Cut by Jacksonville again
The Jaguars cut Funk from the practice squad Tuesday. It's the second time Funk has been let go from Jacksonville's practice squad this season. He was elevated from the Jaguars' practice squad to the active roster for Week 7 and 8, though he did not play a single snap across those two contests. Funk will look to catch on with a team in need of running back depth on the practice squad.
Returns to Jacksonville
Funk signed with the Jaguars' practice squad Wednesday. Funk was just cut Tuesday by the team but is back on board about 24 hours later. The Maryland product has suited up twice for Jacksonville this season but has yet to get in a game.
Let go by Jacksonville
The Jaguars cut Funk from the practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Funk was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster for each of the Jaguars' last two games, but he did not play a snap in each of those contests. The 2021 seventh-round draft pick will explore his next options and look to join a team in need of backfield depth.
Returns to practice squad
Funk reverted to the Jaguars' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log. Funk was active, but did not play in the team's 30-27 loss to the Packers in Week 8. He operated as a depth option behind Tank Bigsby and D'Ernest Johnson at running back against Green Bay and could do so again Sunday in Philadelphia if Travis Etienne (hamstring) remains unavailable.
Elevated to face Packers
The Jaguars elevated Funk from the practice squad Saturday, ahead of Sunday's home matchup against the Packers, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports. Funk's elevation from the practice squad may indicate that Travis Etienne (hamstring), who is considered a game-time decision, is trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's contest against Green Bay. Even if Etienne can't suit up Week 8, though, Tank Bigsby and D'Ernest Johnson will rank clearly ahead of Funk on the backfield depth chart, leaving him with only a path to a reserve role.
Reverts to practice squad
Funk reverted to the Jaguars' practice squad Monday. Funk was elevated ahead of Sunday's matchup versus the Patriots to provide extra depth as Travis Etienne was sidelined with a hamstring injury. However, Funk ended up not seeing any playing time as Tank Bigsby and D'Ernest Johnson handled all the snaps at running back.
Elevated ahead of Week 7
The Jaguars elevated Funk from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday. Funk was unable to make the Lions' 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but he managed to catch on with the Jaguars' practice squad Oct. 1. His elevation to the active roster gives the Jags some insurance in the backfield in case Travis Etienne (hamstring) cannot play Sunday against the Patriots. If Etienne is inactive, Funk would serve as Jacksonville's No. 3 running back behind Tank Bigsby and D'Ernest Johnson.
Finds new opportunity
Funk signed with the Jaguars' practice squad Tuesday. Funk spent training camp with the Lions but wasn't able to secure a 53-man roster spot. He's been a free agent since, but he'll now have a chance to make an impression in Jacksonville. In a corresponding move, the Jaguars cut fellow running back Jalen Jackson from the practice squad.
Misses out on roster spot
Funk was waived by the Lions on Tuesday. Funk got some early-season run in the NFL with the Colts last year but was used mostly on special teams. He was cut by Indianapolis in early October, then had stints on the Dolphins' and Ravens' practice squads. Funk struggled to find running room for the Lions during the preseason, gaining just 62 yards on 22 carries, and he also hauled in three of nine targets for 29 yards and a touchdown in the passing game.
