The Los Angeles Chargers have activated running back Gus Edwards from the injured reserve and signed tight end Tucker Fisk to the active roster. Additionally, cornerback Eli Apple and linebacker Caleb Murphy have been elevated from the practice squad for the upcoming game. Edwards, who has a history with the Baltimore Ravens, has contributed significantly in both regular and postseason games. Fisk, previously with the Atlanta Falcons, has shown versatility playing both tight end and defensive end. Apple, a former first-round pick, brings experience from his time with the New York Giants and Ohio State.
In an interview with Kevin Nogle of The Phinsider, the focus is on the Miami Dolphins and their upcoming game against the New York Giants. Nogle discusses the role of cornerback Eli Apple, who has been quiet but may see limited playing time. He also highlights the Dolphins' real problems, including injuries on the offensive line and with pass rushers, as well as concerns about the defense's performance. Nogle suggests that the Giants should prioritize running the ball and attacking Miami's cornerback Kader Kohou, while also focusing on disrupting the Dolphins' passing game and being disciplined against the run.
The Cincinnati Bengals' draft class and free agent signings have likely ended any chance of Eli Apple returning to the team. The Bengals selected two cornerbacks in the 2023 NFL Draft and signed former Raiders cornerback Sidney Jones IV to a one-year deal, leaving little room for Apple on the roster. Despite his polarizing presence on and off the field, Apple helped the Bengals reach the Super Bowl in the 2021 season.
