Cleveland didn't receive a qualifying offer or minimum tender from the Chargers and has become an unrestricted free agent, per the league's official transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

Cleveland spent the entire 2017 season on injured reserve due to an undisclosed injury. However, he recently met with the Patriots this offseason, according to Zack Cox of the New England Sports Network, and there hasn't been any indication said injury is still a concern.

Cleveland (undisclosed) reverted to injured reserve Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Cleveland had been waived/injured Monday due to an undisclosed injury. Unless he agrees to an injury settlement with the Chargers, he's likely stuck on IR throughout the end of the 2017 season.

Cleveland (undisclosed) was waived/injured by the Chargers on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Although it's unclear what the injury was, it probably doesn't take much to cut a guy who has one reception in three NFL seasons. Cleveland is expected to clear waivers and revert to injured reserve by Wednesday.

Cleveland officially signed his exclusive rights tender on Monday, ESPN's Eric D. Williams reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cleveland will once again act as depth at the tight end spot for the Chargers, who already boast a formidable group of receiving options including Hunter Henry and Antonio Gates. With Sean McGrath likely ahead of Cleveland on the depth chart as well, it'll take plenty of injuries to guys above him for the 24-year-old to gain fantasy relevance.

Cleveland (coach's decision) is inactive for Saturday's Week 16 tilt versus the Browns, the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The reserve tight end unsurprisingly will be in street clothes once again, as Antonio Gates, Hunter Henry, and Sean McGrath will handle the reps at the position.

Cleveland (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Cleveland passed through the NFL's concussion protocol and was deemed available to play, but since he's buried on the depth chart at tight end, coach Mike McCoy chose not to keep him active. The 24-year-old has appeared in only four games this season and hasn't seen any targets.

Cleveland (concussion) does not appear on the Chargers' injury report to commence Week 14.

EDGE Analysis

Cleveland missed each of the past two games with a concussion, but appears to have cleared protocol. Thus, he could be back in action during Sunday's game in Carolina.

Cleveland (concussion) is inactive for Week 13.

EDGE Analysis

Cleveland was a full participant in practice all week, so his inactive designation for Sunday's game suggests that he may have failed some portion of the league's concussion protocol. The Chargers offense shouldn't be affected by Cleveland's absence, however, as he is fourth on the tight end depth chart.

Cleveland (concussion) is questionable to play Sunday against Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

Considering Cleveland was a full participant in every practice this week, he doesn't appear in any actual danger of missing Sunday's game.

Cleveland (concussion) is ruled out of Sunday's game against the Texans.

EDGE Analysis

Cleveland sustained a concussion last Sunday and went on to miss every practice this week. Considering he rests at the very bottom of the depth chart, his absence likely won't have much of an impact on the outcome of the game.
