Jets' Nick Bawden: Gets questionable tag for Sunday
Rotowire
Bawden is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles with a calf injury.
After sitting out the Jets' first Week 6 practice Wednesday, Bawden upgraded to limited participation Thursday and then full activity Friday. He should have a good chance at suiting up Sunday, but his availability won't be confirmed until the Jets release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. The only fullback on the Jets' roster, Bawden has dressed for each of the team's first five games and scored a one-yard touchdown on his lone carry this season.

Jets' Nick Bawden: Re-signs after release
Rotowire
Bawden re-signed with the Jets on Thursday after the team released him Tuesday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.
Bawden's return isn't exactly surprising, as the Jets didn't have a true fullback on the 53-man roster following his release. After missing the entire 2022 season, Bawden will work to bounce back in 2023. He stands to contribute mostly as a blocker, opening up lanes for Breece Hall (knee) and Dalvin Cook.

Rotowire
The Jets re-signed Bawden (undisclosed) on Monday, Howard Balzer of GoPHNX.com reports.
Bawden missed the entirety of the 2022 season with an undisclosed injury but will look to bounce back next season. Currently the only fullback on the roster, the 26-year-old should have the opportunity to help open up holes for Breece Hall and the rest of the Jets backfield next year in addition to providing value as a special teamer.

Jets' Nick Bawden: Lands on IR
Rotowire
Bawden (undisclosed) was placed on the Jets' injured reserve Tuesday, Andy Vasquez of NJ.com reports.
It's unclear what injury Bawden is dealing with, but he will be forced to miss the entirety of the regular season unless he can negotiate an injury settlement with the team. The 26-year-old fullback recorded one catch for 20 yards over nine games with the team in 2021, though he primarily played on special teams (164 of his 220 total snaps) over that span.

Nick Bawden: Let go by Lions

Bawden was waived by Detroit on Thursday.
Bawden didn't see any action with the Lions during the 2020 season, as he spent the year on injured reserve with an undisclosed injury. The 2018 seventh-round pick saw action in 10 games in 2019 while playing on offense and special teams, catching four passes for 17 yards.

Lions' Nick Bawden: Shut down for season
Rotowire
Bawden (knee) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.
Bawden's season is over after he suffered a knee injury during this past Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. The second-year fullback averaged 12.7 offensive snaps per game this year, catching four of six targets for 17 yards. The Lions don't have another fullback on their active or practice rosters, so they may choose to fill the void via a free agent.

Lions' Nick Bawden: Done for day
Rotowire
Bawden (knee) won't return to Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
Bawden left the game late in the second quarter and, as evidenced by this news, the issue will keep him out of the remainder of the game. The team is without another healthy fullback on the roster, so it's unclear how they'll operate going forward.

Lions' Nick Bawden: Now questionable for Week 11
Rotowire
Bawden (foot) has been added to the Lions' injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
Bawden is the only fullback on the Lions' roster, so they would presumably go with more single-back formations should he ultimately be unable to go. Clarity on his status will come closer to Sunday's kickoff.

Lions' Nick Bawden: Still without a carry in 2019
Rotowire
Bawden logged 16 offensive snaps during Sunday's 31-26 victory over the Giants.
Bawden shook off a back injury to play in Week 7 against Minnesota and then worked through a foot injury to play Sunday against New York. However, he didn't handle any offensive touches despite the absence of Kerryon Johnson (knee). If he wasn't a factor this week, it seems unlikely that the fullback will ever get many opportunities to make a dent in the stat sheet.

Lions' Nick Bawden: Suiting up against Giants
Rotowire
Bawden (foot) is active Week 8 against the Giants.
Bawden overcame a back injury to take the field last week, but it was a foot issue that limited his practice time in advance of the home matchup against New York. The only difference for Bawden this week is he'll be blocking for the likes of Ty Johnson and J.D. McKissic, who will be taking on running back duties after Kerryon Johnson (knee) was placed on IR.

Lions' Nick Bawden: Season low in playing time
Rotowire
Bawden logged seven offensive snaps during Sunday's 42-30 loss to Minnesota.
Bawden popped up on the injury report last week due to a back issue. While the fullback was active, this was his lowest amount of playing time all season and just the second time all year he wasn't targeted in the passing game. Bawden isn't much of a statistical contributor anyway, but his full availability could become even more important if Kerryon Johnson (knee) is forced to miss any games.
