The Packers signed Knowles (undisclosed) to their practice squad Wednesday. The Kansas State product was waived by the Vikings in early September with an injury settlement, but signing with the Packers' practice squad suggests he's moved past the issue he was facing. Knowles has yet to appear in an NFL game, but he posted a 48-725-2 receiving line in his final collegiate season in 2022.
Knowles (undisclosed) was waived after reaching an injury settlement with the Vikings on Tuesday, per the NFL's official transaction log. Knowles was placed on injured reserve by Minnesota on Wednesday after suffering an undisclosed injury during the preseason, but he'll now have a chance to return to action in 2024. The wide receiver will look to pass a physical and sign with a new team in the near future.
Knowles (undisclosed) reverted to injured reserve Wednesday, according to the NFL's transaction log. The wide receiver was waived with an injury designation Tuesday. The severity of Knowles' injury remains unclear. Knowles will have to reach an injury settlement with the Vikings to play in 2024.
Minnesota waived Knowles (undisclosed) with an injury designation Tuesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports. Knowles, an undrafted free agent from Kansas State, is dealing with an injury of unknown severity. If the wideout clears waivers, he'll revert to injured reserve and remain there throughout the 2024 season unless he and the Vikings reach an injury settlement.
Knowles caught his only target for a one-yard touchdown and returned one kickoff for 24 yards in Saturday's 27-12 preseason win over the Browns. The undrafted receiver out of Kansas State missed all of last season with an undisclosed injury, and he also began training camp dealing with an injury that kept him out of the Vikings' preseason opener. Knowles was in the lineup Saturday, however, and looked pretty healthy, leaping high to snag a one-yard corner fade from Jaren Hall at the back of the end zone on Minnesota's first possession of the second half. Knowles' ability to return kickoffs -- he had 1,254 return yards over his final two years at Kansas State -- could give him an edge on winning at least a spot on the practice squad given the NFL's changes to the kickoff rules this season.
Knowles (undisclosed) was spotted on the sidelines of Monday's camp session, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports. Knowles, an undrafted second-year wide receiver out of Kansas State, had been dealing with an undisclosed injury over the past week. It seems as if he could be nearing a return to the field, and once he does, Knowles is expected to compete for a depth spot in Minnesota's wide receiver corps.
