Scratched in Week 15
Agnew (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Buccaneers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: Agnew missed two games earlier in the season with a groin injury, but he's otherwise been one of Atlanta's primary kick returners. Mike Hughes looks likely to take over those duties against Tampa Bay with Agnew sidelined.

Good to go Week 11
Agnew (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: Agnew ended Week 11 prep with back-to-back limited practices, and he has progressed enough in his recovery from a foot injury to play in Sunday's NFC South tilt. He has primarily served as a returner on special teams and has not recorded a target in seven regular-season games.

Questionable for Sunday
Agnew (foot) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The veteran wideout from San Diego upgraded from a DNP on Wednesday to limited sessions Thursday and Friday, suggesting he's trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's divisional matchup. Agnew has operated as the Falcons' top return man this season, recording 567 kick-return yards and 96 punt-return yards across seven games. If he's inactive in Week 11, Mike Hughes (neck, questionable) could operate as the team's top return specialist.

Limited participant in practice
Agnew (foot) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Tori McElhaney of the team's official website reports.
Analysis: Agnew upgraded to limited participation Thursday after not practicing Wednesday. With another limited or full practice Friday, the 30-year-old will have a good chance to play against the Panthers on Sunday. If he is available, Agnew's main contributions should come on special teams as a returner.

Out for Sunday
Agnew (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers.
Analysis: The veteran wideout was unable to practice all week after missing the Falcons' Week 2 win over the Vikings due to a groin injury, making it no surprise that he'll be sidelined Sunday. With both Agnew and Casey Washington (concussion) out in Week 3, KhaDarel Hodge is projected to play a larger role in Atlanta's wide receiver room. Additionally, Ray-Ray McCloud is likely to serve as the team's top kick and punt returner.

Ruled out for SNF
Agnew (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday night's game against the Vikings, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Analysis: Agnew was injured in the Falcons' Week 1 loss to the Bucs after returning a pair of kickoffs for 57 yards and two punts for 29 yards. Almost strictly a special teams player at this point in his career, Agnew hasn't caught a regular-season pass since 2023.

Optimistic after injury
Agnew said Monday that he "feels good" after injuring his groin in the third quarter of Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Buccaneers, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: Agnew played six snaps on special teams Sunday and finished with 57 kickoff-return yards and 29 punt-return yards. He's not in immediate danger of missing the Falcons' Week 2 game against the Vikings, but his practice participation over the coming week will be worth monitoring. Ray-Ray McCloud, Mike Hughes and Natrone Brooks would be candidates to handle return duties if Agnew is not cleared to play.

Dealing with groin injury
Agnew is questionable to return to Sunday's Week 1 game against Tampa Bay due to a groin injury, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: Agnew didn't play in any preseason games due to an oblique injury, and he's now dealing with a groin issue. He's a depth wideout for the Falcons, but his most prominent role is as a kick and punt returner. Ray-Ray McCloud, Mike Hughes and Natrone Brooks are candidates to work in the return game if Agnew can't return.

Past oblique injury
Agnew (oblique) was not listed on the Falcons' injury report Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: An oblique injury prevented Agnew from suiting up for any of the Falcons' three preseason games. His absence from Wednesday's injury report indicates that he's past the issue and on track to suit up for Sunday's regular-season opener against Tampa Bay. The veteran wideout is expected to see most of his playing time on special teams as a returner on kickoffs and punts.

Dealing with oblique injury
Coach Raheem Morris said Monday that Agnew is dealing with an oblique injury, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: It helps explain Agnew's absences from the Falcons' initial two preseason games. The veteran return man signed with Atlanta back in March and figures to see most of his playing time on special teams in 2025.

Yet to suit up in preseason
Agnew did not play in Friday's 23-20 preseason loss to the Titans.
Analysis: Agnew has been in street clothes for each of Atlanta's first two exhibitions, along with fellow wideouts Drake London, Darnell Mooney (shoulder), Ray-Ray McCloud and KhaDarel Hodge. Given Agnew has been part of that group, it's safe to assume the veteran will likely land a spot on the Falcons' initial 53-man roster. However, Agnew will probably be utilized more on special teams as a primary return man than on offense when everyone is healthy.

