Texans | Brad Smelley, Garrett Graham placed on IR Fri Dec 27, 04:01 PM
The Houston Texans have placed FB Brad Smelley (back, calf) and TE Garrett Graham (hamstring) on Injured Reserve. The team also signed practice squad RB Chad Spann and TE Phillip Supernaw to their active roster. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Still keep an eye on Spann in super deep dynasty leagues. However, we like the stock of rookie Ray Graham better. We'll see Jonathan Grimes as the starting running back for the Texans in Week 17. |

Jets | Several cuts made Mon Aug 26, 09:01 AM
The New York Jets cut WR Joe Collins, S Donnie Fletcher, OG Patrick Ford, OT Trey Gilleo, S Bret Lockett, OG Stephen Peterman, LB Sean Progar-Jackson, P Ryan Quigley, WR Marcus Rucker, LS Patrick Scales, RB Chad Spann, WR K.J. Stroud and WR Rahsaan Vaughn.
| Footballguys view: Chad Spann is the name of note here. He's a natural runner but lacks the speed and ability to make an impact at the pro level. Spann may be able to land on a practice squad somewhere. |

Steelers | Two players waived Wed May 2, 04:39 PM
The Pittsburgh Steelers released RB Chad Spann and CB Antonio Smith.
| Footballguys view: Spann has bounced around to three teams in a year, but will likely get a shot with someone in training camp. He's an instinctive runner but lacks the explosion to be an impact player at the NFL level. |

Buccaneers | Mossis Madu likely to join squad Tue Oct 25, 05:17 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Mossis Madu is expected to be promoted from the practice squad after the season-ending injury to RB Earnest Graham (Achilles'). Madu (6-foot, 197 pounds) presents a smaller option than RBs LeGarrette Blount and Kregg Lumpkin. RB Chad Spann is another possibility to be promoted.
| Footballguys view: Madu is more of a scatback/speed option than Lumpkin or Blount, and would give the team a true change of pace runner. Spann is a favorite of ours because of his instincts, vision, and leg drive he consistently displays as a runner. |

| Footballguys view: Fourth-round pick Delone Carter is the favorite to emerge from the backs behind Joseph Addai, but Spann is our top-ranked undrafted back this year. |
