  • Massive performance in blowout loss

    Roberts finished Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Chiefs with 18 tackles (seven solo), including one stop for a loss.

    Analysis: Roberts was on the field for 75 of 81 defensive snaps (92.6 percent) and joined three other Raiders defenders in registering double-digit stops. His 18 tackles were the most of his 10-year NFL career and just the sixth time he has logged double-digit tackles in a game. Roberts is up to 40 stops through seven regular-season games, and he should surpass his total from the 2024 campaign (46 tackles across 17 regular-season games) as a member of the Steelers.

  • Good to go versus Chargers

    Roberts (elbow) isn't on the Las Vegas' injury report ahead of Monday's matchup versus the Chargers, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.

    Analysis: Roberts is healthy again after picking up an elbow injury in the fourth quarter of the team's Week 1 win over the Patriots. He will once again serve as the team's starting middle linebacker for Monday's matchup.

  • Returns to limited practice Friday

    Roberts (elbow) was a limited practice participant Friday.

    Analysis: Roberts was held out of practice Thursday due to an elbow issue but was able to log a limited session Friday. The injury occurred in Las Vegas' Week 1 win over New England, and Roberts was removed from the contest after logging just 11 defensive snaps. Roberts' limited practice Friday provides hope that he may be able to suit up Monday against the Chargers, but if he's unable to go, Tommy Eichenberg would likely get a start at linebacker.

  • Absent from practice

    Roberts (elbow) did not practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Roberts was injured in the Raiders' Week 1 win over the Patriots and was unable to return to the contest. Tommy Eichenberg replaced Roberts in the lineup and would be in line to possibly start in Week 2 against the Chargers on Monday night if Roberts is deemed inactive.

  • Won't return vs. New England

    Roberts (elbow) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Patriots.

    Analysis: Roberts injured his left elbow in the first quarter, and the issue is severe enough for him to miss the rest of Sunday's regular-season opener. With Roberts done for the day, Tommy Eichenberg will serve as the Raiders' middle linebacker the rest of the way.

    Roberts is questionable to return to Sunday's game against New England due to a left elbow injury, Paul Gutierrez of Raiders.com reports.

    Analysis: Roberts suffered the injury late in the first quarter and will undergo further tests to determine the severity of the issue. Tommy Eichenberg will see an uptick in snaps at middle linebacker for as long as Roberts is sidelined.

  • Signs with Las Vegas

    The Raiders agreed to terms with Roberts on a one-year, $3 million contract Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The Raiders lost Robert Spillane in free agency Monday, and Divine Deablo is also free to sign elsewhere. Roberts' addition will help mitigate those losses after the 30-year-old linebacker started 14 of 17 regular-season games for the Steelers last season, recording 46 tackles (24 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one forced fumble on 44 percent of the defensive snaps.

  • Sees drop in output in 2024

    Roberts recorded 46 tackles, including 1.0 sacks, along with one forced fumble over 17 regular-season games during the 2024 campaign.

    Analysis: Roberts entered the season having registered back-to-back seasons of more than 100 stops, but he didn't get even halfway to that mark in 2024 despite playing in all 17 of Pittsburgh's regular-season contests. Part of the reason was less playing time, but the veteran linebacker still played on more than 457 defensive snaps during the campaign after logging 557 last year. Roberts did come up big in the postseason with 14 stops in a wild-card loss to Baltimore. Despite the statistical decrease in…read more

  • Tops 100 tackles in 2023

    Roberts logged 101 tackles (68 solo), including 2.5 sacks, while recording two pass defenses over 16 games during the 2023 season.

    Analysis: Roberts joined the Steelers on a two-year deal ahead of the 2023 campaign, and he topped 100 tackles for a second consecutive season. He led the team in tackles by a significant margin, as no other Steeler had over 68 tackles. Roberts will presumably remain in Pittsburgh in 2024 and should have a chance to play a prominent role once again.

  • Practices in full

    Roberts (pectoral) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Roberts has been battling a pectoral injury over the last week or so, but after a full practice session Thursday, it seems as if he's been able to move past the issue. The eighth-year linebacker has recorded 101 total tackles, including 10 tackles for loss, in 16 appearances this season, and he'll look to add to those totals in Sunday's wild-card outing in Buffalo while helping make up for the absence of T.J. Watt (knee).

