News

  • Disappoints in 2022

    Pringle caught one pass for five yards in the Bears' 29-13 loss to the Vikings in Week 18, and ended the season with 10 receptions, 135 yards and two touchdowns over 11 games played.

    Analysis: Injuries limited Pringle to 11 games, and he never caught more than two passes or gained 40 yards in a game. During the preseason, he missed significant time due to injury, and he certainly missed out on building chemistry with Justin Fields. It also didn't help that Pringle was part of a low-volume passing attack that frequently rotated its wide receivers. The only year of his four-year career in which he surpassed 170 yards was when he caught 42 passes for 568 yards and two touchdowns in 2021…read more

  • Leads team in targets

    Pringle failed to catch any of his four targets in the Bears' 41-10 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

    Analysis: Pringle had more than two targets for the first time in the nine games he's played this season, though this was the first time in three games he hasn't recorded at least 34 yards. He'll be considered a low-upside fantasy option in Week 18 against the Vikings.

  • Highest yardage total of season

    Pringle caught both of his targets for 34 yards in the Bears' 35-13 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

    Analysis: Pringle has five catches for 63 yards over his last five games, and he hasn't been targeted more than twice in any game this season. His lack of usage will make him a risky fantasy option in Week 17 against the Lions.

  • Snags late TD in loss

    Pringle caught both of his targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-20 loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: Pringle's 35-yard touchdown with 2:43 left in the fourth quarter accounted for the vast majority of his production. He has two touchdowns this season and has yet to catch more than two passes in a game. Pringle will likely continue to see limited volume in Chicago's run-heavy offense against the Bills in Week 16.

  • Scores first touchdown for Chicago

    Pringle caught two passes for 12 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 31-10 loss to the Jets on Sunday.

    Analysis: On a pass that appeared to have a high probability of being intercepted, Pringle made an excellent play by going over the top of the defender to secure his first touchdown reception as a member of the Bears. With four catches and 45 yards over four games this year, he'll remain an unreliable fantasy option unless his role in the offense changes.

  • First action since Week 3

    Pringle caught one pass for 12 yards in the Bears' 31-30 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

    Analysis: Pringle has played in three games this season, but he's yet to have more than one catch in a game. Unless his role increases, he'll remain a risky fantasy option.

  • Set to rejoin roster

    Pringle (calf) was activated off injured reserve Saturday, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Pringle hasn't played since Week 3 and rejoins a resurgent Bears offense led by the dual-threat capabilities of quarterback Justin Fields. Pringle's return could cut into the snaps of Equanimeous St. Brown, who had played at least 60 percent of the offensive snaps in all but two of the last five weeks.

  • Cleared for practice

    The Bears designated Pringle (calf) for return from injured reserve Wednesday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The transaction opens up a 21-day window for the Bears to evaluate Pringle in practice, and he's eligible to rejoin the 53-man roster at any point during that three-week span. The calf injury has sidelined Pringle since Week 3, but once healthy, Pringle should take on a depth role within the Bears' receiving corps.

  • Goes to IR with calf injury

    Pringle (calf) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.

    Analysis: After suffering a calf injury in the first half of Sunday's win over the Texans, Pringle will now have to miss the Bears' next four games and won't be eligible to play until Oct. 30 against the Cowboys. The five-year veteran has tallied just two receptions for 33 yards on three targets this season, so his absence won't open up much additional volume in what's already been the NFL's worst passing game through the first three weeks.

  • Exits Sunday's game

    Pringle was forced out of Sunday's contest against the Texans with a calf injury.

    Analysis: Pringle is iffy to return to Sunday's game against Houston after he was seen walking to the locker room with an apparent calf injury. Before his departure, the speedy receiver caught one pass for 11 yards. Expect Darnell Mooney, Equanimeous St. Brown and Dante Pettis to take on an expanded role for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the Texans if Pringle isn't able to return.

  • One grab in opener

    Pringle caught one pass for 22 yards in the Bears' 19-10 win over the 49ers on Sunday.

    Analysis: There wasn't much passing going on in a game played in terrible field conditions with heavy rain coming down at various points. Pringle's other target was on a deep pass in the end zone, but the ball was overthrown. We'll get a better feel for his role if the Week 2 game at Green Bay is played in better conditions.

