David Long Latest News
Fails physical with Tennessee
Long (undisclosed) will not be joining the Titans' 53-man roster after failing his physical Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports. Long was waived by the Lions on Tuesday after playing five games with Detroit, finishing with seven tackles (three solo). He was claimed off waivers by the Titans on Wednesday, but he was unable to pass his physical due to an undisclosed injury and will not be on Tennessee's active roster for the final two games of the 2024 regular season. Long would have the ability to sign with a team once he is fully recovered from his injury.
Claimed by Tennessee
The Titans claimed Long off waivers Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports. Long was waived by the Lions on Tuesday but will join his third team of the season after having spent time with the Dolphins as well. He should provide much-needed help at linebacker for the Titans who have been decimated by injuries at the position.
Waived by Detroit
The Lions waived Long on Tuesday. Long first signed with the team's active roster at the end of November but will now head to waivers. The 28-year-old will look to catch on with another team and has recorded 45 tackles (29 solo) across 13 games this season with both the Dolphins and the Lions.
Signed to active roster
The Lions signed Long off their practice squad Wednesday. Long was released by the Dolphins on Nov. 13 and signed with Detroit's practice squad five days later. He played 13 defensive snaps in his Lions debut last week against the Colts and now joins the active roster. Long has 76 career regular-season games of experience, including 49 starts.
Finds work in Detroit
The Lions signed Long to their practice squad Monday. With Alex Anzalone expected to be sidelined for 6-to-8 weeks after breaking his forearm in the Lions' Week 11 win over the Jaguars, Long has been added to Detroit's practice squad. The veteran linebacker's production has slowed recently, as he posted just 38 total tackles across eight games with the Dolphins before being waived Nov. 13. However, he could help Detroit fill Anzalone's void once he becomes acquainted with the team's defensive scheme.
Dropped by Miami
Long was waived by the Dolphins on Wednesday. Long, who had 113 total tackles in 2023, has recorded just 38 stops across eight appearances this season. His production appears to be slowing down, but he could still be a sought-after name on the free-agent market for teams in need of inside linebacker depth.
Nine tackles in loss
Long recorded (six solo) in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Cardinals. Long finished tied for the team lead in tackles with Jordyn Brooks, producing at least eight stops for the third time this season. Through six games in 2024, the linebacker has compiled 38 total tackles (26 solo).
Gets green light
Long (knee) is good to go for Sunday's game against the Colts. Long drew a questionable designation following a week of limited workloads at practice. Barring any setbacks, he should take on his usual role alongside Jordyn Brooks at inside linebacker.
Questionable for Week 7
Long (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Colts. Long appears to be dealing with a knee injury following the Dolphins' bye week, but he still practiced in a limited fashion throughout the week and has a chance to suit up Sunday. If the 28-year-old is unable to play through injury in Week 7, expect Anthony Walker to start alongside Jordyn Brooks in Miami's inside-linebacker corps.
