Cunningham (coach's decision) is listed as inactive ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham was claimed off waivers by the Ravens earlier in the month, but he has yet to suit up. While he is the fourth quarterback on the depth chart, the versatile player was also expected to practice with the wide receiver group. His next chance to debut with the team will come in the regular-season finale next week versus the Steelers.

Head coach John Harbaugh said Wednesday that Baltimore's signing of Cunningham was a move for the future, and the rookie will practice with the team as a quarterback and wide receiver, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham will be the team's fourth quarterback on the active roster after they signed him off the Patriots' practice squad Tuesday. While all of Lamar Jackson, Tyler Huntley and Josh Johnson are healthy and available, Cunningham's likeliest path to playing time in the short term is at receiver, or as a gadget player on offense. in a corresponding move, the Ravens placed wideout/return man Devin Duvernay (back) on injured reserve.

The Ravens will sign Cunningham off the Patriots' practice squad Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
In Baltimore, the undrafted rookie will reunite with Lamar Jackson, a college teammate of his at Louisville during the 2017 season. Though not nearly as adept as Jackson as a passer or runner, Cunningham still possesses a dual-threat skill set that should allow the Ravens to keep their usual game plan in place if Jackson is to miss time at any point. Cunningham will initially slot behind Jackson and two other dual-threat signal-callers in Tyler Huntley and Josh Johnson on the depth chart, though it wouldn't be surprising if the Ravens waived the 37-year-old Johnson in the near future to allow Cunningham to move up to third in the pecking order.

Cunningham reverted back to the Patriots' practice squad Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham was elevated to the team's active roster ahead of Thursday's 21-18 win over the Steelers but didn't see any action in the contest. The versatile quarterback/receiver remains a candidate for promotion in the coming weeks, but New England's quarterback situation may have stabilized, at least temporarily, after Bailey Zappe completed 19 of 28 pass attempts for 240 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in the win over Pittsburgh.

Cunningham has been elevated to the Patriots' active roster from the practice squad ahead of Thursday's game against the Steelers, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham also was elevated in advance of this past Sunday's 6-0 loss to Chargers but didn't see any action in the contest. This time around, Cunningham is available to provide the Patriots with depth at quarterback and wide receiver and could log some snaps versus Pittsburgh on designed plays behind projected starting signal-caller Bailey Zappe. Cunningham may be more needed at receiver, however, with Demario Douglas (concussion) and Kayshon Boutte (shoulder) ruled out and with DeVante Parker (knee) and JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) listed as questionable.

Cunningham reverted to the Patriots' practice squad Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham was active for Sunday's 6-0 loss to the Chargers but didn't log any snaps in the game, per Evan Lazar of the team's official site. Leading up to the contest, it was reported that the Patriots had a package of plays drawn up for Cunningham in their Week 13 game plan, but he ultimately wasn't called upon, either as a quarterback or as a wide receiver. Given the ongoing uncertainty surrounding New England's signal-caller situation, Cunningham is a candidate to be elevated once again ahead of Thursday night's game against the Steelers.

Cunningham is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Meanwhile, Bailey Zappe is expected to start Sunday's contest, while Mac Jones is also on hand. With the versatile Cunningham in uniform Sunday, the undrafted rookie could potentially see some QB snaps in designed packages and offer the team some WR depth, with both Demario Douglas (concussion) and Kayshon Boutte (shoulder/illness) out. In that context, Cunningham remains a speculative fantasy option in Week 13.

Cunningham was elevated to the Patriots' active roster Saturday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham could wind up as the top backup behind Bailey Zappe given the coaching staff has seemingly lost faith in Mac Jones, but the Patriots have been coy in terms of ways in which the rookie quarterback could be incorporated into the offense. Cunningham has been active for one game this season, serving as a backup to then starter Jones in Week 6.

Cunningham has cleared waivers and is slated to re-sign with the Patriots' practice squad, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham -- who served as Mac Jones' top backup in Week 6 -- was waived by the Patriots after being inactive this past Sunday, but the versatile QB/WR is back with the team in short order and is thus a candidate for elevation in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, Bailey Zappe (New England's No. 2 QB in Week 7) and Will Grier remain on the active roster ahead of this weekend's game against the Dolphins.

The Patriots waived Cunningham on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
New England signed Cunningham of its practice squad ahead of a Week 6 matchup with the Raiders, and the undrafted rookie proceeded to play six offensive snaps and record no stats. He then was inactive this past Sunday versus the Bills. Following Tuesday's transaction, Cunningham is a candidate to end up back on the Patriots' practice squad if he clears waivers.
