Cantrell (undisclosed) has reverted to Washington's injured reserve, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.
Analysis: Cantrell spent the 2020 season on both the Cardinals and Patriots' practice squads. Once the season concluded, he ultimatley signed a future contract with Washington. He is currently dealing with an undisclosed injury and was recently waived by the team. After going unclaimed he will now relocate to their IR.

Cantrell secured a future contract with Washington on Monday.
Analysis: While Cantrell is yet to make his first game appearance after leaving the Chargers, he had managed to spend time with the Cardinals and Patriots, and now will head to Washington. Hopefully the 26-year-old could serve as an emergency option in 2021.

Cantrell signed with Washington's practice squad Wednesday.
Analysis: New England decided to cut Cantrell from the practice squad Nov. 13, enabling Washington to acquire the 26-year-old as a developmental tight end option. The Texas Tech product has yet to make a regular-season appearance since joining the Chargers as a sixth-round draft choice in 2018. Cantrell's most prolific college season came during his 2017 senior campaign when he accumulated 816 receiving yards and seven touchdowns.

The Patriots have released Cantrell from their practice squad, Doug Kyed of NESN.com reports.
Analysis: This move comes days after Cantrell joined the team's practice squad. New England presumably did not see what they were looking for and made a quick decision to go in another direction. As a result, the 26-year-old will look for a new landing spot.

Cantrell signed to New England's practice squad Tuesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The 26-year-old spent training camp with the Cardinals before landing on the practice squad, and he's now receiving the same opportunity with the Patriots. Cantrell is potential depth at tight end with Dalton Keene (knee) and Devin Asiasi (undisclosed) recently moving to injured reserve.

Cantrell signed to the Cardinals' practice squad Sunday, Tadd Haislop of SportingNews.com reports.
Analysis: Cantrell spent the offseason in Arizona after having spent his first two injury-plagued seasons in the league with the Chargers. The Texas Tech product is still looking for an opportunity to make his NFL debut, and his chances for activation could be slim as an emergency option in 2020.

Cantrell (shoulder) signed a contract with the Cardinals on Monday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Cantrell's first two years in the league were derailed due to injuries -- a bone bruise and a shoulder issue, respectively -- but he'll now get a shot to continue his development in Arizona, where he'll reunite with coach Kliff Kingsbury. The Cardinals' decision to sign Cantrell is a hint that the team is confident in his health, but it's worth noting that the unique nature of this offseason allows clubs to announce signings prior to players officially passing a physical. The soon-to-be 26-year-old is still looking to make his NFL debut.

Cantrell (shoulder) cleared waivers and reverted to injured reserve Monday, Eric D. Williams of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Cantrel was waived by the Chargers on Sunday due to a shoulder injury. Now that he's passed through waivers, he'll likely remain on injured reserve for the remainder of the season unless the two sides reach an injury settlement.
Jul 29, 2019 7:13 PM EST
Cantrell was placed on the waived/injured list by the Chargers on Sunday.
Analysis: Cantrell had been dealing with an undisclosed injury heading into camp, that was later described as a shoulder injury. Cantrell had high hopes heading into the offseason, as he was believed to be in the running to secure a 53-man roster spot. If he goes unclaimed on waivers, he'll revert back to the Chargers' roster while being placed on injured reserve.
Jul 28, 2019 12:21 PM EST
Cantrell did not participate in Saturday's practice due to an undisclosed reason, Daniel Popper of the Athletic reports.
Analysis: Cantrell's absence isn't yet worrisome given the lack of clarity, but he's likely still on the roster bubble heading into August. Expect a timely return to practice for Cantrell, unless an underlying injury concern is present.
Jul 27, 2019 5:01 PM EST
Cantrell was not listed among the Chargers' projected 53-man roster according to ESPN's Eric D. Williams.
Analysis: Williams did cushion that statement with the caveat Cantrell needs more time to acclimate himself to a NFL offense, but it's a bit of a surprise to see the likes of Artavis Scott and Geremy Davis listed above the hulking 6-foot-4 wideout despite the obvious need opposite Mike Williams. Regardless, the Chargers likely won't keep more than six receivers on their game-day roster meaning one of the aforementioned trio may be forced onto the practice squad or outright released.
Jul 24, 2019 11:51 AM EST
Cantrell was listed as a player who will compete for snaps behind Keenan Allen, Mike Williams and Travis Benjamin, Ricky Henne of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: It shouldn't come as a surprise that Cantrell has garnered attention from the coaching staff, as the 2018 sixth-round pick was among the early standouts during his first training camp, only for a deep bone bruise to effectively end the rookie's inaugural campaign before it began. At 6-foot-3 and 226 pounds, Cantrell profiles as an effective option split out wide similar to that of Tyrell Williams before he jumped ship to the division-rival Raiders. Considering Keenan Allen ran 54 percent of his routes from the slot in 2018, Cantrell might also benefit as the lone man standing when it comes to effective outside weapons opposite Mike Williams, with both Travis Benjamin and Artavis Scott ideal inside targets. In any case, whoever eventually wins the No. 3 role will likely be the focal point of training camp and preseason, with a potentially intriguing target share in an up-tempo offense awaiting as the prize.

Cantrell has a path to significant playing time in 2019, Ricky Henne of the Chargers' official website reports.
Analysis: The Chargers haven't signed a replacement for Tyrell Williams (Raiders) and could still release Travis Benjamin to free up $5.25 million in cap space. Even if Benjamin does stick around, there's no guarantee he operates as the No. 3 receiver, with Cantrell, Geremy Davis and Artavis Scott all capable of pushing for the role. Cantrell was selected in the sixth round of the 2018 NFL Draft and spent most of his rookie season on the practice squad after suffering a bone bruise in his right knee during training camp. The 226-pound Texas Tech product finished top-three among wideouts at the 2018 combine in the three-cone drill, short shuttle, long shuttle, broad jump and long jump, but his 40-yard dash (4.59 seconds) and middling college production (1,873 receiving yards in 40 games) are far less encouraging.

The Chargers signed Cantrell (knee) from their practice squad Monday.
Analysis: Cantrell's spot on the 53-man roster comes following Los Angeles' decision to waive Joe Barksdale. The rookie sixth-round pick spent the beginning of the season on the Chargers' practice squad while nursing a bone bruise in his right knee. Cantrell could be worth monitoring in dynasty formats, but he's unlikely to earn a notable role in the Chargers' loaded receiver corps this season.
Dec 3, 2018 3:31 PM EST
Cantrell (knee) was waived by the Chargers on Saturday, Ricky Henne of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Cantrell was bothered by a bone bruise in his right knee during the preseason, but he'll join the Chargers' practice squad after failing to make the 53-man roster.
