News

  • Lands on IR

    Rodgers (knee) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

    Analysis: The backup tight end played a combined 13 offensive snaps over the past two weeks, but Rodgers was a bit more of an offensive factor for the Chargers when Gerald Everett was limited by a knee injury earlier in November. Expect undrafted rookie Stone Smartt to continue surging up the depth chart in Rodgers' absence.

  • Iffy for Week 14

    Rodgers is questionable for Sunday's matchup against Miami due to a knee injury.

    Analysis: Rodgers landed on the injury report Friday as a non-participant in the Chargers' final Week 14 practice. If the backup tight end is ruled out against Miami, Stone Smartt and Tre' McKitty would be the only healthy options behind Gerald Everett.

  • Another playing-time boost

    Rodgers did not record a target in the 30-27 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

    Analysis: Rodgers did see 21 offensive snaps with Gerald Everett (groin) sidelined, but that wasn't enough to elicit a target. Both Rodgers and nominal starter Tre' McKitty did not see any passing looks among the tight ends as the lone pass attempt ended up going to third-stringer Stone Smartt in a bit of a junk-time checkdown. Expect Rodgers' playing time to fall to the wayside upon Everett's return.

  • Sees increase in playing time

    Rodgers caught his lone target for four yards in Sunday's 22-16 loss to the 49ers

    Analysis: The veteran castoff saw 13 snaps Sunday after Gerald Everett was forced to leave the game with a groin injury. While Tre' McKitty would likely see a significant increase in snaps if Everett were to miss extended time, Rodgers could also see a bump in playing time as the nominal pass-catching tight end of the pair.

  • Bumped up from practice squad

    The Chargers signed Rodgers off their practice squad Wednesday.

    Analysis: Rodgers was elevated on game day for each of the Chargers' first three games, recording one target over 12 offensive snaps played. The 30-year-old has provided depth behind Tre' McKitty while the Bolts' No. 2 tight end Donald Parham (hamstring) has been sidelined so far this season. Rodgers likely will continue to see limited usage until Parham suits up again.

  • Reverts to practice squad

    Rodgers reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Analysis: Rodgers played on just three of the Bolts' 61 offensive snaps during his last available practice-squad elevation with the team Sunday. The 30-year-old tight end was not targeted for the second game in a row, though he did see his first special-teams action of the season (two snaps). Rodgers essentially served as the Chargers' third-string tight end with Donald Parham (hamstring) sidelined the past three weeks, though he'll need to garner an active roster spot in order to play for the team…read more

  • Will be active vs. Jacksonville

    The Chargers elevated Rodgers from their practice squad Saturday for Week 3.

    Analysis: This will be the third consecutive week Rodgers is active for the Chargers and the last time he's eligible to be elevated from the practice squad before he would have to be signed to the team's active roster in order to suit up. The 30-year-old tight end has operated primarily as a blocker and has seen just one target through two games this season.

  • Back on practice squad

    Rodgers reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Analysis: Rodgers joined the Chargers' active roster for a second consecutive week during Thursday's game against Kansas City with Donald Parham (hamstring) once again sidelined. However, Rodgers was on the field for just seven of the team's 75 offensive snaps and wasn't targeted during the loss.

  • Bumped up from practice squad

    Rodgers was elevated to the Chargers' active roster heading into the team's game against the Chiefs on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Rodgers will once again add tight end depth for the Chargers with Donald Parham (hamstring) out for the second straight game. Rodgers was also called up from the Chargers' practice squad in Week 1, recording one target over two offensive snaps played.

  • Returns to practice squad

    Rodgers reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Analysis: Rodgers saw the field for two snaps in the team's win over the Raiders on Sunday. He did see one target but was unable to bring it in.

  • Joining active roster

    Rodgers has been elevated to the Chargers' active roster for their season opening game against the Raiders.

    Analysis: Rodgers was cut by Philly during final roster cuts and ended up landing on the Chargers' practice squad. He made enough of an impression to get called up for Week 1 and will be available to provide depth at tight end.

  • Inks practice squad deal

    The Chargers signed Rodgers to their practice squad Monday.

    Analysis: Rodgers was released by the Eagles ahead of the 53-man roster deadline and will have to settle for a practice-squad role to start the 2022 campaign. The 2014 third-round pick caught 58 passes for 510 yards and eight touchdowns in 2015 but has yet to replicate that type of success.

