KHARI BLASINGAME NEWS

Lone fullback on roster Blasingame has no competition for the Bears' fullback role, Gene Chamberlain of SI.com reports.

Impact Blasingame is expected to see snaps as a blocker when the Bears use their wide-zone blocking scheme, but he's unlikely to see many rushing attempts. In his three seasons with the Titans, he played 313 snaps while handling three carries for six yards. Unless he has a significant role change, it's unlikely he sees enough work to be a weekly fantasy option in most leagues.

Inks one-year deal Blasingame signed a one-year contract with the Bears on Tuesday, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.

Impact Blasingame was not tendered a contract by the Titans and will now join the Bears as a free agent. The 25-year-old appeared in 11 games last season, compiling six yards on three carries and two receptions for four yards on two targets. However, Blasingame's value comes as a blocker, and he helped lead the way for Derrick Henry for parts of the last three seasons, including when Henry led the league in rushing in 2019 and 2020. He'll now work to help David Montgomery gain extra yards in 2022.

Parting ways with Tennessee Blasingame will become an unrestricted free agent as the Titans aren't tendering him a contract for 2022, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.

Impact Blasingame missed time with a knee injury and played only 80 offensive snaps in 11 games last season, so the Titans won't tender him a contract for the upcoming campaign. The fullback received the first carries of his three-year NFL career in 2021, rushing three times for six yards.

Inactive against Jacksonville Blasingame (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Blasingame returned from a four-game absence in Week 12, and he played primarily on special teams in addition to earning three rushing attempts. However, he'll now be inactive in favor of Tory Carter who has yet to log an offensive statistic this season.

Makes 2021 debut Blasingame carried the ball three times for six yards in Sunday's 36-13 loss to the Patriots.

Impact Blasingame was activated from injured reserve Saturday and took the field for his season debut against New England. After failing to record a rushing attempt in 2020, Blasingame immediately got some involvement as a rusher. However, even given the Titans' injury-riddled backfield, he isn't likely to see expanded involvement in the offense moving forward.

Impact The 25-year-old has been inactive since Week 7, and the team now has 21 days to either activate him or place him back on IR, which would end his season. Blasingame has been used exclusively as a blocker this season, failing to record a carry over six contests in 2021.

Won't play Sunday Blasingame (knee) will not play Sunday against the Rams, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Blasingame will miss his second consecutive game Sunday after not being able to get in any practice time this week. With Derrick Henry (foot) on IR, the fullback's blocking skills will be sorely missed. Tory Carter (shoulder) has been added to the active roster to replace him, but he is also dealing with an injury and is questionable Sunday. Blasingame will try to return in Week 10 against the Saints.

Sidelined for Week 8 Blasingame (knee) won't play in Sunday's game against the Colts, Terry McCormick of Titans Insider reports.

Impact Not having the fullback in there to block may be a minor setback, but Derrick Henry and the Titans' running game should be just fine in Blasingame's absence. Blasingame hasn't touched the ball this season after totaling four scrimmage yards apiece in each of his first two campaigns with Tennessee.
