News

  • Time up in Tennessee

    Dupree was released by the Titans on Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: On the bright side, Dupree didn't have an injury designation tied to his release, so he appears to have recovered from the pectoral injury that forced him onto injured reserve down the stretch in 2022. Dupree had 19.5 sacks for the Steelers between 2019 and 2020, but he mustered just seven sacks across two subsequent seasons with the Titans and has been limited to 11 appearances in each of the past three campaigns.

  • Expected to be released

    Dupree (pectoral) is expected to be released in the near future, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Dupree is due to make $17 million this season, and the Titans will save cap space by letting him go. The pass rusher suffered a pectoral injury late in the season and may be sidelined into the offseason program. Dupree appeared in 11 games with Tennessee in 2022, compiling 18 tackles, including four sacks, while recording a forced fumble and two fumble recoveries.

Given the plethora of injuries to the Titans' linebacker corps, Tarell Basham, Monty Rice, Andrew Adams and Rashad Weaver figure to operate as the team's starters Thursday night against Dallas.

  • Suffers injury Saturday

    Dupree (chest) is questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Titans, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.

    Analysis: Dupree did not log a statistic before exiting at some point in the second half. The 29-year-old has played at least 82 percent of defensive snaps in three of the Titans' last four games, so his potential absence will leave Rashad Weaver and Tarell Basham to step up into bigger roles opposite Denico Autry.

    Dupree (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Dupree picked up the injury during Monday's loss to the Bills and was unable to practice this week. Olasunkanmi Adeniyi (neck) is also out, so Derrek Tuszka is the only healthy outside linebacker behind Rashad Weaver and Denico Autry.

  • Not playing Sunday

    Dupree (abdomen) won't play Sunday against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Dupree wasn't able to practice all week, so it's not a surprise to see him ruled out for Week 11. Olasunkanmi Adeniyi saw a larger role when Dupree left Sunday's win over the Saints, so he will likely draw the start at outside linebacker against Houston.

  • Misses practice Wednesday

    Dupree (abdominal) was unable to practice for the Titans on Wednesday.

  • Listed as questionable

    Dupree (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, according to Turron Davenport of ESPN.com.

    Analysis: Dupree has been taking steps back and forward this week when it comes to his availability, as he didn't practice Wednesday, logged a limited session Thursday and was a non-participant once again Friday. With that scenario, his chances of featuring Sunday are not very high. If he can't go, Olasunkanmi Adeniyi might be in line for a bigger role.

    Analysis: Dupree was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice before logging limited workloads the rest of the week. He is looking like a game-time decision Sunday, so his status will need to be monitored up until kickoff approaches.

  • From PUP to COVID list

    The Titans placed Dupree (undisclosed) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Dupree began training camp on the PUP list, so he'll now need to fully clear the league's COVID protocols and pass a physical before attending practices. The veteran linebacker is coming off a torn ACL suffered last December, so he can't be considered a lock for Week 1.

  • Placed on PUP list

    Dupree (knee) was placed on the PUP list Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: This doesn't come as a surprise considering Dupree did not participate in any drills throughout OTAs. The 28-year-old linebacker tore his ACL in December, but that didn't stop the Titans from handing out the pass rusher a massive five-year, $82.5 million contract this offseason. It's unclear when Dupree will be able to practice, but the team has not ruled him out for the start of the regular season.

  • Continues rehab

    Dupree is recovering well after tearing his right ACL last December, but the timetable for his debut on the Titans' practice field hasn't been shared with reporters, Teresa Walker of News4Nashvile reports.

    Analysis: Dupree has been present for all mandatory offseason activities for his new team, but he has yet to participate in any drills. If healthy, the 28-year-old could revitalize a pass rush that was abysmal during the 2020 campaign, finishing 29th in total sacks and 32nd in third-down conversion rate. It's worth mentioning that the Titans made a similar move for Jadeveon Clowney before the 2020 season, but it had minimal effect on the defense as Clowney played in just eight games and failed to…read more

  • Without timeline to practice

    Dupree (knee) remains without a timeline to return to practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Dupree was present for the first day of mandatory minicamps with his new team, but he didn't participate in drills on the field. He spoke with the media afterward and said that he was comfortable with the progress he has made in his return from a torn ACL. Though Dupree noted that he remains on schedule with his rehab, he was unable to provide a timeline for his potential return to full activities.

  • Titans win sweepstakes

    Dupree (knee) agreed to terms Monday on a contract with the Titans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The Titans are one offseason removed from a disastrous Jadeveon Clowney signing, but bringing in Dupree is a chance to make things right. The torn ACL that Dupree suffered last December doesn't appear to have brought down his value on the open market much at all, as Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports that Dupree will cash out with $16.5 million annually in Tennessee. When back to full health, Dupree no doubt will be a notable upgrade to the Titans' pass rush, but it's worth noting that he…read more

  • Won't be tagged

    Dupree (knee) won't receive a franchise tag, setting him up to become a free agent, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Using the tag for a second straight year would've required a 20 percent raise from $15.8 million to $20 million. Dupree backed up his breakout 2019 campaign with eight sacks in 11 games in 2020, but skeptics will note that his stats get a boost from playing in a blitz-happy scheme with other talented pass rushers. There's also the matter of the torn ACL he suffered in December, which could impact his availability for Week 1 of 2021. Regardless, Dupree should attract interest from multiple teams.

