Miami waived Lovett (undisclosed) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Saturday, per the NFL's transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Lovett was slated to miss the entire 2023 campaign after reverting to the Dolphins' injured reserve, but he'll now be free to join a new team once he's able to pass a physical. The undrafted fullback out of Princeton missed all of 2022 with an undisclosed injury, but it's unclear if the two issues are related.

Lovett (undisclosed) was waived with an injury designation by the Dolphins on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Lovett missed the entire 2022 season due to an undisclosed injury, and it appears the fullback still hasn't recovered. There's a possibility that Lovett will get another look from Miami once healthy, but he hasn't appeared in an NFL game since 2020.

Lovett (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Lovett signed with the Dolphins in February after he went unsigned in 2021 following an ACL injury he suffered in 2020. It's unclear whether he was placed on IR due to the knee injury or if it's something new, but the fullback is now in danger of missing the entire 2022 campaign unless he reaches an injury settlement with Miami.

Lovett worked out for the Jets on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lovett was waived by the Packers in March after failing his physical due to an ACL injury he suffered in 2020. After spending the 2021 season unsigned, the 25-year-old appears healthy heading into the offseason and will look to find another NFL opportunity.

Lovett (knee) was waived by the Packers on Friday with a failed physical, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lovett missed about half of the 2020 season due to a torn ACL suffered during Week 9. Typically lined up as a fullback, the hybrid will leave the team with three carries for six yards in his eight games. Lovett will aim to compete for a depth tight end role elsewhere for the upcoming year.

Lovett (knee) is done for the year due to a torn ACL, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Despite being listed as a tight end, Lovett usually lined up as a fullback for Green Bay. He never exceeded 11 offensive snaps in a game this season, but his absence in the run-blocking game and on special teams will nonetheless be felt by the Packers. With fellow TE/fullback hybrid Josiah Deguara (knee) also out for the year with a torn ACL, Green Bay could be motivated to explore the free agent market.
