News

  • Dropped by Saints

    The Saints released Rader (undisclosed) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Analysis: Rader was set to miss all of the 2024 season after landing on IR with an undisclosed injury in late August, but the Youngstown State product reached an injury settlement with the Saints on Monday that allows him to sign elsewhere once he's fully recovered from his injury.

  • Placed on IR

    Rader (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve by the Saints on Tuesday.

    Analysis: Rader is now set to miss the entirety of the 2024 season while nursing an undisclosed injury that he suffered during the preseason. If the tight end reaches an injury settlement with New Orleans, he'll be free to sign and play elsewhere. Otherwise, he'll now shift his focus to being ready to go for 2025.

  • Getting deal from New Orleans

    The Saints are set to sign Rader, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Rader played in 14 regular-season games with Tennessee last season, logging one catch (on three targets) for six yards over 140 offensive snaps. The tight end out of Youngstown State also logged 219 snaps on special teams. Rader will compete for a depth role with the Saints among a tight-end group that is headed by Juwan Johnson (foot), Taysom Hill and Foster Moreau. New Orleans also signed Mason Fairchild -- another tight end -- on Friday.

  • Active for season finale

    Rader (hip) is not among Tennessee's inactives for Sunday's Week 18 matchup against Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Rader was questionable coming into Sunday due to a hip injury, but his outlook was optimistic after he logged a full practice session Friday. The fourth-year tight end will indeed be able to suit up in Tennessee's final game of the 2023 campaign, though he's unlikely to make much of an impact on offense. Rader has drawn only one target, which he caught for a six-yard gain, through 13 contests this season.

  • Still without target on season

    Rader played 10 of 71 snaps on offense but didn't draw a target in Monday's 28-27 win over the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Rader has played in 10 of the Titans' 13 games to date but has yet to draw a target. The 28-year-old depth tight end continues to bring most of his value to the Titans through his contributions on special teams.

  • Joins active roster

    Rader signed with the Titans' active roster from their practice squad Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Rader was elevated from the team's practice squad for Sunday's game against the Bengals, seeing nine snaps on offense, but didn't see a target. His official move to the active roster comes as fellow tight end Josh Whyle continues to deal with an ankle injury.

  • Heads back to practice squad

    Rader reverted to the Titans' practice squad Monday.

    Analysis: Rader was able to get some additional snaps -- nine offensive and 13 on special teams -- when Josh Whyle was ruled out of Sunday's contest against the Bengals with an ankle injury. If Whyle is unable to go for Week 5 against the Colts, Rader would have a good chance of being elevated for the second time this season.

  • Bumps up to active roster

    The Titans elevated Rader to their active roster Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: This is the first time Rader has been called up this season after joining the team's practice squad Aug. 30. If he's active for Sunday's contest against the Bengals, he'll work in a depth tight end role behind Chigoziem Okonkwo, Trevon Wesco and Josh Whyle.

  • Stays in Tennessee

    The Titans signed Rader to their practice squad Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Rader logged one catch for 12 yards in his lone preseason game against the Patriots on Saturday. He rejoins the Titans via their practice squad after being waived by the team on Tuesday.

  • Cut by Tennessee

    The Titans waived Rader on Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official website reports.

    Analysis: Rader was attempting to earn a spot as a depth tight end. However, he was relatively low on the depth chart, so this move was not too surprising. It now remains to be seen if the Titans will offer him a spot on their practice squad.

  • Not involved in passing game

    Rader wasn't targeted across five snaps on offense in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Bengals.

    Analysis: The 6-foot-4, 250-pound tight end has seen action in eight games this season and has logged 79 snaps on offense but has yet to draw a single target. He'll continue to be deployed primarily as a blocker whenever he's on the field.

  • Signed to Tennessee's roster

    Rader was signed to Tennessee's active roster from the practice squad on Thursday, Turron Davenport of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Rader will provide tight end depth for the Titans moving forward, starting with Sunday's game against the Raiders. His usage will likely be limited primarily to special teams with Austin Hooper, Geoff Swaim and Chigoziem Okonkwo all ahead of Rader on the depth chart.

  • Joins Tennessee's practice squad

    The Titans signed Rader to their practice squad Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Rader was waived by the Steelers ahead of Tuesday's 53-man roster deadline and has latched on with the Titans via the practice squad. The 6-foot-4 tight end appeared in six games for Pittsburgh last season, catching two of three targets for eight yards across 36 offensive snaps.

