Receives two touches Grant rushed once for 11 yards and caught his only target for six yards in the Bears' 16-13 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
Impact Grant's greatest value to the Bears is as a returner, and any offensive touches he receives are a bonus. Aside from leagues that award points for return yardage, Grant's fantasy value will be minimal unless his sees an increase in usage.

Will play Sunday Grant (ankle) is active for Sunday's matchup with the 49ers.
Impact Grant was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, but he was able to log full practices Thursday and Friday. The 29-year-old wideout isn't expected to be a factor for Chicago's offense Sunday, as he has recorded just two catches on the season.

Questionable for Week 8 Grant (ankle) is considered questionable for the Bears' Week 8 contest with the 49ers on Sunday.
Impact Grant suffered his ankle injury against the Packers in Week 6 and has had a minimal role on the Bears' offense so far this season. The receiver has only recorded two catches all season and he has yet to play more than seven offensive snaps in a game. If Grant is unable to suit up, it's likely Breshad Perriman will fill his depth receiver role against the 49ers.

Ready for Week 7 Grant (ankle) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Impact Grant was sidelined for the first two days of practice but managed a limited session Friday. That will be enough for him to suit up and serve primarily as a returner in the kicking game in Week 7.

Questionable with ankle injury Grant (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay.
Impact Grant failed to practice Wednesday or Thursday but logged a limited session Friday, which will at least give him a glimmer of hope to suit up. He has totaled minus-7 receiving yards this season, but Grant plays a significant special teams role as both the kick returner and punt returner. If Grant sits out against the Buccaneers, Damiere Byrd will likely work as Chicago's return man.

Sidelined Wednesday Grant (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.
Impact Grant picked up the injury during Sunday's Week 6 loss to the Packers during a long kick return that was ultimately called back due to a penalty. He managed to return to the game, but the issue is apparently still bothering him to begin the practice week.

Able to return Grant (ankle) returned to Sunday's game against the Packers, Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Impact Grant was shaken up after a long punt return that was nullified by penalty. He was spotted returning a kick later in the game, and he should continue to serve as a key special teams player for the Bears for the remainder of the game.

Dealing with ankle injury Grant suffered an ankle injury during Sunday's game against the Packers, Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Impact Grant was hobbled after a long punt return, though his effort was nullified by a penalty. It's unclear whether he will be able to retake the field. If Grant remains sidelined, Damiere Byrd would likely take on the punt return role.

Active to face Packers Grant (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Packers.
Impact Grant was limited in practice Thursday, but the injury wasn't serious enough to keep him out of this game. He's not expected to hold a big role on offense, however, as he only has two receptions this year.

Pops up on injury report Grant (groin) was limited in practice Thursday.
Impact Grant didn't appear on the injury report Wednesday, implying that he picked up the issue during practice. The fact that he was still able to take the field in any capacity is positive, though his status for Sunday's game against the Packers remains ambiguous. In his first game with the Bears, Grant played only two offensive snaps. He could see an increased role in Week 6 if Allen Robinson (ankle) is unable to play.

Traded to Windy City The Dolphins are trading Grant to the Bears in exchange for a 2023 sixth-round pick Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact Grant found himself on the outside of Miami's regular offensive rotation this season, in large part due to the arrival of new starters Will Fuller (finger) and Jaylen Waddle, but in Chicago he could see more utilization. The Bears are in need of more consistent contribution behind Allen Robinson and Darnell Mooney, and Grant could offer Damiere Byrd and Marquise Goodwin real competition for the No. 3 role. The 28-year-old is also a quality option in the return game.

Barely plays offense Week 3 Grant was not targeted during Sunday's 31-28 overtime loss to the Raiders.
Impact Grant dealt with an ankle injury leading into Week 3, which may explain in part why he only handled two offensive snaps versus Las Vegas. On the other hand, the debut of Will Fuller may have simply deprived Grant of any real opportunities to handle skill-position reps. The speedster did lock down his usual role as Miami's top return man, but as long as he's limited almost entirely to special teams, he will remain off the fantasy radar in the vast majority of formats.

Limited to start week Grant (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Grant is looking somewhat iffy for Week 3 due to an ankle sprain, so it's encouraging to see that he's at least able to handle limited practice reps. With quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) already ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders, the Dolphins will need all the help they can get at the skill positions.

Nursing ankle sprain Grant is managing an ankle sprain picked up during Sunday's 35-0 blowout loss to the Bills, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Grant has avoided a serious injury, but he could still be forced to miss some time while working through his recovery. Rookie first-round pick Jaylen Waddle will stand to take over as Miami's primary return man as long as Grant is sidelined.

Injures ankle Sunday Grant (anke) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Bills.
Impact Grant suffered the injury in the first half of the contest. If he is unable to return, rookie first-round pick Jaylen Waddle will likely take on return duties for the remainder of the contest.

No targets Week 1 Grant played just seven offensive snaps and didn't record a target during Sunday's win over the Patriots.
Impact Grant appeared in 14 games last season for the Dolphins and recorded 36 receptions for 373 yards -- both career-highs. He suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 16 last year, but he appeared healthy coming into training camp. Grant's role in the 2021 offense remains unclear after the Dolphins added Will Fuller and Jaylen Waddle to their receiving corps this offseason.