  • Cleared for Week 1

    Pringle (groin) isn't listed on the Bears' initial injury report for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

    Analysis: Pringle moved past his preseason groin injury and now faces a tough defense to start the season, though San Francisco's strength lies up front rather than in the secondary. The Bears list Equanimeous St. Brown ahead of Pringle as a starter on their first depth chart of the regular season, but the slotting looks fluid behind clear No. 1 receiver Darnell Mooney.

  • Returns to practice

    Pringle (quadriceps) participated in Chicago's practice Monday as the team prepares for its Week 1 matchup against the 49ers, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Pringle suffered a quad injury Aug. 6, but he took the field Monday for the first time in over four weeks. It's unclear if he'll need time to get back to full speed, but his participation in practice is a step in the right direction. Going into the preseason, he was expected to be one of the top-three wide receivers in the team's rotation.

  • Remains sidelined

    Pringle (quadriceps) didn't participate in Tuesday's practice, Courtney Cronin of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Since suffering a quadriceps injury Aug. 6, Pringle has now missed over three weeks of action. He'll have time to take the practice field ahead of the Bears' Sept. 11 opener if he can recover, though there's been no word whether he's close to a return.

  • Unlikely to suit up Saturday

    Pringle (quadriceps) missed Thursday's practice and may not play Saturday against the Browns, Alyssa Barbieri of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: Pringle suffered a quadriceps injury Aug. 6 and has yet to return to practice, making it unlikely he plays in the preseason finale. If he sits, he'll have two weeks to heal up to have a chance to play in Week 1.

  • Remains sidelined

    Pringle (quadriceps) didn't practice Wednesday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Pringle has been dealing with the injury for just over two weeks, and his availability for Saturday's preseason finale versus the Browns is still up in the air. The 28-year-old's continued absence from practice could hurt his case for earning a prominent role in the Bears' receiving corps to begin the season.

  • May miss preseason finale

    Pringle (quadriceps) may not play Saturday against the Browns, Alyssa Barbieri of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: It's unclear as to whether Pringle has recovered from his quadriceps injury, but unless the coaching staff decides he needs reps with the backups, the Bears' coaching staff is expected to sit their first-string players to avoid injuries in the team's final preseason contest. Assuming that's the case, and he's healthy to start the regular season, he'll make his Chicago debut Week 1 against the 49ers.

  • Won't play this week

    Pringle (quadriceps) won't play in Thursday's preseason game against Seattle, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Pringle is the favorite for Chicago's No. 2 receiver job after signing a one-year, $4.1 million contract this offseason. His continued absence could create an opening for someone else to push for the role, but a bunch of the candidates have also missed practice time with injuries, including David Moore (lower body), N'Keal Harry (ankle surgery), Velus Jones (undisclosed) and Tajae Sharpe (undisclosed). The Bears should have Jones back for Thursday's preseason game, though the third-round rookie…read more

  • Not expected to play Saturday

    Pringle (quad) is unlikely play in Saturday's preseason opener against the Chiefs, Alyssa Barbieri of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: This was expected as coach Matt Eberflus previous stated that he hopes to see Pringle at some point this preseason after the receiver was reported to have injured his quadriceps on August 6.

  • Could miss time due to quad injury

    Pringle is dealing with a quadriceps injury that could keep him out for a while, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Head coach Matt Eberflus is "hopeful" the former Chiefs wideout will play at some point this preseason, which should indicate the severity of the injury. The Bears also lost N'Keal Harry to a possibly serious leg injury in Saturday's practice, while 2022 third-round pick Velus Jones sat out with an undisclosed injury. The dizzying number of injuries to Bears pass catchers leaves just Darnell Mooney and Equanimeous St. Brown as the only two healthy bodies among the projected top five wideouts.

  • Arrested in traffic incident

    Pringle was arrested in Florida on Saturday and charged with reckless driving and driving with a suspended license, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Pringle, who joined the Bears on a one-year, $4.125 million deal earlier this offseason, was pulled over by Florida Highway Patrol after he was allegedly doing donuts with his vehicle on a public road, according to the police report. It's unclear if Pringle will face any discipline from the league as a result of the incident, but any decision on that front likely wouldn't be made until the legal process concludes. With the Bears losing Allen Robinson in free agency, Pringle is projected to slot…read more

  • New home in Chicago

    The Bears and Pringle agreed to a contract Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: As often happens following coach or general manager hirings, new GM Ryan Poles is bringing a player from his previous team to his new one. Pringle is on the heels of his best campaign by a long shot, as he reeled in 42 of 60 passes for 568 yards and five touchdowns in 17 games with the Chiefs last season. He'll slot in as the No. 2 wide receiver behind Darnell Mooney for the time being in Chicago.