Signs with Atlanta
Agnew signed a one-year deal worth up to $2.5 million with the Falcons on Thursday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The returner and wide receiver spent time on Pittsburgh's practice squad last year after breaking his leg late in the 2023 campaign with Jacksonville. Agnew's career high for catches is just 24, recorded when he was with the Jaguars in 2021, but he does have six career return touchdowns on punts and kickoffs. The 2017 fifth-round pick of the Lions should have a chance to earn that type of role with the Falcons in 2025.

Back to practice squad
Agnew reverted to the Steelers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: Agnew was elevated to the Steelers' 53-man roster for Saturday's AFC wild-card game against the Ravens but was inactive for the contest. Agnew signed to the Steelers' practice squad Nov. 12 after fully recovering from a lower-leg injury that he suffered at the end of the 2023 regular season. The 2017 fifth-round pick will look to join a team in the offseason that is in need of depth at wide receiver and a return specialist for kickoffs and punts.

Elevated ahead of wild-card contest
Pittsburgh elevated Agnew from its practice squad to its active roster Saturday, Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Analysis: Agnew signed with the Steelers' practice squad in mid-November, and this is his first elevation of the season. The veteran wideout played in 11 games with Jacksonville last year, tallying 14 catches on 21 targets for 225 yards and a touchdown while losing two yards on four carries. Pittsburgh's wideout corps is relatively healthy, so Agnew isn't likely to see many opportunities Saturday in the wild-card matchup versus Baltimore.

Analysis: Agnew was hurt in the second quarter of Sunday's contest and was initially deemed questionable to return.

Agnew hurt his ankle in the first half of Sunday's game against Carolina and is questionable to return, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Analysis: Agnew was hurt after being tackled on a 48-yard reception late in the second quarter. He limped off the field with trainers and immediately headed into the medical tent. If Agnew is unable to return to the matchup, the Jaguars would need to replace him not only on offense but also on special teams, as he's been working as the team's primary kick and punt returner.

Cashes in long touchdown
Agnew caught both of his targets for 70 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 23-7 loss to the Ravens. He also returned three kickoffs for 91 yards and one punt for 17 yards.
Analysis: The veteran return man played just 10 offensive snaps but sparked the unit with a 65-yard touchdown in the third quarter for Jacksonville's lone score of the evening. Agnew missed the previous four games with a shoulder injury. He hasn't played a significant offensive role this season, but that could change down the stretch with Christian Kirk (groin) on injured reserve and Zay Jones (hamstring) again banged up.

Analysis: Agnew has spent the minimum of four weeks on IR and could return to action as soon as Sunday against the Ravens. However, the Jaguars will have a 21-day window to evaluate him in practice before he would need to be added to the 53-man roster or left on IR for the remainder of the season.

Lands on IR
Jacksonville placed Agnew (shoulder) on injured reserve Saturday.
Analysis: Agnew hurt his shoulder in this past Sunday's loss to San Francisco, and his move to IR means he'll need to sit out at least four games. The veteran wideout has worked as the Jaguars' primary kick and punt returner this season while also tallying nine catches on 12 targets for 90 yards as a receiver. Parker Washington (knee) was activated from IR in a corresponding move and could take Washington's place as both a return man and depth wideout.

Won't play Sunday
Agnew (shoulder) will not play Sunday against the Titans, according to head coach Doug Pederson, John Shipley of SI.com reports.
Analysis: Agnew was previously considered a long shot to play this week after suffering the injury in Sunday's loss to the 49ers, so this news isn't necessarily surprising. Pederson added that the 28-year-old could miss time beyond this week as well. With Parker Washington (knee) designated to return from IR and potentially suiting up Sunday, he'd likely be in line to take on return duties against Tennessee.

Could miss time
Agnew may be a long shot to play Sunday against the Titans after he suffered a shoulder injury in a Week 10 loss to the 49ers, Juston W. Lewis reports.
Analysis: Agnew should still be considered questionable for Week 11 after head coach Doug Pederson added that the team will see how he progresses throughout the week. The 28-year-old's potential absence on offense would likely have minimal impact, especially if Zay Jones (knee) were to return; however, the team would need to turn to Christian Kirk or D'Ernest Johnson for return duties on special teams.