  • Should be ready for camp

    Dupree (knee) said Wednesday that he expects to be ready for the start of training camp, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Dupree tore his ACL in December, but his rehab has progressed well enough that he anticipates being a full participant by the time the summer rolls around. The 28-year-old played on a $15.8 million franchise tag last season, and though the Steelers reportedly want to bring him back, the team currently has more than a $15 million salary-cap deficit. If Dupree ends up hitting the open market, his positive progress in his recovery from surgery should encourage confidence from potential suitors.

  • Recovery progressing well

    Dupree (knee) said Wednesday that he's "ahead of schedule in rehab" for his torn ACL, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Dupree suffered the knee injury in early December, with the timing of his surgery putting him at risk of missing the start of the 2021 season. He's not out of the woods yet, but the fact that he's progressing faster than anticipated at this stage of his rehab is at least a promising sign. Before suffering the injury, Dupree was in the midst of a productive season, racking up 31 tackles, eight sacks and two forced fumbles in 11 games.

  • ACL tear confirmed, hits IR

    Dupree sought out a second opinion on his knee injury Thursday, but it confirmed the diagnosis of a torn ACL, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Dupree's torn ACL was quickly diagnosed by initial test results after Wednesday's win over the Ravens, but the 27-year-old pass rusher opted to pursue a second option. The MRI now having fully confirmed the severity of his injury, Dupree will presumably undergo surgery in the near future. Given the timing of his injury, it's not a guarantee that Dupree will be ready for the start of the 2021 campaign. The Steelers officially moved Dupree to IR on Thursday.

  • Torn ACL confirmed

    Dupree suffered a torn ACL during Wednesday's 19-14 win over the Ravens, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Analysis: The team feared Dupree tore his knee in the fourth quarter of Wednesday's game, and additional tests quickly confirmed the injury. The 27-year-old will miss the rest of the 2020 season, and depending on how his recovery goes, he could be in danger of missing the start of the 2021 campaign as well. Alex Highsmith and Olasunkanmi Adeniyi are the top candidates to start at outside linebacker in place of Dupree, who finishes the season with 31 tackles, eight sacks and two forced fumbles in 11 games.

  • Serious knee injury feared

    Dupree may have suffered a torn ACL during Wednesday's 19-14 win over the Ravens, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Dupree sustained a knee injury late in this contest, and the linebacker now is undergoing tests to determine the precise diagnosis. If the worst comes to pass, he'll miss the rest of the campaign and enter free agency with a cloud hanging over his head, health-wise. Through 11 games, Dupree has accrued 31 tackles (23 solo), eight sacks and two forced fumbles.

  • Adds two more sacks

    Dupree posted four solo tackles and two sacks in Sunday's 38-7 win over the Browns.

    Analysis: Dupree keeps on tormenting opposing quarterbacks, as he's up to five sacks through five games and has recorded 16 QB pressures as well. The 2015 first-round pick is in a good position to reach last year's career high of 11.5 sacks. His tackle numbers are a bit low with an average of three per game, but as long as he keeps up the sack totals, Dupree is an intriguing IDP option.

  • Posts 1.5 sacks Sunday

    Dupree recorded four tackles (one solo) and 1.5 sacks across 41 defensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Texans.

    Analysis: Dupree now has sacks in back-to-back contests and only trails Devin Bush in defensive snaps amongst Pittsburgh linebacking corps. He'll now switch his focus to the Titans, who are only allowing one sack per game this season -- tied for third best in the league.

  • All clear Wednesday

    Dupree (shoulder) was absent from the team's injury report Thursday.

    Analysis: Coach Mike Tomlin expressed concern for the Kentucky product following Sunday's win over Denver, saying Dupree could be limited in practice this week. Dupree has bucked that thought, as he's been a full participant during each practice. Expect the fifth-year pro to assume his usual role as one the team's starting outside linebackers in Week 3.

  • Battling shoulder injury

    Coach Mike Tomlin relayed that Dupree (shoulder) may be limited in practice this week, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Dupree logged a full workload in this past Sunday's win over the Broncos, recording two tackles, a sack and a forced fumble. Tomlin didn't illustrate it as a serious injury, but it's worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's game versus the Texans. However, if Dupree's forced to miss any time, either Olasunkanmi Adeniyi or Alex Highsmith will bump into a starting role.

  • Notches first sack of season

    Dupree recorded two tackles (one solo), including a sack, in Pittsburgh's 26-21 win over Denver Sunday.

    Analysis: On Denver's second offensive series, Drew Lock was sacked by Dupree for an 11-yard loss, forcing a fumble. Lock (shoulder) exited the game and did not return. Pittsburgh's defense looks just as aggressive as it did last season, when it led the NFL in sacks and turnovers forced. After handling Daniel Jones in Week 1 and both Lock and Jeff Driskel this week, the Steelers face their most difficult challenge against Deshaun Watson and the Texans in Week 3.

