Let go by Jacksonville The Jaguars cut Funk from the practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Returns to practice squad Funk reverted to the Jaguars' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Impact Funk was active, but did not play in the team's 30-27 loss to the Packers in Week 8. He operated as a depth option behind Tank Bigsby and D'Ernest Johnson at running back against Green Bay and could do so again Sunday in Philadelphia if Travis Etienne (hamstring) remains unavailable.

Elevated to face Packers The Jaguars elevated Funk from the practice squad Saturday, ahead of Sunday's home matchup against the Packers, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Impact Funk's elevation from the practice squad may indicate that Travis Etienne (hamstring), who is considered a game-time decision, is trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's contest against Green Bay. Even if Etienne can't suit up Week 8, though, Tank Bigsby and D'Ernest Johnson will rank clearly ahead of Funk on the backfield depth chart, leaving him with only a path to a reserve role.

Reverts to practice squad Funk reverted to the Jaguars' practice squad Monday.

Impact Funk was elevated ahead of Sunday's matchup versus the Patriots to provide extra depth as Travis Etienne was sidelined with a hamstring injury. However, Funk ended up not seeing any playing time as Tank Bigsby and D'Ernest Johnson handled all the snaps at running back.

Elevated ahead of Week 7 The Jaguars elevated Funk from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Impact Funk was unable to make the Lions' 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but he managed to catch on with the Jaguars' practice squad Oct. 1. His elevation to the active roster gives the Jags some insurance in the backfield in case Travis Etienne (hamstring) cannot play Sunday against the Patriots. If Etienne is inactive, Funk would serve as Jacksonville's No. 3 running back behind Tank Bigsby and D'Ernest Johnson.

Finds new opportunity Funk signed with the Jaguars' practice squad Tuesday.

Impact Funk spent training camp with the Lions but wasn't able to secure a 53-man roster spot. He's been a free agent since, but he'll now have a chance to make an impression in Jacksonville. In a corresponding move, the Jaguars cut fellow running back Jalen Jackson from the practice squad.

Misses out on roster spot Funk was waived by the Lions on Tuesday.

Impact Funk got some early-season run in the NFL with the Colts last year but was used mostly on special teams. He was cut by Indianapolis in early October, then had stints on the Dolphins' and Ravens' practice squads. Funk struggled to find running room for the Lions during the preseason, gaining just 62 yards on 22 carries, and he also hauled in three of nine targets for 29 yards and a touchdown in the passing game.

Joins Ravens' practice squad The Ravens signed Funk to their practice squad Tuesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Impact With rookie Keaton Mitchell now out for the rest of the season with a ruptured ACL, Baltimore felt it necessary to add some depth at running back ahead of Week 16. Gus Edwards and Justice Hill are currently the only healthy halfbacks on the Ravens' active roster, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Funk get elevated from the practice squad as soon as Monday.

Joins 53-man roster Funk was signed to the Colts' active roster from their practice squad Tuesday.

Inks to practice squad The Colts signed Funk to the practice squad Thursday.

Headed to New Orleans Funk signed with the Saints' practice squad Wednesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Funk was waived by the Rams on Tuesday after playing just one offensive snap in the team's crowded running backs corps this season. However, the 2021 seventh-round pick could get a chance to record his first carry of the season as a potential game-day elevation for the Saints, as No. 1 running back Alvin Kamara has been in and out of the lineup with a rib injury this season. Funk also played 74 special-teams snaps over five games in 2022, which could also help his cause for a promotion to the active roster.
