Ryan Izzo: Released by Panthers
Izzo was released after the Panthers added Josh Watson to their roster, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
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.

Panthers' Ryan Izzo: Added by Carolina
Izzo signed a contract with the Panthers on Thursday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Izzo was one of two tight ends, alongside Nate Becker, signed by Carolina on Thursday as the team deals with multiple injuries at the 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 ends Ian Thomas (ribs), Colin Thompson (calf) and Josh Babicz (undisclosed) all picked up injuries this past week.

Titans' Ryan Izzo: Let go by Titans
The Titans released Izzo on Wednesday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
The 2018 seventh-round pick 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 injured tight end MyCole Pruitt. In the two seasons prior, Izzo totaled 19 catches for 313 yards and one touchdown over 18 games with New England. The 26-year-old will now need to pass through waivers before hitting free agency.

Titans' Ryan Izzo: Heading to Tennessee
Izzo agreed to a contract with the Titans on Tuesday, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.
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.

Ryan Izzo: Clears COVID-19 list
Izzo was restored to the Seahawks' practice squad from the practice squad COVID-19 list Monday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
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.

Ryan Izzo: Placed on practice squad COVID list
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.
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.

Ryan Izzo: Joins Seattle's practice squad
Izzo has reached an agreement to sign with the Seahawks' practice squad, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
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 it loses any more depth at the position.

Ryan Izzo: Cut from practice squad
The Giants cut Izzo from the practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
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.

Texans' Ryan Izzo: Plays 17 snaps against Tampa
Izzo (undisclosed) logged 17 snaps in Saturday's preseason loss to the Buccaneers, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.
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.

Ryan Izzo: Heads to waivers
The Texans waived Izzo on Monday, independent NFL journalist Aaron Wilson reports.
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.

Texans' Ryan Izzo: Picks up undisclosed injury
Izzo exited Saturday's preseason game against the Packers due to an undisclosed injury, Mark Lane of Yahoo! Sports reports.
Izzo was tended to by trainers on the sideline, but the nature and extent of his injury weren't revealed. The depth tight end will try to regain health before the Texans take on the Cowboys in Week 2 of preseason.

Texans' Ryan Izzo: Traded to Houston
The Patriots are trading Izzo to the Texans for a 2022 seventh-round draft pick, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Izzo was buried on the Patriots' depth chart after they signed Jonnu Smith and Hunter Henry. A seventh-round pick himself, Izzo will now compete for a roster spot in Houston, where veteran TE Darren Fells was released in a corresponding move. Izzo caught 13 passes on 626 offensive snaps for the Patriots last season, struggling to command targets even when he had a three-down role in a pathetic passing offense. A neck injury sent him to IR in December.
