News

  • Looks shaky for Week 1

    Ansah is still recovering from shoulder surgery and may not be ready to play for the Seahawks at the beginning of the season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Ansah hopes to receive full medical clearance by mid-August, but it now sounds like the timeline is far from a sure thing. This helps to explain why it took so long before he agreed to a one-year contract with Seattle. The team's willingness to give him $5.5 million guaranteed speaks to how effective he's been when healthy, piling up 48 sacks and 110 quarterback hits in 80 career games while averaging just 37.9 snaps per contest. In terms of per-snap efficiency as a pass rusher, Ansah is a…read more

  • Heading to Seattle

    Ansah (shoulder) agreed Thursday on a one-year deal with the Seahawks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Ansah's contract with Seattle includes $5.5 million guaranteed, according to Adam Schefter and Brady Henderson of ESPN.com. The 29-year-old will likely assume a starting role at defensive end after the Seahawks dealt Frank Clark to Kansas City prior to the NFL draft last month. Ansah is expected to be fully cleared by mid-August after undergoing surgery earlier in the offseason to address a torn labrum.

  • Drawing interest from Seattle

    The Seahawks have emerged as the favorites to sign Ansah (shoulder), Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The two sides have yet to agree to terms, but it seems the Seahawks' addition of first-round pick L.J. Collier may not be the end of the team's effort to replace the departed Frank Clark. Ansah reportedly met with Seattle earlier in the week after also making visits in Buffalo, New Orleans and Baltimore.

  • Visiting Seattle

    Ansah (shoulder) is making a free-agent visit with the Seahawks on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Ansah received a positive outlook when visiting a shoulder specialist last week and expects to be fully cleared by mid-August. The 29-year-old also has visited with the Bills, Saints and Ravens, but apparently never planned to sign before visiting the shoulder specialist. A pairing with the Seahawks would make sense given the team traded their top pass rusher in Frank Clark earlier this month, though they also drafted defensive end L.J. Collier late in the first round over the weekend.

  • Expecting late-summer return

    Ansah (shoulder) drew positive reviews from a shoulder specialist Monday and expects to be fully cleared by mid-August, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: It appears Ansah left his visit with the Ravens without signing a contract, but that doesn't necessarily mean Baltimore isn't a possible suitor for the defensive end any longer. Regardless, any team looking to sign Ansah will be concerned with the health of his troublesome shoulder. Fortunately for the soon-to-be 30-year-old, he appears to have a reasonable chance of being ready to go well before the start of the regular season.

  • Visiting Baltimore

    Ansah (shoulder) is visiting the Ravens on Wednesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: While he only has experience in 4-3 schemes to this point in his pro career, Ansah could fit in Baltimore's 3-4 defense as a pass rusher for nickel packages, helping to replace offseason defections Terrell Suggs (Cardinals) and Za'Darius Smith (Packers). Ansah will turn 30 in May after battling through a series of injuries the past three seasons, but it's hard to argue with his production when healthy, as he had 16 sacks in 21 appearances between 2017 and 2018 despite averaging just 31.5 snaps…read more

  • Unlikely to sign before mid-April

    Ansah (shoulder) may not sign before a mid-April check-up on his surgically repaired shoulder, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Ansah underwent offseason shoulder surgery to address a torn labrum, which he played through for much of last season before being shut down Week 15. With the initial free-agent clamor having subsided, teams appear willing to wait until all information about Ansah's readiness and recovery timetable are disclosed. The 29-year-old has missed a total of 14 games over the last three seasons but remains a disruptive pass rusher when healthy.

  • Scheduling meetings with suitors

    Ansah, who became an unrestricted free agent Wednesday, is first scheduled to visit with the Bills and then the Saints, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Detroit is allowing the talented but injury-prone defensive end to walk in free agency and effectively replacing him with ex-Patriot Trey Flowers. Now in search of a new home, Ansah projects as a decent fit with either of the organizations he's reportedly meeting with. A potential union with the Saints would be particularly nightmarish for opposing offensive lines, as Ansah would join a Cameron Jordan-led front seven that finished fourth in the league in adjusted sack rate last season, per…read more

  • Shut down for season

    The Lions placed Ansah (shoulder) on injured reserve Tuesday.

    Analysis: The transaction spells an end to Ansah's season and possibly his time in Detroit. Since posting a career-high 14.5 sacks in 2015, Ansah has missed time each of the subsequent three seasons, sitting out 14 games in total. Though Ansah was still effective at getting after the passer when he was able to take the field, the Lions might prefer to invest elsewhere across the roster rather than paying up to retain the 29-year-old, who will become a free agent in March. Ansah's future outlook is…read more

  • Carted off Sunday

    Ansah (shoulder) is out for the remainder of Sunday's game against Arizona, Scott Bordow of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Ansah suffered the injury in the second quarter of Sunday's game and seemed to be in serious pain. He was carted to the locker room and has been deemed out for the rest of the game. In his stead, Eric Lee will likely fill in at defensive end.