Analysis: The veteran return man had four catches for 36 yards last week but wasn't involved in the passing game Sunday despite the continued absence of Zay Jones (knee).

Agnew (quadricep) is active for Sunday's game against the Bills in London.
Analysis: The quad injury kept Agnew from playing in the Jaguars' first game in London in Week 4 versus Atlanta, but he'll be back in action Sunday after turning in a trio of limited practices this week. In addition to Agnew, the Jaguars are getting Zay Jones (knee) back from a two-game absence, so the team's receiving corps will have all of its key contributors available Sunday.

Zay Jones (knee) also is listed as questionable after three consecutive capped practices. If Agnew suits up and Jones doesn't, the return man also could play a significant role on offense as Jacksonville's No. 3 wide receiver, but those relying on Agnew in fantasy will need to wake up early to check his status, as Sunday's game kicks off at 9:30 a.m. ET from London.

Coach Doug Pederson said Friday that Agnew (quadriceps) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup against Atlanta in London, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: While the Jaguars want to wait and see how Agnew feels ahead of kickoff, Pederson said he's optimistic the speedster will play. If Agnew is available, he could see increased snaps on offense for a second straight week due to Zay Jones (knee) being ruled out again. Agnew secured four of five targets for 49 yards during last week's loss to the Texans, temporarily putting him on the map as a deep-league option and cheap DFS play ahead of the 9:30 a.m. ET kickoff this Sunday.

Agnew had two carries for minus-2 yards, returned one kickoff for 20 yards and returned two punts for 58 yards during Sunday's 31-21 win against the Colts.
Analysis: The 28-year-old played just five offensive snaps as Christian Kirk, Calvin Ridley and Zay Jones dominated the playing time among Jacksonville's wideouts. Agnew delivered a 48-yard punt return during the fourth quarter to help set up a Jaguars touchdown, but he's unlikely to have much of an offensive role beyond gadget plays while the aforementioned trio remains healthy.

Agnew caught two of three targets for five yards, rushed once for two yards, returned three kickoffs for 131 yards and returned three punts for 23 yards during Saturday's 27-20 AFC divisional round loss to the Chiefs. He also lost a fumble.
Analysis: The 27-year-old had a 63-yard kick return during the first quarter and also lost a fumble on a short reception during the third quarter.

Catches another touchdown
Agnew caught all five of his targets for 37 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 28-27 win over the Ravens.
Analysis: The 27-year-old played only 15 offensive snaps, but he was on the same page with Trevor Lawrence on Sunday and caught a season-high five passes. Agnew doesn't have much fantasy appeal given his inconsistent role in Jacksonville's offense, though he is occasionally productive with 15 receptions for 119 yards and three touchdowns through nine games.

Involved in short-passing game
Agnew caught three of four targets for four yards, returned two kickoffs for 72 yards and returned one punt for 19 yards during Sunday's 27-17 loss at Kansas City.
Analysis: Agnew received multiple targets for the first time since Week 4, but he was unable to find any room to run on the short receptions. He played only seven offensive snaps and remains a distant No. 4 on the depth chart behind Christian Kirk, Zay Jones and Marvin Jones.

Deemed questionable for Sunday
Agnew (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against Las Vegas, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.
Analysis: Agnew was a limited participant at all three practices ahead of Week 9 and is listed as questionable for a second consecutive contest due a knee injury. If Agnew misses a third straight game, Christian Kirk will likely continue returning punts, while JaMycal Hasty and Chris Claybrooks share kick-return duties. Tim Jones would also be a candidate for a few extra offensive snaps, but Kirk, Zay Jones and Marvin Jones dominate the majority of the wideout snaps even when Agnew is available.

Agnew (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Analysis: Agnew logged a third consecutive limited practice Friday, so his status will likely come down to a game-time decision. Even if he plays, Agnew will likely have a limited role as Jacksonville's fourth-string wide receiver.

Agnew (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: After sitting out the Jaguars' Week 7 loss to the Giants, Agnew was able to take on some practice reps to begin Week 8 prep.