  • Targeted seven times in win

    Pringle reeled in five of his seven targets for 29 yards and a touchdown Sunday in Kansas City's 42-36 overtime win over the Bills in the divisional round.

    Analysis: Though Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce remain the clear No. 1 and 2 options in the passing game, Pringle has moved ahead of fellow wideouts Mecole Hardman and Demarcus Robinson and any of the Kansas City running backs as the preferred No. 3 target. Dating back to Week 18, Pringle has drawn no fewer than seven targets in any of the last three contests, cobbling together a 15-122-3 receiving line during that stretch.

  • Emerges as receiving threat in 2021

    Pringle compiled five catches for 56 yards on eight targets Saturday against the Broncos to give him 42 grabs for 568 yards and five scores during the 2021 regular season.

    Analysis: Pringle's preseason performance seemed to position him for an impactful role in 2021, but that didn't materialize until the second half of the season. Pringle really saw his involvement expand down the stretch, racking up 17 catches over the last four games after averaging just 1.9 per contest over the first 13 games. A strong showing in the playoffs could net him a hefty pay raise this offseason as an impending unrestricted free agent.

  • Snares three passes

    Pringle recorded three receptions for 35 yards on four targets during Sunday's game against the Bengals.

    Analysis: Pringle did see a slight dip in his playing time in this contest, login just 50 percent of the offensive snaps compared to 60-plus percent in three of the last four games. He was unable to follow up his breakout effort against the Steelers with a similar showing Sunday and shouldn't be counted on to consistently do so.

    Pringle caught six passes for 75 yards and two touchdowns on seven targets against Pittsburgh on Sunday.

    Analysis: Pringle stepped up on a day in which the Chiefs were without Travis Kelce (illness) and lead receiver Tyreek Hill played with no practice,. Pringle helped anchor a strong game for Patrick Mahomes (23 of 30 for 258 yards and three touchdowns) as the Chiefs easily put away the Steelers. Kelce should be back for Week 17's game against the Bengals and Hill will almost certainly get more practice time to prepare, but Pringle might have established himself as the Chiefs' third-leading pass catcher…read more

  • More involved versus Chargers

    Pringle reeled in three of his four targets for 22 yards during Thursday's game versus the Steelers.

    Analysis: Pringle finished with just one catch in each of the previous three games, so his added involvement on offense Thursday is a good sign as the regular season begins to wind down. That being said, he turned those three grabs into just 22 yards, and there isn't enough consistent volume to make him a viable asset in most fantasy leagues at this point.

  • Tallies one catch versus Raiders

    Pringle reeled in just one pass for 28 yards on his lone target Sunday versus the Raiders.

    Analysis: Pringle has just one grab in each of the team's last three games despite seeing a recent uptick in offensive snaps. Even if his trend of playing time continues, Pringle doesn't seem to garner enough looks in the passing attack to warrant a roster spot in most fantasy leagues at this point.

  • Draws four targets in win

    Pringle recorded one reception for 14 yards on four targets Sunday in the Chiefs' 22-9 win over the Broncos.

    Analysis: Pringle played 70 percent of the Chiefs' offensive snaps in the contest, good for his largest share of the season. The uptick in reps didn't translate into much meaningful production, however, as the Kansas City aerial attack continues to prioritize Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill above all else. The likes of Pringle, Mecole Hardman, Josh Gordon and Demarcus Robinson can't be counted on to deliver fantasy-friendly performances on a weekly basis.

  • Catches one pass

    Pringle secured one of two targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 19-9 win over the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Pringle played 59 percent of the team's offensive snaps, second to only Tyreek Hill among Kansas City receivers. The Chiefs offense didn't get much going through the air Sunday, and Pringle's 37-yard grab was the team's longest play of the day. The veteran wideout enters the team's Week 12 bye with a total of 23 catches, 338 yards and three touchdowns on the campaign.

  • Plays season-high snap count

    Pringle reeled in four of his five targets for 46 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Raiders.

