Inman is signing with the Washington Football Team, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's the best possible outcome for a free-agent wideout in terms of the opportunity to earn playing time. Washington should have open competition behind top dog Terry McLaurin, with Steven Sims and Trey Quinn battling for slot snaps while Inman jockeys with the likes of Antonio Gandy-Golden and Cam Sims for outside work. There has been some mention of Sims potentially lining up outside, but this still profiles as a favorable situation for the 31-year-old Inman, who caught 12 passes for 181 yards in seven appearances for the Colts and Chargers last year. He had his best season back in 2016, when he put up a 58-810-4 receiving line for an injury-plagued Chargers squad.

Inman visited with the Washington Football Team, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Since putting up a 58-810-4 line on 97 targets in 2016 with San Diego, Inman has transformed into a journeyman, spending time with the Bears and Colts in addition to a second stint with the L.A. version of the Chargers. During that three-year stretch, he combined for 65 catches for 828 yards and four touchdowns. Washington lost second-year pro Kelvin Harmon to a torn ACL and otherwise has an inexperienced receiving corps, so Inman would provide a veteran presence to the group, if he signs with the team.

Inman registered 12 receptions for 181 scoreless yards in 2019.
EDGE Analysis
Inman started the season with the Chargers and played four games before being cut and signing with Indianapolis, where he geared up in three outings. He'll turn 31 years old in late January, and he'll be an unrestricted free agent in March.

Inman caught two of three targets for 25 yards in Monday night's 34-7 loss to the Saints.
EDGE Analysis
Inman's output included a long catch of 22 yards, showing his familiarity with the Colts' offense after rejoining the team earlier in the week. Although he's just a depth option, Indy's rotating cast of receivers at least opens opportunities for those who remain healthy, potentially allowing Inman to carve out a little late-season value.

Inman (quadriceps) signed with the Colts on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Indianapolis' attrition at wide receiver led to bringing back Inman, who spent last season with the team. He worked out for the Colts ahead of Week 14 and should be able to get on the field rather quickly given his familiarity with the system. Zach Pascal and Marcus Johnson project to be the top receivers in Week 15 if T.Y. Hilton (calf) remains out, but it would not be surprising if Inman is able to carve out a role.

The Colts worked out Inman (quadriceps) on Monday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Inman had a nine-game stint with Indianapolis last season, reeling in 28 of 39 passes for 304 yards and three touchdowns. The Colts may be inspecting his health to get a sense of whether he can help a banged-up receiving corps. Inman spent most of October and November on IR as he tended to a quad injury before the Chargers waived him Nov. 25, so he may find himself employed if he passes the requisite tests.

The Chargers cut Inman (quadriceps) off their injured reserve list Monday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Inman never really re-captured his old magic with the Chargers after he was signed by the team prior to the season. The 30-year-old suited up in just four games before getting hurt this year, hauling in eight of 13 targets for 132 yards. He'll be subject to waivers and can now be claimed by any team in the league.

Inman (quadriceps) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
With Mike Williams (back) and Travis Benjamin (hip) sidelined for the Chargers' Week 4 win over the Dolphins, Inman's profile on offense expanded as a result. Unfortunately, he suffered a fourth-quarter injury that's landed him on IR, leaving the team with Keenan Allen, Geremy Davis and Andre Patton as its top healthy wideouts heading into Sunday's game against the Broncos.

The Chargers are considering placing Inman (quadriceps) on injured reserve, gilbert reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old sustained the injury during Sunday's game against the Dolphins while seeing an expanded workload with Mike Williams (back) and Travis Benjamin (hip) inactive. The specifics of the injury remain unclear, but if the team is considering injured reserve it seems likely Inman will be sidelined for at least a few games. More information should be available Wednesday as the Chargers release their official injury report.

Inman (quad) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
Inman suffered the injury early in the fourth quarter in a play where he made a catch but had his cleats catch the turf and over-stretch his leg. This is unfortunate news for Inman, who was upgraded after Mike Williams (back) and Travis Benjamin (hip) were ruled out of the game. As long as Inman is out, expect Geremy Davis and Andre Patton see an increase in snaps.
