News: The Buccaneers cut three players on Friday. The players released were LB Tyrone McKenzie, DL Kyle Moore and DL John McCargo.
Analysis: McKenzie was not a player expected to get much playing time even if he did make the team. He should not be owned in any IDP format.
News: DE George Johnson and LB Tyrone McKenzie have been promoted from the practice squad to the active roster, the Bucs announced Tuesday. The moves comes in conjunction with rookie DT Gerald McCoy (torn biceps) and LB Quincy Black (broken arm) being placed on injured reserve.
Analysis: McKenzie played linebacker at the University of South Florida -- a few miles from Buc headquarters. McKenzie entered the league as a third-round pick by New England in 2009, but spent '09 on injured reserve. He is nothing more than roster depth and can be ignored in Fantasy.
News: The Buccaneers have signed former Patriots LB Tyrone McKenzie.
Analysis: McKenzie asked for his release over the weekend and got it. As a practice squad DB, he can continue to be ignored in IDP Fantasy play.
News: Patriots LB Tyrone McKenzie asked to be released from the practice squad, reports the Boston Herald on Saturday. McKenzie apparently wants to pursue a better opportunity.
Analysis: Wherever McKenzie lands, he is doubtful to become a Fantasy-viable IDP player. Ignore him until we're proven wrong.
News: The Patriots signed LB Tyrone McKenzie to their practice squad Tuesday, two days after he was cut.
Analysis: McKenzie, who missed all of last season with an injury, will continue to have no Fantasy value as just a practice squad player.
News: The Patriots placed LB Tyrone McKenzie (knee) on season-ending injured reserve Monday, according to the Boston Globe.
Analysis: McKenzie will spend the entire season the injured reserve list and will not be a factor in Fantasy leagues. He should not be owned in any format.
News: The Patriots signed rookie linebacker Tyrone McKenzie and released safety Tank Williams Tuesday. McKenzie, a third-round draft choice from South Florida, is out for the season with a torn ligament in his right knee.
Analysis: McKenzie will spend the entire season the injured reserve list and will not be a factor in Fantasy leagues. He should not be owned in any format.
News: The Boston Globe reports that Patriots LB Tyrone McKenzie tore his right ACL when he became entangled with a running back during the club's early May minicamp and will miss the entire 2009 season. The rookie from South Florida is expected to end up on Injured Reserve.
Analysis: The injury crushes McKenzie's faint 2009 Fantasy hopes and could limit his potential in upcoming seasons. Keep him off of all Fantasy rosters going forward.
