News

  • Joins Las Vegas

    Trufant signed a deal to join the Raiders on Wednesday.

    Analysis: Trufant has reached a deal to join his fifth NFL team for the 2021-22 season. The cornerback has spent time playing for the Falcons, Lions, Bears and, most recently, the Saints. The former 22nd overall pick of the 2013 NFL Draft will look to provide support to a shaky Raiders' secondary.

  • Cut by New Orleans

    Trufant was released by the Saints on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Trufant joined the Saints ahead of Week 1 and played 53 offensive snaps across the first two weeks of the season, but he didn't see the field over the past three games. The 31-year-old spent the offseason with the Bears before being let go in late August while away from the team for personal reasons.

  • Good to go for Week 1

    Trufant (groin) isn't listed on the Saints' injury report Wednesday.

    Analysis: Trufant had a busy offseason as he signed with Chicago and then was cut after missing a few weeks of training camp dealing with a personal matter. Now with the Saints, the cornerback's groin injury seems to have cleared up, as Trufant will be available for Sunday's opener against the Packers.

  • Signs with New Orleans

    Trufant (groin) worked out for the Saints on Monday and is expected to be signed, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Trufant was cut by Chicago after he missed multiple weeks of training camp to deal with the death of his father. The Saints are in need of help opposite of Marshon Lattimore as Ken Crawley (undisclosed) is uncertain for Week 1, and Brian Poole was already placed on IR. Trufant was also dealing with a groin injury during his stint with the Bears, but the status of his injury his unknown.

  • Cut by Chicago

    Trufant (groin/personal) was released by the Bears on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Trufant suffered a groin injury early in camp and stepped away from the team Aug. 13 due to the death of his father, and the Bears opted to part ways, given he hadn't returned to camp over the past couple weeks. The 30-year-old still wants to play this season, though it's unclear when he may be ready to take the field following the absence.

  • Nursing groin injury

    Trufant (groin) is not practicing Friday, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.

    Analysis: Trufant signed a one-year deal with the Bears back in March and could be pegged for a starting role, so it makes sense for the team to take a cautious approach to his health. A hamstring injury limited Trufant during much of the 2020 season, during which he could suit up for only six games with the Lions.

  • Replacing Fuller in Chicago

    Trufant (hamstring) is signing a one-year contract with the Bears, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The veteran corner could be a replacement for Kyle Fuller, who reportedly will be traded or released in the coming days. Trufant was a 16-game starter in four of his first six NFL seasons, but he managed only nine appearances his final year (2019) in Atlanta and six last year in Detroit. The 30-year-old struggled with a hamstring injury throughout most of the 2020 campaign.

  • Officially let go

    The Lions released Trufant (hamstring) on Wednesday.

    Analysis: The move was expected, and the Lions made it official when the new league year began Wednesday. The 30-year-old cornerback fought through a hamstring injury in 2020, and he struggled when he was on the field, finishing as the team's worst-graded cornerback, per Pro Football Focus. The Lions will save $6.1 million in salary-cap space with the transaction.

  • Will be released

    The Lions will release Trufant (hamstring) later this month, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Throughout the past two seasons, Trufant has struggled to stay healthy while suiting up for 15 games in that span. Though the Lions will absorb a $6 million dead cap hit with this release, the move does create $6.1 million in cap space for the franchise. The veteran cornerback will leave Detroit after spending just one season with the team, in which he posted 20 tackles, one sack and a pick in six games.

  • Forgettable year in Motown

    Trufant (hamstring) registered 20 tackles, one sack, four pass breakups and one interception over six games in 2020.

    Analysis: After making a name for himself in Atlanta from 2013 to 2019, Trufant was supposed to be Detroit's replacement for the departed Darius Slay. However, not only did the 2013 first-round pick struggle to stay healthy, Trufant also finished the year as Detroit's worst-graded cornerback, per Pro Football Focus. The Lions now have a tough choice to make regarding the 30-year-old veteran who's recovering from a season-ending hamstring injury, as the team could save $6.5 million by cutting him loose…read more

  • Shifts to IR

    The Lions placed Trufant (hamstring) on injured reserve Wednesday.

