News

  • Moves to IR

    Webster (groin) was placed on injured reserve by the Bears on Saturday.

    Analysis: The wide receiver will need to reach an injury settlement with the team to have a chance to play in 2024. Webster injured the groin during Thursday night's preseason win over the Chiefs. The 28-year-old has two catches for 14 yards in 29 career games.

  • Injures groin Thursday

    Webster suffered a groin injury in Thursday night's preseason win over the Chiefs, Scott Bair of the Bears' official site reports.

    Analysis: Coach Matt Eberflus said after the game that Webster would need further evaluation. Prior to exiting, Webster caught three of his four targets for 68 yards. He finished the preseason with five catches for 87 yards.

  • Staying in Chicago

    The Bears signed Webster to a reserve/future contract Monday, Larry Mayer of the team's official website reports.

    Analysis: Webster spent the entire year on Chicago's practice squad. He has been with the team three years overall and suited up for eight total games over the previous two seasons. The 27-year-old will now use the offseason as an opportunity to earn a bigger role with the team.

  • Returns to Chicago

    Webster is signing with the Bears' practice squad Wednesday, Colleen Kane of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Webster was let go by Chicago on Tuesday but will rejoin the team's practice squad a day later. He's made eight appearances for the Bears over the last two seasons and is a candidate to join the active roster in 2023 if the team needs additional receiving depth at some point.

  • Expected to be cut

    The Bears are expected to waive Webster on Monday, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Webster has bounced back and forth between the Bears' practice squad and active roster several times over the previous two years. He is considered a strong candidate to again land on the team's practice squad. The 27-year-old has occasionally returned punts during his two-year stint with the Bears and has also accumulated two receptions for 14 yards.

  • Staying in Chicago

    The Bears signed Webster to a reserve/future contract Monday, Larry Mayer of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Webster was waived as part of Chicago's final roster cuts in late August before quickly re-joining via the practice squad. The fourth-year wideout then remained idle on the practice squad before being elevated in back-to-back games Week 15 and 16, recording the first two receptions of his career over during this span. Webster has now appeared in eight games over the past two seasons for the Bears, and he'll likely compete for another depth and special-teams role heading into the 2023 season.

  • Back down to practice squad

    Webster was sent down to Chicago's practice squad Monday.

    Analysis: One week after playing the fourth-most snaps among Bears wide receivers, Webster was relegated to work on special teams, playing a total seven snaps. It's possible Webster might be elevated again in the future, but much of that will depend on the status of Chase Claypool (knee) and Equanimeous St. Brown (concussion).

  • Elevated to active roster again

    Chicago elevated Webster from its practice squad to the active roster Friday ahead of Saturday's game against Buffalo, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.

    Analysis: With Chase Claypool (knee) doubtful and Equanimeous St. Brown (concussion) out for Saturday's matchup, Webster will be elevated to the active roster for a second consecutive week. The undrafted wideout out of Eastern Washington caught two of three targets for 14 yards across 10 offensive snaps during last week's loss to Philadelphia, marking his first career NFL receptions. Given Chicago's depleted wideout corps, Webster figures to garner a similar role in Week 16.

  • Shifts back to practice squad

    Webster reverted to Chicago's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Analysis: Webster was activated for the first time after spending the first 14 weeks of the season on the Bears' practice squad, as Chase Claypool (knee) and N'Keal Harry (coach's decision) were both inactive Sunday versus Philadelphia. With starting wideout Equanimeous St. Brown forced out early with a concussion, the 5-foot-10 Webster went on to catch two of his three targets for 14 yards. However, he still played the fourth-most offensive snaps of the team's wideouts behind Byron Pringle (53), Dante…read more

  • Records first NFL receptions

    Webster caught two passes for 14 yards in the Bears' 25-20 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

    Analysis: Primarily a special-teams player during this three years in the league, Webster came into this game having played just nine offensive snaps over 27 career games. If the Bears continue to have wide receivers miss games due to injury, he could continue to see snaps at receiver. Unless his role grows, his fantasy value will remain minimal.

  • Will be available vs. Philadelphia

    Chicago elevated Webster from its practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus the Eagles, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.

    Analysis: With Chase Claypool (knee) and Darnell Mooney (ankle) both out, Chicago saw fit to bring Webster up from the practice squad to provide some depth at wide receiver. He's played just nine offensive snaps and has not recorded a target in three seasons.

  • Added to Chicago's practice squad

    Webster was signed to the Bears' practice squad Wednesday, Larry Mayer of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Webster was among 14 players to join Chicago's practice squad Wednesday, leaving the Bears with two more spots. The former Eastern Washington receiver had been waived by the Bears on Tuesday.