Catches two TDs in loss
Agnew caught four of six targets for 50 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 29-21 loss to Philadelphia. He also returned three kickoffs for 70 yards and two punts for eight yards.
Analysis: The 27-year-old played 18 of 47 offensive snaps with Zay Jones (ankle) inactive and took full advantage of his opportunities Sunday. Agnew scored the only two offensive touchdowns of the day for the Jaguars, and he also led the team in receptions and finished second to only Christian Kirk in targets and yards. Tim Jones actually played more offensive snaps (26) but was targeted only once, as Agnew clearly is the more trusted option among Jacksonville's depth wideouts.

Agnew caught his lone target for 17 yards and returned three punts for 18 yards during Sunday's 38-10 win over the Chargers.

Two touches on offense
Agnew rushed once for six yards, caught his lone target for six yards and returned one punt for two yards during Sunday's 28-22 loss at Washington.
Analysis: Between five kickoffs and three punts, the 27-year-old received only one opportunity in the return game, though he did garner a couple touches from scrimmage. Agnew finished fourth among Jacksonville's wideouts with seven offensive snaps, and he's unlikely to have much of a role beyond the return game while Christian Kirk, Marvin Jones and Zay Jones remain healthy.

Analysis: Agnew has been limited in camp after suffering a season-ending hip injury in Week 11 last season, which required surgery.

Recovery proceeding well
Agnew (hip) said last week on the Jag Roar Podcast that he's "feeling good" and is "probably a little bit ahead" of schedule in his recovery, Isaac Edelman of FLTeams.com reports.
Analysis: Agnew only appeared in 10 games with the Jaguars in 2021 before suffering a season-ending hip injury. Though Agnew officially was placed on injured reserve with the hip issue, he said he's spent the offseason recovering from a calf strain. The arrivals of Christian Kirk and Zay Jones could push Agnew further down the depth chart during the 2022 campaign, but he at the very minimum should contribute in the return game and as a rotational option out of the slot.

Slated to miss remainder of season
Agnew (hip) is expected to miss the remainder of the season after he was placed on injured reserve Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Agnew showed promise during his first season with the Jaguars, particularly after DJ Chark (ankle) went down. Across 10 games, the 2017 fifth-rounder hauled in 24 of 39 targets for 229 yards and a touchdown while rushing seven times for 111 yards and a touchdown. Agnew will now shift his focus toward preparing for 2022, but he could see less work if Chark is back to full health in time for the start of the season.

Agnew rushed three times for 79 yards and a touchdown, failed to bring in any of his five targets, returned four punts for 30 yards and ran back five kickoffs for 101 yards in the Jaguars' 23-17 loss to the Colts on Sunday.
Analysis: It was a busy afternoon for the versatile Agnew to say the least, with the 26-year-old scoring on a 66-yard touchdown scamper late in the first quarter and seeing a solid amount of targets that went for naught largely due to Trevor Lawrence's accuracy issues. Agnew has seemingly surpassed Laviska Shenault as the Jaguars' jack of all trades, as before Sunday's catch-less effort he'd recorded between three and six catches in four consecutive games.

Makes three catches
Agnew caught three passes for 27 yards on five targets against Buffalo on Sunday.
Analysis: It's a weak box score for Agnew, though it's fair to wonder if there was much he could control in a game where the Jacksonville passing game struggled profoundly against a strong Buffalo defense. Assuming the Jaguars make no personnel changes, Agnew appears poised to serve as Jacksonville's main slot receiver the rest of the year. Whether he can do much with his targets is a separate question, but the opportunities should be there to an appreciable degree.

Agnew caught six receptions for 38 yards and one touchdown on 12 targets against Seattle on Sunday.
Analysis: The garbage-time touchdown made Agnew useful for fantasy investors in the 31-7 loss, but six catches for 38 yards on 12 targets is dreadfully inefficient and casts a cloud over the otherwise encouraging target volume. Agnew has been busy in Jacksonville's offense since DJ Chark's season-ending injury, which led to Laviska Shenault shifting to the outside and allowed Agnew to take over in the slot.

