RYAN IZZO NEWS

Released by Panthers Izzo was released after the Panthers added Josh Watson to their roster, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Impact After posting 313 yards with the Patriots between 2019 and 2020, Izzo played in one game last year for the Titans. He was signed by the Panthers on Aug. 11 but was let go in less than one week. He'll look to catch on as a depth option elsewhere.

Clears COVID-19 list Izzo was activated from the Seahawks' practice squad/COVID-19 list Monday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Placed on practice squad COVID list The Seahawks placed Izzo on the practice squad COVID-19 list Tuesday after he tested positive for the virus, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Joins Seattle's practice squad Izzo has reached an agreement to sign with the Seahawks' practice squad, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

Impact Izzo will join Seattle in hopes of adding some depth to the Seahawks' thin tight end room. With Gerald Everett now on the team's COVID list, Will Dissly will become the primary tight end option, while Tyler Mabry will be the backup. Izzo could be activated to Seattle's roster if it loses any more depth at the position.

Cut from practice squad The Giants cut Izzo from the practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

No resolution to Watson dilemma as he stays on Texans roster

Quarterback Deshaun Watson remained on the active roster as the Houston Texans made cuts to reduce their roster to 53 players

AUGUST 31, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Heads to waivers The Texans waived Izzo on Monday, independent NFL journalist Aaron Wilson reports.

Impact Izzo averaged 52 snaps over 12 games with the Patriots last season, but he was targeted just 20 times and finished with 13 receptions for 199 yards. If he clears waivers, he'll likely land on the practice squad.

Plays 17 snaps against Tampa Izzo (undisclosed) logged 17 snaps in Saturday's preseason loss to the Buccaneers, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Izzo left the Texans' preseason opener against the Packers with an undisclosed injury and there hadn't been any news on him since. However, his ability to suit up Saturday confirms he's clear of whatever issue he was dealing with. If he makes the final roster, expectations for Izzo should be tempered heading into the season, considering he slots in third on the tight-end depth chart for a team expected to struggle offensively throughout the campaign.

Traded to Houston The Patriots are trading Izzo to the Texans for a 2022 seventh-round draft pick, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Izzo caught 13 passes on 626 offensive snaps for the Patriots last season, struggling to command targets even when he had a three-down role in a pathetic passing offense. A neck injury sent him to IR in December.
