Gets let go
Darden was waived by the Browns on Wednesday.
Analysis: Darden appeared in seven games for Cleveland this season, seeing most of his opportunities as a return man on special teams. The 2021 fourth-round selection only had 20 offensive snaps but caught his only target for a six-yard gain. In a corresponding move, the Browns signed Bailey Zappe to bolster their quarterback depth.

Signed to active roster
The Browns signed Darden from the practice squad to the active roster Tuesday.
Analysis: Darden had already reached his maximum of three elevations from the practice squad, meaning he had to be inked to the 53-man roster in order to contribute Sunday against the Chargers. The 25-year-old will continue working as a key punt returner for the Browns, as well as playing a depth role on offense.

Reverts to practice squad
Darden reverted to the Browns' practice squad Monday.
Analysis: Darden didn't record any offensive stats across four snaps played, but he did contribute on special teams as he returned three punts for 36 yards. The 25-year-old has now been elevated for the maximum amount of three games and will have to be signed to the active roster if he's to play again for the Browns this season.

Elevated for Week 8
The Browns elevated Darden from the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Ravens, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: Darden will have his third possible practice squad elevation utilized for Week 8. The fourth-year pro has been promoted off the practice squad for each of Cleveland's last two games. He played 13 percent of offensive snaps in both contests, while also contributing as a key punt returner.

Returns to practice squad
Darden reverted to the Browns' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Analysis: Darden was elevated to the active roster for Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Bengals, failing to garner a target while playing 11 of the team's 84 offensive snaps. Additionally, he recorded 43 yards on five punt returns in the defeat. It was the second week in a row that Darden was active, and he can still be elevated one more time before he'd have to officially be signed to the active roster.

Elevated to active roster
The Browns promoted Darden to the active roster Saturday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: This marks the second week in a row Darden has been elevated. He played seven of 57 offensive snaps in last week's 20-16 loss to Philadelphia and caught one pass for six yards. He also returned two punts for 26 yards. He figures to be in line for a similar workload Sunday versus the Bengals.

Back to practice squad
Darden reverted to the Browns' practice squad Monday, according to the NFL's official transaction log.
Analysis: The wide receiver played on seven of 57 offensive snaps, caught one pass for six yards and returned two punts for 26 yards during Cleveland's 20-16 loss to Philadelphia on Sunday. Darden ranked behind Jerry Jeudy (52 snaps), Amari Cooper (47 snaps), Elijah Moore (38 snaps) and Cedric Tillman (21 snaps) in total snap count.

One catch in loss
Darden caught his lone target for six yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Eagles in Week 6. He also returned two punts for 26 yards.
Analysis: Darden was activated from the practice squad for the second time this season after the Browns released James Proche on Saturday. Darden finished with seven snaps on offense and could be in line for a role as the primary returner, if Cleveland signs him to the active roster. He has experience returning both kicks and punts during all four seasons of his NFL career.

Inks with practice squad
The Browns signed Darden to the practice squad Tuesday.
Analysis: Darden worked as Cleveland's top returner Week 1, and he now reunites with the team as a member of the practice squad. With wide receiver David Bell (hip) having suffered a season-ending hip injury, Darden could get an opportunity to bump up to the active roster and contribute as early as Sunday versus the Giants.

Time up in Cleveland
The Browns cut Darden on Saturday, Brad Stainbrook of 247Sports.com reports.
Analysis: Darden's spot on the 53-man roster will be filled by fellow wideout James Proche.Darden, a 2021 fourth-round pick, returned five punts for 72 yards and four kickoffs for 97 yards in Week 1, but the Browns have opted not to stick with him as the primary return man. Pierre Strong and Jerome Ford could work on kick returns instead, while Elijah Moore looks like the top candidate to return punts versus Jacksonville on Sunday.

Primary returner in Week 1
Darden returned five punts for 72 yards and four kickoffs for 97 yards in Sunday's 33-17 loss to Dallas in Week 1. He did not play on offense.
Analysis: Darden, who was signed to the roster Saturday as a replacement for the waived David Bell, became the team's primary returner for all kicks. His addition paid early dividends when his 28-yard punt return in the first quarter led to a field goal, giving Cleveland its only lead of the game. Darden has been with the organization since the Browns claimed him late in the 2022 season but has appeared in only four games.

