News

  • Waived by Atlanta

    Kareem was waived by the Falcons on Thursday, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Kareem was signed to the active roster in Week 11 and appeared in the overtime loss to the Panthers. The edge rusher's release was not followed by any other personnel moves, so the Falcons still have a 53-man roster spot available. If Kareem clears waivers, there is a good chance he will end up back with Atlanta on the practice squad.

  • Elevated for Week 11

    The Falcons elevated Kareem to the active roster Thursday, Terrin Waack of the team's official website reports.

    Analysis: Kareem spent the majority of the 2024 season on the Falcons' practice squad, appearing in two games where he recorded four total tackles (two solo). This is the 27-year-old's first time being elevated this season, and he'll provide additional depth at linebacker following DeAngelo Malone's placement on injured reserve.

  • Elevated for Week 10

    The Falcons elevated Kareem (undisclosed) from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Kareem, who signed with the Falcons' practice squad in late August, is being elevated for the first time this season. He spent most of the 2023 regular season on the Bears' practice squad but did play in Week 8 against the Chargers, during which he registered one solo tackle and one pass defense while playing 24 snaps on defense. Kareem will give the Falcons additional depth at linebacker for Sunday's game against New Orleans after JD Bertrand was ruled out due to a concussion.

  • Free to sign elsewhere

    Kareem (undisclosed) reached an injury settlement with the Bears on Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: The settlement gives Kareem a chance to play in 2024 if he lands with another team. The defensive end appeared in one game and on 24 defensive snaps for Chicago in 2023, recording one tackle and a pass defensed.

  • Let go by Chicago

    The Bears waived Kareem on Tuesday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The move corresponds with the Bears acquiring Montez Sweat from the Commanders on Tuesday in exchange for a second-round pick. Kareem had just been activated off the Bears' injured reserve on Oct. 28 and played Sunday night against the Chargers when he was on the field for 24 defensive snaps and registered a solo tackle. Kareem will have the chance to explore his next options should he clear waivers.

  • Set to play Sunday

    The Bears activated Kareem (hip) from their injured reserve list Saturday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Kareem did not suit up for the first two games of the season before picking up a hip injury ahead of the Bears' Week 3 matchup against the Chiefs. He was placed on IR on Sept. 25 and is now set to make his 2023 debut Sunday against the Chargers. His last full season came in his rookie year in 2020 with the Bengals, when he registered 19 tackles including one sack in 16 games.

    Chicago designated Kareem (hip) for return from its injured reserve list Wednesday.

    Analysis: Kareem was a full participant at practice Wednesday, signaling he's likely to be activated for Week 8. He's still waiting to make his 2023 debut, but he figures to fill a rotational role on the Bears' defensive line once he does.

  • Heads to IR

    Kareem (hip), who was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, was placed on the Bears' injured reserve list Saturday, Chris Emma of 670TheScore.com reports.

    Analysis: Kareem has been unable to see the field for the first two weeks of the season while dealing with a hip injury. He'll now be forced to sit out for the next four games and will be eligible to return in Week 7 against the Raiders on Oct. 22.

  • Out against Chiefs

    Kareem (hip) will not play in Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Kareem did not see the field in either of the Bears' first two games to start the season, thus his absence is not expected to impact the defense. He will now focus on recovering in time for Week 4.

  • Records sack Thursday

    Kareem (ribs) recorded two solo tackles and one sack in Thursday's 27-13 preseason victory over the Eagles.

    Analysis: Kareem went down with a rib injury in the Colts' previous preseason game, but his participation in Thursday's exhibition contest indicates he has recovered from the issue. The 25-year-old is in a competition for a depth defensive end role in Indy.

  • Goes down with injury

    Kareem suffered an injury to his ribs in the Colts' 24-17 preseason victory over the Bears, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.

    Analysis: Kareem was able to return to the game, but his status moving forward is worth monitoring. Based on the fact that he is competing for a final roster spot, he'll likely push to play again Thursday versus the Eagles if possible.

  • Inks new contract

    The Colts re-signed Kareem on Monday.

