Chase Claypool won’t be catching any passes in 2024.

On Tuesday, it was reported that the former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver has not practiced in training camp since July 28 due to a toe injury.

The Bills have placed WR Chase Claypool on injured reserve, effectively ending his 2024 season before it could actually begin.

After dropping Chase Claypool from their roster, the Bills added wideout Deon Cain.

It should be noted that, depending on the severity of his injury, Claypool still has the option to play elsewhere if he were to be healthy enough via an injury settlement.


In a combined 12 games last season, Claypool had eight receptions for 77 yards and a touchdown, per ESPN.

Originally taken with the 49th overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft out of Notre Dame, Claypool has appeared in 58 games over four seasons while playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Miami Dolphins, and the Chicago Bears.

Now, he won’t have the chance to catch passes from Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills.

Chase Claypool’s career has trended in the wrong direction for some time.

He has not been the same player since his initial years in Pittsburgh.

Claypool had back-to-back 800-yard seasons and eleven total touchdowns and looked primed to be a star.

Injuries and bad play caught up with him in the next few years as he has scored just two total touchdowns while playing for the Chicago Bears and Miami Dolphins.

He is still only 26-years-old, but Chase Claypool is running out of time to salvage his career.
