News

  • Placed on IR

    Watts (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Watts was expected to miss Thursday's contest against the Cowboys as a result of a shoulder injury he presumably suffered in Week 12 versus the Buccaneers, but he will now be forced to sit out at least the next four games with the injury. In his absence, Jordon Riley is a candidate to see additional snaps on the defensive line.

  • Won't play at Dallas

    Watts (shoulder) is out for Thursday's game against the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Watts was held out of practice during the week with a shoulder issue, and now he'll have to sit out Thursday. His absence could open up additional playing time for 2023 seventh-rounder Jordon Riley.

  • Doesn't practice Tuesday

    Watts (shoulder) did not participate at the Giants' walkthrough practice Tuesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Watts presumably picked up a shoulder injury during Sunday's game versus the Buccaneers, and now his availability for Week 13 is in doubt. If he can't practice in full beforehand, he'll probably carry an injury designation into Thursday.

  • Dealing with injury

    Watts (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice report, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

    Analysis: Watts played his typical workload during Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers but seemingly picked up the injury along the way. With the Giants set to play Thanksgiving day against the Cowboys, the Arkansas product has a limited amount of time to recover. However, he'll work to get back on the practice field Tuesday or Wednesday.

  • Signs with Big Blue

    The Giants signed Watts off the practice squad to the active roster Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Watts was released from the Patriots' injured reserve Oct. 2 due to an unspecified injury, but he was healthy enough to catch on with the Giants' practice squad after working out with Big Blue on Oct. 15. Now on the active roster, the 2019 sixth-round pick will provide rotational depth at defensive end behind starters Elijah Chatman and Rakeem Nunez-Roches. Watts appeared in 15 regular-season games for the Steelers in 2023 and finished with 15 tackles (six solo), including 0.5 sacks.

  • Works out with Giants

    The Giants worked out Watts (undisclosed) on Tuesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Watts was released from New England's injured reserve list earlier this month, but he's already getting some attention from another team. He's still waiting to make his 2024 season debut.

  • Released from Pats' IR

    The Patriots released Watts (undisclosed) from injured reserve Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Watts was placed on IR at the end of training camp with an unspecified injury. He was set to miss the entire 2024 season, but the 2019 sixth-round pick will now have the chance to sign with a team once he's fully healthy. Watts appeared in 15 regular-season games for the Steelers in 2023, during which he tallied 15 tackles (six solo), including 0.5 sacks.

  • Moves to IR

    Watts (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

    Analysis: Watts' move to IR will force him to miss the 2024 campaign unless he reaches an injury settlement with the team.

  • Joining new squad

    Watts is signing a contract with the Patriots on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Watts' contract details are unclear, but the 27-year-old will spend the 2024 campaign in New England after playing the 2023 season with the Steelers. The Arkansas product played 260 snaps on defense across 15 contests last season, recording 15 combined tackles, including 0.5 sacks.

  • Signing with Steelers

    Watts' agent, David Canter of GSE Football announced Monday via his personal Twitter account that the defensive lineman agreed to a contract with the Steelers.

    Analysis: Watts racked up 35 tackles for the Bears in 2022, appearing in all 17 games and starting 12. In Pittsburgh, Watts will compete with Breiden Fehoko and Montravius Adams for a starting spot at defensive tackle.

  • Set for free agency

    Watts notched three tackles in the Bears' 29-13 loss to the Vikings in Week 18, and ended the season with 35 tackles and one sack over 17 games played.

    Analysis: Watts played about 30 snaps per game as a backup defensive tackle after coming off a career season in 2021 with the Vikings, when he recorded 46 tackles and five sacks. In his rotational role, he averaged two tackles per game, and he'll likely land a similar role next year. He's now an unrestricted free agent.

  • Records first sack with Chicago

    Watts recorded three tackles and a sack in the Bears' 31-10 loss to the Jets on Sunday.

    Analysis: Watts has three or fewer tackles in all but one game this year, though he's been playing at least half the snaps over the last five weeks. Unless his role changes, he'll remain a low-upside IDP option.

  • Claimed by Bears

    Chicago claimed Watts from waivers Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Watts is coming off a 2021 season with Minnesota in which he appeared in 16 games and recorded 46 tackles and five sacks, so it was somewhat surprising when the Vikings opted to waive him Tuesday. He should compete with Justin Jones and Angelo Blackson for regular reps at defensive tackle in 2022.

  • Let go by Minnesota

    The Vikings waived Watts on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Watts, a 2019 sixth-round pick, appeared in all 17 games for the Vikings last year and recorded career highs in tackles (46), sacks (five) and forced fumbles (two). The 26-year-old defensive tackle was in line for a reduced role after the offseason acquisition of Harrison Phillips, but it's still surprising to see him let go. Watts figures to garner at least some attention on the wavier wire, but he could return to Minnesota via a practice-squad deal if he goes unclaimed.

  • Starting against Lions

    Watts will start Sunday against the Lions, according to Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

    Analysis: Watts will make his second career start, and his first one since the 2019 season finale, as he will replace Michael Pierce. Watts has played 79 defensive snaps across four games this season, racking up eight tackles (four solo).

  • Limited role Sunday

    Watts had one tackle and played 17 snaps in Sunday's overtime loss at Cincinnati.

    Analysis: Watts is a reserve nose tackle and may not get much playing time as long as Michael Pierce and Dalvin Tomlinson stay healthy.

  • Will play Friday

    Watts (ankle) is not on the inactives list for Friday's game against the Saints.

    Analysis: Watts had been listed as questionable after logging a DNP and two limited practice sessions this week, but he will give it a go against the Saints on Christmas Day.

  • Plays 37 snaps Sunday

    Watts had a tackle and played on 37 of the defense's 78 snaps in Sunday's loss to Green Bay.

    Analysis: Watts played just seven games last year after a hamstring injury, so he could have a larger role later in the season as he continues to develop. He'll get playing time as a reserve in a rotation on the defensive line.

  • Activated off COVID list

    Watts was activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Andrew Krammer of The Star Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Watts was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday but can now rejoin his teammates at practice. The 2019 sixth-rounder will steer his focus on competing for reps with Jaleel Johnson after long-time starting defensive tackle Linval Joseph signed with the Chargers this offseason.

  • Moved to COVID list

    The Vikings placed Watts (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday.

    Analysis: A 2019 sixth-round pick, Watts appeared in seven regular-season games as a rookie for Minnesota. He'll now need to gain full clearance before rejoining teammates at practice, having either tested positive for COVID-19 or come into close contact with someone who did.

  • Battling hamstring injury

    Watts (hamstring) faces a four- to six-week recovery timeline, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    Analysis: Watts has already been placed on IR, so his season is over. This report reveals how serious the hamstring pull Watts suffered in the regular-season finale is, but the 23-year-old should be good to go for the offseason program. His absence mainly will affect the Vikings' depth on the defensive front, as he didn't play more than 20 defensive snaps until the team rested its starters in the finale.

    Published: Wed, Jan 8 at 12:23pm by Rotowire.com

  • Designated for IR

    Watts (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

    Analysis: The rookie sixth-round pick played in seven games this season, and he averaged 10.9 defensive snaps per contest en route to 13 tackles and 1.5 sacks. Watts will be out for the playoffs, and the Vikings signed Eddie Yarbrough off the Bills' practice squad to add depth on their defensive front.
