The Panthers waived Traore (knee) off injured reserve with an injury settlement Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

Traore was set to miss all of 2024 after being placed on the Panthers' IR in late August, but after Monday's injury settlement, he is now free to sign elsewhere once he proves that he's recovered from his knee injury.

Traore (knee) reverted to the Panthers' injured-reserve list Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Traore hurt his knee in Carolina's preseason opener against New England on Aug. 8 and was waived/injured this Thursday. The offensive tackle cleared waivers and has consequently reverted to IR. Traore will miss the 2024 campaign unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Panthers.

Carolina waived/injured Traore (knee) on Thursday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Traore has been nursing a knee injury he sustained in Carolina's preseason opener against New England. He will revert to the Panthers' injured reserve if he clears waivers. That would force Traore to miss the entire 2024 season unless an injury settlement is reached.

Traore left Thursday's preseason game against the Patriots in the second quarter with a knee injury and is questionable to return, Kassidy Hill of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carolina entered Thursday's contest with just seven offensive lineman, per Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site. Traore was able to walk off the field after his injury, and Andrew Raym entered the game in the former's absence, per Gantt.

Traore (undisclosed) was restored to the practice squad from the practice squad injured list Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Traore injured his knee while in training camp with the Bears before being waived, but it is not known if the same injury is why he was placed on the practice squad IR. Traore spent all of 2020 on the Bears' practice squad and still has not appeared in an NFL game. He'll try to change that with Jacksonville before the 2021 season ends.

The Jaguars signed Pleasants (undisclosed) to their practice squad and then placed him on the injured list Friday, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pleasants has been dealing with an undisclosed injury, but the signing suggests that he may be near a return. The 24-year-old injured his knee during a training camp practice with the Bears, but he wasn't listed on the injury report when he was released. The Jaguars recently placed A.J. Cann (knee) on IR, so they may be looking to add some offensive line depth to their active roster.

The Bears waived Traore on Tuesday, Adam Hoge of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

Traore was carted off the field during practice last week after injuring his knee, but the Bears did not list him as injured when he was waived. He was competing for a depth roster spot at offensive tackle. With Teven Jenkins -- the Bears second-round pick -- out for the season, Chicago will have to choose between Elijah Wilkinson and Jason Peters to protect Andy Dalton's blindside.

Coach Matt Nagy said Wednesday that Traore is dealing with a knee injury, Jeff Joniak of WBBM-AM & 105.9FM reports.

EDGE Analysis

Traore had to be carted off the field during Tuesday's practice, per Chris Emma of 670 The Score. He is competing for a depth roster spot at offensive tackle.

The Bears placed Traore (undisclosed) on the practice squad injured list Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear exactly what Traore is dealing with, but he'll remain away from the team for at least three weeks as he recovers.

The Bears activated Traore from the practice squad COVID-19 list Friday, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

As evidenced by this news, Traore turned in two negative COVID-19 test results at least 24 hours apart in order to rejoin football activities. He'll return to the team's practice squad to push for a 53-man roster spot around the league.