Joins active roster
Darden signed a contract with the Browns on Saturday,.
Analysis: Darden will replace David Bell, who was waived earlier this week. A fourth-round pick by the Buccaneers back in 2021, Darden projects to be the team's top punt returner and could operate as one of the team's kick returners too, but he'll be hard-pressed to see offensive snaps due to numerous players being above him on the wide receiver depth chart.

Back with Cleveland
The Browns signed Darden to the practice squad Wednesday.
Analysis: The 2021 fourth-round pick finished the preseason with four catches (on eight targets) for 70 yards. He spent most of 2023 with the Browns' practice squad, and he will reprise that role for the upcoming season.

Let go by Cleveland
The Browns waived Darden on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: A fourth-round pick by Tampa Bay in 2021, Darden was claimed off waivers by Cleveland in December of 2022 and bounced back and forth from the practice squad last season. This preseason, Darden caught four passes for 70 scoreless yards. He'll look for an opportunity elsewhere but could be a candidate for the practice squad again.

Returning kicks
Darden caught two of four targets for 21 yards in Saturday's preseason game against Minnesota. He also returned two punts for 16 yards and one kickoff for 29 yards.
Analysis: All of Darden's activity as a receiver occurred during the second half. If he's to stick with the team, it will likely be as a returner. Darden has returned both punts and kickoffs in each of the first two preseason games.

Back to practice squad
Darden reverted to the Browns' practice squad Monday.
Analysis: Darden operated as the team's primary return specialist in Sunday's 19-17 upset win over the 49ers, compiling 42 return-yards on two kick returns and 39 yards on four punts. If Cedric Tillman (hip) is unable to go again in Week 7 versus the Colts, Darden could be elevated to the team's active roster again.

Main returner in win
Darden returned four punts for 39 yards and two kickoffs for 42 yards in Sunday's 19-17 win over the 49ers in Week 6.
Analysis: Darden was elevated to the active roster, as rookie Cedric Tillman (hip) was unable to go. Darden never stepped on the field for offense, but he took on a familiar return-specialist role.

Elevated by Browns
The Browns elevated Darden to the 53-man roster ahead of Sunday's matchup with the 49ers, Brad Stainbrook of 247Sports.com reports.
Analysis: Darden spent the first five weeks of the regular season on Cleveland's practice squad, but he is now in line to suit up for the first time. While the pass catcher will be available to provide depth at receiver, his primary role will presumably be contributing on special teams.

Misses cut, joins practice squad
Darden was waived by the Browns on Tuesday and subsequently picked up by their practice squad Wednesday.
Analysis: Darden was considered to be on the roster fringes ahead of final roster cuts, so it is not surprising that he landed right back on the team's practice unit. The 2021 fourth-round pick will now look to turn heads at practice while awaiting the chance to get called up on a game day where the receiving position needs depth.

Held out Saturday
Darden (leg) is not expected to play Saturday against the Chiefs, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Darden had been cleared to participate in seven-on-seven drills earlier this week, but that's evidently not enough for him to see action on the field Saturday. The 2021 fourth-round pick of the Buccaneers is likely on the roster fringes for the Browns and will need to get healthy quickly if he's to have a shot at making the opening 53-man roster.

Back at practice
Darden (leg) participated in seven-on-seven drills at Thursday's practice, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Darden went down with an injury early in camp on Aug. 1 and has yet to play a snap this preseason. Trying to carve out a depth wideout role and spot on special teams as a potential return man, Darden needs to get healthy and stay that way. We should expect to see him out there for the preseason finale Saturday against the Chiefs.

Sits out Thursday
Darden (leg) did not play in Thursday's preseason game against the Jets.
Analysis: Darden is having a strong camp, but a leg injury Tuesday prevented him from competing Thursday. He's in the mix at both return jobs and is seen as the primary competitor of Jakeem Grant (ankle) at both wideout and returner. It's unlikely the Browns keep both.

Darden is not practicing Tuesday due to a leg injury, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Darden had been performing well during training camp, but his recent injury will leave him in danger of falling down the team's positional depth chart, as well as possibly missing Thursday's Hall of Fame Game against the Jets. He'll continue working to get healthy and back on the field.

Darden is listed as second on the unofficial depth chart at one wideout position behind Amari Cooper for Thursday's Hall of Fame Game against the Jets, the Browns' official site reports.

Claimed off waivers by Cleveland
Cleveland claimed Darden off waivers from Tampa Bay on Wednesday.
Analysis: Darden was waived by Tampa Bay following Monday's win over the Saints, but he quickly found a new home in Cleveland. The second-year wideout appeared in the Buccaneers' first 12 games this year and caught both of his targets for 26 yards across just 53 offensive snaps, though he did make some solid contributions as a return man.

