Jamal Agnew - Page 2 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Dealing with groin injury Agnew is questionable to return to Sunday's Week 1 game against Tampa Bay due to a groin injury, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Agnew didn't play in any preseason games due to an oblique injury, and he's now dealing with a groin issue. He's a depth wideout for the Falcons, but his most prominent role is as a kick and punt returner. Ray-Ray McCloud, Mike Hughes and Natrone Brooks are candidates to work in the return game if Agnew can't return.

Past oblique injury Agnew (oblique) was not listed on the Falcons' injury report Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.

Impact An oblique injury prevented Agnew from suiting up for any of the Falcons' three preseason games. His absence from Wednesday's injury report indicates that he's past the issue and on track to suit up for Sunday's regular-season opener against Tampa Bay. The veteran wideout is expected to see most of his playing time on special teams as a returner on kickoffs and punts.

Dealing with oblique injury Coach Raheem Morris said Monday that Agnew is dealing with an oblique injury, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact It helps explain Agnew's absences from the Falcons' initial two preseason games. The veteran return man signed with Atlanta back in March and figures to see most of his playing time on special teams in 2025.

Yet to suit up in preseason Agnew did not play in Friday's 23-20 preseason loss to the Titans.

Impact Agnew has been in street clothes for each of Atlanta's first two exhibitions, along with fellow wideouts Drake London, Darnell Mooney (shoulder), Ray-Ray McCloud and KhaDarel Hodge. Given Agnew has been part of that group, it's safe to assume the veteran will likely land a spot on the Falcons' initial 53-man roster. However, Agnew will probably be utilized more on special teams as a primary return man than on offense when everyone is healthy.

Signs with Atlanta Agnew signed a one-year deal worth up to $2.5 million with the Falcons on Thursday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact The returner and wide receiver spent time on Pittsburgh's practice squad last year after breaking his leg late in the 2023 campaign with Jacksonville. Agnew's career high for catches is just 24, recorded when he was with the Jaguars in 2021, but he does have six career return touchdowns on punts and kickoffs. The 2017 fifth-round pick of the Lions should have a chance to earn that type of role with the Falcons in 2025.

Back to practice squad Agnew reverted to the Steelers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Agnew was elevated to the Steelers' 53-man roster for Saturday's AFC wild-card game against the Ravens but was inactive for the contest. Agnew signed to the Steelers' practice squad Nov. 12 after fully recovering from a lower leg injury that he suffered at the end of the 2023 regular season. The 2017 fifth-round pick will look to join a team in the offseason that is in need of depth at wide receiver and a return specialist for kickoffs and punt returns.

Not play Saturday Agnew (coach's decision) is inactive for Saturday's AFC wild-card game against Baltimore, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Agnew and Scotty Miller were elevated from the Steelers' practice squad to the active roster earlier Saturday, but neither of them will be active for the contest. Agnew has not played in a game for Pittsburgh since being signed to its practice squad Nov. 12.

JANUARY 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Elevated ahead of wild-card contest Pittsburgh elevated Agnew from its practice squad to its active roster Saturday, Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Agnew signed to the Steelers' practice squad in mid-November, and this is his first elevation of the season. The veteran wideout played in 11 games with Jacksonville last year, tallying 14 catches on 21 targets for 225 yards and a touchdown while losing two yards on four carries. Pittsburgh's wideout corps is relatively healthy, so Agnew isn't likely to see many opportunities Saturday in the wild-card matchup versus Baltimore.

Joins Steelers' practice squad Pittsburgh signed Agnew to its practice squad Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Agnew actually tried out with Pittsburgh back before its regular-season opener, and he's now being brought on board ahead of Week 11. The Steelers already have six healthy wideouts on their active roster, but Agnew's experience as a returner could help his case to be elevated as the second half of the year plays out.

Trying out in Pittsburgh The Steelers tried out Agnew (lower leg) on Monday, Howard Balzer of GoPHNX.com reports.

Impact It appears that Agnew has moved past his season-ending lower leg injury from last year after trying out with the Steelers on Monday. The veteran wide receiver, who received Pro Bowl honors after recording 752 kick and punt return yards in 2022, is expected to compete for the Steelers' top return-man duties if he's added to their roster.

Won't return vs. Panthers Agnew (ankle) is out for the rest of Sunday's game versus the Panthers.

Impact Agnew exited late in the second quarter of Sunday's contest due to an ankle injury that was apparently severe enough to keep him out for the rest of the day. Tim Jones will probably see an increased workload in Agnew's absence.

Won't play Sunday Agnew (shoulder) will not play Sunday against the Titans, according to head coach Doug Pederson, John Shipley of SI.com reports.

Impact Agnew was previously considered a long shot to play this week after suffering the injury in Sunday's loss to the 49ers, so this news isn't necessarily surprising. Pederson added that the 28-year-old could miss time beyond this week as well. With Parker Washington (knee) designated to return from IR and potentially suiting up Sunday, he'd likely be in line to take on return duties against Tennessee.

Hurts shoulder Sunday Agnew was forced out of Sunday's game against the 49ers with a shoulder injury.

Impact Prior to his exit from the contest, Agnew did not record any catches. With Zay Jones (knee) already out, Tim Jones is a candidate to see added Week 10 snaps alongside fellow WRs Calvin Ridley and Christian Kirk.

NOVEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

No targets in win Agnew didn't receive a target, returned one kickoff for 27 yards and three punts for 34 yards during Sunday's 20-10 win against the Steelers.

Impact The veteran return man had four catches for 36 yards last week but wasn't involved in the passing game Sunday despite the continued absence of Zay Jones (knee). Agnew played just 20 offensive snaps compared to Tim Jones' 25, but neither wideout received a target from quarterback Trevor Lawrence.

Four catches in win Agnew caught four of six targets for 36 yards and rushed once for minus-1 yard during Thursday's 31-24 win over the Saints. He also returned one punt for nine yards.

Impact The 28-year-old played 51 percent of Jacksonville's offensive snaps with Zay Jones (knee) inactive and finished third on the team in receptions and receiving yards. Agnew has catches in just three of six games this season, but he has four receptions in two of those three contests.
