Lee participated in a work out with the Raiders on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
Analysis: The wide receiver showcased his talents for Las Vegas on Tuesday following an undisclosed injury that caused him to be waived by the 49ers in May. Lee hasn't played in an NFL game since 2019 when he appeared in six contests for the Jaguars, making three catches for 18 yards. He's not likely to be considered for a team's active roster but he may get a practice squad spot.

The 49ers waived Lee (undisclosed) with an injury designation Friday, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.
Analysis: Lee opted out of the 2020 season and was cut by the Patriots with a failed physical earlier this offseason, and it appears he's still not back to full health. The 29-year-old hasn't suited up for NFL action since 2019, when he was held to 18 receiving yards across six games with the Jaguars.
May 21, 2021 2:31 PM EST
Lee (undisclosed) was released by the 49ers on Friday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Lee spent only a week with the 49ers before being released in lieu of Bennie Fowler. The 29-year-old opted out of the 2020 campaign, and was eventually cut by the Patriots because of a failed physical earlier this offseason. The last time Lee was fantasy relevant goes all the way back to 2017 with the Jaguars where he recorded 56 catches for 702 yards and three touchdowns, so it is difficult to project what his current contributions to a team could be.

Lee (undisclosed) is signing with the 49ers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Lee opted out of the 2020 season and was subsequently cut by the Patriots due to a failed physical. San Francisco's decision to sign the veteran wide receiver suggests he's finally health again. Injuries have derailed Lee's career since 2018, but he suited up for 30 games with the Jaguars between 2016 and 2017, racking up 1,553 receiving yards over that two-year span.
May 17, 2021 9:49 AM EST
The Patriots released Lee (undisclosed) with a failed physical designation, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Lee opted out of the 2020 season, so he didn't actually see any action with New England, and he now appears to be dealing with an undisclosed injury. Now staring down his age-30 campaign, Lee will look to return to full health before catching on with another club.
Mar 18, 2021 2:24 PM EST
The Patriots will release Lee, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports.
Analysis: Lee, who opted out of the 2020 season, last saw NFL action with the Jaguars in 2019. The 2014 second-rounder hasn't produced much since the 2017 campaign, but if he can avoid injury, the 29-year-old should be able to catch on elsewhere as a depth option.
Mar 18, 2021 8:44 AM EST
Lee, who opted out of the 2020 NFL season, is "trending toward playing" in 2021, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports.
Analysis: The 2014 second-rounder -- who previously saw regular-season action in five campaigns with the Jaguars -- will now be further removed from the torn ACL that cost him the 2018 season and a shoulder injury that shortened his 2019 effort. Assuming he does return to the Patriots, the 29-year-old will have an opportunity to carve out a role in a wide receiver corps that can use some upgrades. For that reason, it's possible that Lee could emerge as a deep fantasy sleeper in an offense that figures to see its share of offseason personnel changes.
Jan 19, 2021 2:42 PM EST
Lee will opt out of the 2020 season, Boston Globe writer Jim McBride reports.
Analysis: Signed to a one-year, $910,000 deal, Lee didn't have much financial incentive in the face of the escalated risk brought on by the COVID pandemic. He was in position to bet on himself for 2021 free agency while offering the Patriots reps both in the slot and outside, but the former USC star will wait until the 2021 season to make his attempted comeback from multiple years of poor injury luck. His absence from the roster improves the odds of fringe receiver prospects like Will Hastings and Jeff Thomas earning a final roster spot.
Aug 1, 2020 6:28 AM EST
Lee is signing a one-year contract with New England, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: It's a pretty good landing spot for Lee, who was released by the Jaguars on Monday after playing only six games the past two seasons. The 2014 second-round pick was a late bloomer in Jacksonville, eventually emerging as a useful possession receiver in 2016 and 2017. He cashed in with a four-year, $34 million contract but then suffered an ACL tear during the 2018 preseason and entered 2019 at No. 4 on the Jags' WR depth chart. A shoulder injury forced Lee to injured reserve in late October, setting the stage for his offseason release. He'll now head to New England, where the wideout position appears shaky beyond top dog Julian Edelman.
Apr 23, 2020 8:06 AM EST
The Jaguars released Lee (shoulder) on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Lee has been productive at times in his NFL career, combining for 119 catches, 1,553 yards and six touchdowns on 201 targets in 30 regular-season games between 2016 and 2017. Otherwise, he's made just 29 other appearances since he was selected by Jacksonville in the second round of the 2014 draft, missing the entire 2018 campaign due to a torn ACL and being limited to six outings last year due to a variety of concerns. Rapoport noted Lee is "fully healthy and completely cleared medically," but the 28-year-old wide receiver still will need to pass a physical before officially finding a new employer.
