News

  • Finds work in Dallas

    The Cowboys signed Watkins off the Commanders' practice squad Wednesday, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Head coach Mike McCarthy told reporters that Watkins was signed to help replace Jordan Phillips (wrist), who was placed on injured reserve Wednesday. Watkins appeared in two regular-season games with the Cardinals in 2023, recording seven total tackles and one pass defended over 40 defensive snaps.

  • Inks with Rams

    Los Angeles signed Watkins (biceps) to a contract Wednesday.

    Analysis: Watkins spent most of the 2023 season on IR with Arizona due to a biceps injury suffered Week 2. Now healthy, he'll get a chance to spend the rest of training camp competing for a depth role with the Rams.

  • Headed to IR

    The Cardinals placed Watkins (biceps) on injured reserve Saturday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Watkins sustained the injury in Week 2 against the Giants. He signed with the Cardinals in March after spending the past two seasons with the Cowboys. Watkins will now be forced to miss the next four games and will be eligible to return in Week 7 against the Seahawks on Oct. 22, though he could miss more time while recovering from his injury.

  • Set for surgery

    Watkins (biceps) will require surgery to address an injury sustained Week 2 and could miss significant time, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Watkins seems a likely candidate to land on IR, where he could be sidelined more than the requisite minimum of four games. In two appearances for the Chiefs this season, he's racked up seven total tackles, one sack and one pass defensed.

  • Leaves with injury

    Watkins has exited Sunday's contest with the Giants due to an arm injury, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Watkins' absence will leave Arizona depleted on the interior of its defensive line, with Leki Fotu (shoulder) inactive for the contest. The Clemson product had a solo tackle and pass defended before departing.

  • Reaches deal with Cardinals

    Watkins signed with the Cardinals on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Watkins, who has had the offseason to rebound from a calf injury he sustained in the divisional round of the playoffs, is a six-year veteran and has played for both the Texans and Cowboys. Last year in Dallas, he tallied 26 total tackles across 12 games and 270 defensive snaps. He figures to occupy a rotational role along the defensive line with his new team.

  • Sustains calf injury

    Watkins has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's divisional-round game against the 49ers due to a calf injury, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Watkins went down in the first half of Sunday's matchup due to his calf injury, and he'll be unavailable to close out the game. Prior to his departure, he recorded a solo tackle. It's unclear whether the 2017 fourth-rounder would be available for next Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Eagles if Dallas advances.

  • Dropped at deadline day

    Watkins was released by the Cowboys on Tuesday, Rob Phillips of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Watkins was let go as part of the team's final roster trimming Tuesday. The 28-year-old defensive tackle re-signed with Dallas in March after recording 32 tackles, one sack and one interception over 15 games (14 starts) in 2022. Watkins, who primarily played in a reserve role (42 games, 18 starts) over the first four years of his career with Houston, will now look to land a contract elsewhere heading into the regular season.

  • Re-signs with Dallas

    Watkins signed a one-year contract with Dallas on Wednesday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Watkins started 14 games for the Cowboys in 2021 and registered 32 tackles, one sack and one interception, which he returned for a touchdown. The 2017 fourth-round pick should once again be a key piece for Dallas' defense in 2022.

  • Set to return

    Watkins (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Watkins has missed each of the team's last two games with a knee injury. However, he logged three limited practices leading up to Sunday's contest and will now be set to return. In two games this season, Watkins has recorded four tackles.

  • May return this week

    Watkins (knee) has a chance to play Sunday against the Giants, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Watkins was unable to practice at all leading up to Week 4, so it's far from a sure thing that he will be active for Week 5. The 27-year-old played 30-plus snaps in both games he was healthy this season, but he may be on a playing time restriction when he returns.

  • Missing second straight game

    Watkins (knee) won't play in Sunday's game against the Panthers, Jon Mochota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Watkins was unable to practice throughout the week, suggesting the knee sprain he sustained in Week 2 is still bothering him. A Week 5 return against the Giants is far from guaranteed for the starting defensive tackle.

  • Won't play Monday

    Watkins (knee) is ruled out for Monday's game against the Eagles, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Watkins will miss his first game of the season due to a knee sprain. The 27-year-old's next opportunity to suit up will come Oct. 3 versus the Panthers, though the Cowboys haven't officially disclosed his recovery timetable.

  • Dealing with knee sprain

    Coach Mike McCarthy said Monday that Watkins is dealing with a knee sprain, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

    Analysis: Watkins registered three tackles during Sunday's win over the Chargers, but he appears to have tweaked his knee during the game. The Cowboys don't play until Monday, so the 27-year-old will have an extra day to rest his knee before Dallas resumes practicing Thursday.

