News

  • Let go by Detroit

    The Lions waived Buggs on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Head coach Dan Campbell told reporters Tuesday that Alim McNeill (knee) could come off injured reserve and return to the field this weekend, so the Lions likely parted ways with Buggs to open up a roster spot. The fifth-year pro had spent the last two seasons in Detroit, appearing in 27 games and recording 58 total tackles, including two tackles for loss and 2.0 sacks, while also deflecting three passes.

  • Returns to practice

    Buggs (illness) was listed as a full participant for Monday's walkthrough on the Lions' injury report.

    Analysis: Buggs should be clear for the Lions' Thanksgiving Day game against the Packers after missing their win over the Bears on Sunday. Considering his participation level was just an estimate, his status for Tuesday's practice should offer more clarity on his status.

  • Missing Week 11

    Buggs (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Bears, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The 27-year-old nose tackle did not practice all week as he continues to deal with an illness, so it's no surprise that he'll be inactive for Sunday's contest. With Buggs missing time, Levi Onwuzurike and Brodric Martin should see increased snaps as rotational defensive linemen this weekend.

  • Out for Thursday's game

    Buggs is a healthy scratch for the season opener against the Chiefs on Thursday night.

    Analysis: The Lions' starting nose tackle from 2022 was losing snaps during training camp and the preseason to Brodric Martin and Benito Jones. Buggs signed a two-year, $6 million extension in the offseason after recording 46 tackles and 10 quarterback hits last year.

  • Likely to lose starting role

    Buggs may be a healthy scratch in Thursday's season opener against Kansas City, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.

    Analysis: Buggs has missed recent practice time due to an "illness" while concurrently expressing frustration that he was told by coaches that he wouldn't be active for Week 1. The news comes as a surprise after Buggs was rewarded with a $6 million deal this offseason, presumably with the intention of returning as Detroit's starting nose tackle. Both Brodric Martin and Benito Jones have cut into Buggs' reps during training camp and the preseason.

    Buggs (illness) was waived by the Steelers on Saturday, Teresa Varley of the team's official website reports.

    Analysis: Buggs was already ruled out of Sunday's regular-season finale due to an illness at the time of his release. He was drafted by the team in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL Draft and played in 29 games, including seven starts.

  • Out Sunday

    Buggs (illness) is out Sunday against the Ravens, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Buggs hasn't played since Week 11 after suffering an ankle injury and later being placed on the COVID list. Despite clearing COVID protocols last Saturday, Buggs has not yet returned to practice. In his absence, Henry Mondeaux will likely continue to see extra opportunity.

  • Activated from COVID-19 list

    Buggs (COVID-19) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday.

    Analysis: Buggs has not played since Week 11 after dealing with an ankle injury and being placed on the COVID-19 list, but all these issues are now a thing of the past. The defensive tackle has recorded 17 tackles and one pass defended across 10 appearances in 2021.

  • Placed on reserve/COVID-19 list

    The Steelers placed Buggs (undisclosed) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday.

    Analysis: Buggs missed the last three games with an ankle injury but was a full participant in Wednesday's practice session. However, he'll now be forced to spend some time away from the team. The Steelers didn't indicate whether the 25-year-old has tested positive for COVID-19, but Henry Mondeaux should start Sunday against Kansas City if Buggs is unavailable.

    Buggs (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice session, Dale Lolley of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

    Analysis: Buggs was unavailable for the last three games due to an ankle injury, but it appears as though he'll be back in action Sunday against Kansas City. The 25-year-old has had a rotational role on Pittsburgh's defensive line this year.

  • Won't play Sunday

    Buggs (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Titans, Burt Lauten of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: This will make the fourth straight game that Buggs does not play and the third he has missed due to a lingering ankle injury. The nose tackle has held a rotational role, accumulating 17 tackles on the season and 24 or more defensive snaps in each of the last four games he has appeared in.

  • Questionable for Week 15

    Buggs (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans.

    Analysis: Buggs practiced in full Wednesday only to log no activity Thursday and Friday. That doesn't bode well for his availability Sunday, though the team hasn't ruled out the possibility of him suiting up. Buggs has played a rotational role along Pittsburgh's defensive line this season, racking up 17 total tackles and one pass defended.

