The Titans brought in Anderson (suspension) for a tryout Monday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was suspended for the first six games of last season for a violation of the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances. However, the 255-pound linebacker was released by the Giants ahead of the 2021 regular season, and he did not play again until signing with the Steelers this past October. Anderson then recorded one tackle while playing 27 defensive snaps over five games with Pittsburgh, though he was eventually let go in early November.

Anderson (suspension) was released by the Giants on Tuesday, Michael Eisen of the Giants' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was handed a six-game suspension Saturday due to a violation of the league's policy on performance enhancing substances. The linebacker appeared in a career-low nine games with Washington last year and recorded nine tackles (six solo).

Anderson was suspended for six games Saturday for violating the league's policy on performance enhancing substances, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
EDGE Analysis
If Anderson makes the team, the linebacker will not be eligible to return to the active roster until Oct. 18. The 2017 second-round pick has been competing for a depth role for the Giants' defense; however. Anderson's suspension will likely be a factor when the team must make final cuts ahead of the regular season.

Anderson signed a new contract with the Giants on Tuesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Giants waiving Anderson on Monday was only due to an issue with his contract. Cutting and re-signing the linebacker was a way for the Giants to fix the wrinkle in the contract. Anderson played nine games for the Washington Football Team last season, recording nine tackles. He figures to play a depth role for the Giants if he makes the final roster.

Anderson (back) was released by the Giants on Monday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was sidelined for the first couple weeks of camp before recently passing a physical, though he was cut before taking the field for New York. The 26-year-old appeared in nine games for Washington last year and totaled nine tackles.

Anderson was placed on the non-football injury list with a back injury Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The severity of Anderson's injury isn't yet clear, but he'll be unavailable to begin camp. The 26-year-old dealt with a knee injury last year and played 145 defensive snaps in nine games with Washington. Once he's cleared to practice, he should compete for a depth role with his new team.

Anderson (knee) is signing a one-year contract with the Giants, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The deal includes a $137,500 signing bonus and qualifies for the veteran salary benefit, so Anderson should have the inside track for a spot on the Week 1 roster. A 2017 second-round pick, he started just four of his 52 regular-season games in Washington, recording 86 tackles, 15 QB hits and six sacks. Anderson flashed some potential in 2019 with five forced fumbles and four sacks, but between a knee injury and tougher competition for playing time, he played just 145 defensive snaps in nine games in 2020. He missed the final seven weeks of the season, but there hasn't been any report of him needing surgery.

Anderson (knee) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson already missed the last three games. Now, he won't be eligible to play until a Week 17 matchup against the Eagles. Ryan Kerrigan has handled more work as the primary backup to Chase Young and Montez Sweat, and that rotation figures to remain intact for the time being. If Anderson doesn't return this season, he'll finish with nine tackles over nine games. He'll be a free agent in March.

Anderson (knee) is inactive for Monday's game against the Steelers, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson will watch from the sidelines for a third straight game despite practicing without limitations for the final two sessions of the week. He'll look to keep that momentum going in order to return to the field next week against the 49ers.

Anderson (knee) is questionable for Monday's game versus the Steelers, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson appears to be on the right track after logging back-to-back full practices to close out the week. The fourth-year defensive end's role has been heavily diminished on Washington's defense, as he has averaged just 10.5 snaps per game since Week 5.
