News

  • Placed on IR

    Croom has been placed on injured reserve with a hamstring injury, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: Croom could never get fully healthy this summer, and by the time he was even close, two rookies had passed him on the depth chart. This allows the Bills to keep him in the mix until next season, unless he pushes for an injury settlement with the team once healthy.

  • Moving to IR?

    The Bills plan on moving Croom to injured reserve with a hand injury Sunday, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, per a source.

    Analysis: Croom was unlikely to make the team anyway, so the hand injury allows the team to stash him away yet still keep him in the mix, though the tight end could always seek an injury settlement with the Bills. Rapoport astutely mentions the maneuver will allow Buffalo to bring back veteran safety Kurt Coleman after the team cut him Saturday.

  • On track for Thursday

    Croom (hamstring) expects to suit up during Thursday's preseason finale against the Vikings, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Croom has been sidelined throughout training camp due to a hamstring injury initially suffered in late May and now appears on track to make his preseason debut. He's working to carve out a depth role in Buffalo's crowded tight end room, which includes Tyler Kroft (foot), Dawson Knox, Lee Smith and Tommy Sweeney.

  • Looking to play Friday

    Croom is in uniform and warming up prior to Friday's preseason matchup with the Lions, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: It was originally reported that Croom would sit out of Friday's contest, but now it seems that he'll attempt to return from the hamstring issue that plagued him since late May. The 25-year-old currently sits behind a handful of other tight ends on Buffalo's depth chart, including Dawson Knox, who is also looking to play Friday and finally overcome a hamstring issue.

  • Expected out Friday

    Croom (hamstring) is slated to sit out Friday's preseason game against the Lions, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: Croom continues to battle a hamstring issue as roster cuts begin to loom. However, considering he hauled in 22 passes for 259 yards and a touchdown last season and Tyler Kroft's status for the opener remains unclear, Croom may still be in decent shape to earn a 53-man roster spot, though he may need to show full health and finish up the preseason strong to cement that spot.

  • Working during individual drills

    Croom (hamstring) took part in individual drills during practice Monday, Heather Prusak of WGRZ 2 reports.

    Analysis: Croom ran routes and did one-versus-one work as he continues on the comeback trail from the hamstring injury. The 25-year-old has been dealing with the hamstring issue since OTAs in June, but he appears to be nearing a return to full health.

  • Still limited

    Croom (hamstring) put in a workout Friday, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Croom returned to practice in a limited fashion last Friday and has yet to return to full health. Tyler Kroft (broken foot) and Dawson Knox (hamstring) both remain sidelined, so Croom has the opportunity to earn a roster spot if he's able to return to practice without limitations in the near future.

  • Ready to return

    Croom (hamstring) will return to practice on a limited basis Friday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: Croom has been out since May, so this wasn't some mild hamstring issue. He has a lot of ground to make up, perhaps even to land a roster spot, after missing summer practices to this date, though he'll beat Tyler Kroft (broken foot) and Dawson Knox (hamstring) back to the field.

  • Hamstring issue persists

    Croom remains out with a hamstring injury with no firm timetable for a return, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: Croom is probably on the roster bubble, and while a player can't force a return from something as problematic as a hamstring injury, he might have to show the Bills something before the the final cutdown takes place.

  • Hamstring injury persists

    Croom is sitting out of Friday's practice due to a hamstring injury, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Croom missed time earlier this summer due to a hamstring injury, which is really starting to cost him an opportunity for depth chart positioning in the wake of starter Tyler Kroft's broken foot. With rookie Dawson Knox working with the starters and a few other tight ends in camp, Croom's roster spot could be in jeopardy unless he gets healthy and starts to make his mark in training camp.

  • Needs to get healthy

    Although Croom's hamstring injury isn't expected to be a long-term concern, he's missed opportunities to establish himself in the pecking order following a foot injury to starter Tyler Kroft, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.

    Analysis: At one point in February, Croom was the only tight end under contract. However, the team subsequently signed Kroft as the likely starter and also inked veteran blocking specialist Lee Smith. Then, the Bills drafted Dawson Knox and Tommy Sweeney in the third and seventh rounds, respectively, in last April's draft. Even coach Sean McDermott -- who sang Croom's praises during a 22/259/1 season in 2018 -- admitted some of those opportunities are starting to go to others. If the season started…read more

  • More missed practice time

    Croom (hamstring) hasn't participated in minicamp practices yet this week, Joe Buscaglia of WKBW.com reports.

    Analysis: The Bills haven't indicated Croom's absence is anything serious. While missed practice time this time of year isn't normally a huge concern, Croom's role for Week 1 could go from anywhere to starting tight end -- projected No. 1 Tyler Kroft has a broken foot -- to not even making the team. With that in mind, Croom's participation and performance this summer is crucial toward his future.