    Analysis: What's more encouraging yet for Pringle is that he saw a season-high 45 snaps (60 percent) in the contest, playing more than Mecole Hardman on the night. If this is a sign of things to come, Pringle could be in line for additional looks in the passing game moving forward. It's also possible Hardman just fell into the doghouse after another drop, but Pringle performed reasonably well in his expanded role, so he could have a chance at more reps in future weeks.

  • Held without target

    Pringle was not targeted in Sunday's game against the Packers.

    Analysis: Pringle saw a slight dip from 53 to 44 percent in offensive snap share, sitting in the same range as it has been for the last four games. Pringle has a pair of touchdowns on the season, but has logged two or fewer catches in all but a pair of games thus far. He's still unreliable as a fantasy option, but he could sneak his way into the conversation on occasion.

  • No. 2 in snap count at WR on Monday

    Pringle finished with just one catch for 12 yards on two targets Monday versus the Giants.

    Analysis: Pringle finished the game without multiple catches for the first time since Week 1, which is odd considering he saw a season-high 53 percent snap share in the contest. If that trend continues in future weeks, there is a chance we see a spike in Pringle's production.

  • Leads way in receiving yards

    Pringle recorded five receptions on six targets for 73 yards in Sunday's 27-3 loss to the Titans.

    Analysis: Pringle saw only six targets compared to 12 for Travis Kelce and nine for Tyreek Hill. Even so, he led the team in receiving yards, which was also a new season high. Pringle chipped in a number of explosive plays, including receptions of 25, 23 and 12 yards. Despite the strong performance, Pringle has managed three or fewer targets in six of seven games this season, so his production moving forward is likely to be inconsistent at best.

    Pringle reeled in all three of his targets for 55 yards during Sunday's game versus Washington.

    Analysis: Pringle has drawn three or more targets just one other time this season and has finished with more than 25 receiving yards just twice all season. He did see a season-high 40 percent of the offensive snaps this week but can't be counted on to put up consistent numbers going forward.

  • Notches second score of season

    Pringle hauled in both of his targets for 11 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Bills.

    Analysis: Pringle made the most of his 25 snaps in the contest, playing a higher snap percentage than usual, likely due to the Chiefs trailing for much of the game. His opportunities may continue to wane as Josh Gordon become more familiar with the Kansas City playbook.

    Analysis: Pringle still played just 25 percent of the snaps on offense in Week 4 and figures to see his count continue to fall with the news that Josh Gordon has been promoted to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Bills. Pringle is still a contributor on special teams as a kick returner but seems to be creeping further away from the fantasy radar.

  • Garners season-high six targets

    Pringle reeled in two of his season-high six targets for 12 yards Sunday against the Chargers.

    Analysis: While the bad news was that Pringle couldn't turn his six targets into any real production, the good news is he finished with a season-high mark in targets and offensive snap share (38 percent). However, that was likely due, in part, to the Chiefs trailing entering the second half and turning a bit more pass-heavy with the offensive approach, affording more opportunities to wideouts overall. Pringle still ranked fourth in snap share among wideouts Sunday, which is unlikely to change as long as…read more

  • Scores first TD of season

    Pringle notched a pair of catches for 63 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Ravens.

    Analysis: Pringle made the most of his 11 offensive snaps Sunday, drawing two targets on the day and turning them into a productive showing overall. However, his 22 percent snap share indicates his position on the depth chart hasn't changed, so it's unlikely he will see this sort of output on a weekly basis barring an upswing in playing time.

    Pringle reeled in one of his two targets for six yards in Sunday's Week 1 win over the Browns.

    Analysis: Pringle logged just 11 offensive snaps compared to Demarcus Robinson's 48 and Mecole Hardman's 45, placing him well behind both in the pecking order for offensive looks. He's likely the next man up to join that group should any of them miss time but seems unlikely to garner enough offensive attention to warrant fantasy consideration at this point.

    Analysis: Pringle flashed multiple times during camp and the preseason and has his name in the conversation for some reps. That said, Tyreek Hill and Mecole Hardman still hold the top two spots on the depth chart and Demarcus Robinson still figures to be part of the mix, so Pringle's upside remains rather limited as long as the other wideout options remain healthy.

  • Challenging for No. 2 WR role?

