News

  • Makes pair of catches

    Long secured both of his targets for 17 yards during Thursday's 12-6 victory against the 49ers.

    Analysis: The two catches by Long were his first since Week 9, despite averaging 19 snaps per game in the five contests between catches. The three-man rotation at tight end is likely to add a fourth name to that list next week as Tyler Higbee (knee) is likely to return, which will almost certainly depress Long and Davis Allen's already meager snap counts even more.

  • Goes untargeted in Week 10

    Long played nine of the Rams' 70 offensive snaps and finished without a target in Monday's 23-15 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Long ranked third among Los Angeles tight ends in playing time, trailing Davis Allen (56 snaps) and Colby Parkinson (11 snaps). Though he's held a modest role for much of the season, Long had recorded at least one reception in each of the past four games before seeing that streak come to an end Monday. Long should continue to remain the Rams' third tight end Sunday at New England, but he could be at risk of moving to the inactive list if/when Tyler Higbee (knee) is cleared to return from the…read more

  • Snags pair of targets

    Long secured both of his targets for 16 yards during Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: While Long's 17 snaps on offense was a typical week of usage for the fourth-year tight end, the two catches marked his first two as a Ram. Starting tight end Colby Parkinson led the team with 13 targets, which he turned into seven catches for 52 yards. Fellow backup Davis Allen failed to secure his only target and was on the field for just three snaps, leaving Long as the primary backup to Parkinson heading into the Rams' Week 6 bye.

  • Fails to make an impact

    Long failed to bring in either of his two targets during Saturday's 13-9 victory against the Chargers.

    Analysis: The battle to start the season as the No. 2 tight end behind Colby Parkinson while Tyler Higbee (knee) remains on the mend, seems to be leaning toward Davis Allen. Long hasn't done anything to make himself stand out over the second-year pro, and Allen showed enough when called upon in the latter half of the 2023 campaign to secure a roster spot. Long will likely be the tertiary option at tight end to start the year unless he breaks out in a big way against the Texans in the Rams' preseason…read more

  • Participating in OTAs

    Long (knee) has been a participant at the Rams' OTA sessions, Cameron DaSilva of Rams Wire reports.

    Analysis: Long finished the 2023 campaign on injured reserve following MCL surgery, but he now looks to be fully healthy heading into the 2024. The tight end appeared in four games last season, failing to garner a target while playing 54 offensive snaps and he projects to be a depth option behind Tyler Higbee (knee), Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen this year.

  • Moves to IR

    Long (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

    Analysis: Long was already reportedly set for season-ending MCL surgery, so this news doesn't come as much of a surprise. The Boston College product's third NFL season will come to a close with just four games played and no catches or targets. He'll now focus on his recovery and returning healthy in 2024.

  • Done for season

    Rams head coach Sean McVay said Monday that Long (knee) will require season-ending MCL surgery, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

    Analysis: Long was carted to the locker room during Sunday's 37-31 overtime loss to the Ravens, and after getting follow-up tests, the Rams determined that he suffered a significant injury. While Tyler Higbee (neck) was sidelined for the Week 14 contest, Long had been poised to take on a larger workload before going down with an injury of his own. Rookie Davis Allen -- who caught four of five targets for 50 yards and a touchdown versus Baltimore -- and Brycen Hopkins are now the team's healthiest options…read more

  • Carted to locker room

    Long (knee) was carted to the locker room and is considered doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Ravens, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Long appears to have sustained a signficiant knee injury at some point during the first half, as his departure via a cart likely indicates he won't be available to return for the remainder of the contest. The third-year tight end appeared in just three game coming into Sunday, but his absence will now leave the Rams without their top two tight ends, as starter Tyler Higbee (neck) is already inactive. Brycen Hopkins and rookie Davis Allen will have to step into bigger roles for the time being.

  • Coming off IR

    The Rams activated Long (hamstring) from injured reserve Tuesday.

    Analysis: Long finally appears to be on track to make his 2023 debut following the Rams' bye in Week 10. When he suits up, he'll settle into a depth role behind top tight end Tyler Higbee.

