Jackson was signed to a reserve/future contract with the Vikings on Monday, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.

Jackson joined the Vikings' practice squad after being let go by the Rams during training camp. The Syracuse product will work to stick with Minnesota next season and earn an active roster spot.

Black signed a reserve/future contract with the Jets on Monday.

Black finished the season on the Jets' practice squad and was elevated to the active roster for the finale, and he caught one of two targets for 10 yards. He spent the first two months of the season on the Colts' practice squad before being cut and heading to New York in early December.

Miller secured his only target for nine yards and rushed twice for 43 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 41-17 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

The third-year speedster had been an afterthought in the offense over the last several weeks, but he was able to finally make an impact on the final Sunday of the regular season. Miller used his elite wheels on a fourth-quarter end-around that saw him speed up the right side of the field and then tightrope the sideline to get just over the pylon for the score. Miller saw all of nine targets in nine games this season, but considering the depleted nature of Tampa Bay's receiving corps heading into the postseason, there's a chance he'll see some opportunities behind the top trio of Mike Evans, Breshad Perriman and Tyler Johnson, especially if Cyril Grayson (hamstring) is sidelined for Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Eagles.

Moore signed a reserve/future contract with the Ravens on Monday.

Moore was on the Ravens' practice squad in 2021 for the second straight season and is still looking to make his NFL debut.

Johnson secured five of seven targets for 22 yards in the Buccaneers' 41-17 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

The second-year wideout was certainly busy, tying with Mike Evans for second on the team in targets behind Rob Gronkowski. However, Johnson averaged just 4.4 yards per catch, leading to a decidedly underwhelming fantasy day. Despite the modest output, it's worth noting Johnson logged one more target and as many catches as veteran Breshad Perriman, so he should be expected to enjoy a solid role in the air attack once again versus the Eagles in Sunday's wild-card matchup.

Moore was restored to the Packers' practice squad from the practice squad COVID-19 list Monday.

Moore spent a week in COVID-19 protocols, but he'll now be able to practice with the team again. He was with the active roster Week 17 and handled return duties. Whether or not he'll have a chance to reprise the role in the postseason now that he's healthy is not yet known.

Trammell was signed to a reserve/future contract with the Falcons on Monday, Scott Bair of the Falcons' official site reports.

Trammell spent most the season on the Falcons' practice squad, but he was with the active roster in Week 17 and 18. However, Trammell failed to tally any stats.

Arcega Whiteside was placed on injured reserve Monday and is scheduled to undergo finger surgery, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.

While Philadelphia was resting several key players for the Week 18 loss to the Cowboys, Arcega-Whiteside played a season-high 40 offensive snaps and failed to catch any of his three targets. After sitting out the requisite three games, Arcega-Whiteside will be eligible to play should the Eagles advance to the Super Bowl, but the recovery timeline for his surgery makes it unlikely he'll be available to play by then. The 25-year-old finished the 2021 campaign with two receptions for 36 yards on five targets over 16 games. His lack of production through his first three NFL seasons will likely put him on the roster bubble heading into 2022.

Saunders signed a reserve/future contract with the Panthers on Monday.

Saunders was elevated from the practice squad to the active for for Weeks 16 and 18, and he caught both his targets for 11 yards. It was the first action of his NFL career for the 25-year-old, who was initially a cornerback at Ohio State before transitioning to wide receiver.

Ford was not targeted during Miami's win over New England in Week 18.

Ford logged a career-high 13 appearances in 2021, but he was only targeted 17 times in that span. The soon-to-be 26-year-old turned those opportunities into 12 catches for 161 yards and two scores, and as he's now on track to hit free agency, Ford may have to search for his next depth role elsewhere.
