Former Lions RB Theo Riddick announces his retirement

Longtime Detroit Lions running back Theo Riddick has hung up his football cleats. Riddick, who has been with the Las Vegas Raiders, announced his retirement on Friday.
The Raiders placed Riddick, 30, on the reserve/retired list. He spent one season playing for the Raiders.

A 2013 6th-round pick by the Lions out of Notre Dame, Riddick proved to be one of the most versatile weapons the team has had. In six years in Detroit, Riddick ran the ball 285 times and hauled in 288 passes. Riddick developed into more than a third-down specialist and scored 19 touchdowns between 2013 and 2018, his final year with the Lions.

Riddick first landed in Denver after the Lions made the unpopular move of cutting him in the 2019 training camp, but the swift RB spent that season on injured reserve. He appeared in four games for Las Vegas in 2020.

Congrats on a great career, Theo — one of the best Day 3 draft picks the Lions have made.

The Jaguars activated receiver Jamal Agnew from the active/non-football injury list, the team announced Monday.

Agnew went on the list Wednesday.

He signed a three-year, $14.25 million deal with the Jaguars in March.

Agnew, most known as a return specialist, averaged 12.7 yards per punt return and 28.0 yards per kick return for the Lions last season. He has four career punt returns for touchdowns — including one in 2020 — and one career kick return for a touchdown.

The Lions selected Agnew in the fifth round of the 2017 draft.

KENNY GOLLADAYWR, NEW YORK GIANTS
Giants WR Kenny Golladay left Giants' practice Tuesday with an apparent leg injury.


Video from the team's practice shows Golladay grabbing at the back of his left leg near the end of a passing play. Golladay, who signed a four-year, $72 million deal with New York this offseason, was escorted into the team facility by member of the training staff. It's a deeply concerning development for Golladay, who missed most of the 2020 season with a hip injury. His absence would leave a massive void in the Giants offense and open up targets for Sterling Shepard, Evan Engram, and Darius Slayton.

Did anyone check on Froot Loops? How is he doing with the loss? This is a very sad day for him. We need to support him.

Maybe (just maybe) things are reversing. It used to be FA that signed with us got banged up. Marvin better be careful

Mohamed Sanu’s second stint with the 49ers seems to be going a lot better than the first

Receiver Mohamed Sanu‘s career fell off a cliff after being traded from the Falcons to the Patriots for a second-round pick during the 2019 regular season. Now in his second stint with the 49ers after being released last year, Sanu could be on the verge of a career rebirth.

Signed last year by the 49ers, the team cut him fairly quickly, apparently due in large part to the lingering effects of a high ankle sprain suffered during the 2019 season, after the trade to New England. Signed again in the offseason, a different Sanu is competing for a spot on the 53-man roster.

“Sanu told us he was good to go and we believed him,” Shanahan said, via the Associated Press. “And we got him here in OTAs and we could see it. I think you ask our players and anybody who’s watched him here, it looks like the guy I remember, and not the guy that we had for that week and a half or whatever it was.”

Sanu and Shanahan worked together in Atlanta. They could now be renewing that relationship in games that count come September.

“I just love the team and organization,” Sanu said, per the AP. “I knew it wasn’t anything personal and I knew how everything was planned out. I wasn’t at my best, still coming off that ankle injury, getting all the way back to myself.”

Like Emmanuel Sanders before Sanu, the veteran has had an impact on the team’s talented young receivers.

“I love Mo,” Brandon Aiyuk said, via the AP. “Mo is somebody that I gravitated toward early, from the first day he came into the building last season.”

“Me and [Aiyuk] were kind of upset last year when they cut Sanu because he was the vet in the room,” Deebo Samuel said. “He’d been in there for a while. He teaches us the ins and outs of the game, not only just football.”

A dozen receivers currently are on the team, but if Sanu is healthy he could easily snag the No. 3 or No. 4 spot on the final depth chart, with Aiyuk and Samuel the likely starters. Other veterans competing for the final roster include Travis Benjamin and Jordan Matthews. The 49ers also hope to finally get a return on Jalen Hurd, a third-round pick in 2019 and who has not played in two NFL seasons.
