News

  • Lands on injured reserve

    The Chargers placed Apple (hamstring) on injured reserve Wednesday.

    Analysis: Apple suffered a hamstring injury in the first quarter of Monday's loss to the Ravens. By being placed on injured reserve, Apple will be forced to miss at least the next four regular-season games, making Week 17 against the Patriots on Sunday, Dec. 29 the earliest he can return. Tarheeb Still, Ja'Sir Taylor and Deane Leonard will serve as the primary backups at corner due to Apple's injury.

  • Downgraded to out Monday

    Apple (hamstring) will not return to Monday night's game against the Ravens.

    Analysis: The cornerback suffered the injury in the first quarter and left the game before recording a stat. Ja'Sir Taylor, Tarheeb Still and Deane Leonard are the remaining available backup corners for the Chargers.

  • Leaves game due to hamstring injury

    Apple (hamstring) is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Ravens.

    Analysis: Apple suffered a hamstring injury in the first quarter of Monday's game. Deane Leonard would be the Chargers' lone backup outside corner behind Kristian Fulton and Tarheeb Still if Apple does not return.

  • Signs to active roster

    The Chargers signed Apple to their active roster Monday.

    Analysis: Apple was elevated for each of the Chargers' last three games before signing with their active roster Monday, recording two total tackles across 58 total snaps (46 defensive and 12 on special teams). Expect the 2016 first-round pick from Ohio State to play a depth role in Los Angeles' secondary while also contributing on special teams in Monday night's matchup against the Ravens.

  • No interceptions in 2022

    Apple concluded the 2022 regular season with 49 tackles, eight pass breakups and no interceptions, forced fumbles or fumble recoveries across 15 appearances. He added 18 stops and one pass breakup in the Bengals' three postseason contests.

    Analysis: As Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic notes, Apple is one of five defensive starters for the Bengals who are ticketed for free agency this offseason. After having failed to produce a turnover in 2022, Apple is unlikely to be deployed as a starter if he returns to the team in 2023, given the late-season emergence of rookie Cam Taylor-Britt along with the fact that Chidobe Awuzie (knee) should be back from ACL surgery. Even if Awuzie has a setback and isn't on track to be ready for Week 1 of the…read more

  • Will play Sunday

    Apple (neck) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Ravens.

    Analysis: Apple drew a questionable tag after picking up a neck injury during Week 18 prep, but he'll ultimately be active for the Bengals' regular-season finale. Across 14 appearances, the veteran cornerback has totaled 43 tackles and eight pass defenses while playing nearly every single defensive snap for Cincinnati this season.

  • Officially questionable

    Apple (neck) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Ravens.

    Analysis: Apple landed on the injury report Thursday as a limited participant due to a neck injury but upgraded to a full participant Friday. However, the cornerback's status for Week 18 is still in question. It appears Apple is trending in the right direction, but the team will presumably wait until after warmups to make an official decision on his availability for Sunday's divisional matchup.

  • Submits full session Thursday

    Apple (hamstring) was a full participant during Thursday's practice, Chris Roling of Bengals Wire reports.

    Analysis: After being sidelined during Monday's game versus the Browns due to a hamstring issue, Apple has since logged a limited session Wednesday and a full practice Thursday, putting him in line to play Week 9 against Carolina. The 27-year-old hasn't particularly stood out in the stat sheet thus far in 2022, as he's totaled 19 tackles and no interceptions across seven games played. Apple is in line to slot back in as the team's No. 1 cornerback when the Bengals host the Panthers on Sunday.

  • Limited Wednesday

    Apple (hamstring) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Apple was sidelined during the Bengals' Week 8 loss to the Browns due to a hamstring injury he suffered a week prior. It's encouraging to see the veteran defensive back return to practice, albeit in a limited fashion, but he'll likely have to a log at least one full session if he wants to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Panthers.

  • Won't suit up Monday

    Apple (hamstring) was ruled inactive ahead of Monday's game against the Browns, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Apple played a season-low 16 defensive snaps in last week's win over the Falcons, and he popped up with a hamstring injury on the Bengals' injury report Thursday before sitting out practice Friday and Saturday. The 27-year-old cornerback was then listed as questionable heading into Monday night's contest, and he is now set to miss his first game of the season. With Apple sidelined, expect veteran Mike Hilton and rookie Cam Taylor-Britt to step up into bigger roles at against Cleveland.

