After spending two games with the Saints, punter Brandon Fields will return to the free agent market. According to Mike Triplett of ESPN.com (via Twitter), New Orleans is releasing Fields today, a hint that veteran punter Thomas Morstead may be ready to return.
Fields is only two years removed from a Pro Bowl season for Miami in 2013. However, despite restructuring his contract to make his 2015 cap hit more palatable, the 31-year-old was beaten out by Matt Darr for the Dolphins’ punting job. Fields served as the Dolphins’ punter for eight seasons before being let go earlier this year.
The Saints signed Fields to fill in for Morstead as he battled a strained quad, and the ex-Dolphins punter had 10 attempts over the last weeks — he averaged 41.2 yards per punt, which would’ve easily been the lowest mark of his career over the course of a full season.
Because he’s a vested veteran, Fields won’t have to pass through waivers before becoming a free agent.
Art Stapleton described the situation thusly on Twitter: “Guarded optimism from #Giants on progress for Victor Cruz, per source. No pain in calf. MRI Wednesday. Could gain clearance to run, practice” (Twitter)
Nerdy Football Analysis: This is great news for Cruz owners who’ve been hanging onto the onetime fantasy stud WR. Cruz may not be the player he once was, but his explosiveness could serve as a perfect complement to the athletic prowess of No. 1 WR Odell Beckham, Jr. and take some heat off the superstar.
Bills starting QB may offer best bet in London vs. Jags
Vic Carucci on Twitter: “Tyrod Taylor says he’s feeling good & optimistic about playing Sunday. Says he has no limitations from knee injury.” (Twitter)
Nerdy Football Analysis: Sprained MCLs can be tough to define and set a timetable for. Taylor said he expects to practice on Wednesday and listed as a limited participant in practice all last week. While there were some rumblings he’d be active as an emergency quarterback against the Bengals, he wasn’t. Both signs indicate Taylor could be ready in time to face the Jaguars, but he is questionable at best. Taylor’s status will be updated throughout the week.