    Analysis: Trufant was forced out of Detroit's Week 12 loss to the Texans due to a hamstring injury, and the issue will now force him to sit out at least the next three games. With Jeff Okudah still nursing a shoulder injury, the Lions could struggle to adequately compensate at cornerback across from Justin Coleman.

  • Won't return

    Trufant (hamstring) will not return to the Lions' Week 12 contest against the Texans.

    Analysis: Trufant exited the matchup in the second quarter with a questionable tag. With Trufant ruled out, the Lions are without either of their top corners for the second half matchup against Deshaun Watson.

  • Picks up hamstring injury

    Trufant is questionable to return to Thursday's Week 12 matchup against Texans.

    Analysis: Trufant has missed several games due to hamstring injuries throughout the season. After playing in three consecutive games, it's possible that Trufant aggravated an earlier knock. If he is unable to return, the Lions will be without their top two corners against Deshaun Watson, who has already thrown for a pair of touchdown passes in the first half.

  • Set to suit up Sunday

    Trufant (hamstring) upgraded to a full practice Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Vikings, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: Trufant has battled a hamstring injury all season, but he'll be able to take the field for the third time this season against Minnesota. The veteran cornerback's practice participation has trended up this week, as his full practice Friday comes on the heels of two limited sessions.

  • Inactive against Colts

    Trufant (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Colts.

    Analysis: Trufant has been hampered by a hamstring injury since training camp and will miss his fifth game of the season. The Lions will get Justin Coleman back to take over a starting role alongside Darryl Roberts and Amani Oruwariye, and rookie first-round pick Jeff Okudah should handle an expanded role as well. Trufant was limited in practice all week, so he has a good chance to return Week 9 against the Vikings.

  • Questionable to face Colts

    Trufant (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's contest against Indianapolis, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Analysis: Trufant logged a trio of limited practices this week, an indication that he should have a chance to retake the field Sunday. The veteran cornerback has appeared in only two games this season in his inaugural campaign with the Lions.

  • Limited during Thursday's session

    Trufant (hamstring) was held to limited participation during the Lions' practice session Thursday.

    Analysis: The 30-year-old cornerback has been thus far beleaguered by injury during his debut campaign with the Lions, suiting up for just Weeks 1 and 4 while playing less than 75 percent of the defensive workload in each of those contests. A limited practice at least hints that a return is on the horizon for Trufant, as he was held out of team drills entirely last week. If able to suit up for Week 8, he will face a Colts offense that accumulated 430 passing yards against the Bengals on Oct. 18 before…read more

  • Remains sidelined against Falcons

    Trufant (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

    Analysis: Trufant was unable to practice all week, and he'll sit out against his former team as a result. He'll hope to dress for the first time since Week 4 when the Lions travel to Indianapolis in Week 8.

  • Still not practicing

    Trufant (hamstring) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Trufant has battled hamstring issues all year, missing three of the team's last four games. He's trending in the wrong direction to start the week, but a limited session Thursday would work in his favor. He's looking to get healthy for Sunday's game versus the Falcons, who selected him in the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft.

  • Remains sidelined by hamstring

    Trufant (hamstring) has been ruled out of Sunday's game in Jacksonville, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: Trufant was unable to practice all week, as Detroit's Week 5 bye still didn't provide enough time for the veteran cornerback's hamstring to heal. He'll hope to return to the practice field next week in an attempt to suit up in Atlanta.

  • Sits out Thursday's practice

    Trufant (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant during Thursday's practice session.

