Browns | Several players cut by Browns Mon Aug 29, 02:32 PM
Cleveland Browns WR Josh Boyce, WR Ed Eagan, FB Robert Hughes and TE David Reeves were released Monday, Aug. 29.
Footballguys view: A fourth-round pick in 2013 by the Patriots, Boyce is now looking for his fourth team in the pros. |

Browns | Cleveland makes three roster moves Thu Aug 4, 03:31 PM
Free-agent RBs Robert Hughes (Cardinals) and Rajion Neal (Steelers) were signed by the Cleveland Browns Thursday, Aug. 4. FB Patrick Skov was waived.
Footballguys view: Hughes played all 16 games for the Arizona Cardinals in 2014 (albeit normally on special teams) but wasn't active once in 2015. He's strictly a short yardage back and is nothing special. Rajion Neal was last seen on the Dolphins' practice squad, after being cut by the Packers where he had been allegedly in the mix for getting the RB3 position. He's good on passing downs but isn't anyone you would use to carry the rock as a lead back. Both are so-so talents who are unlikely to beat out Isaiah Crowell or Duke Johnson for snaps. |

Cardinals | Three players sign Reserve/Futures deals Tue Jan 26, 03:20 PM
Arizona Cardinals RBs Marion Grice and Robert Hughes and WR Jaxon Shipley signed Reserve/Futures contracts Tuesday, Jan. 26.
Footballguys view: Grice is the most interesting player here in super deep dynasty leagues. He's a powerful runner who makes his living between the tackles. Hughes, an undrafted free agent (2011) out of Notre Dame, has bounced around to several teams in his short career but he's been with the Cardinals since 2013. |

Cardinals | Arizona cuts two RBs Fri Sep 4, 12:45 PM
Arizona Cardinals RB Robert Hughes and RB Paul Lasike were cut Friday, Sept. 4.
Footballguys view: Hughes was considered a possible short yardage back for the Cardinals, so this is good news for Andre Ellington and David Johnson. We'll be watching closely to see who gets the call in those situations vs. New Orleans Week 1. |

Cardinals | Marion Grice could start Sunday Tue Dec 2, 09:33 AM
Arizona Cardinals RB Marion Grice will likely start if RB Andre Ellington (hip) can't go Sunday, Dec. 7, in Week 14. RBs Stepfan Taylor and Robert Hughes would also be in the mix.
Footballguys view: Grice is a no-nonsense rookie back from Arizona State. Coming out of college, Grice was known as a speed back with exceptional quickness. He has good vision and the footwork to make defenders miss in the open field. Grice is not much of a banger, and he'll struggle to run through arm tackles. In Week 14, Arizona faces a Kansas City Chiefs team that surrendered over 200 yards rushing to the Denver Broncos last week. |

Cardinals | Stepfan Taylor to see more work Thu Sep 18, 02:02 PM
Arizona Cardinals RB Stepfan Taylor will likely see his role increased with RB Jonathan Dwyer deactivated indefinitely. Stepfan is a smaller back than Dwyer. Taylor and RB Robert Hughes have combined for two carries for four yards in two games as the team's third and fourth options. RB Andre Ellington (foot) also missed practice Wednesday, Sept. 17, and the team is hoping he can do some work Thursday, Sept. 18.
Footballguys view: Andre "Duke" Ellington will still get the workload, but Taylor just became his handcuff. Taylor will be the "big back" and goal line option, spelling Ellington as well when he needs it. He's not worth much more than a flex though, somewhere along the line of a RB3 or RB4 unless Ellington gets hurt. |

Cardinals | Teammate impressed with Robert Hughes Wed Jul 2, 11:26 PM
Arizona Cardinals QB Carson Palmer said he was impressed with how FB Robert Hughes performed during offseason workouts, especially his pass catching skills. 'I think once you put pads on, he's 240 pounds and built like a bulldog and I think he's going to run through people and run over people. But I've been very shocked for a guy with his build and his power, how fluid he is running routes and how well he does adjusting to balls and catching balls and in the pass game he's been really good,' Palmer said.
Footballguys view: Given how bad the offensive line was last year, someone else to block is nothing but good. We don't expect him to eat into anyone's carries but he could be a nice addition for the run game as a lead blocker. |

Arizona Cardinals RB Robert Hughes' versatility has made him the favorite to claim the fourth running back spot behind RBs Andre Ellington, Stepfan Taylor and Jonathan Dwyer.

Colts | Ahmad Bradshaw waiting to decide on surgery Fri Oct 4, 02:54 PM
Indianapolis Colts RB Ahmad Bradshaw (neck) will take some time to decide whether to undergo surgery on his neck. 'Ahmad has obviously seen several specialist, collected a lot of information,' head coach Chuck Pagano said. 'He's going to take the next couple of weeks to kind of sit back and decide where he's going to go with this thing. I don't know ultimately where that is. But in the end, it'll be up to Ahmad and the doctors to come to a final decision on what's going to transpire there. He'll be out at least a couple more weeks.' RB Trent Richardson will continue as the starting running back, with RBs Donald Brown and Robert Hughes backing him up.
Footballguys view: We don't expect to see Bradshaw again this year. There's a chance that he comes back, but not enough to be worth tying up a roster spot on him. |

The team also waived injured OT Emmett Cleary (undisclosed), LB Shawn Loiseau (undisclosed) and CB Daxton Swanson (undisclosed).
Footballguys view: Harnish could stick around on the practice squad. The team doesn't need three active QBs because they have seasoned veteran Matt Hasselbeck behind superstar Andrew Luck. |

Colts | Donald Brown lands on IR Tue Dec 11, 04:48 PM
The Indianapolis Colts placed RB Donald Brown (ankle) and FB Robert Hughes (knee) on the Injured Reserve Tuesday, Dec. 11, and re-signed RBs Deji Karim and Mewelde Moore to the active roster in corresponding moves. Also, the team signed free-agent RB Davin Meggett (Texans) to the practice squad and released RB Alvester Alexander from the practice squad. OG Justin Anderson (undisclosed) was placed on the practice squad injured list.
Footballguys view: Without Brown in the lineup we'll see the team continue to feature rookie Vick Ballard as the lead back. Two of the next three weeks the Colts face the tough Texans rush defense. That makes Ballard more of a low end RB2 or flex play in week 15 & 17. However, in week 16 (fantasy championship) the Colts face a weak Chiefs defense. Ballard could help you win your title if you can make it through this week. |
