The Jets signed Blackshear to the practice squad Tuesday, Susanna Weir of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Blackshear has not appeared in a regular-season game in 2025 and was on the Steelers' practice squad before being cut in late October. He could be elevated to the Jets' active roster for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Bills if either or both of Breece Hall (knee) and Isaiah Davis (concussion) are unable to play.

Pittsburgh cut Blackshear from the practice squad Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Blackshear inked with the Steelers' practice squad Oct. 6, but he wasn't elevated for game action during his tenure with the team. The veteran running back logged a similar stint with Tennessee late September. Blackshear will now work to resurface as an emergency depth option elsewhere in the league.

Blackshear signed with the Steelers' practice squad Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Blackshear was dropped by the Panthers with an injury settlement in late August and spent time with the Titans' practice squad in late September. However, he's since found a new home in Pittsburgh and could be elevated for the Week 6 matchup against the Browns if Jaylen Warren (knee) is unable to return.

The Titans cut Blackshear from their practice squad Monday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tennessee signed Blackshear to a practice-squad deal Sept. 23, but the former Carolina Panther wasn't given much time to make an impression. The Titans instead opted to take a look at fellow running back Blake Watson, who was signed to the practice squad in a move corresponding with Blackshear's departure.

The Titans signed Blackshear to their practice squad Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Blackshear spent training camp with Carolina before being waived in late August. He spent his first three NFL seasons with the Panthers, tallying 203 yards and three touchdowns on 52 carries while adding 138 receiving yards on 16 receptions. Blackshear has also spent a lot of time as a kick and punt returner, which could help him in his bid to eventually make his way back to gameday action.

The Vikings hosted Blackshear (ankle) for a workout Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Blackshear reached an injury settlement with the Panthers in late August after reverting to the team's injured reserve due to an ankle injury. He appears to have fully recovered from the injury and is attempting to catch on with a team in need of backfield depth on the practice squad.

The Panthers waived Blackshear (ankle) with an injury settlement Tuesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Blackshear (ankle) is questionable to return to Thursday's preseason contest against the Steelers, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Blackshear sustained an ankle injury in the third quarter, which could bring his night to an early end. The running back logged 11 carries for 35 yards, while also catching both of his targets for eight yards prior to his departure.

Blackshear is signing a one-year contract with the Panthers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 2022 UDFA played 41 games for Carolina the past three seasons, taking 68 touches for 341 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns, 66 kickoff returns for 1,734 yards and 23 punt returns for 200 yards. Blackshear returned both kicks and punts in 2024, but he didn't get a restricted-free-agent tender earlier this offseason and now returns to the Panthers on a cheaper contract. He'll likely be third or fourth on the depth chart at running back, behind Chuba Hubbard and Rico Dowdle at the very least.

The Panthers aren't planning to tender Blackshear this offseason, which will make him an unrestricted free agent, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Blackshear entered the offseason as a restricted free agent, so the Panthers could ensure they keep him by tendering him and matching any offer from another club. However, Carolina doesn't appear as if it will that direction, which will instead allow Blackshear to enter unrestricted free agency. The 26-year-old saw limited work on offense in 2024 (his third NFL campaign), compiling 15 carries for 80 yards and a touchdown over 16 contests without getting any looks in the passing game. However, he served as Carolina's top kickoff and punt returner, so the Panthers will need to find a replacement for those roles if they indeed elect to part ways with Blackshear.
