Siemian reverted to the Titans' practice squad Monday.
Siemian was active but didn't play during Sunday's overtime win versus the Patriots, serving as Mason Rudolph's backup since Will Levis was sidelined with a shoulder injury. Siemian would likely be activated once again for the team's Week 10 matchup against the Chargers if Levis remains out.

Trevor Siemian: Reverts to practice squad
Rotowire
Siemian reverted to the Titans' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Siemian operated as the backup quarterback behind Mason Rudolph in the team's 52-14 loss to the Lions in Week 8, failing to enter the game. With Will Levis (shoulder) still banged up, Siemian could be elevated again for Sunday's matchup with the Patriots.

Titans' Trevor Siemian: Elevated for Week 8
Rotowire
The Titans elevated Siemian from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports,
Siemian will work as the backup to Mason Rudolph in the event that Will Levis (shoulder), who is officially listed as questionable, isn't able to suit up for Sunday's game at Detroit. This constitutes Siemian's second of three possible elevations from the practice squad for Tennessee.

Jets' Trevor Siemian: Wins snow game with 70 yards
Rotowire
Siemian completed eight of 20 passes for 70 yards and rushed twice for one yard in Sunday's 17-3 win over the Patriots.
Siemian isn't exactly a prolific passer in pristine conditions, so it's no surprise that he struggled in snowy Foxborough, but Breece Hall's 178-yard rushing performance and the defense carried the Jets to victory. Siemian finishes the season with 724 passing yards, two touchdowns and four interceptions in five appearances (three starts). He was the fourth man up under center for the Jets after Aaron Rodgers (Achilles), Zach Wilson (concussion) and Tim Boyle, so Siemian will likely be looking to land a backup job somewhere next season.

Jets' Trevor Siemian: Will start again Week 18
Rotowire
Jets head coach Robert Saleh said Wednesday that Siemian will start Sunday's season finale against the Patriots with Zach Wilson (concussion) having been ruled out for Week 18, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Siemian will make a third consecutive start to close out the season. Across two previous starts and two relief appearances, Siemian has produced a 2:4 TD:INT while averaging a paltry 4.9 yards per pass attempt. With Siemian and Bailey Zappe at quarterback for the Jets and Patriots, respectively, Sunday's game is unlikely to feature much offensive firepower.

Jets' Trevor Siemian: Three TOs after Wilson's injury
Rotowire
Siemian completed 14 of 26 passes for 110 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions after replacing Zach Wilson (head) in the second quarter of Sunday's 30-0 loss to the Dolphins. He also lost a fumble.
New York trailed 24-0 at the time Siemian came into the game, and his insertion unsurprisingly didn't lead to a change in momentum. After the Jets finally crossed midfield for the first time in the third quarter, Siemian badly overthrew Randall Cobb for an interception. New York's next two possessions also ended in Siemian turnovers (a fumble and another interception). If neither Wilson nor Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) gain clearance to play in Week 16, Siemian would be in line for his first start of the season against the Commanders.

Trevor Siemian: Will serve as Jets' No. 2 QB
Rotowire
Coach Robert Saleh announced Monday that Siemian will be the Jets' backup quarterback to Tim Boyle in Friday's game against the Dolphins, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.
Siemian has been biding his time on the practice squad since Aaron Rodgers went down with his torn Achilles, but he'll have a chance to be active in Week 12. There's a decent chance we see Siemian playing before season's end. Zach Wilson will also be active Friday as the third quarterback, according to Saleh.

Trevor Siemian: Won't make team
Rotowire
Siemian was released by the Bengals on Tuesday, Jay Morrison reports.
Siemian was working to earn the backup role to Joe Burrow; however, he was edged out by Washington product +Jake Browning. The former will now need to seek out another opportunity, where he'd look to see the field in a regular-season game for a fifth NFL team.

Trevor Siemian: Let go Thursday
Rotowire
Siemian was released by the Bears on Thursday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Siemian ended the season on IR after he needed surgery to address an oblique injury suffered in Week 12 warmups. The veteran quarterback, who is now presumably past the issue, has previously spent time with the Broncos, Jets and Saints before landing in Chicago last season. He'll now likely work to find a backup opportunity with a new franchise.

Bears' Trevor Siemian: Heads to IR
Rotowire
Siemian was placed on the Bears' injured reserve Saturday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Siemian is set to undergo season-ending surgery for an oblique injury sustained in pregame warmups ahead of Chicago's Week 12 loss to the Jets. The 30-year-old quarterback was then ruled out for Sunday's game against the Packers, and he'll now turn his focus toward recovering ahead of the 2023 season. With Siemian done for the year, the Bears have signed Nathan Peterman from the practice squad to serve as the backup quarterback behind Justin Fields on Sunday.

