The Chargers signed Freeman to the practice squad Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Freeman was waived Dec. 16 to make room for safety Marcus Maye but quickly finds himself back on the practice squad. The signing of fellow running back Jaret Patterson to the active roster due to the injury to Kimani Vidal (neck) seems to have cleared up a roster spot that the Chargers thought best used on additional depth at the position.

The Chargers waived Freeman from the practice squad Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The running back was not elevated for a game in his 15-day tenure on the practice squad. In a corresponding move, the Chargers signed safety Marcus Maye to the practice squad. Freeman will now be placed on waivers, and if he clears will become a free agent.

The Bears signed Freeman to a contract Wednesday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Freeman will take the spot on the Bears' roster vacated by Deion Hankins, who was placed on injured reserve due to a shoulder injury that he picked up during Sunday's preseason game against the Bills. Freeman was on the practice squads of the Rams, Bears and Browns in 2024 and last saw regular-season action in 2023 with the Rams, when he rushed for 319 yards and a touchdown on 77 carries across 14 games.

Los Angeles signed Freeman to the practice squad Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Foreman joins a Rams team in new need of backfield depth with Blake Corum (forearm) having been placed on IR. He could get a chance to play an emergency role behind all of Kyren Williams, Ronnie Rivers and Cody Schrader in Monday's wild-card round playoff game against the Vikings.

The Bears cut Freeman from the practice squad Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Freeman joined the Bears' practice squad Dec. 11 after being cut by the Browns in early October. He wasn't elevated to the active roster, and the veteran running back will explore his next options. Freeman played in 14 regular-season games for the Rams in 2023 and turned 77 carries into 319 yards and two touchdowns.

The Bears signed Freeman to their practice squad Wednesday, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Freeman turned some heads as a rookie in 2018 with Denver when he rushed 130 times for 521 yards (4.0 YPC) and five touchdowns while adding another 72 yards on 14 catches through the air. However, he hasn't since topped his yardage or TD total from that season, and he's yet to get into an NFL game this year despite spending time with Cleveland's practice squad earlier in the campaign. Freeman could get elevated quickly by Chicago, though, if Roschon Johnson (concussion) and Travis Homer (head) miss Monday's Week 15 contest against Minnesota.

The Browns released Freeman from their practice squad Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Freeman spent three-plus weeks on Cleveland's practice squad, but with Nick Chubb (knee, PUP) and Nyheim Hines (knee, NFI) practicing and nearing a return coupled with Pierre Strong's return to health made Freeman expendable. The 28-year-old Freeman will look for an opportunity elsewhere.

The Browns signed Freeman to the practice squad Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Freeman spent time with the Cowboys this offseason, but he wasn't able to stick to the team's final roster. Now, he gets an opportunity in Cleveland, where, with Pierre Strong (hamstring) considered week-to-week, a chance to contribute could come as early as Sunday versus the Giants.
