Elevated for Thursday Night Football
The Jets elevated Bawden from their practice squad ahead of Thursday's game versus Cleveland, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Bawden has been on the Jets' active roster for most of the campaign, though he was released, signed to the practice squad, elevated and made inactive prior to last Sunday's win over Washington.

Bawden is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles with a calf injury.
Analysis: After sitting out the Jets' first Week 6 practice Wednesday, Bawden upgraded to limited participation Thursday and then full activity Friday.

Re-signs after release
Bawden re-signed with the Jets on Thursday after the team released him Tuesday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Bawden's return isn't exactly surprising, as the Jets didn't have a true fullback on the 53-man roster following his release. After missing the entire 2022 season, Bawden will work to bounce back in 2023. He stands to contribute mostly as a blocker, opening up lanes for Breece Hall (knee) and Dalvin Cook.

Re-signs with New York
The Jets re-signed Bawden (undisclosed) on Monday, Howard Balzer of GoPHNX.com reports.
Analysis: Bawden missed the entirety of the 2022 season with an undisclosed injury but will look to bounce back next season. Currently the only fullback on the roster, the 26-year-old should have the opportunity to help open up holes for Breece Hall and the rest of the Jets backfield next year in addition to providing value as a special teamer.

Analysis: Bawden was shuffled between the Jets' practice squad and the active roster last year, and he played mainly on special teams. He didn't record any carries but hauled in his lone target for 20 yards while appearing in nine games.

Shut down for season
Bawden (knee) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.
Analysis: Bawden's season is over after he suffered a knee injury during this past Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. The second-year fullback averaged 12.7 offensive snaps per game this year, catching four of six targets for 17 yards. The Lions don't have another fullback on their active or practice rosters, so they may choose to fill the void via a free agent.

Analysis: Bawden popped up on the injury report with a foot injury Saturday, but, as evidenced by this news, seems to be dealing with a new issue. The 2018 seventh-round pick is the team's only fullback on the roster, so it's unclear how the offense will approach things while Bawden is sidelined.

Now questionable for Week 11
Bawden (foot) has been added to the Lions' injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
