Mike Boone - Page 2 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Up from practice squad The Panthers elevated Boone to the active roster Saturday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Impact With Jonathon Brooks (knee) set to miss at least the first four games of the regular season while on the NFI list, Boone will serve as the fourth running back on the Panthers' depth chart for Sunday's game against the Saints behind Chuba Hubbard, Miles Sanders and Raheem Blackshear. Boone appeared in nine regular-season games for the Texans in 2023, finishing with five carries for 23 yards and seven catches (on nine targets) for 40 yards.

Staying in Carolina Boone signed with the Panthers' practice squad Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Impact Boone spent last season in Houston before he was waived and inked a deal with Carolina's practice squad in 2023. The veteran running back was expected to join the team's practice squad after winning over the coaching staff in camp.

Won't make initial rostery Boone was released by the Panthers on Tuesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Impact Boone spent last season in Houston before he was waived and inked a deal with Carolina's practice squad. The veteran running back is considered a candidate to once again join the team's practice squad, assuming he doesn't find a better option elsewhere.

Impresses vs. Patriots Boone rushed eight time for 34 yards while also catching three of his four targets for 17 yards during Thursday's 17-3 preseason loss to the Patriots.

Impact Boone helped his chances of making the Panthers' 53-man roster Thursday by recording 51 yards from scrimmage while playing the most snaps (30) of any Carolina running back. The seventh-year pro saw so many opportunities due to Carolina resting its top three healthy RBs: Chuba Hubbard, Miles Sanders and Raheem Blackshear. Nonetheless, Boone outshined both Dillon Johnson and Jaden Shirden and now likely now has an outside chance of making it past the Panthers' final roster cuts.

Stays on sidelines Boone (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Broncos.

Impact Boone will take a seat again as Houston rolls with Dare Ogunbowale as their No. 3 option at running back behind Devin Singletary and Dameon Pierce. His next chance to suit up will be Week 14 against the Jets.

DECEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Healthy scratch for Week 12 Boone (coach's decision) is a healthy inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Impact Dameon Pierce (ankle) is active after missing the Texans' last three games, leaving no room in the backfield for Boone. Pierce and Devin Singletary -- the latter of whom served as Houston's lead back during Pierce's absence -- are expected to share most of the snaps on offense, while Dare Ogunbowale is active as the Texans' No. 3 back but is likely to see most of his playing time on special teams.

Fringe contributor in Week 8 Boone had one carry for five yards, caught his lone target for 11 yards and returned two kickoffs for 44 yards in Sunday's 15-13 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Boone was given his typical playing time on offense, but the coaches also moved him up the kick return depth chart. Devin Singletary had been the primary returner on kickoffs, but he's taken on a larger role on offense and the coaching staff may not want to expose him to injury on special teams. Boone has a combined 49 yards on seven touches this season as a running back.

Signing with Texans The Texans are slated to sign Boone, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Boone, who logged 24 carries for 102 yards and nine catches for 96 yards on 15 targets in nine games with the Broncos in 2022, finished up the season on IR, but he now should be past the ankle issue that landed him there. With the Texans, the 27-year-old is in line to work as a backup to 2022 fourth-rounder Dameon Pierce (ankle).

Goes on IR, season over The Broncos placed Boone (ankle) on injured reserve Tuesday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Boone will miss Denver's final four games of the season while he heads to IR for a second time, with both stints being the result of high-ankle sprains. He returned from his first five-week stay on IR in Week 13, lasting just two games before injuring the ankle again. Boone, who is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, will conclude the 2022 campaign with 24 carries for 102 yards and nine catches for 96 yards on 15 targets over his nine appearances. Denver is now left with Latavius Murray and Marlon Mack as the lone backs on its 53-man roster.

Impact The report notes that the team is still evaluating the ankle injury Boone sustained in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, but if he does end up missing time, the Broncos will need to add backfield depth behind Latavius Murray and Marlon Mack. Devine Ozigbo is currently a member of Denver's practice squad.

Injures ankle Sunday Boone was carted off the field during Sunday's game against the Chiefs after suffering an ankle injury, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Impact Before his exit from the contest, Boone ran three times for two yards and caught two passes for 27 yards. In his absence, Latavius Murray and Marlon Mack will handle Denver's Week 14 backfield touches.

Impact After a five-week stint on IR due to an ankle injury, Boone was activated in advance of last Sunday's game against the Ravens. Boone played 12 snaps in the 10-9 loss and carried six times for 18 yards to go with one reception for eight yards, working ahead of Marlon Mack (five snaps) but firmly behind starter Latavius Murray (35). Though Murray is likely to continue to start against Kansas City, expect the gap in usage between him and Boone to be more narrow now that the latter is further removed from the injury. The fantasy upside isn't especially high for either back while they remain tied to the NFL's lowest-scoring offense (13.8 points per game), but finding more opportunities for the 27-year-old Boone could become a priority for the 3-9 Broncos, especially once the team is officially eliminated from playoff contention. The 32-year-old Murray is on an expiring deal and is averaging just 3.7 yards per carry through seven games with Denver.

DECEMBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Limited role in return Boone rushed six times for 18 yards and secured his only target for eight yards in Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Ravens.

Impact Boone operated as Denver's No. 2 running back behind Latavius Murray, who handled 17 carries in the contest. In the backup role, Boone played just 12 of the Broncos' 53 offensive snaps. The veteran likely faces an uphill battle to fantasy relevance with Denver's continued ineffectiveness on offense. Boone's potential contributions as a pass catcher also seem to be in danger with Murray tied for the second-most targets in the Denver passing game Sunday. Nonetheless, the 27-year-old should remain in his role as a change-of-pace back when the Broncos host the Chiefs in Week 14, though he is extremely difficult to trust for fantasy purposes.

Activated off IR Boone (ankle) was activated off injured reserve Saturday.

Impact Boone has been on injured reserve since Week 8, but the veteran almost immediately returns to a relevant fantasy spot with the likes of Latavius Murray and Marlon Mack shouldering the backfield burden at the moment. Boone easily profiles to be the best receiving back of the bunch, but it's unclear how much work that role might have in a Broncos offense that has ground itself to a halt over recent weeks.

Returns to practice Denver designated Boone (ankle) for return from injured reserve Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

Impact Boone, who has resided on IR since Week 8, is now eligible to practice with the team and will have a 21-day period to be added to the active roster. He's totaled 21 touches for 143 yards across seven appearances this season, but when available, he could see an increased workload in Denver's new-look running back room, which currently features Latavius Murray and Marlon Mack. Boone's status for Sunday's game in Baltimore remains unclear, but more information on his availability should surface later in the week.
