News

  • Let go Tuesday

    Cain was officially cut from the Eagles' practice squad Tuesday.

    Analysis: Cain spent training camp with Philadelphia and was added to the team's practice squad after not making their 53-man roster. The 26-year-old hasn't appeared in an NFL game since 2020 with the Steelers, but he'll continue to work to earn an opportunity to play again.

  • Back on practice squad deal

    The Eagles signed Cain to their practice squad Wednesday, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.

    Analysis: As expected, Cain returns to the Eagles via a practice squad deal after going unclaimed through waivers. The 6-foot-2 wideout caught eight passes for 106 yards across three preseason games.

  • Waived by Eagles

    Cain was waived by the Eagles on Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Cain reeled in eight catches for 106 yards in three games this preseason, but he wasn't able to crack the Eagles' final roster. The wide receiver will likely have many teams interested in him, but if he goes unclaimed on waivers, he could end up back with the Eagles' practice squad to open the 2022 campaign.

  • Staying with Philly

    Cain signed a reserve/future contract with the Eagles on Tuesday.

    Analysis: Cain joined the Eagles' practice squad in mid-October after spending training camp with the Ravens and going down with an injury. He appeared in 15 games between 2019 and 2020 with the Colts and Steelers, and caught nine passes for 124 yards.

  • Signs with Philly

    Cain was signed to the Eagles' practice squad Monday.

    Analysis: Cain had a workout with the Eagles in September and will now join the team's practice squad. The 2018 sixth-round pick has appeared in 15 games between the Colts and Steelers and has caught nine passes for 124 yards.

  • Tries out in Philly

    Cain (head) worked out with the Eagles on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Cain landed on Baltimore's injured reserve with a head injury after training camp, but he's back to full health and looking for the next opportunity. Through 15 career games since the start of the 2019 campaign, he has put up nine receptions for 144 yards.

  • Let go with injury settlement

    The Ravens waived Cain (head) on Friday with an injury settlement, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Cain initially reverted back to injured reserve after being waived earlier in the week but has gone the injury settlement route instead. He's now free to look for work with other clubs in need of practice squad help.

  • Shifts back to IR

    Cain (head) reverted to Baltimore's injured reserve Wednesday, Luke Jones of WNST reports.

    Analysis: Cain picked up a head injury during Baltimore's preseason finale and continues to manage the issue. There was never much of a chance of Cain being claimed on waivers, so it's no surprise to see him revert to IR. He appeared in two games with the Steelers last season.

  • Waived with injury designation

    Cain (head) was waived/injured by the Ravens on Tuesday.

    Analysis: Cain was evaluated for a concussion during the preseason finale against Washington. While a concussion isn't confirmed, he's dealing with some sort of injury. The 2018 sixth-round pick has posted nine receptions for 124 yards over the last two seasons. If he clears waivers, he'll land on injured reserve.

  • Undergoes concussion evaluation

    Cain (head) was evaluated for a concussion during Saturday's preseason contest against Washington.

    Analysis: Cain appeared in two games with Pittsburgh in 2020 before landing on the Ravens' practice squad. He was signed to a reserve/future contract this offseason and is likely to find himself on a practice squad during the regular season.

  • Drops back to practice roster

    Cain reverted to the Steelers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Analysis: Cain made his season debut in Sunday's loss to the Browns, and he wasn't targeted over six snaps on offense. Barring an injury, he's unlikely to be promoted to the active roster again.

  • Promoted to 53-man

    Cain was elevated to the Steelers' active roster Saturday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Cain is slated to appear in just his second game of the season Sunday against the Browns, but he'll be catching passes from backup quarterback Mason Rudolph! as Ben Roethlisberger is among the rested starters.

  • Back to practice squad

    Cain reverted back to Pittsburgh's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Analysis: Cain was promoted to the team's active roster ahead of Week 6, and after logging four offensive snaps, he'll head back to the practice squad.

  • Elevates from practice squad

    Cain elevated to the Steelers' active roster Saturday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Cain was cut in September and landed on the Steelers' practice squad, but now he'll get a chance on the active roster following news that Diontae Johnson (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Browns. The 24-year-old receiver played in 13 games between the Steelers and the Colts last season, recording nine catches for 124 yards on 20 targets. He likely won't get much tread Sunday behind starters JuJu Smith-Schuster, Chase Claypool and James Washington.