  • Waived by Chicago

    The Bears waived Webster on Tuesday, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Webster spent most of the 2021 season on the Bears' practice squad and will likely garner a similar role if he clears waivers. The undrafted return man from Eastern Washington has appeared in 27 career regular season games but has played 360 snaps on special teams compared to just nine on offense.

  • Leads team in targets

    Webster caught four passes for 25 yards in the Bears' 27-11 preseason win over the Seahawks on Thursday.

    Analysis: Webster played with the second- and third-team offense, and most of his targets came from Nathan Peterman in the second half. Each of his receptions came on short passes. He'll continue to battle for a roster spot.

    Published: Fri, Aug 19 at 4:50am by Rotowire.com

  • Likely on roster bubble

    Webster's shortcoming with catch radius has been obvious during training camp, Gene Chamberlain of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: Although Webster has made a number of catches in practice, when he catches the ball, he's rarely had a chance to flash the speed that makes him a viable return man. Based on camp reports, it would appear his best chance to make the team would be on special teams. In his three-year career, he's played 360 snaps on special teams, compared to just nine offensive snaps.

  • Remains with Bears

    The Bears signed Webster to a reserve/future contract Tuesday, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.

    Analysis: Webster spent most of the 2021 season on the Bears' practice squad and will now remain with the club heading into the offseason. He played mainly on special teams across his six regular-season appearances in 2021.

  • Reverts back to practice squad

    Webster reverted to the Bears' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Analysis: Webster was called up for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, but he played exclusively on special teams. He logged one tackle on kick coverage across 12 special-team snaps and will now return to Chicago's practice squad.

  • Bumps up to active roster

    Webster was elevated to Chicago's active roster Saturday.

    Analysis: Webster was also elevated last week against the Vikings but played just six offensive snaps. The undrafted free agent has primarily been special teams depth throughout his three-year career.

  • Returns to practice squad

    Webster reverted to the Bears' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Analysis: Webster was called up for Monday's game against the Vikings, but he played just one offensive snap and six snaps on special teams in the loss. He logged a tackle in kick coverage but will now return to Chicago's practice squad.

  • Elevated to active roster

    Webster was elevated from the Bears' practice squad ahead of Monday's game against the Vikings, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.

    Analysis: Webster will provide additional depth at wide receiver Monday since Allen Robinson (undisclosed) is unavailable and Marquise Goodwin (foot) is doubtful. Webster appeared in the first four games of the season and played exclusively on special teams.

  • Pops back up on practice squad

    The Bears re-signed Webster to the practice squad Thursday, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Webster handled a special-teams role for Chicago during the first four games of the season, but the team opted to waive him Tuesday. Sticking around via the practice squad will provide Webster a chance to continue his development with the Bears.

  • Waived by Chicago

    The Bears waived Webster on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Webster appeared in all four games for the Bears this season in an exclusively special-teams role. The 25-year-old return man became expendable when Chicago acquired Jakeem Grant via trade with the Dolphins.

  • Active for Week 2

    Webster (hamstring) is listed as active ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Bengals.

    Analysis: Webster was added to the injury report Friday, but he was still a full participant in practice. The 25-year-old played just six special-teams snaps Week 1 and will likely handle his usual punt-returning duties Sunday.

  • Lands on injury report

    Webster (hamstring) was added to the injury report Friday, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Webster was a full participant in practice Friday, but he is considered questionable for Sunday's contest against the Bengals. If he is unable suit up, Damiere Byrd will likely take over the punt-returning duties.

  • Claimed off waivers

    The Bears claimed Webster off waivers from the 49ers on Wednesday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Webster appeared in 21 games with the Rams from 2019-20, in which span he contributed almost exclusively on special teams. He should handle a similar role with the Bears, but Webster will nonetheless remain firmly off the fantasy radar.

  • Waived by Niners

    The 49ers waived Webster on Tuesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Webster played with the Rams the prior two seasons before getting waived and joining the 49ers. The receiver was dealt plenty of competition from the start and ultimately was unable to make San Francisco's initial 53-man roster. The 25-year-old is considered to be a strong candidate to make the Niners' practice squad if he clears through waivers.

  • Nabbed by Niners

    The 49ers claimed Webster off waivers from the Rams on Wednesday, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.

    Analysis: Webster joins a crowded 49ers receiving corps, where he'll face steep competition for a role on special teams or a practice-squad spot. He only handled eight offensive snaps for the Rams in 2020, but he received 254 reps on special teams.

