Hansen was waived by the Falcons on Monday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hansen was cut loose after signing a reserve/future contract with the team in January and spending the end of last season on the practice squad. The 27-year-old wideout previously had short stints on the Saints' and Lions' practice squads and last saw regular season action in 2020 with the Texans when he recorded 17 receptions for 236 yards and one touchdown over five games.

Hansen was signed to a reserve/future contract with the Falcons on Monday, Scott Bair of the Falcons' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hansen signed with the Falcons' practice squad on Dec. 21 after a stint with the Saints. He was selected in the fourth round by the Jets in the 2017 Draft, and he last appeared in the NFL with the Texans in 2020, where he caught 17 balls on 24 targets for 236 yards and a touchdown.

Hansen was signed to the Falcons' practice squad Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Hansen has spent time with the Saints and Lions this season but has yet to appear in a game. Selected by the Jets in the fourth round of the 2017 draft, Hansen hasn't had a regular role since his rookie season. He most recently played five games with the Texans in 2020, compiling 17 catches on 24 targets for 236 yards and a touchdown. Hansen will now focus on making the Falcons' active roster before the 2021 season closes, or at least prove he deserves another chance in 2022.

Hansen was signed to the Saints' practice squad Saturday, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hansen has struggled to hold down a consistent role in the NFL, but New Orleans' lack of established wide receivers could offer Hansen a chance to make an impact if he's able to work his way up to the active roster. The 26-year-old wide receiver has 26 catches in 20 career NFL appearances, and this signing suggests Hansen's over the undisclosed injury he had previously been dealing with.

Hansen (undisclosed) was waived with an injury settlement Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Hansen's injury remains undisclosed but as long as he clears through waivers, he should revert to the Lions injured reserve list for the 2021 season. The wide receiver has bounced around the league since joining in 2017, as Detroit is his seventh team of his career.

Hansen has signed a contract with the Lions.

EDGE Analysis

Hansen was taken by the Jets in the 2017 NFL Draft. He did not ultimately do much in New York, as he ended his rookie season with just nine receptions for 94 yards before failing to make the team the following year. Since, he has spent time with the Patriots, Titans, Broncos, Saints and Texans. One thing he has going for him in Detroit, is that he played collegiate ball with quarterback Jared Goff

Hansen was released by the Texans on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hansen made his Texans debut in Week 13 of the 2020 season, marking his first NFL appearance since his 2017 rookie campaign. The California product erupted for five receptions and 101 yards, and he followed it up with back-to-back weeks of at least 55 receiving yards. However, he tapered off at the end of the year. The 26-year-old will now look for a new team.

Hansen caught two of four targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 41-38 loss to the Titans.

EDGE Analysis

Hansen, who recorded 14 catches for 212 yards during a three-game stretch from Week 13 to 15, has been quiet since. Over the last two weeks, Hansen caught just three balls for 24 yards. He has one year left on his contract, and his status among the wideouts depends on a few factors, the first being the individuals who are hired to become general manager and head coach. Beyond that, the Texans will have to decide whether or not to re-sign Will Fuller (suspended), who becomes an unrestricted free agent.

Hansen caught one of three targets for eight yards in Sunday's 37-31 loss to the Bengals.

EDGE Analysis

Hansen, who was active for the fourth straight game after sitting on the practice squad the first 12 weeks, was of little significance Sunday despite playing 50 snaps (96 percent). Over his first three games, Hansen has caught 14 passes for 212 yards (15.1 YPC), including a 38-yard touchdown. He's played 90 percent of the offensive snaps over those four games and is expected have a significant snap count Week 17 against the Titans.

Hansen recorded two receptions on three targets for 55 yards and a touchdown in Week 15 against the Colts.

EDGE Analysis

Hansen predictably saw his target volume fall with the return of Brandin Cooks. However, he still managed to record a 38-yard touchdown on a broken coverage play just before halftime. While Hansen's volume will be unreliable to close the season, he should continue to have a chance to produce with Will Fuller suspended. He'll draw a Week 16 matchup against the Bengals.
