Done with Bucs
Tampa Bay waived Dafney (undisclosed) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Less than a week after being moved to injured reserve, Dafney is now slated to become a free agent and will be able to sign with a team once he proves his health. Through 15 games in the NFL, the 26-year-old tight end has logged four catches for 60 yards and a touchdown.

Dafney (undisclosed) reverted to the Buccaneers' injured reserve Wednesday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Waived with injury
The Buccaneers waived/injured Dafney (undisclosed) on Tuesday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Pair of grabs in preseason finale
Dafney secured both targets for 22 yards in the Buccaneers' 26-20 preseason win over the Ravens on Saturday night.
Analysis: Dafney checked in second among the Buccaneers' tight ends with 21 snaps while tying for the position lead in receptions and setting the pace in receiving yards. The 26-year-old had a serviceable preseason relative to opportunity, posting a 4-33 line on five targets. However, with David Wells seemingly enjoying the inside track to the No. 3 tight end role after recording a touchdown Saturday night, Dafney may have to beat out rookie fifth-round pick Payne Durham to garner a spot on the final…read more

Signs future deal with Bucs
Dafney signed a reserve/future contract with the Buccaneers on Monday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Dafney appeared in 15 games for the Packers between the 2020 and 2021 seasons. He'll try to carve out a depth role in a Buccaneers tight end room that includes 2022 draft picks Cade Otton (fourth round) and Ko Kieft (sixth round).

Time up on practice squad
The Colts cut Dafney from the practice squad Thursday.
Analysis: Dafney will be replaced by Keke Coutee on Indianapolis' practice squad. The tight end logged 10 appearances with Green Bay during the 2021 campaign, but he hasn't appeared in a single contest this season.

Joins Indianapolis' practice squad
The Colts signed Dafney to their practice squad Tuesday, JJ Stankevitz of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Dafney has been a free agent since being cut from the Broncos' practice squad in October. He hasn't appeared in any NFL contests this year, but he did catch four of six targets for 60 yards and a touchdown across 15 appearances with Green Bay during the 2020 and 2021 campaigns.

Let go Monday
Dafney was cut from the Broncos' practice squad Monday, Aric DiLalla reports.
Analysis: Dafney joined the team's practice squad Sept. 13 after being let go by the Packers during training camp. The 25-year-old will now work to earn an opportunity elsewhere.

Joins Broncos' practice squad
Denver signed Dafney to its practice squad Tuesday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Analysis: Dafney was waived by Green Bay during the preseason, but he has now found another opportunity to make an impression with the Broncos and Coach Nathaniel Hackett, with whom he spent the past two seasons with the Packers. He was used sparingly in a hybrid tight end/fullback role by Hackett in Green Bay, a role currency occupied by Andrew Beck in Denver, who caught two of three targets for 52 yards Week 1 at Seattle.

Let go from IR
Dafney (knee) was waived from the Packers' injured reserve with an injury settlement Monday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Analysis: Dafney reverted to Green Bay's injured reserve last Wednesday after missing some time this preseason with a knee injury. The 25-year-old, who caught two passes for 34 yards over 10 games with the Packers last year, will now be free to join a new team heading into the regular season.

Goes unclaimed
Dafney (knee) reverted to Green Bay's injured reserve on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Analysis: Dafney's status was uncertain for some time, as he briefly returned to practice after reportedly dealing with the injury earlier in camp. However, he was waived/injured Tuesday and went unclaimed. Dafney has four career receptions across 15 games and has contributed significantly on special teams.

Cut loose with injury
Dafney, who missed multiple practices due to a recent knee issue, was waived/injured by the Packers on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports
Analysis: It was initially reported that Dafney had returned from injury prior to being let go, but it appears that this knee issue must have resurfaced in recent days. As a result, the third-year tight end will likely revert to Green Bay's injured reserve list, should no other team claim him off waivers.

Let go by Green Bay
The Packers waived Dafney on Tuesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Dafney appeared in 15 regular season games over the last two years in Green Bay and caught four of six targets for 60 yards and one score. The move signals that the Packers are confident that Robert Tonyan (knee) will be ready for Week 1, as Dafney was a likely candidate to make the initial 53-man roster if Tonyan wasn't activated off the PUP list before the start of the regular season.

Reups with Green Bay
Dafney signed a one-year contract with the Packers on Monday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Dafney played in 10 games for Green Bay last season, recording two catches on four targets for 34 yards. The two-year pro also chipped in on 104 special-teams snaps. Dafney currently is No. 5 on the Packers' tight end positional depth chart, so he's got work to do if he hopes to earn an expanded role next season.

