  Cardinals | Jeff Matthews signs    Mon Dec 15, 12:52 PM

The Arizona Cardinals signed free-agent QB Jeff Matthews (Falcons) to their practice squad Monday, Dec. 15. LB Kion Wilson was released from the practice squad in a corresponding move.

Footballguys view: Matthews is an interesting addition here. The Cornell QB is big, smart and has a rocket arm. He drew some comparisons to Ben Roethlisberger while in college, and we're monitoring him in super deep dynasty leagues.

  Cardinals | Two signed    Wed Nov 26, 05:38 PM

The Arizona Cardinals re-signed RB Kerwynn Williams and free-agent LB Kion Wilson (49ers) to their practice squad Wednesday, Nov. 26.

Footballguys view: Williams is a speedy change of pace back who has bounced around the league. He's not worth monitoring unless you're in a ridiculously deep dynasty league.

  Steelers | Week 14 Inactives    Sun Dec 8, 11:36 AM

The Pittsburgh Steelers have declared DL Brett Keisel, C David Snow, WR Derek Moye, CB Isaiah Green, OG Kelvin Beachum, LB Kion Wilson, QB Landry Jones inactive for Week 14.

Footballguys view: Beachum was coming on as a left tackle, but Mike Adams will have to be reinstalled for the first time since Week 14. Ben Roethlisberger is used to running around behind a porous offensive line, so this doesn't greatly change his outlook today.

Footballguys view: The Steelers are pretty healthy as a team, so it's hard to chalk up their struggles to injuries other than losing Maurkice Pouncey early in the season.

Footballguys view: Gross is Cam Newton's left tackle, but we wouldn't downgrade Newton's matchup because he is so strong and mobile.

  Panthers | Two will be signed off practice squad    Wed Nov 16, 12:11 PM

The Carolina Panthers will sign practice squad RB Josh Vaughan and LB Kion Wilson to their active roster.

Footballguys view: Vaughan will take the place of Mike Goodson, who has been put on IR with a hamstring injury. He's not creative or elusive as a runner, but has a straight forward hard charging style and can run through arm tackles consistently.

  Chargers | Eight players added to practice squad    Sun Sep 5, 04:19 PM

The San Diego Chargers have announced they have re-signed WR Seyi Ajirotutu, RB Curtis Brinkley, QB Jonathan Crompton, TE Dedrick Epps, WR Richard Goodman, OL Jeff Hansen, OT Nic Richmond and LB Kion Wilson to their practice squad.

Footballguys view: Jonathan 'City of' Crompton has good upside, but was somewhat raw coming out of Tenneseee and only had one year of good production in college. Seyi Ajirotutu is a quick learner with good size and leaping ability.

  Chargers | 19 UDFAs signed    Mon Apr 26, 03:17 PM

The San Diego Chargers have announced they have signed undrafted free-agent WR Seyi Ajirotutu (Fresno State), OT Bradt Bond (Oklahoma State), TE Richard Brockel (Boise State), TE Dajleon Farr (Memphis), WR Richard Goodman (Florida State), OG Jeff Hansen (Montana State), FS Cory Jackson (Maryland), WR Jordyn Jackson (Eastern Oregon), OT Justin Jeffries (Kentucky), P Cort Johnson (West Texas A&M), LB Brandon Lang (Troy State), RB Shawnbrey McNeal (Southern Methodist), OT Ryan Otterson (Wyoming), OT Stephan Richmond (Minnesota), CB Traye Simmons (Minnesota), WR Ernest Smith (Baylor), WR Bryan Walters (Cornell), WR Jeremy Williams (Tulane) and LB Kion Wilson (South Florida). Terms of the contracts were not disclosed.

Footballguys view: Seyi Ajirotutu gets to join his college teammate (and first-round pick) Ryan Mathews in San Diego. Our very own Cecil Lammey saw Ajirotutu during the week of practice at the Shrine Game in Orlando earlier this year and came away impressed. Ajirotutu is a smooth strider that can get on top of a defense in a hurry. He was working closely with WR coach Keenan McCardell at that game, and seemed to be a fast learner and hard worker. The rookie may have to stick around on the practice squad, but he has upside to be a quality reserve one day.
