The Jaguars cut Funk from the practice squad Tuesday.
It's the second time Funk has been let go from Jacksonville's practice squad this season. He was elevated from the Jaguars' practice squad to the active roster for Week 7 and 8, though he did not play a single snap across those two contests. Funk will look to catch on with a team in need of running back depth on the practice squad.

Jake Funk: Let go by Jacksonville
The Jaguars cut Funk from the practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Funk was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster for each of the Jaguars' last two games, but he did not play a snap in each of those contests. The 2021 seventh-round draft pick will explore his next options and look to join a team in need of backfield depth.

Jake Funk: Returns to practice squad
Funk reverted to the Jaguars' practice squad Monday.
Funk was active but did not play in the team's 30-27 loss to the Packers in Week 8. He operated as a depth option behind Tank Bigsby and D'Ernest Johnson at running back against Green Bay and could do so again Sunday in Philadelphia if Travis Etienne (hamstring) remains unavailable.

Jaguars' Jake Funk: Elevated to face Packers
The Jaguars elevated Funk from the practice squad Saturday, ahead of Sunday's home matchup against the Packers, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Funk's elevation from the practice squad may indicate that Travis Etienne (hamstring), who is considered a game-time decision, is trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's contest against Green Bay. Even if Etienne can't suit up Week 8, though, Tank Bigsby and D'Ernest Johnson will rank clearly ahead of Funk on the backfield depth chart, leaving him with only a path to a reserve role.

Jake Funk: Reverts to practice squad
Funk reverted to the Jaguars' practice squad Monday.
Funk was elevated ahead of Sunday's matchup versus the Patriots to provide extra depth as Travis Etienne was sidelined with a hamstring injury. However, Funk ended up not seeing any playing time, with Tank Bigsby and D'Ernest Johnson handling all the snaps at running back.

Jaguars' Jake Funk: Elevated ahead of Week 7
The Jaguars elevated Funk from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Funk was unable to make the Lions' 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but he managed to catch on with the Jaguars' practice squad Oct. 1. His elevation to the active roster gives the Jags some insurance in the backfield in case Travis Etienne (hamstring) cannot play Sunday against the Patriots. If Etienne is inactive, Funk would serve as Jacksonville's No. 3 running back behind Tank Bigsby and D'Ernest Johnson.

Jake Funk: Finds new opportunity
Funk signed with the Jaguars' practice squad Tuesday.
Funk spent training camp with the Lions but wasn't able to secure a 53-man roster spot. He's been a free agent since, but he'll now have a chance to make an impression in Jacksonville. In a corresponding move, the Jaguars cut fellow running back Jalen Jackson from the practice squad.

Jake Funk: Misses out on roster spot
Funk was waived by the Lions on Tuesday.
Funk got some early-season run in the NFL with the Colts last year but was used mostly on special teams. He was cut by Indianapolis in early October, then had stints on the Dolphins' and Ravens' practice squads. Funk struggled to find running room for the Lions during the preseason, gaining just 62 yards on 22 carries, and he also hauled in three of nine targets for 29 yards and a touchdown in the passing game.

Lions' Jake Funk: Staying with Detroit
Funk signed a reserve/future contract with the Lions on Tuesday, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.
Funk signed with Detroit's practice squad last week and will now have an opportunity to stick around in the organization heading into the 2024 season. The 26-year-old was most recently a member of Baltimore's practice squad before he was cut loose earlier this month when the Ravens added Dalvin Cook. Prior to his stint in Baltimore, Funk's lone NFL appearances this season came as a member of the Colts, with whom he appeared in four games and carried two times for 10 yards to go with a 12-yard reception.

Jake Funk: Gets look from Detroit
The Lions signed Funk to their practice squad Wednesday.
Funk was most recently a member of Baltimore's practice squad before he was cut loose earlier this month when the Ravens added Dalvin Cook. The Maryland product originally joined the NFL as a seventh-round selection of the Rams in 2021 and has also seen regular-season action with the Colts. Funk will join Detroit's practice unit as a replacement for fellow running back Jermar Jefferson (undisclosed), who was placed on the practice squad injured list.

