Izzo was released after the Panthers added Josh Watson to their roster, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
After posting 313 yards with the Patriots between 2019 and 2020, Izzo played in one game last year for the Titans. He was signed by the Panthers on Aug. 11 but was let go in less than one week. He'll look to catch on as a depth option elsewhere.

Izzo signed a contract with the Panthers on Thursday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Izzo was one of two tight ends, alongside Nate Becker, signed by Carolina on Thursday as the team deals with multiple injuries at this position over the past few days. The third-year tight end caught 19 of his 29 targets for 313 yards and one score over 18 games with the Patriots from 2019 to 2020, but he was waived by Tennessee in June after playing just one game for the team last season. Izzo should push for a backup role with the Panthers this preseason after tight end Ian Thomas (ribs), Colin Thompson (calf) and Josh Babicz (undisclosed) all picked up injuries this past week.

Izzo was released by Tennessee on Wednesday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 2018 seventh-round pick for the Patriots played five offensive snaps in one game for the Titans last season after he was signed to the team's active roster in January to help replace the loss of injured tight end MyCole Pruitt. Izzo totaled 19 catches for 313 yards and one touchdown over 18 games with New England from 2019 to 2020. The 26-year-old will now pass through waivers, where teams will have a chance to claim him, before hitting free agency.

Izzo agreed to a contract with the Titans on Tuesday, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old has been on the Seahawks' practice squad but will now join the Titans with MyCole Pruitt (ankle) placed on injured reserve. Izzo has yet to see game action this season and caught 13 passes for 199 yards with New England in 2020. He should work as Tennessee's No. 3 tight end behind Geoff Swaim and Anthony Firkser.

Izzo was restored to the Seahawks' practice squad from the practice squad COVID-19 list Monday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Izzo tested positive for the virus, but he spent less than a week in league protocols. The 26-year-old has yet to be elevated for a game this season, and that trend is likely to continue through the final two games of the regular season.

The Seahawks placed Izzo on the practice squad COVID-19 list Tuesday after he tested positive for the virus, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Izzo will now enter the league's COVID-19 protocols and be unavailable for the time being. His absence will likely not have much of an impact on the Seahawks, as the tight end has yet to be elevated from the practice squad for any contests this season.

Izzo has reached an agreement to sign onto the Seahawks practice squad, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Izzo will join Seattle in hopes of adding some depth to the Seahawks' thin tight end room. With Gerald Everett now on the team's COVID list, Will Dissly will become the primary tight end option, while Tyler Mabry will be the backup. Izzo could be activated to Seattle's roster if they lose any more depth at the position.

The Giants cut Izzo from the practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Izzo appeared in 12 games for the Patriots in 2020, but he has yet to log any regular-season action in the 2021 campaign. He will look to latch on with a practice squad elsewhere.

The Texans waived Izzo on Monday, independent NFL journalist Aaron Wilson reports.
EDGE Analysis
Izzo averaged 52 snaps over 12 games with the Patriots last season, but he was targeted just 20 times and finished with 13 receptions for 199 yards. If he clears waivers, he'll likely land on the practice squad.

Izzo (undisclosed) logged 17 snaps in Saturday's preseason loss to the Buccaneers, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Izzo left the Texans' preseason opener against the Packers with an undisclosed injury and there hadn't been any news on him since. However, his ability to suit up Saturday confirms he's clear of whatever issue he was dealing with. If he makes the final roster, expectations for Izzo should be tempered heading into the season, considering he slots in third on the tight-end depth chart for a team expected to struggle offensively throughout the campaign.