  • Doubtful for Monday night

    Apple (hamstring) did not participate at practice Saturday and is listed as doubtful for Monday's game at Cleveland.

    Analysis: Apple seems likely to miss his first game of the season Monday with a hamstring injury. If he is indeed out for Week 8, Tre Flowers would be in line for fill-in reps on the boundary opposite Chidobe Awuzie.

  • Doesn't practice Friday

    Apple (hamstring) didn't practice Friday, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Apple was a limited participant Thursday due to a hamstring injury but was downgraded to a non-participant Friday. He'll have one more opportunity to practice before the Saints need to make a decision on his status for Monday's matchup against the Browns.

  • Gets in full practice

    Apple (ankle) was a full participant in practice Tuesday, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Apple played 100 percent of the defensive snaps in the team's 27-12 win over the Jets on Sunday, but he popped up as a limited participant in the Bengals' estimated practice report Monday. His move to full participation means he should be good to go Thursday against the Dolphins.

  • Dealing with ankle injury

    Apple (ankle) would have been limited Monday per the Bengals' estimated practice report, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: Apple was able to play 100 percent of the defensive snaps in the team's 27-12 win over the Jets on Sunday, despite popping up on the injury report. Typically a limited session this early in the week, and an estimated one at that, would be of little concern, but with the Bengals playing Thursday it does mean a bit more. If Apple is unable to go it'd likely lead to extra opportunity to Tre Flowers and Mike Hilton.

  • Moves past injury

    Apple (quad) was not listed on Cincinnati's injury report Wednesday.

    Analysis: Apple missed back-to-back practices after having fluid drained from his quad in late August, but he now appears to be available again heading into the regular season. The 27-year-old should slot in opposite Chidobe Awuzie as the Bengals' starting cornerbacks versus the Steelers on Sunday.

  • Dealing with quad issue

    Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said Wednesday that Apple won't practice Wednesday or Thursday due to a quad injury, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Taylor relayed that Apple will have fluid drained from his quad, which will keep him sidelined, but it doesn't appear like the injury, or procedure, is a major concern yet. The 2016 first-round pick agreed to a one-year, $4 million deal this offseason to return to the Bengals after totaling 49 tackles, two interceptions and 10 pass defenses across 16 appearances last year.

  • Remains with Bengals

    Apple agreed to a one-year, $4 million contract with the Bengals on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Apple made 16 regular-season appearances during his first year with Cincinnati, and he totaled 49 tackles (38 solo), two interceptions and 10 pass defenses. He appears to be in line for a starting role once again heading into 2022, but it's possible that the Bengals could address the cornerback position in this year's draft.

  • Not on injury report

    Apple (ankle) was not listed on Wednesday's injury report.

    Analysis: Apple suffered an ankle injury during Sunday's game against the 49ers, but he already appears back to full health. Barring any setbacks, he should be ready to handle his usual every-down role Week 15 at Denver.

  • Suffers injury

    Apple (ankle) is questionable to return Sunday against the 49ers.

    Analysis: Apple's exit takes down a Bengals starter in the secondary. He'll try to return, but in the meantime Vernon Hargreaves or Mike Hilton should see extra opportunity.

  • Interception in win

    Apple recorded two tackles (two solo) while also intercepting a pass in the 41-10 blowout win over Pittsburgh on Sunday.

    Analysis: The 26-year-old's game-changing interception and 50-yard return set up a Bengals field goal with which they were able to stretch their first quarter lead to 10-0. Two interceptions and a fumble in his last two games should give the former Ohio State cornerback some confidence going forward.

  • Top of depth chart again

    Apple will likely be the top cornerback for the Bengals for the foreseeable future, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: The 26-year-old will take over at the top of the depth chart following Trae Waynes (hamstring) being placed on injured reserve Tuesday. This season, Apple has made 21 tackles and deflected three passes through five contests.

  • Heads to Cincinnati

    Apple signed with the Bengals on Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Apple dealt with ankle, foot and hamstring injuries, and he played in just two games before being cut by the Panthers in late October. The 2016 10th overall pick will head to his fourth team in four years hoping for a fresh start. In his last full season in 2019, Apple registered 58 tackles, four pass breakups and a forced fumble over 15 games with the Saints. He'll have an opportunity to play a significant role in Cincinnati's defense next year alongside fellow corners Chidobe Awuzie and Trae…read more

  • Cut loose by Panthers

    The Panthers released Apple (hamstring) on Tuesday, Myles Simmons of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Apple hasn't been able to stay healthy, battling ankle and hamstring injuries this year. He's suited up in just two games and totaled 28 defensive snaps, and after leaving Tuesday's practice early to receive treatment on his hamstring, the Panthers decided to cut him loose. The 2016 first-round pick will now focus on getting healthy as he searches for his fourth NFL team in five years.

