The Patriots placed Tyms (foot) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Tyms was claimed by another team after being waived Monday, so he was placed on the Patriots' season-ending injured reserve list. He will be a free agent after the season and attempt to make an impact somewhere in 2016.

Tyms (foot) was waived/injured by the Patriots on Monday, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports.

Assuming he is not claimed by another team, Tyms will revert to IR. With Brandon Gibson having already landed on IR, the Patriots added depth and experience at wideout Monday by signing veteran Reggie Wayne.

Tyms is dealing with a foot injury that threatens his status for the coming season, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports.

If Tyms, who had been in the mix for the Patriots' No. 4-5 wideout slot, is indeed out for an extended period of time, the competition on that front would then figure to boil down to Brandon Gibson, Aaron Dobson and Josh Boyce.

Tyms, who injured his shoulder during Tuesday's practice, could return sooner than initially expected after tests revealed no serious damage, Jeff Howe of the Boston Herald reports.

Tyms is competing with fellow wide receivers Aaron Dobson, Josh Boyce, and Brandon Gibson for a spot on the Patriots' roster, so the news of a possible preseason return for Tyms is essential for any chance he has of making the team. There's no exact timetable for this kind of injury, but he'll look to get back on the field as soon as he's comfortable.

Tyms was was carted off the field Tuesday after suffering an apparent arm injury, ESPN.com reports.

Tyms entered training camp as a candidate to secure the team's No. 4 or 5 wideout spot, but at first glance, it looks like he might miss a decent chunk of time. If that happens, look for Aaron Dobson, Josh Boyce and Brandon Gibson to jostle for slotting behind the Patriots' top three receivers, Julian Edelman, Brandon LaFell and Danny Amendola.

The Patriots have re-signed Tyms, csnne.com reports.

The 6-3, 204-pound Tyms played in 11 games for the Patriots in 2014, recording five catches for 94 yards and a touchdown. While Tyms brings good size and some potential as a deep threat to the table, his role with the team in 2015 is hardly defined, with the likes of Brandon LaFell, Julian Edelman, Danny Amendola, Brandon Gibson and Aaron Dobson also in the team's wideout mix.

Tyms, who caught four passes for 39 yards in Sunday's regular season finale, was on the field for 54-of-67 snaps on offense in the contest, ESPN.com reports.

Tyms saw some extra action Sunday, with WR Julian Edelman and TE Rob Gronkowski out, and the Patriots' rolling with more three-receiver sets than usual, as a result. Once the playoffs begin, Tyms figures to slot in as the team's No. 4 wideout, an assignment that doesn't carry much fantasy upside. Overall this season, Tyms caught just five passes for 82 yards and a TD in 11 games, but depending on how things shake out personnel-wise, the 6-3, 204-pound wideout could see his role in the offense increase next season.

Tyms was on the field for 17-of-74 snaps on offense in Sunday's 51-23 win over the Bears, ESPN.com reports.

Brandon LaFell, Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola all saw more snaps than Tyms (who did not record a catch) did on Sunday, so he's clearly a break or two away from fantasy utility at this stage.

Tyms hauled in a 43-yard touchdown in Sunday's 37-22 win over the Bills.

While Tyms saw just two targets in his season debut, he made it count. He's a player to track in the coming weeks, though at this stage fellow wideouts Julian Edelman and Brandon LaFell remain more reliable fantasy options.

Tyms -- who is coming off a four-game suspension to start the season -- has been activated by the Patriots, NESN.com reports.

As was cornerback Brandon Browner, with the duo thus in line to be available for Week 6's game against the Bills. While it's unclear how big of a role in the Patriots' offense Tyms is in line for, the team's recent release of Kenbrell Thompkins paves the way for him to carve out a depth slot in the team's wideout corps.

Tyms is set to return from his suspension this week, ESPN.com reports.

It remains to be seen what Tyms' role with the team will be out of the gate, but his strong preseason suggests that he could garner some opportunities in the coming weeks, with the Patriots still clearly looking for answers in their passing game.

Tyms caught three passes for 29 yards and a TD in Friday's preseason game against the Eagles.

Tyms, who is slated to serve a four-game suspension to start the season after reportedly testing positive for Adderall, has a slew of capable options ahead of him on the Patriots' wideout depth chart, but once he is eligible to resume regular season action, there may be a depth role waiting for him, in the event that injuries are in play at that stage.

Tyms recorded five catches for 119 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's preseason opener against Washington.

Tyms saw added work Thursday with top receivers Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola rested by the Patriots, but despite strong effort, he'd need a break or two in his favor in order to crack the team's final roster.

Patriots signed WR Brian Tyms.

25-year-old Tyms was cut by the receiver-starved Browns in March. He caught two passes for 12 yards across seven games with Cleveland last season. Tyms is taking the roster spot of WR Greg Orton, who tore his Achilles' last week.
