  • Saints' Dante Pettis: Signed to active roster by NOLA

    The Saints signed Pettis from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

    Pettis had been elevated from the Saints' practice squad for the last three games, and now he's set to be on the active roster for the rest of the 2024 regular season. Across his three outings, Pettis logged three catches (on four targets) for 22 yards while adding 26 kick return yards and 54 punt return yards.

  • Saints' Dante Pettis: Moves back to practice squad

    Pettis reverted to the Saints' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Pettis has received some run in New Orleans' offense the last three games due to the banged-up nature of the receiving corps, recording exactly one catch on each occasion. Overall, his 3-22-0 line on four targets during that span isn't much to write home about, and his snap share (20 percent) Sunday against the Rams was behind all of Marquez Valdes-Scantling (76), Kevin Austin (61) and Cedrick Wilson (33). Because the Saints have used the maximum allotment of three elevations on Pettis, he'll need to be signed to the active roster in order to suit up this coming Sunday at the Giants.

  • Saints' Dante Pettis: Elevated by Saints for Week 13

    New Orleans elevated Pettis from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Pettis will be elevated for a third straight game. In his last two outings, Pettis has caught two passes on as many targets for 17 yards while adding 26 kick return yards and 54 punt return yards. He'll serve as the Saints' primary returner Sunday against the Rams and will provide depth at wide receiver behind Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Cedrick Wilson and fellow practice squad wideout Kevin Austin.

  • Saints' Dante Pettis: Reverts to practice squad

    Pettis reverted to the Saints' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Pettis was elevated to the Saints' active roster for the second consecutive week ahead of Sunday's win over the Browns, catching his lone target for nine yards across seven offensive snaps. The Washington product also played five special-teams snaps and returned two punts for 54 yards, including a 53-yard return that was initially ruled an 88-yard touchdown before being called back for stepping out of bounds. He's expected to rejoin the Saints' active roster following the team's Week 12 bye.

He played 11 snaps (seven on offense, four on special teams) in Week 10 against the Falcons, finishing with one catch for eight yards while adding 26 kickoff return yards. Pettis will likely reprise his role as the Saints' primary kickoff returner against the Browns on Sunday.

  • Saints' Dante Pettis: Elevated from practice squad

    New Orleans elevated Pettis from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Pettis signed with the Saints' practice squad Oct. 15 after being let go with an injury settlement by the Bears on Sept. 5. He'll provide the Saints some depth at wide receiver against the Falcons on Sunday, as Chris Olave (concussion) is on injured reserve and Cedrick Wilson (shoulder) has been ruled out. Pettis played in all 17 regular-season games with Chicago in 2023 and finished with 19 catches (on 41 targets) for 245 yards and three touchdowns.

  • Dante Pettis: Joins Saints' practice squad

    New Orleans signed Pettis (undisclosed) to its practice squad Tuesday.

    Pettis was cut from the Bears' injured reserve list in early September, but with the Saints dealing with multiple injuries to an already-thin group of wide receivers, it now looks like he could suit up for his 2024 debut as soon as Thursday. Specifically, his experience returning punts could prove helpful with Rashid Shaheed's (knee) status for Week 7 up in the air.

  • Dante Pettis: Works out with Cowboys

    The Cowboys hosted Pettis (undisclosed) for a workout Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Pettis was let go with an injury settlement by the Bears on Sept. 5 due to an undisclosed issue. He appears to be healthy and the 28-year-old wideout is attempting to catch on with an NFL roster. He last saw regular-season action in 2022 with the Bears, during which he registered 19 catches (on 41 targets) for 245 yards and three touchdowns across 17 games.

  • Dante Pettis: Let go with injury settlement

    The Bears released Pettis (undisclosed) from injured reserve Thursday with an injury settlement, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    The injury settlement allows Pettis to sign with another team once he is recovered from whatever is ailing him. The 2018 second-round pick missed all of last season due to a back injury he sustained during training camp. Pettis appeared in all 17 regular-season games for the Bears in 2022, and he finished with 19 catches (on 41 targets) for 245 yards and three touchdowns.

  • Bears' Dante Pettis: Placed on IR

    The Bears placed Pettis on injured reserve Tuesday with an undisclosed injury, Larry Mayer of the team's official site reports.

    With no designation to return, the only way Pettis can play this season is if he reaches an injury settlement and gets released by the Bears. He scored a pair of touchdowns during the preseason but isn't likely to be more than a fifth or sixth wideout even if he gets healthy at some point soon.