Darden was waived by the Buccaneers on Tuesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Darden has played in all 12 games for the Bucs this season, mainly handling return duties while seeing limited snaps on offense. It's currently unclear if he'll be brought back to the team's practice squad if he is able to clear waivers. Rachaad White and Scotty Miller will be candidates to replace Darden as return men.

Pair of punt returns in loss
Darden did not log any snaps on offense but returned two punts for 24 yards during the Buccaneers' 23-17 overtime loss to the Browns in Week 12.
Analysis: Darden rattled off another long return in a season full of them, recording a 17-yard runback. The speedster continues to be a complete non-factor on offense, but he's now averaging 10.7 yards per return and leads the NFL with 310 punt-return yards overall.

Gets a shot as kickoff returner
Darden returned two kickoffs for 42 yards in the Buccaneers' 21-16 win over the Seahawks in Week 10.
Analysis: The Buccaneers didn't have any punt-return opportunities, but Darden still got his hands on the ball via the first two kickoff returns of the season. Darden failed to log a single snap on offense for the third straight game, however, so despite his speed, he doesn't have any fantasy viability at the moment outside of leagues that count return yards.

Busy day as returner
Darden did not log any snaps on offense but returned eight punts for 82 yards in the Buccaneers' 16-13 win over the Rams on Sunday.
Analysis: It was an extremely busy day on special teams for Darden, who recorded a career high in return yardage on an afternoon when the Rams were about as inept at sustaining drives as the Buccaneers. Darden continues to be among the league's most efficient return men, now averaging 10.6 yards on his 27 punt runbacks overall.

Continues shining on returns
Darden returned two punts for 33 yards in the Buccaneers' 27-22 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night.
Analysis: Darden once again was a non-factor on offense but continued to shine in his punt returner role. The second-year speedster ripped off runbacks of 18 and 15 yards, pushing his average in that category to a stellar 10.7 yards per return.

One catch in addition to returns
Darden brought in his only target for one yard and returned four punts for 46 yards in the Buccaneers' 21-3 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.
Analysis: Darden recorded only his second catch of the season while logging four snaps on offense, and he turned in his usual stellar work on punt returns. The speedster's primary contributions should continue to come through special teams unless multiple injuries strike the Buccaneers' receiving corps.

Logs three punt returns in Week 6
Darden returned three punts for 14 yards during the Buccaneers' 20-18 loss to the Steelers in Week 6.
Analysis: The second-year wideout failed to see a snap on offense for the first time all season, but he continued to deliver solid production on his punt-return opportunities. Darden's average of 9.6 yards on punt runbacks ties him for 10th overall in the league and qualifies as the fourth highest of players that have logged double-digit returns, while his 125 yards are good for sixth most.

Darden (tooth) practiced fully Thursday.
Analysis: Darden missed Wednesday's practice due to a tooth issue, but his return as a full participant in Thursday's session suggests he'll likely be available for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Sits out Wednesday
Darden did not participate during the Buccaneers' practice Wednesday due to a tooth issue.
Analysis: It's unclear how or when Darden sustained this injury after playing just 15 total snaps during Tampa Bay's Week 5 win over Atlanta. Either way, this issue now leaves his availability for Sunday's game against the Steelers up in the air. Darden has caught just one pass over the first five weeks of the season, though his potential absence should vault Scotty Miller into a role as Tampa Bay's primary punt returner.

Limited to pair of punt returns
Darden didn't log a target over his 11 snaps from scrimmage and returned two punts for 40 yards in the Buccaneers' 21-15 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Analysis: Darden's second-highest snap count from scrimmage of the season didn't net him any production, but he was impressive yet again in his primary role as punt returner. Darden has now netted 111 yards on nine punt runbacks, and his elite speed and elusiveness should eventually help him garner some targets on offense.

