Dante Pettis - Page 3 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Works out with Cowboys The Cowboys hosted Pettis (undisclosed) for a workout Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Pettis was let go with an injury settlement by the Bears on Sept. 5 due to an undisclosed issue. He appears to be healthy from whatever was ailing him, and the 28-year-old wideout is attempting to catch on with an NFL roster. He last saw regular-season action in 2022 with the Bears, during which he registered 19 catches (on 41 targets) for 245 yards and three touchdowns across 17 games.

Let go with injury settlement The Bears released Pettis (undisclosed) from injured reserve Thursday with an injury settlement, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact The injury settlement allows Pettis to sign with another team once he is recovered from whatever is ailing him. The 2018 second-round pick missed all of last season due to a back injury he sustained during training camp. Pettis appeared in all 17 regular-season games for the Bears in 2022, and he finished with 19 catches (on 41 targets) for 245 yards and three touchdowns.

Placed on IR The Bears placed Pettis (undisclosed) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Impact With no designation to return, the only way Pettis can play this season is if he reaches an injury settlement to be released by the Bears. He scored a pair of TDs during the preseason but isn't likely to be more than a fifth/sixth WR (and maybe a return specialist) even if he gets healthy at some point soon.

NFL preseason top moments: Patrick Mahomes goes behind-the-back, Caleb Williams shines

Catches two TDs Pettis caught each of his three targets for 53 yards and two touchdowns in a 27-3 preseason win over the Bengals on Saturday.

Impact A 2018 second-round pick, Pettis was the Bears' No. 3 receiver as recently as 2022 but didn't play in 2023 after suffering a back injury last August. He's now battling for one of the final roster spots, having caught each of his three passes Saturday in the third quarter after starting QB Caleb Williams was pulled from the game.

Likely battling for rotational work After missing the 2023 season with a back injury, Pettis is likely battling for a depth role in the Chicago offense.

Impact In 2022 with the Bears, Pettis posted 245 yards and three touchdowns, which represented his best season since 2018. Unlike previous Bears' teams, Chicago now has a strong trio of wide receivers in DJ Moore, Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze. As a result, Pettis will likely be battling for a roster spot against Tyler Scott, Velus Jones, DeAndre Carter and others.

Ticketed for free agency Pettis caught two passes for 19 yards in the Bears' 29-13 loss to the Vikings in Week 18, and ended the season with 19 receptions, 245 yards and three touchdowns over 17 games play...

Impact Pettis was available for more than 12 games for the first time in his five-year career, but he was a depth receiver, which led to him seeing slightly more than two targets per game. Although he had a pair of games with at least 51 yards and a touchdown, he was held to fewer than 15 yards in most of his games. After staying healthy and reasonably reliable, he should continue to serve as a depth option next year and beyond. He's now an unrestricted free agent.

Back at practice Wednesday Pettis (head) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.

Impact Pettis briefly checked into a hospital following Sunday's loss to the Lions with blurred vision, but he was able to fly back to Chicago later that night and appears to have avoided a concussion or a related injury. Barring a setback, Pettis should be full go heading into Chicago's season finale this weekend against the Vikings.

Brief stay at hospital Pettis returned to Chicago on a separate flight Sunday night after briefly checking into a hospital with blurred vision, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Pettis failed to catch his lone target during Sunday's loss to the Lions and played a season-low 14 snaps. He was taken to a hospital following the game, but he cleared concussion protocol and was able to fly home Sunday night. However, it's unclear if the fifth-year wideout will be able to practice during Week 18 prep.

Targeted once in defeat Pettis failed to catch his lone target in the Bears' 41-10 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Impact Pettis has surpassed 20 yards once since Week 1, though he has scored four touchdowns this season. He'll be considered a touchdown-dependent dart throw for fantasy in Week 18 against Minnesota.
