Goes back to practice squad Cager reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact The 25-year-old was elevated for the third game in a row, as he continued to serve as the Giants' top tight end with Daniel Bellinger (eye) still sidelined Week 11. As a result, Cager logged season highs in receptions (two), receiving yards (20) and targets (three) while playing the vast majority of New York's offensive snaps (56) ahead of Tanner Hudson (12) and Chris Myarick (eight). While this outing marked Cager's last available elevation from the Giants' practice squad, he's likely played himself into a spot on the team's active roster.

Records 20 receiving yards in loss Cager caught two passes on three targets for 20 yards in Sunday's Week 11 loss to the Lions.

Impact Cager didn't do anything exceptional on offense, but he was the only Giants tight end with a target in the contest. The 25-year-old has emerged as New York's top tight end with four catches for 29 yards and a touchdown over the past two weeks, but his opportunities could take a significant hit if Daniel Bellinger (eye) is able to return to action on Thanksgiving against Dallas.

Elevated to active roster The Giants elevated Cager from their practice squad Saturday for Sunday's matchup against the Lions.

Impact Cager will be active for a third straight game. The undrafted tight end caught both of his targets for nine yards and a touchdown across 44 offensive snaps in Week 10. It appears Cager has jumped ahead of Chris Myarick and Tanner Hudson on the depth chart during Daniel Bellinger's (eye) absence, but his fantasy potential is likely still dependent on finding the end zone.

Lands back on practice squad Cager reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact The fourth-year tight end was elevated for the second straight week during Sunday's win over Houston, playing 45 of the Giants' 69 offensive snaps ahead of Chris Myarick (16) and Tanner Hudson (11). With Daniel Bellinger still out due to an eye injury, Cager has quickly risen up the Giants' tight-end depth chart since joining the team's practice squad Oct. 18, as he caught both targets for nine yards and a touchdown against the Texans. Cager figures to continue suiting up so long as Bellinger remains sidelined, though he'll only be eligible for one more practice-squad elevation before requiring a full roster spot moving forward.

Scores first NFL touchdown Cager hauled in both of his targets for nine yards and a touchdown in Sunday's Week 10 win over the Texans.

Impact Prior to Sunday, Cager had seen action in only two games this season and hadn't caught a pass since his rookie 2020 campaign. As such, it's reasonable to assume that few had the 25-year-old tabbed as scoring the game's first touchdown, but that's just what he did when he hauled in a nine-yard score midway through the first quarter. Cager has been activated from the practice squad for each of New York's past two games, but it's uncertain if he'll have a role if Daniel Bellinger (eye) returns to action in Week 11.

Up from practice squad The Giants elevated Cager from their practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus the Texans, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Impact With regular starting tight end Daniel Bellinger (eye) out for Week 10, the Giants saw fit to elevate Cager to the 53-man roster for a second consecutive week. Cager has seen just two targets through two games in 2022.

Returns to practice squad Monday Cager reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact With Daniel Bellinger (eye) out, Cager was elevated to the active roster for Week 8 and operated as the third tight end behind Tanner Hudson and Chris Myarick. Cager played 12 of 65 offensive snaps but failed to haul in his only target. As long as Bellinger remains sidelined, Cager figures to be a likely candidate for elevation.

Elevated to active roster The Giants elevated Cager from their practice squad to the active roster Saturday for Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Impact Cager signed a practice-squad deal with the Giants in mid-October after being waived by the Jets. The 6-foot-5, 220-pound tight end started the season opener for the Jets but failed to haul in his only target and didn't see the field after Week 1. With Daniel Bellinger (eye) out, the Giants are expected to rotate tight ends frequently, but it remains unclear how big Cager's role will be during his first appearance with the Giants.

Joining the Giants' practice squad The Giants signed Cager to their practice squad Tuesday, Michael Eisen of the team's official site reports.

Impact Cager is slated to join the other New York team, after he was let go by the Jets on Saturday. In his only action in 2022, the 6-foot-5, 220-pound tight end started the season opener against the Ravens but failed to catch his lone target. Cager will now serve as an emergency depth option for the Giants' tight end group.

OCTOBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Goes to waivers The Jets waived Cager on Saturday.

Impact Cager signed with the Jets back in January, but he'll now become a free agent assuming he isn't claimed by another team during the current waiver period. The 25-year-old tight end has appeared in just four games in his NFL career.

Signs contract with Jets The Jets signed Cager to a reserve/futures contract Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Cager spent the 2021 season on and off of the Browns' practice squad before signing a new contract with the Jets for the 2022 campaign. The wide receiver will return to the team he was with in 2020, a year in which he appeared in two games and made two catches for 35 yards.

Impact The wide receiver was cut Friday but will return to the team's practice squad Tuesday. Cager has been on the active roster twice this season and failed to log a catch.

Inactive Monday Cager (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's game against the Raiders, Anthony Poisal of the Browns' official site reports.

Impact Cager was signed to the Browns' active roster ahead of Week 15, but he'll be a healthy scratch against Las Vegas. Since Jarvis Landry (illness) will be sidelined, Donovan Peoples-Jones, Rashard Higgins and Anthony Schwartz are in line to serve as the team's top receivers.