No stats in Week 4 loss
Darden logged six snaps on offense and one on special teams during the Buccaneers' 41-31 loss to the Chiefs in Week 4, but he did not draw a target or return a punt.
Analysis: It was an extremely quiet night for Darden despite the fact Julio Jones exited the game after one second-half snap due to a knee issue and Breshad Perriman (knee/hamstring) was inactive. Darden's one usually dependable path to touches, punt returns, also failed to materialize, as the prolific Chiefs offense punted only once, which resulted in a fair catch by Darden. The 2021 fourth-round pick has just one reception this season, but the combination of Cole Beasley's retirement and the lingering…read more

Darden secured his only target for 25 yards and returned three punts for 26 yards in the Buccaneers' 14-12 loss to the Packers on Sunday.
Analysis: Darden logged a season-high 18 snaps from scrimmage with the Buccaneers down three receivers, and he flashed his speed on his one reception by getting upfield down the right sideline for a 25-yard gain. He also continued to put in his usual strong work on special teams, now averaging an impressive 8.9 yards per punt return on his eight runbacks.

All of Darden's yardage in that capacity came on one of his two special-teams touches, and he's now averaging 9.0 yards per return on five runbacks through the first pair of contests.

Picks up rush attempt in Week 1 win
Darden rushed once for two yards and returned three punts for 28 yards in the Buccaneers' 19-3 win over the Cowboys on Sunday night.
Analysis: While he didn't log a target, Darden was particularly effective in his punt-return role, which served as his primary ticket to ensuring a roster spot this summer. The second-year wideout logged 10 snaps from scrimmage overall as well, and his elite speed gives him a fighting chance of expanding his profile in the offense as the season unfolds.

Solid to close out preseason
Darden secured both targets for nine yards and returned one kickoff for 12 yards in the Buccaneers' 27-10 preseason loss to the Colts on Saturday night.
Analysis: While none of Darden's three looks came close to qualifying as impact plays, the second-year wideout at least was efficient by parlaying both his looks into catches after failing to bring in any of his three targets the game prior against the Titans. Darden appears to be a safe bet for the No. 6 receiver role given his ability to contribute on special teams, especially with veteran competition Breshad Perriman and Scotty Miller failing to do anything of consequence Saturday.

Possible step back Saturday
Darden failed to bring in any of his three targets, returned one kickoff for 25 yards and ran back one punt for no gain in the Buccaneers' 13-3 preseason loss to the Titans on Saturday night.
Analysis: The fact Darden came up empty on offense while a couple of other candidates for a depth receiver and/or returner role -- Deven Thompkins and Jerreth Sterns -- tallied a pair of receptions apiece could prove detrimental.

Makes impact on one catch
Darden brought in his only target for a 23-yard touchdown in the Buccaneers' 26-24 preseason loss to the Dolphins on Saturday night.
Analysis: Darden wasn't as productive in terms of catches as several other wideouts vying for a roster spot on the latter half of the depth chart, yet the second-year speedster did make his mark with his impressive first-quarter scoring connection with Blaine Gabbert. Darden didn't see any opportunities as a returner, but he could be involved in that aspect of things as well in next Saturday night's road exhibition battle against the Titans.

Aiming for Year 2 boost
Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said Darden has enjoyed a "great" offseason and is aiming to carve out a much bigger role on offense in his second season, Greg McKenna of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Analysis: The speedy wideout saw the overwhelming majority of his touches on special teams as a rookie, logging 501 return yards to only six receptions. With players with comparable speed and more experience such as Breshad Perriman and Cyril Grayson serving as competition, Darden will first and foremost have to compete for a roster spot outright in training camp.

Posts 67 return yards before exit
Darden, who exited Sunday's divisional-round loss to the Rams in the fourth quarter with a concussion, returned four kickoffs for 62 yards and one punt for five yards prior to his injury. He completed his rookie season with six receptions for 43 yards on 12 targets, one carry for 11 yards and 501 combined return yards across nine games.
Analysis: The Bucs have high hopes for Darden as an eventual downfield threat, but given the depth the team enjoyed at receiver most of the season, 2021 was more about acclimating the North Texas product to the speed of the NFL. That was primarily accomplished through getting Darden consistent work on returns as the season unfolded, and his solid efforts in that capacity helped lead to the eventual cut of fellow wideout/returner Jaydon Mickens. Darden should have more opportunities than the 87 total…read more

Analysis: Darden was hurt after taking a hit on a punt return during the fourth quarter, and he'll be unable to return for the final few minutes of the game. If the Buccaneers advance in the playoffs, Darden will have several steps to clear if he hopes to play in the NFC Championship Game.

Being evaluated for a concussion
Darden (head) left Sunday's divisional contest against the Rams and is being evaluated for a concussion, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Darden suffered the injury after being struck by Ben Skowronek on a punt return. If Darden is unable to return, Tyler Johnson will likely take over kick return duties while Scotty Miller handles punts. His absence shouldn't impact Tampa Bay's offensive plan.