Jake Funk: Gets let go
Funk was cut from the Ravens' practice squad Wednesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Funk was added to Baltimore's practice squad Dec. 19, when Keaton Mitchell was placed on injured reserve after suffering a ruptured ACL. However, after the addition of fellow running back Dalvin Cook, the Maryland product was chosen as the odd man out, and his time with the Ravens will come to an end.

Jake Funk: Joins Ravens' practice squad
The Ravens signed Funk to their practice squad Tuesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
With rookie Keaton Mitchell now out for the rest of the season with a ruptured ACL, Baltimore felt it necessary to add some depth at running back ahead of Week 16. Gus Edwards and Justice Hill are currently the only healthy halfbacks on the Ravens' active roster, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Funk get elevated from the practice squad as soon as Monday.

Jake Funk: Cut from practice squad
The Dolphins cut Funk from the practice squad Saturday.
Funk spent a little over a month in Miami after he was cut by the Colts earlier in the season. The 2021 seventh-round pick of the Rams is no longer needed with the Dolphins' backfield returning to full health. Funk has four career carries for 15 yards.

Jake Funk: Joins Dolphins' practice squad
Miami is signing Funk to the practice squad Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Funk, who was cut by the Colts on Saturday and cleared waivers Monday, now gets a chance to operate as an emergency reserve option for a Dolphins squad that may be without rookie sensation De'Von Achane (knee) for multiple weeks. He scored through the air while handling three total touches Week 1, but contributed exclusively on special teams from Weeks 2 to 4.

Jake Funk: Let go by Colts
Funk was waived by the Colts on Saturday.
The big news in the NFL on Saturday was Indianapolis signing Jonathan Taylor (ankle) to an extension and activating him from the reserve/PUP list, which necessitated a corresponding move to open a roster spot. Funk was the player the Colts chose to part ways with after the four-year vet was limited to special-teams work each of the past three weeks. Funk did get 12 offensive snaps against Jacksonville in Week 1, and he rushed twice for 10 yards while making one reception for 12 yards. He could end up on Indianapolis' practice squad if he clears waivers.

Colts' Jake Funk: Limited to special teams
Funk did not have a carry or target in Sunday's win at Houston. He didn't play a snap on offense and was limited to five snaps on special teams.
Funk had two carries and a reception in Week 1, but he moved to a deep reserve role with the return of Zack Moss from a broken arm. Funk may permanently move to the practice squad if Jonathan Taylor (ankle) returns from the PUP list in Week 5.

Jake Funk: Back to practice squad
Funk reverted to Indianapolis' practice squad Monday.
Funk is back on the practice squad after carrying the ball twice for 12 yards and catching his only target for 12 yards during Sunday's loss to the Jaguars, with most of those touches coming in the second half after Evan Hull (knee) got hurt. If Hull's out for an extended time, Funk could find himself back on the active roster.

Colts' Jake Funk: Joins 53-man roster
Indianapolis signed Funk to its active roster Tuesday ahead of Sunday's game at Houston.
The move comes in correspondence with placing fifth-round rookie Evan Hull (knee) on the injured reserve list. Presumed starter Zack Moss is dealing with a forearm injury, and change-of-pace man Deon Jackson has demonstrated a tendency to fumble the ball away, so Funk could very well be involved as early as Week 2.

Colts' Jake Funk: Gets work as third RB
Funk had two carries for 10 yards and one reception for 12 yards on his only target in Sunday's loss to Jacksonville.
Funk, who was elevated from the Colts' practice squad Saturday, got playing time in the second half with Evan Hull suffering a knee injury and Deon Jackson struggling (two fumbles). Funk could have a larger role in Week 2 against the Texans if Zack Moss (arm) remains sidelined, Hull can't return and Jackson's role is reduced due to his poor outing. Funk is more likely to return to a limited depth role, especially if Moss is active.
