Jimmy Holiday WR | KC
Chiefs' Jimmy Holiday: Reverts to PS, inks future deal
Holiday reverted to the Chiefs' practice squad and signed a reserve/future contract with Kansas City on Monday, Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com reports.
Holiday was elevated to the Chiefs' active roster for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Raiders, when he played one of 64 offensive snaps without showing up on the box score otherwise. He'll be on the Chiefs' 90-man roster during the offseason and will look to do enough during OTAs, minicamp and training camp to earn a spot on the team's 53-man roster for the 2026 season.

Elijah Cooks WR | NO
Saints' Elijah Cooks: Staying in NOLA on future deal
The Saints signed Cooks to a reserve/future contract Monday.

He managed to catch on with the Saints' practice squad in early December but was not elevated to the active roster. Cooks will spend the offseason with the Saints and participate in offseason activities, with the hopes of showing the coaching staff enough to earn a spot on the active roster for 2026.

Vikings' Joaquin Davis: Staying in Minnesota
The Vikings signed Davis to a reserve/future contract Monday.

The undrafted rookie out of North Carolina Central did not appear in a regular-season game in 2025, but he'll stay with the Vikings and participate in offseason activities in 2026.

Vikings' Dontae Fleming: Inks future deal with Minnesota
The Vikings signed Fleming to a reserve/future contract Monday.
Fleming joined the Vikings as an undrafted free agent in April and spent the entire 2025 season on the team's practice squad after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He was not elevated to the active roster for his rookie season, but Fleming will stick around with the organization and participate in offseason activities with an eye toward making the roster for the 2026 campaign.

Vikings' Jeshaun Jones: Reverts to PS, inks future deal

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.
