  • Released by Tennessee

    The Texans released White from the practice squad Tuesday, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.

    Analysis: White had not been elevated to the active roster since Week 3. The linebacker has been dealing with a persistent hamstring injury that may have factored into the lack of elevation and eventual release. The seven-year veteran was a Cardinal last season, ending the 2024 campaign with one interception and 137 tackles, including 2.5 sacks and nine tackles for loss. If White can clear waivers, he will become a free agent.

  • Officially placed on IR

    White (biceps) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Darrin Urban of the Cardinals' official website reports.

  • Leads team with nine tackles

    White racked up nine tackles, including one for a loss, during Sunday's 20-16 defeat in Washington.

    Analysis: White was one of four Cardinals to log all 71 defensive snaps along with safety Budda Baker and cornerbacks Marco Wilson and Kei'Trel Clark, but White made the biggest mark in the box score, tackle-wise. Considering he followed coach Jonathan Gannon from Philadelphia to Arizona this offseason, White appears as if he'll be a weekly beneficiary of that relationship. And White is coming off back-to-back 100-tackle campaigns, meaning he's firmly in the IDP conversation in 2023.

He also totaled 2.5 sacks, two interceptions and two forced fumbles in 34 regular-season games during that stretch. With the Cardinals, White should continue to earn regular snaps at inside linebacker alongside Zaven Collins (calf), as Isaiah Simmons' versatility bounces him around the formation.

    White will sign with the Eagles on a one-year deal worth up to $5 million, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Coming off of his best statistical season to date, White was unable to find a big market for his services this offseason. He ultimately has settled on a one-year deal with the Eagles, likely in hopes of finding a longer-term contract that will net him a larger payday next offseason.

    Analysis: White has exploded for 17 tackles and two interceptions over his past two games. The 25-year-old linebacker's increase in production has been mirrored by an increase in playing time. If he continues to play more than 80 percent of the Chargers' defensive snaps, he will likely remain a viable IDP option moving forward.

  • Excellent performance despite loss

    White recorded eight tackles (three solo) including one for a loss, intercepted two passes and picked up a quarterback hit in Sundays 34-6 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: White has been an unsung hero for the Chargers since entering the starting lineup last season, but Sunday's performance was easily the best of his career. Known primarily as a coverage linebacker, the fourth-year player snared his first interceptions since 2019 and also helped tie for the team high in tackles. Don't expect a repeat performance anytime soon, however, as the Chargers' upcoming opponents might call for a bit more run-heavy focus, which could limit White's playing time.

  • Notches first sack

    White had eight tackles (five solo) and a sack during Sunday's 30-24 win at Kansas City.

    Analysis: White had five tackles in each of the first two games of the season -- plus a pair of forced fumbles -- and he finished tied-second on the team in stops Sunday. The 25-year-old played 55 of 79 defense snaps to lead the Chargers' inside linebackers Week 3.

  • Placed on IR

    The Chargers placed White on injured reserve Wednesday with a hamstring injury.

    Analysis: White picked up the injury during last Thursday's win over the Raiders. Though initial reports suggested that the injury wasn't overly serious, White's placement on IR means that he'll miss the remainder of the season. Look for Nick Vigil and B.J. Bello to see increased snaps in White's stead.

  • Dealing with injury

    Coach Anthony Lynn said Friday that White (undisclosed) is injured, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: White appears to have picked up an undisclosed injury during Thursday's 30-27 overtime win over the Raiders, but Lynn said that his issue isn't "too serious." The third-year pro will work to get healthy in time to face the Broncos on Dec. 27.

  • Leads team in tackles

    White recorded seven tackles (five solo) across 43 defensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Falcons.

    Analysis: White missed the past three games after being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, but made an immediate impact in his return to the field -- leading the team in tackles Sunday. Despite missing a handful of contests, White is easily putting up the best numbers of his young career as he now has 75 tackles (48 solo) across 10 games on the year.

  • All clear from COVID-19

    The Chargers activated White from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.

    Analysis: White had resided on the list since Nov. 21, but the linebacker was spotted practicing with the team Wednesday, evidencing he's gained clearance. If White suits up in Sunday's game against the Falcons, he'll likely assume his usual depth role at linebacker.

  • Lands on COVID-19 list

    White (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday.

    Analysis: The move means White either tested positive for the virus or came in close contact of an infected individual. Emeke Egbule or Nick Vigil figures to see increased snaps during his absence.

  • Mundane outing

    White managed just six tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Sunday marked the fourth consecutive game in which White failed to record double-digit tackles, although he was able to pressure Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa on three separate occasions. Despite Kenneth Murray still seeing an overwhelming majority of the snaps at middle linebacker, White has still accumulated more tackles over the past month (23), although neither boasts a particularly impressive figure. Things might look a little better next week with the run-oriented Jets set to face…read more

  • First career sack

    White recorded seven tackles (two solo) and split a sack during Sunday's 39-29 win against the Jaguars.

    Analysis: White managed to split his first career sack with defensive end Isaac Rochell during the fourth quarter. While this was certainly a nice moment, it was surprising to see Kenneth Murray play all 100 percent of the defensive snaps, with White only registering 81, and what's worse, Sunday was the first time White did not register double-digit tackles since Week 2. The two have essentially flip-flopped the respective snap counts throughout the season, although both have been a critical factor in…read more

  • Posts 15 tackles

    White registered 15 tackles (10 solo) in the 30-27 overtime loss to the Saints on Monday.

    Analysis: White currently ranks sixth among linebackers (45) in tackles through five weeks, with Monday's contest amounting to the third straight game with at least 10 tackles for the third-year linebacker. At this point, it's clear White is among the more valuable IDP assets in the league and he could be due for an interception in the near future given his role as an underneath coverage option.

  • Tallies 10 tackles

    White recorded 10 tackles and one pass defended in the team's Week 4 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: White tied for the team lead in tackles, reaching double digits for the second consecutive contest. Unsurprisingly, he was a key piece of the Chargers' defense, remaining on the field for all 76 snaps.

  • Another solid tackling day

    White tallied 11 tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 21-16 loss to the Panthers.

    Analysis: It was White, not Kenneth Murray, who once again played nearly 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps, cementing the coverage linebacker as a clear option for IDP users even in shallower formats. A suspect run defense as of late could force the Chargers to reconfigure their starting lineup, but those changes likely won't impact White, who appears locked in as the team's preferred three-down linebacker.

  • Sees major playing-time boost

    White registered nine (five solo) tackles in Sunday's overtime loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: There was some thought Denzel Perryman would return to IDP prominence after nominal starter, Drue Tranquill (ankle), was placed on season-ending injured reserve last week, but it was White who ended up playing the entirety of Sunday's contest. Considering White's prowess as a pass-coverage linebacker, the playing-time breakdown shouldn't be too surprising, but it does reinforce the fact White should be considered in most deeper IDP formats moving forward.

  • Pushing for larger role

    White recorded 40 tackles (25 solo) and an interception across 16 games in the 2019 season.

    Analysis: After injuries cut White's rookie campaign short, the linebacker put together a relatively impressive second season despite playing less than 400 total snaps. Regarded as one of the more nimble linebackers in the NFL, White's speed was evident, especially when dropping back into coverage, a fact that eventually pushed nominal starting middle linebacker Denzel Perryman into a two-down role. Weighing just 218 pounds, the 23-year-old doesn't have the prototypical size to be an everyday middle…read more