    Analysis: The former Falcon has made appearances in two of four games during his debut campaign in Detroit, sitting out Weeks 2 and 3 because of a nagging hamstring issue. Thus far in 2020, Trufant hasn't fared especially well when able to take the field, allowing a 77.8 percent completion rate and a passer rating of 144.0 when targeted in coverage. He remains questionable for a Week 6 matchup against Jacksonville's top-10 pass offense.

  • Hamstring issue not going away

    Trufant (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup against the Saints.

    Analysis: The one-time Pro Bowl cornerback had been held out of Detroit's lineup the preceding two weeks after suffering a hamstring injury in the season opener against Chicago. Trufant was able to log limited practice sessions Thursday and Friday this week before getting the green light from trainers, but his hamstring issue has surfaced once again, causing him to exit his second game of 2020. If Trufant is unable to return, former Jet Darryl Roberts may see an increase to his defensive snap count for…read more

  • Officially active Sunday

    Trufant (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game versus the Saints.

    Analysis: Trufant will return to the lineup after missing the last two games, and he's expected to reclaim a starting cornerback role. The 30-year-old's assignment will be a bit easier with Michael Thomas (ankle) sitting out, so he'll focus on slowing down Emmanuel Sanders and Tre'Quan Smith.

  • Likely to dress Week 4

    Trufant (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Though the Saints won't have star wideout Michael Thomas (ankle) available Week 4, Trufant's availability would still be a major coup for a Detroit defense that has surrendered 7.4 yards per attempt to opposing passers this season. The Lions' top cornerback has been sidelined since the season-opening loss to the Bears with the hamstring injury, but he looks poised to return from a two-game absence after he was able to practice in a limited capacity three times this week.

  • Deemed questionable for Sunday

    Trufant (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Saints, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: Trufant was limited in practice all week, but he also was limited on Thursday and Friday last week before ultimately being inactive. The Lions will monitor his recovery leading up to Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Rookie Jeff Okudah will likely start if Trufant can't go, and Week 3's assignment should be a bit easier with Saints wideout Michael Thomas (ankle) out of the picture.

  • Downgraded to out

    Trufant (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Trufant was listed as doubtful prior to this, so it's not exactly shocking. As a result, rookie cornerback Jeff Okudah will have a difficult task trying to contain All-Pro wideout DeAndre Hopkins in what figures to be a high-octane matchup.

  • Doubtful for trip to Arizona

    Trufant (hamstring) is doubtful for Sunday's game in Arizona, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: Trufant was able to practice on a limited basis Thursday and Friday after missing Wednesday's practice, but he's likely to miss a second consecutive game with the hamstring injury he picked up in Detroit's season opener. If he can't go Sunday, Trufant will set his sights on returning in Week 4 against the Saints.

  • Unavailable against Packers

    Trufant (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Packers, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: Although Trufant apparently avoided a serious hamstring injury, he still couldn't practice all week and will miss the divisional clash. The Lions' secondary will take a major hit against the Packers' passing attack that shredded the Vikings' secondary in Week 1. Darryl Roberts (calf) should enjoy an increase in usage while rookie No. 3 overall pick Jeff Okudah could be thrust into an immediate starting role in Week 2.

  • Unable to practice Wednesday

    Trufant (hamstring) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: Trufant suffered a hamstring injury in Week 1's loss to the Bears, but it was revealed that he may be able to play this Sunday against the Packers. He's trending in the wrong direction to start the week, however, as he'll need to at least log a limited session by Friday to have a chance at playing. If he can't go, rookie Jeff Okudah likely will be locked into a three-down workload.

  • Could play in Week 2

    Trufant avoided a serious hamstring injury and may play in Sunday's game versus the Packers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Soft-tissue injuries have run through the Lions' secondary, as Jeff Okudah (hamstring) was inactive for the season opener and Justin Coleman sustained a hamstring injury in Week 1 that landed him on IR. However, Trufant's prognosis is more encouraging with the possibility of him missing no game time. The Lions will release an injury report Wednesday that should reveal more about his odds of playing Sunday.