  • Waived by Rams

    Webster was waived by the Rams on Tuesday, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Webster was a special teams contributor the past two seasons in Los Angeles, but will now look to compete for a roster spot elsewhere. He only played eight offensive snaps for the Rams last season.

    Published: Tue, Jul 20 at 5:23pm by Rotowire.com

  • Definitely on roster bubble

    Webster is expected to compete for a special-teams role with Raymond Calais and 2021 NFL Draft second-round selection Tutu Atwell, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Webster flashed some potential as a receiver last year during training camp, and then he spent the majority of his snaps on the kick- and punt-return units for Los Angeles last season. He could have an uphill climb to earn a roster spot after the Rams added Atwell in the draft.

    Published: Tue, May 4 at 3:36pm by Rotowire.com

  • Limited to special teams

    Webster played just eight offensive snaps during the 2020 season.

    Analysis: While there were glimpses of receiving potential from the sophomore in training camp, Webster was relegated to punt- and kick-return duty this season. With few fantasy formats rewarding return yardage, the 25-year-old Eastern Washington product was an afterthought in the majority of settings. The Rams will likely bolster their receiving corps through the draft and/or free agency during the offseason, and Webster will probably have to battle to retain his special-teams job next year.

  • Working into punt return rotation

    Webster is expected to work into the punt returner rotation heading into Week 6, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Webster failed to play a single snap Week 5, but he did have 20 and 19 kick return yards Week 1 and 2, respectively. He figures to see more chances on special teams this Sunday against San Francisco.

  • Makes 53-man roster

    Webster earned a spot on the Rams' 53-man roster, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Pegged by most as the favorite to break camp as Los Angeles' fifth receiver, Webster projects to be the primary kick and punt returner this season. The sophomore didn't play an offensive snap last year, but he had a strong offseason and owns plus speed, so Webster could emerge as a gadget player for head coach Sean McVay. Fantasy managers probably will want to take a wait-and-see approach in most cases, though.

  • Scores twice against second team

    Webster caught touchdown passes on consecutive plays during red-zone drills while working with the second-team offense against the second-team defense Wednesday, Jordan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Webster is the favorite to break training camp with the Rams as their kick and punt returner, and while there's minimal fantasy value in those roles, his performance Wednesday is encouraging. The sophomore out of Eastern Washington is a diminutive speedster (5-foot-10, 180 pounds) who didn't play an offensive snap for the Rams last year, but there's an outside chance he carves out a role as a gadget player for creative head coach Sean McVay. Just note, Webster is firmly behind Cooper Kupp,…read more

  • No catches in 2019

    Webster returned two kicks for 57 yards and seven punts for 18 yards in five games this season.

    Analysis: Webster didn't play an offensive snap this season, exclusively working as a return man during his time on the 53-man roster. The 23-year-old is an exclusive rights free agent for 2020, but he's hardly guaranteed to be tendered a contract by the Rams.

  • Back at practice Friday

    Webster (concussion) was a full participant at Friday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Webster looks prepared to suit up Sunday and will likely assume return duties for the Rams. Do not expect his impact to be felt in any other aspect of the game.

  • Returns with limited session

    Webster (concussion) was limited in practice Thursday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: It's a step in the right direction for Webster, although he still has steps remaining to clear the league's concussion protocol. He's been exclusively a return specialist in his four games with the Rams this season.

  • Diagnosed with concussion

    Webster (concussion) was listed as a non-participant in the team's estimated practice report Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Webster exited the team's Week 16 contest against the 49ers early with a potential concussion. Wednesday's practice report confirms that he was officially diagnosed with the head injury, potentially jeopardizing his status for the team's Week 17 matchup against the Cardinals.

  • Out with potential concussion

    Webster left Saturday's loss to the 49ers to be evaluated for a concussion.

    Analysis: Webster may have suffered a concussion when he was stonewalled on an attempted punt return during the second half. The 23-year-old returned one kick for 27 yards and two punts for one yard before exiting the contest.

  • Sitting out Sunday

    Webster (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Analysis: Webster will serve as a healthy scratch for the second time in as many games. The undrafted rookie out of Eastern Washington played Week 11 against the Bears but stuck to a special-teams role.

  • Promoted to Rams' active roster

    Webster has been elevated to the Rams' 53-man roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Bears, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Webster joined the Rams' practice squad in mid-October. He has been called up partly for receiver depth due to Brandin Cooks (concussion) being sidelined this week, and partly because another team recently attempted to sign him. While he does not figure to have an impact on offense, he could end up playing a role on special teams.
