Titans | Dorin Dickerson goes to IR list Thu Jul 30, 06:21 PM
Tennessee Titans TE Dorin Dickerson (Achilles') was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Thursday, July 30.
Dorin Dickerson player page Titans | Dorin Dickerson out for season Wed Jun 17, 02:00 PM
Tennessee Titans TE Dorin Dickerson (Achilles') will undergo season-ending surgery in the near future to repair his ruptured Achilles' tendon.
| Footballguys view: A seventh-round pick of the Texans in 2010, the Titans signed Dickerson last year but he was injured in training camp and spent 2014 on Injured Reserve. They re-signed him back in January, but this latest injury could end his pro career. |

Tennessee Titans TE Dorin Dickerson (undisclosed) was placed on Injured Reserve. The team signed free-agent TE Chase Coffman (Falcons) to an undisclosed deal and waived QB Tyler Wilson.
| Footballguys view: By all accounts, Wilson had looked terrible in training camp so far. The Titans will roll on with Jake Locker, Charlie Whitehurst and rookie Zach Mettenberger as their three quarterbacks. Coffman has battled many injuries during his pro career, but he's got a chance to make this roster with Dickerson shut down for the year. |

Lions | Joseph Fauria expected to start Fri Dec 20, 04:31 PM
Detroit Lions TE Joseph Fauria is expected to start in Week 16 against the New York Giants with TE Brandon Pettigrew (ankle) sitting out. TE Dorin Dickerson is likely to be used in two tight end sets, and OG Dylan Gandy could be used in blocking situations.
| Footballguys view: Dickerson is actually a better threat as a downfield receiver than Pettigrew, so this could add more of a vertical element to the offense. |

Lions | Brandon Pettigrew on crutches Wed Dec 18, 10:17 PM
Updating a previous report, Detroit Lions TE Brandon Pettigrew (ankle) was on crutches in the locker room Wednesday, Dec. 18.
| Footballguys view: Not a great sign for his playing status this week. Make other plans if Pettigrew was an option for you in Week 16. TEs Dorin Dickerson and Joseph Fauria were the only two healthy tight ends at practice as a result. Head coach Jim Schwartz said Pettigrew's injury was 'the most concerning' of anyone who missed practice. |

Bills | Dorin Dickerson asks to go back to TE Sun Jun 2, 05:30 PM
Buffalo Bills head coach Doug Marrone said the team was going to use TE Dorin Dickerson at wide receiver during organized team activities, but Dickerson asked with work as a tight end because several tight ends were not taking part in the workouts. Marrone said he believes Dickerson could help out as a tight end as well as a wide receiver.
| Footballguys view: Dickerson is one of the more versatile players in the league. He is built like a super sized WR and can line up inside or outside. Even with his versatility we're not expecting much from Dickerson in 2013. |

Bills | Dorin Dickerson sees time with first-team offense Fri Jun 22, 10:00 PM
Buffalo Bills TE Dorin Dickerson saw first-team reps in practice each day during minicamp, and he is a reliable receiving option who might be able to spread the defense for head coach Chan Gailey.
| Footballguys view: Dickerson is an interesting prospect to monitor in deep dynasty leagues. He's a versatile player who can like up at WR/TE/H-back and Gailey is just the right coach to use him in different ways. |

Bills | Dorin Dickerson saw a lot of time during OTAs Sun Jun 10, 03:21 PM
Buffalo Bills TE Dorin Dickerson saw a lot of time on offense during organized team activities this offseason. Dickerson is seeing a lot of time because the coaches want to see if he can be a capable H-back in the offense.
| Footballguys view: Dickerson has terrific size and speed, but the Texans and Colts didn't figure out how to use him on offense. Maybe the offensive mind of head coach Chan Gailey can. |

The Buffalo Bills have signed free-agent TE Dorin Dickerson (Patriots) and undrafted free-agent OT James Cameron (Mississippi State) and S Nick Saenz (Houston). Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Dickerson is a WR/TE 'tweener and has failed to play up to his potential so far as a pro. The Bills could use more receiving weapons so there's a chance Dickerson could make an impression on the coaching staff. |

Texans | Looking for more from Dorin Dickerson Fri Jul 1, 02:40 PM
Houston Texans wide receivers coach Larry Kirksey said the team will be looking for WR Dorin Dickerson to improve in several areas including his special teams play. 'He's got to step to the table in a lot of areas, particularly in special teams,' Kirksey said. 'He'll play in all aspects of special teams for us, and he's got to try to get in to be that third or fourth receiver. At worst, can be the fourth receiver for us or fifth receiver, but he's got to grow up now.'
| Footballguys view: This is a make or break year for Dickerson. He's built like a super sized WR and can create mismatches any time he's on the field because of his athleticism. The Texans need more help from guys like Kevin Walter, Jacoby Jones, and Dickerson behind superstar Andre Johnson. |

Texans | Believe three second-year players can contribute in 2011 Sun May 1, 04:34 PM
John McClain, from the Houston Chronicle, reports the Houston Texans are optimistic that RB Ben Tate, WR Dorin Dickerson and DT Earl Mitchell will be able to contribute next season.
| Footballguys view: Tate was supposed to push Steve Slaton for the starting job last year but injuries derailed that plan. He's a straight line runner who is difficult to bring down when he builds a head of steam. Dickerson is not big enough to play Tight End and not fast enough to be truly effective as a Wide Receiver. |
