Jeshaun Jones WR | MIN
Vikings' Jeshaun Jones: Reverts to PS, inks future deal
Jones reverted to the Vikings' practice squad Monday and signed a reserve/future contract with Minnesota.
Jones was elevated to the Vikings' active roster for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Packers, when he played seven snaps on special teams and returned two punts for five yards in a 16-3 win. It was the first regular-season appearance for Jones since he entered the league as an undrafted free agent in April 2024. He's stuck around the Vikings organization over the last two seasons and will participate in offseason activities with the hope of earning a spot on the active roster for 2026.

Jacoby Jones WR | PIT
Commanders' Jacoby Jones: Inks future deal with Washington
The Commanders signed Jones to a future/reserve contract Monday.
Jones spent the entire 2025 campaign with Washington, appearing in one contest in Week 11 against the Dolphins and reeling in his only target for 25 yards over 11 offensive snaps. The wide receiver will now look to compete for a reserve role behind Terry McLaurin on the active roster in 2026.

Cooper Kupp WR | SEA
Seahawks' Cooper Kupp: Two catches in Week 18
Kupp caught two of three targets for 29 yards in Saturday's 13-3 win over the 49ers.
Kupp hasn't posted more than 50 receiving yards in a game since Week 10, and he has just two touchdowns through 17 regular-season games. Still, the veteran receiver ranks second on the team with 593 receiving yards, while Jaxon Smith-Njigba leads the way with a league-high 1,793 yards. Kupp's veteran experience should help the Seahawks in the playoffs, however, starting in the NFC divisional round after the bye week.

Ja'Corey Brooks WR | WAS
Commanders' Ja'Corey Brooks: Sticking around Washington
The Commanders signed Brooks (undisclosed) to a reserve/future contract Monday.
Brooks will stick around Washington after spending the 2025 campaign as a member of the practice squad. He was elevated for the Week 6 loss to the Bears, failing to record any stats over seven offensive snaps. The wide receiver also ended the year on the team's practice-squad injured list with an undisclosed injury, but he now appears to be healthy ahead of the offseason. With the new deal, Brooks will get the chance to train with the Commanders during the team's offseason activities prior to the 2026 season.

Rashid Shaheed WR | SEA
Seahawks' Rashid Shaheed: Mild impact in crucial win
Shaheed caught his lone target for two yards in Saturday's 13-3 win over the 49ers. He returned one kick for 34 yards and two punts for 30 yards.
Shaheed cleared concussion protocol in just six days, and he managed to handle a 46 percent snap share in the win. However, Shaheed didn't draw Sam Darnold's attention much. He has just two catches (three targets) for 10 yards over the last three weeks, and he has recorded more than eight receiving yards just three times through nine games with the Seahawks. It's tough to pinpoint when Shaheed will break off a big play, making him a frustrating fantasy option. His next chance to play will be in the NFC divisional round.

Hal Presley WR | TEN
Titans' Hal Presley: Signs future deal with Tennessee
The Titans signed Presley to a reserve/future contract Monday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Presley caught on with the Titans' practice squad in late October after being cut by the Chiefs in mid-September. The undrafted free agent did not appear in a regular-season game in his rookie year, but he'll participate in offseason activities with Tennessee and aim to crack the active roster for the 2026 campaign.

Xavier Restrepo WR | TEN
Titans' Xavier Restrepo: Staying in Tennessee
Restrepo signed a reserve/future contract with the Titans on Monday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Restrepo was not selected by a team during the 2025 NFL Draft, but he opted to follow University of Miami teammate and No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward to the Titans. Restrepo stuck around on the practice squad after failing to crack the 53-man roster at the end of training camp and was elevated to the active roster for Weeks 12 and 13. He caught three passes (on seven targets) for 41 yards over that two-game span and demonstrated that collegiate chemistry with Ward, but Restrepo was carted off the field during the Titans' Week 13 loss to the Jaguars due to an ankle injury. Now healthy, Restrepo will have a whole offseason to develop his skill set and figures to be a long-shot candidate to make the Titans' 53-man roster for the 2026 season.

Chris Blair WR | ATL
Falcons' Chris Blair: Sticking around Atlanta
The Falcons signed Blair to a reserve/future contract Monday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official website reports.
Blair spent the entirety of the 2025 campaign as a member of the practice squad with Atlanta, appearing in three contests in December. The wide receiver played 12 snaps on offense in those games, failing to record any stats. Blair will now get an opportunity to train with the Falcons during the offseason, and he'll look to impress in order to attempt to get a shot with the active roster in 2026.

Phillip Dorsett WR | LV
Raiders' Phillip Dorsett: Inks future deal with Las Vegas
The Raiders signed Dorsett to a reserve/future contract Monday.
Dorsett signed to the Raiders' practice squad in early September after failing to make the team's 53-man roster at the end of training camp. His lone elevation to the active roster came in Week 17 against the Giants, but he ended up being a healthy scratch for that contest. The veteran wide receiver has not appeared in a regular-season game since 2023, but he'll participate in offseason activities with the Raiders in the hopes of earning a spot on the active roster for 2026.
