Top Jakeem Grant News

  • Jakeem Grant: Parts ways with Atlanta

    The Falcons cut Grant from their practice squad Saturday, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Grant originally signed with Atlanta's practice squad Nov. 12 and was let go four days later. He re-signed to the team's practice squad Thursday but had an even shorter stint this time around, as he was cut Saturday. Grant's last NFL action came in 2021, when he played in 11 contests with Chicago and in four games with Miami.

  • Jakeem Grant: Back with Atlanta

    Atlanta signed Grant to its practice squad Tuesday, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Due to injuries, Grant hasn't appeared in a regular-season game since 2021, but he spent parts of August and November with the Falcons and could get a chance to see some late-season playing time over the final four weeks of the regular season.

  • Jakeem Grant: Let go by Atlanta

    The Falcons cut Grant from the practice squad Saturday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.

    Grant was signed to the Falcons' practice squad Tuesday, but he will be in search of another opportunity after being let go just four days later. Grant last saw regular-season action in 2021 with both the Bears and Dolphins, during which he logged 11 catches (on 17 targets) for 132 yards and two touchdowns across 15 regular-season games.

  • Jakeem Grant: Back with Atlanta

    The Falcons signed Grant to the practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Grant signed with the Falcons on Aug. 10 to compete for a spot on the 53-man roster during training camp, but he was let go with an injury settlement Aug. 22. He last saw NFL regular-season action in 2021, during which he was selected to the Pro Bowl as a return specialist. If he's elevated to the active roster, Grant would give the Falcons a spark on kickoff and punt returns while also providing depth at wide receiver.

  • Jakeem Grant: Reaches injury settlement

    Atlanta released Grant (undisclosed) from injured reserve Thursday after reaching an injury settlement, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Grant missed all of 2023 due to a ruptured patellar tendon that he sustained in the Browns' preseason finale against the Chiefs. He was able to catch on with the Falcons on Aug. 10, but he placed on the team's injured reserve five days later due to an unspecified injury. Now that an injury settlement has been reached, the 2016 sixth-round wide receiver will have an opportunity to sign with another team once he is fully healthy.

  • Falcons' Jakeem Grant: Placed on IR

    Grant (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve by the Falcons on Thursday, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.

    The wide receiver needs to reach an injury settlement with the team in order to play this season. Grant signed with Atlanta on Saturday and was competing for a return-specialist role. The veteran last saw NFL action in 2021 with Chicago and Miami, recording 11 catches for 132 yards and two touchdowns.

  • Falcons' Jakeem Grant: Catches on with Atlanta

    The Falcons signed Grant to a one-year deal Saturday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Grant missed all of 2023 after suffering a ruptured patellar tendon in the preseason. He had a tryout with the Giants in July, but he will now head to Atlanta to compete for a return specialist role with the Falcons. His last full season was in 2021, when he played 15 regular-season games between the Dolphins and Bears, accumulating 250 punt return yards and one touchdown while adding 11 catches for 132 yards and two touchdowns.

  • Jakeem Grant: Visits Giants for tryout

    New York hosted Grant (knee) for a tryout Monday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

    Grant appears back to full health after having suffered a ruptured right patellar tendon last preseason. The special-teams ace hasn't suited up for regular-season action since 2021, when he logged appearances for both the Bears and Dolphins.

  • Browns' Jakeem Grant: Moved to IR

    The Browns placed Grant (knee) on injured reserve by the Browns on Sunday.

    Grant suffered a ruptured right patellar tendon during Saturday's preseason game against the Chiefs. He was set to serve as the Browns' top kick returner in 2023, but now that he's out for the season, Cleveland will have to look elsewhere to fill those duties.

  • Browns' Jakeem Grant: Done for season

    Grant suffered a ruptured patellar tendon during Saturday's preseason game against the Chiefs and is out for the season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Grant was expected to be Cleveland's return man this season, but instead, the veteran wideout will need to spend the 2023 campaign recovering. The Browns will now likely turn to Donovan Peoples-Jones and Jerome Ford to handle those duties.

  • Browns' Jakeem Grant: Suffers significant injury

    Grant sustained a potential broken patella in his knee during Saturday's 33-32 preseason loss to the Chiefs, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Grant is slated to undergo an MRI on Sunday to determine whether his patella is possibly broken or torn, as a torn patella could sideline him for the entire 2023 campaign. Browns coach Kevin Stefanski also expressed Saturday that he feels horrible for Grant, per Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer, likely indicating that this injury will sideline him for an extended period of time either way. The 5-foot-7 slot receiver hasn't made much of an impact in the passing game during his career, but he has accumulated two kick-return touchdowns and four punt-return touchdowns over the past six seasons. Should Grant miss significant playing time, Donovan Peoples-Jones could step up as the Browns' primary punt returner while Jerome Ford, who is questionable for Week 1 with a hamstring injury, would likely take over kick-return duties.
