Tre' McKitty - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Joins Cleveland's practice squad The Browns signed McKitty to the practice squad Wednesday.

Impact McKitty spent time during the offseason with Buffalo, but this is his first time joining a practice squad during the 2024 regular season. The tight end appeared in six games with the Chargers back in 2023, but in that span he didn't record any offensive statistics.

Let go by Buffalo McKitty was waived by the Bills on Tuesday, Alec White of the team's official website reports.

Impact McKitty signed a reserve/future contract with Buffalo in January, reeling in a 20-yard reception on his only target in the preseason. If the tight end clears waivers, he could join the Bills' practice squad ahead of the 2024 campaign.

Signs with Buffalo The Bills signed McKitty to a reserve/future contract Monday.

Impact McKitty finished the season on Buffalo's practice squad, and now he'll get a chance to compete for a spot on its 53-man roster for 2024. He played six games with the Chargers this season, but he did not draw any targets.

Joins Bills' practice squad Buffalo signed McKitty to its practice squad Tuesday.

Impact Just a week after being waived by the Chargers, McKitty has already found another opportunity with a new team. With Dawson Knox (wrist) and Zach Davidson (undisclosed) both on the Bills' injured reserve list, McKitty could be called up as soon as Monday versus Denver.

Let go by Los Angeles The Chargers waived McKitty on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact McKitty played 96 snaps -- 61 on offense and 35 on special teams -- across six games this season and did not record a stat. The 2021 third-round pick didn't get much of a chance to participate in the Chargers' offense behind Gerald Everett and Donald Parham. McKitty will be able to explore his next moves should he clear waivers.

Inefficient season McKitty finished the 2022-23 season catching 10 of his 18 targets for 72 yards.

Impact McKitty failed to surpass 100 yards on the season despite playing in every game, and he was outgained by Donald Parham, who only suited up for six contests. While McKitty has primarily been used as a run blocker, he has still failed to live up to his status as a third-round pick. Don't expect McKitty to be involved more as a pass catcher unless the Chargers opt not to bring back Parham, who is a restricted free agent.

JANUARY 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Just one catch McKitty snared one of his two targets for 10 yards in the 20-3 win over the Colts on Monday.

Impact McKitty continues to see plenty of snaps as a blocking specialist and has slowly been incorporated into the passing attack more as a result. The second-year tight end has drawn four targets in the past four games after combining for just seven total from Weeks 1-11. Needless to say, McKitty should not be in fantasy consideration unless injuries impact the availability of Donald Parham or Gerald Everett.

DECEMBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Records short reception in win McKitty recorded a five-yard reception on his lone target in Sunday's 23-17 win over the Chargers.

Impact Though Gerald Everett is the Chargers' starting tight end, McKitty frequently shares the field with him. He played 40 snaps on offense in Week 14, though unlike Everett -- who finished with five catches for 28 yards on eight targets -- McKitty wasn't prominently featured in the passing attack. Since earning six targets Week 10 against the 49ers, McKitty has drawn only two looks from quarterback Justin Herbert in the Chargers' subsequent four games.

DECEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ineffective in loss McKitty caught his only target for eight yards during the 27-20 loss to the Raiders on Sunday.

Impact McKitty was targeted for just the first time in the past three weeks as he continues to fight for opportunities. Despite playing nine more snaps than Stone Smartt, he was still targeted two less times than the rookie tight end, as he continues to be utilized primarily as a blocking specialist. Barring an injury, McKitty's production shouldn't be expected to increase and thus doesn't have much fantasy value except in the deepest of leagues.

DECEMBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Targetless in win McKitty did not see a single target during Sunday's 25-24 win against the Cardinals.

Impact Gerald Everett (groin) returned to the lineup after missing last week's game, relegating McKitty to his role as blocking specialist. With Everett and Keenan Allen (hamstring) now healthy, along with Mike Williams (ankle) potentially returning soon, McKitty should continue to struggle with getting targets, and he doesn't have much fantasy value except in the deepest of leagues.

NOVEMBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Absent in box score despite start McKitty did not record a target in Sunday's 30-27 loss to Kansas City.

Impact Even with Gerald Everett (groin) out, McKitty never factored in the box score. The second-year tight end did end up playing 60 percent of the offensive snaps, so it wasn't as if he lacked playing time. Everett's absence is not expected to be a long-term issue, which means McKitty will likely return to his depth role.

NOVEMBER 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Big drop in loss McKitty caught three of his six targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 22-16 loss to the 49ers.

Impact McKitty saw a massive increase in playing time after Gerald Everett left Sunday's game with a groin injury, and the second-year tight end would have had a nice outing if not for an easy first-half drop that would have went for a touchdown. Everett's status is one to monitor this week, as the Chargers typically tend to use at least one tight end as a pass catcher, particularly with Mike Williams (ankle) and Keenan Allen (hamstring) sidelined. Typically known as a blocking specialist, McKitty might be forced into a prominent role if Everett was to miss extended time.

Can't corral either target Week 5 McKitty played 35 of the Chargers' 69 offensive snaps and failed to haul in either of his two targets in Sunday's 30-28 win over the Browns.

Impact Even though Donald Parham (hamstring) suited up for the first time all season, McKitty maintained his standing as the No. 2 tight end behind Gerald Everett. McKitty managed to clear 50 percent of the offensive snaps for the fourth time in five games, but he continued to function mostly as a blocker during his time on the field. The 6-foot-4, 246-pound McKitty is unlikely to see an expanded role in the passing attack unless Everett misses time.

OCTOBER 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Misses practice McKitty (undisclosed) didn't practice Wednesday, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Coach Brandon Staley stated McKitty is dealing with a "soft tissue" injury, adding the tight end is day-to-day. It appears the team is exercising caution with the second-year tight end. McKitty currently finds himself behind both Gerald Everett and Donald Parham in the tight end pecking order, so it's likely he'll face an uphill battle for playing time this season, barring an injury to either of his aforementioned teammates.

Quiet rookie season McKitty caught six of eight targets for 45 yards across 11 appearances during the 2021 campaign.

Impact McKitty didn't play until after the Chargers' Week 7 bye, but the third-round rookie appeared in every game after that, notching double-digit offensive snaps in all but one contest. However, he didn't really get involved in the passing game until Donald Parham suffered a concussion Week 15. From Weeks 15-18, McKitty drew at least one target in each game and caught five of six targets for 38 yards. With starting tight end Jared Cook set to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, McKitty could be in store for a larger role in Year 2.