  • Exits with hamstring injury

    Trufant suffered a hamstring injury and is questionable to return for the team's Week 1 contest against the Bears, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Trufant was making his debut with the Lions and logged two tackles prior to his exit. If Trufant is unable to return, the team will be dangerously thin at cornerback as Justin Coleman (hamstring) also suffered an injury during the game while Jeff Okudah (hamstring) was unable to suit up.

  • Heads to Detroit

    Trufant (forearm) agreed Wednesday with the Lions on a two-year, $21 million contract, Jordan Schultz of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The deal includes $14 million guaranteed. Trufant's 2019 season was cut short by a fractured forearm, but prior to the injury, he recorded 18 tackles, seven pass breakups and four interceptions over nine games. The Falcons released him Wednesday in a cost-cutting move, but unsurprisingly, Trufant didn't take long to find work elsewhere. Detroit is expected to trade Darius Slay this offseason, so Trufant looks poised to serve as the Lions' top cornerback in 2020.

  • Axed by Atlanta

    The Falcons released Trufant (forearm) on Wednesday.

    Analysis: As expected, the team designated Trufant as a post-June 1 release, a move that frees up $10.75 million in 2020 cap space. It also leaves some dead money on the books for 2021, continuing the Falcons' trend of kicking the can down the road. Trufant finished out 2019 on injured reserve with a broken forearm, but only after he picked off four passes in nine games. The 29-year-old cornerback won't have any trouble finding a starting job with another team.

  • On chopping block

    The Falcons plan to cut Trufant (forearm) later this week, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The 2013 first-round pick has operated as the Falcons' top cornerback throughout his career, notching 79 pass defenses and 13 interceptions in 97 career games (all starts). Now 29 years old, Trufant should find plenty of interest on the open market, assuming there aren't any complications from the fractured forearm that ended his 2019 season in Week 14. Trufant's release could clear up $10.75 million in 2020 cap space if the Falcons designate him as a post-June 1 cut, per overthecap.com.

  • Placed on IR

    Trufant was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: This was expected as Trufant had already been declared out for the season. The 29-year-old finishes the season with 18 tackles (13 solo), four interceptions and seven pass breakups.

  • Done for season

    Coach Dan Quinn confirmed Monday that Trufant (forearm) is out for the season, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Trufant fractured his forearm during Sunday's 40-20 win over the Panthers, and it's no surprise he won't be able to play the final three weeks of the season. The 29-year-old should be moved to injured reserve in the near future. Isaiah Oliver and Kendall Sheffield should work as Atlanta's starting cornerbacks for the remainder of 2019.

  • Fractures forearm in Week 14

    Trufant broke his forearm in Sunday's win over the Panthers and is slated to undergo surgery Monday, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

  • Won't return Sunday

    Trufant (forearm) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Panthers, Jason Butt of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Trufant notched a solo tackle before leaving the contest, and he'll look to get healthy for Week 15's clash against the 49ers. Blidi Wreh-Wilson is expected to see an uptick in usage for the remainder of the contest.

  • Exits game Sunday

    Trufant (forearm) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Carolina, Jason Butt of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The specifics surrounding the injury remain unclear, but he was forced to leave the game just before halftime. As long as Trufant is sidelined, Blidi Wreh-Wilson would be the main beneficiary to see an uptick in snaps.

  • Ready to rock

    Trufant (toe) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's divisional contest against the Panthers, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: Trufant was a limited participant in Friday's practice, as has been routine for him since returning from a four-game absence Week 11. He'll nonetheless play through his lingering toe injury against Carolina on Sunday. The 29-year-old has played at least 95 percent of snaps on defense over the last three weeks.

  • Still managing toe injury

    Trufant was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a toe injury, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Trufant has been listed on the injury report with the toe issue since returning from a four-game absence Week 11, but he hasn't received an injury designation since returning to game action. The 29-year-old played every defensive snap during last Thursday's loss to the Saints, and there's been no indication that his availability for Week 14 is in doubt.