  • Let go by Philly

    Rodgers was released by the Eagles on Monday, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Analysis: Rodgers will be released by Philadelphia heading into the team's final 53-man roster cuts for the second straight year. The 30-year-old tight end still caught two passes for 11 yards over three elevations from the Eagles' practice squad last regular season, and he caught 24 passes for 345 yards and two scores over 14 games as recently as 2020. Rodgers will now likely look to catch on in a veteran backup role elsewhere in 2022, unless he ends up returning to Philly's practice squad once again.

  • Activated from PUP list

    Rodgers (undisclosed) was activated from the PUP list on Wednesday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    Analysis: Rodgers began training camp on the PUP list for undisclosed reasons and will now turn his attention to earning a roster spot. He appeared in three games with the Eagles in 2021, posting two receptions for 11 yards.

  • Goes on PUP list

    Rodgers (undisclosed) was placed on the active/PUP list Wednesday.

    Analysis: Rodgers spent the majority of 2021 on the Eagles' practice squad and will certainly be in a battle for a roster spot once he is healthy in camp. Formally a consistent contributor on the Packers, Rodgers hasn't had the same impact in Philadelphia over his previous four seasons. With no obvious option behind Dallas Goedert, Rodgers will work to make an impact this season.

  • Makes four appearances in 2021

    Rodgers finished the 2021 campaign with two catches for 11 yards across four appearances.

    Analysis: Rodgers spent the majority of the season on the practice squad, but he was elevated in back-to-back weeks following the trade of Zach Ertz at the end of October. However, both of Rodgers' catches came against the Cowboys in Week 18, when he played a season-high 37 snaps. He suited up for the Eagles' wild-card loss to Tampa Bay, but he saw a season-low three snaps. The 30-year-old is set to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, but it's unclear if he will draw much interest from around…read more

  • Signed to active roster

    The Eagles signed Rodgers to their active roster Saturday.

    Analysis: Rodgers was elevated from Philadelphia's practice squad three times during the regular season, and he'll now earn a contract. He hauled in both of his targets for 11 yards across his three appearances this year and will serve as depth at tight end during Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Rodgers appeared in his third game of the 2021 campaign in Week 18 against the Cowboys, logging 38 offensive snaps and 17 on special teams. He caught both of his targets for 11 yards and recorded two tackles on the day.

  • Elevated from practice squad

    The Eagles elevated Rodgers from their practice squad Saturday.

    Analysis: Rodgers will be available for Saturday's matchup against the Cowboys as he joins the active roster for the first time since early November. He wasn't targeted in either of his first two appearances this year but could see some work in the passing game since Dallas Goedert (illness) and Jack Stoll (illness) are on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

    Rodgers reverted to Philadelphia's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Analysis: Rodgers joined the Eagles active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders. The veteran was on the field for seven offensive snaps and failed to see a target. Rodgers was elevated to provide depth following the trade of Zach Ertz, but he now must await his next opportunity to be called up to the active roster.

    Rodgers was elevated from the Eagles' practice squad Saturday.

  • Back with Philly's practice squad

    The Eagles signed Rodgers to their practice squad Wednesday.

    Analysis: With Zach Ertz jettisoned to Arizona, the Eagles have elected to bring back Rodgers for his third stint with Philadelphia this season. Jack Stool is the only healthy tight end on the Eagles' active roster heading into Week 7, so Rodgers is a likely candidate to be promoted from the practice squad for Sunday's contest against the Raiders.

  • Cut loose

    Rodgers was released from the Cardinals' practice squad Saturday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Rodgers was signed to the practice squad Wednesday, so his time with the team was short lived. His release is likely due to the team's recent acquisition of Zach Ertz, who will replace Maxx Williams (knee) as the primary tight end in Arizona.

  • Joins Arizona's practice squad

    The Cardinals signed Rodgers to their practice squad Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official website reports.

    Analysis: Rodgers will provide valuable depth to the Cardinals' tight end room after Maxx Williams was placed on injured reserve. Darrell Daniels and Demetrius Harris are the only two healthy tight ends on Arizona's roster currently, so a promotion for Rodgers could be on the horizon.

