The Colts signed Mickens to their practice squad Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Mickens was cut by the Giants prior to Week 1, but he's now found a new opportunity in Indianapolis. He hasn't suited up for a regular-season game since 2021 with Tampa Bay, where he played mostly on special teams.

The Giants released Mickens on Sunday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mickens signed a reserve/future contract with the Giants in January after joining their practice squad in December. He managed to record four catches for 41 yards in three preseason games but it wasn't enough to crack into a crowded wide receiver room headlined by Isaiah Hodgins, Darius Slayton and Parris Campbell.

Mickens signed a reserve/future contract with the Giants on Sunday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mickens joined the team's practice squad Dec. 14 and never played this season after he appeared in 11 games between the Jaguars and Buccaneers in 2021. The 28-year-old will work to earn an opportunity to carve out a role for himself in 2023.

Mickens was signed to the Giants' practice squad Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Mickens has yet to appear in a game this season after playing in 11 contests with the Jaguars and Buccaneers in 2021, producing two catches for 10 yards while operating mostly on special teams. The 28-year-old will provide New York with an additional depth option at wide receiver moving forward.

The Jaguars activated Mickens (undisclosed) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Mickens was sidelined for the Jaguars' Week 17 blowout loss to the Patriots after landing on the COVID-19 list. He has suited up for five games for Jacksonville since being claimed off Tampa Bay's practice squad, but he's mostly operated on special teams. He's expected to return to his usual return duties during Week 18.

Mickens (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

It's not clear at this time whether Mickens tested positive for COVID-19. He has suited up in five games for Jacksonville since being claimed off Tampa Bay's practice squad, totaling 10 yards on two catches while working as the return man on kickoffs and punts. If Mickens doesn't return in time to face the Patriots on Sunday, Tavon Austin will likely fill in as the return man on special teams.

Jacksonville has signed Mickens off Tampa Bay's practice squad, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mickens suited up for the Bucs' first six games but never saw any snaps. He has since been on their practice squad. The 27-year-old will now return to the team with which he spent his first three seasons. The Jaguars will presumably use him as a depth receiver and special teams contributor.

Mickens was signed to the Buccaneers' practice squad Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Mickens was released off Tampa Bay's active roster Monday but will stick around the organization on the practice squad. He appeared in five of the first six games of the year and didn't receive a target in 18 offensive snaps.

The Buccaneers released Mickens on Monday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mickens appeared in five games with the Buccaneers this season, in which span he regularly contributed in the return game but wasn't targeted. The 27-year-old will look to resurface in the league as an option on special teams.

Mickens did not log a target in three snaps from scrimmage and returned three punts for 21 yards in the Buccaneers' 28-22 win over the Eagles on Thursday night.

EDGE Analysis

Mickens was solid in his return duties, but even with Scotty Miller (toe) still on injured reserve, he did not have a role in the offense. The 27-year-old does not have a target this season across 18 snaps from scrimmage, but he's accrued 129 kickoff return yards and another 54 on punt runbacks.
