Jared Pinkney: Reaches injury settlement
The Bears waived Pinkney (undisclosed) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Pinkney joined the Bears early in training camp with the hope of competing for a depth role at tight end, but he has dealt with an injury late in camp. Though the specifics of his injury are still unknown, the veteran was able to reach an agreement on an injury settlement with the Bears. For this reason, Pinkney will not have to miss the entire 2023 campaign and can look to sign with another team as the season gets underway.

Jared Pinkney: Waived by Los Angeles
The Rams waived Pinkney on Friday.
Pinkney made four appearances for the Rams in 2022, totaling 42 snaps (three offensive). He has yet to catch a pass across two NFL seasons and will likely be a long shot to make a roster ahead of the 2023 campaign.

Rams' Jared Pinkney: Added to active roster for Week 18
The Rams signed Pinkney off the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
Pinkney was elevated from the practice squad for the third time this season ahead of the Week 17 loss to the Chargers. The 25-year-old has played just one of his 38 snaps on offense across three appearances, so it's likely he'll continue to serve as a core special-teamer while seeing extremely limited opportunities behind top tight ends Tyler Higbee and Brycen Hopkins in Week 18.

Jared Pinkney: Moved back to practice squad
Pinkney reverted to the Rams' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Pinkney was elevated for the third time this season ahead of Los Angeles' Week 17 loss to the Chargers, and he played a minimal role in the contest with one offensive snap and nine special-teams snaps. Top tight end Tyler Higbee entered the game as questionable due to an elbow injury, but he was ultimately able to suit up, thus limiting Pinkney's usage. Pinkney has yet to catch a pass in two seasons as a pro.

Rams' Jared Pinkney: Lands on practice squad
Pinkney cleared waivers and reverted to the Rams' practice squad Wednesday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
After missing out on a spot on Los Angeles' initial 53-man roster Tuesday, Pinkney will at least get a chance to stay with the organization for the 2022 season. The 25-year-old tight end has yet to record a target in his NFL career, and it would likely take an injury to Tyler Higbee or Brycen Hopkins for him to see game action this year.

Rams' Jared Pinkney: Two catches in finale
Pinkney caught both of his targets for 28 yards in Saturday's 16-7 loss to the Bengals.
The surprise waiving of Kendall Blanton potentially left a spot open after starter Tyler Higbee and backup Brycen Hopkins, and Pinkney filled in ably, turning one of his targets into a 25-yard gain in the first quarter. The Rams may choose to keep only two tight ends with multiple players that can fill in the blocking role, including converted tight end Jacob Harris, but Pinkney showed that he can fill the role if needed if the Rams keep three or more tight ends.
