The Cardinals cut O'Donnell on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

With O'Donnell jettisoned, it likely signals Blake Gillikin (back) is nearing a return to punting duties. In five games with Arizona this season, O'Donnell punted 12 times for 506 yards, averaging a career-low 42.2 yards per punt.

The Cardinals signed O'Donnell to their active roster Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The 34-year-old's signing Friday likely suggests that Blake Gillikin (back), who popped up on Arizona's injury report Thursday as a limited practice participant, could miss the Week 6 matchup against the Colts. O'Donnell, a 10-year NFL veteran, is now expected to assume Arizona's top punter and holder duties if Gillikin is sidelined Sunday.

The 49ers signed O'Donnell off their practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

O'Donnell could be the 49ers' punter for the next four regular-season games due to Mitch Wishnowsky (back) being placed on injured reserve. O'Donnell last saw regular-season action in 2022 with the Packers, during which he averaged 44.5 yards per punt across 17 games.

O'Donnell was signed to the 49ers' practice squad Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

O'Donnell was brought in to provide San Francisco with a contingency plan at punter with starter Mitch Wishnowsky (back) missing the team's first practice of the week Wednesday. O'Donnell will likely be elevated to the active roster if Wishnowsky cannot play Sunday versus the Seahawks.

O'Donnell reverted to the Falcons' practice squad before being let go by the team Monday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

O'Donnell was added to the practice squad and subsequently elevated to the active roster Saturday with Bradley Pinion dealing with an illness. Pinion was able to play Sunday, so O'Donnell's services were not needed and he was inactive for the game. He'll explore his options once he clears waivers.

O'Donnell (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Titans, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Bradley Pinion dealing with an illness, O'Donnell was signed to the Falcons' practice squad and elevated to the active roster Saturday. However, Pinion has cleared the issue, so O'Donnell's services won't be needed.

The Falcons signed O'Donnell to their practice squad Saturday and also elevated him to the active roster ahead of Sunday's contest against the Titans, Scott Bair of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Falcons wasted no time elevating O'Donnell with starting punter Bradley Pinion (illness) questionable for Sunday's game. O'Donnell last played for Green Bay in 2022 after eight seasons with the Bears.

O'Donnell was cut by the Packers on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

After eight seasons in Chicago, O'Donnell headed north to Green Bay in 2022. He netted 38.5 yards per punt and placed 24 kicks inside the 20-yard line during his one Packers campaign. The veteran was competing against Daniel Whelan for punting duties this year and ultimately came up short. He will now look for a fresh start elsewhere.

O'Donnell punted six times and averaged 56.3 yards per attempt in Thursday's preseason finale against the Chiefs.

EDGE Analysis

O'Donnell has been the only punter in Green Bay since signing with the team back in March, so he was not facing any pressure Thursday night. However, that did not stop him from putting on a display in his final tune-up before the regular season. The Packers will be counting on him to help improve a special teams unit that had all kinds of issues a year ago.

O'Donnell signed a two-year, $4 million contract with the Bears on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

O'Donnell recorded 62 punts for 2,791 yards last season, with an average of 45 yards per punt. The five-year pro has spent the entirety of his career with the Bears, and now remains signed with the team through 2020.
