Ross Dwelley News
Tuesday, December 30, 11:07 AM
The Carolina Panthers have signed tight end Ross Dwelley to their practice squad, per ESPN's David Newton. Newton reports that Dwelley has a chance to be elevated to the active roster for Carolina's Week 18 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in light of tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders (ankle) suffering a season-ending ankle injury in Week 17. Dwelley appeared in 11 games for the Detroit Lions this season, recording two receptions for seven yards on five targets. He's played in 112 career NFL games across eight seasons, hauling in 47 catches for 530 yards and five touchdowns. Carolina still has tight ends Tommy Tremble, Mitchell Evans, and James Mitchell on the active roster, so Dwelley would likely fill a depth role. Tremble appears most likely to serve as the team's primary receiving tight end with Sanders sidelined.

Sam LaPorta News
Saturday, November 14, 5:37 AM
Across eight games in 2026, Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta has recorded 35 catches for 399 yards and three touchdowns on 49 targets. The 25-year-old's production has tailed off in recent weeks, as he's failed to log five catches or 35 receiving yards in three consecutive games. The Lions have operated with a more run-heavy approach since their Week 6 bye, which has impacted LaPorta's production. However, Detroit may look to the air more often in Week 10 against the New England Patriots, whose defense currently ranks 25th in the NFL in yards per pass attempt allowed (7.9). The Lions may also be without top wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (ribs), who is listed as questionable to play with a rib injury. Given his recent downturn in production, LaPorta carries some risk for fantasy managers in Week 10. However, he should still be viewed as a must-start tight end against the Patriots on Sunday.
