Steve Slaton sticks with Texans

RB Steve Slaton has somewhat surprisingly made the Texans’ 53-man roster.  It was widely-believed that he’d be traded or released, but Houston will keep him around as a 4th RB.  RB Arian Foster’s bum hamstring probably had a lot to do with th…

Cedric Benson released from prison

Bengals RB Cedric Benson was released from jail on Saturday.  He ended up serving only 4 days of what was originally a 20-day sentence.  Benson will be in Cincinnati’s Week 1 starting lineup, and his fantasy stock is unaffected.

Brandon Tate released

The Patriots have released WR Brandon Tate.  The 2009 3rd-round pick has yet to develop as a WR, and his special teams value is diminished with the new kickoff rules.  His big-play ability will land him a job with another team, but Tate is of…

Tony Moeaki done for the year with torn ACL

Chiefs TE Tony Moeaki is done for the year after suffering a torn ACL in the preseason finale.  HC Todd Haley is going to catch a lot of flak for this one after leaving his starters in the game into the 2nd quarter.  TE Leonard Pope is next u…

Seyi Ajirotutu and Laurent Robinson released

Shawn Nelson released

The Bills have released TE Shawn Nelson.  A 4th-round pick back in 2009, Nelson has struggled with injuries and managed just 21 catches in his first 2 NFL seasons.  Buffalo will go with David Martin and Scott Chandler at TE.  Neithe…