    Pringle has been the most consistent receiver in camp outside of Tyreek Hill and could be carving out a significant role in the offense, Charles Goldman of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: Pringle displayed his promise again in the second preseason tilt Friday against the Cardinals, leading all Chiefs receivers with four catches for 63 yards. Goldman notes that Mecole Hardman and Demarcus Robinson are definitely in the mix for reps as well, but Pringle entered camp as the underdog and has continued to make a name for himself. The third-year wideout out of Kansas State could begin to creep into sleeper territory in deep fantasy leagues but is still a risky proposition at this…read more

  • Outplaying Robinson at camp

    Pringle appears to have an early lead over Demarcus Robinson in their competition for the No. 3 receiver role, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Listed at 203 pounds, Pringle dropped to 196 this offseason in an effort to improve his speed, perhaps anticipating that he'll take over some of Robinson's deep routes from the past few seasons. Robinson has already shown that playing time doesn't necessarily lead to steady targets for him in an offense with Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce, but there is always upside from TDs and big plays when QB Patrick Mahomes is on the field. While the Chiefs are counting on Mecole Hardman to step up as a…read more

  • Signs tender on draft day

    Pringle signed his original-round tender with the Chiefs on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Pringle will play out the 2021 campaign on a one-year deal worth $2.18 million with the Chiefs. The departure of Sammy Watkins could foreshadow Pringle handling increased opportunities this season, though No. 3 receiver Demarcus Robinson did also re-up with Kansas City on a one-year contract.

  • Gets original-round tender

    The Chiefs gave Pringle an original-round tender Wednesday, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.

    Analysis: The tender is a one-year contract for $2.18 million, with the Chiefs getting the right to match any offer sheet he might receive from another team. Pringle was undrafted coming out of college, so there's no compensation involved if he signs a deal with another team and the Chiefs decline to match. Pringle could be looking at a larger role in Kansas City in 2021, considering teammates Sammy Watkins and Demarcus Robinson are scheduled for free agency at the start of the new league year Wednesday.

  • Getting RFA tender

    The Chiefs will give Pringle a restricted free-agent tender Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Pringle could take on a larger role in 2021 if the Chiefs lose Sammy Watkins and/or Demarcus Robinson in free agency. Kansas City's top wideouts currently under contract are Tyreek Hill, Mecole Hardman and now Pringle.

  • Draws five targets in AFC title game

    Pringle corralled three of five targets for 22 yards Sunday in the Chiefs' 38-24 win over the Bills in the AFC Championship Game.

    Analysis: Pringle played a surprising 80 percent of the offensive snaps in the contest, his highest rate since Week 17 against the Chargers, when the Chiefs were resting several of their key offensive playmakers. Though Pringle was effective enough as a depth option at receiver, he'll likely see a major dip in his snap share in the Feb. 7 Super Bowl matchup with the Buccaneers, as the Chiefs are expected to return Sammy Watkins (calf) for that contest.

  • Catches touchdown Sunday

    Pringle caught four of six targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-21 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: Pringle grew in importance with teammates Tyreek Hill (hamstring), Sammy Watkins (calf) and Travis Kelce (rest) all not playing Sunday, and he opened the scoring with a three-yard touchdown in the first quarter. With four receptions in total, including a long of 31 yards, Pringle was able to put together his best performance of the campaign, but he should return to a depth role when Kansas City returns its full stable of offensive stars in the playoffs.

  • Activated from IR

    The Chiefs activated Pringle (ankle) from IR on Saturday.

    Analysis: Pringle's ankle injury caused him to miss three contests, but he'll be back in action for Sunday's game against the Saints. He'll resume working as a depth receiver, a role which Pringle has translated into nine catches for 108 yards on the season.

  • Returns to practice

    Pringle (ankle) returned to practice Wednesday after being designated to return from IR, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Kansas City has a three-week window to place Pringle back on the active roster, and the receiver could suit up as soon as Sunday's game against the Saints if he looks ready in practice. Prior to sustaining his injury in Week 11 against the Raiders, Pringle chipped in nine catches for 108 yards in a depth role.

  • Moves to injured reserve

    Pringle (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.

    Analysis: Pringle sustained the ankle injury during Sunday's win over the Raiders and will be sidelined for at least the next three games. Tyreek Hill or Mecole Hardman could fill in on kick returns for the Chiefs in the meantime.

  • Hurts ankle on SNF

    Pringle (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders.

    Analysis: Pringle caught three of four targets for 17 yards and returned a trio of kickoffs for 67 yards before picking up the injury in the second half. The deep Kansas City skill position group should be able to weather Pringle's absence if he's unable to work his way back into the game.

  • Absent from box score

    Pringle was not targeted during Sunday's game versus the Panthers.

