The Chiefs waived Lynch on Saturday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lynch was let go along with defensive end BJ Thompson (chest) in order to clear space for incoming undrafted free agents. Lynch played in one game for Kansas City last season, tallying six tackles while playing 25 defensive snaps in the regular-season finale versus Denver. He hasn't had a significant role with an NFL club since playing in 16 regular-season contests and recording 2.0 sacks with Minnesota in 2021.

Lynch (undisclosed) was waived from injured reserve by the Chargers with an injury settlement Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lynch reverted to the Chargers' IR after going unclaimed off waivers. He was set to miss the 2023 season before the injury settlement was met. He'll be able to look for opportunities elsewhere once he returns to full health.

The Chargers waived Lynch (undisclosed) with an injury designation Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Lynch (hip) isn't listed on Thursday's injury report.
EDGE Analysis
Lynch missed last week's win over Pittsburgh with the hip injury but is ready to go for Week 15. The 24-year-old has 32 tackles (21 solo), two sacks and one forced fumble in 12 games this season.

Lynch (hip) is inactive for Thursday's game against Pittsburgh.
EDGE Analysis
Lynch seemingly got banged up during Sunday's loss to Detroit, as he played 100 percent of defensive snaps but landed on the injury report Monday. He logged limited practices both Tuesday and Wednesday, but that won't be enough for him to suit up. With Anthony Barr (knee) back in action, the Vikings should still be relatively strong at outside linebacker.

Lynch (hip) did not practice Monday, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lynch played 100 percent of defensive snaps during Sunday's divisional loss to the Lions, racking up nine tackles (six solo) and two sacks, along with a forced fumble and one fumble recovery. If Anthony Barr (knee/hamstring) and Eric Kendricks (biceps) aren't able to return in time for Thursday's matchup against the Steelers, Lynch, if healthy, will once again stand to handle an every-down gig.

Lynch started at weak-side linebacker and had six total tackles in Sunday's win at the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Lynch got the start with Anthony Barr out. However, he played just 18 snaps on defense, as he came off the field in passing situations with Nick Vigil and Eric Kendricks staying in dime and nickel packages.

Lynch had two total tackles in Sunday's overtime loss to the Bengals.
EDGE Analysis
Lynch played 16 snaps on defense and allowed a catch on the only throw targeted at him. Lynch will likely get most of his playing time on special teams as a reserve linebacker as he didn't see much action from scrimmage even with Anthony Barr out.