Totals 29 yards on returns
Darden ran back one kickoff for 16 yards and returned four punts for 13 yards during the Buccaneers' 31-15 win over the Eagles in Sunday's wild-card matchup.
Analysis: Darden played almost exclusively on special teams, logging just two snaps from scrimmage. The speedy rookie is likely to remain in the same role for Sunday's divisional-round clash against the Rams unless additional injuries befall the Buccaneers' already short-handed receiving corps.

Full participant Thursday
Darden (illness) was a full participant in Thursday's practice session.
Analysis: Darden was limited at Wednesday's practice after he was activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, but he took a step forward Thursday. He should be available for Sunday's matchup against Carolina and could see a slight uptick in playing time since Chris Godwin (knee) is out for the season, and Antonio Brown (ankle) had his contract terminated Thursday.

Cleared from COVID list
Darden (illness) has been activated off the Buccaneers' reserve/COVID-19 list, Scott Smith of the team's official website reports.
Analysis: Darden was placed on the COVID list prior to Week 16 and missed the team's last two games versus the Panthers and Jets as a result. He will now be free to return to practice and resume his usual role as a depth receiver and kick returner in Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Panthers.

Moved to COVID-19 list
Darden (illness) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Analysis: Darden isn't expected to test his way out of COVID-19 protocols in time to face the Panthers on Sunday. The Buccaneers are banged up at wide receiver, but the rookie fourth-round pick's impact has been limited primarily to special teams up to this point, anyway. Tyler Johnson and Scotty Miller are expected to return kickoffs and punts, respectively, for the duration of Darden's absence.

Plenty of snaps, little production
Darden failed to bring in any of the three targets he logged over 41 snaps during the Buccaneers' 9-0 loss to the Saints on Sunday night. He returned two kickoffs for 33 yards and seven punts for 41 yards.
Analysis: Darden's usage from scrimmage, which was at a career-high level, jumps off the page, even as the only touches he actually garnered came in his special-teams role. With Chris Godwin (knee) now gone for the remainder of the season and Mike Evans (hamstring) still uncertain for Week 16, the rookie could certainly be primed for another busy day of route running versus the Panthers in that contest. Whether that translates to much production remains to be seen, however -- Darden has just six…read more

Sticks to returns in return
Darden logged three snaps from scrimmage without a target in the Buccaneers' 33-27 overtime win over the Bills on Sunday, but he returned three kickoffs for 38 yards and one punt for 10 yards.
Analysis: The rookie wideout saw Tyler Johnson and Breshad Perriman absorb the majority of wideout snaps behind the top duo of Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, not an unexpected development even with Antonio Brown (ankle/suspension) and Scotty Miller (coach's decision) both unavailable. Darden is likely to stick to returns in a Week 15 Sunday night matchup against the Saints.

Will play Sunday
Darden has been cleared from concussion protocol and will play against the Bills on Sunday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Analysis: After he was previously listed as questionable, Darden's return will provide a big boost to Tampa Bay's special teams unit as the 22-year-old is a talented kick returner. Additionally, Darden adds some depth at the wide receiver position for Buccaneers.

Questionable for Sunday
Darden (concussion) is questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Bills.
Analysis: Darden was a full participant in every practice this week, but he still carries a questionable designation heading into the weekend. The 5-foot-8 wideout has mostly operated as a return specialist this season, and if he is unable to suit up Sunday, Tyler Johnson and Giovani Bernard will likely handle those duties again.

Won't play Sunday
Darden (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Falcons, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Despite registering a full practice Thursday, Darden wasn't able to practice with contact at all this week and has been officially ruled out for Week 13. The 5-foot-8 wideout has mostly operated as a return specialist this season, so in his absence, Tyler Johnson and Giovani Bernard are the most likely candidates to handle those duties against the Falcons.

Full practice Thursday
Darden (concussion) was a full participant at Thursday's practice, Carmen Vitali of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Analysis: The 22-year-old picked up the head injury in Week 12 versus the Colts but appears like he will have a shot at being available for Sunday's matchup with the Falcons. He wore a non-contact jersey Thursday, so if he's able to take contact Friday, it would be an encouraging sign. Darden has operated mostly as a return specialist this season, racking up 212 kick-return yards and 87 yards on punts.

