Harkey was released by the Rams on Saturday, Jamie Han of the Rams' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harkey evidently didn't make enough of an impression in the preseason to warrant a roster spot. As a vested veteran, he isn't subject to waivers and is eligible to sign elsewhere immediately.

Harkey caught two of three targets for 18 yards during Saturday's preseason win over Oakland.

EDGE Analysis

Harkey wasn't targeted in the first game of the preseason against Dallas, and he played just 13 offensive snaps. He ran with the second-term offense Saturday but was still on the field for only 19 offensive snaps. With Gerald Everett and Tyler Higbee the clear top-two tight ends in the passing attack, Harkey's a long shot to garner fantasy value in 2017. The 27-year-old will likely crack the roster and continue being utilized primarily as a blocker, though.

Harkey (triceps) was removed from the non-football injury list Saturday, Rich Hammond of the Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although he ended last season on IR due to a triceps injury, Harkey didn't actually log one snap in 2016. Now healthy, expect him to contend with Temarrick Hemingway for the third spot on the tight end depth chart in training camp.

Harkey has been placed on the injured reserve with a triceps injury, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harkey injured his triceps working in practice on Friday and was unable to play in Week 14. His absence will likely open up work for Temarrick Hemingway at tight end.

Harkey has inked an undisclosed deal to remain with the Rams, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Jared Cook gone, Harkey should play a larger role in the offense as the Rams love two-tight end sets. He only had five catches for 26 yards last season and is primarily a blocker, but should see at least a minor spike in production in 2016.

Harkey caught a 21-yard pass on his lone target Thursday in a 12-6 loss to the Cardinals. Harkey is primarily used as a blocker for St. Louis but will catch an occasional pass. He has seven catches for 54 yards and a score this season.

Harkey (quadriceps) is active for Sunday's game against the Chargers. Both Harkey and Jared Cook (back) will play, but both are significantly banged-up, which could lead to increased opportunities for Lance Kendricks.

Harkey (quadriceps) is questionable for Sunday's game against San Diego. Harkey logged just one limited practice appearance all week, so it sounds like he's significantly hobbled heading into Sunday. With Jared Cook (back) also questionable, Lance Kendricks could see more work than usual.

Harkey (knee) is active Sunday against the Cowboys, Myles Simmons of the Rams' official site reports. On a positive note, Harkey has hauled in every pass directed this way in 2014. However, he only has three targets to his name, as he sits behind fellow tight ends Jared Cook and Lance Kendricks in the pecking order.

Harkey (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against Dallas. Harkey made just one limited practice showing this week Friday, so there's a decent chance that he might sit against the Cowboys. Lance Kendricks should see a couple extra snaps if Harkey sits.