    Roberts (pectoral) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Roberts suffered a pectoral injury Week 16 versus Cincinnati, and the issue appears to still be lingering. The eight-year vet sat out Week 17 due to the injury but was able to return for the Steelers' season finale against Baltimore, though he was limited to just 39 percent of the team's defensive snaps. Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Roberts is expected to play in Sunday's wild-card game versus Buffalo, per Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site.

  • Good to go

    Roberts (pectoral) will play in Saturday's game versus the Ravens, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official website reports.

    Analysis: Roberts was a limited participant at practice throughout the week and was considered a true game-time decision. He is apparently feeling well enough to give it a go, so look for him to take on his usual workload at linebacker, assuming he avoids any setbacks.

  • Gets questionable tag

    Roberts (pectoral) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game at Baltimore, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Roberts was a limited participant at practice Wednesday and Thursday, so it's possible his availability will be in question until the Steelers are required to list their inactive players 90 minutes prior to kickoff Saturday. If Roberts is one of those inactive players in Week 18, Mykal Walker and Myles Jack figure to start at linebacker against the Ravens.

  • Won't play Week 17

    Coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Roberts (pectoral) will not play Sunday against the Seahawks, Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Roberts was injured against Cincinnati. Being ruled out this early in the week would suggest the veteran linebacker is dealing with a significant injury. The Steelers already have three linebackers on injured reserve. Mykal Walker and Myles Jack finished the Week 16 with the majority of snaps.

  • Does not finish game

    Roberts was ruled out of Saturday's win over the Bengals due to a pectoral injury that will warrant an MRI, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Analysis: Roberts left the locker room in a sling, and it seems like a formality the veteran will need an MRI to find the extent of the damage. He had five tackles prior to leaving the game with the injury, allowing Mykal Walker to finish with a team lead in tackles (eight), while Roberts' prominent substitution, Myles Jack, tallied six tackles and a sack.

    Roberts recorded nine tackles (eight solo) in Saturday's 30-13 loss at Indianapolis.

    Analysis: Roberts managed eight-plus total tackles for the seventh time this season through 14 games, aided in part by the Colts' 34 rushing attempts Saturday. The Bengals aren't likely to run quite as much in Week 16, but Roberts is still on the IDP radar.

    Roberts recorded six tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: Roberts once again led the team in tackles in Week 12, though the numbers weren't as eye-popping. With Cole Holcomb (knee) and Kwon Alexander (Achilles) both done for the season, the interior linebacker has a clear path to a productive conclusion to the 2023 campaign.

    Analysis: Roberts was on the field for only 51 percent of defensive snaps, yet he still managed to lead the Steelers in tackles. It was his highest number of stops since Week 4.

    Analysis: Roberts played on 40 defensive snaps Sunday, his highest mark since Week 1 against the 49ers when he was on the field for 28 defensive snaps. The fact he was second in tackles despite playing just 58 percent of snaps on defense is impressive. The Steelers will look for that efficiency in Week 5 when they take on the Ravens at home.

    Analysis: Roberts racked up career numbers with the Dolphins last season, surpassing the century mark in terms of tackles while notching 4.5 sacks in 17 regular-season games. Heading into his age-29 season, Roberts seems like an ideal fit to shore up a key role in Pittsburgh's linebacker corps.

  • Career numbers in contract year

    Roberts racked up 102 tackles (68 solo) and 4.5 sacks across 17 regular-season games with the Dolphins in 2022.

    Analysis: Roberts eclipsed 100 tackles for the first time in his career while also notching a new high in terms of sacks while on a one-year deal with Miami in 2022, so it's conceivable that new defensive coordinator Vic Fangio could want him back for 2023. The 28-year-old has spent the last three seasons with the Dolphins and would bring some veteran consistency to a relatively young linebacker corps if he's re-signed.

  • Notches another sack Week 17

    Roberts posted 10 tackles (seven solo), including one sack, in Sunday's 23-21 defeat versus New England.

    Analysis: Roberts matched his season high in tackles while also logging his second sack in as many games. This sack also ended the Patriots first drive of the second quarter, as the 28-year-old linebacker brought down quarterback Mac Jones for a 12-yard loss on third down. Roberts also logged one of his seven solo tackles on special teams, and he has played 113 of his 729 total snaps in this phase over 16 games.

