The Bears waived Pinkney (undisclosed) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pinkney joined the Bears early in training camp with the hope of competing for a depth role at tight end, but he has dealt with an injury late in camp. Though the specifics of his injury are still unknown, the veteran was able to reach an agreement on an injury settlement with the Bears. For this reason, Pinkney will not have to miss the entire 2023 campaign and can look to sign with another team as the season gets underway.

Pinkney (undisclosed) has reverted to the Bears' injured reserve, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pinkney was looking to earn a spot providing depth for the Bears at tight end before getting waived/injured. The nature of his injury has not been made public. He is now looking at spending the entire 2023 campaign on the sideline unless both he and the team can agree on an injury settlement once his health allows it.

The Bears waived/injured Pinkney (undisclosed) on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Pinkney was picked up by the Bears at the start of training camp and was looking to earn a depth role at tight end. Now, he will revert to the Bears' injured reserve should he ultimately go unclaimed off waivers.

Pinkey signed a contract with the Bears on Monday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pinkey was waived by the Rams in March after appearing in four games with them in 2022. The 25-year-old will work to earn a depth role in Chicago's tight-end corps behind Cole Kmet and Robert Tonyan.

The Rams waived Pinkney on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Pinkney made four appearances for the Rams in 2022, totaling 42 snaps (three offensive). He has yet to catch a pass across two NFL seasons and will likely be a long shot to make a roster ahead of the 2023 campaign.

The Rams signed Pinkney off the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

EDGE Analysis

Pinkney was elevated from the practice squad for the third time this season ahead of the Week 17 loss to the Chargers. The 25-year-old has played just one of his 38 snaps on offense across three appearances, so it's likely he'll continue to serve as a core special-teamer while seeing extremely limited opportunities behind top tight ends Tyler Higbee and Brycen Hopkins in Week 18.

Pinkney reverted to the Rams' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

Pinkney was elevated for the third time this season ahead of Los Angeles' Week 17 loss to the Chargers, and he played a minimal role in the contest with one offensive snap and nine special-teams snaps. Top tight end Tyler Higbee entered the game as questionable due to an elbow injury, but he was ultimately able to suit up, thus limiting Pinkney's usage. Pinkney has yet to catch a pass in two seasons as a pro.

Pinkney was elevated from the Rams' practice squad Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Pinkney is poised to make his first appearance on the active roster since Week 10 and could be thrust into a prominent position behind nominal backup Brycen Hopkins if Tyler Higbee (elbow) is unable to play.

Pinkney reverted to the Rams' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

Pinkney received his second elevation to the active roster in as many weeks, but once again he failed to see any snaps on offense. However, the 25-year-old did record a tackle on punt coverage while working on special teams in Sunday's game with the Cardinals.

The Rams elevated Pinkney to their 53-man roster ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

The same moves was made regarding Pinkney ahead of the team's Week 9 loss to Tampa Bay, when he logged 13 snaps on special teams. He presumably will see a similar workload this Sunday.
