1 HOUR AGO • Associated Press

Cut by Bolts The Chargers waived Jennings on Tuesday.

Impact The move makes room on the Chargers' 53-man roster for Hayden Rucci, who will bolster the team's depth at tight end behind Oronde Gadsden in the absences of both Charlie Kolar (forearm) and David Njoku (fibula). Jennings will explore his next options and look to catch on with a team in need of pass-catching depth.

Back with Bolts on active roster The Chargers signed Jennings to a contract Tuesday.

Impact Jennings was cut from the Chargers' practice squad Sept. 7, but he's back with the team on the 53-man roster to add depth at wide receiver after KeAndre Lambert-Smith (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve. Jennings has not played in a regular-season game since 2019 as a member of the Dolphins, but he could see some reps in the Chargers' Week 2 tilt against the Raiders on Sunday if one or both of Ladd McConkey (ribs) and Derius Davis (undisclosed) were ruled out.

Cut from LAC practice squad The Chargers cut Jennings from the practice squad Monday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Jennings signed with the practice squad last Tuesday after being waived from the Chargers' 90-man roster on cutdown day. The wide receiver was cut to make room for cornerback Isas Waxter, who signed with the practice squad in a corresponding move.

Joins LA practice squad The Chargers signed Jennings to the practice squad Monday.

Impact Jennings cleared waivers after being waived by the Chargers during Sunday's cutdown day. The wide receiver impressed enough in training camp to receive a practice squad invitation. Jennings played in one preseason game for the team, catching all three of his targets for 44 yards.

Gets opportunity with Bolts The Chargers signed Jennings to a contract Sunday.

Impact Jennings was a fourth-round selection of the Seahawks in the 2019 NFL Draft, but his lone appearance in a regular-season game came in his rookie campaign as a member of the Dolphins. The last time he was on an NFL roster was in 2023 with the Panthers in training camp, and he's been brought in by the Chargers to provide wide receiver depth due to injuries to Quentin Johnston (lower body), Tre' Harris (undisclosed) and Brenen Thompson (undisclosed). A strong performance in training camp practices over the coming week could be enough for Jennings to stay in Los Angeles as a member of the practice squad.

Heads to IR Jennings (concussion) was placed on the Chiefs' injured reserve Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Impact Jennings has dealt with a concussion since Aug. 6 that kept him sidelined during Kansas City's preseason opener Saturday. The 24-year-old wideout is now set to miss the entirety of the regular season, barring any injury settlement with the Chiefs this preseason.

Waived by Kansas City Jennings (concussion) was waived by Kansas City on Monday.

Impact While the team source didn't clarify, it's likely that Jennings was waived with an injury designation. If that's the case he'll revert to Kansas City's injured reserve once he clears waivers. The 2019 fourth-round pick has appeared in just one NFL contest since he was drafted by the Seahawks.

Out Saturday Jennings (concussion) is not playing against the Bears on Saturday, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.

Impact Jennings wasn't able to get cleared from the concussion he suffered last week, and his chances to impress coaches and make the roster are dwindling as the preseason rolls on. Jennings has yet to make much of an impact in the NFL since being selected in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft by the Seahawks, and he has been relegated to the practice squad on multiple NFL teams with only a single game of NFL action to his credit.

Dealing with concussion Jennings (concussion) was not spotted during Saturday's practice session, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

Impact After signing with Kansas City in May, Jennings is fighting for a roster spot among receivers Daurice Fountain, Cornell Powell, Corey Coleman and Omar Bayless. The 2019 fourth-round pick hasn't lived up to expectations through his first four seasons, as he's now playing for his seventh NFL team. There's no timetable for a return yet, but Jennings will likely sit out at least one week before taking the field again.

Back with Kansas City Kansas City re-signed Jennings on Tuesday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

Impact Jennings joined Kansas City on a reserve/future contract in January but was let go to make room for potential undrafted free agents. However, the 29-year-old has rejoined the team following the conclusion of rookie minicamp. He's appeared in 10 regular-season games in the NFL and has hauled in two of five targets for 32 yards.

Cut from practice squad The Bills cut Jenning from the practice squad Monday.

Impact A fourth-round pick by the Seahawks in 2019, Jennings has made pitstops in Miami, Baltimore and Buffalo. During that time, the West Virginia product suited up in just one game for the Dolphins last year.

Joins Bills' practice squad The Bills signed Jennings to the practice squad Wednesday.

Impact Jennings spent time on Baltimore's practice squad earlier this month, and he'll now get a chance to develop in Buffalo. The Bills are currently hurting at the wide receiver position, with Cole Beasley (knee) week-to-week and John Brown (undisclosed) on the COVID-19 list.

Surprisingly waived Jennings was waived by the Dolphins on Saturday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact The 2019 fourth-round pick by Seattle sure seemed like a shoe-in for a roster spot with the Dolphins absent any capable wide receivers tall than 6-foot besides DeVante Parker and Preston Williams. That evidently wasn't the case, however, with Jakeem Grant, Isaiah Ford and Mack Hollins expected to act as the primary depth behind the aforementioned two starters. It'll be interesting to see whether Jennings makes it through waivers or not, as a number of WR-needy teams could be interested in his services.

Needs strong offseason Jennings (shoulder) will be vying for a reserve role in the Dolphins' wideout corps during training camp, Omar Kelly of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact A 2019 fourth-round pick of the Seahawks, Jennings linked up with Miami last November after being claimed off waivers. He took the field in one contest with the Dolphins before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury. Jennings will now face the task of competing for a roster spot in the team's relatively deep receiver corps, where at least six other players rank ahead of him heading into camp. Impressing on special teams could increase the sophomore's chances of sticking around in Miami.