Draws few targets in 2021
Dafney was targeted four times and caught two passes for 34 yards over 10 appearances in the 2021 season.
Analysis: The 10 appearances were twice as many as Dafney tallied the season before, but he finished with relatively the same stats he put up in 2020 and did not find the end zone. The Packers will have the option to bring him back for another season or allow him to seek opportunities elsewhere.

Suiting up Saturday
Dafney (ankle) is listed as active Saturday against the Browns, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Dafney was unavailable Week 15 at Baltimore due to an ankle injury, but after being listed as limited on all Week 16 practice reports he's able to suit up again. He has just one catch on two targets in seven appearances this season, making him a non-entity for fantasy purposes.

Iffy for Saturday
Dafney (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Browns.
Analysis: After sitting out last week's win over the Ravens with the injury, Dafney was listed as a limited participant on practice reports issued Tuesday through Thursday to take the questionable tag into the weekend. If he avoids the inactive list, Dafney will likely serve as Green Bay's No. 3 tight end and work primarily as a blocker.

Out Week 15
Dafney (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
Analysis: Dafney picked up the ankle injury during last week's win over the Bears and will be out for at least one game. Tyler Davis should serve as Green Bay's No. 3 tight end in Dafney's absence.

Ruled out for game
Dafney won't return to Sunday's game against the Bears due to an ankle injury, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Dafney initially returned to Sunday's matchup after he sustained an ankle injury in the first half, but he was later ruled out for the remainder of the game. Whether he's available for Green Bay's Week 15 matchup against the Ravens on Dec. 19 remains to be seen.

Records full practice Wednesday
Dafney (hamstring) was able to record a full practice for the Packers on Wednesday.
Analysis: Dafney was unable to suit up in Week 10 after not practicing all week due to his hamstring injury. Expect the tight end to make his return to the field in Week 11 when the Packers take on the Vikings on Sunday.

Inactive Sunday
Dafney (hamstring) will not play Sunday against the Seahawks, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Dafney missed practice all week, so this was the likely outcome. In his absence, Marcedes Lewis and Josiah Deguara will see the bulk of tight end opportunities.

Listed as doubtful
The Packers have deemed Dafney (hamstring) doubtful for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Dafney was a non-participant at practice all week, so his chance of suiting up currently looks slim. Should he end up sitting out, Marcedes Lewis and Josiah Deguara would presumably see the lion's share of tight end snaps.

Misses practice Thursday
Dafney (hamstring) didn't participate in Thursday's practice session.
Analysis: Dafney failed to haul in his lone target in Sunday's loss to Kansas City, and he apparently sustained a hamstring injury that has kept him off the field for the last two days. He'll likely need to practice in some capacity Friday to have a chance to play Sunday against the Seahawks.

Limited role in loss
Dafney was targeted once but did not catch a pass in Sunday's 13-7 loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Dafney was on the field for 40 percent of the 63 plays run by the Packers' offense, but he did not see another football in his direction after the first offensive play of the contest. Dafney still has not caught a pass this season -- he did miss five games with a hip injury -- but he should continue seeing the field plenty with fellow tight end Robert Tonyan (knee) done for the season.

Some work in return to action
Dafney played 14 of 73 offensive snaps (19 percent) during Thursday's 24-21 win in Arizona.
Analysis: Starting Week 13 of last season, Dafney became a regular in the Packers' tight end rotation, but in seven appearances (including playoffs) he topped out at a 39 percent snap share and combined for two catches (on two targets) for 26 yards and one touchdown. He proceeded to miss Weeks 3-7 of the current campaign due to an IR stint caused by a hip injury, but his return Thursday happened to coincide with top tight end Robert Tonyan suffering a torn ACL. Dafney thus seems poised for a consistent…read more

Activated from IR
Dafney (hip) was activated from injured reserve Thursday.
Analysis: Dafney has been back at practice for two weeks, and he'll be able to suit up for Thursday night's matchup against the Cardinals. The tight end served mainly as a blocker across his first two appearances of the season.

Practicing Wednesday
The Packers have designated Dafney (hip) for return from IR, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Dafney has missed three games due to his hip injury, making him eligible to come off IR as early as Sunday's contest against the Bears. He handled a key depth role as a blocker during the first two weeks of the season.

Lands on IR
The Packers placed Dafney (hip) on injured reserve Saturday.
Analysis: Dafney has yet to be targeted in the passing game despite playing nearly 40 percent of the Packers' offensive snaps through the first two weeks of the season. Josiah Deguara cleared concussion protocol ahead of Sunday's matchup, but they will still only have three active tight ends against the 49ers. Dafney will miss at least three weeks after being placed on IR, so the Packers may need to make a move to add some depth to their tight end room.