  • Still not practicing

    Croom (hamstring) did not participate in practice Tuesday, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.

    Analysis: The severity of Croom's injury is still unknown, but the tight end has not been able to take the practice field in a week. He should continue to be viewed as week-to-week until the team provides the next update on his status.

  • Nursing hamstring injury

    Croom did not participate in OTAs on Tuesday due to a hamstring injury, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.

    Analysis: The severity or nature of Croom's injury are unknown, so it's unclear how long he will be sidelined for. Croom is currently fighting for a spot on the Bills' final roster after the team acquired several tight ends over the last couple of months, and with Tyler Kroft (foot) out at least three months, a window had opened for Croom to make his presence felt this summer.

  • Important summer ahead

    Croom's teammate Tyler Kroft broke his foot during Monday's OTA session and will be sidelined for 3-to-4 months following surgery.

    Analysis: Croom actually entered the offseason as the Bills' top tight end, though you could also say he was the only tight end under contract. Then the Bills beefed up their corps by signing Kroft and Lee Smith in free agency, while drafting Dawson Knox in the third round. That may have bumped Croom -- who finished 2018 with a 22/259/1 line -- all the way to fourth, though with Kroft's injury being significant, he'll have extra chances to stake his claim toward meaningful playing time, or at least a…read more

  • Looking at roster battle

    Croom likely needs to battle for a roster spot this summer, Mike Rodak of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Charles Clay signed with Arizona after he was released in February, but the Bills have since added Tyler Kroft, Lee Smith, Jake Fisher, third-round pick Dawson Knox and seventh-round pick Tommy Sweeney. Given the resources invested in each player, it's safe to assume the 53-man roster will include Kroft, Knox and probably Smith, potentially leaving the other three players to compete for a single spot. The 25-year-old Croom showed some potential as a pass catcher last season, bringing in 22 of…read more

  • Competition looms

    Croom, who had been the only tight end under contract for the Bills entering the start of the new league year, will now have competition for the starting job after the team signed Tyler Kroft on Wednesday.

    Analysis: The Bills are compensating Kroft handsomely, but he doesn't have the pedigree to simply run away with the competition. Though Kroft had a 42-404-7 season in 2017 surrounded by three other seasons with very limited production, his arrival is nonetheless a severe hit to Croom's 2019 value. The Bills still like Croom's upside, as he's still learning the position after playing wideout during his college days at Tennessee. At best, Croom will be allowed to compete for the starting job, and there's…read more

  • Status strengthened

    The Bills released Charles Clay on Friday, leaving Croom as the team's only tight end currently under contract.

    Analysis: Logan Thomas is a restricted free agent and could be brought back, while the Bills have a ton of cap room this offseason and a slew of draft picks to invest in tight end. While there will certainly be competition coming in, Croom -- who caught 22 balls on 35 targets for 259 yards and one touchdown in 2018 (15 games) -- is clearly going to get a chance to piggyback off a somewhat successful first pro season. While Croom has yet to wow, the upside is there as a former wide receiver still…read more

  • Part of the fray

    Croom finished the 2018 season with 22 catches on 35 targets for 259 yards and one touchdown in 15 games.

    Analysis: While that wasn't exactly setting the world on fire, Croom did top starter Charles Clay and fellow backup tight end Logan Thomas in catches, yards and touchdowns. Clay has a better chance of being let go versus sticking with the team for one more high-priced season, so more opportunity could open up for Croom. However, the Bills have tons of cap room and extra draft picks, so the odds are good they'll be bolstering the tight end position this offseason, perhaps as a high priority after years of…read more

  • Racks up 55 yards as starter

    Croom caught four of six targets for 55 yards and lost a fumble in Sunday's 24-12 loss to New England.

    Analysis: Croom was Buffalo's second-leading receiver behind Zay Jones, who benefited from a meaningless 31-yard touchdown with 1:08 remaining. Buffalo's new starting tight end is unlikely to gain much relevance at the position considering this is his first time exceeding 36 yards, but desperate deep-leaguers could do worse than Croom against the Dolphins in Week 17.

  • Listed as starter

    Croom is listed as the starting tight end Sunday against New England, as Charles Clay will be a healthy scratch for the matchup.

    Analysis: Croom will join Logan Thomas as the only active tight ends on the roster, which according to Joe Buscaglia of WKBW.com, had apparently been something in the works for some time. Neither is particularly encouraging from a fantasy perspective, however. Croom has the lone touchdown of the duo and more total receiving yards on the year, but the pair has surpassed 40 yards through the air in a single game just once this season (Thomas back in Week 9).

