Mims signed a reserve/future contract with the Steelers on Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official website reports.

Mims joined Pittsburgh's practice unit in October, failing to appear in a game during the 2023 campaign. The wide receiver will now stick around for the offseason and attempt to crack the team's initial 53-man roster ahead of the 2024 season.

The Colts signed Bynum to a reserve/future contract Wednesday.

Bynum played one offensive snap for the Chargers during the 2023 season, failing to register a statistic. He closed out the season on Los Angeles' practice squad and will look for a new opportunity in Indianapolis.

Reed (chest) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice.

Reed was also listed as limited on Tuesday's estimated practice report, so the wideout will have one more chance to upgrade to full participation ahead of Saturday's divisional-round playoff game against the 49ers. In Green Bay's 48-32 wild-card win over the Cowboys this past Sunday, Reed logged 26 of 56 snaps on offense and was held without a catch on three targets.

Watson (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice.

Watson returned for Green Bay's wild-card win over Dallas after missing the final five games of the regular season, though he played only 41 percent of his team's snaps on offense and was targeted just once. While the limited workload likely was related to his prolonged absence, the Packers' impressive depth at wide receiver may also have been a factor. As such, Watson is no lock to return to his pre-injury role even if he continues to practice and avoid setbacks ahead of Saturday's divisional-round game in San Francisco.

Toney (hip/ankle) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Toney, who last suited up for the Chiefs' 27-17 win over the Patriots on Dec. 17, also practiced in a limited fashion last week, but he was subsequently made inactive for Saturday's wild-card win over the Dolphins. With another limited session in the books Wednesday, Toney appears to have a chance to return to action in Sunday's divisional round playoff game against the Bills.

Flowers (calf) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Flowers' ability to take every rep Wednesday confirms the general feeling that the wideout was never in danger of missing Saturday's divisional-round game against Houston. He probably would have been able to play in the Ravens' Week 18 loss to the Steelers and in the wild-card round if he had been needed, but now that he's had some extra time to heal up from the calf injury, Flowers should be ready to serve as the No. 1 receiver this weekend against the Texans. Quarterback Lamar Jackson may even have his full complement of receiving weapons, as tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) also managed a full practice Wednesday and appears to be a strong candidate to be activated from injured reserve ahead of the playoff opener.

Woods (hip) remained a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Woods was also deemed limited in Tuesday's session, but at this stage, the Texans haven't suggested that the wideout will miss Saturday's divisional-round game against the Ravens. Thursday's injury report will clarify whether Woods heads into the weekend with a designation or is fully cleared to play.

Godwin (knee) was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

During the Buccaneers' 32-9 wild-card win over the Eagles on Monday, Godwin logged 51 of 70 snaps on offense en route to catching four of his five targets for 45 yards and a touchdown. Now that the wideout is opening the week as a non-participant in practice, however, his status is worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's divisional-round playoff game against the Lions.

Raymond (knee) didn't practice Wednesday.

Per Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, head coach Dan Campbell said Wednesday that Raymond's injured knee is improving, but the depth receiver and punt returner's status for Sunday's divisional-round game against the Buccaneers remains uncertain. Raymond seems unlikely to practice Thursday, but a return to the field Friday could set the stage for him to play Sunday.

Tillman (concussion) finished the 2023 season with 21 catches for 224 yards on 44 targets and added an eight-yard run.

Tillman dressed in 14 games as a rookie and took on a larger role down the stretch before missing last weekend's wild-card round playoff loss to the Texans due to a concussion. He's expected to be healthy for OTAs, and while the 2023 third-round draft pick out of Tennessee put up underwhelming numbers in his first NFL campaign, he could benefit from more stability at quarterback in his second season. Five quarterbacks started at least one game for the Browns in 2023: Deshaun Watson (shoulder), Dorian Thompson-Robinson (hip), PJ Walker, Joe Flacco and Jeff Driskel.
