Funchess (collarbone) has agreed to a one-year contract with the Packers, Jason Wilde of The Wisconsin State Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Funchess is signing a one-year deal for a second straight offseason, following a lost year in Indianapolis where he never made it back from injured reserve after suffering a broken collarbone Week 1. He should have plenty of time to recover before the 2020 campaign, likely challenging fellow big-bodied wideout Allen Lazard for the starting job opposite No. 1 target Davante Adams. The Green Bay offense still figures to go through Adams and the running backs, but there's potential for another receiving weapon to establish mainstream fantasy value (even though it didn't quite work out that way last year).

Funchess (collarbone) is expected to sign with the Packers in the near future, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The particulars of Funchess' pending deal with Green Bay aren't yet known, but he'll likely be forced to settle for a one- or two-year deal with a modest amount of guaranteed money after a broken collarbone kept him sidelined for all but one game with the Colts last season. Assuming he finalizes a contract and proves healthy for the start of camp, the 6-foot-4, 225-pound Funchess could contend for a starting role in a Packers wideout corps that often lacked reliable options beyond top target Davante Adams in 2019. The 25-year-old turned in his best season in 2017 with the Panthers, recording 63 catches for 840 yards and eight touchdowns while playing all 16 games.

General manager Chris Ballard suggested Funchess (collarbone) could re-sign with the Colts during the offseason, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

EDGE Analysis

Funchess was unable to make good on his one-year, $10 million contract, missing the Colts' final 15 games after suffering a broken collarbone Week 1 and requiring surgery. He should be healthy before the start of the new league year in mid-March, and it sounds like the Colts would consider re-signing him at a lower price.

Funchess (collarbone) won't be activated from injured reserve this season, Stephen Holder of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Funchess broke his collarbone near the end of a season-opening loss to the Chargers, which forced him to injured reserve. The Colts opened his 21-day window to return to the 53-man roster on Nov. 13, but despite getting some on-field reps the last three weeks, he'll miss the rest of the campaign, as the plate inserted to stabilize his collarbone didn't pan out, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Funchess is one of four Indy wideouts on IR, as Chester Rogers (knee), Daurice Fountain (ankle) and Steve Ishmael (knee) also are on the list.

The Colts don't plan to activate Funchess (collarbone) from injured reserve prior to the Dec. 4 deadline to do so, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Funchess has been sidelined since fracturing his collarbone in the season opener, but the Colts cleared him to resume practicing Nov. 13 with the expectation that he would eventually rejoin the 53-man roster. As Rapoport notes, Funchess's collarbone hasn't quite healed as Indianapolis anticipated, with the plate the wideout had inserted into his shoulder apparently not remedying the situation. With Funchess now in line to miss the rest of the season, the Colts will continue to rely on Zach Pascal, Marcus Johnson, Chester Rogers and Parris Campbell (hand) to fill out their receiver ranks when top option T.Y. Hilton (calf) is healthy again.

Funchess (collarbone) won't play Sunday against the Titans, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though Funchess will remain on injured reserve for another week, coach Frank Reich is hopeful that the wideout will be ready for activation by Dec. 4, the deadline for him to rejoin the 53-man roster in order to play again this season, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin. Meanwhile, fellow wideout Parris Campbell (hand) is closer to a return to action and could play this weekend, potentially giving some welcome reinforcement to a banged-up Colts pass-catching corps.

As Thursday's game against the Texans approaches, Funchess (collarbone) has yet to be activated off IR, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per Bowen, it appears as though the wideout has not yet logged a practice in a full-contact jersey since breaking his collarbone in Week 1. With that, it appears as though the soonest we'll see Funchess suit up for a game is Dec. 1, when the Colts face the Titans in Week 13.

Funchess (collarbone) won't play Sunday against Jacksonville, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Frank Reich telegraphed that Funchess wouldn't be activated from injured reserve this week when he noted a day earlier that the wide receiver's collarbone still needs time to heal. Funchess returned to practice Wednesday while wearing a non-contact jersey, but he'll need to advance to full-contact work and receive clearance from doctors before rejoining the 53-man roster. Upon his return, Funchess should assume a key role in the Colts' receiving corps, given that T.Y. Hilton (calf) and Parris Campbell (hand) are dealing with injuries of their own.

Though Funchess has returned to practice, he won't be cleared to play until it's been determined that his collarbone has fully healed, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.

EDGE Analysis

With that in mind, Chappell suggests that it seems unlikely at this point that the wideout will be cleared for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. That said, as long as Funchess continues to progress without any setbacks, his return to game action is, at least, on the horizon. Upon his return, Funchess should assume a key role in the Colts' receiving corps, which is thin right now, given that T.Y. Hilton (calf) and Parris Campbell (hand) are dealing with injuries of their own.

Funchess (collarbone) wore a red non-contact jersey during Wednesday's practice, Kevin Bowen of 1070 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

EDGE Analysis

Funchess participated in practice Wednesday for the first time since suffering a clavicle injury Week 1, meaning the Colts now have a 21-day window to evaluate him for a return to the 53-man roster. Coach Frank Reich said that Funchess still "has to get certain things done and scans done to make sure he's fully cleared and ready to go," and it's assured that the big-bodied wideout first would need to resume participating in contact drills to have any chance at suiting up Sunday versus Jacksonville. Nonetheless, Wednesday's practice represents a notable step in the right direction. With T.Y. Hilton (calf) and Parris Campbell (hand) both nursing injuries, Funchess' presence would provide a much-needed boost for Indianapolis' receiving corps.
