Ware signed with Chicago's practice squad Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Matt Nagy declared Monday that Cordarrelle Patterson (knee) is day-to-day, but this signing signals that there may be more concern about the backup running back's status than before. Nevertheless, Ware will add backfield depth for the Bears as they look to keep their playoff hopes alive. The 29-year-old tailback played three games for the Chiefs last season, registering 39 yards on 13 touches.

The Raiders hosted Ware (shoulder) for a tryout Thursday, Albert Breer of TheMMQB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ware has yet to settle in with a team during the 2020 season after the Chiefs let him hit the free agency market last offseason. With Josh Jacobs (ankle) missing Thursday's practice, the team could be looking for running back depth heading into Week 13. Last season with the Chiefs, the veteran only rushed the ball 17 times for 51 yards across three games.

Ware (shoulder) will head into the 2020 offseason set to become an unrestricted free agent.

EDGE Analysis

Ware's knowledge of the offense paid off late in the season when the Chiefs were lacking depth at the position due to injury, resulting in Ware's addition to the roster. Unfortunately, his campaign ended just three weeks after it began due to a rotator cuff tear, landing him back in the free-agent market this offseason with an injury to boot. He'll likely have to prove to teams he's healthy ahead of 2020 before landing a gig.

Ware has been placed on IR due to a torn rotator cuff, Terez A. Paylor of Yahoo Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

With that, LeSean McCoy -- a healthy scratch Week 16 -- is a candidate to be active for Sunday's game against the Chargers, while fellow running backs Damien Williams and Darwin Thompson remain on as the Chiefs head into Week 17 and approach the upcoming postseason.

Ware (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game in Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

Ware didn't look to be in too much discomfort on the sidelines, but there's a good chance the Chiefs leave him out the rest of the way in a game that they're dominating. Expect Ware to maintain his role in the team's running back rotation moving forward.

Ware ran for 26 yards on seven carries and added nine yards on two catches during Sunday's 23-3 win over Denver.

EDGE Analysis

It was just his second game back in red and yellow, but Ware managed to tie for the team lead among running backs with nine touches Sunday. The Chiefs have split up the workload among Ware, Darwin Thompson and Shady McCoy in Damien Williams' (ribs) three-game absence, making it hard to put much faith in any of them. Ware, signed just two weeks ago, certainly has the freshest legs of the bunch, but -- whether or not Williams is ready Sunday -- Ware is a tough play against a very stout Chicago run defense.

Ware racked up five carries for 11 yards and reeled in one of his two passes for a loss of nine yards during Sunday's win over the Patriots.

EDGE Analysis

Ware actually led the way in offensive snaps at the running back position, taking the field for 40 percent. Even with the significant role, the veteran back was unable to produce much and his role may be headed for a reduction if Damien Williams (ribs) is cleared to return in Week 15 versus the Broncos.

Ware signed with the Chiefs on Tuesday, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ware has spent three seasons with the Chiefs, including 13 games last year where he compiled 470 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns. The Chiefs are bringing in Ware to support their injury-riddled backfield, as Damien Williams (ribs) and Darrel Williams (hamstring) are both uncertain for Week 14's clash against the Patriots. Ware could have an immediate role if neither of the Williams is healthy in time. LeSean McCoy and Darwin Thompson are the two other running backs. McCoy hasn't been productive lately, but Thompson showed promise by rushing for 44 yards and a score in Week 13's win over Oakland.

Ware (ankle) is scheduled to work out for the Cardinals on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ware will join fellow free-agent running back Jay Ajayi in trying out for Arizona on Tuesday, per Schefter. It appears as though Ware has managed to fully recover from the ankle surgery he underwent in the preseason. Ware's chance to earn a reserve gig with the Cardinals comes with David Johnson nursing an ankle injury as of late.

The Colts released Ware (ankle) on Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ware underwent ankle surgery early in the preseason. The accompanying timetable was 5-to-6 weeks, but the running back has made negligible progress with his recovery. While his current level of health is unknown, Ware will be subject to a physical whenever an interested organization comes calling.
