Byron Pringle Reunites With Eric Bieniemy In Washington
Former Kansas City Chiefs and Chicago Bears wide receiver Byron Pringle has agreed to a one-year deal to join the Washington Commanders just before training camp is set to begin. Pringle enjoyed his best season in 2021, catching 42 passes for 568 yards and five touchdowns with Eric Bieniemy as offensive coordinator. The previous relationship and familiarity won't hurt, but Terry McLaurin, Curtis Samuel, and Jahan Dotson will remain firmly ahead of him on the wide receiver depth chart. Pringle won't be on the fantasy radar unless a handful of injuries decimate Washington's wide receiver room.
Chicago Bears wide receiver Byron Pringle (calf) has been activated off the injured reserve on Saturday. The 29-year-old last played in Week 3 and has been on the IR with a calf injury since then. The return of Pringle does give the Bears a slight boost on offense. However, the arrival of Chase Claypool will likely take away most of the value Pringle would've had in this offense. The Bears have a crowded wide receiver corps and don't pass the ball often to warrant rostering Pringle in any fantasy formats right now.
Chicago Bears wide receiver Byron Pringle (calf) was designated to return from injured reserve on Wednesday. The Bears will have 21 days to activate Pringle to the main roster. He had been sidelined since Week 3 with a calf injury. The veteran didn't do much in the Bears' first three games, catching just two passes for 33 yards. Pringle would add depth to the Bears' wide receiver group and could challenge Equanimeous St. Brown for Chicago's WR2 spot. Fantasy managers in deep-league formats can stash Pringle for now, but he should be left on the waiver wire in most league formats.
The Chicago Bears placed wide receiver Byron Pringle (calf) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday and signed linebacker Joe Thomas off their practice squad to the active roster in a corresponding move. Pringle suffered the injury in the Week 3 win over the Houston Texans, and he'll now have to miss at least the next four games. Through his first three games with the Bears, the 28-year-old caught just two of his three targets for 33 yards and no touchdowns. Darnell Mooney and Equanimeous St. Brown have been the team's top two wideouts, and Dante Pettis should step into the No. 3 role with Pringle injured. Rookie Velus Jones Jr. (hamstring) has yet to make his NFL debut in 2022 due to a hamstring injury.
Chicago Bears wide receiver Byron Pringle (calf) went to the locker room with trainers and has been declared doubtful to return in Week 3. The Bears are now expected to be without both Pringle and running back David Montgomery (ankle, knee) for the remainder of the game. Khalil Herbert, Darnell Mooney, Equanimeous St. Brown, and Cole Kmet should continue to lead the offense in the meantime.
Chicago Bears wide receiver Byron Pringle (undisclosed) exited Sunday's game against the Houston Texans. He was seen walking to the locker room with trainers. The 28-year-old tallied one catch for 11 yards before exiting. Darnell Mooney, Equanimeous St. Brown, and Cole Kmet should continue to lead the Bears' passing game while Pringle is sidelined.
Chicago Bears wide receiver Byron Pringle (quadriceps) took part in practice on Monday for the first time in a long time. It was the first time that Pringle had practiced with the team since he suffered his quad injury on Aug. 6. The fact that he's practicing already this week is a good sign that he'll be able to play in Week 1 against the San Francisco 49ers this Sunday, but we won't know for sure until the Bears release their official injury reports later this week. When fully healthy, the 28-year-old should open the year as the team's No. 2 receiver behind Darnell Mooney. Tight end Cole Kmet might end up being quarterback Justin Fields' No. 2 target in this passing attack, though, so Pringle won't be a viable flex option in 12-team leagues to begin the season.
Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus said that wide receiver Byron Pringle (quadriceps) will miss some time with a quadriceps injury, but there is no specific timetable for his return. Cornerback Kyler Gordon and rookie receiver Velus Jones Jr. are also day-to-day with undisclosed injuries. It hasn't been a good summer for Pringle with his new team, as he was also recently arrested in a traffic incident and charged with reckless driving and driving with a suspended license. An already thin Bears receivers group just got thinner with Pringle's injury. Darnell Mooney is the unquestioned No. 1 wideout, and Pringle's injury will give Equanimeous St. Brown, Jones and N'Keal Harry more repetitions in training camp.
Chicago Bears wide receiver Byron Pringle was arrested on Saturday. The 28-year-old was observed doing doughnuts in his 2016 Dodge Challenger and was subsequently pulled over by the Florida Highway Patrol. He was charged with reckless driving and driving on a suspended license. Even worse, Pringle was reportedly confrontational with law enforcement officers during the stop, and he also had his child inside the vehicle. In March, the former Kansas State Wildcat signed a one-year deal with the Bears. He wasn't a consistent target for quarterback Patrick Mahomes throughout his three seasons in Kansas City. However, Pringle had his best year in 2021, where he finished with 42 catches for 568 yards and five touchdowns. He is expected to have a more prominent role in his new home, although the latest incident may cause him to miss some time during the 2022-23 campaign. There's also a chance Chicago may part ways with him, although a suspension is more realistic at this point.
Wide receiver Byron Pringle has agreed to a one-year deal with the Bears. The wideout spent his inaugural three seasons in Kansas City, where he racked up 67 receptions for 898 yards and seven touchdowns during that span. Unquestionably, Pringle won't have as much competition for targets in Chicago. However, the 28-year-old will no longer have the luxury of having Patrick Mahomesas his signal-caller, a player who has proven to be one of the best at the position over the years. Yet, if Justin Fields can progress in his development, Pringle has the potential to have his best season to date, although managers aren't encouraged to reach for him in fantasy drafts for the 2022-23 campaign.
