News

  • Ends up back on practice squad

    Holtz reverted to the Saints' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Analysis: Holtz was elevated for the first time since signing with the Saints' practice squad Nov. 23. However, he was ultimately ruled inactive pregame, as top tight end Juwan Johnson (quadriceps) was deemed available in his usual starting role. Holtz did not record a target over six games with New Orleans this season, and he has logged just one target since the 2019 campaign.

  • Inactive Sunday

    Holtz (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Analysis: Holtz was elevated to the active roster from the practice squad Saturday, but he'll ultimately be a healthy scratch for Week 18. The fourth-year tight end made six appearances for New Orleans this season, but he was held without a target across 84 offensive snaps.

  • Elevated from practice squad

    Holtz was elevated to the Saints' active roster Saturday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Analysis: Holtz has bounced between the Saints' practice squad and active roster throughout the season. Assuming he's active Sunday, he will appear in a game for the first time since Week 9. Holtz has no targets this season.

  • Brought back by New Orleans

    The Saints signed Holtz to their practice squad Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

    Analysis: Holtz had seen action in each of New Orleans' contests since Week 4 before he was waived Saturday. He'll now return to the organization as a member of the team's practice squad. Holtz has been a non-factor as a pass catcher throughout most of his NFL career -- he's played in 35 games over the past three campaigns but has seen only one target and hasn't recorded a catch.

  • Let go by New Orleans

    The Saints waived Holtz on Saturday, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: Holtz made six appearances for New Orleans and didn't see a target across 84 offensive snaps. The Saints also cut tight end Nick Vannett and signed Yasir Durant and Bryce Thompson to fill the empty roster spots.

  • Signed to active roster

    The Saints signed Holtz off the practice squad Wednesday.

    Analysis: Holtz has landed a permanent spot on New Orleans' active roster after being elevated from the team's practice squad for the first time in Week 4. The 29-year-old served as the team's third-string tight end behind Adam Trautman and Juwan Johnson, as Nick Vannett did not see the field Sunday. Though Holtz did not record a target while playing 10 offensive snaps, he seems poised to take over as the team's No. 3 tight end moving forward.

  • Shifts back to practice squad

    Holtz reverted to the Saints' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Analysis: Holtz was activated from New Orleans' practice squad for the first time in 2022 on Sunday, playing 11 offensive snaps as the team's third-string tight end behind Adam Trautman (39) and Juwan Johnson (29). However, the 29-year-old did not receive a target and was flagged for an offensive holding penalty against the Vikings. Holtz also played seven special-teams snaps, and he can now be elevated from the Saints' practice squad for two more games this season.

  • Promoted to active roster

    Holtz was elevated to the active roster Saturday for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Holtz has spent the first three weeks of the season on the Saints' practice squad and will be added to the active roster for the first time this season. He figures to play primarily on special teams.

  • Re-signs with practice squad

    The Saints signed Holtz to the team's practice squad Wednesday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Holtz was waived by the Saints during the NFL's recent surge of roster cuts. However, the 29-year-old tight end will now serve as a reserve option should the team endure injuries at the position.

  • Let go by New Orleans

    The Saints waived Holtz on Tuesday.

    Analysis: The Saints don't have a headliner at tight end, but it is a deep group, which left Holtz as the odd man out. The undrafted pro out of Pittsburgh hasn't caught a pass since 2019, but his blocking prowess may draw the attention of a few teams.

  • Inks deal with New Orleans

    Holtz signed a contract with the Saints on Tuesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Analysis: After posting seven catches for 91 yards in 2019, Holtz failed to catch a pass in 2020 or 2021. If he makes the initial 53-man roster, the undrafted tight end out of Pittsburgh will likely serve primarily as a blocker once again in 2022.

  • Posts no stats in 2021

    Holtz failed to see a target in the Bears' 31-17 Week 18 loss to the Vikings, and he ended the season without recording a catch.

    Analysis: After posting seven catches for 91 yards in 2019, Holtz failed to catch a pass in 2020 or 2021. He'll be a restricted free agent this offseason, and unless his situation drastically changes, he won't likely be selected in most 2022 fantasy drafts.

  • Ready for Week 18

    Holtz (personal) was a full practice participant Wednesday.

    Analysis: The tight end was away from the team Week 17 while tending to a personal matter. Now back at the practice facility, Holtz is slated to serve as a depth option at tight end in Sunday's finale against the Vikings.

  • Out Sunday

    Holtz (personal) is inactive Sunday against the Giants.

    Analysis: Holtz was considered doubtful after not being with the team Thursday or Friday due to the personal matter. As he mainly contributes on special teams, Holtz' absence shouldn't impact the Bears' game plan when they host the Giants on Sunday.

    Published: Sun, Jan 2 at 8:41am by Rotowire.com

  • Unlikely to play Sunday

    Holtz (personal) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Analysis: Holtz missed practice Thursday and Friday due to a personal matter, and he'll likely be held out in Week 17. The 28-year-old has played mainly on special teams this year, so his status shouldn't significantly impact Chicago's offensive plans.

  • Won't play in primetime

    Holtz (concussion) won't play Monday against the Steelers.

    Analysis: Holtz was never able to practice this week after entering the concussion protocol during Sunday's game. With the Bears entering a bye for Week 10, Holtz will try to recover and clear protocols for Week 11 against Baltimore.