  • Set for Sunday

    Ansah (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Ansah has been battling the shoulder issue all season but he was able to practice fully Friday to avoid the questionable tag. The 29-year-old saw a season-high 41 defensive snaps last Sunday against the Rams, and he'll hopefully be able to continue ramping up his workload at Arizona.

  • Will play Thursday

    Ansah (shoulder) is active for Thursday's game against the Bears, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ansah will play through the shoulder issue that kept him limited in practice throughout the week, though fellow defensive end Kerry Hyder (coach's decision) will not be available to provide depth in the event of a setback.

  • Listed as questionable for Thursday

    Ansah (shoulder) carries the questionable tag for Thursday's matchup with the Bears, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ansah logged three limited practices this week and played through this injury Sunday against the Panthers. In that game, Ansah was used primarily as a situational pass rusher and recorded two tackles (one solo) and a sack over 25 defensive snaps. If Ansah misses time Thursday, Kerry Hyder or Da'Shawn Hand could see more snaps.

  • Effective in situational role

    Ansah logged two tackles, two quarterback hits and one sack during Sunday's 20-19 victory over Carolina.

    Analysis: Ansah almost saw as much playing time as he did in the previous two games combined, but he still finished fifth among Lions defensive lineman in snaps. Given his checkered medical history, it may be wise for Detroit to continue deploying the BYU product as a situational pass rusher. After all, Ansah has never been a stud in run support.

  • Active for Sunday's game

    Ansah (shoulder) will play in Sunday's game versus the Panthers.

    Analysis: Ansah's only played in three games this year, and he logged less than 20 defensive snaps in each outing. Ansah has generated two sacks anyway, and he'll have an uphill battle to drop Cam Newton, who has been sacked 17 times (23rd-most).

  • Questionable for Week 11

    Ansah (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Panthers.

    Analysis: Ansah missed six straight games after Week 1 but has since played in the Lions' last two games. The BYU product practiced in a limited capacity all three days this week. If Ansah were to miss time Sunday, Kerry Hyder or Da'Shawn Hand could see an increase in work.

  • Active Sunday

    Ansah (shoulder) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bears.

    Analysis: Ansah played just 12 defensive snaps during last week's loss to the Vikings in his first action since the season opener, but he still managed to record a sack. If Ansah were to suffer any sort of setback, Eric Lee and Romeo Okwara could see additional work at defensive end across from Kerry Hyder.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Ansah (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears.

    Analysis: Ansah played in a game last Sunday for the first time since Week 1 when he suited up against the Vikings, and his limited participation at practice this week bodes well for his Week 10 availability. That being said, the 29-year-old played only 12 defensive snaps against Minnesota, and he could be on a limited snap count again this week if he's active.

  • Picks up sack

    Ansah's only tackle was a sack during Sunday's 24-9 loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: Sunday marked Ansah's first game since Week 1, and his reps were limited against the Vikings, as he played just 12 of the team's defensive snaps. He still managed to bring down Kirk Cousins for his second sack of the year, though. He'll look to keep his sack streak going against the Bears on Sunday.

  • Will suit up versus Vikings

    Ansah (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

    Analysis: Ansah hasn't played since Week 1 versus the Jets, a game in which he had four tackles and a sack, and logged just 19 offensive snaps. He'll immediately bolster the Lions' pass rush, and his first target will be Kirk Cousins, who has been dropped 23 times in eight games.

  • Good chance to play Week 9

    Ansah (shoulder), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, is expected to be available for the contest, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The Lions want to test Ansah's shoulder out in a pregame workout before deciding on his status, but there appears to be optimism the star defensive end will be ready to play for the first time since Week 1. Given the nearly two-month layoff, it's possible that Ansah's reps will be limited more than usual if he gains clearance to play.

  • Listed as questionable

    Ansah (shoulder) was a limited participant in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Analysis: Ansah has been sidelined since Week 1, so it's not the best sign for his availability that he was a limited practice participant from Wednesday through Friday. The Lions may want to see Ansah put in multiple full practices before signing off on his return to game action, though it's possible he may have demonstrated enough progress in the limited sessions to earn an active status this weekend. Even if that ends up being the case, Ansah would likely be eased back into action as part of a…read more

  • Remains day-to-day

    Ansah (shoulder) is still considered day-to-day heading into Week 9, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ansah has missed the last six games as he continues to deal with the shoulder issue, although coach Matt Patricia indicated his recent practice work has been encouraging. The 29-year-old appears to be slated for the questionable tag once against after posting limited practice sessions Wednesday and Thursday.