  • Still not slated to return

    Long (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus Green Bay, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Analysis: Long was designated to return from injured reserve Oct. 25, but he wasn't activated for Week 8 against Dallas despite logging a trio of full practice sessions ahead of that contest. The third-year tight end practiced in full all three days this week as well, but the Rams are opting to hold him out for another game. Los Angeles is on bye next week, so Long's next chance to suit up will be Sunday, Nov. 19 against Seattle.

  • Won't come off IR ahead of Week 8

    Long (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

    Analysis: Long was placed on IR with a hamstring injury in early September. The Rams designated him to return this week, and the tight end was able to log three full practice sessions. However, the team isn't yet ready to activate him. Long's next chance to make his regular-season debut with Los Angeles will come Week 9 in Green Bay.

  • Back at practice

    Long (hamstring) was designated to return from injured reserve and logged a full practice with the Rams on Wednesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Analysis: Long was placed on IR prior to the season with a hamstring injury, but he will now have 21 days to practice with the team and be activated. If he fails to return to the active roster prior to the end of the three-week window, he'll revert to IR for the rest of the 2023 campaign. The tight end was part of the Rams' trade with the Miami in September in which they shipped off cornerback Jalen Ramsey and he appeared in nine games with the Dolphins in 2022, failing to record a catch over 90…read more

  • Lands on IR

    Long (thigh) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

    Analysis: Long had already been ruled out ahead of Sunday's contest against the Seahawks, and he'll now miss at least the four weeks due to a thigh injury. The only other player included in the Jalen Ramsey trade this offseason, Long's absence will now cede more playing time to Brycen Hopkins and Davis Allen behind starter Tyler Higbee.

  • Could head to injured reserve

    Coach Sean McVay said Friday that Long (thigh) could be placed on injured reserve this week, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Long was part of the return from the Dolphins in the Jalen Ramsey trade, but he's been hurt ever since joining the Rams. He didn't play at all during the preseason and could be sidelined even longer. Tyler Higbee, Brycen Hopkins and Davis Allen will handle the tight end snaps for Los Angeles.

  • Out for Sunday

    Long has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Seahawks with a thigh injury, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Long was removed from the Rams' active/PUP list Aug. 26 after passing a physical, but he'll have to wait for at least one week before making his season debut. With Long out of the mix for the season opener, Brycen Hopkins and Davis Allen will be the Rams' available depth tight ends behind starter Tyler Higbee.

  • Passes physical examination

    The Rams removed Long (undisclosed) from the active/PUP list Saturday after he passed a physical, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Long was placed on the active/PUP list to begin training camp, and Rams coach Sean McVay said Wednesday that there was a chance he could open the regular season on the list as well. The 25-year-old tight end will now be available to play Week 1. However, the nature of this initial injury was never revealed, leaving it unclear if Long will play Sunday, Sept. 10 versus Seattle.

  • Could start season on PUP list

    Coach Sean McVay said Wednesday that the possibility of Long (undisclosed) beginning the 2023 season on the PUP list hasn't been ruled out, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: The Rams placed Long on the active/PUP with an undisclosed injury late July. The issue has forced him to miss two preseason games and weeks of valuable training camp reps already. McVay said he hopes Long can return soon, but at this point the team may consider keeping him on the PUP list simply so he doesn't take up a spot on the 53-man roster. If Long does start Week 1 on the PUP list, he will be forced to miss at least the first four games of the season.

  • Dealing with injury

    Long (undisclosed) was placed on the active/PUP list Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Long's injury and recovery timeline is unclear; however, his placement on the active, as opposed to reserve, PUP list suggests his issue may be minor. The 2021 third-round selection was dealt to the Rams in March as part of the Jalen Ramsey trade, and he figures to compete for the No. 3 tight-end spot behind Tyler Higbee and Brycen Hopkins, once Long can prove he is healthy.

  • Dealt to Rams

    The Dolphins agreed Sunday to trade Long and a 2023 third-round pick to the Rams in exchange for cornerback Jalen Ramsey (shoulder), Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Long will be included as a complementary piece in one of the 2023 offseason's most notable trades up until this point. The 6-foot-5 tight end will finish his two-year stint in Miami with just one catch, as he saw extremely sparse offensive usage over 16 regular-season games during this span. Long figures to primarily slot in for the Rams as a blocking tight end behind Tyler Higbee and Brycen Hopkins.

