Blasingame hauled in his lone target for minus-three yards while playing 14 of 71 snaps on offense in Sunday's 28-13 win over the Lions.

EDGE Analysis

Blasingame has suited up for each of the Bears' last three games after missing a Week 10 win over Carolina while recovering from a concussion. The reception the fullback recorded Sunday was just his third of the season, as he's been deployed primarily as a blocker whenever he's taken the field with the offense.

Blasingame (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Blasingame was able to log his second consecutive full practice Thursday, and he's officially cleared concussion protocol, per Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com. Chicago's fullback has appeared in nine games thus far, recording 31 yards on 10 total touches while also contributing on special teams.

Blasingame (concussion) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

It's a positive sign for his potential availability for Week 11. With that being said, there could still be additional steps he'll need to take to fully clear league concussion protocol. Thursday's and Friday's injury reports will provide more information.

Bears head coach Matt Eberflus said Monday that Blasingame is in the concussion protocol and won't play Thursday versus Carolina, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Blasingame sustained the concussion during Sunday's loss to New Orleans and won't be able to clear the five-step protocol on a short week. In Blasingame's absence, Chicago could opt to use their tight ends to fulfill any lead-blocking functions that the fullback might have handled Week 10.

Blasingame is out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Saints with a concussion, Adam Hoge of AllCHGO.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The fullback did not record a carry or reception before exiting. Blasingame has eight rushes for 26 yards and two catches for five yards in 2023. The Bears do not have another fullback on their depth chart.

Blasingame rushed eight times for 26 yards in the Bears' 40-20 win over the Commanders on Thursday night.

EDGE Analysis

With Khalil Herbert (ankle), Roschon Johnson (concussion) and Travis Homer (hamstring) all exiting Thursday's game early, Blasingame was called on to help ice away the contest with the Bears holding a big second-half lead. Blasingame's touches were his first from scrimmage since arriving in Chicago last season and the only others of his career besides three rush attempts with the Titans in 2021. The Vanderbilt product will very likely be relegated to his customary blocking fullback duties if at least two of his injured teammates are able to return for a Week 6 home matchup against the Vikings on Sunday, Oct. 15.

Blasingame is expected to be an important part of the Chicago roster, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Blasingame has had three rushing attempts during his four years in the league, but his blocking as a fullback is a critical part of the Bears' blocking scheme in the running game. In addition, he plays on special teams. It seems as if Blasingame has an excellent chance of being on the regular-season roster, though don't look for him to get many rushing attempts.

Blasingame agreed to a two-year extension with the Bears on Wednesday, his agency Team IFA reports.

EDGE Analysis

Blasingame's set to maintain his role as Chicago's fullback. He was used exclusively as a blocker in 2022, logging just one target and no carries.

Blasingame didn't handle a rushing attempt in the Bears' 29-13 loss to the Vikings in Week 18, and ended the season without an offensive touch.

EDGE Analysis

Blasingame played about 10 snaps per game as a fullback and about 15 per game as a special teamer. He didn't receive a carry and was targeted once all year, and over his four-year career, he has three rushing attempts and 10 receptions. He's now an unrestricted free agent.

Blasingame isn't listed on the Bears' injury report Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Blasingame was inactive for the Bears' Week 13 loss to the Packers due to an illness, but he's full go following Chicago's Week 14 bye. The undrafted fullback out of Vanderbilt has played 130 offensive snaps across 12 appearances this season, but he's yet to record a rushing attempt and failed to hail in his lone target.