  • Returns from COVID list

    Watkins (undisclosed) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Watkins landed on the COVID list Aug. 21 prior to the third preseason contest, and he'll rejoin the active roster after clearing the health and safety protocols. The 27-year-old signed with the Cowboys in the spring after recording 27 tackles and two sacks in 16 games (11 starts) for the Texans last year.

  • Placed in COVID protocols

    The Cowboys placed Watkins in COVID-19 protocols, causing him to miss Saturday's preseason contest against the Texans, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Coach Mike McCarthy said Watkins and defensive coordinator Dan Quinn were placed in protocols 90 minutes before kickoff. Watkins was signed by the Cowboys this offseason and is slated to play a prominent role on the interior of their defensive line this year. The 2017 fourth-round pick posted a career-high 27 tackles in 11 starts for the Texans during the 2020 campaign.

  • Heading to Dallas

    Watkins signed a deal with the Cowboys on Thursday, Rob Phillips of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Watkins, who spent the past four seasons with the Texans, is coming off a 2020 campaign in which he recorded a career-high 27 tackles, two sacks and three pass breakups, while making 11 starts. The 27-year-old can play either defensive end or on the inside, with Phillips noting that the 2017 fourth-rounder could be a better fit at tackle in defensive coordinator Dan Quinn's 4-3 system.

  • Starts in place of Omenihu

    Watkins recorded two tackles and a pass defensed in Sunday's 10-7 loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: Watkins started at defensive end in place of the injured Charles Omenihu (leg) and played a season-high 53 snaps. The pass breakup was the second straight week he's deflected a throw.

  • Records first sack

    Watkins had two tackles and one sack in Sunday's 28-21 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: Watkins is part of a rotation at defensive end along with Charles Omenihu and P.J. Hall. Both Watkins and Omenihu recorded sacks Sunday. Watkins, a four-year veteran out of Clemson, had a season-high 34 snaps against Pittsburgh.

  • Sets new career high in stops

    Watkins recorded a career-high 23 tackles along with one sack, one pass breakup and a fumble recovery across 10 regular-season games in 2019.

    Analysis: Watkins, a fourth-round draft pick in 2017, has provided depth along the defensive line since arriving in Houston. He was part of the crew that helped fill in when defensive end J.J. Watt was lost to a pectoral injury mid-season. This was the third time in four seasons Watt has missed significant time, so having an experienced hand with knowledge of the system has value. As such, Watkins is expected to remain with the team in 2020 for the final season of his four-year rookie deal.

  • Cleared to play Sunday

    Watkins (hamstring) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Tennessee.

    Analysis: Watkins practiced Wednesday and Thursday on a limited basis before returning in full to close out the week. Accordingly, he's good to go against the Titans.

  • Out for Week 14

    Watkins (hamstring) is officially inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Broncos.

    Analysis: Watkins turned in limited practice availability all week, and the issue will force him to miss a second straight game. In his stead, look for Charles Omenihu and Joel Heath to see an uptick in depth defensive line snaps for the contest.

    Published: Sun, Dec 8 at 9:30am by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Unsure to play Week 14

    Watkins (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Denver.

    Analysis: Watkins turned in limited practices each day this week. He has yet to log more than 28 snaps in any of his seven games this season.

  • Out for Week 13

    Watkins (hamstring) is out for Sunday night's game against the Patriots, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Watkins was unable to practice at all during the week. Charles Omenihu is in line for extra playing time with Angelo Blackson (shoulder) also banged up.

  • Condition improving

    Watkins (hamstring) said his injury is not as bad as first feared, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Watkins was removed from last Thursday's win over the Colts. "I'm doing good," Watkins said. "It was definitely a lot worse during the game. I just freaked myself out a little more than what it actually was. Hopefully, I'll be out there [Sunday against New England]." Watkins, who helps fill in for the injured J.J. Watt (pectoral), has 13 tackles and one sack in seven games played.

  • Leaves with hamstring injury

    Watkins was forced out of Thursday's game against the Colts with a hamstring injury.

    Analysis: The third-year defensive end left during the fourth quarter, and it's unlikely he returns. Watkins notched a season-high four tackles before exiting the contest.

    Published: Thu, Nov 21 at 8:10pm by Rotowire.com

  • Helps fill in for Watt

    Watkins had two tackles, a sack and a quarterback hit in Sunday's 26-3 win over Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Watkins has been a depth piece on the defensive line since joining the Texans in 2017, but his role will grow with with J.J. Watt (pectoral) on the shelf for the rest of the season. The 25-year-old will be part of a crew that tries to replace Watt's production.
