INJURIES

'You never get comfortable': Panthers WR Javon Wims on life on the roster bubble Wims has bounced around and has just 28 receptions since being drafted in 2018. Could he stick with the Panthers this season?
AUGUST 23, 2023 • THEATHLETIC.COM
Panthers Sign WR Javon Wims The roster is back to 90.
JULY 27, 2023 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM
Inks new deal with Arizona The Cardinals signed Wims to a reserve/future contract Monday, Howard Balzer of GoPHNX.com reports.
Impact Wims signed with the Cardinals' practice squad during Week 2 and was elevated for one game over the course of the season. However, he did not record a statistic during this Week 5 contest, and the 28-year-old now has not logged a target since the 2020 season. Wims will look to secure an active roster spot heading into the 2023 season.
JANUARY 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Moves back down to practice squad Wims reverted to the Cardinals' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Impact Wims was promoted to the active roster for the first time this season during Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Seahawks. However, 28-year-old was never targeted while playing five of Arizona's 71 offensive snaps. Wims will now be eligible for two more elevations while on the Cardinals' practice squad this season.
OCTOBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Suiting up at Seattle Arizona elevated Wims from the practice squad to its active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game at the Seahawks.
Impact Wims will likely make his 2022 debut in Week 6 with Antoine Wesley (quadriceps) now on the injured reserve list. The Georgia product is another big-bodied receiver who can mimic some of the same offensive functions as Wesley.
OCTOBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Heads to Arizona Wims signed with the Cardinals' practice squad Thursday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
Impact Wims will join Arizona's practice squad after the team also released fellow wideout JaVonta Payton on Thursday. The 28-year-old hauled in 28 of his 56 targets for 266 yards and two scores over 33 regular-season games with Chicago from 2018 to 2020, and he will likely serve as a potential gameday elevation for the Cardinals moving forward this season.

Fields throws 3 TD passes in half, Bears edge Browns 21-20

Justin Fields threw three touchdown passes in the first half, leading the Chicago Bears to a 21-20 win in their exhibition finale over Cleveland
AUGUST 28, 2022 • Associated Press
Activated off NFI list Wims (undisclosed) was removed from the active/non-football illness list Saturday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Impact Though it's unclear what illness Wims was dealing with, it seems to have been of little concern, as he's expected to resume practicing again soon. The 6-foot-4 receiver spent all of last season on the Raiders' practice squad, but he will attempt to participate in more in-game action this year with Cleveland. Wims is now playing for his third NFL team since he was drafted in 2018, and he will battle with Ja'Marcus Bradley, Michael Woods (knee) and Mike Harley for a roster spot.

Browns place Ward, Conklin on active/PUP list as camp opens

Pro Bowl cornerback Denzel Ward will start Cleveland's training camp on the sideline after being placed on the active/physically unable to perform list as the Browns await the NFL’...
JULY 26, 2022 • Associated Press
Moves to NFI list Cleveland placed Wims (undisclosed) on the active/non-football illness list Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Impact It's unclear what Wims' illness is or when he might be expected to return. He hasn't seen game action since 2020, so if he makes it back before Week 1 he'll have to compete to make the roster, even in a seemingly thin Browns wide receiver room.
JULY 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Signs new contract with Raiders The Raiders signed Wims to a reserve/future contract Wednesday.
Impact Wims spent the 2021 season as a member of the Raiders' practice squad but was not active for any contests before being cut Tuesday. The wide receiver will now return to Las Vegas for the 2022 campaign and have another opportunity to contribute to the team's offensive gameplan.
JANUARY 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Wasn't claimed on waivers Wims went unclaimed on waivers Friday, independent NFL journalist Aaron Wilson reports.
Impact Wims had been dealing with an oblique injury during training camp, but he was not designated with an injury as he was waived. The 2018 seventh-round pick is probably best known for throwing punches at Saints cornerback C.J. Gardner-Johnson in the middle of a game, which led to a two-game suspension. His future in the NFL is uncertain.

Bears waive receiver Javon Wims

The Chicago Bears have waived receiver Javon Wims
AUGUST 26, 2021 • Associated Press
Roster Moves: Bears waive Wims, re-sign Ruffin The Bears on Thursday waived fourth-year receiver Javon Wims and re-signed undrafted rookie cornerback Dionte Ruffin.
AUGUST 26, 2021 • CHICAGOBEARS.COM
Waived by Bears The Bears waived Wims (oblique) on Thursday.
Impact The 2018 seventh-round pick spent three-plus years with the team that drafted him, catching 28 passes for 266 yards and two touchdowns in 33 regular-season games. At this point, Wims probably is best known for throwing punches at Saints cornerback C.J. Gardner-Johnson in the middle of a game, which led to a two-game suspension.
AUGUST 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Dealing with oblique injury Wims will not practice Monday due to an oblique strain, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Impact Wims was facing tough competition for a roster spot even before Chicago's recent signing of Isaiah Coulter, and with roster cuts right around the corner, the timing of his oblique injury couldn't be much worse. Wims appeared in 13 games for the Bears in 2020 and hauled in six of 12 targets for 48 yards and one touchdown.
AUGUST 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
No lock to make team Wims is in a camp battle with Riley Ridley Rodney Adams and Chris Lacy for a roster spot, Adam Jahns of The Athletic reports.
Impact Wims played just 17 snaps in the season opener and was targeted once, resulting in an incomplete pass, and he also was flagged for a false start penalty on a third-down play. During his three years with the Bears, he's had opportunities to be in the starting lineup, but he hasn't posted more than 186 yards and one touchdown in a season. To make the team, he'll likely need to show well on special teams, and if he makes the squad, he's unlikely to be higher than fifth on the team's depth chart at wide receiver.

AUGUST 12, 2021 • Associated Press
Injured in practice Saturday Wims left Saturday's practice early due to an undisclosed injury, Jeff Dickerson of ESPN.com reports.
Impact The nature and severity of Wims' injury remain unknown at this point, but Wims will want to heal up quickly since he's likely to be near the roster bubble. Further updates on the wide receiver's status should surface before Chicago's Aug. 14 preseason opener.

Drop, ejection and penalties sink Bears in playoff loss
