Joins Titans' practice squad
Tennessee signed Morgan to its practice squad Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Morgan was cut by New Orleans prior to Week 1, but now he's found a new opportunity with a different team. It might take an injury for him to be elevated to the active roster before the end of the season, though.

Let go by Saints
Morgan was released by the Saints on Tuesday.
Analysis: Morgan reeled in four catches for 47 yards during the preseason after signing with New Orleans in March. The wide receiver has appeared in at least three games in each of his five prior NFL seasons, all with Cincinnati, and he'll now look for a new opportunity elsewhere.

Logs one catch in preseason opener
Morgan (hip) caught one of four targets for 13 yards during Saturday's 16-14 preseason win against the Cardinals.
Analysis: Morgan was dealing with a hip injury leading into Saturday's exhibition, but he managed to play 31 offensive snaps and should be healthy moving forward. The 27-year-old first got on the field in the second quarter and was out there for the final offensive series of the game, and he ended up tied with No.1 wideout Chris Olave and second-year wideout A.T. Perry for a team high in targets. Morgan's availability should help him in his goal of making the final 53-man roster, as fellow wideouts…read more

Signing with New Orleans
The Saints have agreed to terms with Morgan, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: Over the course of 51 regular-season games (all with the Bengals) Morgan has caught just five passes for 29 yards. This coming season, the 27-year-old, who was born in New Orleans, will provide the Saints with some needed depth at wideout and on special teams.

Back with active roster
The Bengals elevated Morgan to their active roster Saturday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Analysis: Morgan was elevated to Cincinnati's active roster to ensure depth at wide receiver due to Tee Higgins (hamstring) being likely to miss the team's season finale. The 27-year-old Morgan has already appeared in two games for the Bengals this season, failing to record a stat while playing 34 total snaps (four offensive and 30 on special teams).

Reverts to practice squad
Morgan reverted to Cincinnati's practice squad Monday.
Analysis: Morgan was called up for action with Tee Higgins out with a hamstring injury and saw playing on both offense and special teams but failed to record any stats in Sunday's loss to the Texans.

Elevated Saturday
The Bengals promoted Morgan from their practice squad Saturday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Analysis: The 27-year-old wideout has bounced back and forth from Cincinnati's active roster and practice squad over the past four years, and he'll likely add depth on special teams this Sunday. Morgan has appeared in 48 games throughout his career, recording only five receptions for 29 yards.

Returns to Cincinnati
The Bengals signed Morgan to the practice squad Wednesday.
Analysis: Morgan has been topped 100 special-teams snaps in each of his first four seasons in the league, all of which have come in Cincinnati. It wouldn't be a surprise for him to ultimately spend plenty of time on the roster, but he'll have to start his season in a supporting role.

Cut by Bengals
The Bengals released Morgan on Tuesday, Geoff Hobson of the team's official website reports.
Analysis: Morgan has been a core special teams member for the Bengals since joining the league in 2019. However, the team has opted to go in a more youthful direction in that department, and the 26-year-old is a casualty of that decision. It remains to be seen if he will be kept around on the team's practice squad or have to look for a fresh start somewhere else.

Finishes 2022 without reception
Morgan played five snaps on offense and 21 on special teams in Sunday's 27-16 win over the Ravens, accruing no statistics during the contest.
Analysis: Morgan saw snaps on offense during all 14 of his appearances of the regular season, but never more than 10 on any occasion. He drew just one incomplete target over that stretch to finish without a reception for the season. Morgan will likely continue to see most of his playing time on special teams during Cincinnati's upcoming playoff run.

Morgan (hamstring) does not carry an injury designation into the Bengals' Week 9 matchup with the Panthers.

Analysis: Morgan has missed back-to-back games due to a hamstring injury, but he's trending in the right direction after returning to practice Wednesday.

Won't play Monday night
Morgan (hamstring) is listed as out for Monday's game at Cleveland.

Remains sidelined Thursday
Morgan did not practice due to a hamstring injury Thursday, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Morgan popped up as a non-participant during practice last Thursday and Friday before missing his first game of the season in Sunday's win over the Falcons. While the severity of this issue is still unclear, the 26-year-old may be at risk of missing his second contest in a row this Monday against Cleveland. Morgan failed to haul in his lone target while playing 25 offensive snaps so far this season, though he could see increased usage with top wideout Ja'Marr Chase expected to miss 4-6 weeks…read more

Plays early in preseason finale
Morgan caught one of two targets for 32 yards in Saturday's 16-7 preseason win over the Rams.
Analysis: The first pass thrown Morgan's way was an incompletion on the opening drive, but it was a good sign for his standing on the depth chart that he was used early in the game. Morgan then opened the second possession with a 32-yard catch. He's likely to remain on the team in a depth role when the Bengals trim their roster down to 53 players for the regular season.

Back with Cincinnati
Morgan signed a two-year contract with the Bengals on Monday, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.
Analysis: Morgan didn't factor much into the team's passing game a season ago, and he likely will serve as receiver depth and a solid special-teams option in 2022. During his first three seasons with Cincinnati, he's tallied five receptions for 29 yards on 14 total targets and has one rushing attempt for three yards. Morgan also finished with 22 yards as a kick returner a season ago.

Set to become free agent
Morgan won't be tendered by the Bengals, so he'll become a free agent when the new league year starts March 16, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.
Analysis: Morgan appeared in all 17 of the Bengals' regular-season games last year, but he wasn't a factor during their playoff run due to a hamstring issue. Regardless, he operated mostly on special teams and caught just two of four targets for 11 yards during the 2021 campaign. It's unclear what type of market the 25-year-old wideout will garner in free agency.

Limited all week
Morgan (hamstring) remained limited at practice Friday, Tyler Dragon of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Morgan was listed as a limited practice participant all week and if the Bengals were playing this Sunday, the wideout would have been listed as questionable. However, with the Super Bowl not until Feb. 13, Morgan has a chance to return to practice fully in advance of the contest. If that happens, he could head into next weekend minus an injury designation.

Dealing with hamstring issue
Morgan (hamstring) was limited at practice Thursday and Friday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Morgan has missed all three of the Bengals' previous postseason matchups due to a lingering hamstring injury. However, the positive news is that the wideout has finally been able to return to practice, albeit in limited fashion. He's mostly operated on special teams this season, so his status shouldn't impact Cincinnati's offensive game plan.

To sit out finale
Morgan (concussion) is inactive Week 17 against Cleveland, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

Officially doubtful
Morgan (concussion) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's season finale against the Browns, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Morgan won't be eligible to take the field Week 17 unless he fully clears the league's five-step protocol for brain injuries, and the Bengals have little reason to rush the Nebraska product back to action.