  • No limitations Wednesday

    Buggs (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice session, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Buggs was sidelined for the last two games due to an ankle issue, but he should be back in action against the Titans on Sunday. Across the last four games, he's recorded nine tackles (two solo) and a pass defense.

  • Not ready for return

    The Steelers ruled Buggs (ankle) out for Thursday's game against the Vikings.

    Analysis: Buggs will miss his second straight game due to injury and his third in a row overall, with his absence in Week 11 being attributed to a coach's decision. The third-year defensive tackle has totaled 17 tackles (five solo) through his 10 appearances on the season.

  • Inactive for Week 13

    Buggs (ankle) is out for the team's Week 13 contest against the Ravens, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Buggs popped up on the injury report this week with an ankle injury after sitting out of the team's Week 12 matchup versus the Bengals, which was a coach's decision. With Cameron Heyward (illness) questionable to play, the 25-year-old's inability to take the field will likely lead to larger roles for Henry Mondeaux and Montravius Adams.

  • Inactive Sunday

    Buggs (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Bengals, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Buggs was dealing with a hip injury previously, but that does not appear to be the reason he's inactive Sunday. The third-year pro's absence likely will lead to larger roles for Henry Mondeaux and Isaiahh Loudermilk.

  • Manages full practice Wednesday

    Buggs (hip) was able to practice fully for the Steelers on Wednesday, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Analysis: Buggs suffered a hip injury in Week 9 that isn't considered serious, according to coach Mike Tomlin. The defensive tackle logged a full practice Wednesday, which could indicate that he'll be able to suit up against the Lions in Week 10. If Buggs suffers any setbacks, expect Henry Mondeaux to see an increased role Sunday.

  • Listed as first string

    Buggs is listed as the first string nose tackle heading into Sunday's contest against the Bengals, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Tyson Alualu was sent to IR after fracturing his ankle during Week 2, and in a corresponding move, Henry Mondeaux was promoted from the practice squad. However, Buggs will serve as the starter and will likely draw the majority of the snaps at nose tackle during Week 3. The 25-year-old appeared in 10 contests with the Steelers last year and registered 11 tackles.

    Buggs (undisclosed) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.

    Analysis: The 24-year-old landed on the COVID-19 list over the weekend, but he's now cleared league protocols. Buggs should return to his usual role as a rotational nose tackle for Pittsburgh.

  • Lands on COVID-19 list

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

    Analysis: Buggs will be unavailable until he clears the league's virus-related protocols. Henry Mondeaux and Carlos Davis should play increased roles Tuesday against the Ravens with Stephon Tuitt also on the COVID-19 list.

  • Full-go at practice

    Buggs (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Buggs sat out last Sunday's game against the Bengals but appears good to go moving forward. The second-year nose tackle out of Alabama doesn't offer much on the stat sheet as a backup to Tyson Alualu, as he's recorded just 10 tackles (seven solo) through seven games.

  • Won't play Week 10

    Buggs (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Dale Lolley of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

    Analysis: The 24-year-old was considered questionable with the ankle injury but won't be available for Sunday's contest. Buggs made his first career start last week with Tyson Alualu (knee) sidelined, but Alualu is back in action this week and should reclaim his starting role.

  • Handed questionable tag

    Buggs (ankle) is considered questionable for Sunday's game versus the Bengals, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Buggs made his first career start last week with Tyson Alualu (knee) on the sidelines, and he recorded three solo tackles with a 39 percent snap share. Alualu will return this Sunday, so Buggs will revert to a reserve role if he's able to shake off the ankle injury in time. He's on the right track after logging two straight limited practice sessions.

    Published: Fri, Nov 13 at 3:36pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Rare appearance in stats

    Buggs had one tackle (solo) in Sunday's 28-10 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: The rookie finishes the 2019 season with three tackles in nine games. Buggs is part of a strong defensive unit that ranked first in the league in sacks (54) and takeaways (38), but he offers little individual fantasy value heading in to 2020.