    Published: Sat, Nov 6 at 12:35pm by Rotowire.com

  • Misses practice Friday

    Holtz (concussion) did not practice Friday.

    Analysis: Holtz entered concussion protocol on Sunday and has yet to be cleared. He has an extra day to prepare since the Bears don't play until Monday, but time is running out. If Holtz is unable to get cleared in time, it's likely Jesper Horsted would pick up some extra snaps.

  • Enters concussion protocol

    Holtz is in the concussion protocol, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Holtz will have an extra day to clear the protocol since the Bears play on Monday night in Week 9 against the Steelers. Jesper Horsted would likely absorb the extra snaps if the 28-year-old needs to miss time.

  • Ready for Week 7

    Holtz (quadriceps) is active for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Holtz logged a full practice Friday, which set him up to return from a two-game absence. He should serve primarily on special teams, even with Jimmy Graham (illness) sidelined.

    Published: Sun, Oct 24 at 12:34pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Questionable after full practice

    Holtz (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Holtz has missed the past two games due to this quad injury, but his practice participation this week was encouraging, as he upgraded to full participation Friday following a pair of limited sessions. With Jimmy Graham on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Holtz or Jesper Horsted will have the opportunity to work as Chicago's third-string tight end behind Cole Kmet and Jesse James.

    Published: Fri, Oct 22 at 11:45am by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Returns to practice

    Holtz (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Holtz has missed each of the last two weeks with the injury. It would be reassuring to see him get a full practice in prior to the team's matchup Sunday against Tampa Bay, though his limited participation is a positive step. Holtz has yet to record a catch in four games this season.

  • Remains sidelined in Week 6

    Holtz (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Green Bay.

    Analysis: Holtz will sit out a second consecutive game due to this quad injury. He's still searching for his first catch of the season.

    Published: Fri, Oct 15 at 12:04pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Sitting out Week 5

    Holtz (quadriceps) won't play Sunday against the Raiders.

    Analysis: With fellow tight end Jesse James (personal) also ruled out, Jesper Horsted (knee) will slide up to third on the depth chart behind Cole Kmet and Jimmy Graham in Vegas. Holtz -- who hasn't had a pass thrown his way all season -- will look to make his return in Week 6 against the Packers.

  • Re-ups with Bears

    Chicago re-signed Holtz on Wednesday.

    Analysis: Holtz was an exclusive rights free agent, but he'll remain with Chicago for at least one more season. He suited up for all 16 regular-season games in 2020, seeing the majority of his reps on special teams. He drew only one target across his 87 offensive snaps.

    Published: Wed, Mar 3 at 11:55am by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Suiting up Week 14

    Holtz (shoulder) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Texans.

    Analysis: The 27-year-old exited last Sunday's loss to the Lions after fielding one offensive snap, though he was able to participate in a limited capacity throughout this past practice week. Holtz has earned the green light from Chicago's training staff, allowing him to resume his typical backup tight end and special-teams roles as the 5-7 Bears fight to keep fading playoff hopes alive.

  • Leaves with shoulder issue

    Holtz exited Sunday's loss to the Lions with a shoulder injury, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Holtz wasn't targeted before leaving the game during the second half. The 27-year-old was considered questionable to return but never appeared to retake the field.

    Published: Sun, Dec 6 at 1:12pm by Rotowire.com

  • Re-signs with Bears

    Holtz has officially signed his exclusive-rights tender with the Bears, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Holtz played 14 games for the Bears last season and started seven of them. He was used mainly as a blocker but did log seven receptions for 91 yards. His role is not expected to be expanded in 2021, as the team brought in veteran Jimmy Graham for No. 1 tight end duties.

  • Fails to see target

    Holtz wasn't targeted in the Bears' 21-19 win over the Vikings in Week 17, and he ended the campaign with seven catches for 91 yards in 13 games.

    Analysis: When the Bears suffered injuries to their top-three tight ends, Holtz was thrust into a prominent role down the stretch, but he averaged fewer than two receptions over six games. He'll be an exclusive rights free agent this offseason, and it's likely he'll look to compete for a backup role wherever he signs.

  • One grab in loss

    Holtz caught one pass for 13 yards in the Bears' 26-3 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

    Analysis: Holtz saw just one target for the third game in a row, and he won't be a strong fantasy option in a Week 17 matchup against the Vikings.

    Published: Sun, Dec 22 at 9:41pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Loses yard in loss

    Holtz saw one target but lost a yard on his lone catch of Sunday's 21-13 loss to Green Bay.

    Analysis: Holtz's stock climbed after Week 14's 56-yard performance, but Sunday's outing should level things out a bit. The rookie, thanks to injuries, has climbed up the depth chart and the Bears' offense has shown more signs of life as of late, but he's a tough play Sunday against a rallying Chiefs defense with a tenacious safety over the middle in Tyrann Mathieu.

    Published: Tue, Dec 17 at 4:49pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • First multi-catch performance

    Holtz caught all three of his targets for 56 yards in the Bears' 31-24 win over the Cowboys on Thursday.

    Analysis: Although he's been serving as the primary blocking tight end for the Bears, Holtz saw his first targets in eight weeks. Despite posting a big yardage total, his low floor makes him nearly impossible to start in the fantasy playoffs.
