 664 kickoff return yards in 2019, fourth in the league, and he did so in just 13 games played. His 223 punt return yards ranked eighth. The previous season with the Jets, Roberts led the NFL in kickoff return yards and was second in punt return yards. He's essentially the Saquon Barkley of special teams…read more

  • Back with Bills

    Buffalo re-signed Roberts on Sunday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Roberts was cut in a move likely relating to the salary cap Saturday, but he now rejoins the Bills only a day later. He'll reprise his usual key role in the return game and as a depth receiver.

  • Released by Buffalo

    The Bills released Roberts on Saturday, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Although Roberts was released, the team plans to re-sign him Sunday and roster him the entire season. The move is likely related to the salary cap, but the Bills don't want to lose Roberts, who averaged 26.6 yards (fifth in the league) on 25 kickoff returns and 8.0 yards (10th) on 28 punt returns in 2019.

  • Boosts special teams

    Roberts averaged 26.6 yards on 25 kickoff returns (fifth in the NFL among qualifiers) and 8.0 yards (10th in the NFL) on 28 punt returns this season in 13 games.

    Analysis: Roberts didn't do much in the passing game, catching just three of seven targets for 20 yards all season, but he remains one of the league's better return men and we imagine the Bills will be happy to have him back after he signed a two-year deal in March.

  • Questionable for Houston

    Roberts (foot) practiced on a limited basis for the third straight day Thursday and is listed as questionable for Saturday's playoff game in Houston.

    Analysis: The lean seems to be Roberts playing in the big game, where he won't add much to the offense but does have the ability to change the contest with his fantastic return abilities.

  • Appears in practice

    Updating a previous report, Roberts (foot) was able to practice on a limited basis Tuesday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: Roberts said afterward that his injured foot held up well, so it looks like he could play in this weekend's playoff game in Houston. The veteran doesn't add much offensively (just three catches on seven targets all season), but he's one of the league's better return men, an area that could make a difference in what figures to be a tight game between two good-but-not-great teams.

  • No practice Tuesday

    Roberts (foot) is not participating in Tuesday's practice, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Roberts hasn't participated in practice since suffering a foot injury Week 16. He'll have two more chances to upgrade his activity ahead of Saturday's wild-card playoff round in Houston. Devin Singletary and Micah Hyde will be called upon to handle kick and punt return duties, respectively, if Roberts is forced to miss any more time.

  • Ruled out for Week 17

    Roberts (foot) is ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Jets.

    Analysis: Roberts has missed three straight practices due to a foot injury sustained Week 16. The Bills would normally call upon Devin Singletary and Micah Hyde to handle kick and punt return duties, respectively, though with the No. 5 seed in the AFC all locked up, the team may just play it safe with those two key players and let others get some time returning kicks, such as Isaiah McKenzie on punts.

  • Sidelined again

    Roberts (foot) is not practicing Thursday, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Roberts has missed back-to-back practices due to a foot injury sustained Week 16. He's not trending in the right direction for Sunday's divisional tilt against the Jets. If Roberts were to miss any time, Devin Singletary and Micah Hyde would be called upon to field kick and punt returns, respectively.

  • Projected as non-participant

    Roberts (foot) was projected as a non-participant in the team's injury report Wednesday.

    Analysis: Roberts sustained a previously unspecified injury in the team's Week 16 loss to the Patriots. The first practice report of the week indicates that he suffered a foot injury, and his projected non-participation isn't a positive sign for his availability Sunday against the Jets.

  • Picks up injury

    Coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Roberts sustained an unspecified injury during Saturday's loss to the Patriots, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Roberts wasn't targeted on 13 offensive snaps but returned two kicks for 57 yards and one punt for 17 yards. The 31-year-old's potential availability for the regular-season finale should come into focus when the Bills return to practice later this week, though for now we'll note the team has nothing to play for this week as the locked-in No. 5 seed.

  • Sees snaps on offense

    Roberts caught one of two targets for seven yards during Sunday's win over the Steelers. He also returned two kickoffs for 45 yards and one punt for 12 yards.

    Analysis: Roberts saw 26 percent of the offensive snaps, his second-most playing time on offense this season. While he only sees the occasional look in the passing game, they still give him a little extra fantasy value in formats that reward his fine return skills. Roberts' 607 kickoff return yards ranks fourth in the league through 14 weeks, while his 206 punt return yards ranks sixth.

  • Snags catch in loss

    Roberts caught one of three targets for seven yards during Sunday's 19-16 loss to Cleveland, adding 115 yards on five kick returns and 34 yards on two punt returns.

    Analysis: Roberts' three targets were his most of 2019 and his catch was just his second of the season. The veteran has been an effective returner for Buffalo, ranking fourth in the league with 28.6 yards per kick return and 14th in the league at 6.9 yards per punt return, but his value seems to begin and end there. He shouldn't be on your radar Sunday against a rapidly improving Dolphins squad.
