Armani Rogers: Joins Falcons' practice squad
The Falcons signed Rogers to their practice squad Monday, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.

The Ohio product most recently appeared in an NFL game with the Commanders in 2022, catching five of his six targets for 64 yards across 11 contests. Rogers could be elevated to Atlanta's active roster if the team's tight-end room faces injuries at any point this season.

Commanders' Armani Rogers: Converts to TE as rookie
Rogers caught five of six targets for 64 yards in 11 games during the 2022 season.
Rogers was a dual-threat QB at UNLV and Ohio before catching on with the Commanders as an undrafted free agent and converting to tight end. He's listed at only 225 pounds, but the team nonetheless trusted him to play at least 13 snaps in five straight games Weeks 6-10 while John Bates, Logan Thomas and Cole Turner alternately dealt with injuries. Rogers likely will be tasked with adding weight this offseason and could make a push up the depth chart with no mainstay ahead of him, though he's already 25 and faces an uphill battle to approximate Thomas' unusual career arc (also a college QB, and a late bloomer in the pros).

Commanders' Armani Rogers: Good to go for Week 18
The Commanders activated Rogers (knee/ankle) from injured reserve Saturday.
Rogers landed on IR with knee and ankle injuries following the Week 10 contest versus Philadelphia. The undrafted rookie was then designated to return to practice Dec. 28, and he'll now be available for Sunday's regular-season finale versus Dallas. Rogers has caught five of six targets for 64 yards across 10 games this season, and it's likely he'll continue to slot into a supplemental role alongside Cole Turner and John Bates while Logan Thomas serves as the team's primary receiving tight end.

Commanders' Armani Rogers: Set to return to practice
Rogers (knee) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday.
Rogers has been out since late November while dealing with knee and ankle injuries, but he will now have a shot at being activated before the end of the regular season. The tight end has appeared in 10 games this year, reeling in five catches for 64 yards while also rushing for 24 yards on his only carry. Rogers has split time evenly between the offensive unit and special teams and he will likely return to a similar role if activated.

Commanders' Armani Rogers: Lands on IR
Washington placed Rogers (knee/ankle) on injured reserve Saturday, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.
Rogers was already ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans due to knee and ankle injuries, but he'll now be forced to miss at least the next four contests. In his absence, John Bates and Cole Turner will operate as the primary backups to Logan Thomas.

Commanders' Armani Rogers: Gets first NFL carry
Rogers had a 24-yard carry but no targets in Sunday's 20-17 loss to Minnesota.
Rogers finished third among Washington's tight ends with 13 snaps (20 percent) but arguably had the biggest contribution with his long gain on an end-around to convert a 3rd-and-short. While unlikely to make much of a dent as a pass catcher this season, the college QB could be part of trick plays on occasion and seems to be a better blocker than one might expect of an undersized, converted tight end. Next up for Rogers are road games against the Eagles (Week 10) and Texans (Week 11).

Commanders' Armani Rogers: Targeted twice
Rogers caught one of two targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 17-16 win over Indianapolis
The rookie played 36 percent of the offensive snaps even with Logan Thomas back in the lineup, and Thomas finished without a target despite leading the team's TEs with a 56 percent snap share. John Bates also got a good bit of playing time, 33 percent, and Thomas could take on more work in Week 9 against Minnesota now that he's returned from a three-walk absence due to a calf injury. Rogers thus appears unlikely to see more than a target or two, but he's put himself on the map for deeper dynasty leagues at least, earning playing time as an undrafted rookie after playing a different position (QB) in college.