  • Full participant Wednesday

    Croom (groin) practiced in full Wednesday.

    Analysis: Croom was unable to practice at all and ultimately didn't play Week 14 against the Dolphins. Starting the week with a full practice is a good sign, though Croom's role in the offense is minimal and none of the Buffalo tight ends are fantasy worthy this season.

  • Not playing Week 14

    Croom (groin) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets.

    Analysis: Listed as doubtful heading into the weekend after failing to practice this week, Croom's unavailability hardly comes as a surprise. With the Tennessee product sitting out, Logan Thomas checks in as the clear No. 2 tight end behind starter Charles Clay.

  • Not expected to play

    Croom (groin) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Jets.

    Analysis: Croom hasn't practiced in any capacity this week after failing to draw a target across 25 snaps in the Week 13 loss to the Dolphins. The Bills are left with Charles Clay and Logan Thomas as their only healthy tight ends.

  • Another missed practice

    Croom (groin) did not participate in practice for the second straight day Thursday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: Croom got the nod over fellow backup tight end Logan Thomas (a healthy scratch) last week, so we imagine the team would just flip that scenario if Croom can't rally and practice Friday.

  • Misses practice Wednesday

    Croom (groin) won't practice Wednesday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: Since the Bills' Week 11 bye, Croom has caught two passes for 16 yards off three targets. Fellow tight end Charles Clay missed two games due to a hamstring injury, but has since recovered and helped provide depth for the Bills at tight end. Croom's practice statuses throughout the week should paint a better picture of whether he'll be good to go Sunday.

  • Limited results as co-starter

    Croom caught two of three targets for 16 yards during Sunday's win over Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Charles Clay (hamstring) couldn't play in the contest, so Croom and Logan Thomas split the starting role almost right down the middle, with Croom seeing 29 offensive snaps to Thomas' 31 (no catches, one target). Clay seems ready to return in the next game or two, so the limited window Croom had to do anything noteworthy is about to pass.

  • In line for start Week 12

    Croom is listed as the projected starter at tight end in advance of the Week 12 matchup against Jacksonville.

    Analysis: With Charles Clay (hamstring) once again landing on the inactive list, it will be up to Croom and fellow tight end Logan Thomas to fill the void. This was the same situation in Week 10 against the Jets prior to the team's bye, and while Croom logged a season-high 44 offensive snaps, he was not targeted a single time in the passing game. While Croom should see steady time on the field, there are likely other waiver wire options with more pass-catching upside.

    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Second chance awaits

    Croom's teammate Charles Clay (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against Jacksonville.

    Analysis: That means Croom will likely share starter's time with Logan Thomas, though it's worth noting he didn't do much with the season-high 44 snaps when Clay missed the last game, as Croom wasn't even targeted. You can find a better option, but Croom does have a good set of hands so it'll be worth watching to see if the Bills involve him at least a little more in the passing game with rookie quarterback Josh Allen back at the helm this week.

    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Fails to make most of chance

    Croom was on the field for 60 percent of the offensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Jets but was not targeted in the passing game.

    Analysis: Croom's playing time went way up with Charles Clay shelved with a hamstring injury, but nothing much came of it even with the Bills having their biggest offensive day of the season. The Bills are taking a good look at many of their younger players in what's turned out to be a rebuilding season, so Croom will continue to have a small role even if Clay returns to action following the team's Week 11 bye. That role won't yield more than a few sprinkled catches, however.

  • Set for elevated role

    Croom and Logan Thomas will share tight end duties Sunday against the Jets with Charles Clay (hamstring) out of the lineup, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: Clay's practice reps have been impacted from time to time this season, but the veteran TE still suited up in each of the Bills' first nine contests before his current bout with a hamstring injury. Before Clay was knocked from this past Sunday's loss to the Bears, Croom and Thomas earned regular snaps weekly, a number that increased to season-highs (42 and 47 on offense, respectively) in that contest. Croom himself caught three of five passes for 36 yards working with Nathan Peterman, so his…read more

  • Best yardage total of 2018

    Croom caught three of five targets for 36 yards during Sunday's loss to the Bears.

    Analysis: Croom ended up seeing the field for a career-high 42 offensive snaps, mostly due to a hamstring injury suffered by starter Charles Clay. Croom and Logan Thomas would be in store for an increased workload should Clay's injury carry over to this week's blockbuster showdown against the Jets, though almost no one in Buffalo's offense carries ownership worthiness right now. Croom does have a good set of hands, and his learning curve is worth tracking, considering the Bills seem likely to move on…read more
