• Quintez Cephus: Joins Rams' practice squad

  09/18/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Rams signed Cephus to their practice squad Wednesday. Cephus failed to make the Texans' initial 53-man roster in late August, but he's found a new opportunity in Los Angeles. The veteran wideout's most recent in-game action came with the Lions in 2022, when he caught two passes for 15 yards across four contests. Cephus has a chance to be elevated to the Rams' active roster at some point, with Cooper Kupp (ankle) and Puka Nacua (knee) both expected to miss significant time.

  The Texans waived Cephus on Tuesday. After being waived by the Bills in May, Cephus caught on with the Texans in mid-July before the start of training camp. He had been competing for a depth spot at wide receiver, and across four preseason games, he registered six catches on 10 targets for 40 yards. The 2020 fifth-round pick should garner some interest from teams in need of a wide receiver either on the active roster or practice squad.

• Texans' Quintez Cephus: Lands in Houston

  07/16/2024 • By RotoWire

  Cephus agreed to terms Tuesday on a contract with the Texans, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Cephus spent time in Buffalo earlier this offseason, but he was cut by the Bills prior to the 2024 NFL Draft. The 2020 fifth-round pick briefly flashed during his time in Detroit, but he was then suspended the entire 2023 season for violating the league's gambling policy. Now, Cephus will compete for a depth role in Houston's crowded WR room, with all of Robert Woods, Noah Brown, John Metchie, Ben Skowronek and Xavier Hutchinson vying for end-of-roster gigs. At best, Cephus will likely be competing for a spot on the practice squad.

  04/28/2024 • By RotoWire

  Cephus reached an agreement with the Bills on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Cephus is attempting to revive his NFL career after he was suspended all of last season for violating the league's gambling policy. The 26-year-old wide receiver played in 13 games with Detroit during his 2020 rookie campaign, totaling 20 receptions for 349 yards and two touchdowns, but he participated in just nine contests in the subsequent two years, compiling 17 catches for 219 yards and two scores. Cephus will have a chance to compete for a roster spot among a Buffalo wide-receiver corps that will look much different from last season with the offseason departures of Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis.
