Lanier received a workout with the Giants Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lanier was waived with an injury settlement by the Saints in September of 2020 due to an undisclosed injury, and he has yet to sign with a team since. Last seeing NFL action in 2017 with Washington and now apparently healthy, Lanier is working to earn another NFL contract.

Lanier (undisclosed) was removed from injured reserve with an injury settlement, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

After signing with the Saints on Aug. 29, Lanier was forced to injured reserve with an undisclosed injury. Lanier has appeared on the roster of several NFL teams, most recently Kansas City and Washington in addition to New Orleans.

Lanier (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Katherine Terrell of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lanier signed with the Saints on Aug. 29, so he was a longshot to make the team on short notice. His injury was unfortunate timing as well, as the defensive end will be forced to miss the entire 2020 season.

Lanier is signing with the Saints, Ian Rapaport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lanier will provide depth but doesn't figure to see much game action with New Orleans. He appeared in 11 games for Washington in 2017 and started two, but Lanier hasn't suited up in an NFL game since.

Lanier was cut by the Chiefs on Tuesday, freelance NFL writer Howard Balzer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lanier signed a reserve/future contract with the Chiefs after the end of the regular season. The 26-year-old hasn't seen game action since 2017 with Washington.

Lanier was signed to the Chargers' active roster Thursday, Ricky Henne of the Chargers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lanier was signed to the Chargers' practice squad in November. He posted five sacks for the Redskins in 2017 and could provide some quality backup snaps to the Chargers down the stretch this season. Look for him to operate as a depth pass rusher and special teams player while with the Chargers.

Lanier (hip) was waived by Washington on Monday, Jake Kring-Schreifels of the Redskins' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's a bit of a surprising move by the Redskins, considering Lanier was impressive in a limited showing last season, registering five sacks over the final seven games of the 2017 regular season. The third-year pro has been dealing with a hip flexor over the past few days, so there is a chance he may end up back on the Redskins' injured reserve list should he clear waivers.

Lanier picked up two sacks in Sunday's 20-15 victory over the CArdinals.

EDGE Analysis

Lanier also recorded an impressive three passes defended in the contest. The 24-year-old defensive end has now logged five sacks in as many games. He did all his damage in just 54 snaps (64.0 percent).

Lanier (knee) is active for Thursday's game against the Giants, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lanier was limited in practices for the second consecutive week, but it shouldn't affect his abilities Thursday night. Regardless, he's still only deployed for around 30 defensive snaps per game, so he's not a consistent fantasy threat.

Lanier (knee) is active for Sunday's game against New Orleans.

EDGE Analysis

Lanier was limited in practice throughout the week but isn't expected to be limited much Sunday. The return of Matthew Ioannidis (hand) gives the Redskins' some added defensive line depth and could result in a slight snap reduction for Lanier.