  • Active as expected

    Apple (hamstring) will play in Sunday's game against the Saints, Myles Simmons of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: It was reported earlier Sunday that Apple was expected to suit up, so this news isn't surprising. Apple will make just his second appearance of the season, as lower-body injuries have cost him most of his season. Expect the Ohio State product to have a role in dime packages Sunday, especially considering starter Rasul Douglas landed on the reserve/COVID-19 list this week.

  • Should play Sunday

    Apple (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Lower-body injuries have limited Apple to just one appearance this season, and the 2016 first-round pick only handled a special-teams role in that contest. Assuming Apple is in fact active Sunday, he should at least have a role in dime packages with regular starter Rasul Douglas not available this week after landing on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Apple (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game at New Orleans.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old practiced as a full participant all week, so it's a bit of a surprise to see him carry an injury designation into the weekend. Assuming he plays, Apple should have an increased role with Rasul Douglas on the COVID-19 list.

  • Full speed ahead

    Apple (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Jonathan M. Alexander of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: Apple sat out the last two games due to a hamstring injury, but barring a setback, he'll return to the lineup Sunday against the Saints, who he played 25 games for over the previous two seasons. The 2016 first-round pick has played just six snaps this year -- all on special teams -- and it's unsettled what kind of role he'll have on the Panthers' defense. The team may choose to keep Apple in a reserve role considering it has allowed just 219 passing yards per game this season -- seventh in the…read more

  • Unavailable against Bears

    Apple (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Bears, Myles Simmons of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Apple has battled a myriad of injuries, as he'll sit out for the fifth time this season due to a hamstring issue. In the one game he did suit up, the 25-year-old cornerback played exclusively on special teams, so his absence will mainly affect the team's secondary depth.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Apple (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Apple practiced fully Thursday, but he's apparently not out of the woods yet with the hamstring injury that forced him to miss last week's game. While it seems more likely than not that Apple will suit up in this one, Troy Pride would again take on a larger role if Apple ultimately sits.

  • Practices without limitations

    Apple (hamstring) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Alaina Getzenberg of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: Apple couldn't suit up against Atlanta in Week 5 due to a lingering hamstring injury, but after having been limited Wednesday, it now looks as though he's back to full health. Barring any setbacks, he'll provide a boost to Carolina's secondary when the team faces the Bears on Sunday.

  • Ruled out for Week 5

    Apple (hamstring) is ruled out for Sundays' game against the Falcons, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Apple was forced out of Carolina's Week 4 win against the Cardinals due to a hamstring injury after having missed the first three games of the season with ankle/foot issues. Troy Pride stands to handle increased snaps in Apple's stead for at least one more contest.

  • Downgrades to DNP

    Apple (hamstring) did not practice Thursday, Alaina Getzenberg of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: Apple was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, so his complete lack of activity Thursday is a step in the wrong direction. Troy Pride will likely handle increased defensive snaps if Apple is forced to miss Sunday's game in Atlanta.

  • Leaves with hamstring injury

    Apple won't return to Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to a hamstring injury, Myles Simmons of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Apple was activated off injured reserve Saturday after missing the first three games of the season with ankle/foot issues, but he went down with the hamstring injury during his season debut. Troy Pride should see increased reps at cornerback for the Panthers.

  • Set to play Sunday

    The Panthers activated Apple (ankle/foot) from injured reserve Saturday, indicating that he'll play in Sunday's game versus the Cardinals, Alaina Getzenberg of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: Apple is poised to make his Panthers debut Sunday after missing the first three games. The 25-year-old cornerback allowed a 100.9 passer rating when targeted last year, and while that's nothing to be intrigued by, he should still be a boost to a Panthers defense that has allowed 258.3 passing yards per game -- the eighth-most in the league.

  • Back at practice

    Apple (ankle) will practice Wednesday, Myles Simmons of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Apple's return to practice signifies the start of a 21-day window for the Panthers to add him to the active roster, or to allow him to revert to IR for the rest of the season. Once he's back to full health, Apple is expected to push for one of Carolina's starting cornerback positions.

