Bawden was released by the Texans on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Bawden joined the Texans on Aug. 20 after being let go by the Jets in late July. He was competing against Andrew Beck for a fullback spot on the Texans' 53-man roster, but neither player made the cut. Bawden will look to bring his blocking ability elsewhere.

Bawden was let go by the Jets on July 30, one day after being reinstated from the active/PUP list due to an undisclosed injury. He appeared in 16 regular-season games for the Jets last year, finishing with two carries for four yards and one touchdown while catching three passes for 21 yards.

Bawden was released by the Jets on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Bawden was just activated off the PUP list Monday after dealing with an undisclosed injury but will now head to free agency. The 2018 seventh-round pick will look to catch on with another team after carrying the ball two times for four yards and a touchdown across 16 games for the Jets last season.

The Jets activated Bawden (undisclosed) off the active/PUP list Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
The San Diego State product had been sidelined with an undisclosed injury of late, but he's now passed his physical and moved past the issue. Bawden appeared in 16 regular-season games with the Jets last season, and he's expected to remain New York's top fullback once again in 2024.

Bawden (undisclosed) was placed on the active/PUP list by the Jets on Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The fullback can be activated during training camp, per Cimini. Bawden signed a reserve/future contract with the Jets in January after playing in 16 regular season games with the team last year. The 2018 seventh-round pick carried the ball twice last season and scored a touchdown.

Bawden signed to a reserve/future contract with the Jets on Tuesday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official website reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bawden spent all but one of the team's 17 games during the 2023 campaign as a member of their active roster and he'll now stick around for the offseason. The 27-year-old will look to operate as the team's primary fullback again in 2024.

The Jets reverted Bawden to the practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
In Sunday's win over the Patriots, Bawden played 29 snaps -- 15 on offense and 14 on special teams -- without recording a stat. He started the season on the Jets' active roster, was waived by the team on Dec. 20 before rejoining New York on the practice squad. Bawden appeared in 16 games, played 298 of his 420 snaps on special teams, and accumulated four rushing yards and a touchdown on two carries while adding three catches for 21 yards.

EDGE Analysis
Bawden played eight offensive snaps (12 percent) and tallied one reception for eight yards in Week 17 before reverting to the practice squad. He also saw the field for 19 special teams plays (63 percent). The fullback will presumably be in line for a similar workload Sunday.

Bawden caught his lone target for eight yards in Thursday's 37-20 loss to the Browns.
EDGE Analysis
Bawden was elevated from the practice squad Thursday, but he has spent most of the season on the Jets' roster, as this was his 15th appearance of 2023. The fullback has rushed twice for four yards and a touchdown while catching all three of his targets for 21 yards in 2023, flashing reliable hands on the rare occasions that his number gets called.