Concussion confirmed
Coach Bruce Arians said Monday that Darden has entered concussion protocol, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Analysis: Darden racked up 66 kick-return yards before being knocked out of Sunday's 38-31 win over the Colts. If he is unable to clear concussion protocols before Week 13 at Atlanta, then Giovani Bernard is expected to handle kick-return duties, while Scotty Miller would likely handle punt returns.

Darden is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return Sunday against the Colts, Carmen Vitali of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Downturn in production
Darden brought in in his only target for three yards, returned a kickoff for 13 yards and ran back a punt for nine yards in the Buccaneers' 30-10 win over the Giants on Monday night.
Analysis: Darden garnered active status once again with Antonio Brown (ankle) and Scotty Miller (toe) still sidelined, logging a total of 15 snaps between offense and special teams. The rookie has been serviceable on returns thus far with 230 total yards in that capacity; consequently, he could continue finding himself on the active roster even when Brown and Miller are available, the latter notably having been activated from injured reserve Tuesday.

Garners 94 all-purpose yards
Darden secured one of two targets for 29 yards in the Buccaneers' 29-19 loss to Washington on Sunday. He also returned two kickoffs for 51 yards and ran back two punts for 14 yards.
Analysis: Darden logged just four snaps from scrimmage but made good use of them with his 29-yard grab, and he continued to put in solid work on returns as well. The rookie has gotten an opportunity on offense over the last three games with Antonio Brown (ankle) out of action, and that could carry over into a Week 11 Monday night battle against the Giants.

Relatively busy day in loss
Darden secured all three targets for 11 yards, returned three punts for 14 yards and ran back one kickoff for 17 yards in the Buccaneers' 36-27 loss to the Saints on Sunday.
Analysis: The rookie had a role on offense for the second straight game with Antonio Brown (ankle) once again inactive, and after failing to bring in his only target Week 7, Darden was able to crack the stat sheet in that regard Sunday. The speedster also continued in his usual role as the full-time returner, and despite the relatively encouraging involvement from scrimmage Sunday, his special-teams work figures to be his primary calling card once Brown is back to health, likely for a Week 10 date at…read more

Fills both returner roles
Darden failed to bring in his only target, rushed once for 11 yards, returned one punt for 43 yards and ran back one kickoff for 17 yards in the Buccaneers' 38-3 win over the Bears on Sunday.
Analysis: With Antonio Brown (ankle) and Scotty Miller (toe) unavailable and Jaydon Mickens no longer on the roster, the rookie got a solid amount of opportunity on both offense and special teams against Chicago. Darden was in on 13 plays from scrimmage in addition to his six special-teams snaps, and with Brown and Miller still expected out in Week 8 against the Saints, it appears Darden is set to garner active status for the second consecutive game.

Active for second time as pro
Darden is active for Sunday's game against the Bears and is in line to serve as the top kickoff and punt returner in addition to filling the No. 4 receiver role.
Analysis: Darden will garner active status for only the second time in his rookie season, and with Jaydon Mickens no longer on the roster, he'll be counted on to fill both returner roles. Additionally, Antonio Brown's (ankle) inactive status also projects to vault Darden into the No. 4 wideout spot behind the trio of Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Tyler Johnson.

Darden (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Eagles.
Analysis: Darden was selected by the Buccaneers in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft, but he'll be held out for the fifth time in the first six weeks of the season. The 22-year-old played mainly on special teams in his lone appearance this year.

Darden (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Sunday versus the Dolphins.
Analysis: Darden continues to wait his turn for a regular role in the Buccaneers' game plan, sitting out for the fourth time in five games to kick off his career.

Healthy scratch Sunday
Darden (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Sunday at New England.
Analysis: With return man Jaydon Mickens (abdomen) sidelined Week 3, Darden was a part of the game-day roster against the Rams, seeing three snaps on offense and 10 on special teams. But with Mickens back in the fold Sunday, Darden will be a healthy scratch for the third time this season.

Makes first career catch
Darden hauled in his only target for no gain, returned two kickoffs for 48 yards and ran back one punt for four yards in the Buccaneers' 34-24 loss to the Rams on Sunday.
Analysis: Darden was active for the first time in his NFL career with Jaydon Mickens (abdomen) sidelined, and as expected, the majority of his touches came while filling the latter's returner roles. Darden logged only three snaps from scrimmage overall, but if he's active again Week 4 against the Patriots, he may have a chance for at least a slight bump in opportunity with Scotty Miller (toe) projected to be unavailable.

