Green Bay signed Kaufusi to the practice squad Wednesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kaufusi established himself as a favorite of quarterback Aaron Rodgers this preseason, so it's no surprise to see him get a chance to continue his development via the practice squad. Since joining the NFL as a third-round pick of the Ravens back in 2016, Kaufusi has only appeared in nine career contests.

The Packers cut Kaufusi on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kaufusi has only played in nine NFL games over the past four years. The 2016 third-round pick was a long shot -- despite rave reviews from Aaron Rodgers -- to make the initial 53-man roster, as the Packers have experience and depth throughout their tight end corps. Green Bay will likely look to bring him back on its practice squad if he doesn't draw interest elsewhere.

Kaufusi signed a reserve/future contract with the Packers on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
A 2016 third-round pick, Kaufusi lost his rookie season to a broken ankle, and he's played in only nine NFL games over the past four years. The Packers have depth at tight end in their system, so Kaufusi will have a tough time securing a roster spot in 2021.

Kaufusi was waived by the Jets on Saturday, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kaufusi transitioned from defensive lineman to tight during during the course of training camp, so it always seemed unlikely the 29-year-old would be a part of the active roster to start. Look for Kaufusi to gain more reps at his new position on the team's practice squad.

Coach Adam Gase said Kaufusi has moved to tight end, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gase also said that the former defensive lineman could contribute on both sides of the ball, in which case he would provide the Jets with rare versatility. Kaufusi logged 3.5 tackles and a half-sack in three appearances last season.

Kaufusi was waived by the Jets on Friday, Eric Allen of the team's official website reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kaufusi was let go in order to get more offensive line depth on the 53-man roster. He had recorded 3.5 tackles and 0.5 sacks in three games this season. The 28-year-old could potentially land on the team's practice squad if he goes unclaimed off waivers.

Kaufusi signed his exclusive rights tender from the Jets on Monday, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kaufusi appeared in three games with the Jets last season, recording one defended pass across 45 defensive snaps. The 27-year-old will provide depth on the defensive line if he's able to make the 53-man roster, and could contribute on special teams.

Kaufusi was promoted to the Jets' 53-man roster Saturday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kaufusi spent four days on the active roster in October, and has otherwise been on the Jets' practice squad. The 27-year-old provides some depth on the defensive line, and takes the roster spot of Darron Lee following his four-game suspension.

Kaufusi was waived by the Jets on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Kaufusi was promoted to the active roster earlier in the week, but the team has ultimately opted to beef up their linebacker depth ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Raiders. Assuming he clears waivers, he will presumably revert back to the Jets' practice squad.

Kaufusi was promoted to the Jets' active roster Monday, Field Yates of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kaufusi takes the place of linebacker Josh Martin (concussion), who was placed on injured reserve Monday. The 2016 third-round selection has struggled with injuries early on in his career. If he can stay healthy, Kaufusi could become a special teams contributor.
