Pullard accepted a position with USC's football staff on Thursday, effectively announcing his retirement from the NFL.

EDGE Analysis

A 2015 seventh-round pick, Pullard logged two seasons each with the Jaguars and Chargers. In his career-best 2017 campaign with Los Angeles, Pullard notched a respectable 74 total tackles, one interception, one defended pass and one fumble recovery. The former USC standout will now rejoin his alma mater's football program in a defensive quality control role.

Pullard signed a contract with the Eagles on Tuesday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

Pullard was released by the Cardinals on Sunday, only a few weeks after signing with the team. The 27-year-old had a productive 74-tackle season with the Chargers in 2017, but he had only 18 tackles in nine games last season.

The Cardinals released Pullard on Sunday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pullard recently signed a contract with the team at the beginning of August, but was unable to make an impression. The 27-year-old could be an attractive depth option for another club, considering he made 18 tackles (13 solo) last season in nine games with the Chargers.

Pullard signed a contract with the Cardinals on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Pullard spent the last two seasons with the Chargers. The former seventh-round pick saw his role decrease in 2018 after logging 74 total tackles, an interception and a fumble recovery over 13 games in the 2017 campaign.

Pullard signed a contract with the Chargers on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Pullard's place on the active roster comes following Los Angeles' decision to waive kicker Michael Badgley. The fourth-year linebacker appeared in 13 games for the Chargers last year, recording 74 tackles, one interception and one fumble. Pullard is expected to enter the team's middle linebacker rotation.

Pullard recorded eight tackles (four solo) and recovered a fumble in the Chargers 14-7 win Sunday over the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Pullard filled in admirably for starting middle linebacker Denzel Perryman who missed Sunday's game due to a hamstring injury. Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reported Perryman could be available in Week 17, meaning Pullard would likely lose his luster as an IDP option if he returned to his role as a backup linebacker.

Pullard (neck) was active for Thursday's game against the Cowboys.

EDGE Analysis

Pullard was listed as a full participant all week in practice, so his status Thursday hardly comes as a surprise. Pullard's return is big for the Chargers' defensive front, as the linebacker recorded at least eight tackles in four straight games before suffering the injury.

Pullard (neck) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Cowboys.

EDGE Analysis

Though the Chargers' practices were of lower intensity than normal this week due to the lack of time off between games, Pullard's full participation in sessions Tuesday and Wednesday seemingly put him on track to return from a two-game absence. Prior to missing time, Pullard had recorded at least eight tackles in each of his last four contests, but his opportunities could take a hit with linebacker Denzel Perryman having since returned from injured reserve.

Pullard (neck) was limited in Tuesday's practice session.

EDGE Analysis

Pullard missed the Chargers' past two games due to his neck injury but his limited participation in practice suggests he's on track to play in Thursday's tilt against Dallas.

Pullard (neck) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the BIlls.

EDGE Analysis

Pullard was listed as doubtful so not playing Sunday was to be expected. Jatavis Brown should step in at inside linebacker for the Chargers in Pullard's absence against the Bills.
