The Jaguars cut Funk from the practice squad Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
It's the second time Funk has been let go from Jacksonville's practice squad this season. He was elevated from the Jaguars' practice squad to the active roster for Week 7 and 8, though he did not play a single snap across those two contests. Funk will look to catch on with a team in need of running back depth on the practice squad.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
As the coming season approaches, Funk will look to secure a depth spot in a Colts' backfield that's led by Jonathan Taylor and also includes Zack Moss, Deon Jackson and Evan Hull. The 5-10, 205-pounder was originally selected by the Rams in the seventh round (233rd overall) of the 2021 NFL Draft, and has yet to secure a steady role as a pro. In six games last season (five with the Rams and one with the Colts) the 25-year-old did not record a carry or catch, while logging the bulk of his snaps on special teams.
Even with Cam Akers missing the entire season and some of the postseason due to a torn Achilles, Funk's rookie campaign was largely forgettable, with Sony Michel and Darrell Henderson taking the bulk of the work, while Funk barely saw the field and missed a chunk of the regular season with a torn hamstring. Michel is gone, but Akers and Henderson are returning to battle for starting reps, while the Rams spent a fifth-round pick on Kyren Williams, meaning Funk may be grasping for touches again in 2022.
The Rams drafted Funk in the seventh round of the 2021 NFL Draft, 233rd overall, a context that had the Maryland product poised to battle for depth slotting in the team's backfield. Alas, Funk's chances to both make the team's 53-man roster, as well as contribute as a rookie, were boosted by the unfortunate Achilles' injury that befell top back Cam Akers in July. Also in the mix for touches in the Rams' post-Akers backfield are Darrell Henderson, Sony Michel and Xavier Jones.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Roster spot in jeopardy
RBLos Angeles Rams
August 25, 2021
Funk could lose his spot on the Rams' roster after the team acquired Sony Michel, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Funk was projected to serve as the team's third running back, behind both Darrell Henderson and Xavier Jones. That would have kept him firmly on the roster, though the team's recent acquisition of Michel means the team would have to keep four backs for both Jones and Funk to make the team. Funk has delivered 68 yards on 12 carries through two preseason games, while Jones has carried the ball 14 times for 50 yards.
