  • Jake Funk: Finds new opportunity

    Funk signed with the Jaguars' practice squad Tuesday.

    Funk spent training camp with the Lions but wasn't able to secure a 53-man roster spot. He's been a free agent since, but he'll now have a chance to make an impression in Jacksonville. In a corresponding move, the Jaguars cut fellow running back Jalen Jackson from the practice squad.

  • Jake Funk: Misses out on roster spot

    Funk was waived by the Lions on Tuesday.

    Funk got some early-season run in the NFL with the Colts last year but was used mostly on special teams. He was cut by Indianapolis in early October, then had stints on the Dolphins' and Ravens' practice squads. Funk struggled to find running room for the Lions during the preseason, gaining just 62 yards on 22 carries, and he also hauled in three of nine targets for 29 yards and a touchdown in the passing game.

  • Lions' Jake Funk: Staying with Detroit

    Funk signed a reserve/future contract with the Lions on Tuesday, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.

    Funk signed with Detroit's practice squad last week and will now have an opportunity to stick around in the organization heading into the 2024 season. The 26-year-old was most recently a member of Baltimore's practice squad before he was cut loose earlier this month when the Ravens added Dalvin Cook. Prior to his stint in Baltimore, Funk's lone NFL appearances this season came as a member of the Colts, with whom he appeared in four games and carried two times for 10 yards to go with a 12-yard reception.

  • Jake Funk: Gets look from Detroit

    The Lions signed Funk to their practice squad Wednesday.

    Funk was most recently a member of Baltimore's practice squad before he was cut loose earlier this month when the Ravens added Dalvin Cook. The Maryland product originally joined the NFL as a seventh-round selection of the Rams in 2021 and has also seen regular-season action with the Colts. Funk will join Detroit's practice unit as a replacement for fellow running back Jermar Jefferson (undisclosed), who was placed on the practice squad injured list.

  • Jake Funk: Gets let go

    Funk was cut from the Ravens' practice squad Wednesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

    Funk was added to Baltimore's practice squad Dec. 19, when Keaton Mitchell was placed on injured reserve after suffering a ruptured ACL. However, after the addition of fellow running back Dalvin Cook, the Maryland product was chosen as the odd man out, and his time with the Ravens will come to an end.

  • Jake Funk: Joins Ravens' practice squad

    The Ravens signed Funk to their practice squad Tuesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

    With rookie Keaton Mitchell now out for the rest of the season with a ruptured ACL, Baltimore felt it necessary to add some depth at running back ahead of Week 16. Gus Edwards and Justice Hill are currently the only healthy halfbacks on the Ravens' active roster, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Funk get elevated from the practice squad as soon as Monday.

  • Jake Funk: Cut from practice squad

    The Dolphins cut Funk from the practice squad Saturday.

    Funk spent a little over a month in Miami after he was cut by the Colts earlier in the season. The 2021 seventh-round pick of the Rams is no longer needed with the Dolphins' backfield returning to full health. Funk has four career carries for 15 yards.

  • Jake Funk: Joins Dolphins' practice squad

    Miami is signing Funk to the practice squad Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Funk, who was cut by the Colts on Saturday and cleared waivers Monday, now gets a chance to operate as an emergency reserve option for a Dolphins squad that may be without rookie sensation De'Von Achane (knee) for multiple weeks. He scored through the air while handling three total touches Week 1, but contributed exclusively on special teams from Weeks 2 to 4.

  • Jake Funk: Let go by Colts

    Funk was waived by the Colts on Saturday.

    The big news in the NFL on Saturday was Indianapolis signing Jonathan Taylor (ankle) to an extension and activating him from the reserve/PUP list, which necessitated a corresponding move to open a roster spot. Funk was the player the Colts chose to part ways with after the four-year vet was limited to special-teams work each of the past three weeks. Funk did get 12 offensive snaps against Jacksonville in Week 1, and he rushed twice for 10 yards while making one reception for 12 yards. He could end up on Indianapolis' practice squad if he clears waivers.

  • Colts' Jake Funk: Limited to special teams

    Funk did not have a carry or target in Sunday's win at Houston. He didn't play a snap on offense and was limited to five snaps on special teams.

    Funk had two carries and a reception in Week 1, but he moved to a deep reserve role with the return of Zack Moss from a broken arm. Funk may permanently move to the practice squad if Jonathan Taylor (ankle) returns from the PUP list in Week 5.

  • Jake Funk: Back to practice squad

    Funk reverted to Indianapolis' practice squad Monday.

    Funk is back on the practice squad after carrying the ball twice for 12 yards and catching his only target for 12 yards during Sunday's loss to the Jaguars, with most of those touches coming in the second half after Evan Hull (knee) got hurt. If Hull's out for an extended time, Funk could find himself back on the active roster.

  • Colts' Jake Funk: Joins 53-man roster

    Indianapolis signed Funk to its active roster Tuesday ahead of Sunday's game at Houston.

    The move comes in correspondence with placing fifth-round rookie Evan Hull (knee) on the injured reserve list. Presumed starter Zack Moss is dealing with a forearm injury, and change-of-pace man Deon Jackson has demonstrated a tendency to fumble the ball away, so Funk could very well be involved as early as Week 2.

  • Colts' Jake Funk: Gets work as third RB

    Funk had two carries for 10 yards and one reception for 12 yards on his only target in Sunday's loss to Jacksonville.

    Funk, who was elevated from the Colts' practice squad Saturday, got playing time in the second half with Evan Hull suffering a knee injury and Deon Jackson struggling (two fumbles). Funk could have a larger role in Week 2 against the Texans if Zack Moss (arm) remains sidelined, Hull can't return and Jackson's role is reduced due to his poor outing. Funk is more likely to return to a limited depth role, especially if Moss is active.

  • Colts' Jake Funk: Joins active roster

    Funk was elevated from the Colts' practice squad Saturday, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

    With Zack Moss (arm) downgraded to doubtful for Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars, Funk will provide some depth for an already shaky running back group. The third-year pro saw action in six contests last season, but exclusively on special teams.

  • Jake Funk: Joins Colts' practice squad

    Funk signed with the Colts' practice squad Wednesday.

    Funk is one of two running backs joining Indianapolis' practice squad, along with Jason Huntley. If Zack Moss (arm) ends up joining Jonathan Taylor (ankle) on the sidelines come Week 1, one of Funk or Huntley could be elevated for the regular-season opener against Jacksonville.

  • Jake Funk: Waived by Colts

    The Colts waived Funk on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Per Pelissero, the Colts hope to bring back Funk as a member of their practice squad if he clears waivers. The 2021 seventh-rounder spent time with both Indy and the Rams last season, but he didn't log a regular-season carry.

  • Colts' Jake Funk: Scores another preseason TD

    Funk had five carries for 18 yards, including a four-yard touchdown, in Saturday's preseason win over Chicago.

    Funk scored a rushing touchdown for a second consecutive preseason game, but he's still unlikely to make the Week 1 roster. However, with Jonathan Taylor and Zack Moss out due to injury, anything is possible.

  • Colts' Jake Funk: Nine touches in preseason opener

    Funk had seven carries for 13 yards, including a one-yard touchdown, and two receptions for 10 yards in Saturday's preseason loss at Buffalo.

    Funk was the third running back to get a carry in the game, which may say more about Indy's running back depth than his chances to make the team. With Jonathan Taylor and Zack Moss out due to injury, Funk may see a lot of work during the preseason. However, he may not make the final roster if Taylor returns to action.