    Analysis: Although Roberts played just 49 percent of Miami's defensive snaps in Week 12, he led his club in stops for the third consecutive game. The 28-year-old linebacker continues to display solid productivity in his rotational role, and he'll look to do so again this weekend versus the 49ers.

    Roberts recorded seven tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 39-17 win over the Browns.

    Analysis: Roberts finished as the Dolphins' leading tackle despite playing just a season-low 40 percent of the team's defensive snaps. The 28-year-old inside linebacker has now logged 372 of his 433 total snaps on defense this season, so it's likely his limited playing time Sunday was largely due to the blowout nature of this win. Roberts should continue to serve as one of Miami's top tacklers against the Texans following the team's Week 11 bye.

    Roberts had seven tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 30-28 loss to the Falcons.

    Analysis: Roberts racked up production as a run stopper versus Atlanta, but he still sits at just 31 tackles (19 solo) through seven games. Though he does also offer modest upside in coverage, Roberts lacks the sort of ceiling that fantasy managers covet in IDP formats. He can best be considered a fill-in fantasy option.

  • First career interception

    Roberts recorded three tackles and one interception in Sunday's Week 3 loss to the Raiders.

    Analysis: Roberts recorded his first-career interception midway through the first quarter and then returned the pick for an 85-yard touchdown. The rest of his performance wasn't as positive, as he committed an unnecessary roughness penalty that got Las Vegas away from its own goal line on a drive that ultimately ended in a touchdown late in the second quarter. Roberts has been a part-time player on defense for the Dolphins, and he has 10 total tackles in three games this season.

    Roberts (knee) wasn't an active participant during mandatory minicamp, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Roberts is still on the mend after undergoing offseason surgery, and he remains without a concrete timetable for a return. As Jackson points out, Roberts is expected to make the roster, but the Dolphins could turn elsewhere if he isn't at full strength by August.

  • Recovering from surgery

    Roberts declined to say Monday whether he will fully recover from his recent knee surgery by Week 1, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Roberts' recovery timetable remains undisclosed. He appears to have undergone offseason surgery to address the injury that caused him to be carted off the field during Miami's regular-season finale in 2020. When healthy, Roberts will play a rotational role in the Dolphins' linebacker corps.

  • Staying in Miami

    The Dolphins re-signed Roberts (knee) on Wednesday.

    Analysis: After being carted off the field with a knee injury in Week 16, Roberts was forced to miss the Dolphins' final contest of 2020. Prior to his injury, Roberts recorded 61 tackles (29 solo), 1.5 sacks and a forced fumble in 13 games. Assuming no lingering issues with his knee, the 26-year-old will likely continue his prominent role in Miami's linebacker corps.

  • Placed on IR

    The Dolphins placed Roberts (knee) on injured reserve Thursday.

    Analysis: Roberts isn't expected to return this season, even in the event that the Dolphins secure a playoff berth and go on a run. Kamu Grugier-Hill will be a candidate to see a sharp uptick in defensive snaps with Roberts out.

    Roberts (knee) is expected to miss the remainder of the 2020 season, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN reports.

  • Out with knee injury

    Roberts won't return to Saturday's game against the Raiders due to a knee injury.

    Analysis: The 26-year-old sustained the injury during the second half and was carted off the field. Kamu Grugier-Hill should see increased defensive snaps with Roberts sidelined.

  • All clear Sunday

    Roberts (chest) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

    Analysis: Roberts missed last week's game against the Chiefs with the chest issue, but after practicing in a limited capacity this week, he gained the medical clearance needed to play. The Dolphins' linebacking corps will be at full strength for the contest, as Roberts, Jerome Baker (back) and Kyle Van Noy (hip) are all active.

  • Status uncertain for Sunday

    Roberts (chest) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Patriots, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Roberts missed last week's loss to the Chiefs. He made progress by staying on the practice field all week, albeit in a limited capacity. Meanwhile, fellow starting linebacker Jerome Baker (knee) is also questionable. Calvin Munson and Kamu Grugier-Hill are the likely replacements if neither Roberts nor Baker can play Sunday.

