Watts agreed to an injury settlement Wednesday, per the league's official transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

Watts is now free from injured reserve and eligible to sign with another team.

Watts (back) was reverted to injured reserve Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The Dolphins' decision to keep Watts around following his clearance of waivers isn't surprising considering their affinity for his upside. Watts, however, will have to sit out the 2017 regular season.

Watts (back) was waived/injured by Miami on Saturday, Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

If Watts were healthy there is a good chance he would've made the team as the Dolphins are woefully thin at linebacker. The team may elect to bring him back once he does fully recover from the back injury.

Watts missed practice Sunday due to a back injury, Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

There is no word yet as to the severity of the injury or for how long Watts may be out of practice. The Dolphins have had several injuries at linebacker over the past few weeks so if Watts can get healthy and make the team he could be in for more playing time than initially expected as a backup.

Watts recorded seven tackles in the Vikings' final preseason game.

EDGE Analysis

Watts sat out the team's first two preseason contests with an undisclosed injury and only saw limited action in the third game, not recording any tackles. It remains to be seen if he'll make the 53-man roster, if he does it'll likely be due to special teams play rather than for his linebacker play, since he's played with the third team defense.

Watts did not participate in the team's joint practice with the Bengals Wednesday, his second straight absence from practice, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Mike Zimmer indicated that he didn't want to bring any injured players to Paul Brown Stadium, but didn't suggest that any of the injuries would result in extended time missed. A reserve linebacker, Watts could certainly use all of the reps he can get to prove he belongs on the 53-man roster, but the 25-year-old will likely make his biggest mark on special teams.

Watts had two tackles and played just 23 snaps at weak-side linebacker in Sunday's win at Oakland.

EDGE Analysis

Watts started at weak-side linebacker with Chad Greenway moving to middle linebacker while Eric Kendricks out with a rib injury. However, Watts has been coming off the field in nickel and passing situations, which limits his fantasy value.

Watts had two tackles and took over as the starting middle linebacker after Audie Cole suffered a broken ankle in the fourth quarter of Sunday's win over St. Louis, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cole got the start at middle linebacker with Eric Kendricks out due to a rib injury. It sounds like Kendricks could return next week. If not, Watts would likely start with Cole not expected to play again this season.

Watts (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bears. Watts injured his hamstring last week and will not be available for the regular season finale.

Watts left Sunday's game with a hamstring injury and is set to get an MRI, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Watts, a 2014 seventh-round draft pick, was active for the first time all season, but now his season may be over.