    Analysis: Pringle was unable to follow up a season-best three grabs for 22 yards last Sunday versus the Jets with another solid showing Sunday. He saw his snap count reduced from 56 percent last week to just 31 percent against Carolina and is likely set to see that minimized further when Sammy Watkins (hamstring) gets the all-clear.

  • Continues to see work

    Pringle racked up three catches on four targets for 22 yards Sunday versus the Jets.

    Analysis: Pringle has played more than 50 percent of the offensive snaps in each of the last two weeks thanks to his abilities as a blocker in the run game. That doesn't make him a viable fantasy option in most leagues, given his six receptions on the season. He should continue to provide depth at the wide receiver position but is unlikely to see significant targets unless a laundry list of injuries hits the group.

  • Scores first TD of season

    Pringle didn't catch a pass Sunday versus the Broncos but did return a kickoff 102 yards for a touchdown.

    Analysis: Pringle used the snowy field in Denver to his advantage, making a quick cut that left two Broncos defenders in the dust as he sped past the kicker to take it the distance. He also found his way onto the field for 61 percent of the snaps, ranking third among wideouts ahead of Mecole Hardman. Unfortunately, he didn't draw a target on the day and figures to see his role reduced in the coming weeks once Sammy Watkins (hamstring) is given the green light to return.

  • Makes first notable impact of 2020

    Pringle snared both of his targets for 46 yards Monday versus the Bills.

    Analysis: Pringle saw a jump in his playing time with Sammy Watkins (hamstring) sidelined Monday, playing 38 percent of the offensive snaps after playing no more than 14 percent in any previous contest. He could continue to see boosted snap counts until Watkins is cleared to return but remains low enough in the pecking order for targets to remain off the fantasy radar in most formats.

  • In good spot to make roster

    Pringle is in the lead for a starting gunner spot on special teams, Matt Derrick of Chiefs Digest reports.

    Analysis: Pringle's contributions on special teams could be a key factor in landing him a roster spot for the Chiefs yet again as wide receiver depth. Based on his positioning as a starting gunner, he looks to be in a good spot to keep a job on the 53-man roster.

    Pringle (hamstring) returned to practice Friday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

    Analysis: Pringle stayed off the field for nearly an entire week, but he's back in action preparing to defend the Super Bowl title. The 26-year-old wideout is slated as the team's No. 5 wide receiver, and he'll make most of his contributions on special teams.

  • Nursing hamstring

    Pringle was absent from Saturday's practice due to a hamstring issue, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

    Analysis: This is the first news regarding a hamstring issue for Pringle and the severity is not known at this time. When healthy, he is expected to primarily provide depth at wide receiver. The 26-year-old hauled in 19 passes for 170 yards and a touchdown in 2019.

  • Posts 12 catches in 2019

    Pringle reeled in 12 of his 16 targets for 170 yards and a touchdown during the 2019 season.

    Analysis: More than half of Pringle's production came in Week 5 versus the Colts, when he logged a season-high 49 offensive snaps and hauled in six passes for 104 yards and his first and only NFL touchdown to date. He remains under contract through the 2020 season, but Pringle has no money guaranteed, potentially forcing him to lay claim to his roster spot in camp again. He should have a leg up this time around with a full year on the roster under his belt.

  • Targeted once

    Pringle caught his only target for a 14-yard gain during Sunday's 23-16 win over New England.

    Analysis: Pringle's reception came on his only offensive snap of the game. The young WR has single-digit or no offensive snaps in five of his last six games and has just two catches for 23 yards during that span. He's a long way from Week 5's six-catch outing and should not be on your fantasy radar -- especially with Patrick Mahomes (hand) dinged up, the rest of the Chiefs' receiving corps healthy and Denver's sixth-ranked pass defense coming to town Sunday.

  • Snaps catchless streak

    Pringle caught his only target of Monday's 24-17 win over the Chargers for a nine-yard gain.

    Analysis: Monday's reception ended a four-game catchless streak for Pringle, who still has more catches in Week 5 (six) than the rest of the season combined (five). He had just three offensive snaps total in the three games leading into Monday after the Chiefs' receiving corps returned to health, but he managed to reach 11 offensive snaps against the Chargers largely because Tyreek Hill (hamstring) made an early exit. If Hill's injury is still a factor after the team's Week 12 bye, Pringle's role on…read more