  • Bears' Dante Pettis: Catches two TDs

    Pettis caught each of his three targets for 53 yards and two touchdowns in a 27-3 preseason win over the Bengals on Saturday.

    A 2018 second-round pick, Pettis was the Bears' No. 3 receiver as recently as 2022 but didn't play in 2023 after suffering a back injury last August. He's now battling for one of the final roster spots, having caught each of his three passes Saturday in the third quarter after starting QB Caleb Williams was pulled from the game.

  • Bears' Dante Pettis: Likely battling for rotational work

    After missing the 2023 season with a back injury, Pettis is likely battling for a depth role in the Chicago offense.

    In 2022 with the Bears, Pettis posted 245 receiving yards and three touchdowns, which represented his best season since 2018. Unlike previous Bears teams, Chicago now has a strong trio of wide receivers in DJ Moore, Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze. As a result, Pettis will likely be battling for a roster spot against Tyler Scott, Velus Jones, DeAndre Carter and others.

  • Bears' Dante Pettis: Back with Chicago

    The Bears signed Pettis (undisclosed) to a one-year deal Friday, Larry Mayer of the team's official site reports.

    Pettis was dealing with an undisclosed injury back in September of 2023, but it now seems as if he's moved past the issue. The 2018 second-round pick has spent time with the 49ers, Giants and Bears throughout his five-year NFL career, and he's agreed to terms to return to Chicago. Pettis' most recent in-game action came back in 2022 with the Bears, appearing in 17 games and catching 19 of his 41 targets for 245 yards and three touchdowns. The 28-year-old wideout also returned 18 punts for 163 yards in 2022, and he'll likely be competing to make Chicago's 53-man roster as a return man this offseason.

  • Dante Pettis: Released from injured reserve

    The Bears released Pettis (undisclosed) from injured reserve with a settlement Wednesday, Aaron Wilson KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Pettis was slated to miss the entire 2023 season but is now eligible to sign and play elsewhere. The 2018 second-round pick will look for another opportunity after catching 19 of 41 targets for 245 yards and three touchdowns in 17 games for Chicago in 2022.

  • Bears' Dante Pettis: Lands on IR

    The Bears placed Pettis (undisclosed) on injured reserve Friday, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

    The Bears have not provided any clarity on the nature of Pettis' injury. The 27-year-old pass catcher is now in line to spend the remainder of the 2023 season on the sideline. He recorded 19 receptions on 41 targets for 245 yards and three touchdowns for Chicago in 2022.

  • Bears' Dante Pettis: Ready to return

    Pettis (undisclosed) was activated from the active/non-football injury list Wednesday.

    Pettis was able to pass a physical and get cleared to compete after being sidelined since the start of training camp. The 27-year-old should be in the mix to earn a depth role in the team's receiving corps; however, with the addition of DJ Moore and Tyler Scott during the offseason, Pettis may find it more difficult to make the Bears' roster this season.

  • Bears' Dante Pettis: Placed on NFI list

    The Bears placed Pettis (undisclosed) on the active/non-football injury list Tuesday.

    Pettis will start training camp on the sideline due to an undisclosed injury. The 2018 second-round pick played in all 17 games for the Bears last season, catching 19 of 41 targets for 245 yards and three touchdowns, but he could find himself competing for a roster spot once healthy due to the additions of DJ Moore and Tyler Scott.

  • Bears' Dante Pettis: Expected to battle for roster spot

    Pettis may battle for a roster spot with Equanimeous St. Brown and Velus Jones, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

    Pettis recorded 245 yards and three touchdowns and also worked as a punt returner in his first year with the Bears. Since he's not the physical blocker that St. Brown is, it may be difficult for Pettis to surpass him on the depth chart. It seems likely he'll be in a direct battle with Jones. Of the two, Pettis has more experience, but Jones could show improvement in his second year and has a rare size-speed combination. This camp battle could last until the latter days of August.

  • Bears' Dante Pettis: Back with Bears on one-year deal

    Chicago re-signed Pettis to a one-year contract Monday, Larry Mayer of the team's official site reports.

    Pettis logged seven starts while appearing in all 17 of the Bears' games last season, recording a 19-245-3 receiving line while also turning two carries into 37 yards and contributing as a punt returner. The arrival of new top wideout DJ Moore could mean Pettis will receive less opportunities to connect with Justin Fields in the 2023 campaign, but he still projects to play a key depth role in Chicago's pass-catching corps.
