Chase Claypool - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Trying out with Green Bay The Packers brought Claypool in for a tryout Friday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Claypool has bounced around the NFL in his six-year tenure. The wide receiver was juggled between the Steelers and Bears twice before being dealt to Miami from Chicago. Eventually, he ended up on the Bills' practice squad before suffering a toe injury that kept him out of the 2025 season. The Packers had interest in the wide receiver during his initial trade to the Bears, and will finally get a chance with the 27-year-old. If Claypool can live up to his second-round stature, he could prove to be an adequate replacement for Dontayvion Wicks, who was traded to the Eagles in early April.

Impact After signing with Buffalo last May, Claypool was making a push to secure a role in the team's wideout corps ahead of the 2024 season, but a toe injury that the 26-year-old suffered last summer ended up sidelining him for the entire campaign. Since then, Claypool has been rehabbing and recovering with an eye toward moving past the issue and resuming his NFL career. The 2020 second-rounder last saw regular-season action in 2023, when he caught eight passes (on 21 targets) in 12 games (three with the Bears and nine with the Dolphins) for 77 yards and a TD.

Reaches injury settlement The Bills have reached an injury settlement with Claypool (toe), Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact The Bills placed Claypool on injured reserve Tuesday, but following Thursday's injury settlement, the veteran wideout is now free to catch on elsewhere once he's past a toe issue that he sustained July 28. Unless he ends up in an ideal situation, however, the 2020 second-rounder seems unlikely to make much of a fantasy impact early on this season.

Placed on IR The Bills placed Claypool (toe) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Impact Claypool won't be able to play this season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Bills at some point and then becomes a free agent. He injured his toe July 28 and hasn't practiced since, leaving Mack Hollins and Marquez Valdes-Scantling as the veteran favorites for depth roles at wide receiver in Buffalo.

Toe injury lingers Claypool is still being evaluated for a toe injury, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact Claypool has now missed over a week of practices, and his status for Saturday's preseason opener against the Bears is in question. The Bills signed the 2020 second-rounder this offseason as a high-upside dart to fill out their receiving room, but right now Claypool is no certainty to even make the Week 1 roster, which is in a huge state of flux after a top three of Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman and Curtis Samuel.

Progressing toward practice Claypool (toe) did side work with trainers during Sunday's practice, Alex Brasky of the Batavia Daily News reports.

Impact Claypool has now missed a full week of practice but seems to be progressing toward a return. He's more likely to be left off the 53-man roster than earn regular playing time at wide receiver, but the 26-year-old could get a chance down the road this season if he manages to stick around beyond August.

Another missed practice Claypool missed Tuesday's practice due to a toe injury, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact The free-agent signee suffered the injury Sunday. While it isn't expected to be a long-term issue, Claypool is on the roster bubble, so any missed time could end up costing him as he takes aim at one of the Bills' final receiver spots.

Viewed as day-to-day Claypool is considered day-to-day with a toe issue, Sal Maioranaof the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle reports.

Impact Claypool sustained his toe injury Sunday, but he isn't expected to be out for long. Once he's able to return to practice, Claypool will resume competing for slotting in a re-tooled Bills wideout corps that also includes Khalil Shakir, Curtis Samuel, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Mack Hollins and rookie Keon Coleman.

JULY 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Hurt during practice Sunday Claypool appeared to injure his left leg while practicing Sunday, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact Fitzgerald indicated that the wideout looked to be in "a good bit of pain" and hobbled after the play before being looked at by trainers. An update on Claypool's status should come following Buffalo's practice Sunday. Being able to participate during training camp could be critical for Claypool, as he is jostling for placement on the team's wide-receiver depth chart with the likes of Curtis Samuel, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Mack Hollins and rookie Keon Coleman.

Links up with Buffalo Claypool is signing a one-year contract with the Bills, Jonathan Jones of CBSSports.com reports.

Impact Unable to make an impact in Chicago or Miami last season, Claypool now heads to his fourth NFL team for his fifth year in the league. It's about as good of a locale as he could've hoped for, as the Bills have a strong-armed franchise QB and questionable depth at WR. Claypool could perhaps serve as a deep threat off the bench even if his days as a starter are numbered.

The 2020 second-round pick has been inactive for four of the Dolphins' seven games since getting traded to Miami, and he'll at least be available for Sunday's contest.