  • Yet another pick in Week 12

    Trufant registered three total tackles and one interception during Sunday's 35-22 loss to Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: The 29-year-old cornerback doesn't appear to be suffering any lingering effects from the toe issue that held him out of four games earlier this season as he's recorded interceptions in back-to-back contests since returning from injury. Week 13 presents a challenging matchup for Atlanta's secondary, however, as opposing quarterback Drew Brees has played extraordinarily clean football of late, with a 76.5 percent completion rate, nine touchdown passes and just two giveaways over the Saints' past…read more

  • Practices without limitations

    Trufant (toe) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: Trufant's return to the field Week 11 was preempted by a four-game absence, but he now appears to have fully recovered from his lingering toe injury. Barring any setbacks, expect the veteran cornerback to draw another start against the Buccaneers on Sunday. Facing off against an aerial attack led by Jameis Winston, who leads the NFL with 18 interceptions, bodes well for Trufant's fantasy prospects in IDP formats Week 12.

  • Key takeaway in return from injury

    Trufant tallied one interception and seven total tackles during Sunday's 29-3 win against the Panthers.

    Analysis: The veteran cornerback came up with a huge interception in the end zone early in the second quarter, sliding in front of D.J. Moore to record the pick and keep Carolina's deficit at 10 points for the time being. During Trufant's return from the toe injury that held him out against the Saints in Week 10, he and Atlanta's secondary were incapable of shutting down the Panthers' top wide receiver Moore -- eight catches for 95 yards -- but generated four combined interceptions and kept Carolina from…read more

  • Ready to rock

    Trufant (toe) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's tilt against the Panthers, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: Trufant was a limited participant in Friday's practice, but it looks like he's ready to retake the field without any restrictions. The 29-year-old's return comes at a good time for Atlanta's secondary, which is short-handed with Kemal Ishmael (concussion) ruled out. Trufant stands to draw his usual start at cornerback across from Isaiah Oliver.

  • Expected to play Week 11

    Trufant (toe) is expected to suit up against the Panthers on Sunday, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Trufant has missed four straight games due to a lingering toe injury. The starting cornerback practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday and Thursday, and he'll have one more opportunity to participate without restrictions Friday. If Trufant is indeed able to retake the field Sunday, his presence will provide a much-needed boost to Atlanta's secondary.

  • Officially listed as questionable

    Trufant (toe) is questionable for Sunday's divisional contest against the Saints, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Coach Dan Quinn called Trufant a game-time decision Friday, according to Jason Butt of The Athletic, so his availability for Week 10 appears truly up in the air. The veteran cornerback's presence would be a huge boost for Atlanta's struggling secondary, especially with a matchup against New Orleans' lethal aerial attack on tap. In the event that Trufant is unable to suit up, Blidi Wreh-Wilson will likely play an expanded role on defense.

  • Upgrades to limited in practice

    Trufant (toe) was limited during Wednesday's practice, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: The veteran cornerback has missed Atlanta's past three games and was held out during Monday's session, but his partial practice involvement indicates that he's trending toward a return in the near future. Trufant is desperately needed in Week 10 with the Falcons' 23rd-ranked pass defense going up against New Orleans' Drew Brees, who is fresh off a 373-yard, three-touchdown outing against the Cardinals in his return from a thumb injury that cost him five games.

  • Held out of Monday's practice

    Trufant (toe) did not participate during Atlanta's practice session Monday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: The veteran cornerback was able to record two interceptions and four pass deflections between Weeks 1 and 5, but he has since been besieged by a toe injury and unable to get back on the field. Trufant's status for Sunday's matchup against New Orleans will become more clear based on injury reports throughout the week, but a potential fourth consecutive absence would be a massive detriment for an already struggling Falcons secondary that will be taking on the Drew Brees-led Saints in the…read more
