Joe Webb: Released Tuesday
Webb was released by the Giants on Tuesday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Webb never really had a chance to get off the ground with the Giants, suiting up for just two games last season purely as a special teams player. An emergency quarterback/wide receiver like Webb could certainly be viewed as an intriguing depth piece, but the need for that versatility figures to lessen in a more normal 2021 campaign.

Joe Webb: Hits waivers
The Giants waived Webb on Saturday, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.
Webb was initially signed to add depth at quarterback following Daniel Jones' hamstring injury. However, he suited up in just two games for the Giants, playing exclusively on special teams and recording one solo tackle. If Webb clears waivers and the Giants make the playoffs, he'll be a practice squad candidate.

Giants' Joe Webb: Signed to active roster
The Giants signed Webb to the active roster Saturday, Michael Eisen of the team's official site reports.
Webb joined the Giants' practice squad just last week, and with Daniel Jones (hamstring/ankle) not expected to play against the Browns on Sunday, Webb could now get a chance to handle reserve duties. Webb boasts the versatility to provide emergency depth at both quarterback and wide receiver while also contributing on special teams.

Joe Webb: Joins Giants' practice squad
Webb signed a contract with the Giants' practice squad Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN.com reports.
The veteran quarterback logged a stint with the Lions' practice squad earlier this season, as a wide receiver. Webb has not seen game-action since 2018 and will likely serve as emergency depth under center until Daniel Jones (hamstring) returns to full strength.

Joe Webb: Visits with Giants
The Giants hosted Webb for a visit Tuesday, Albert Breer of NFL Network reports.
With starting quarterback Daniel Jones (hamstring) in danger of missing time, the Giants are predictably looking for options to add depth at the position. Colt McCoy will start if Jones indeed misses time, and practice squad member Clayton Thorson could be promoted to serve as McCoy's backup. Webb may start off on the practice squad if he ends up signing in New York.

Joe Webb: Cut from practice squad
The Lions cut Webb from the practice squad Tuesday.
The veteran wide receiver hasn't played a game since the 2018 season when he was with Houston. The 33-year-old likely will have to settle for another practice squad role elsewhere, if he can find one.

Joe Webb: Joins practice squad as WR
The Lions signed Webb to the practice squad as a wide receiver on Wednesday.
Webb's versatility allows him to function as both a quarterback and wideout, but it looks as though the Lions are more focused on his pass-catching capabilities. The veteran hasn't appeared in a regular-season contest since 2018, when he had 16 appearances with the Texans.

Texans' Joe Webb: Lands on IR
The Texans placed Webb on injured reserve Saturday due to a foot injury, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Wilson notes that the team considers Webb's season to be over because of this injury. The 32-year-old suffered the injury Thursday in Houston's preseason finale against the Rams. Webb was expected to slot in as the third-string passer, but now it seems likely that the team will try to bring in another quarterback for depth.

Texans' Joe Webb: Gets heavy usage again
Webb completed 14 of 25 passes for 186 yards and one touchdown with one interception in Saturday's preseason Week 2 win over the Lions.
Webb came in after Deshaun Watson played the first series of the game, getting heavy usage for the second straight week. With AJ McCarron sidelined by a thumb injury that could cause him to miss all of preseason, Webb is operating as the Texans' No. 2 quarterback for now.

Texans' Joe Webb: Signing with Houston
Webb is returning to Houston on a one-year contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Webb is an interesting player to have in the fold given his capabilities on both offense and special teams. In addition to serving as a depth quarterback, the 32-year-old also functions as an emergency wide receiver -- which proved useful in 2018 when wideout injuries forced Webb into playing 32 offensive snaps in Week 14 against the Colts. In Houston, Webb is the clear third-string signal-caller behind Deshaun Watson and AJ McCarron.

Texans' Joe Webb: Needed at WR
Webb was pressed into duty as a slot receiver Sunday and caught two of three targets for 13 yards in a 24-21 loss to Indianapolis.
Webb is Houston's third-string quarterback and a full-timer on special teams but was needed when DeAndre Carter left the game with a concussion. Carter was getting reps because Keke Coutee (hamstring) was inactive for a third straight week. Coach Bill O'Brien preferred using the versatile Webb, who has played receiver in the NFL and had eight career receptions prior to Sunday, over an established wideout like Sammie Coates, who has limited experience in the slot. If health issues linger into Week 15 against the Jets, the Texans could make Vyncint Smith active next week, and they have a couple of wide receivers on their practice squad in addition to Coates.
