Sims had one reception for nine yards on his only target in Sunday's win over Washington.

EDGE Analysis

It was surprising to see Sims get a target as he'd played just ten snaps on offense since joining the Vikings in October. However, the Vikings used plenty of three-tight-end sets in the win. Sims isn't likely to get more than a few targets the rest of the season unless injuries strike T.J. Hockenson and Josh Oliver, however.

Sims (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions.

EDGE Analysis

The tight end was claimed off waivers by the Vikings on Monday and appeared to have a chance to play, with Josh Oliver dealing with a foot injury. Oliver is also inactive, but the Vikings are riding with T.J. Hockenson, Ben Yurosek and Nick Vannett for Sunday's contest. Vannett was elevated from the practice squad Saturday.

The Vikings claimed Sims off waivers from the Packers on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Sims was waived by the Packers on Saturday, but he'll remain in the NFC North as a member of the Vikings, and his move corresponds with Carson Wentz (shoulder) being placed on injured reserve. Sims will give Minnesota added depth at tight end, and the third-year pro could have a meaningful role behind T.J. Hockenson and Ben Yurosek for this Sunday's game against the Lions if Josh Oliver (foot) is unable to play. Sims mostly played on special teams across his three-regular season appearances for the Packers prior to his removal from the roster.

Green Bay waived Sims on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The Packers needed to clear a spot on the 53-man roster in order to activate wideout Christian Watson (knee) from the reserve/PUP list, and Sims was consequently cut. Sims had gotten into three games prior to being let go but logged only one offensive snap along with 14 snaps on special teams.

Sims (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Commanders, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sims will be a healthy scratch for a second straight game, and his next chance to make his 2025 debut is Week 3 against the Browns on Sunday, Sept. 21. Tucker Kraft, Luke Musgrave and John FitzPatrick will be the Packers' active tight ends for Thursday's clash.

Sims (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sims will be in street clothes for Sunday's regular-season opener while Tucker Kraft, Luke Musgrave and John FitzPatrick serve as the Packers' active tight ends. Sims' next chance to make his 2025 regular-season debut is Thursday against the Commanders.

Sims was targeted five times and caught four passes for 42 yards across 17 games in the 2024 season.

EDGE Analysis

Sims appeared in every regular-season game the Packers played in 2024 and served as the backup tight end while Luke Musgrave missed 10 weeks, but he was mainly limited to blocking duties. The Packers know what they have in the third-year player, which bodes well for his chances of retaining a roster spot in 2025. However, chances are Green Bay will look to bring in at least another option behind starting tight end Tucker Kraft.

Sims was targeted twice and caught two passes for 38 yards in Sunday's 34-13 victory over the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Sims took over the backup tight end spot with Luke Musgrave (ankle) landing on injured reserve, and he recorded his first two receptions of the season, including a career-best 28-yard catch. Expect him to continue working as the No. 2 tight end behind Tucker Kraft until Musgrave is ready to return.

Sims played all seven of his snaps on special teams in the Packers' 34-29 loss to the Eagles on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Outside of situations in which the Packers want to get an extra blocker on the field, Sims will likely struggle to find a role on offense while both of Green Bay's top two tight ends, Tucker Kraft and Luke Musgrave, are available. Sims appeared in all 17 regular-season games as a rookie in 2023 and finished with a 4-21-1 receiving line on six targets.

Sims caught one pass for 10 yards in Sunday's preseason game against the Broncos.

EDGE Analysis

After being blanked in Green Bay's first exhibition contest, Sims made at least a minor mark in his next opportunity. He sits third on the depth chart at his position with one preseason game to go.
