John Lovett: Reaches injury settlement
Miami waived Lovett (undisclosed) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Saturday, per the NFL's transaction log.

The undrafted fullback out of Princeton missed all of 2022 with an undisclosed injury, but it's unclear if the two issues are related.

Lovett (knee) was waived by the Packers on Friday with a failed physical, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Lovett missed about half of the 2020 season due to a torn ACL suffered during Week 9. Typically lined up as a fullback, the hybrid will leave the team with three carries for six yards in his eight games. Lovett will aim to compete for a depth tight end role elsewhere for the upcoming year.

Packers' John Lovett: Suffers torn ACL
Lovett (knee) is done for the year due to a torn ACL, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Despite being listed as a tight end, Lovett usually lined up as a fullback for Green Bay. He never exceeded 11 offensive snaps in a game this season, but his absence in the run-blocking game and on special teams will nonetheless be felt by the Packers. With fellow TE/fullback hybrid Josiah Deguara (knee) also out for the year with a torn ACL, Green Bay could be motivated to explore the free agent market.

Packers' John Lovett: Gets three carries
Lovett had three carries for six yards in Thursday's 34-17 victory over the 49ers.
Lovett is listed as a tight end, but he played some fullback in the past, and the Packers let him take a few carries Thursday in garbage time. That wouldn't have happened had the Packers not been extremely light on running backs at that point, and he will remain mainly a means of creating confusion for the defense.

Packers' John Lovett: Limited again Thursday
Lovett (knee) was held to limited participation during Thursday's practice.
The Princeton standout has appeared in every game for the Packers thus far in 2020, though he's been limited to an average offensive workload of 5.7 snaps per contest. Lovett had no reported injury issues through almost two months of regular-season play, but he's been limited in practice for back-to-back days now. If he can't go Sunday afternoon against the Vikings, tight end depth would be depleted behind Robert Tonyan.
