Robert Woods Announces his Retirement

Tuesday, February 17, 1:08 PM

Wide receiver Robert Woods announced his retirement from professional football on Tuesday on his Instagram, according to Omar Ruiz of the NFL Network. Woods was with the Pittsburgh Steelers in training camp last summer but requested his release before the start of the regular season, and he never latched on with another team. The 33-year-old wraps up a successful 12-year NFL career, having caught 683 of his 1,093 targets for 8,233 yards and 38 touchdowns in 171 regular-season games played. Woods was originally a second-round pick in 2013 out of USC by the Buffalo Bills, and he played the first four years of his career with the Bills. He won a Super Bowl ring with the Los Angeles Rams in 2021. In Woods' final NFL campaign in 2024 with the Houston Texans, he caught 20 of 30 targets for 203 yards and no touchdowns.

Saquon Barkley Ruled Out for Week 5

Friday, October 9, 10:14 AM

After not practicing all week, Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 5 against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London, according to John Clark of NBC Sports. Backup Tank Bigsby (abdomen) also had core-muscle surgery and is on Injured Reserve, which means that Will Shipley is set up to handle the bulk of the backfield duties this weekend against Jacksonville. Former Houston Texans RB Dameon Pierce was added to the active 53-man roster this week and will help handle change-of-pace duties on Sunday in his first game with Philly. Barkley suffered a hamstring injury in last week's loss to the Los Angeles Rams, but the good news is that his injury is not believed to be long-term, so hopefully he will have a shot to return for Week 6 tilt at home against the Carolina Panthers next Sunday. The 29-year-old is still searching for his first touchdown of the year, but he is averaging a healthy 5.1 yards per carry and has 182 rushing yards on his 36 rushing attempts through four games. Shipley should at least be considered an RB3/flex against the Jags.