  • Inactive for Week 14

    Roberts won't play in Sunday's game against the Chiefs due to a chest injury.

    Analysis: Roberts suffered the chest injury in the first quarter of last week's win over the Bengals, and the injury will force him to miss more time. The Miami linebacking corps is a bit thin Sunday, as Kyle Van Noy (hip) joined Roberts on the inactives list. In Roberts' stead, look for an increased role given to Calvin Munson and Kamu Grugier-Hill at inside linebacker for Sunday's game.

  • Questionable for Week 14

    Roberts (chest) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Roberts left in the first quarter of last week's win over the Bengals due to this injury, and it's still unclear if he'll be able to play through it a week later. Calvin Munson would see more snaps at inside linebacker if Roberts is ultimately ruled out.

  • Leaves game Sunday

    Roberts is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bengals due to a chest injury, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: The specifics of the injury remain unclear, but Roberts was forced to leave the game in the first quarter. The Houston product has been an important part of the interior of the defense this season, racking up 50 tackles (25 solo) and 1.5 sacks through 10 games. As long as Roberts is sidelined, look for Calvin Munson and Kamu Grugier-Hill to see an uptick in snaps.

  • Starts week with full practice

    Roberts (elbow) practiced fully Wednesday, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Roberts picked up an elbow injury in last week's win over the Rams, but it's evidently not bothering him any longer. The starting linebacker should be out there Sunday against the Cardinals.

  • Team-high tackles in loss

    Roberts notched nine tackles (six solo) and one forced fumble during Sunday's 31-23 loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Roberts only played 51 percent of defensive snaps, even with Shaq Lawson (hip) being forced out Sunday, but he managed to rack up serviceable IDP numbers even with limited playing time. He also had seven total tackles Week 3, and the Dolphins are set to face a run-heavy opponent at San Francisco in Week 5.

  • Good to go for Thursday's game

    Roberts (concussion) practiced in full for a third straight day Wednesday and doesn't carry an injury designation into Thursday's game against the Jaguars, Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Roberts should be firing on all cylinders in Week 3 after practicing without limitations throughout the week. He seems to be fully over the concussion he suffered in the season opener, which kept him out of last week's loss to the Bills.

  • Full speed on practice estimate

    Roberts (concussion) was listed as a full participant on Monday's practice estimate, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: While Roberts hasn't cleared the league's concussion protocol, he's on track to play in Thursday's game versus the Jaguars. Expect him to be fully cleared soon, and he should be a starting inside linebacker for the prime-time game.

  • Out Week 2

    Roberts (concussion) was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Roberts played 40 defensive snaps and had four tackles before suffering the concussion in the season opener. The Dolphins have a short turnaround for Week 3 as they play the Jaguars on Thursday, so the 26-year-old won't have much additional time to clear the concussion protocol. Kamu Grugier-Hill is likely to have an increased role alongside Jerome Baker in his absence Week 2.

  • Misses practice with concussion

    Roberts (concussion) missed practice Wednesday, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.

    Analysis: The former Patriots linebacker made four tackles against his old team in Week 1, but it looks like Roberts also picked up an injury in his Dolphins debut. He'll need to ramp up his practice participation to suit up against the Bills come Sunday.

  • Heads to Miami

    Roberts agreed to terms Wednesday on a contract with the Dolphins, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Roberts handled a rotational role in New England's linebacker corps last season. He now joins Kyle Van Noy and Ted Karras as former Patriots set to reunite with ex-New England defensive coordinator Brian Flores in Miami.

  • Scores in loss

    Roberts had a 38-yard touchdown reception and a tackle during Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Roberts tied up the score late in the third quarter, slipping out from his fullback spot and into the flat for a 38-yard catch-and-run. It was both his first career reception and touchdown. His value as a FB/LB is low heading into the Wild Card round against Tennessee, but don't be surprised if a Patriots team struggling to find rhythm on offense resorts to some further trickery.

  • Garners sack in win

    Roberts finished Sunday's 17-10 win over the Eagles with a sack.

    Analysis: Roberts' first sack of 2019 came in a low-scoring road affair in Philadelphia. The 25-year-old linebacker has recorded 21 tackles through 10 games, placing his value in IDP formats on the low end of the spectrum.
