  • 49ers' Malik Knowles: Lands in Bay Area

    Knowles signed a one-year contract with the 49ers on Tuesday.

    Knowles signed with Minnesota as an undrafted free agent in 2023 and has since spent time with the Packers organization, but he has yet to appear in an NFL game. The 49ers made room for him by placing fellow wideout Trent Taylor (undisclosed) on injured reserve.

  • Malik Knowles: Let go by Green Bay

    The Packers cut Knowles from the practice squad Saturday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Knowles was signed to the Packers' practice squad Oct. 16, but he has not been elevated to the active roster. The 24-year-old wide receiver out of Kansas State has not played in a regular-season game since being signed by the Vikings as an undrafted free agent in April of 2023.

  • Malik Knowles: Joins Packers' practice squad

    The Packers signed Knowles (undisclosed) to their practice squad Wednesday.

    The Kansas State product was waived by the Vikings in early September with an injury settlement, but signing with the Packers' practice squad suggests he's moved past the issue. Knowles has yet to appear in an NFL game, but he posted a 48-725-2 receiving line in his final collegiate season in 2022.

  • Malik Knowles: Reaches injury settlement

    Knowles (undisclosed) was waived after reaching an injury settlement with the Vikings on Tuesday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Knowles was placed on injured reserve by Minnesota on Wednesday after suffering an undisclosed injury during the preseason, but he'll now have a chance to return to action in 2024. The wide receiver will look to pass a physical and sign with a new team in the near future.

  • Vikings' Malik Knowles: Reverts to IR

    Knowles (undisclosed) reverted to injured reserve Wednesday, according to the NFL's official transaction log.

    The wide receiver was waived with an injury designation Tuesday. The severity of Knowles' injury remains unclear. Knowles will have to reach an injury settlement with the Vikings to play in 2024.

  • Malik Knowles: Waived with injury designation

    Minnesota waived Knowles (undisclosed) with an injury designation Tuesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Knowles, an undrafted free agent from Kansas State, is dealing with an injury of unknown severity. If the wideout clears waivers, he'll revert to injured reserve and remain there throughout the 2024 season unless he and the Vikings reach an injury settlement.

  • Vikings' Malik Knowles: Suits up Saturday

    Knowles caught his only target for a one-yard touchdown and returned one kickoff for 24 yards in Saturday's 27-12 preseason win over the Browns.

    The undrafted receiver out of Kansas State missed all of last season with an undisclosed injury, and he also began training camp dealing with an injury that kept him out of the Vikings' preseason opener. Knowles was in the lineup Saturday, however, and looked pretty healthy, leaping high to snag a one-yard corner fade from Jaren Hall at the back of the end zone on Minnesota's first possession of the second half. Knowles' ability to return kickoffs -- he had 1,254 return yards over his final two years at Kansas State -- could give him an edge on winning at least a spot on the practice squad given the NFL's changes to the kickoff rules this season.

  • Vikings' Malik Knowles: Still nursing injury

    Knowles (undisclosed) was spotted on the sidelines of Monday's camp session, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

    Knowles, an undrafted second-year wide receiver out of Kansas State, had been dealing with an undisclosed injury over the past week. It seems as if he could be nearing a return to the field, and once he does, Knowles is expected to compete for a depth spot in Minnesota's wide receiver corps.

  • Vikings' Malik Knowles: Reverts to reserve/NFI list

    Knowles (undisclosed) has reverted to the Vikings reserve/non-football injury list, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    After getting waived with a non-football injury designation Monday, Knowles ultimately went unclaimed. As a result, he will need to reach an injury settlement with Minnesota once his health is up to par in order to have the opportunity to play again this season. The undrafted free agent recorded 48 receptions for 725 yards and two touchdowns during his senior season at Kansas State.

  • Malik Knowles: Waived with injury designation

    The Vikings waived Knowles with a non-football injury designation Monday, Tyler Forness of USA Today reports.

    Knowles dealt with a PCL injury following the 2022 campaign, but Minnesota still signed him as an undrafted free agent just hours after the draft concluded. It's unclear if his current injury is related to the PCL issue, but the rookie out of Kansas State will have to prove he's healthy before landing another NFL opportunity.

  • Vikings' Malik Knowles: Joins Minnesota as UDFA

    Minnesota signed Knowles as an undrafted free agent Saturday.

    Knowles, Thayer Thomas and Cephus Johnson, who's being converted from quarterback to wide receiver, all joined Minnesota's crowded wideout group following the 2023 NFL Draft, but they'll likely be long shots to make the initial 53-man roster. During his final season at Kansas State, Knowles caught 48 passes for 725 yards and two touchdowns while rushing eight times for 164 yards and three additional scores. The 6-foot-3 wideout also has experience as a kick returner, totaling three return touchdowns over five collegiate campaigns.
