Up from practice squad The Giants elevated Cager from their practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus the Texans, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Impact With regular starting tight end Daniel Bellinger (eye) out for Week 10, the Giants saw fit to elevate Cager to the 53-man roster for a second consecutive week. Cager has seen just two targets through two games in 2022.

Returns to practice squad Monday Cager reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact With Daniel Bellinger (eye) out, Cager was elevated to the active roster for Week 8 and operated as the third tight end behind Tanner Hudson and Chris Myarick. Cager played 12 of 65 offensive snaps but failed to haul in his only target. As long as Bellinger remains sidelined, Cager figures to be a likely candidate for elevation.

Elevated to active roster The Giants elevated Cager from their practice squad to the active roster Saturday for Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Impact Cager signed a practice-squad deal with the Giants in mid-October after being waived by the Jets. The 6-foot-5, 220-pound tight end started the season opener for the Jets but failed to haul in his only target and didn't see the field after Week 1. With Daniel Bellinger (eye) out, the Giants are expected to rotate tight ends frequently, but it remains unclear how big Cager's role will be during his first appearance with the Giants.

Joining the Giants' practice squad The Giants signed Cager to their practice squad Tuesday, Michael Eisen of the team's official site reports.

Impact Cager is slated to join the other New York team, after he was let go by the Jets on Saturday. In his only action in 2022, the 6-foot-5, 220-pound tight end started the season opener against the Ravens but failed to catch his lone target. Cager will now serve as an emergency depth option for the Giants' tight end group.

Goes to waivers The Jets waived Cager on Saturday.

Impact Cager signed with the Jets back in January, but he'll now become a free agent assuming he isn't claimed by another team during the current waiver period. The 25-year-old tight end has appeared in just four games in his NFL career.

Jets Sign TE Lawrence Cager and WR Rodney Adams to Reserve/Future Contracts Cager Signed with Green & White as Undrafted Free Agent in 2020; Transitioning from WR to TE

JANUARY 13, 2022 • NEWYORKJETS.COM

Signs contract with Jets The Jets signed Cager to a reserve/futures contract Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Cager spent the 2021 season on and off of the Browns' practice squad before signing a new contract with the Jets for the 2022 campaign. The wide receiver will return to the team he was with in 2020, a year in which he appeared in two games and made two catches for 35 yards.

JANUARY 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Added to Browns' practice squad Cager was signed to the Browns' practice squad Tuesday.

Impact The wide receiver was cut Friday but will return to the team's practice squad Tuesday. Cager has been on the active roster twice this season and failed to log a catch.

Inactive Monday Cager (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's game against the Raiders, Anthony Poisal of the Browns' official site reports.

Impact Cager was signed to the Browns' active roster ahead of Week 15, but he'll be a healthy scratch against Las Vegas. Since Jarvis Landry (illness) will be sidelined, Donovan Peoples-Jones, Rashard Higgins and Anthony Schwartz are in line to serve as the team's top receivers.

DECEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Signed to active roster Cager was signed to the Browns' active roster Thursday.

Impact Cager spent the last few weeks on Cleveland's practice squad, but he'll join the active roster since Jarvis Landry (illness) is on the reserve/COVID-19 list and Anthony Schwartz (concussion) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Raiders. Cager played just one offensive snap in his lone regular-season appearance this year.

DECEMBER 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Receives little run in win Cager played one snap and was not targeted in Sunday's 13-10 win over Detroit.

Impact Cager and Ja'Marcus Bradley were signed off the practice squad, as the Browns rolled without Donovan Peoples-Jones (groin) and Anthony Schwartz (concussion) against the Lions. Bradley (55 snaps) was the clear beneficiary of the opportunity. Should only one of the injured receivers return next Monday in Baltimore, then Cager would be the first removal from the active roster.

NOVEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Elevated to active roster Cager has been promoted to the Browns' active roster ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Lions.

Impact Cager was just activated off the practice squad's reserve/COVID-19 list after testing positive for the virus. He will now help provide depth at receiver in Week 11. With Anthony Schwartz (concussion) ruled out and Donovan Peoples-Jones (groin) questionable, he could potentially see some snaps right away.

NOVEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Back to practice squad The Browns restored Cager to their practice squad Wednesday after he spent time on Cleveland's reserve/COVID-19 list, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Impact Cager landed on the Browns' reserve/COVID-19 list after testing positive for COVID-19 before Week 10. After missing time over the last week, the receiver will return to the Browns' practices as soon as possible.

NOVEMBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Tests positive for COVID-19 Cager did test positive for COVID-19 on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Cager was placed on the Browns' practice squad COVID-19 list Monday, but it was not known if he had actually tested positive or was a close contact. Cager will try to clear protocols and return to the field as quickly as possible.

NOVEMBER 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on COVID-19 list Cager was placed on the Browns' practice squad COVID-19 list Monday.

Impact Cager joined the Browns' practice squad Oct. 4 after failing to make the Jets' initial 53-man roster to begin the season. The second-year wideout has yet to make an appearance this season, so his absence shouldn't affect Cleveland's offensive gameplan.

NOVEMBER 8, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Let go by Jets Cager was waived by the Jets on Monday, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.

Impact Cager appeared in two games for the Jets last season, recording two catches for 35 yards. The second-year receiver scored a touchdown in the Jets preseason game against the Eagles but clearly it wasn't enough for him to make the roster. Look for Cager to try to sneak onto a roster or practice squad somewhere else.
