Let go by Panthers

Darbo was released by the Panthers on Monday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Re-ups with Panthers

The Panthers signed Darboh to a reserve/future contract Monday, Will Bryan of the team's official site reports.

Signs with Panthers' practice squad

Darboh has agreed to join the Panthers' practice squad.

Analysis: Darboh spent the first half of the season on the Steelers' practice squad after failing to earn a role on their 53-man roster during training camp. However, he was ultimately let go in late-October and has been looking for a new landing spot since. The 26-year-old will now look to make an impression in Carolina and wait for an opportunity to potentially work his way up to the active roster.

Joins Pittsburgh's practice squad

Darboh signed to the Steelers' practice squad Monday.

Analysis: Darboh joined the Steelers late in 2019 but was inactive for the two games he spent on the active roster. The 26-year-old remained with the team through training camp but fell victim to roster cutdowns in early September.

Inactive in Week 17

Darboh was inactive for Sunday's 28-10 loss to the Ravens.

Analysis: A restricted free agent who was added to the roster late in the season to provide receiver depth Darboh did not appear in a game this season. His future with Pittsburgh is unclear heading into 2020.

Dec 31, 2019 7:35 AM EST


Inactive for Week 16

Darboh is inactive for Sunday's Week 16 matchup against the Jets.

Rises to active roster

The Steelers promoted Darboh to the active roster Monday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

Analysis: Darboh was selected by the Seahawks in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft, and he played 16 games in his rookie season, recording eight receptions for 71 yards. The receiver spent the 2018 season in IR due to a hip injury, and he's bounced around but hasn't been active for a game since. Darboh figures to work as a depth option with the Steelers moving forward.

Signs with Steelers' practice squad

The Steelers signed Darboh to the practice squad Monday, Mark Kaboly of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Darboh recently spent time on Tampa Bay's active roster, though he didn't see game action during that period. The 2017 third-round pick last took snaps during his rookie campaign in Seattle, when he caught eight of 13 targets for 71 yards. He'll now look to prove himself in Pittsburgh.

Receives promotion to 53-man roster

Darboh signed a contract with the Buccaneers on Wednesday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Joins practice squad

Darboh signed with the Buccaneers' practice squad Monday.

Sep 16, 2019 2:09 PM EST


Let go by Seattle

Darboh was waived by the Seahawks on Tuesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Analysis: Darboh was waived to make room for fellow wideouts Nyqwan Murray and Khalil Lewis. The 2017 third-round pick appeared to have opportunity before him in Seattle with DK Metcalf (knee) and David Moore (shoulder) both injured, but was unable to carve out a depth role. He'll work to find a depth gig elsewhere in the league.

Returns healthy

Coach Pete Carroll said Darboh (hip) is back at practice and looks good, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Analysis: The 2017 third-round pick caught just eight passes in 16 games his rookie season, then spent his entire sophomore campaign on injured reserve with a hip injury. The Seahawks actually waived him at the end of the preseason, but he reverted back to their roster after the Patriots claimed him and he failed a physical examination. Darboh needs to establish special-teams value to secure a roster spot, after the Seahawks selected D.K. Metcalf (second round), Gary Jennings (fourth) and John Ursua (seventh) in the 2019 draft.

May 22, 2019 5:01 AM EST


Shifts to IR

The Seahawks placed Darboh (hip) on injured reserve Friday, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

Analysis: Darboh underwent an odd chain of events after he was waived by the Seahawks, as he was claimed by the Patriots but failed a physical, sending him back to Seattle's roster. He then had hip surgery. His injured reserve designation is retroactive to Sept. 5, making him inelgibile to return to the Seahawks this season.

Fails physial

Darboh (hip) was waived by the Patriots on Tuesday after failing a physical, Doug Kyed of NESN.com reports.

Analysis: After going thin at wide receiver in their initial 53-man roster, the Patriots made a move to claim Darboh off waivers Sunday. However, he was subsequently unable to pass a physical and will now be left to look for a new opportunity.

Sep 4, 2018 5:42 PM EST


Claimed by Patriots

The Patriots claimed Darboh (hip) off waivers Sunday, Albert Breer of TheMMQB.com reports.

Analysis: New England went thin at wide receiver on the initial 53-man roster, planning to scoop up a couple players after other teams made cuts. The Seahawks selected Darboh with a supplemental third-round pick in last year's draft, but he only caught eight passes as a rookie and has struggled to stay healthy this summer. The Patriots will see how Darboh and Chad Hansen fit in behind Chris Hogan, Phillip Dorsett and Cordarrelle Patterson while Julian Edelman serves a four-game suspension. Darboh's hip injury wasn't believed to be serious and may not even be a factor at this point.

Sep 2, 2018 9:53 AM EST


Waived by Seahawks

Darboh (hip) was waived by Seattle on Saturday, the team's official website reports.

Analysis: A third-round pick last year, Darboh caught just eight passes as a rookie and never seemed to generate much momentum as a potential contributor in the offense. The Seahawks likely drafted him with the belief he'd be a key special teamer at the very least, but even that never came to fruition. The team may still keep Darboh on the practice squad if he passes through waivers unclaimed. There hasn't been any suggestion that his recent hip injury is serious.

Sep 1, 2018 5:56 PM EST


Misses another game

Darboh (hip) didn't play in Thursday's preseason finale against Oakland, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Coach Pete Carroll said Darboh would return for Thursday's game, but it didn't come to fruition. The 2017 third-round pick is on the roster bubble and will finish the preseason without any catches in one appearance.

Aug 30, 2018 10:13 PM EST


Will play in Thursday's preseason contest

Darboh (hip) will play in Thursday's preseason finale against Oakland, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Analysis: The former Michigan standout will likely play for his job during the team's last audition before the games count. While Darboh has shown flashes of potential during his short tenure in Seattle, a history of inconsistencies and nagging injuries has led him to fear his job security. Darboh is believed to be battling Marcus Johnson, David Moore and Keenan Reynolds for depth receiver spots.