  • Doesn't get extension

    Dupree and the Steelers were unable to work out a long-term contract before Wednesday's deadline, Joe Rutter of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.

    Analysis: The two sides can't resume negotiations until next offseason, with Dupree then able to become a free agent unless the Steelers use the franchise tag a second time (at the cost of a 20 percent raise). Dupree's tag for 2020 is worth $15.82 million, but he filed a grievance to be classified as a defensive end, which would bump up the number to $17.79 million. He was a 16-game starter at outside linebacker last season, notching career highs for tackles (68), sacks (11.5), QB hits (17) and forced…read more

  • Files grievance

    Dupree has officially filed a grievance three months after signing his franchise tag with hopes that he can be paid as a defensive end rather than a linebacker, Jelani Scott of NFL.com reports.

    Analysis: Dupree has accumulated 200 tackles, 31.5 sacks, nine pass deflections and six forced fumbles in 70 games (55 starts) since being drafted 22nd overall in the 2015 NFL Draft. He is set to make $15.8 million after getting franchised as a linebacker, but should he get reclassified as a defensive end, it will net him roughly $2 million more. The 27-year-old is still hoping to work out a long-term contract with the Steelers.

  • Signs franchise tag

    Dupree signed his franchise tender Thursday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The decision to sign suggests Dupree won't be a holdout even if he doesn't get a long-term contract before the July 15 deadline for franchise-tagged players. It's a reasonable decision on his part, as the $15.83 million salary is good money for a pass rusher with 31.5 sacks in 70 regular-season games. On the other hand, Dupree is coming off a 2019 campaign with career highs for tackles (68), QB hits (17), sacks (11.5), forced fumbles (four) and fumble recoveries (two), plus his PFF grade (77.7)…read more

  • Hit with franchise tag

    The Steelers gave Dupree a franchise tag Monday morning, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The 2015 first-round pick looked like a disappointment throughout most of his rookie contract, but he broke out for 68 tackles and 11.5 sacks while playing on a fifth-year option in 2020. Dupree didn't generate a ton of pressure apart from the sacks, so there may be a significant difference of opinions if the Steelers open discussions for a long-term deal. The 27-year-old has 31.5 sacks and 50 QB hits through 70 career games, including 55 starts.

    Dupree recorded four tackles (all solo), including a sack, in Sunday's 28-10 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: Dupree showed no issues with his shoulder and finished the 2019 season with 5.5 sacks in his final six games. Playing in all 16 games for the first time in his career, Dupree finished the season tied for ninth in the league -- and second on the team -- with a career-best 11.5 sacks. The Steelers will look to re-sign this unrestricted free agent, who also had four forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.

    Analysis: Dupree was set to undergo an MRI after suffering the injury Week 16, but he's apparently fine since he never appeared on the injury report this week. The 26-year-old should play his usual near every-down role in the regular-season finale.

  • Solid effort in loss

    Dupree recorded seven tackles (two solo) including a sack in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Jets.

    Analysis: After a slow start to the season, Dupree has come on strong the past few games and now has 10.5 sacks. He had one sack earlier this season against the Ravens in a game in which the Steelers had five sacks. Pittsburgh will need a win and a Tennessee loss next week to reach the postseason, so the defense should have plenty of motivation with most of Baltimore's starters likely sitting since they clinched home field advantage in the playoffs.

    Dupree recorded three tackles (one solo) in Sunday's loss to the Steelers.

  • Another sack in win

    Dupree recorded five tackles (four solo) including a sack in Pittsburgh's 23-17 win over Arizona on Sunday.

    Analysis: With each sack by Dupree he adds to his career-best season total, which now stands at 9.5 sacks. Heading into a Week 15 game against Buffalo, the Pittsburgh defense has the third most sacks this season (48). Dupree will look to add to that total against Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen who has been sacked 33 times this season and 11 times in his last three games.

The team is on pace for 57 sacks, and Dupree -- who already has a career-best 8.5 sacks -- is on pace for 11 this season. He will look to add to his total in Week 14 against the Cardinals, who have allowed 42 sacks this season.

    Analysis: The defense that has carried the Steelers much of this season did so again against a hapless Bengals offense. Dupree strip-sacked Ryan Finley, then recovered the ball to seal the victory in the final minutes of the game. Dupree now has seven sacks heading into a Week 13 rematch with the Browns. In Week 11, Pittsburgh managed just one sack against Cleveland.

  • Dominates on D in win

    Dupree totaled three tackles (all solo) including two sacks and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 26-24 win over the Colts.

    Analysis: The two sacks give Dupree five this season, and he should exceed his career-best six sacks in 2017 as the season progresses. His fumble recovery came on a strip-sack of backup quarterback Brian Hoyer to start the second half, with Pittsburgh taking the ensuing drive for a touchdown. The Steelers have a league-leading 11 fumble recoveries and the league's second-best turnover differential at +10. Dupree is a solid IDP option in Week 10 against the Rams.