  • Let go by Steelers

    Rader was waived by the Steelers on Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Rader failed to make much of an impact this preseason, catching one pass for six yards while appearing in only one game. The tight end appeared in six games with the Steelers last year, reeling in two passes for eight yards. Rader will likely join the Steelers' practice squad if he clears waivers.

  • Two catches during regular season

    Rader caught two of three targets for eight yards during the 2021 regular season.

    Analysis: Even though Eric Ebron (knee) missed nine games in 2021, Rader saw minimal playing time while appearing in just six games. He's made just seven appearances across his first two professional seasons and seems unlikely to have a massive uptick in production next year.

  • Listed as full participant

    Rader (hip) fully participated in Wednesday's practice session, Dale Lolley of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

    Analysis: Rader was unavailable for Sunday's win over Tennessee due to a hip injury, but he appears to have moved past the issue ahead of Week 16. The tight end has had minimal playing time this year but could see an uptick in playing time Sunday against Kansas City if Pat Freiermuth (concussion) is unavailable.

  • Out against Tennessee

    Rader (hip) is inactive Week 15 against the Titans.

    Analysis: Rader missed Thursday's practice, which was sandwiched between a pair of limited sessions, causing him to enter the week with a questionable tag. The second-year tight end has served only in a depth role this season, so his absence shouldn't have much of an effect on the Pittsburgh offensive game plan.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Rader (hip) is questionable Sunday against the Titans, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Rader was limited in practice Friday with the injury. Filing in at third on the Steelers' tight end positional depth chart, Rader hasn't seen more than one snap on offense in any of his three games this season.

  • Promoted from practice squad

    Rader was promoted to the Steelers' active roster Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Rader was active in Week 9 against the Bears, making a one-yard catch on his only snap. The Youngstown State product has been with the team since 2019, appearing in one other game in 2020. With Eric Ebron (knee) likely to miss extended time, Rader will provide depth behind Pat Freiermuth and Zach Gentry.

  • Reverts to practice squad

    Rader reverted to the Steelers' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's official transactions report.

    Analysis: Rader automatically reverted to Pittsburgh's practice squad after having been elevated for Monday's contest against the Bears. Versus Chicago, in what was his first appearance of the season, Rader secured his only target for a one-yard reception.

  • Elevated by Steelers

    Rader was elevated to the Steelers' active roster ahead of Monday's game against the Bears, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Rader will provide additional depth at tight end in Week 9 since Eric Ebron (hamstring) has been ruled out for a second consecutive game. The 26-year-old made just one appearance with the Steelers last year and failed to secure his lone target.

  • Back via future contract

    The Steelers signed Rader to a reserve/future contract Thursday.

    Analysis: Rader appeared in two games with the Steelers this season, Week 17 and last weekend's wild-card loss to the Browns. The tight end out of Youngstown State will now get an opportunity to continue his development with the organization.

  • Waived by Steelers

    Rader was cut by the Steelers on Monday.

    Analysis: Rader suited up for just one game with the Steelers during the 2020 campaign. After bouncing back and forth between the practice squad and active roster in 2020, Rader will look for a new NFL home ahead of the 2021 season.

  • Elevated from practice squad

    Rader was activated from the Steelers' practice squad Saturday.

    Analysis: After making his NFL debut for Week 17's game against the Browns, Rader played in 12 special teams snaps and saw one target. The Pittsburgh native will have another chance suit up for Sunday's wild-card game against Cleveland.

  • Moves to practice squad

    Rader reverted to the Steelers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Analysis: Rader logged 12 snaps on offense and 12 snaps on special teams in the first NFL action of his career. The Pittsburgh native will reside on the practice squad for the time being, and he could be elevated again if Eric Ebron's stint on the COVID-19 list keeps him out for Sunday's wild-card game against Cleveland.

    Analysis: Rader was promoted from the practice squad in late November, but he never suited up for a game. If he clears waivers, Rader has a good chance to re-sign with Pittsburgh's practice squad.

  • Receives promotion

    The Steelers signed Rader to the active roster Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Rader entered the league as an undrafted free agent in 2018 and has yet to make his NFL debut. He could get a chance this week against the Ravens following news that tight end Zach Gentry was placed on injured reserve with a left knee sprain. However, Vance McDonald (illness) could return to the lineup, which may put Rader in healthy scratch territory.

    Rader signed a reserve/future contract with the Steelers on Monday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

  • Back on open market

    Rader was released by the Steelers on Wednesday.

    Analysis: The decision to release Rader was made in order to make room for J.C. Hassenauer. Rader will now hope to find a home elsewhere, but he may have to wait until next season to do so. The 24-year-old tight end has not appeared in a game in 2019.
