The New England Patriots have placed K Stephen Gostkowski (quad) on injured reserve. It had been speculated Gostkowski would only miss a few weeks, but the team revealed Gostkowski suffered a torn quad during last Sunday’s game against Cleveland. The Patriots signed Shayne Graham on Tuesday to replace Gostkowski.

The Miami Dolphins have signed CB Al Harris to a one-year contract and waived CB Jason Allen. Allen started during most of the first half of the season, but recently lost his job to Sean Smith. Harris was a dominant press-corner with the Packers before tearing several ligaments in his knee and his left hamstring [...]

The New England Patriots have signed K Shayne Graham. Graham will take over for Stephen Gostkowski (quad), who is expected to miss a few weeks. Graham will be a solid option in fantasy leagues in the meantime.

The Buffalo Bills have placed WR Roscoe Parrish (wrist) and LB Andra Davis (shoulder) on injured reserve, ending their seasons. Parrish suffered a broken wrist during Sunday’s loss to Chicago. He had seen an increased role this season as a weapon out of the slot after being under-utilized in ’09. Davis suffered a torn labrum [...]

New England Patriots K Stephen Gostkowski will likely miss multiple weeks with a quad injury, according to Michael Giardi of CSN New England. Gostkowski is one of the more reliable fantasy kickers around, although his chances have been limited due to the Patriots’ new scaled-back offense. He’s not worth hanging on to at this point.

The Buffalo Bills have been awarded LB Shawne Merriman off waivers from the San Diego Chargers. So let’s get this straight; the Bills switch from a 3-4 defense to a 4-3 two weeks ago, make 2009 first-round pick OLB Aaron Maybin a healthy scratch the last two weeks, then acquire Merriman, who is a 3-4 [...]

New England Patriots LG Logan Mankins will end his holdout and report to the team on Tuesday, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Mankins is in the same situation as Vincent Jackson, needing to play in six games during the 2010 season to gain another year toward unrestricted free agency. His return should boost the Patriots [...]

The Buffalo Bills have switched their defense from a 3-4 back to a 4-3, which they have run the past several seasons. Quite frankly, the Bills don’t have the personnel for either scheme, but they really don’t have 3-4 type defensive players. Paul Posluszny, who played MLB last season in the Bills’ 4-3, will play [...]

The Miami Dolphins have signed WR Davone Bess to a two-year contract extension through the 2012 season. Bess has carved out a niche as the Dolphins slot receiver, and has become an excellent compliment to Brandon Marshall in the Dolphins’ passing game. He is a solid WR3 in PPR leagues.

New York Jets CB Darrelle Revis (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against Denver. Revis is unlikely to play this week, and would likely be limited if he does suit up. He has been unable to shake an early-season hamstring strain, so the Jets would be wise to let him rest and [...]
