Analysis: Michel was waived by the Commanders ahead of Tuesday's 53-man roster deadline but has returned to the team on a practice squad deal. The 29-year-old wideout caught four of 12 targets for 58 yards across three preseason games but hasn't seen regular season action since 2020.

Waived by Washington

The Commanders waived Michel on Tuesday, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Michel caught four of 12 targets for 58 yards across three preseason games, but he finds himself among a wave of cuts ahead of Tuesday's 53-man roster deadline. The 29-year-old wideout made his NFL debut in 2020 with Carolina and went without a catch across two appearances.

Signs with Washington

Michel signed a reserve/future contract with Washington on Monday.

Analysis: Michel was waived by the Eagles at roster cutdowns in August and will now receive an opportunity in Washington. He made his NFL debut for Carolina in 2020 and went catch-less in two games.

Waived by Eagles

Michel was waived by the Eagles on Sunday, Geoff Mosher of 97.5 The Fanatic Philadelphia reports.

Analysis: Michel was claimed off waivers by the Eagles on Aug. 10 and brought in three of his four targets for 31 yards in Friday's preseason game against the Jets. The 28-year-old appeared in two games with the Panthers last year and played mostly on special teams.

Heading to Philly

Michel signed a contract with the Eagles on Tuesday.

Analysis: Michel was let go by the Panthers on Monday, and it didn't take long for him to latch on with a new team. The 28-year-old appeared in two games for Carolina last season and saw most of his action on special teams.

Time up in Carolina

The Panthers cut Michel on Monday, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.

Analysis: Michel was cut to make room for Stephen Sullivan to come off the reserve/COVID-19 list. The 27-year-old wide receiver will look to latch on elsewhere during training camp.

Reaches future agreement

The Panthers signed Michel to a reserve/future contract Monday, Will Bryan of the team's official site reports.

Analysis: An undrafted free agent in 2016, Michel finally made his NFL debut in 2020, suiting up in two games for the Panthers. The 27-year-old has an uphill climb to secure a roster spot in 2021.

Demoted to practice squad

Michel reverted to the Panthers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Analysis: Michel was unable to make any contributions on the stat sheet over 11 total snaps (three offensive, eight special teams) during Sunday's loss to the Broncos. The 27-year-old's game appearances have come few and far between in his first active NFL season, as he's only suited up Weeks 8 and 14 while going without a reception or special-teams tackle in either contest.

Elevated to active roster

Michel has been elevated to the Panthers' active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos, Will Bryan of the team's official website reports.

Analysis: While Michel has not officially been signed by the team, he is being used as a standard COVID-10 practice squad elevation. If needed, he could potentially be called upon for receiving depth and special teams help.

Reverts to practice squad

Michel reverted to the Panthers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Analysis: Michel was elevated to the 53-man roster heading into the Panthers' Week 9 road trip to Arrowhead Stadium, though he ultimately did not suit up for the contest. The 27-year-old has one appearance to his name midway through the regular season, as he fielded seven special-teams snaps during a Week 8 loss to Atlanta.

Nov 9, 2020 5:51 PM EST


Activated to roster

Michel was activated from the practice squad Saturday, Joe Person of The Athletic Reports.

Analysis: Michel made his season last week although he played exclusively on special teams. Expect him to play another special teams role for the Panthers' next game against the Chiefs.

Nov 7, 2020 12:06 PM EST


Shifts back to practice squad

MIchel reverted to the Falcons' practice squad Friday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Analysis: Michel elevated to the active roster for Thursday's win over the Panthers, and he logged seven snaps on special teams in his NFL debut. Calvin Ridley's foot injury could open cause Michel to get called up again next week, but that remains to be seen.

Oct 30, 2020 8:01 PM EST


Activated for Thursday night

Michel has been activated from the practice squad for Thursday night's matchup against the Falcons, Myles Simmons of the Panthers' official site reports.

Analysis: The 27-year-old wideout was called up to the active roster for a Week 7 tilt against the Saints, but he ultimately did not see the field in a 27-24 defeat. Michel is yet to suit up in a regular-season game since seeing his first NFL opportunity with the Eagles' practice squad last December. He may get into the game Thursday night if an injury occurs above him on the WR depth chart, or if assistance is required on special teams.

Oct 29, 2020 3:13 PM EST


Returns to practice squad

Michel reverted to the Panthers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Analysis: The 27-year-old was elevated from the practice squad for Sunday's loss to the Saints, but he didn't end up active for the contest. Michel has yet to appear in an NFL game since going undrafted out of Massachusetts in 2016.

Oct 26, 2020 4:03 PM EST


Elevates to 53-man roster

The Panthers elevated Michel to their active roster from the practice squad Sunday, Myles Simmons of the team's official site reports.

Analysis: With the Panthers dealing with some players on the COVID-19 list in Week 7, Michel is part of the COIVD-19 replacements on the active roster. Michel has resided on the team's practice squad since failing to make the roster this offseason, and he's never seen action in a regular season NFL game.

Oct 25, 2020 7:07 AM EST


Falls to waivers

The Panthers waived Michel on Saturday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Michel was a long shot to make the roster, as the 27-year-old has yet to play an NFL snap since entering the league in 2016.

Sep 6, 2020 9:15 AM EST


Secures pact with Panthers

MIchel signed with the Panthers on Sunday, Myles Simmons of the team's official site reports.

Analysis: Simmons hasn't played an NFL snap since entering the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2016, so he's a longshot to make the roster in Carolina.

Aug 16, 2020 10:03 AM EST


Done with Eagles

The Eagles waived Michel on Thursday.

Analysis: Michel inked a reserve/future contract with the Eagles in January, but the addition of receivers from the 2020 NFL Draft class, headlined by first-round pick Jalen Reagor, made his spot on the roster expendable. The 26-year-old has yet to make his NFL debut since going undrafted out of Massachusetts in 2018.

Apr 30, 2020 3:44 PM EST


Agrees on terms with Philly

Michel signed a reserve/future contract with the Eagles on Monday.

Analysis: Michel entered the league in 2016 as an undrafted free agent but hasn't played a regular-season snap. The 26-year-old will compete for a depth role with the Eagles in 2020.

Jan 6, 2020 1:23 PM EST


Lands on Eagles' practice squad

The Eagles signed Michel to the practice squad Thursday.

Analysis: Michel spent time with Philadelphia in the offseason, and he'll now work to impress on the team's practice squad. The Massachusetts product could be a candidate to bump to the active roster later in the season if a special-teams role becomes available.