  • Released by Philly

    The Eagles cut Rodgers from their practice squad Tuesday.

    Analysis: The Eagles released Rodgers before the initial 53-man roster deadline, but they brought him back ahead of Week 3 after Zach Ertz was placed in COVID-19 protocols. Ertz was able to clear protocols in time to play in Monday night's contest, so Rodgers has become expendable once again. The 29-year-old appeared in 14 games for Philly last season, catching 24 of 31 targets for 345 yards and two touchdowns.

  • Joins Philly's practice squad

    The Eagles signed Rodgers to their practice squad Tuesday.

    Analysis: Rodgers was released by the Eagles ahead of the initial 53-man roster deadline, but he will rejoin the team after Zach Ertz was placed in COVID-19 protocols. The 29-year-old appeared in 14 games for the Eagles last season and caught 24 of 31 targets for 345 yards and two touchdowns. If Ertz can't clear protocols before Monday's contest with the Cowboys, then Rodgers has a good chance of being promoted to the active roster.

    The Eagles cut Rodgers on Tuesday, EJ Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Analysis: Rodgers appeared in 14 games for the Eagles last season, catching 24 of 31 targets for 345 yards and two touchdowns. The 29-year-old was thought to be in a position for a bigger role this season, as Zach Ertz was on the trading block for most of the offseason, but it appears to be the other way around. Jack Stoll is likely to be the No. 3 tight end behind Dallas Goedert and Ertz.

    Rodgers (ankle) agreed to a contract with the Eagles on Friday.

    Analysis: The 29-year-old appeared in 14 games for Philadelphia last season and caught 24 of 31 targets for 345 yards and two touchdowns. Rodgers should be positioned as the team's No. 3 tight end, but he could end up as Dallas Goedert's top backup with Zach Ertz on the trade block.

  • Won't face Washington on SNF

    Rodgers (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday night's game against Washington.

    Analysis: Rodgers has been listed as a non-participant for six consecutive practice sessions since injuring his ankle mid-contest Week 15 against the Cardinals. The veteran tight end will close out the 2020 campaign with back-to-back missed games after suiting up for Philadelphia's first 14 outings of the season. Rodgers ends the year without a reception over his final three appearances, having posted a total of 24 catches for 345 yards and two touchdowns on the season.

  • Misses another practice

    Rodgers (ankle) did not practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Rodgers hasn't practiced or played since injuring his ankle Week 15, and it seems like he's trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Football Team. With Dallas Goedert (calf) also absent from practice, Caleb Wilson could work as the No. 2 tight end behind Zach Ertz.

  • DNP at practice

    Rodgers (ankle) was absent from Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Rodgers missed last week's loss to the Cowboys after injuring his ankle the week prior. He will presumably need to get some reps at practice in order to have a chance at suiting up in the team's upcoming regular-season finale versus Washington.

  • Unavailable Week 16

    Rodgers (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Dallas.

    Analysis: The 28-year-old sustained the injury during last week's loss to the Cardinals, and he'll be sidelined for at least one game. Rodgers has seen a significant reduction in playing time since Zach Ertz returned from injured reserve Week 13. Dallas Goedert and Ertz will continue to operate as Philadelphia's top-two tight ends this weekend.

  • Misses practice Thursday

    Rodgers (ankle) did not practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Rodgers was carted off the field Sunday with what was initially called a shin injury, but it appears that the area of concern is more directly his ankle. The tight end also sat out Wednesday's practice, so his status for Sunday's contest against Dallas appears to be in serious jeopardy. However, Rodgers' contributions have diminished significantly since the return of Zach Ertz, and he has failed to notch a catch since Week 12.

  • Done for the day

    Rodgers (shin) will not return to Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Rodgers was carted off the field in the first half, so it never seemed very likely that he would return to Sunday's action. The Eagles now only have top tight ends Dallas Goedert and Zach Ertz as healthy options at the positions.

    Rodgers was forced out of Sunday's game versus the Cardinals with a shin injury.

    Analysis: Rodgers was carted off the field in the first half. It seems unlikely he returns to the game. Dallas Goedert and Zach Ertz are the lone remaining tight ends in Philadelphia's lineup.

