Max Klare In Line for More Reps in Week 4

Wednesday, September 30, 1:58 PM

When asked if tight end Terrance Ferguson (ankle) being unlikely to play in Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles opens the door for rookie Max Klare to see more snaps this week, Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said, "It certainly does. Obviously, being able to play with multiple tight ends has become a big part of our identity, and so it absolutely does." Klare, the 61st overall pick in the second round in April's NFL Draft from Ohio State, has not played a single snap on offense through the first three weeks, but it sounds like that is going to change this weekend with both Ferguson and Colby Parkinson (shoulder) potentially inactive. The problem for Klare is that the Rams also have Tyler Higbee and Davis Allen in the mix at TE, and they should be the favorites for more targets in the passing game from quarterback Matthew Stafford against the Eagles. Higbee caught eight of 11 targets for 62 yards and his first touchdown of the year in Sunday night's loss to the Denver Broncos after both Ferguson and Parkinson aggravated their injuries and left the game.

Dolphins Select Seydou Traore with Pick No. 180

Saturday, April 25, 12:50 PM

The Miami Dolphins have selected Mississippi State tight end Seydou Traore with the 180th overall pick in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Traore was born in France but grew up in London, where he joined the NFL Academy as part of the league's International Pathway Program. He began his collegiate career at Arkansas State before transferring first to Colorado and then immediately to Mississippi State, forcing him to sit out the 2023 season as a double transfer. While he never topped his 49 receptions or 628 yards as a sophomore at Arkansas State, he scored a career-high five touchdowns in 2025. Still relatively new to the sport, Traore offers plus-athleticism and could find opportunities to find the field on a Dolphins offense that is reshaping itself on the fly. Miami spent a third-round pick on Ohio State tight end Will Kacmarek, who profiles more as an inline blocker, and they return fifth-year veteran Greg Dulcich after he caught 26 passes with the team in 2025.
