Cornerback Logan Ryan officially announced his retirement from professional football on his social-media account on Tuesday. "Thank you to all my family, friends and teammates for the guidance and support! Thanks to the fans for watching! Won two Super Bowls and got out happy and healthy to be the best father for my children! Thanks again for 11 seasons! Cheers to what's next," Ryan wrote. The 33-year-old spent 11 years in the league after the New England Patriots took him in the third round (83rd overall) in 2013 out of Rutgers. He played in just five games (two starts) with the San Francisco 49ers in 2023 and will finish his lengthy career with a total of 755 tackles (545 solo), 13 sacks, 20 tackles for loss, 26 QB hits, 19 interceptions (one returned for a TD), 98 passes defended, 15 forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries in 154 regular-season games (123 starts).
San Francisco 49ers defensive back Logan Ryan (groin) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Saturday's playoff game against the Green Bay Packers. Ryan popped up as a non-participant during Tuesday's practice. After that, Ryan was limited on Wednesday before getting in a full session on Thursday. The veteran defensive back appears to be fine and should see plenty of playing time this weekend. He figures to have a significant role alongside Ji'Ayir Brown and Tashaun Gipson.
Buccaneers Activate Logan Ryan From Injured Reserve
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers activated safety Logan Ryan (foot) from Injured Reserve on Monday before the Week 13 game against the New Orleans Saints and waived safety Nolan Turner in a corresponding move. Ryan has missed the last seven games after having surgery for his broken foot, but he'll be available for Tampa's secondary to close out Week 13 action against the Saints. The Bucs defense is also expected to have both defensive linemen Akiem Hicks (foot) and Vita Vea (foot) active, so they are receiving quite the boost with Ryan also available. Defensive backs Mike Edwards (hamstring) and Antoine Winfield (ankle) are both doubtful on Monday night, so Ryan will help pick up some of the slack, likely in a reduced role in his first game back.
Logan Ryan Designated To Return From Injured Reserve
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers designated defensive back Logan Ryan (foot) to return from Injured Reserve on Wednesday, opening his 21-day practice window for the team to officially activate him from IR. There's a chance that Ryan will be able to play on Monday night in Week 13 against the New Orleans Saints, but it will depend on how he looks at practice this week. The 31-year-old has been sidelined since mid-October due to a fractured foot that required surgery, so there's a good chance he's eased back in once he's officially activated. With the Buccaneers still in play to win the NFC South despite a losing record, the Bucs will hope that Ryan can help their secondary down the stretch. Ryan had only nine tackles (five solo), an interception, two passes defensed and a forced fumble in four games before he broke his foot.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Logan Ryan (foot) was injured early in the team's Sunday night showdown with the Kansas City Chiefs and exited the game. The 31-year-old was replaced by former Pro-Bowler Keanu Neal. The severity of Ryan's foot injury is currently unknown and his return is questionable.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers released safety Logan Ryan on Tuesday despite receiving consistent praise from the coaching staff during training camp. Ryan is a vested veteran and won't be subject to waivers, so the Bucs will likely look to bring him back on Wednesday after center Ryan Jensen (knee) goes on Injured Reserve. The 31-year-old veteran was originally a third-round pick in 2013 by the New England Patriots out of Rutgers. He spent the 2021 season with the New York Giants, recording a career-high 117 tackles (77 solo), one sack, three QB hits, eight passes defensed, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 15 games played. Ryan has improved with age, recording 100-plus tackles in two of his last three seasons.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed former New York Giants captain Logan Ryan to an undisclosed deal on Friday, according to sources. Ryan is another old friend of quarterback Tom Brady and will give Tampa a leader in their secondary. The 31-year-old safety won two Super Bowls with Brady for the New England Patriots. Ryan moved from cornerback to safety the last two years with the Giants, and he'll help replace Jordan Whitehead, who signed with the New York Jets in free agency. In the last two years in New York, Ryan accumulated 145 solo tackles, three tackles for loss, seven QB hits, one interception, 17 passes defensed, five forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries and two sacks in 30 starts.
The New York Giants activated safety Logan Ryan from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday and placed cornerback Darnay Holmes (rib) on Injured Reserve in a corresponding move. Ryan missed the last two games while on the COVID-19 list, but he'll return and give the Giants secondary a boost for their Week 13 game against the Miami Dolphins. The 30-year-old veteran has 72 tackles, five passes defensed, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries over nine games in 2021 and will once again be in play in lineups in deeper IDP leagues this weekend. New York's defense/special teams surprised in a win over the Philadelphia Eagles last week, and they could be valuable as a streaming defensive unit against Miami this Sunday.
The New York Giants officially placed safety Logan Ryan on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday after he tested positive for the virus. As a result, he's expected to miss the Week 11 game on Monday night against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Ryan is asymptomatic and vaccinated, but he'll need to return two negative tests by Monday in order to play, which is highly unlikely. With the 30-year-old unlikely to be active on Monday, Julian Love will likely be forced into starting duties in a tough challenge against Tom Brady and a Buccaneers offense that could be getting tight end Rob Gronkowski (back) back. The Giants defense/special teams ranks 14th in fantasy points coming into this week, but they aren't a recommended play on Monday against Tampa.
New York Giants safety Logan Ryan tested positive for COVID-19 and is now unlikely to play on Monday night against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Giants will likely be placing Ryan on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, and head coach Joe Judge said the situation doesn't appear to be a false-positive. Julian Love will likely take Ryan's spot on Monday and start next to Xavier McKinney in the secondary. Losing Ryan, one of the Giants defensive leaders, comes at a bad time with future Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady looking to bounce back after a disappointing loss in Week 10 to the Washington Football Team. Needless to say, fantasy managers will want to avoid New York's defense in Week 11.
