The NFL announced Monday that Ridley has been fully reinstated from his indefinite suspension, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Ridley was suspended indefinitely for gambling on the NFL while away from the Falcons during the 2021 season. He was acquired by the Jaguars last season at the trade deadline and gets a fresh start in Jacksonville, where he'll likely fill the role vacated by Marvin Jones, who is a free agent this month. Ridley will slide in opposite Zay Jones on the outside, leaving Christian Kirk in the slot. Ridley is now 28 years old and hasn't played in a game since October 2021, so initial expectations should be held in check as the 2018 first-rounder is introduced to his new team's offense, helmed by QB Trevor Lawrence.

The Rams have given Robinson (foot) permission Monday to seek a trade, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Los Angeles is even reportedly willing to take on a portion of the 29-year-old wideout's $15.25 million guaranteed salary to help get a trade done, per Pelissero. Robinson, who missed the last seven games of the 2022 season due to a foot injury, logged just a 33-339-3 receiving line on 52 targets across 10 games in his debut season with the Rams, after having put up 38-410-1 in 12 contests with the Bears back in 2021. Robinson's chances of a career revival at this point may depend on finding a quality landing spot for a fresh start.

Cobb recently underwent ankle surgery, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.

The surgery was to "clean out the back of his ankle," according to Rapoport. The 32-year-old Cobb caught 34 passes for 417 yards and one touchdown on 50 targets across 13 games for the Packers last season. He's scheduled to be a free agent later this month. It's unclear at this point if Cobb plans to keep playing in 2023.

The Commanders signed Kemp on Friday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

Kemp will now reunite with Washington's newly hired offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, as the two had previously spent five seasons together in Kansas City. The 27-year-old wide receiver has primarily operated as a depth option since entering the league back in 2017, and given the Commanders' current depth at the position, it looks as if he'll once again mainly serve as special-teams contributor in 2023.

Broncos head coach George Paton said Tuesday that Patrick (knee) will be 100 percent for the start of the 2023 campaign, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Patrick suffered a torn ACL during an August practice last year and underwent season-ending surgery before the 2022 campaign began. However, the undrafted wideout out of Utah has made significant strides in his rehab and is currently able to do some running. Patrick still has a few hurdles to clear before he's completely out of the rehab stage, but it appears Russell Wilson will have one of his top wideouts back in the fold to start 2023, which could go a long way in helping the Broncos' offense bounce back after a poor first season with Wilson in town.

Moore finished his rookie campaign with 22 receptions on 33 targets for 250 receiving yards across 16 regular-season appearances. He added three rushes for 24 rushing yards and operated as a kick- and punt-returner in 2022.

Moore caught five passes in back-to-back games during Weeks 11 and 12, totaling 99 receiving yards during that stretch, but he was also held without a catch in six games and had only one reception five times during the regular season. Due to his lack of targets, Moore wasn't much of a factor in standard fantasy leagues despite Kansas City's lack of wideout depth, but he's still a core piece of the Chiefs' future and could make a sizable impact in Year 2 with Mecole Hardman and JuJu Smith-Schuster set for free agency this offseason. The rookie had at least one reception in each of his three playoff appearances, including a seven-target outing in the AFC Championship Game and a big touchdown in the Super Bowl.

The Colts signed Turner to a contract Thursday.

Turner appeared in three games with the 49ers last season, but he wasn't targeted. He also spent time on the Texans' and Raiders' practice squads. The five-year veteran will now compete to carve out a depth and special-teams role in Indianapolis.

The Titans will release Woods on Wednesday, Jordan Schultz of TheScore.com reports.

Woods' release will save Tennessee roughly $12 million in cap space. The team is also releasing three-time Pro Bowl left tackle Taylor Lewan (knee), who was limited to just two games in 2022 before suffering an ACL tear. Woods, who will turn 31 in April, played a full 17-game slate in 2022. He secured 53 of 91 targets for 527 yards and two scores, and his average of 9.9 yards per reception was the worst such mark of his 10-year NFL career.

Hardman (groin) announced via his personal Twitter account that he underwent groin surgery in Philadelphia on Tuesday.

Hardman returned from his lingering groin injury during the AFC Championship Game, but he subsequently aggravated the issue and was ultimately sidelined for Kansas City's win over the Eagles in Super Bowl LVII. The looming free agent was limited to eight regular-season games with the Chiefs in 2022, in which he secured 25 of 34 targets for yards and four touchdowns. Hardman also had four carries for 31 yards and two scores and contributed in the return game.

Toure was targeted 10 times and caught five passes for 82 yards and a touchdown over 11 games in the 2022 season.

Toure made only a minimal impact in his rookie season, but the seventh-rounder did spend the entire campaign on the 53-man roster and made a couple plays around the midway point. He will have a chance to carve out a role as a sophomore, but he will find himself behind fellow youngsters Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs, and likely at least another player or two.
