Anderson was promoted to the Chargers' active roster Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson signed with the Chargers' practice squad after Hunter Henry (knee) was injured. The team's injury woes continued when Sean Culkin tore his Achilles and Virgil Green suffered a nagging groin injury, so Anderson will get his chance on the 53-man roster. If Green is unable to return for Sunday's game versus the Broncos, Anderson will fill in as the team's No. 2 tight end behind Lance Kendricks.

The Chargers signed Anderson to their practice squad Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

This could serve as a tryout for Anderson since Chargers No. 1 TE Hunter Henry (knee) is facing another lengthy recovery. The team has just two healthy tight ends -- Virgil Green and Sean Culkin -- on the active roster, so Anderson could be promoted for depth ahead of Week 2's matchup with the Lions.

Anderson was cut by the Patriots' practice squad Monday, Zack Cox of NESN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson was unable to make the 53-man roster out of camp in New England, and will have to look for an opportunity elsewhere. The California product would look to and depth at the position at the practice squad level or otherwise.

The Patriots have signed Anderson to their practice squad.

EDGE Analysis

Per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com,Anderson, who had been dealing with an undisclosed injury, was at practice Sunday, signifying that health didn't play a part in his being let go during roster cut-downs. With Ben Watson suspended for the first four games of the season and Lance Kendricks also slated to serve a one game ban out of the gate, the Patriots are poised to roll with Matt LaCosse and Ryan Izzo in Week 1. For now, Anderson provides the team with some in-house depth at the position.

The Patriots waived Anderson (undisclosed) on Saturday, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Even with fellow tight ends Benjamin Watson and Lance Kendricks both facing suspensions to begin the season, Anderson was unable to secure a roster spot over Matt LaCosse or Ryan Izzo, the last two men left standing in the position group heading into Week 1. Anderson didn't help his case for winning a spot by getting hurt during the preseason, though it's unclear if the unspecified injury he's tending to is a long-term concern. He could latch on elsewhere as a depth tight end if he can pass a physical.

Anderson suffered an undisclosed injury during Thursday's 10-3 preseason win over the Panthers, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson recorded one catch for three yards before exiting Thursday's game. He suffered an undisclosed injury on a blocking play in the first half, then returned to the sideline during the final two quarters without retaking the field. The nature and severity of his injury remain undisclosed, and if Anderson isn't able to resume practicing soon he could find his chances of making the 53-man roster marginalized.

Anderson (undisclosed) isn't expected to play in Thursday's preseason game against the Panthers, Doug Kyed of NESN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson has been battling the undisclosed issue for nearly two weeks, so it's not a major surprise to see him sitting out the third preseason contest. Matt LaCosse (ankle) also isn't expected to play since he just returned from his injury.

Anderson (undisclosed) was limited at Monday's practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Matt LaCosse dealing with a lower-leg issue and Lance Kendricks (undisclosed) also still limited, Anderson's unspecified injury taxes the Patriots' depth at tight end further. With that in mind, it's understandable that the team acquired Eric Saubert from the Falcons on Monday.

The Patriots promoted Anderson to the 53-man roster Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson joined New England's practice squad after being waived by the Texans during final roster cuts. With tight end Jacob Hollister (hamstring) on injured reserve, Anderson will provide depth behind Rob Gronkowski.

Anderson has signed with the Patriots, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson, who was let go by the Texans last Friday, joins the Patriots as the team's season opener against his former team approaches. Aside from potentially offering insight into some of Houston's tendencies on offense, the 25-year-old will bolster the Patriots' tight end depth behind Rob Gronkowski. Anderson, who logged 25 catches for 342 yards and a TD in 15 games last year, could suit up for New England as soon as Sunday, especially if the hamstring injury that limited Jacob Hollister on Wednesday is of any concern.