Won't play against SF
Dafney (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers.
Analysis: Dafney will sit out for the first time this season. The depth tight end has actually played on close to 40 percent of the Packers' offensive snaps through two weeks despite not being targeted in the passing game, so his absence could be felt in the running game.

Doesn't practice Friday
Dafney (hip) didn't practice Friday and is considered questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup with the 49ers.
Analysis: Dafney was added to the injury report Thursday, and his status for Sunday is questionable. Fortunately for the Packers, Josiah Deguara (concussion) was cleared from the injury report, so they will at least have three healthy tight ends with Robert Tonyan, Marcedes Lewis and Deguara active for Sunday's contest against San Francisco.

Limited by hip Thursday
Dafney (hip) was added to Thursday's injury report as a limited participant, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The development may indicate Dafney suffered an injury in practice, but the Packers nonetheless have two tight ends with unknown statuses. Josiah Deguara (concussion) is the other, leaving just Robert Tonyan and Marcedes Lewis as healthy options at the position.

Makes cut in Green Bay
Dafney secured a spot on the Packers' roster Tuesday.
Analysis: Dafney went into training camp with a good chance to start a season on an NFL roster for the first time in his career, and with him not among the list of cuts made Tuesday, he is set to do just that. While Dafney will occupy a place on the Packers' roster, it's unlikely he will play more than a bit role early on.

Back at practice
Dafney (knee) has been activated from the PUP list and is practicing Monday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Dafney began training camp on the PUP list, but he's now passed his physical. The 24-year-old tight end is likely competing for a roster spot, so he could have some ground to make up at practice.

Managing knee injury
Dafney is on the preseason PUP list with a knee injury, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Hits PUP list
The Packers placed Dafney (undisclosed) on the PUP list Thursday, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.
Analysis: Dafney will need to clear a physical before being cleared to join teammates at training camp practices. He carved out a regular reserve gig during the 2020 postseason, but the return of Josiah Deguara (knee) could threaten Dafney's role if he can't get back to full health soon.

Earns regular role by season's end
Dafney caught two passes for 26 yards and a touchdown over five regular-season games with the Packers in 2020.
Analysis: Dafney signed with the Colts after going undrafted last spring, but he eventually found his way on the Green Bay roster and wound up playing about a quarter of the snaps in both of the team's two postseason contests. While his statistics don't jump off the page, Dafney's ability to earn a regular role late in the season puts him in good shape to remain on the Packers' roster at the end of training camp in 2021.

Scores first career touchdown
Dafney hauled in a 13-yard touchdown pass in Sunday's victory over the Bears.
Analysis: Dafney has been limited mainly to blocking duties since seeing his first action with the Packers in Week 13, but he made his first reception Week 16 and scored his first career touchdown one week later. The Packers chose to activate Dafney in the finale and keep a healthy Jace Sternberger in street clothes, and that arrangement could continue in the postseason.

Promoted to active roster
The Packers signed Dafney to the active roster Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Dafney suited up for the Packers last week and logged 11 total snaps. With Jace Sternberger (concussion) set to miss Week 14, Dafney was brought up from the practice squad once again, this time with an official contract. He'll slot in as the No. 3 tight end behind Robert Tonyan and Marcedes Lewis. However, Dafney could reasonably see more pass-catching work than Lewis.

Rises to active roster
The Packers elevated Dafney to the active roster Saturday.
Analysis: An undrafted rookie out of Indiana State, Dafney comes from the same stomping grounds as Packers top tight end Robert Tonyan. The 23-year-old Dafney produced more on the ground than through the air in college, registering 635 all-purpose yards (439 rushing, 196 receiving) in his final season. Dafney has yet to make his NFL debut, but it appears that's on tap in Sunday's matchup against the Eagles.

Lands in Green Bay
Dafney signed with the Packers' practice squad Monday.
Analysis: Dafney is an undrafted rookie that produced 635 all-purpose yards (439 rushing, 196 receiving) in his final collegiate season at Indiana State, rotating between fullback and tight end. Josiah Deguara, who tore his ACL in Week 4, was drafted to fill an H-back role in Green Bay, so Dafney could be a decent replacement for Deguara.

Cut by Colts
Indianapolis waived Dafney on Saturday, Andrew Walker of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Dafney played both fullback and tight end for FCS Indiana State, but his versatility wasn't enough to crack Indianapolis' regular-season roster. He'll likely look to make his next appearance on a practice squad around the league.
