Kuhn will officially retire from the NFL as a member of the Packers.
EDGE Analysis
After going undrafted out of Shippensburg in 2005, Kuhn followed a brief stint in Pittsburgh with a phenomenal stretch in Green Bay in which the fullback was named first-team All-Pro in 2014 and second-team All-Pro in 2011. After cutting ties with the Packers in 2016, Kuhn tried to keep his career alive in New Orleans, but he hasn't re-entered the league since finishing the 2017 season on injured reserve with a torn biceps. Kuhn will retire with over 1,300 total yards, 19 rushing touchdowns, nine receiving scores and a pair of Super Bowl rings.

The Saints and Kuhn (biceps) have a mutual interest in the fullback returning to New Orleans in 2018, Herbie Teope of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kuhn's 2017 campaign came to a close in Week 2 when he tore his biceps, and the 35-year-old was subsequently placed on injured reserve shortly thereafter. Although he was designated to return from IR in late December, the Saints never formally activated him to the 53-man roster before the team's season ended with a postseason loss to the Vikings. It isn't clear when Kuhn will be back to full health, but the 2014 All-Pro fullback could have a number of suitors on the open market if he and the Saints ultimately can't agree to a new deal.

Kuhn (biceps) has been designated as one of the Saints's two players that can return from injured serve, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kuhn resumed practicing Wednesday and will be eligible to return to the 53-man roster for the divisional round of the playoffs (if the Saints get that far). Given how well the New Orleans rushing attack has performed with Zach Line at fullback, it's not entirely clear where Kuhn would fit in on offense.

Kuhn (biceps) underwent surgery Tuesday, Herbie Teope of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kuhn's surgery was performed by Dr. James Andrews in Florida, and it will effectively keep him sidelined for the rest of the season. The 35-year-old just signed on for this season with the Saints, so whether he stays with them for another season may be an offseason decision.

Kuhn (biceps) was placed on injured reserve, Adam Kaplan of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Kuhn tore his biceps while practicing in London and will require surgery, effectively ending his season. Unless they bring in someone else on short notice, the Saints won't have a fullback available for Sunday's matchup with the Dolphins.

Kuhn re-signed with the Saints on Monday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Despite not being on the active roster, Kuhn was present for the Saints' Week 3 victory over the Panthers and then traveled with the team to London in advance of a Week 4 matchup with the Dolphins. Thus, Monday's signing was totally anticipated. However, as nothing more than fourth in line for carries behind Mark Ingram, Adrian Peterson and Alvin Kamara, Kuhn's fantasy value remains minimal.

Kuhn is expected to re-sign with the Saints this week, Josh Katzenstein of the Times-Picayune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kuhn is aboard a flight to London as the Saints travel overseas for Week 4's matchup against the Dolphins, so it's clear they plan to have the fullback on the roster once again. He'll primarily serve as a blocker, but could vulture goal-line carries under certain circumstances.

Kuhn was released Thursday by the Saints, Herbie Teope of The Times-Picayune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kuhn re-signed with the Saints on Sept. 6, but he will now be released for the second time this season so that the team can bring in defensive lineman Kendall Langsford. Teope reports that Kuhn may soon have an opportunity to return to the organization yet again.

Kuhn has been brought back by the Saints, The New Orleans Advocate reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kuhn was released earlier by the Saints in a procedural move that allowed the team to make multiple waiver claims, but the expectation was that the fullback would ultimately be brought back. It took just three days for Kuhn to officially become a Saint again, and despite dealing with a minor calf injury, he is on track to take the field Week 1. Kuhn has plenty of experience in short yardage situations, though New Orleans currently has too crowded of a backfield for the trustworthy fullback to become fantasy relevant.

Kuhn (calf) was released by the Saints on Sunday, John Katzenstein of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kuhn is currently dealing with a minor calf injury, and despite being expected to take the field from Week 1, he was cut in order to make room for a pair of waiver claims made by the Saints this weekend. Kuhn has established himself as one of the most reliable fullbacks in the NFL, however, so he should be high priority for any team with a need at the position.
