  • Chargers' Eli Apple: Able to suit up Saturday

    Apple (hamstring) is active for Saturday's clash against Houston in the wild-card round. Apple played in just four contests during the regular season, and he spent the final six weeks on IR due to a hamstring injury. The veteran cornerback was activated from IR on Friday, and he'll be available to provide depth in the secondary against the Texans. Apple wasn't a big part of the Chargers' defense even when healthy, though, as he logged just 13 defensive snaps over his final three contests.

  • Bengals' Eli Apple: Submits full session Thursday

    Apple (hamstring) was a full participant during Thursday's practice, Chris Roling of Bengals Wire reports. After being sidelined during Monday's game versus the Browns due to a hamstring issue, Apple has since logged a limited session Wednesday and a full practice Thursday, putting him in line to play Week 9 against Carolina. The 27-year-old hasn't particularly stood out in the stat sheet thus far in 2022, as he's totaled 19 tackles and no interceptions across seven games played. Apple is in line to slot back in as the team's No. 1 cornerback when the Bengals host the Panthers on Sunday.

  • Bengals' Eli Apple: Limited Wednesday

    Apple (hamstring) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports. Apple was sidelined during the Bengals' Week 8 loss to the Browns due to a hamstring injury he suffered a week prior. It's encouraging to see the veteran defensive back return to practice, albeit in a limited fashion, but he'll likely have to a log at least one full session if he wants to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Panthers.

  • Bengals' Eli Apple: Doubtful for Monday night

    Apple (hamstring) did not participate at practice Saturday and is listed as doubtful for Monday's game at Cleveland.

    Apple (quad) was not listed on Cincinnati's injury report Wednesday.

The 27-year-old should slot in opposite Chidobe Awuzie as the Bengals' starting cornerbacks versus the Steelers on Sunday.

  • Bengals' Eli Apple: Week 1 start

    Apple will start at corner in place of the injured Trae Waynes (hamstring) in Week 1 against the Vikings, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports. It's interesting to see Apple get the nod ahead of Darius Phillips and Mike Hilton, though Hilton is specifically tasked to be a slot corner.

  • Panthers' Eli Apple: Questionable for Sunday

    Apple (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game at New Orleans. The 25-year-old practiced as a full participant all week, so it's a bit of a surprise to see him carry an injury designation into the weekend. Assuming he plays, Apple should have an increased role with Rasul Douglas on the COVID-19 list.

  • Panthers' Eli Apple: Unavailable against Bears

    Apple (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Bears, Myles Simmons of the Panthers' official site reports. Apple has battled a myriad of injuries, as he'll sit out for the fifth time this season due to a hamstring issue. In the one game he did suit up, the 25-year-old cornerback played exclusively on special teams, so his absence will mainly affect the team's secondary depth.

  • Panthers' Eli Apple: Practices without limitations

    Apple (hamstring) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Alaina Getzenberg of The Charlotte Observer reports. Apple couldn't suit up against Atlanta in Week 5 due to a lingering hamstring injury, but after having been limited Wednesday, it now looks as though he's back to full health. Barring any setbacks, he'll provide a boost to Carolina's secondary when the team faces the Bears on Sunday.

  • Panthers' Eli Apple: Back at practice

    Apple (ankle) will practice Wednesday, Myles Simmons of the Panthers' official site reports. Apple's return to practice signifies the start of a 21-day window for the Panthers to add him to the active roster, or to allow him to revert to IR for the rest of the season. Once he's back to full health, Apple is expected to push for one of Carolina's starting cornerback positions.

  • Panthers' Eli Apple: Finds home in Carolina

    Apple agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the Panthers on Thursday. Apple previously agreed to sign with the Raiders in March, but after having been unable to finalize a deal in Las Vegas, the veteran corner will now link up with the Panthers. The 24-year-old fills a key void on Carolina's roster, as the team didn't previously have much in the way of proven options behind Donte Jackson. As such, Apple looks primed to play a starting role at cornerback for new defensive coordinator Phil Snow. The former Saint will remain in the NFC South.

  • Eli Apple: Deal with Raiders falls through

    Apple and the Raiders were unable to finalize a contract Thursday, making him an unrestricted free agent, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Apple is coming off a career-best year with New Orleans, having notched 58 tackles (53 solo), four defended passes and one forced fumble across 15 contests. With Apple now set to look for an opportunity elsewhere in the league, the Raiders could be motivated to sign another veteran cornerback in free agency or address the position in the 2020 NFL Draft.

  • Saints' Eli Apple: Lands on IR

    The Saints have placed Apple (ankle) on injured reserve ahead of Sunday's wild-card game against the Vikings, Paul Schwartz of the New York Post reports. Apple's postseason has come to a premature end. He sustained the injury in Week 16, and the severity is too much to overcome. Look for Janoris Jenkins and P.J. Williams to see increased roles as a result of his absence.
