Chester Rogers: Lands back on practice squad
Rotowire
Rogers reverted to the Browns' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Rogers was elevated from Cleveland's practice squad for the third time in four weeks, as he once again served as the team's primary returner with Jerome Ford (ankle) still on IR. The 28-year-old wideout averaged 21.2 yards over five kickoff returns and returned two punts for seven yards, though he did cough up a fumble on his final punt return. Rogers will now require a full spot on the Browns' active roster in order to suit up for the team again this season.

Browns' Chester Rogers: Muffed return is costly
Rotowire
Rogers returned five kickoffs for 106 yards and two punts for seven yards but fumbled a punt return that was recovered by New England in Sunday's 38-15 loss in Week 6.
Rogers, elevated from the practice squad for the third time, played only on special teams. His muffed punt came in the fourth quarter after the Browns stopped the Patriots on a three-and-out. At the time, Cleveland was trailing by nine points with a little under five minutes remaining. The Browns have rotated bodies as returners this season and had seemed to have settled on Jerome Ford until an ankle injury landed him on injured reserve. Rogers' miscue will likely get the team to keep looking.

Rotowire
Rogers reverted to the Browns' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Rogers was elevated from the practice squad for the second time this season in Week 5, playing all eight of his snaps on special teams.

Rotowire
Rogers was elevated from the Browns' practice squad Saturday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Rogers was elevated from the team's practice squad for the Week 3 win over Pittsburgh, serving as the Browns' primary punt returner. He could start to earn a more regular role for the team's special teams unit and will look to build on his snap count in Sunday's matchup against the Chargers.

Browns' Chester Rogers: Handles punt returns
Rotowire
Rogers did not play on offense and returned two punts for 11 yards in Thursday's 29-17 win over the Steelers in Week 3.
Rogers was promoted from the practice squad and replaced Demetric Felton (inactive) as the primary returner on punts. While Rogers is unlikely to make an impact in an offense that runs more than it throws, the team is searching for consistency in the return game, and he could find a home there.

The 28-year-old wideout appeared in 16 games for the Titans last year, catching 30 of 43 targets for 301 yards and one score.

Chester Rogers: Reaches injury settlement
Rotowire
The Texans released Rodgers (undisclosed) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Monday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Texans' Chester Rogers: Back at practice Tuesday
Rotowire
Rogers (ankle) returned to practice Tuesday, Adam Wexler of SportsTalk790 reports.
Rodgers signed with the Texans following John Metchie's Actue Promyelocytic Leukemia diagnosis, but he was immediately sidelined for two weeks with an ankle issue.

Texans' Chester Rogers: Gets deal with Houston
Rotowire
Rogers signed a one-year deal with the Texans on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Rogers had a tryout with the Texans earlier in the day and impressed enough to earn a deal. Last season with the Titans, Rogers caught 30 of 43 targets for 301 yards and a touchdown in his fifth season in the league.

Titans' Chester Rogers: Produces little again
Rotowire
Rogers recorded two catches on two targets for four yards in Sunday's 28-25 win over the Texans.
Rogers recorded multiple receptions for the third time in his last five games. However, he did very little with the opportunity, and he has failed to top 20 yards in four of those same five contests. Even with Julio Jones and A.J. Brown each absent for extended portions of the campaign, Rogers managed only 30 receptions for 301 yards and one touchdown across 17 games on the season. He'll become a free agent at the conclusion of the Titans' postseason run, and he's likely to fill a similar depth role wherever he finds his next opportunity.

Titans' Chester Rogers: Two short catches
Rotowire
Rogers recorded two receptions on two targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 34-3 win over Miami.
Rogers finished third among the Titans' wide receiver corps with 20 offensive snaps, working behind both Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and A.J. Brown. Both of his catches came in the third quarter, though his primary contribution continued to come as the Titans' primary punt returner. If Julio Jones (illness) is activated in time for a Week 18 matchup against Houston, Rogers will slip further down the wide receiver depth chart.

Titans' Chester Rogers: Tallies four receptions
Rotowire
Rogers recorded four receptions on four targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 19-13 loss to Pittsburgh.
Rogers saw a bump in usage due to Julio Jones' (hamstring) early exit, and he managed to record multiple receptions in a game for only the second time in his last nine games. However, snap counts suggest that Rogers remains buried on the depth chart, as he saw less time on the field than both Cody Hollister and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine. Rogers is in danger of sliding further down the depth chart if A.J. Brown (chest) is activated from injured reserve in time for the team's Week 16 matchup against the 49ers.

Titans' Chester Rogers: Another quiet performance
Rotowire
Rogers recorded one reception on one target for 13 yards in Sunday's 20-0 win over the Jaguars.
Rogers was projected to lose some opportunity due to the return of Julio Jones, though he still had the chance to produce in the absence of A.J. Brown (chest). However, he's failed to step up among a depleted Titans' receiving corps by racking up only two receptions for 15 yards combined across the last two games.