Racks up 78 yards
Agnew recorded five receptions on six targets for 78 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over Miami.
Analysis: Agnew continued to benefit from the absence of DJ Chark (ankle), as he has seen six targets in each of the two full games since Chark has been sidelined. Agnew served as a big-play threat for the Jaguars, logging receptions of 29, 24, and 14 yards. While he benefited from Trevor Lawrence attempting a season-high 41 pass attempts, it seems clear that Agnew has carved out a role in the team's offensive attack.

Agnew had one carry for 11 yards, caught his lone target for 27 yards and returned one kickoff for 27 yards during Thursday's 24-21 loss to Cincinnati.
Analysis: Agnew actually saw his fewest offensive snaps of the season (eight) despite DJ Chark's early exit due to a broken ankle, but he ended up receiving his first two touches of the season. The 26-year-old is unlikely to benefit much from Chark's absence and should continue to primarily operate as Jacksonville's return specialist, as he already has two return touchdowns this season.

However, like Marvin Hall, Agnew at least remains a part of the game plan unlike Week 1 target monster Quintez Cephus.

Catches pass for no gain
Agnew secured his only target for no gain during Sunday's loss to Green Bay.
Analysis: Agnew again saw minimal playing time despite the continued absence of Kenny Golladay (hamstring). After transitioning to wide receiver from cornerback this offseason, he clearly remains a work in progress from an offensive standpoint. Furthermore, the high probability that his poor offensive performance played a large role in Matthew Stafford's pick-six won't help the return specialist's chances of seeing an increase in offensive playing time anytime soon.

Analysis: Agnew returned two kickoffs for 66 yards and one punt for 16 yards, but he only saw 15 snaps on offense and wasn't used on any gadget plays. If Kenny Golladay (hamstring) is able to return in Week 2, Agnew is a good bet to see a significant reduction in playing time.

Listed as RB and WR
Agnew is listed as a running back and a wide receiver on the Lions' initial 53-man roster.
Analysis: The Lions initially used Agnew at cornerback for the first couple years of his professional career, but they switched him to offense this offseason and the team apparently likes what he can do with the ball in his hands, which isn't really a surprise given Agnew's proficiency as a return man. While he may not get consistent touches at either wide receiver or running back given Detroit's depth at each position, his versatility could come in handy on gadget plays.

Moving to wide receiver
Agnew will work as a wide receiver once the Lions begin practice, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Analysis: A 2017 fifth-round pick, Agnew returned both kicks and punts the past three seasons, scoring four touchdowns on special teams. He's played 30 snaps on offense and 207 on defense, mostly serving as an emergency option at cornerback. Agnew has been attending virtual meetings with both the wide receivers and cornerbacks this spring, but the Lions want him to focus on offense over the summer, likely preparing for a part-time gadget role. There doesn't appear to be an opening for regular snaps or…read more

Won't play Week 14
Agnew (ankle) is officially inactive for Sunday's game versus Minnesota.
Analysis: Agnew will miss his third consecutive contest while tending to the ankle issue, despite working as a full practice participant Friday. With the 24-year-old suprisingly sidelined, Ty Johnson and Danny Amendola should assume return duties, with Rashaan Melvin operating as the team's No. 3 cornerback for Week 14.

Questionable Week 14
Agnew (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game at Minnesota, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Analysis: Agnew missed the last two games with the ankle injury, but he appears on track to return after working as a full practice participant Friday. Assuming the 24-year-old is able to suit up, he should reclaim his role as the team's primary kick and punt returner.

Will miss second straight game
Agnew (ankle) is ruled out for Thursday's matchup against the Bears.
Analysis: Agnew didn't practice for the second straight week, so he'll look to leverage the "mini-bye" from playing on the weekday to get healthy for Week 14's clash against the Vikings. The third-year pro is mainly used as a kick returner, so the Lions may deploy Ty Johnson to fill that role in Agnew's place.

Gets hurt Sunday
Agnew (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Analysis: It's unclear how Agnew picked up the injury, but he was forced to leave the game late in the fourth quarter. As long as he's sidelined, look for Marvin Hall to take over kick and punt return duties. It's likely Agnew won't return, so look for an update on the injury following the game or in the coming days.