  • Isn't playing Sunday

    Long (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Texans.

    Analysis: Although Long missed Miami's Week 10 matchup versus Cleveland due to a concussion and has since cleared protocols, he'll still be sidelined this weekend as a result of a coach's decision. Durham Smythe and Tanner Conner are subject to receive larger workloads this weekend behind usual starter Mike Gesicki.

  • Clears concussion protocol

    Long (concussion) does not have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Texans.

    Analysis: Long missed Miami's Week 10 contest against Cleveland while in concussion protocol, but he was able to recover during the team's bye in Week 11. He officially cleared the protocol Friday and will return to his rotational role in the offense while also having a significant workload on special teams.

  • Practices in full Wednesday

    Long (concussion) logged a full practice session Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Long landed in the NFL's concussion protocol Nov. 9 following Miami's Week 9 win over Chicago. He was unable to return for the team's Week 10 win against Cleveland but had some time to recover during the Dolphins' Week 11 bye. It appears that Long has a good chance of suiting up Sunday against Houston, though his potential return won't make much of an impact in fantasy, as he's het to receive a target or record any counting stats so far this season.

  • Won't play Sunday

    Long (concussion/illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Long was placed in concussion protocol Wednesday and was unable to practice at all during Week 10 as a result. The 24-year-old is now also dealing with an unspecified illness, though he'll have an extra week to work his way back before Miami's next contest against Houston on Sunday, Nov. 27. Long has not recorded a catch while playing 58 offensive snaps over five games this season, so his absence shouldn't play much of a factor in Sunday's game against Cleveland.

  • Lands in concussion protocol

    Long didn't practice Wednesday due to concussion protocol, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Long presumably suffered the concussion during Miami's Week 9 win over Chicago and is in danger of missing Sunday's matchup against the Browns. The reserve tight end will have two more opportunities to practice before the Dolphins need to make a decision on his status for Week 10.

  • Full participant Wednesday

    Long (ankle) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Long didn't play in Week 4, marking a third straight absence due to an ankle injury, but he appears to have cleared the issue and, barring a setback, is in line to return in Week 5. If available, the second-year tight end will likely slide into his usual role behind Mike Gesicki and Durham Smythe.

  • Ruled out for TNF

    Long (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's contest against the Bengals, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Hunter will miss a third straight game due to an ankle injury. Fellow backup tight end Cethan Carter (concussion) has also been ruled out again, so Tanner Conner should continue to operate as the reserve tight end behind Mike Gesicki and Durham Smythe.

    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Misses practice again

    Long (ankle) is listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's practice report.

    Analysis: Long has already missed two straight games due to the ankle injury, and given his lack of on-field activity so far this week, he looks to be trending toward another absence Thursday in Cincinnati. The second-year tight end will be limited to a depth role behind Mike Gesicki and Durham Smythe whenever he's healthy.

  • Won't play Sunday

    Long (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

    Analysis: Long will miss a second straight game after picking up an ankle issue during the season opener. The extent of the injury remains unclear, but he hasn't practiced since before Week 1. Cethan Carter (concussion) also remains out, so Tanner Conner will continue to operate as the backup behind Mike Gesicki and Durham Smythe, who both garner sizable roles in Miami's offense.

  • Inactive against Baltimore

    Long (ankle) is listed as inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

    Analysis: After missing the Dolphins' first two practices of the week due to an ankle injury, Long will not travel with the team to Baltimore. With the 24-year-old off the field, Tanner Conner will will likely take over the team's No. 3 tight end role for his season debut.

  • Officially out

    Long (ankle) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

    Analysis: Long will focus on his recovery and not travel with the team to Baltimore. As a result, Tanner Conner will serve as the team's No. 3 tight end behind Durham Smythe and Mike Gesicki.

  • Questionable for Week 2

    Long (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, David Furones of the Sun Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: It has already been a long season for the reserve tight end on the injury front, as he played through an illness in the season opener against the Jets. Long missed Miami's first two practices of the week due to this ankle injury before returning to a limited session Friday to give himself a chance to suit up in Week 2.