  • Lands on practice squad

    Cain cleared waivers Sunday and signed with the Steelers' practice squad, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Cain played in 13 games last season between the Colts and Steelers, logging 124 yards on nine receptions. The 24-year-old couldn't secure a role with the Steelers this year, as JuJu Smith-Schuster is healthy and the team drafted Chase Claypool, but Cain will work on the scout team and could be the first call if there's an injury.

  • Plays one snap in finale

    Cain wasn't targeted while playing just one offensive snap in Sunday's 28-10 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: A sixth-round pick of the Colts in 2018, Cain appeared in seven games for the club before being waived in November and landing with Pittsburgh shortly thereafter. Cain didn't make much of an impact in his new landing spot, contributing just five catches for 72 yards on six targets. If the Steelers choose to retain Cain in 2020, he'll likely be tasked with filling a depth role once again.

  • One catch vs. Cardinals

    Cain caught his only target for 22 yards in Pittsburgh's 23-17 win over Arizona on Sunday.

    Analysis: Since joining Pittsburgh last month, Cain has caught exactly one pass in each of the three games in which he has played. There is little reason to expect his volume to increase in Week 15 against the Bills and even less reason he should be rostered by fantasy owners.

  • One catch in debut

    Cain had one catch for 35 yards in Pittsburgh's 16-10 win over Cincinnati on Sunday.

    Analysis: Signed just over a week ago, Cain saw just one target from Mason Rudolph before Pittsburgh made the switch at quarterback to Devlin Hodges. Cain was targeted once by Hodges, which resulted in a pass interference call which led to a field goal that proved to be the game-winner. Cain had four receptions on 14 targets for 52 yards in six games with Indianapolis before joining Pittsburgh, and he has little fantasy value heading into a Week 13 game against Cleveland.

  • Could work as No. 3 wideout

    Cain could be utilized as the Steelers' third wide receiver Sunday at Cincinnati, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Analysis: Cain signed with the Steelers off the Colts' practice squad last Saturday, but he may find an immediate offensive role for his new team with JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) sidelined. A quality performance could go a long way toward securing the 23-year-old's spot on the 53-man roster.

  • Lands in Pittsburgh

    Cain signed a contract with the Steelers on Saturday.

    Analysis: Well that didn't take long. Only a week after the Colts' surprising decision to place Cain on the team's practice squad, the Steelers ultimately signed the embattled 23-year-old to their active roster. With both JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) and Diontae Johnson (concussion) banged up following Thursday's game, it's entirely possible Cain could be on the Steelers' 53-man roster for the considerable future.

  • Signing with Colts' practice squad

    Cain cleared waivers and has signed with the Colts' practice squad, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: It was first a surprise that the promising 23-year-old was waived last week, and it's even more suspicious that he wasn't claimed by any of the 31 other NFL teams. Regardless, Cain is now back with the Colts, though it's possible another team could sign him off the practice squad.

  • Surprisingly let go

    Cain was waived by the Colts on Saturday.

    Analysis: It's telling that the Colts, with five wide receivers either on injured reserve or ruled out ahead of Sunday's game, still opted to cut the 2018 sixth-round pick, instead promoting practice-squad wideout Marcus Johnson to the active roster. There were rumblings the Colts were unhappy with the development of Cain, particularly following a healthy scratch toward the end of October, but it's still surprising to see the team essentially give up on the second-year receiver, subjecting him to the…read more

  • No receptions Sunday

    Cain didn't have a catch despite two targets and playing 20 snaps on offense in Sunday's 26-24 loss at Pittsburgh.

    Analysis: Cain was active after being inactive last week with No. 1 wideout T.Y. Hilton (calf) sidelined. However, Cain continued his pattern from early in the season of getting playing time but failing to be a factor in the offense. He's struggled to get open and get more targets thrown his way.

  • Increased opportunity on tap

    Cain is likely to be active for Sunday's contest against the Steelers, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The Colts likely will count on Cain to step into a larger role with No. 1 wideout T.Y. Hilton (calf) sidelined. The second-year player stands to mix into the aerial attack alongside Zach Pascal, Chester Rogers and Parris Campbell. He's yet to surpass 35 receiving yards in a single game this season, but Cain could be worth monitoring in deeper leagues.