  • Hardly sees field in loss

    Rodgers was not targeted in Sunday's 30-16 loss to Green Bay.

    Analysis: With Zach Ertz returning from IR, Rodgers played just three snaps on offense all night, his lowest number since Week 3. He likely will continue to see little playing time as long as Ertz and Dallas Goedert remain healthy.

  • Catches late touchdown

    Rodgers caught three of six targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 23-17 loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Rodgers' night was highlighted by him catching a 33-yard Hail Mary in the game's final moments. Of course, the tight end had a famous catch of similar style during his prior stint with the Packers, who he'll now face in Week 13. Although he sports good momentum from Monday's performance, as well as his strong stretch while teammate Zach Ertz (ankle) has been injured, the possibility of Ertz returning to face Green Bay leaves Rodgers' stock in need of monitoring throughout the upcoming week.

  • Scores in loss

    Rodgers caught each of his two targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: Both of the Eagles' touchdowns went to the tight ends on Sunday. Rodgers' was a 19-yard strike early in the second half. Despite playing just 22 snaps in this one and fewer than that last week, the 28-year-old totaled 108 yards in the pair of contests. He'll likely be relegated to the bench if Zach Ertz can return for Week 12 against the Seahawks, however.

  • Paces team in receiving in loss

    Rodgers caught four of his five targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Giants.

    Analysis: After going without a target in his previous outing, Rodgers bounced back to lead the team in receiving yardage. The 28-year-old now has at least 60 yards in two of his last three games. His time in the limelight may not last long however, as Zach Ertz could be back as soon as Week 11.

  • Not targeted in win

    Rodgers played just 16 snaps in Sunday's 23-9 win over Dallas and did not draw a target.

    Analysis: Rodgers hadn't played so little since Week 2, but Dallas Goedert came off IR prior to the game and immediately took over the primary tight end role. When either Goedert or Zach Ertz (ankle) have been healthy this season, Rodgers has yet to surpass four targets or 35 receiving yards in any game.

  • Slated to lose playing time?

    Rodgers could see his playing time reduced after Dallas Goedert (lower leg/ankle) was activated off injured reserve Saturday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    Analysis: Rodgers was the surprising star in last week's win over the Giants, posting six receptions for 85 yards and a touchdown, but he'll almost immediately fall back in line Sunday with Goedert set to play in a pivotal divisional matchup against the Cowboys. It's entirely possible Rodgers could still play a factor in the passing game, particularly since the Eagles love to operate in two tight-end sets, but Goedert will almost certainly operate as the No. 1 option even if he's not completely healthy.…read more

  • Paces pass catchers in win

    Rodgers brought in six of eight targets for 85 yards in the Eagles' 22-21 win over the Giants on Thursday night.

    Analysis: The veteran tight end was the surprising leader for the Eagles in receptions and receiving yards for the night, as he rose to the top of the depth chart at the position with Dallas Goedert and Zach Ertz both on injured reserve with ankle injuries. Rodgers has been almost exclusively utilized as a blocker thus far during his two-plus seasons with the Eagles, but Thursday, he showed flashes of the solid pass catcher that posted a 58-510-8 line for the Packers back in 2015.

  • Starting role awaits

    Rodgers is slated to serve as the Eagles' top tight end in Thursday's game against the Giants with Zach Ertz (ankle) expected to be sidelined for 3-to-4 weeks, Mike Kaye of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

    Analysis: Rodgers opened the campaign as the third man on the depth chart at the position, but he'll ascend to the No. 1 spot in less than half the season with Dallas Goedert (ankle) unlikely to return from injured reserve this week and Ertz now presumably sidelined until after the team's Week 9 bye. Thanks to Ertz's early departure along with a pass-heavy game script, Rodgers played a season-high 60 percent of the Eagles' offensive snaps in Sunday's 30-28 loss to the Ravens, hauling in all three of his…read more

  • Makes trio of grabs in loss

    Rodgers brought in all three of his targets for 31 yards in the Eagles' 30-28 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

    Analysis: The veteran equaled a season high in receptions and checked in second on the team in receiving yardage, with the 28-year-old serving as the most experienced tight end still standing for the Eagles once Zach Ertz exited due to an ankle injury with 9:30 remaining in the contest. Rodgers has played a serviceable complementary role while Dallas Goedert (IR-ankle) has been sidelined, posting a 9-99 line over four contests while primarily serving as a blocker. However, if Goedert doesn't return when…read more

  • Limited at practice

    Rodgers (neck) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: The 28-year-old saw his role decline a bit in Week 5, catching just one pass during 32 percent of the team's offensive snaps, and it appears the injury could have played a role. Rodgers was thrust into the lineup with Dallas Goedert (ankle) landing on injured reserve, leaving just Hakeem Butler as the only healthy tight end behind Zach Ertz. Rodgers will have two more chances to suit up in practice before Sunday's game against the Ravens.

