Jaguars' Devante Mays: Reverts to IR
Mays (ankle) cleared waivers and reverted to the Jaguars' injured reserve, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Mays suffered the ankle injury during the preseason finale and was waived/injured by the Jags over the weekend, but he'll stick with the team after going unclaimed on waivers. The 25-year-old will spend the entirety of the season on IR unless he reaches an injury settlement with the team.

Mays will not return to Thursday's preseason tilt with Atlanta due to an ankle injury, Tad Dickman of the Jaguars' official site reports.

Jaguars' Devante Mays: Added to Jags' roster
Mays and the Jaguars agreed on an undisclosed contract Wednesday, Phillip Heilman of The Athletic reports.
Mays was recently let go by the Browns after signing a reserve/futures contract, but was able to find a new team. The 25-year-old has eight games of NFL experience to his name, rushing for just one yard on four attempts during the 2017 season with Green Bay.

Devante Mays: Let go by Browns
Mays was cut by the Browns on Monday, Nick Shook of the Browns' official site reports.
Mays signed a reserve/future contract Jan. 1, but in the end he was waived to make room for fellow running back L.J. Scott. The Utah State product's last regular-season action came when he appeared in eight games for the Packers after being drafted by them in 2017, logging four carries for one yard.

Browns' Devante Mays: Signs deal with Cleveland
Mays signed a reserve/future contract with the Browns on Tuesday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
After being picked in the seventh round by the Packers in the 2017 NFL Draft, Mays suited up for eight games last season, gaining just one yard on four carries. He was released with an injury settlement before this campaign began and spent time on the Browns' practice squad. Mays will look for a depth spot in Cleveland's backfield, but he won't command many touches behind Nick Chubb and Duke Johnson.

Devante Mays: Signs with Browns' practice squad
Mays signed a contract to join the Browns' practice squad Tuesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Mays was drafted by Green Bay as a seventh-rounder back in 2017, but he was largely limited to special teams there and only notched one rushing yard on four carries when he was given a chance on offense. It's now possible he could get another chance to prove his worth in Cleveland should injuries strike either Nick Chubb or Duke Johnson.

Devante Mays: Agrees on injury settlement
Mays (hamstring) and the Packers came to terms on an injury settlement Monday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Mays spent the preseason dealing with a nagging hamstring injury and was ultimately waived/injured by Green Bay. The 2017 seventh-rounder is now free to look for a home elsewhere in the league.

Packers' Devante Mays: Reverts to IR
Mays (hamstring) cleared waivers and reverted to injured reserve, according to the league's official transaction log.
Mays has been dealing with a nagging hamstring injury that prevented the running back from participating in any preseason games this summer. The 2017 seventh-rounder is now stuck on IR through the end of the league year, barring an injury settlement.

Devante Mays: Let go by Packers
The Packers waived Mays (hamstring) on Saturday, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.
Per Wood, there's been talk that the two sides are discussing an injury settlement, which wouldn't allow the Packers to re-sign Mays to the practice squad. With a hamstring injury still in tow, another organization may not take a chance on Mays either, while agreeing to a settlement would hurt his chances of returning to Green Bay.

Packers' Devante Mays: Not playing Thursday
Mays is not playing in Thursday's preseason finale due to a hamstring injury, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.
Mays has not played all preseason and is in serious danger of missing the Packers final roster. With Aaron Jones suspended for the first two games of the regular season, Mays looks to be competing with Joel Bouagnon, who has 29 rushes for 76 yards and a touchdown so far this preseason, for a spot on the active roster to open the campaign.

Packers' Devante Mays: Back at practice
Mays (hamstring) returned to practice Monday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Mays missed about three weeks of the preseason due to a hamstring injury, and finally seems to have recovered. Even with Aaron Jones (suspension) suspended two games, it's hard to imagine Mays carving out a notable offensive role behind Jamaal Williams (ankle) and Ty Montgomery in the backfield. Mays will compete for a depth role through the end of the preseason, and isn't a lock to make the 53-man roster.

Packers' Devante Mays: Out another week
Mays (hamstring) won't practice this week and is slated to miss Friday's preseason tilt against the Raiders as a result, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.
Packers coach Mike McCarthy said Mays' hamstring evaluation was not encouraging and the issue will continue to be a major roadblock in his quest to make the 53-man roster. With Jamaal Williams (ankle) and Aaron Jones (hamstring, suspension) limited this week, Ty Montgomery and Joel Bouagnon figure to see additional opportunities at running back heading into Week 3 of the preseason.

Packers' Devante Mays: Evaluation coming Sunday
Head coach Mike McCarthy indicated Friday that Mays (hamstring) will be evaluated again Sunday, Michael Cohen of The Athletic Wisconsin reports.
Mays has not practiced for a while as he continues to battle injuries, but the reevaluation Sunday should provide a little clarity on his status moving forward. When healthy, Mays is in the mix for a depth role at running back for the Packers, but continued absences could hurt his chances of securing a 53-man spot out of camp.

Packers' Devante Mays: Misses another game
Mays (hamstring) didn't play in Thursday's preseason win over the Steelers.
Despite sitting out for a second straight week, Mays saw his roster odds improve when Jamaal Williams left the game with an ankle injury. Williams doesn't believe the injury is serious, but it is another problem for a backfield that will already be missing Aaron Jones (hamstring, suspension) for the first two weeks of the season. Mays entered training camp competing for the No. 4 running back spot with Joel Bouagnon and Akeem Judd. The same battle may now lead to the No. 2/3 spot for the first week or two of the regular season.

Packers' Devante Mays: No go for preseason opener
Mays (hamstring) will not play in Thursday's preseason opener against the Titans, Michael Cohen of The Athletic Wisconsin reports.
While it's possible Mays is being held out for precautionary reasons, the running back has nonetheless been out of commission for a week after injuring his hamstring in training camp in early August. Mays' next opportunity to see exhibition action is next Thursday against the Steelers.

Packers' Devante Mays: Leaves practice with hamstring injury
Mays left Friday's practice with a hamstring injury, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal reports.
The severity of Mays' injury isn't clear, and it's therefore hard to say when he'll be back on the field. The 2017 seventh-rounder is trying to stick as the No. 4 running back behind Ty Montgomery, Jamaal Williams and Aaron Jones.

Packers' Devante Mays: Quiet in season finale
Mays returned to the Packers' Week 17 loss to the Lions after suffering a shoulder injury, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com, and finished the game with one carry for two yards and three receptions for no yards.
The four touches upped Mays' total touches on the year to seven, as he played a bit role for the Packers in his rookie season. The team liked him enough to keep him on the roster all season, but he will be behind fellow rookie runners Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams on the depth chart moving forward, so he is going to have to compete to hold onto his spot in 2018.
