Eagles' Jason Croom: Picks up second career TD
Rotowire
Croom recorded a three-yard touchdown reception Sunday in the Eagles' 30-28 loss to the Ravens.
Making his team debut, Croom took the field as part of the Eagles' goal-line package in the fourth quarter and was able to find paydirt on his lone offensive snap of the contest. With top tight end Zach Ertz (ankle) expected to miss the next 3-to-4 weeks after exiting early in Sunday's contest, Croom should stick on the Eagles' active roster for the team's Week 7 game against the Giants on Thursday night. Ertz's absence may open up some more snaps for Croom, but expect Richard Rodgers to dominate the work at the position.

The former Bill made his first NFL appearance in two years during Philadelphia's Week 5 loss to the Steelers, though he only garnered two offensive snaps and seven special-teams snaps.

Bills' Jason Croom: Nets extension
Rotowire
Croom (hamstring) re-signed with the Bills on a one-year deal Saturday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Croom, who led the Bills in tight end receiving yards and catches in 2018, spent all of last year on injured reserve thanks to a nagging hamstring injury. With the emergence of rookie Dawson Knox and depth veterans such as Tyler Kroft and Lee Smith, it seems unlikely Croom will see any significant time on the field in 2020, should he make the team at all.