  • Role declines in Week 5

    Rodgers caught his lone target for an 18-yard gain Sunday in the Eagles' 38-29 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: With Dallas Goedert (ankle) sidelined for a second straight game, Rodgers remained the Eagles' No. 2 tight end, but he was unable to build on the three-catch, 35-yard outing he posted in the team's Week 4 win over the 49ers. Top tight end Zach Ertz (one catch for six yards) was also silent Sunday, as wideout Travis Fulgham (10 catches for 152 yards and a touchdown) instead garnered most of the looks from quarterback Carson Wentz. The Eagles could get two more receivers in Alshon Jeffery (foot)…read more

  • Draws four targets in victory

    Rodgers caught three of his four targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 25-20 win over the 49ers.

    Analysis: Rodgers produced more than he did a week prior, when he replaced an injured Dallas Goedert (ankle). However, the California product saw just 22 snaps, or 35 percent of the offensive total. With Goedert set to miss at least two more weeks, Rodgers should continue to see similar playing time.

  • Makes two catches in tie

    Rodgers caught both of his targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 23-23 tie with Cincinnati.

    Analysis: Rodgers had seen just two plays all year on offense prior to Dallas Goedert's ankle injury in the first quarter Sunday. Afterward, the 28-year-old saw 33 snaps and drew his first targets of the season. With Goedert set to miss time, Rodgers should continue to see significant playing time compared to the season's first couple of weeks but is unlikely to replace the 2018 second-rounder's production.

  • Returns to Philly

    The Eagles signed Rodgers to a contract Tuesday.

    Analysis: Rodgers has a bit of experience with the Eagles and coach Doug Pederson, having spent all of 2018 and parts of last season with the team. After emerging from this past weekend with Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert at tight end, the Eagles had a need at the position, so the 28-year-old Rodgers is a reasonable enough option. It's unclear if Rodgers will be a regular inactive on game days, though.

  • Cut by Washington

    Rodgers was released by Washington on Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Rodgers signed a contract back in March to compete for the starting TE job with Jeremy Sprinkle and Logan Thomas, but it became quickly clear the former Packer had been passed by on the depth chart. It's possible an early release could afford Rodgers time to catch on with another team's roster, but he's played just 47 snaps over the past two years and was largely ineffective during his time with the Packers as well. More than likely the 2014 third-round pick will simply be forced to bide his…read more

  • Lands in Washington

    Rodgers signed a contract with the Redskins on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Rodgers was added to the roster by the Eagles in Week 16 of last season, logging eight total offensive snaps over the final two games. In the absence of Jordan Reed, there seems to be no clear No. 1 option at tight end for Washington heading into 2020. Rodgers will battle Jeremy Sprinkle and Logan Thomas for snaps next campaign, although the team could also address the position in the draft.

  • Gets action at end of 2019

    Rodgers played eight offensive snaps over two games in 2019, including the Eagles' postseason loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Rodgers started the season on injured reserve due to a foot injury, but he was waived with an injury settlement in September and became a free agent. The 28-year-old tight end rejoined the team in December while Zach Ertz dealt with a rib injury, but Rodgers was used mainly in a run-blocking role in his limited snaps. He'll be an unrestricted free agent in March, and if he sticks around with the Eagles, a similar reserve role awaits him.

  • Joins Eagles

    Rodgers signed with Philadelphia on Tuesday.

    Analysis: With Zach Ertz fracturing a rib in Week 16, the team was in need of depth behind Dallas Goedert and Joshua Perkins at tight end. Rodgers was waived by the team with an injury settlement earlier this season and has yet to see NFL action in 2019.
