The Lions signed Horton to a reserve/future contract Monday.

Horton reverted to the Lions' practice squad Monday after playing three snaps on offense and three snaps with the special-teams unit in Sunday's 19-16 win over the Bears. The tight end appeared in two games this season with Detroit, failing to log any stats in either contest. Horton will now be given a chance to prove himself with the team during their offseason training activities ahead of the 2026 campaign.

Grandy (chest) and the Bengals agreed on a one-year contract extension Monday.

Grandy appeared in five contests during the regular season, catching both of his targets for seven yards while playing 28 snaps on offense. With Mike Gesicki and Drew Sample both under contract for 2026, Grandy will compete to operate as the team's No. 3 option at tight end next season.

The Browns signed Prieskorn to a reserve/future contract Monday.

Prieskorn signed to Cleveland's practice squad in late October after being cut by Tampa Bay. The 26-year-old did not appear in a game this season. The Ole Miss product will participate in the Bowns' offseason activities, and he is expected to compete for a spot on their active roster next season.

The Browns signed Cannella to a reserve/future contract Monday.

Cannella was elevated for both of Cleveland's final two games of the season as additional help at tight end, where he played 35 total snaps (29 offensive and six on special teams), catching two passes for 11 yards on five targets. The 29-year-old will participate in the Browns' offseason activities and attempt to earn a spot on their active roster next season.

Firkser caught eight of 10 targets for 53 yards over seven contests during the 2025 regular season.

Firkser signed with the Lions' practice squad in mid-November and was quickly elevated to the active roster ahead of the team's Week 12 matchup with the Giants due to Sam LaPorta (back) being sidelined. The tight end's role quickly expanded after Brock Wright (neck) went down for the year in Week 13, and Firkser ultimately caught at least one pass in four of the seven games he appeared in with the team. Prior to this season, Firkser hadn't reeled in a pass since the 2022 campaign, and he'll now be a free agent heading into the offseason.

Zylstra caught three of five targets for 20 yards over six games during the 2025 regular season.

Zylstra opened the season as the Lions' No. 3 option at tight end behind Sam LaPorta (back) and Brock Wright (neck), but due to injuries, he became relevant in the final few weeks. The tight end missed nearly three months of action himself from early September to Dec. 14 due to injury, but even when healthy, he went without a target in five of six games this season. Zylstra will now enter the offseason as a free agent, and he'll likely have a limited market for his talents in 2026.

Smith secured one of two targets for two yards while rushing once for two yards during Sunday's 26-24 win over Baltimore.

Smith tied his season-high mark with five receptions during last week's loss to the Browns, but he wasn't as involved in the passing game Week 18 while playing 44 percent of the team's offensive snaps. Although Darnell Washington (forearm, IR) will remain sidelined to begin the playoffs, Smith is unlikely to be a reliable contributor for Pittsburgh during postseason play. Smith hauled in just 38 of 54 targets for 222 yards and two touchdowns and rushed nine times for 70 yards and a score while appearing in all 17 games during the regular season.

Head coach Sean McVay said Monday that Ferguson (hamstring) is expected to be back for Saturday's wild-card matchup against the Panthers, Cameron DaSilva of Rams Wire reports.

Ferguson missed Week 18 after tweaking his hamstring in practice Friday, but he is expected to play in the Rams' wild-card round matchup against the Panthers. The 22-year-old played 429 total snaps (356 offensive and 73 on special teams) in 14 games, recording11 receptions for 231 yards and three touchdowns.

Allen failed to secure his only target during Sunday's 37-20 victory against the Cardinals.

It was the second straight week without a catch for Allen, who watched Tyler Higbee return from an ankle injury and post five catches for 91 yards and a touchdown, while Colby Parkinson pitched in with four catches for 36 yards and two touchdowns of his own. Allen and rookie Terrance Ferguson (hamstring) are firmly in the second tier of the Rams tight-end corps heading into the postseason, but Allen's performance in his third year in the league was a fair step up from his first two despite a disappointing final two performances. A 24-208-3 receiving line this year was well ahead of his combined 16-134-1 line from his first two years in the league, and with Higbee set to be a free agent after the season, Allen's role could increase even further in the final year of his rookie contract. The quartet of Rams' tight ends will take on Carolina in the wild-card round on Saturday.

Sinnott caught both of his targets for three yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over Philadelphia.

The 2024 second-round pick finishes his second NFL season with a 11-114-1 line on 13 targets. Sinnott played more than 50 percent of offensive snaps in each of the final four games, catching seven of nine targets for 73 yards during that stretch. The Commanders likely are in need of a new starting tight end with Zach Ertz recovering from an ACL tear and scheduled for free agency, but Sinnott hasn't shown much of anything to suggest he can be that player. There's still late-breakout argument, depending on Washington's offseason moves in the coming months.