Bears' Trevor Siemian: No practice to begin week
Rotowire
Siemian won't practice Wednesday due to an oblique injury, Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Siemian injured his oblique during pregame warmups ahead of Sunday's 31-10 loss to the Jets, though he managed to play through the issue while filling in as the starter in place of the injured Justin Fields (shoulder). He wasn't especially effective, however, completing 14 of 25 attempts for 179 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Fields is practicing in a limited capacity Wednesday and hasn't been ruled out for the Bears' matchup with the Packers in Week 13, though his availability looks truly uncertain. With their top two quarterbacks managing injuries, the Bears were motivated to add another healthy signal-caller to the mix and did so by signing Tim Boyle off Detroit's practice squad Wednesday.

Bears' Trevor Siemian: Draws Week 12 start
Rotowire
Siemian started at QB for the Bears on Sunday against the Jets, Courtney Cronin of ESPN reports.
With Justin Fields (shoulder) unavailable, Siemian had been expected to start Sunday, but after he injured an oblique muscle during warmups, the Bears announced that Nathan Peterman would draw the assignment instead. Evidently, Siemian felt better as kickoff approached, and he ended up starting the contest after all. Fields' next chance to suit up will arrive next weekend, when Chicago faces Green Bay in Week 13.

Bears' Trevor Siemian: Week 12 starter TBD
Rotowire
Mike Garafolo of NFL Network relays that Bears media relations told reporters that it's a game-time decision between Siemian and Nathan Peterman as to who will start Sunday's game against the Jets.
With Justin Fields (shoulder) inactive for the Bears' Week 12 contest, Trevor Siemian had been in line to start, but he suffered an oblique injury during pregame warmups. Peterman was then named the team's starting QB, but now it's a game-time decision regarding who will get the nod.
Siemian suffered an oblique injury in pregame warmups and won't start Sunday's game against the Jets, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.
With Justin Fields (shoulder) inactive for the contest, Siemian was on track to make his second appearance and first start of the season for Chicago. However, due to the unfortunate timing of his injury, Siemian doesn't look as though he'll be available as anything more than a No. 2 option, as the Bears have now announced that Nathan Peterman -- who was elevated from the practice squad Saturday -- will draw the start. Running back David Montgomery is the Bears' emergency No. 3 option if neither Peterman nor Siemian can finish the game.

Bears' Trevor Siemian: Week 12 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
I hope Siemian doesn't play in Week 12 at the Jets or at all this season, but there's the potential for that now with Justin Fields dealing with a dislocated left shoulder. If Siemian does start then he's someone to add in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues for at least 5 percent of your remaining FAB. While he won't be Fields -- not many quarterbacks can do that -- he could take advantage of throwing to Darnell Mooney, Chase Claypool and Cole Kmet. Let's hope Fields is OK, but Fantasy managers in deeper Superflex and two-quarterback leagues should add Siemian just in case Fields can't play in Week 12 or beyond.

Saints' Trevor Siemian: Wins in relief
Rotowire
Siemian completed nine of 15 passes for 71 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 30-20 win over the Falcons.
Siemian was forced into the game after Taysom Hill (foot) exited with a foot injury in the first half. The Saints relied heavily on Alvin Kamara and the run game, though Siemian was effective when called upon. He led the offense to the end zone twice, throwing for scores from 13 and five yards away. After serving as the backup and making spot starts in New Orleans for the 2021 season, Siemian will hit free agency this offseason and will likely look for another backup role around the league.

Saints' Trevor Siemian: Removed from COVID-19 list
Rotowire
The Saints activated Siemian (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Likewise for Taysom Hill (illness), allowing the Saints to have a more desirable Hill-Siemian setup at the top of the quarterback depth chart heading into Sunday's game against the Panthers. Siemian will serve as Hill's backup moving forward, while Week 16 starter Ian Book slides back down to third in the pecking order.

Saints' Trevor Siemian: Mixed performance in loss
Rotowire
Siemian completed 22 of 40 passes for 214 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions in the Saints' 40-29 loss to the Eagles on Sunday. He also rushed twice for 16 yards and another score.
The journeyman signal-caller's proverbial carriage turned into somewhat of a pumpkin Sunday, although Siemian's four total touchdowns were certainly welcome from a fantasy perspective. However, from a football perspective, Siemian may have hurt as much as he helped, as one of his two interceptions was returned for a pick-six by Darius Slay, while two of his touchdown passes and his rushing score came in a fourth quarter the Saints entered trailing 33-7. Nevertheless, with three consecutive multi-touchdown efforts and Sunday's two picks his first pair this season, Siemian seems a virtual lock to be under center again for the Thanksgiving night showdown with the Bills in Week 12.

Saints' Trevor Siemian: Tosses two touchdowns
Rotowire
Siemian completed 19 of 34 passes for 298 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 23-21 loss to the Titans.
Siemian drew his second consecutive start and had his best showing of the season. He averaged 8.8 yards per attempt, in large part thanks to completing six passes of 20 yards or more. Siemian also threw for multiple touchdowns for the second consecutive game, as he connected with Tre'Quan Smith and Marquez Callaway for scores of 11 and 15 yards, respectively. Despite some chatter of Taysom Hill seeing an increased role, he earned only two pass attempts, which allowed Siemian to top 30 pass attempts for the first time on the campaign. Based on this effort, Siemian can be expected to remain the starter in Week 11 against Philadelphia.