    Analysis: Kareem is now slated to remain with the Colts for at least the 2023 campaign after he signed a new deal with the team. The 24-year-old joined Indianapolis from the Bengals back in November and served as both a rotational defensive lineman as well as a special-teams contributor across the final four weeks of this past season.

  • Waived by Bengals

    Kareem was waived by the Bengals on Tuesday, one day after he was activated from the IR, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: This comes as a bit of a surprise, as Kareem was expected to be part of the Bengals' defensive line rotation. He was drafted in the fifth round of the 2020 Draft, but he has dealt with a number of injury issues this season.

  • Ditches IR

    Cincinnati added Kareem (hamstring) from its injured reserve list to its active roster Monday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Kareem had to miss the first five games of the season as he tended to a hamstring injury, but it now appears he could return as soon as Week 6 at New Orleans. As long as Sam Hubbard and Trey Hendrickson remain healthy though, Kareem will be relegated to a rotational role.

  • Designated to return from IR

    Kareem (hamstring) was designated to return from injured reserve and practiced Wednesday.

    Analysis: Kareem was forced to miss the first four games of the season after starting the campaign on IR due to a hamstring injury he suffered during the team's second preseason contest. He'll have a 21-day period to be added to the active roster, but if he isn't, he'll revert back to IR for the remainder of the campaign.

    Kareem (undisclosed) was activated off the active/PUP list Sunday and is cleared to practice, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: Kareem started training camp on the PUP list due to an undisclosed injury, but he appears to have moved past the issue and is ready to contribute during training camp. The 2020 fifth-round pick appeared in only seven games last season after playing in all 16 as a rookie. In his lone healthy campaign, Kareem totaled 19 tackles and one sack across 259 defensive snaps.

  • Shifts to PUP list

    Kareem (undisclosed) was moved to the Bengals' active/PUP list Saturday.

    Analysis: Kareem can be reinstated from this list and practice at any point before the regular season, but he will first need to receive a corresponding medical clearance. The 24-year-old's status heading into training camp is unclear after he spent time rehabbing an undisclosed injury during Cincinnati's voluntary OTAs in June.

  • Not participating fully

    Kareem (undisclosed) was working out on the rehab field during minicamp Tuesday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Kareem missed time due to a shoulder injury last season while also needing a stint in the concussion protocol, but he finished the campaign on the active roster. It's not currently known why Kareem wasn't a full practice participant, but once he is healthy he projects to provide depth along the Bengals defensive line.

  • Clears concussion protocol

    Kareem (concussion) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: Kareem has cleared the NFL's concussion protocol after sitting out last week's win over the Ravens. The little-used defensive end should be available Sunday against the Chiefs if called upon.

  • Not facing Baltimore

    Kareem (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Kareem has made just five appearances this season, so his lack of involvement shouldn't affect many fantasy rosters. The defensive end has yet to play 30 percent or more of the defensive snaps on any game in 2021.

  • Iffy for Week 16

    The Bengals list Kareem (concussion) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: After entering the concussion protocol following the Bengals' Week 15 win over the Broncos, Kareem didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, but he must have taken enough of a step forward in his recovery Friday for the team to give him the questionable tag heading into the weekend. If he suits up Sunday, Kareem will likely fill a limited role in Cincinnati's defensive-end rotation.

  • Lands in concussion protocol

    Kareem was placed in concussion protocol Monday, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: Kareem played 13 defensive snaps during the team's 15-10 win over the Broncos, but he apparently suffered a concussion during the contest. If he isn't able to clear protocols ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Ravens, then Cameron Sample and Wyatt Ray would be the most likely candidates to see increased snaps.

  • Off injury report

    Kareem (illness) wasn't listed on the Bengals' injury report Wednesday.

    Analysis: Kareem was inactive in Week 13 as he was dealing with an illness. Now that he's off the injury report, the defensive end should be healthy enough to play in Week 14 against the 49ers.

    Kareem (illness) is doubtful to play Sunday against the Chargers, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.
