Seahawks | Jimmy Graham placed on IR Mon Nov 30, 06:12 PM
Seattle Seahawks TE Jimmy Graham (knee) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Monday, Nov. 30, and DT A.J. Francis was signed from the practice squad to the active roster in a corresponding move.
| Footballguys view: A sad way for his season to end. Graham had 48 catches for 605 yards and two touchdowns in 11 games this year for Seattle. Against the Steelers, it seemed like the team was finally using Graham as much as they should have from the start of the season. Now, he's done for the year and the outlook for his career is up in the air. Battling back from a patellar tendon injury is a long and difficult journey, and there's a chance he'll never be the same player again. |

Dolphins | Anthony Johnson has chance to make team Fri Jun 27, 11:38 PM
Miami Dolphins DT Anthony Johnson has a good chance of beating out DTs A.J. Francis and Isaako Aaitui for the No. 4 defensive tackle spot on the final roster.
| Footballguys view: Johnson was undrafted out of LSU this year, but he has the ability to be a good pro. He's a smart player who can diagnose plays quickly while engaged with his blocker. Johnson gets off the snap quickly and is a sound wrap-up tackler. |
