SAMORI TOURE NEWS

Set for another opportunity Toure signed a reserve/future contract with the Bears on Monday, Chris Emma of 670TheScore.com reports.

Impact Toure joined Chicago's practice squad after failing to make the Packers' 53-man roster out of training camp. The 2022 seventh-round selection never saw an opportunity on the Bears' active roster this past season, but has appeared in 22 games previously for Green Bay, making 13 catches on 28 targets for 160 yards and a touchdown.

Finds work in Chicago Toure signed with the Bears' practice squad Thursday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

Impact Toure failed to make the Packers' initial 53-man roster Tuesday and has since opted to sign with the Bears' practice squad. The 2022 seventh-round pick out of Nebraska spent the first two seasons of his career in Green Bay, appearing in 22 regular-season games and recording 160 receiving yards on 13 receptions, with one touchdown.

Cut by Green Bay Toure was waived by the Packers on Tuesday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site reports.

Impact The wide receiver caught five passes for 53 yards in the preseason but missed out on the sixth and final spot on Green Bay's depth chart. Toure caught 13 passes for 160 yards and a touchdown over his first two seasons with the Packers.

Nabs two more receptions Toure corralled two of four targets for 28 yards in Saturday's preseason tilt against the Ravens.

Impact Toure got consistent work this preseason in absence of Green Bay's regular starters, finishing with five receptions for 53 yards and one carry for as many yards. The third-year receiver remains in the mix for one of the Packers' final roster spots as Week 1 approaches.

AUGUST 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Tallies two receptions Toure was targeted twice and caught two passes for 17 yards in Sunday's preseason game against the Broncos.

Impact Toure tallied a reception, a carry and two punt returns in the first game of the exhibition season, and he tacked on two more catches Sunday. He remains in the mix for a roster spot, but he occupies no higher than the seventh spot on the depth chart.

Suits up 11 times as rookie Toure was targeted 10 times and caught five passes for 82 yards and a touchdown over 11 games in the 2022 season.

Impact Toure made only a minimal impact in his rookie season, but the seventh-rounder did spend the entire campaign on the 53-man roster and made a couple plays around the midway point. He will have a chance to carve out a role as a sophomore, but he will find himself behind fellow youngsters Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs, and likely at least another player or two.

Tallies first catch since Week 9 Toure was targeted once and caught one pass for seven yards in Sunday's 28-19 victory over the Bears.

Impact After finishing fifth among Packers wideouts in snaps in back-to-back weeks, Toure placed fourth in that department Sunday and hauled in his first pass since Week 9. Toure was still on the field for only 12 plays, and he could be knocked back down a run when the Packers return to action in Week 15, as fellow rookie wideout Romeo Doubs (ankle) will likely be ready to get back on the field following Green Bay's Week 14 bye.

Snaps dwindle again Toure played four snaps and was not targeted in Thursday's 27-17 loss to the Titans.

Impact Since playing a season-high 25 snaps in Week 9, Toure was on the field for just 12 plays the following week and only a third of that number one game later. Barring an injury to one of his fellow wideouts, his role will likely remain limited in the Packers' Week 12 matchup with the Eagles.

NOVEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Reduced role in Week 10 Toure played 12 snaps on offense in Sunday's 31-28 overtime victory over the Cowboys but was not targeted.

Impact Toure had a bit of momentum heading into Week 10, but that came to a halt, as he did not see a pass in his direction and played eight fewer snaps than Sammy Watkins -- who finished a distant third in the snap count department behind Allen Lazard and Christian Watson. Toure will remain in the mix as long as fellow wideouts Romeo Doubs (ankle) and Randall Cobb (ankle) are sidelined, but given how Watson (4-107-3 on eight targets) fared in Week 10, Toure's stock may have plateaued.

NOVEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Gains 34 yards in loss Toure pulled in two of four targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 15-9 loss to the Lions.

Impact Starting wideout Romeo Dobbs (ankle) was carted off the field in the first half, so Toure saw his role elevated for the second week in a row. The seventh-round rookie was unable to reproduce last week's trip to the end zone, but he has now seen four targets in consecutive games. If Dobbs -- who was seen on crutches after the game -- is forced to miss next week's tilt against the Cowboys, Toure could generate enough targets for those in deeper formats or as a flier in DFS tournaments.
