The Falcons signed Washington to a reserve/future contract Monday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official website reports.

Washington will stick around Atlanta after spending the entirety of the season with the team's practice squad, earning one elevation to the active roster in Week 1 against the Buccaneers. The running back played 10 snaps on special teams in the contest, failing to record any stats. With Tyler Allgeier set to become a free agent in the offseason, Washington could compete for the top reserve role behind Bijan Robinson in 2026.

The Raiders signed Collier to a reserve/future contract Monday.

Collier spent the entire 2025 season on the Raiders' practice squad after failing to make the team's 53-man roster at the end of training camp. His lone elevation to the Raiders' active roster came in Week 17 against the Giants, though he didn't end up playing a single snap in a 34-10 loss. Collier will stay in Las Vegas in the offseason, where he'll look to show enough to the organization in OTAs, minicamp and training camp to earn a spot on the active roster for the 2026 season.

The Lions signed Saylors to a one-year contract Monday.

Saylors initially opened the regular season on the Lions' practice squad after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but he caught on ahead of Week 1 due to a hamstring injury to Sione Vaki. Saylors managed to stick around on the active roster for the entire 2025 season, primarily serving on special teams and leading the Lions with 897 yards on 33 kickoff returns while adding two carries for 11 yards across 16 games. Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery figure to man the Lions' backfield for the foreseeable future, but the one-time UFL standout will be with Detroit during offseason activities and look to show the coaching staff enough progress to earn a larger role for himself in 2026.

Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Johnson is considered day-to-day due to an ankle injury, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.

Johnson presumably sustained the injury at some point in Sunday's 35-8 win over the Jets, but the ankle issue didn't get in the way of the veteran running back turning in his best fantasy performance of the season. With the Bills resting several key players Week 18 -- including lead back James Cook, who played just two snaps -- Johnson and fellow backup Ray Davis took full advantage of the extra opportunities afforded to them. Johnson carried 13 times for 36 yards -- both season highs -- and a touchdown and chipped in two catches for 20 yards and another score on two targets. Assuming he can move past the ankle injury in advance of Sunday's wild-card game in Jacksonville, Johnson should continue to fill an important change-of-pace role behind Cook, though Johnson likely won't come close to matching the touch volume he received in the regular-season finale.

Spears rushed the ball three times for 18 yards in Sunday's 41-7 loss to the Jaguars. He added seven receptions (on seven targets) for nine yards.

Tony Pollard dominated rushing attempts for Tennessee, tallying 14 compared to Spears' three. Spears did serve as a favorite checkdown option for fill-in QB Brandon Allen, but that resulted in little production. Injuries and a poor offensive environment derailed Spears' third year as a pro, as his 291 rushing yards across 13 regular-season games were the fewest of his career. He'll presumably enter the final year of his rookie contract in a backup role to Pollard in 2026.

The Bengals signed Brightwell to a reserve/future contract Monday.

Brightwell spent the entire 2025 regular season on the Bengals' practice squad after failing to make the team's 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He was elevated to the active roster for Weeks 12 and 13 against the Patriots and Ravens, respectively, and over those two games he returned four kickoffs for 83 yards. Brightwell will participate in offseason activities with the Bengals and look to compete for a spot on the active roster for the 2026 campaign.

Hunter recorded 22 snaps on special teams over five games during the 2025 regular season.

A fourth-round pick out of Auburn, Hunter's progress was stalled by the emergence of Blake Corum as the complement to veteran Kyren Williams in the Rams' backfield. The duo combined for a 404-1,998-16 rushing line over the 2025 campaign, leaving little room for Hunter or Ronnie Rivers to produce. Corum and Williams are signed through 2028 and 2029 respectively, meaning Hunter is unlikely to see much improvement in his situation in 2026, even with Rivers possibly leaving as an unrestricted free agent.

Vaki rushed the ball one time for four yards while also adding 39 kickoff-return yards during the 2025 regular season.

Vaki logged two total offensive snaps during his sophomore campaign with the Lions, operating as a distant depth option behind Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery in the backfield. The running back was an intriguing asset as a fourth-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, but with both Gibbs and Montgomery under contract for next season, his upside will once again be limited greatly.

Rivers returned four kickoffs for 107 yards during Sunday's 37-20 victory against the Cardinals.

Kyren Williams and Blake Corum became a formidable duo in 2025, combining for 404 carries, 1,998 yards on the ground and 16 touchdowns. This didn't leave much for Rivers, who finished his fourth year with the Rams with just 46 yards on nine carries over 11 games. Rivers did return 16 kicks for 418 yards, but the return role was a fairly even split with Corum, Jordan Whittington (knee) and Xavier Smith. With the Rams securely set with Williams, Corum and 2025 fourth-round pick Jarquez Hunter in the backfield, Rivers, who will be an unrestricted free agent at season's end, may test free agency to find a more secure role elsewhere. He'll next take on Carolina on Saturday in the wild-card round of the playoffs.

The Colts signed Bentley to a reserve/future contract Monday.

The rookie out of Ole Miss spent all but Week 1 on the Colts' practice squad during the 2025 season, where he had two snaps on offense, including one rushing attempt. Bentley is expected to compete for a reserve role in the Colts' backfield as the team prepares to start offseason activities.
