The Bears placed Sweeney (undisclosed) on the practice squad injured list Thursday, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sweeney joined the Bears' practice squad Oct. 9 after failing to make the 53-man roster at the conclusion of training camp. It's unclear what is hindering the 2019 seventh-round pick, but he is ineligible to be called up from the practice squad to the active roster for at least four regular-season games. The earliest Sweeney would be able to be elevated would be against the Vikings on Sunday, Nov. 24. With Sweeney on practice squad IR, Chicago signed tight end Joel Wilson to the practice squad in a corresponding move.

Sweeney signed with the Bears' practice squad Wednesday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sweeney spent training camp in Chicago, recording nine catches for 86 yards, including two touchdowns. However, he couldn't secure a spot on their 53-man roster. He'll now have another opportunity to work his way to the Bears' active roster.

Sweeney was cut by the Bears on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The tight end was competing for a roster spot behind Cole Kmet and Gerald Everett. Sweeney did not see the field in 2023 with the Giants after appearing in 24 games between 2019 and 2022 with the Bills.

Sweeney agreed to a contract with the Bears on Sunday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sweeney began his career with Buffalo before linking up with the Giants last season. He suffered a "medical event" on the practice field in late August and never got into a game with New York, as he was eventually cut in late November. He'll now get a chance to compete for a roster spot among a tight end group that is led by veterans Cole Kmet (forearm) and Gerald Everett (knee).

The Giants cut Sweeney from their non-football injury list Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sweeney was originally placed on the Giants' non-football injury list prior to Week 1, and now he's set to become a free agent ahead of Week 13. He'll have to look for another opportunity with a different team.

The Giants placed Sweeney (undisclosed) on the reserve/non-football illness list Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

Sweeney is set to miss at least the first four games of the regular season, as a result. The depth tight end suffered an undisclosed medical emergency Aug. 23, but coach Brian Daboll said, "he's good" after the event. It remains to be seen when/if New York expects to have Sweeney back on the field this season.

Sweeney (undisclosed) was back at the Giants facilities Thursday, Bob Brookover of NJ.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Details of Sweeney's "medical event' are still unknown, and he is still going through some evaluations. However, "he's good," according to head coach Brian Daboll. It still remains unclear how this will affect Sweeney's potential 2023 campaign, but it's certainly good news that he was able to be at the team's facility Thursday.

Sweeney (undisclosed) is under the care of medical professionals in the Giants' training room after experiencing a medical event during Wednesday's practice, Bob Brookover of NJ.com reports. He is stable, alert and conversant.

EDGE Analysis

Sweeney had been working with coaches on a side field when he had a medical episode that required the help of medical professionals. Most importantly, the tight end is in stable condition, but Sweeney's availability moving forward has yet to be clarified at this point.

The Giants are slated to sign Sweeney, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Over the course of three seasons with the Bills, the 2019 seventh-rounder recorded 18 catches for 165 yards and a TD. The addition of the 27-year-old provides the Giants with tight end depth behind top options Darren Waller and Daniel Bellinger.

Sweeney (coach's decision) has been deemed inactive for Saturday's game against the Bears.

EDGE Analysis

Sweeney will be a healthy scratch for the second straight week. The 27-year-old has not logged a target since Week 6, as Quintin Morris has served as the No. 2 tight end behind Dawson Knox for the majority of the season. Barring injuries to Morris or Knox, it's likely Sweeney will remain inactive for the final two weeks of the regular season as well.
