The Cardinals signed Smith-Marsette to a reserve/future deal Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Smith-Marsette spent the 2025 season as a member of the Giants' practice squad and was not elevated for any games. The return specialist played in 15 games for the Giants during the 2024 campaign, logging 381 kick return yards and 228 punt return yards over 135 special-teams snaps.

Thielen announced on social media Wednesday that he is retiring from the NFL, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

In his last NFL campaign, Thielen played in 16 regular-season games (11 with the Vikings and five with the Steelers), combining for 19 catches (on 35 targets) for 186 yards in that span. The 35-year-old wideout, who originally entered the league with the Vikings after going undrafted out of Minnesota State in 2013, thus finishes up his NFL career -- which included two Pro Bowl selections -- with a 704/8,497/64 receiving line in 178 regular-season outings.

Jaguars GM James Gladstone confirmed Wednesday that Hunter (knee) will remain a two-way player in 2026 but implied that the wide receiver/cornerback is likely to see more playing time on defense during the upcoming season, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

Gladstone noted that Hunter's rehab program is progressing "as expected," after the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft required season-ending surgery Nov. 11 to address a torn LCL in his right knee. Hunter looks on track to be ready for the start of the Jaguars' offseason program, which will be a pivotal one as he prepares to see increased time on the defensive side of the ball in 2026. In his seven appearances as a rookie, Hunter was on the field for 67 percent of the team's offensive snaps compared to only 36 percent of the defensive snaps, but Gladstone cited the Jaguars' positional needs (based on looming expiring contracts) as a primary factor in wanting the 22-year-old to get more exposure to cornerback. Shortly before Hunter got hurt, the Jaguars acquired Jakobi Meyers from the Raiders at the trade deadline and then signed him to an extension, and Parker Washington also emerged as a trusted slot man late in the season to complement Meyers and 2024 first-round pick Brian Thomas on the outside. A healthy Hunter is still likely to factor into the equation at receiver in some capacity next season, but because the wideout room already looks like an area of relative strength for Jacksonville, he could be headed for a steep reduction in reps on offense in what would obviously represent a negative development for his fantasy prospects.

Davis caught two passes (on three targets) for 10 yards, logged 484 yards on 18 kick returns and 77 yards on 11 punt returns over 11 regular-season games for the Chargers in 2025.

Davis finished the 2025 campaign by turning four kickoff returns into 100 yards during the Chargers' AFC wild-card round loss to the Patriots on Sunday. The third-year pro was limited to a return role in 2025 while buried on the wide receiver depth chart behind the likes of Ladd McConkey, Keenan Allen, Quentin Johnston and rookie second-rounder Tre' Harris. Davis is under contract with the Chargers in 2026 and will likely serve as the team's returner unless an expanded role on offense emerges over the offseason.

The Chargers signed Jackson to a reserve/futures contract Tuesday.

Jackson will be a member of the Chargers' 90-man roster once the NFL offseason officially begins Feb. 9, which gives him the opportunity to participate in OTAs and minicamp. He was a member of the Chargers' practice squad for the entire 2025 season after he was unable to crack the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. Jackson has yet to appear in a regular-season game since entering the league in April of 2024 as an undrafted free agent.

The Chargers signed Campbell to a reserve/future contract Tuesday.

Campbell was part of the Panthers' active roster for the start of the regular season after he was waived by the Chargers at the end of training camp. He appeared in two regular-season games for Carolina before being let go in mid-October with an injury designation due to a hamstring issue. He got another opportunity with the Chargers on the practice squad, and while he didn't get a chance to suit up during the regular season or playoffs, he'll be a part of the Bolts' 90-man roster once the NFL offseason officially begins Feb. 9. That gives Campbell the opportunity to participate in offseason activities with the Chargers before training camp commences in July.

Samuel (elbow) was a full participant during Tuesday's walkthrough practice.

Samuel has been sidelined for the Bills' last eight games, including Sunday's wild-card win against the Jaguars, due to an elbow injury. His full participation Tuesday is an encouraging sign and puts Samuel on track to being activated from injured reserve ahead of Saturday's divisional-round game against the Broncos. The return would be timely, given that both Tyrell Shavers and Gabe Davis tore their ACLs against Jacksonville.

Pearsall (knee/ankle) was officially estimated as limited in Tuesday's walkthrough practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

The 49ers held a walkthrough session Tuesday, so Pearsall's activity level is only an estimate, but it appears he's ready to retake the practice field for the first time since Dec. 31. He's managing an ankle injury in addition to an aggravated PCL sprain in his right knee. With standout tight end George Kittle having suffered a season-ending Achilles tear during a wild-card win over Philadelphia, it would be a notable boost for the Niners' receiving corps if Pearsall is able to return for Saturday's divisional-round matchup with Seattle.

New England signed Sherfield to the practice squad Tuesday.

Sherfield appeared in 12 combined regular-season games between the Broncos and Cardinals in 2025, in which span he totaled three catches for 21 yards on five targets. The veteran wideout will now provide New England with additional depth in preparation for Sunday's divisional-round matchup against Houston.

The Packers signed Neyor to a reserve/future contract Tuesday.

Neyor will get a chance to remain in Green Bay to begin the 2026 offseason, allowing him to continue his development with the team. He spent the 2025 regular season on the Packers' practice squad and was elevated for the first time during Saturday's 31-27 wild-card loss to the Bears, in which he logged three offensive snaps without drawing a target.
