The Bears released Sharpe (ribs) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Friday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Bears' Tajae Sharpe: Out for season with rib injury
Rotowire
Bears head coach Matt Eberflus said Wednesday that Sharpe is dealing with a rib injury that will sideline him for the entire 2022 campaign, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Sharpe missed the final two exhibition games after leading the team with 44 yards during the preseason opener. His injury wasn't disclosed immediately and was continually labeled as day-to-day. However, after initially making the 53-man roster, he was placed on injured reserve early Wednesday, which -- barring an injury settlement, will end his 2022 campaign. Eberflus has since informed the media that Sharpe has been dealing with a rib injury, but it's unclear why it took so long for Chicago to put him on IR.

Bears' Tajae Sharpe: No longer on NFI list
Rotowire
Sharpe (undisclosed) was removed from the active/non-football injury list Tuesday, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Heading into his seventh season, Sharpe has been cleared to begin practicing with the Bears, as he'll have an opportunity to rejuvenate his NFL career. The seventh-year wideout spent his 2021 campaign with the Falcons, where he accounted for 25 receptions and 230 yards in 15 games. Along with Sharpe, the team also brought in a plethora of veteran receivers, including N'Keal Harry, Equanimeous St. Brown, Dante Pettis and David Moore to compete behind top options Darnell Mooney and Byron Pringle.

Bears' Tajae Sharpe: On NFI list to open camp

Bears' Tajae Sharpe: Heading to Chicago
Rotowire
Sharpe agreed to a one-year contract with the Bears on Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Falcons' Tajae Sharpe: Two targets, zero catches
Rotowire
Sharpe drew two targets but failed to record a reception during Sunday's 30-20 loss to the Saints.
Sharpe returned from a two-game absence but remained relatively uninvolved in Atlanta's offense. In his first season with the Falcons, the fifth-year wideout hauled in 25 catches for 230 yards but didn't record a touchdown across 15 appearances. He's set to become a free agent this offseason, but it's unclear what type of market he will draw or if Atlanta will be interested in a reunion. Barring Calvin Ridley (personal) returning to the team in 2022, Atlanta likely will be in search of weapons to pair with 2021 first-round pick Kyle Pitts, so a potential return to the Falcons isn't out of the question for Sharpe.

Falcons' Tajae Sharpe: Won't suit up Week 17
Rotowire
Sharpe (illness) won't be available for Sunday's game against the Bills after the Falcons didn't activate him from the reserve/COVID-19 list prior to Saturday's deadline for Week 17 roster moves, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
He's one of two key Atlanta pass catchers that will remain on the list for the Week 17 contest, joining tight end Hayden Hurst (illness). Sharpe's absence will likely allow Olamide Zaccheaus and Christian Blake to join Russell Gage in three-receiver sets, while the blocking-oriented Lee Smith will serve as the top backup to starting tight end Kyle Pitts.

Falcons' Tajae Sharpe: Appears unlikely to play
Rotowire
Sharpe (foot) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Lions.
Sharpe wasn't able to practice in any capacity this week while nursing the foot injury, but the Falcons haven't completely closed the door on him playing Sunday. That said, unless he shows more improvement than expected when he's evaluated early Sunday, he likely will wind up on the inactive list for the first time all season. Sharpe has taken on an increased role on offense since Calvin Ridley went on personal leave Week 7, but the expected absences of both players this week should clear the way for Olamide Zaccheaus to serve as quarterback Matt Ryan's top option at outside receiver, while Russell Gage works out of the slot. Kyle Pitts also could pick up more snaps while lining up out wide, which would allow him and fellow tight end Hayden Hurst to share the field more often.

Falcons' Tajae Sharpe: Considered day-to-day
Rotowire
Sharpe (foot) is considered day-to-day and won't practice Wednesday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Sharpe suffered the foot injury during Sunday's loss to the 49ers, exiting early before he caught a pass. He's been working as the No. 2 receiver in recent weeks, but the role hasn't translated to many targets.
