The Jaguars signed Moore to a reserve/future contract Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Moore was waived by the Giants ahead of the 53-man roster deadline and quickly landed a practice-squad deal with Jacksonville. He never made any appearances during the regular season, but with his new contract, he'll be able to stick around the Jaguars' organization and compete for a larger role during the offseason.

The Bills signed Johnson to a reserve/future contract Monday, Chris Brown of the team's official site reports.

Johnson caught 36 passes for 360 yards over the first two seasons of his career with Arizona. The 26-year-old then was waived ahead of the 2021 season, and he spent time with numerous teams over the past two years before landing with the Bills' practice squad Oct. 11. Johnson, who hasn't appeared in a game since 2020, now will look to carve out a reserve role with Buffalo heading into the 2023 campaign.

The Jaguars signed Austin to a reserve/future contract Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Austin spent the entire 2022 campaign on the Jaguars' practice squad. With his new contract, he'll be able to stick around the organization and have a chance to compete for a larger role during the offseason.

The Jaguars signed Williams to a reserve/future contract Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Williams signed with the Jaguars' practice squad after being waived by Denver ahead of the initial 53-man roster deadline. He spent the entire campaign with Jacksonville but wasn't elevated for any games. With his new contract, he'll be able to stick around the organization and compete for a roster spot during the offseason.

Dallas signed Drummond to a reserve/future contract Monday, Jori Epstein of Yahoo Sports reports.

Drummond spent the entire 2022 campaign on the Cowboys' practice squad and was never elevated to the active roster. With his new deal, he'll be able to stick around Dallas' organization and compete for a roster spot during the offseason.

The Steelers signed Chisena to a reserve/future contract Monday.

Chisena signed a practice-squad deal with the Vikings after failing to make the team's initial 53-man roster and saw two elevations during the 2022 campaign, though 24 of his 26 snaps during those contests came on special teams. Minnesota didn't sign him to a reserve/future contract after being eliminated from the playoffs, making the third-year wideout a free agent. With his new deal, he'll be able to join the Steelers' organization and compete for a roster spot during the offseason.

Boyd had just one catch on two targets for 23 yards in the Bengals' win over the Bills on Sunday.

That catch came on the team's opening drive and was a big play to help get the Bengals offense going, but more was expected from Boyd, given the attrition in the Bills secondary and that he scored in the Week 17 truncated game. The Bengals face the Chiefs next in the AFC Championship Game this coming Sunday, and Boyd has had exactly four catches in each of the three games the Bengals have played against them the last two years.

Coach Doug Pederson said Monday "we feel strongly" that Ridley (suspension) will be reinstated this offseason, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Pederson's comments confirm that Ridley's progress toward a return to football activities is proceeding as expected. The wideout is eligible to apply for reinstatement beginning Feb. 15, and provided that the NFL approves him for a return to league activities, the 28-year-old's first tangible contact with the Jaguars could come this offseason, as early as April 17. Ridley was suspended at least the entire 2022 season as the result of him betting on NFL games during a five-day stretch in November 2021, and he hasn't seen the field since. Jacksonville traded the Falcons conditional 2023 and 2024 draft picks to acquire Ridley in November.

Brown tweaked his left hip in Saturday's 38-7 win over the Giants in the divisional round, but he told the Eagles training and coaching staffs that he'll be fine moving forward, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Because the Eagles raced out to a 28-0 halftime lead, Brown was afforded some rest late in the contest and finished the victory with three catches for 22 yards on six targets while playing 51 of 69 snaps on offense (73.9 percent). The hip issue doesn't look to be anything that will affect Brown's availability for the NFC Championship Game matchup with the 49ers this coming Sunday, but Brown could have his reps managed early on during the practice week as a precaution. By the time Sunday arrives, however, Brown should be ready to handle a full workload as the Eagles aim to return to the Super Bowl for the second time in six seasons.

Aiyuk had two receptions (four targets) for 26 yards in Sunday's 19-12 playoff win over the Cowboys.

Aiyuk turned in one of his worst statistical performances of the year, tying his season-low in receptions (two) while garnering his second-lowest target total (four). The 24-year-old has fallen out of favor in the playoffs with Deebo Samuel, George Kittle and Christian McCaffrey dominating recent box scores. That being said, Aiyuk still possesses the fantasy potential to warrant consideration in DFS formats for the upcoming NFC Championship Game against the Eagles next Sunday.