Apr 20, 2020 12:00 PM EST
Lee (shoulder) likely will be released this offseason for salary cap reasons, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official website reports.
Analysis: Lee never had much chance to make good on his four-year, $34 contract, suffering an ACL tear in August 2018 and then dealing with knee, foot and shoulder injuries in 2019. The 28-year-old wide receiver won't be back in Jacksonville for 2020 unless he accepts a sizable pay cut.
Feb 13, 2020 7:31 AM EST
Lee (shoulder) ended the season on injured reserve and caught three passes for 18 yards in six games this season.
Analysis: The 28-year-old was limited in training camp as he continued his recovery from a torn ACL last year, and he was never able to get on track before landing on IR with the shoulder injury in late October. Lee inked a four-year, $34 million deal with the Jaguars in March 2018, but he's barely seen the field since signing the contract. Lee seems a likely candidate to be released with the Jaguars hurting for cap space, since he would carry a dead cap hit of only $3.5 million in 2020 and $1.75 million in 2021.
Jan 22, 2020 3:25 PM EST
Lee (ankle) was ruled out for Sunday's game at Cincinnati.
Analysis: Lee sustained a "mild to moderate" ankle sprain during last Sunday's loss to the Saints and will miss at least one game due to the injury. The 27-year-old has only two catches for 10 yards in five games while working as the Jaguars. No. 4 wide receiver. D.J. Chark, Chris Conley and Dede Westbrook (shoulder) -- who is listed as questionable -- should remain the team's top wideouts against the Bengals. Keelan Cole is next up on the depth chart should Westbrook be unable to play.
Oct 18, 2019 11:09 AM EST
Lee (ankle) isn't expected to practice Thursday, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Analysis: With back-to-back absences at practice to open Week 7, Lee looks unlikely to be available for Sunday's game in Cincinnati. Dede Westbrook (shoulder) is also sitting out Thursday's practice and may be at risk of sitting this weekend, potentially leaving the Jaguars with only D.J. Chark, Chris Conley, Keelan Cole and C.J. Board as their lone healthy receivers.
Oct 17, 2019 8:18 AM EST
Lee (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Lee is considered week-to-week due to a sprained ankle, and he appears to be trending towards missing Sunday's tilt against the Bengals. Of course, considering that Lee has logged just two catches for 10 yards through five games this season, his absence doesn't carry much of a fantasy impact.
Oct 16, 2019 3:20 PM EST
Lee is viewed as week-to-week with a sprained ankle, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Though the wideout's injury was described "minor to moderate," it seems likely that he'll miss some time. With just two catches for 10 yards in five games to date, however, Lee is off the fantasy radar. For the time being, Dede Westbrook, DJ Chark and Chris Conley head the Jaguars' wideout corps.
Oct 14, 2019 11:00 AM EST
Lee (right foot) was wearing a walking boot after Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Saints, Hays Carlyon of 1010 AM WJXL reports,
Analysis: On the plus side, the report notes that the wideout "was walking around fine (with the boot), not needing crutches and seemed upbeat." It remains to be seen if Lee will be able to play next weekend, but with just two catches for 10 yards to date, he's off the fantasy radar.
Oct 13, 2019 1:49 PM EST
Lee was forced out of Sunday's game against the Saints with a right foot injury, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Prior to his exit from the contest, Lee did not have a catch and carried once for one yard, while Dede Westbrook and DJ Chark served as the Jaguars' primary wide receiver targets.
Oct 13, 2019 12:14 PM EST
Lee caught one of two targets for five yards in Sunday's loss to the Panthers.
Analysis: The 27-year-old was once again an afterthought in the Jaguars' offense as he played only 19 offensive snaps. Lee has only two catches for 10 yards through four games after missing last season from a torn ACL.
Oct 7, 2019 7:43 PM EST
Lee caught his lone target for five yards in Sunday's win over the Broncos.
Analysis: The 27-year-old played only 25 offensive snaps Sunday and appears firmly entrenched as the team's No. 4 wide receiver behind Dede Westbrook, D.J. Chark and Chris Conley. The catch was Lee's first of the season as he saw his highest snap count through three games.
