Antonio Gates Uncertain For Week 12

The Carolina Panthers and free agent tight end Darren Waller reached agreement Wednesday on a one-year deal, his agency announced.

The 33-year-old playmaker spent last season with the Miami Dolphins working with new Panthers associate head coach/offensive specialist Darrell Bevell, who was Miami's passing game coordinator/quarterbacks coach.

It would be easy to brush this one off, but that's what we tried to do last year before Waller scored six times in nine games in an oft-injured season. At the least, this lowers the floor for Sanders, who was already down in TE streaming territory. Assuming Waller is healthy heading into the season, it will be difficult to plug either TE into lineups.

Former Raiders RB Zamir White is signing with the 49ers.

This is more than likely just a camp body to battle at the edge of the roster bubble, but it is also a direct reaction to James (rib) and Black (adductor) missing time during camp. Black seemed like he was in the lead for the No. 2 role behind CMC, but we'll have to see how the next few weeks play out.

Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka limped off with athletic trainers. Was examined on the sideline table for a while. Hard to see exactly what’s up from where we are but he’s still on the table and hasn’t returned.

Garafolo later followed up that, "Egbuka, with both cleats off, just walked back to the sideline to watch the rest of practice." Considering he came back out to the sideline without help, we shouldn't put a ton of stock in a significant injury. For now, he remains a fringe WR2/3 unless we hear something more dire here.
