Kareem was waived Thursday, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kareem was signed to the active roster in Week 11 and appeared in the Week 11 overtime loss to the Panthers. The edge rusher's release was not followed by any moves, so the Falcons still have a 53-man roster spot available. If Kareem clears waivers, there is a good chance he will end up back with the Falcons on the practice squad.

The Falcons elevated Kareem to the active roster Thursday, Terrin Waack of the team's official website reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kareem spent the majority of the 2024 season on the Falcons' practice squad, appearing in two games where he recorded four total tackles (two solo). This is the 27-year-old's first time being elevated this season, where he will be an additional depth piece at linebacker after DeAngelo Malone was placed on injured reserve.

The Falcons elevated Kareem (undisclosed) from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kareem, who signed with the Falcons' practice squad in late August, is being elevated for the first time this season. He spent most of the 2023 regular season on the Bears' practice squad but did play in Week 8 against the Chargers, during which he registered one solo tackle and one pass defense while playing 24 snaps on defense. Kareem will give the Falcons additional depth at linebacker for Sunday's game against New Orleans after JD Bertrand was ruled out due to a concussion.

Kareem (undisclosed) reached an injury settlement with the Bears on Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

The settlement gives Kareem a chance to play in 2024 if he lands with another team. The defensive end appeared in one game and on 24 defensive snaps for Chicago in 2023, recording one tackle and a pass defensed.

The Bears waived Kareem on Tuesday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The move corresponds with the Bears acquiring Montez Sweat from the Commanders on Tuesday in exchange for a second-round pick. Kareem had just been activated off the Bears' injured reserve on Oct. 28 and played Sunday night against the Chargers when he was on the field for 24 defensive snaps and registered a solo tackle. Kareem will have the chance to explore his next options should he clear waivers.

The Bears activated Kareem (hip) from their injured reserve list Saturday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kareem did not suit up for the first two games of the season before picking up a hip injury ahead of the Bears' Week 3 matchup against the Chiefs. He was placed on IR on Sept. 25 and is now set to make his 2023 debut Sunday against the Chargers. His last full season came in his rookie year in 2020 with the Bengals, when he registered 19 tackles including one sack in 16 games.

Chicago designated Kareem (hip) for return from its injured reserve list Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Kareem was a full participant at practice Wednesday, signaling he's likely to be activated for Week 8. He's still waiting to make his 2023 debut, but he figures to fill a rotational role on the Bears' defensive line once he does.

Kareem (hip), who was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, was placed on the Bears' injured reserve list Saturday, Chris Emma of 670TheScore.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kareem has been unable to see the field for the first two weeks of the season while dealing with a hip injury. He'll now be forced to sit out for the next four games and will be eligible to return in Week 7 against the Raiders on Oct. 22.

Kareem (hip) will not play in Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kareem did not see the field in either of the Bears' first two games to start the season, thus his absence is not expected to impact the defense. He will now focus on recovering in time for Week 4.

Kareem (ribs) recorded two solo tackles and one sack in Thursday's 27-13 preseason victory over the Eagles.

EDGE Analysis

Kareem went down with a rib injury in the Colts' previous preseason game, but his participation in Thursday's exhibition contest indicates he has recovered from the issue. The 25-year-old is in a competition for a depth defensive end role in Indy.
