Tyler Ervin Heads To Injured Reserve With Foot Ailment
Green Bay Packers running back Tyler Ervin (foot) is set to be placed on Injured Reserve due to a foot ailment, which could very well end his 2020 season. With just four games remaining in the regular season, Ervin is expected to miss at least a month due to the injury that he sustained in Sunday's win over Philadelphia. Ervin's absence in the backfield leaves the duo of Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams as the two primary ball-carriers. Rookie A.J. Dillon remains on the COVID-19 list. In addition to his role as an RB, Ervin has also combined to return 10 kicks and five punts for 216 yards. Green Bay currently has former return extraordinaire Tavon Austin on its roster, and he would seem to be a logical shoe-in for any special teams repetitions that Ervin accrued on a weekly basis.
Green Bay Packers running back Tyler Ervin (ribs) has been ruled out of Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Ervin has been developing into a solid receiving threat for the Packers, though he hasn't yet reached the point where he holds much fantasy relevance. Green Bay will continue to heavily use Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams.
The Green Bay Packers are expected to re-sign running back/return man Tyler Ervin on an undisclosed one-year deal. Ervin was picked up off waivers midway through last season and gave the Packers a boost in the return game. The 26-year-old had 11 punt returns for 106 yards and also returned six kickoffs for 160 yards in four games in Green Bay in 2019. He did next to nothing on offense, though, carrying the ball just one time for 10 yards and catching two passes for 11 yards. He's strictly a special teams guy and is behind Aaron Jones, Jamaal Williams and Dexter Williams on the running back depth chart.
The Houston Texans claimed wide receiver Deandre Carter off waivers from the Eagles on Wednesday and waived running back Tyler Ervin in a corresponding move, according to a source. Carter will help provide depth behind DeAndre Hopkins, Demaryius Thomas, Keke Coutee and Vyncint Smith and will have extra time to learn the offense during Houston's bye week. He caught both of his targets for 21 yards in seven games for Philly this year and isn't a fantasy consideration. Ervin had zero rushing attempts this year and caught three passes for only 35 yards.
Houston Texans running back Tyler Ervin, who has primarily been a return specialist for the team, is expected to see more looks out of the slot with rookie wide receiver Keke Coutee (hamstring) expected to sit out on Thursday night against the Dolphins. "He's a very smart player, so we'll see how that goes for us moving forward. We've got a lot of different things we can do in the slot, but he's definitely one guy that we can use there," head coach Bill O'Brien said. Ervin had a 19-yard catch in Week 7 and also fumbled. He has two catches for 31 yards on the year. Even if he sees time in the slot on Thursday, fantasy owners should continue ignoring him. Plus, Coutee might only miss one game after aggravating his hamstring.
Houston Texans running back Tyler Ervin lost much of his 2017 season to a patellar tendon tear, but Ervin is back at training camp and has impressed the coaching staff. Ervin's main role on the Texans is as a return man, but the back did add eight catches for 38 yards last season in four games. He could be in line to see an increase in work on pass catching downs this season, but it's unlikely he'd see enough snaps to justify a spot on fantasy radars without Houston's other backs dealing with injury.
Houston Texans running back/kick returner Tyler Ervin (knee) has been medically cleared to take part in training camp next month after he was put on Injured Reserve in 2017 with a torn patellar tendon that required surgery. The fourth-round pick caught eight passes for 38 yards in just four games last year, and he'll need to prove his health in order to make the final roster heading into the regular season.
It was clear after he had surgery for a torn patellar tendon that Houston Texans running back and returner Tyler Ervin was headed for Injured Reserve, but the team has now made it official. With Ervin out, expect some combination of Bruce Ellington, Will Fuller, and Chris Thompson to handle return duties. All three gain some value in leagues with return yardage, but not as much as they would if the situation was more clear.
Texans running back and returner Tyler Ervin has torn his patellar tendon and will have surgery. He is expected to be placed on the IR. Ervin showed promise in the return game. His role will likely be filled by either Bruce Ellington or Will Fuller, making both slightly more valuable in leagues that count return yardage.
Houston running back and kick returner Tyler Ervin has been ruled out for the rest of Houston's Week 4 game against the Titans with a knee injury. Expect Will Fuller to see time returning kicks for the rest of the game. If Ervin misses time, Fuller will likely gain value in leagues with return yardage.