Active for first time as pro
Darden is active for the first time in his career Sunday against the Rams with Jaydon Mickens (abdomen) inactive, and the rookie could see some snaps on offense in addition to his work as a returner, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The speedy rookie flashed at times during preseason and now will have a chance to show what he's capable of for the first time in regular-season action. Darden is likely to handle both kickoff and punt returns against Los Angeles, but with Antonio Brown (reserve/COVID-19) unavailable, the fourth-round pick could rotate in on offense as a No. 4 WR option for Tom Brady.

Inactive in Week 2
Darden (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 2 tilt against the Falcons.
Analysis: The speedy rookie was also a spectator for the Week 1 win over the Cowboys. Darden will likely have trouble making many inroads on a deep receiver depth chart as long as there isn't a rash of injuries, but he's believed to have plenty of potential as a return man. However, veteran Jaydon Mickens will handle the latter duties again versus Atlanta on Sunday.

Pro debut to wait
Darden (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Thursday against the Cowboys.
Analysis: Darden thus will be in street clothes to start his career, like recent Bucs rookie wide receivers Tyler Johnson (in 2020 as a fifth-rounder) and Scotty Miller (in 2019 as a sixth-rounder). A fourth-round pick himself, Darden may take a few games to break through and be active on game days.

Primary Week 1 punt returner
Darden will serve as the Buccaneers' primary punt returner in Thursday night's Week1 matchup against the Cowboys, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Analysis: The rookie's strong performances throughout preseason and his natural skills for the position were enough to secure him a roster spot, essentially at the expense of veteran Jaydon Mickens. Darden will now be trusted with an important role against Dallas despite the fact he never dealt with any of the most difficult return scenarios in preseason, such as having to make a decision on whether to field a punt inside the 20-yard line.

Impressive in multiple roles
Darden brought in three of five targets for 35 yards, returned one kickoff for 16 yards and ran back one punt for 17 yards in the Buccaneers' 23-16 preseason win over the Texans on Saturday night.
Analysis: The rookie recorded multiple receptions for the third time in as many exhibitions while once again making an impact on special teams. Darden also totaled 51 yards on four punt returns this preseason, an impressive showing that could well have vaulted him over Jaydon Mickens for the job.

Another busy day Saturday
Darden secured two of four targets for 18 yards and returned three punts for 34 yards in the Buccaneers' 34-3 preseason loss to the Titans on Saturday night. He also fumbled once but recovered.
Analysis: Darden continued to enjoy a solid role by preseason standards Saturday, upping his involvement after logging three total touches in the exhibition opener against the Bengals. He's brought in just four of 10 targets over the first two preseason games, but he looked good as a punt returner Saturday, with the highlight of his night in that department a 19-yard return.

Pair of grabs in preseason opener
Darden secured two of six targets for 19 yards and returned one kickoff for 12 yards in the Buccaneers' 19-14 preseason loss to the Bengals on Saturday night.
Analysis: The speedy rookie wasn't exactly efficient with his opportunities in the passing game, but he got on the stat sheet in his first action as a pro and also was given a chance to make an impression on special teams. Darden caught the eye of head coach Bruce Arians with both his natural ability and on-field growing pains, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports. "He looked like a rookie. He's hand-fighting too much instead of just using his speed," Arians said. "It's just things he's got to…read more

Starting to stand out
Darden has made a positive early impression over the first few days of training camp while getting some opportunities to work with the first-team offense, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports. "Yeah, he's going to keep flashing," said head coach Bruce Arians. "That's why he's out there with Tom and those guys. He's learning you don't just run - get the head around because that ball's already in the air. He knows how to get open and it's just letting him finish now."
Analysis: The speedy fourth-round rookie has already managed to shake free against some of the Buccaneers' top defenders and is undoubtedly benefitting from an opportunity to already get some work in with Tom Brady. Darden has also proven quick to put any jitters behind him, as he's already displaying much more consistent hands following a drop-heavy first training camp session Sunday. That was particularly on display during Tuesday's practice, when Darden made a diving touchdown catch on a Brady pass…read more

Darden (hamstring) was impressive during OTAs and is expected to compete for both the punt and kick return jobs, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Darden was absent from some of minicamp due to a hamstring issue, but overall he made a strong impact. While he was reportedly fearless over the middle in terms of receiving, his biggest impact could potentially come in the return game.
