Davidson was signed to the Vikings' active roster Saturday, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Davidson was selected in the fifth round of the 2021 Draft and has yet to play an NFL game. With Chris Herndon possibly out Sunday against the Bears due to COVID, Davidson will get a chance to provide depth at tight end Sunday.

Kelce recorded four receptions on five targets for 34 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 28-24 win over Denver.

Kelce was involved early in the game, as he capped Kansas City's opening drive with a three-yard touchdown reception. Otherwise, he was limited in impact, though he did log a pair of 12-yard catches. Though Kelce has been limited to under 50 receiving yards in four of his last five games, he's also also found the end zone on four occasions in his last three contests. All told, Kelce closes the regular season having topped 1,000 yards for the seventh consecutive season, though it was his worst production since 2017.

Wells was elevated from the Cardinals' practice squad Saturday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Wells was also elevated in Week 17 with Demetrius Harris (shoulder) sidelined. He was on the field for eight offensive snaps but did not command a target.

Helm was cut by the Raiders on Saturday.

Helm joined the Raiders in late October but will part ways with the organization ahead of Week 18. He played a minimal role during his time with the team.

Sullivan was signed to the active roster from the Panthers' practice squad Saturday, Darin Gantt of the team's official website reports.

The tight end was active for each of the Panthers' last two contests, failing to reel in his only target over 24 offensive snaps. Sullivan will operate as a reserve option behind Tommy Tremble and Ian Thomas as the Panthers wrap up their season Sunday against the Buccaneers.

Stoll (illness) remains on the reserve/COVID-19 list ahead of Saturday's game against the Cowboys, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

The same applies to Dallas Goedert (illness), with Tyree Jackson, Richard Rodgers and Noah Togiai available to handle the Eagles' tight end duties in Saturday's regular-season finale.

As does Jack Stoll (illness), which sets the stage for Tyree Jackson, Richard Rodgers and Noah Togiai to handle the Eagles' tight end duties Week 18. Goedert thus will look clear the NFL's COVID-19 protocols in advance of the team's postseason opener next weekend.

The Eagles elevated Togiai from their practice squad Saturday.

Togiai was activated from the practice squad COVID-19 list Tuesday after he tested positive for the virus last week. He'll serve as depth at tight end Saturday against the Cowboys since Dallas Goedert (illness) and Jack Stoll (illness) are sidelined.

Washington has placed Seals-Jones (concussion) on injured reserve.

No surprise here, as Seals-Jones was already ruled out for Washington's regular-season finale. With the team not in the playoff picture, his 2021 campaign has officially come to an end. He will end the year with 30 receptions for 271 yards and two touchdowns. The 26-year-old is set to become an unrestricted free agent in the offseason.

Waller (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Chargers, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

Waller seemed to be closing in on a Week 17 return following his bout with a strained IT band, but he landed on the reserve/COVID-19 list instead due to a positive test for the virus last Wednesday. He cleared league protocols this Wednesday and logged three limited sessions after that, but his status remains up in the air this weekend. Interim coach Rich Basaccia said a decision on Waller will depend on "where his cardio is" and "the reps that he gets" in practice, seemingly giving him a chance to play for the first time since Thanksgiving Day at Dallas. When it comes to considering the tight end in lineups, though, the Raiders are playing in the last game in the Week 18 slate, with a kickoff of 8:20 p.m. ET on Sunday, making it difficult to pivot to another option if Waller misses a sixth consecutive outing.
