Miles Boykin - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Retires from NFL Boykin announced he is retiring from the NFL Wednesday, Steve Rudden reports.

Impact The former 2019 third-round pick spent the first three seasons of his career with the Ravens before signing with Pittsburgh in 2022. Boykin hasn't played in a game since 2023, but was a part of the Bears' practice squad up until early November of the 2025 season. The 29-year-old finishes with 38 receptions for 498 yards and seven touchdowns in five seasons.

Cut from Chicago's practice squad The Bears cut Boykin from the practice squad Saturday.

Impact Boykin stuck around in Chicago on the practice squad after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He wasn't elevated to the active roster during the first half of the regular season, and now that he's been cut, he'll look to join a team in need of wide receiver depth and a contributor on special teams. Boykin last saw regular-season action in 2023 with the Steelers, when he played all 17 games and logged three catches (on four targets) for 17 yards while mostly playing on special teams.

Staying with Chicago Boykin landed on the Bears' practice squad Wednesday.

Impact The wide receiver was let go by the team Tuesday despite a strong training camp and preseason. Given his performance in camp, Boykin's signing to the practice squad is perhaps not a surprise, though he faces an uphill battle for a roster spot during the regular season due to Chicago's depth at wide receiver. The 2019 third-round pick of the Ravens spent time on multiple practice squads in 2024 but never appeared in a regular-season game.

Let go by Chicago The Bears released Boykin on Tuesday.

Impact Boykin put together a strong training camp and preseason with Chicago, but he was always facing an uphill battle to earn a spot on the 53-man roster due to the team's depth at wide receiver. He'll be a candidate to end up on the Bears' practice squad.

One grab in win Boykin recorded an eight-yard reception in the Bears' 29-27 preseason win over the Chiefs on Friday.

Impact Boykin has had a strong camp for the Bears, placing him on the roster bubble as the team looks to set their 53-man roster. Despite his solid play in August, Boykin would likely settle in as the No. 6 receiver if he makes the team.

Dealing with ankle injury Boykin (ankle) was held out of practice Sunday with an ankle injury, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Boykin was unable to give it a go at practice Sunday, which places some doubt on his chances to play in the team's preseason opener Aug. 10 versus Miami. The wide receiver signed with the Bears in April after spending the majority of the 2024 campaign with the Seahawks' practice squad, failing to appear in a regular-season game for the first time since 2019.

Lands deal with Chicago Boykin signed with the Bears on Thursday.

Impact Boykin bounced between a few practice squads in 2024 and failed to appear in a game for the season since he was drafted in 2019. If he does crack the Bears' roster in 2025, it will almost certainly be as a special teams contributor.

Joins Seahawks' practice squad The Seahawks signed Boykin to their practice squad Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Impact Boykin was cut from the Giants' practice squad at the beginning of September, but he's now found a new opportunity in Seattle. The 2019 third-round pick's most recent in-game action came with the Steelers in 2023, when he appeared in 17 regular-season games, playing primarily on special teams (314 snaps).

Loses spot Boykin was cut from the Giants' practice squad Monday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Boykin was the odd man out in a series of movies that saw Jakob Johnson released from the 53-man roster, Adoree' Jackson signed to it, and then Johnson re-signed to the practice squad. The 27-year-old will work to find a new opportunity, but his lack of success over the past three seasons and inability to live up to his third-round selection in the 2019 NFL Draft may make things difficult for the Notre Dame product.

Impact Boykin logged his first catch since Week 2 during Thursday's matchup, but he still had minimal production against Tennessee. Unless several of the Steelers' receivers are unavailable at some point, Boykin isn't a fantasy-relevant option.
