EDGE Analysis
Helm signed with the Lions on Aug. 2 after being waived by the Falcons in May. He played in two of three preseason games for Detroit but failed to record a catch. He'll likely have to settle for a practice squad spot as he looks for an opportunity elsewhere.

Helm was signed to the Raiders' roster Monday, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.
EDGE Analysis
The timing of the signing will give Helm two weeks to acclimate to his new surroundings, as the Raiders are heading into their Week 8 bye. This addition of a tight end is bound to raise some eyebrows over the status of Darren Waller (ankle), who sat out Vegas' Week 7 win over Philadelphia.

Helm was waived by the 49ers on Tuesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old re-signed with San Francisco in mid-March but won't remain with the team through the offseason. Helm made his NFL debut in 2020 and wasn't targeted in five games.

Helm signed with the 49ers on Wednesday, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.
EDGE Analysis
Helm suited up in five games -- his first NFL appearances -- for the 49ers in 2020, logging just 28 offensive snaps. The 25-year-old didn't provide much offensive upside at Duke. He'll need to battle for a roster spot during training camp.

Helm reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Helm collected seven of his 11 total snaps on offense during Saturday's 20-12 win over Arizona, but he remains without a reception over five appearances this season. George Kittle's Week 16 activation from a foot injury does nothing to improve Helm's potential involvement in the passing game moving forward.
