The Jets signed Taylor to a reserve/future contract Monday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Taylor was placed on Green Bay's IR with an undisclosed injury in mid-August before being waived with an injury settlement Sept. 15. The 27-year-old then spent the majority of the season unsigned before joining the Jets' practice squad Dec. 29. Taylor caught seven of 13 targets for 80 yards and a touchdown across 25 games during the previous two seasons with the Packers. He'll now look to make an impression with the Jets this offseason.

Agnew caught his lone target for eight yards, returned four kickoffs for 125 yards and two punts for 33 yards during Saturday's 20-16 win against the Titans.

Agnew played just seven offensive snaps Saturday and caught exactly one pass for the third consecutive contest. The 27-year-old has worked as a gadget player in Jacksonville's offense this year and has 23 catches for 187 yards and three touchdowns plus 12 carries for 86 yards. He should remain in that role for the playoffs and for 2023, which is the final year of his contract.

The Bears signed Webster to a reserve/future contract Monday, Larry Mayer of the team's official site reports.

Webster was waived as part of Chicago's final roster cuts in late August before quickly re-joining via the practice squad. The fourth-year wideout then remained idle on the practice squad before being elevated in back-to-back games Week 15 and 16, recording the first two receptions of his career over during this span. Webster has now appeared in eight games over the past two seasons for the Bears, and he'll likely compete for another depth and special-teams role heading into the 2023 season.

The Rams signed Roberson to a reserve/future contract Monday.

Roberson will stick with the Rams after signing with the team's practice squad Dec. 1. The 24-year-old was presumably brought on to provide depth for the team's injury-riddled wide receiver corps, though he was never elevated from the practice squad before the end of the season. Roberson has now spent the first two years of his career bouncing between practice squads, and he'll once again look to secure a spot on the active roster heading into the 2023 season.

The Rams signed Sterns to a reserve/future contract Monday.

Sterns signed with Tampa Bay as an undrafted free agent in May 2022, though he was let go as part of the team's final roster cuts in August. The 5-foot-9 wideout then went unsigned before joining the Rams' practice squad Dec. 22. Sterns will now look to make his NFL debut heading into the 2023 campaign.

Jones caught four of six targets for 21 yards during Saturday's 20-16 win over the Titans.

Jones had a slow finish to the regular season with just eight receptions for 59 yards across the past three games. Still, it was a successful first year in Jacksonville for the 27-year-old, and he closed the regular season with career highs in receptions (82) and receiving yards (823). He should continue to work as the Jags' No. 2 wideout for the playoffs.

The Raiders signed Lacy to a future/reserve contract Monday.

Lacy was initially waived by Las Vegas after spending about two weeks with the team this preseason, and he re-joined the team via the practice squad in mid-August. The 6-foot-3 wideout was then elevated ahead of Saturday's regular-season finale against Kansas City, though he ultimately did not see the field. Lacy was one of 13 players to sign a reserve/future contract with the Raiders on Monday, so he'll likely compete with DJ Turner and Isaiah Zuber for a depth role heading into the 2023 season.

The Raiders signed Zuber to a reserve/future contract Monday.

Zuber spent the preseason with Las Vegas before being let go as part of the team's final roster cuts in late August. The 25-year-old then spent the entirety of the season on the practice squad, and he has still not played in an NFL game since the 2020 season. Zuber will now look to work his way onto the active roster heading into the 2023 campaign.

The Lions signed Alexander (ankle) to a reserve/future contract Monday, Tim Twentyman of the team's official site reports.

Alexander moved back and forth between Detroit's active roster and practice squad over the first half of the season. The 25-year-old then picked up an ankle injury while making his third and final appearance of the season against Miami in Week 8. Alexander thus finished the 2022 campaign with one reception for seven yards over four appearances, and he'll now look to carve out a permanent spot on the active roster heading into the 2023 campaign.

Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that he'd "be very surprised" if Waddle (ankle) is unable to play Sunday against the Bills, Adam H. Beasley of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Waddle finished Sunday's regular-season finale with five receptions for 44 yards, but he appears to have picked up an ankle injury as well. He played 75 percent of Miami's offensive snaps during the win over the Jets, which is right around his season average, so it doesn't appear like the injury limited him Week 18 or will impact his availability for the wild-card round. However, more clarity on Waddle's status may become available when the Dolphins release their next injury report, which won't come until Wednesday.
