Armani Rogers - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Cut with injury designation The Bills waived Rogers (Achilles) with a non-football injury designation Thursday.

Impact Rogers suffered a torn Achilles tendon while training early March, resulting in his now being waived for Buffalo to clear up roster space ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft. The reserve tight end's road to recovery could be made more difficult by the fact that he previously suffered a torn Achilles in May of 2023.

Tears Achilles Rogers tore his Achilles tendon while training Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact The 27-year-old inked a reserve/futures deal with the Bills in January, but it now appears he won't have the opportunity to compete for a roster spot in 2025. Rogers' only in-game NFL experience came in 2022 with the Commanders, when he appeared in 11 regular-season games and caught five of his six targets for 64 yards. With Rogers out for the foreseeable future, the Bills' tight end room currently consists of Dawson Knox, Dalton Kincaid and Zach Davidson.

Getting look from Buffalo The Bills signed Rogers to a reserve/future contract Friday.

Impact Rogers, who played quarterback in college before converting to a tight end upon going pro, originally signed with Washington as an undrafted free agent in 2022. He was a bit of a Cinderella story that season, opening the campaign on the Commanders' roster and catching five passes on six targets for 64 yards while rushing twice for 26 yards over 11 games. However, Rogers tore his Achilles in May of 2023 and hasn't played in an NFL game since, though he spent much of the 2024 campaign on Atlanta's practice squad. Rogers isn't eligible to play for Buffalo during the remainder of the postseason, but he'll be able to compete for a roster spot during training camp this summer.

Joins Falcons' practice squad The Falcons signed Rogers to their practice squad Monday, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Rogers failed to make the Eagles' initial 53-man roster in late August, but it now appears he's found a home in Atlanta. The Ohio product most recently appeared in an NFL game with the Commanders in 2022, catching five of his six targets for 64 yards across 11 contests. Rogers could be elevated to Atlanta's active roster if the team's tight end room faces injuries at any point this season.

Let go by Philadelphia Rogers was waived by the Eagles on Tuesday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact Rogers joined the Eagles on Aug. 7 after being let go by the Commanders, catching two passes for 24 yards during the preseason. If the tight end clears waivers, he'll have a shot to return to Philadelphia's practice squad ahead of the 2024 campaign.

Lands in Philly The Eagles claimed Rogers off waivers on Wednesday.

Impact Rogers, who missed the entire 2023 season due to a torn Achilles tendon, was waived by the Commanders on Tuesday and now finds a new home in Philadelphia. He faces long odds to make the Eagles' active roster, but an impressive showing in training camp could allow Rogers to earn a spot on the practice squad.

Let go by Washington The Commanders waived Rogers on Tuesday.

Impact Rogers missed all of 2023 due to a torn Achilles' tendon. Despite returning for OTAs and training camp, he will now be on the lookout for a new team in need of depth at tight end. In his lone season of NFL action in 2022, Rogers played in 11 regular-season games for the Commanders, finishing with five catches on six targets for 64 yards.

MAY 24, 2023 • KANSASCITY.COM

Converts to TE as rookie Rogers caught five of six targets for 64 yards in 11 games during the 2022 season.

Impact Rogers was a dual-threat QB at UNLV and Ohio before catching on with the Commanders as an undrafted free agent and converting to tight end. He's listed at only 225 pounds, but the team nonetheless trusted him to play at least 13 snaps in five straight games Weeks 6-10 while John Bates, Logan Thomas and Cole Turner alternately dealt with injuries. Rogers likely will be tasked with adding weight this offseason and could make a push up the depth chart with no mainstay ahead of him, though he's already 25 and faces an uphill battle to approximate Thomas' unusual career arc (also a college QB, and a late bloomer in the pros).

JANUARY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go for Week 18 The Commanders activated Rogers (knee/ankle) from injured reserve Saturday.

Impact Rogers landed on IR with knee and ankle injuries following the Week 10 contest versus Philadelphia. The undrafted rookie was then designated to return to practice Dec. 28, and he'll now be available for Sunday's regular-season finale versus Dallas. Rogers has caught five of six targets for 64 yards across 10 games this season, and it's likely he'll continue to slot into a supplemental role alongside Cole Turner and John Bates while Logan Thomas serves as the team's primary receiving tight end.

JANUARY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Set to return to practice Rogers (knee) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday.

Impact Rogers has been out since late November while dealing with knee and ankle injuries, but he will now have a shot at being activated before the end of the regular season. The tight end has appeared in 10 games this year, reeling in five catches for 64 yards while also rushing for 24 yards on his only carry. Rogers has split time evenly between the offensive unit and special teams and he will likely return to a similar role if activated.

DECEMBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Lands on IR Washington placed Rogers (knee/ankle) on injured reserve Saturday, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

Impact Rogers was already ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans due to knee and ankle injuries, but he'll now be forced to miss at least the next four contests. In his absence, John Bates and Cole Turner will operate as the primary backups to Logan Thomas.

Won't play Sunday Rogers (knee/ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Rogers will miss his first game of the 2022-23 campaign as a result of knee and ankle issues. The 24-year-old has played a complementary role on Washington's offense through the team's first 10 contests, but John Bates and Cole Turner are slated for additional tight-end snaps Sunday in Houston behind starter Logan Thomas.

NOVEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Gets first NFL carry Rogers had a 24-yard carry but no targets in Sunday's 20-17 loss to Minnesota.

Impact Rogers finished third among Washington's tight ends with 13 snaps (20 percent) but arguably had the biggest contribution with his long gain on an end-around to convert a 3rd-and-short. While unlikely to make much of a dent as a pass catcher this season, the college QB could be part of trick plays on occasion and seems to be a better blocker than one might expect of an undersized, converted tight end. Next up for Rogers are road games against the Eagles (Week 10) and Texans (Week 11).

NOVEMBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Targeted twice Rogers caught one of two targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 17-16 win over Indianapolis

Impact The rookie played 36 percent of the offensive snaps even with Logan Thomas back in the lineup, and Thomas finished without a target despite leading the team's TEs with a 56 percent snap share. John Bates also got a good bit of playing time, 33 percent, and Thomas could take on more work in Week 9 against Minnesota now that he's returned from a three-walk absence due to a calf injury. Rogers thus appears unlikely to see more than a target or two, but he's put himself on the map for deeper dynasty leagues at least, earning playing time as an undrafted rookie after playing a different position (QB) in college.

OCTOBER 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Catches three passes Rogers caught three of three targets for 28 yards Sunday against the Packers, playing 51 percent of offensive snaps in a 23-21 victory.

Impact Logan Thomas (calf) was inactive, John Bates playing through a hamstring injury and Cole Turner forced out of the game with a concussion. Still, it was a nice showing from Rogers, a college QB who earned a roster spot this summer after going undrafted. While listed at only 225 pounds, Rogers has played just over his snaps as an inline tight end, rather than strictly being used as a pass catcher. He could have a role again Week 8 against the Colts, especially if some combination of Thomas, Bates and Turner is/are limited or absent.

Gets preseason start Rogers will start at tight end in Saturday's preseason game against the Chiefs, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Impact The undrafted rookie was a college quarterback at UNLV and Ohio. Now, he's essentially the last man standing in an injury-riddled TE room in Washington, with the other healthy body being recently signed Eli Wolf. There's an opportunity for Rogers to see a bunch of targets.
