Elevated ahead of Week 17

Travis was elevated to the active roster from the practice squad Saturday, Benjamin Raven of MLive.com reports.

Analysis: Travis saw action in three games earlier in the year for the Cardinals and joined the Browns' practice squad for a few weeks before ending up in Detroit. He'll provide depth at tight end against the Seahawks on Sunday with Brock Wright on the COVID list.

Added to Lions' practice squad

Travis was signed to the Lions' practice squad Tuesday.

Analysis: Travis was released by the Browns on Friday, but he quickly found a new team in the Lions. The 28-year-old may have an opportunity to be elevated to the active roster ahead of the team's Week 17 game against the Seahawks, as the newly acquired Jared Pinkney is the only available tight end on the roster at the moment.

Released after activation

Travis (illness) was restored from the practice squad COVID-19 list and then released by the Browns on Friday, Howard Balzer of SI.com reports.

Analysis: Travis was placed on the practice squad COVID-19 list Dec. 14 after signing with the Browns one week earlier. He was filling in for a number of unavailable tight ends for the team, though with Austin Hooper, David Njoku and Harrison Bryant all cleared to return, the team's need for the depth Travis provided was minimal.

Tests positive for COVID-19

Travis was placed on the Browns' practice squad reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday.

Analysis: Travis was one of eight players on the Browns to test positive for COVID, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Travis was just signed to the Browns' practice squad on Dec. 7 after previously appearing in three games for the Cardinals this season. With Austin Hooper also placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, David Njoku already on it and Harrison Bryant nursing an ankle injury, the Browns may be dangerously thin at tight end Saturday when they host the Raiders.

Joins Cleveland's practice squad

The Browns signed Travis to their practice squad Tuesday.

Analysis: Travis has appeared in 28 career NFL games since joining the league in 2016. With David Njoku and Stephen Carlson both on the COVID-19 list and Harrison Bryant (ankle) doubtful for Week 14, the Browns are adding as much insurance to the tight end spot as they can. In a corresponding move, Cleveland signed Miller Forristall to their active roster from its practice squad.

Elevated to active roster

Oct 11, 2021 8:54 PM EST


Elevated by Cardinals

Travis was elevated from the Cardinals' practice squad Saturday.

Analysis: Travis will be available as a backup tight end for Sunday's game against the 49ers since Maxx Williams (shoulder) is questionable and Darrell Daniels (illness) has been ruled out. The 28-year-old has appeared in just four regular-season games across the last two years.

Oct 9, 2021 2:22 PM EST


Cut by Arizona
