Kareem was waived by the Falcons on Thursday, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports. Kareem was signed to the active roster in Week 11 and appeared in the overtime loss to the Panthers. The edge rusher's release was not followed by any other personnel moves, so the Falcons still have a 53-man roster spot available. If Kareem clears waivers, there is a good chance he will end up back with Atlanta on the practice squad.

The Falcons elevated Kareem to the active roster Thursday, Terrin Waack of the team's official website reports. Kareem spent the majority of the 2024 season on the Falcons' practice squad, appearing in two games where he recorded four total tackles (two solo). This is the 27-year-old's first time being elevated this season, and he'll provide additional depth at linebacker following DeAngelo Malone's placement on injured reserve.

Kareem (undisclosed) reached an injury settlement with the Bears on Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. The settlement gives Kareem a chance to play in 2024 if he lands with another team. The defensive end appeared in one game and on 24 defensive snaps for Chicago in 2023, recording one tackle and a pass defensed.

Chicago designated Kareem (hip) for return from its injured reserve list Wednesday. Kareem was a full participant at practice Wednesday, signaling he's likely to be activated for Week 8. He's still waiting to make his 2023 debut, but he figures to fill a rotational role on the Bears' defensive line once he does.

Kareem (hip), who was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, was placed on the Bears' injured reserve list Saturday, Chris Emma of 670TheScore.com reports. Kareem has been unable to see the field for the first two weeks of the season while dealing with a hip injury. He'll now be forced to sit out for the next four games and will be eligible to return in Week 7 against the Raiders on Oct. 22.