  • Won't play in September

    The Panthers placed Apple (ankle/foot) on injured reserve Monday, Myles Simmons of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Apple missed a handful of practices with a hamstring injury, and he's also dealing with both ankle and foot issues. He'll be required to miss at least three weeks with the possibility of returning for Week 4's matchup versus Arizona. The Panthers claimed Rasul Douglas off waivers Sunday, and the new addition could get the first shot at the starting cornerback job sans Apple.

  • Dealing with injury

    Apple missed Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring issue, Alaina Getzenberg of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: It's unclear how Apple suffered the hamstring injury, however, the team hopes it can get him back for Friday's practice. The Ohio State product was signed this offseason to fill a void at cornerback, as the Panthers signed him away from their NFC South rival the Saints. Once at full strength, Apple should be back taking first-team reps, getting ready to start in Carolina's secondary in 2020.

  • Finds home in Carolina

    Apple agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the Panthers on Thursday.

    Analysis: Apple previously agreed to sign with the Raiders in March, but after having been unable to finalize a deal in Las Vegas, the veteran corner will now link up with the Panthers. The 24-year-old fills a key void on Carolina's roster, as the team didn't previously have much in the way of proven options behind Donte Jackson. As such, Apple looks primed to play a starting role at cornerback for new defensive coordinator Phil Snow. The former Saint will remain in the NFC South.

  • Deal with Raiders falls through

    Apple and the Raiders were unable to finalize a contract Thursday, making him an unrestricted free agent, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Apple is coming off a career-best year with New Orleans, having notched 58 tackles (53 solo), four defended passes and one forced fumble across 15 contests. With Apple now set to look for an opportunity elsewhere in the league, the Raiders could be motivated to sign another veteran cornerback in free agency or address the position in the 2020 NFL Draft.

  • Joins Raiders

    Apple agreed to sign with the Raiders on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: In his first full campaign with Saints in 2019, Apple logged 58 tackles and a forced fumble across 15 contests. The Raiders will be Apple's third team since being drafted No. 10 overall by the Giants in 2016. The 24-year-old should move right into a starting role at cornerback for Las Vegas.

  • Ends season on sideline

    Apple finished with 58 tackles (53 solo) and a forced fumble in 2019, while sustaining an ankle injury in Week 16 that held him out of the postseason.

    Analysis: His first full year with the Saints came to a close during Wild-Card Weekend, as the Saints suffered a surprising loss with Apple on the sideline. The No. 10 pick in 2016, Apple is at the end of his rookie contract and will be a free agent in 2020. His future with the club is unclear, but he's started every game he's appeared in for New Orleans while playing a key role in the secondary. He was acquired from the Giants midway through the 2018 season for a fourth-round (2019) and seventh-round…read more

    Contrary to a previous report, Apple (ankle) wasn't placed on IR, but he won't play Sunday versus the Vikings, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Apple may still return if the Saints advance to the divisional round. With the 24-year-old out, the Saints' secondary takes a hit, while P.J. Williams and Patrick Robinson are expected to see upticks in usage Sunday.

  • Lands on IR

    The Saints have placed Apple (ankle) on injured reserve ahead of Sunday's wild-card game against the Vikings, Paul Schwartz of the New York Post reports.

    Analysis: Apple's postseason has come to a premature end. He sustained the injury in Week 16, and the severity is too much to overcome. Look for Janoris Jenkins and P.J. Williams to see increased roles as a result of his absence.

  • Missing playoff opener

    Apple (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's playoff game versus Minnesota, Chris Corso of the Vikings' official site reports.

    Analysis: The 24-year-old sustained the ankle injury Week 16 before sitting out the regular-season finale, and he won't be able to suit up Sunday. Janoris Jenkins and P.J. Williams are primed to see heavier workloads in Apple's absence.

  • DNP at practice Wednesday

    Apple (ankle) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Apple has not been able to practice since exiting Week 16's win over the Titans. If he's still unable to return during the week, Patrick Robinson and Janoris Jenkins will likely continue to absorb the extra playing time in the Wild Card game against the Vikings on Sunday.

  • Sidelined for Week 17

    Apple has an ankle injury and won't play in Sunday's game against the Panthers, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Apple failed to suit up in all three practices this week leading up to the contest, so his absence isn't surprising. In his stead, look for P.J. Williams and Janoris Jenkis to see an uptick in snaps at the cornerback position behind usual starter Marshon Lattimore.