  • Will play Sunday

    Long (illness) will play Sunday against the Jets.

    Analysis: Long started the week absent from practice, but after logging a limited session Thursday, he was a full participant Friday. The 2021 third-round selection would likely benefit if Adam Shaheen (knee) were to sit, but he'd still be behind at least Mike Gesicki and Durham Smythe on the Dolphins' tight end positional depth chart.

  • Doesn't practice Wednesday

    Long didn't participate in Wednesday's practice session due to a non-COVID illness, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Long recorded his first reception of the season in Week 13 but is dealing with an illness ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Jets. Even if he's unable to suit up in Week 15, his absence wouldn't have a significant impact on Miami's offense.

  • First career catch

    Long secured his only target for eight yards during Sunday's win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Long began his rookie season with a significant injury suffered back in August, and it took him some time to get up to speed, but he's now been active and handled a depth role in back-to-back games. The young tight end isn't yet on the fantasy radar, as he's only seen two targets through five appearances, but in dynasty formats his development will be worth monitoring.

  • Healthy scratch

    Long (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

    Analysis: Long played in Week 6 against the Jaguars, but he had only one target and didn't record a single catch. He's made three appearances this season and has played just 29 snaps, so him being inactive shouldn't affect many fantasy rosters.

  • Inactive Week 2

    Long (coach's decision) is listed as inactive ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Bills.

    Analysis: Long is a healthy scratch Sunday after Adam Shaheen was activated from the COVID-19 list this week. The rookie registered 23 total snaps (18 offensive) during his first NFL action against the Patriots in Week 1.

    Analysis: The rookie tight end was carted off the practice field due to what seemed like a worrying lower body injury roughly two weeks ago, but he's managed to quickly return to health. Long is still visibly playing through leg pain, per Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post, but it doesn't appear that the Dolphins are concerned about him aggravating any injuries.

  • Able to take some practice reps

    Long (lower body) is participating in some team drills Tuesday, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

    Analysis: Long appears to be limited at Tuesday's practice, but it's certainly encouraging to see him handle blocking drills just over a week after he had to be carted off the field due to a lower-body injury. The Dolphins have a number of reliable tight ends atop the depth chart, namely Mike Gesicki, Adam Shaheen and Durham Smythe, so the team can take a cautious approach to Long's recovery. Still, it looks like the rookie third-round pick could have a chance at suiting up for action at some point…read more

  • Out for Saturday

    Long (lower body) will not play Saturday against the Bears, David Furones of the Sun Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: The rookie was carted off the field last Sunday and was reportedly unable to put any weight on his left leg, but he evidently avoided a significant injury and has been without a brace for most of this week. The Dolphins will obviously play it safe with their third-round pick, which means Long will wait to make his professional debut until later in the preseason.

  • Considered day-to-day

    Dolphins head coach Brian Flores said Wednesday that Long (lower body) is day-to-day, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

    Analysis: Long was carted off the field Sunday with what's being described as a lower-body injury, and he was reportedly unable to put any weight on his left leg afterward. The tight end appears to have avoided a serious injury, as he was seen walking around on the sideline at Wednesday's practice without a brace or sleeve on his leg. The 2021 third-round pick will compete for a role in the Dolphins' offense behind Mike Gesicki once he's able to return to the field.

  • Avoids worst-case scenario

    Long (lower body) is not believed to have suffered a season-ending injury, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

    Analysis: Long had to be carted off the field Sunday after suffering what appeared to be a left knee injury, but which Schad now describes as a lower-body issue. It was reported that Long was unable to put any weight on his left leg, so it will be a relief for Miami if he's indeed avoided something season-ending. Durham Smythe and Adam Shaheen will handle reps behind top tight end Mike Gesicki in the meantime.

  • Carted off field Sunday

    Long was carted off the field Sunday after suffering an apparent left knee injury, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: The report notes that the rookie tight end couldn't put any weight on his left leg after suffering the injury, so it looks like Long could miss some time. The 2021 third-round pick had been looking to carve out a role in the Dolphins' passing offense behind top option Mike Gesicki, while competing with Durham Smythe and Adam Shaheen for slotting.
