The Eagles signed Blasingame to the practice squad Tuesday. Blasingame started the 2024 regular season on the Bears' active roster, but he appeared in just two games due to hand and knee injuries. He was released by Chicago on Oct. 25, but the 28-year-old full back has found a new home in Philadelphia, and he could be elevated to the active roster should the Eagles be in need of added run blocking out of the backfield.
The Bears released Blasingame on Friday. Blasingame has appeared in just two regular-season games this year and has not accrued a carry over those appearances. the 28-year-old running back will look to catch on with a team in need of a veteran back with special-teams experience.
Blasingame (hand/knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Rams and is expected to play. The veteran fullback missed last week's game against the Colts. Blazingame played a total of seven offensive snaps in Chicago's first two games of the season and saw another 14 on special teams.
Blasingame (hand/knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts. The Bears' lightly-used lead-blocking fullback has played just seven offensive snaps through two weeks and logged another 14 on special teams. He doesn't have a rushing attempt or target.
Head coach Matt Eberflus told reporters that Blasingame (knee) will miss Wednesday's practice, Chris Emma of 670TheScore.com reports. Going back to last week, Blasingame has now missed three consecutive practices, as well as the Bears' Week 2 loss, due to a knee injury. His practice participation Thursday and Friday will provide a better indication of his potential return in Week 3 when Chicago takes on Indianapolis.
Blasingame (hand/knee) did not practice Friday and is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans. Blasingame practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, but he's since missed back-to-back sessions. The 28-year-old fullback played 13 percent of offensive snaps and 48 percent of snaps on special teams Week 1. His next chance to take the field will come Week 3 versus the Colts.
The Bears signed Blasingame to their 53-man roster Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. The 28-year-old fullback has joined Chicago's active roster after failing to make the team's initial 53-man roster Tuesday. Blasingame has spent each of the last two seasons with the Bears, appearing in 32 regular-season games and playing primarily on special teams (348 offensive snaps and 422 special-teams snaps).
Blasingame was released by the Bears on Tuesday. Blasingame was released Tuesday after spending the past two seasons with Chicago. The veteran fullback handled just eight carries in two years with the Bears, as his main responsibilities came as a blocker. Blasingame will now enter his sixth season looking for a new landing spot.
Blasingame carried the football eight times last year, giving him 11 rushing attempts over his five-year career. In 2023, Blasingame handled all eight of his rushing attempts in a game in which the Bears suffered multiple injuries at running back. The fullback is a solid blocker, but there are no indications that the veteran will be in position to have any level of carries or targets in 2024.
