Signs with Rams' practice squad Powell signed with the Rams' practice squad Friday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

Impact Powell was recently on the Dolphins' practice squad, but the 26-year-old wideout last saw game action with the Falcons in 2020. Over his career, he has played in 21 games and tallied 23 catches on 35 targets for 198 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

Looking for new opportunity Powell was let go from the Dolphins' practice squad Tuesday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Powell has been working with Miami's practice squad since failing to make Buffalo's 53-man roster following training camp. The more experienced Travis Fulgham was surprisingly let go by Philly earlier in the week, which led to the Phins' opting to pick him up and letting Powell go. He will now look for a new opportunity.

Parts ways with Bills Buffalo cut Powell on Monday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Powell had spent the offseason working in Buffalo since March, but his efforts to secure a regular-season roster spot were unsuccessful. He will look to contribute elsewhere as a depth wideout and return man.

Heading to Buffalo The Bills signed Powell to a contract Friday, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.

Impact Powell contributed in both the return and offensive game for the Falcons during the 2020 campaign, with 8.9 yards per punt return and two receiving touchdowns. The versatile player's speed at receiver and in the return game will perhaps provide the Bills with a notable boost this year.

Won't face Bucs in finale Powell (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against Tampa Bay, Jason Butt of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Powell never seemed especially likely to go Week 17, as the return man was unable to submit even a limited practice session heading into Sunday's finale. He'll close out the year with 8.9 yards per punt return, good for eighth best in the NFL. The 25-year-old also saw his offensive role increase as the campaign progressed, contributing seven of his 12 receptions over his final five appearances of 2020.

Still not practicing Powell (foot) did not practice Thursday, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Powell played through his foot issue during last weekend's loss to the Chiefs, but he's now missed back-to-back practices. The Falcons would need to delegate another option in the return game if Powell can't suit up Week 17 versus the Buccaneers.

Sits out Wednesday's practice Powell (foot) did not participate during Wednesday's practice, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Powell was confronted with a foot issue going into the Falcons' Week 16 matchup against the Chiefs. He found a way to suit up, however, fielding 13 offensive snaps while recording a two-yard catch during last Sunday's loss. Powell coughed up a fumble on his lone catch, turning possession over to Kansas City at the 10:50 mark of the fourth quarter. The 25-year-old remains without a missed game on the season, and he will try to power through his foot issue once more as Atlanta travels to take on the Buccaneers to close out the 2020 campaign.

Active for Week 16 Powell (foot) is active for Sunday's game versus the Chiefs, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact With Julio Jones (hamstring) out of the lineup, Powell should handle a decent workload Sunday. In the last two games without Jones, Powell played at least 43 percent of the snaps on offense. However, he didn't capitalize on the extra opportunities in that stretch, catching just three passes for 14 yards.

Questionable for Week 16 Powell (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Impact Powell popped up on the injury report Thursday with an unspecified foot injury, and he remained a limited participant in Friday's practice. With Julio Jones (hamstring) sidelined, Powell's potential absence would presumably allow Christian Blake to handle a large role behind Calvin Ridley and Russell Gage.

DECEMBER 25, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Limited in practice Thursday Powell (foot) was limited during Thursday's practice session, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Powell practiced in full Wednesday, so he may have picked up the foot injury during practice that day. Though the second-year wideout has made minimal contributions on offense this season (11 catches on 16 targets for 67 yards), his absence would be felt on special teams, as he serves as Atlanta's primary kickoff and punt returner.

DECEMBER 24, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Tears off long return Powell corralled his only target for a nine-yard gain, adding one kick-return attempt for 22 yards and three punt returns for 40 yards during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Chargers.

Impact Powell's 20-yard punt return at the 9:07 mark of the fourth quarter situated Atlanta near midfield with a chance to overtake the lead, however, Matt Ryan committed the first of a pair of late-game interceptions 11 plays later. The Florida product will likely continue to carry a peripheral offensive role for weeks when the receiving corps is depleted by injury. Most of his value, however, resides on special teams where he's averaging a respectable 9.3 yards per attempt on punt returns this season.

Impact Opportunities opened up for Atlanta's secondary wide receivers Week 12, as Julio Jones (hamstring) was ruled out before kickoff and Olamide Zaccheaus (toe) had to exit partway through the contest due to injury. Powell capitalized, collecting his second TD reception over his past three appearances. He's made an impact on special teams as well, with the 25-year-old's 8.7 yards per punt return average ranking 12th in the NFL among players with at least 10 attempts.

Little offensive impact Powell rushed once for three yards in Sunday's 24-9 loss to the Saints.

Impact Even with Julio Jones missing a big chunk of the game with a hamstring injury, Powell handled just six snaps on offense. His main contributions continue to come on special teams, where he's the Falcons' primary option to return kicks and punts.

NOVEMBER 24, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Secures first NFL TD Powell corralled his lone target for a nine-yard touchdown, adding a four-yard rush during Sunday's 34-27 win against the Broncos. He also registered a 13-yard punt return.

Impact Powell was able to maneuver by Justin Simmons for the second-quarter score, out-positioning the talented free safety on a nine-yard out route to secure his first TD in the NFL. With Calvin Ridley (foot) sitting out Week 9, Powell garnered his third-highest offensive workload of the season (10 snaps). Ridley and the Falcons' receiving corps will have a chance to recover from injury over the Week 10 bye, potentially lessening Powell's offensive role when the team returns Nov. 22 against New Orleans.

All clear Thursday Powell (elbow) was absent from Thursday's injury report, Tori McElhaney of The Athletic reports.

Impact Powell popped up on the injury report Wednesday, as the elbow issue limited him in practice. Now healthy, expect the Florida product to assume his usual duties as the team's return man, while mixing in with depth receiving snaps. In six games this season, the 25-year-old has supplied three catches for 27 yards, 208 kick return yards and 79 punt return yards.

OCTOBER 22, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Listed on injury report Powell was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to an elbow injury, Jason Butt of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact The 24-year-old has recorded three receptions for 27 yards on the season, with all of his catches coming in Week 3 while Julio Jones sat out with a hamstring injury. Instead, most of Powell's usage has come on special teams, where he ranks third in the NFL with an average of 9.9 yards per punt return. Powell wasn't known to be dealing with an injury ahead of Atlanta's Week 6 win over Minnesota, but his status will now be one to monitor heading into a matchup this weekend versus the Lions.
