AP Photos The Bears already felt good about their wide receiver group Tuesday, but added to it anyway by picking up Justin Hardy. Hardy is likely to sign with the team in time for the first practice of training camp Wednesday. The Bears signed Hardy and fellow receiver Jon’Vea Johnson and cut defensive back Rojesterman Farris and receiver Khalil McClain. Hardy, 29, played five seasons for the Falcons after the drafted him in the fourth round out of East Carolina. He did not play last season. Over the 2016 and ‘17 seasons, Hardy caught 41 passes for 424 yards and seven touchdowns, but failed to break 200 years either of the next two seasons. He played all 16 games in 2019, getting 17% of the offensive snaps, and finished with 19 catches for 195 yards.
Texans place 3 on COVID list, release WR Donte Moncrief Field Level Media 28 Jul 2021, 12:19 GMT+10 The Houston Texans placed offensive lineman Geron Christian Sr., running back Buddy Howell and wide receiver Taywan Taylor on the COVID-19 list Tuesday. In addition, the team released veteran wideout Donte Moncrief with a non-football injury designation. Christian and Taylor are entering their first seasons with the Texans. Houston claimed Christian, 24, off waivers from Washington in May after Christian s brief stint as the team s starting left tackle. Christian, Washington s third-round draft pick in 2018, played 24 games in three seasons for the team and made eight starts, including six starts last year. He suffered a knee injury during Week 6 and was eventually moved to injured reserve for the remainder of the season.
A QB arrival…and departures By Mark Daniels Jul 27, 2021 | 4:31 PM Under a midnight sky, Aaron Rodgers returned to Green Bay, deplaning from a private jet at Austin Straubel International Airport, hoping into a waiting SUV and catching a couple of winks before showing up at Lambeau Field around 8:30 this morning, looking every bit like an MVP quarterback ready for a sequel season, perhaps his last as a Packer. Â Â The tumultuous off-season in the rear view mirror but with almost as many questions remaining about his future beyond the 2021 campaign, Rodgers put his name on a contract reconstructed by General Manager Brian Gutekunst.
Copied! To kick off training camp Tuesday, Bears general manager Ryan Pace and coach Matt Nagy spoke to the media in person at Halas Hall for the first time in 18 months. Here are four things we learned from their 37-minute session: (1) Veteran nose tackle Eddie Goldman is expected to practice with his teammates in training camp. The Bears defense received a big boost Tuesday when Goldman reported to Halas Hall. A Pro Bowl alternate in 2019, the 6-3, 318-pounder opted out of the 2020 season due to COVID-19 concerns. Goldman then skipped the voluntary offseason program as well as the Bears mandatory minicamp in June. But Pace anticipates the Florida State product will practice this week. The first workout is scheduled for Wednesday, followed by the first session that s open to the public Thursday.
Just when you thought the Chicago Bears were ready to roll into training camp with the receivers already at Halas Hall, a new name joins the mix. After trading WR Anthony Miller to the #Texans, the #Bears have signed former #Falcons WR Justin Hardy, source said. The ex-Atlanta fourth-rounder gets a shot in Chicago. NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport tweets the Bears are signing free agent receiver Justin Hardy. UPDATE – Corresponding moves: We have signed WRs Justin Hardy and Jon’Vea Johnson and have waived DB Rojesterman Farris and WR Khalil McClain. The Falcons chose Hardy in the fourth round (107th overall) of the 2015 NFL Draft. Hardy, 29, has 95 career catches, 946 receiving yards, and 9 touchdowns in 73 career games. There isn’t a ton of starting experience (just 6 games) under Hardy’s belt. However, Hardy has experience as a return specialist, collecting 20 punt returns and snagging two kick returns back in 2018. Also worth noting is that Hardy did not play in 2020. So, in other words, this signing seems like a dart throw. Hey, there’s nothing wrong with that this time of year. Especially considering Chicago’s desire to create competition throughout the roster.
