The Rams signed Pinkney off the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
Analysis: Pinkney was elevated from the practice squad for the third time this season ahead of the Week 17 loss to the Chargers. The 25-year-old has played just one of his 38 snaps on offense across three appearances, so it's likely he'll continue to serve as a core special-teamer while seeing extremely limited opportunities behind top tight ends Tyler Higbee and Brycen Hopkins in Week 18.

Analysis: Pinkney was elevated for the third time this season ahead of Los Angeles' Week 17 loss to the Chargers, and he played a minimal role in the contest with one offensive snap and nine special-teams snaps. Top tight end Tyler Higbee entered the game as questionable due to an elbow injury, but he was ultimately able to suit up, thus limiting Pinkney's usage. Pinkney has yet to catch a pass in two seasons as a pro.

Pinkney caught both of his targets for 28 yards in Saturday's 16-7 loss to the Bengals.
Analysis: The surprise release of Kendall Blanton potentially left a spot open after starter Tyler Higbee and backup Brycen Hopkins, and Pinkney filled in ably, turning one of his targets into a 25-yard gain in the first quarter. The Rams may choose to only keep two tight ends with multiple players that can fill in the blocking role, including converted tight end Jacob Harris, but Pinkney showed that he can fill the role if needed if the Rams keep three or more tight ends.

Analysis: Pinkey was in the starting lineup with both T.J. Hockenson (finger) and Brock Wright (COVID-19) sidelined, but he was not targeted with a pass even though Detroit sent a pair of them to offensive tackles. The Vanderbilt product will not be on the fantasy radar in Week 18 against Green Bay even if Wright is unable to gain medical clearance in time.

Analysis: The tight end was signed off of the Rams' practice squad Tuesday and will be part of the Lions' active roster in Week 17 against the Seahawks.
