The Steelers signed White to a reserve/future contract Thursday.

White spent time with the Broncos and Giants last offseason, but he's still looking for a chance to make his NFL debut. The former Michigan State standout will continue his development in Pittsburgh this offseason.

St. Brown (knee) is not listed on Thursday's injury report, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

St. Brown had his practice reps capped due to a lingering knee injury this week as usual, but he's all set for Saturday's NFC divisional-round matchup against the Rams. He'll handle his usual offensive role behind Davante Adams, Allen Lazard and Marquez Valdes-Scantling.

Godwin (hip/quadriceps) was a limited practice participant Thursday, John DeShazier of the Saints' official site reports.

With no indication either of his injuries is serious, Godwin should be ready for Sunday's game in New Orleans. The Saints limited him to nine catches for 120 yards on 13 targets in two regular-season matchups, but Godwin approaches the weekend with a four-game TD streak.

Evans (knee) was a limited practice participant Thursday, John DeShazier of the Saints' official site reports.

Back-to-back limited practices put Evans ahead of where he was last week. He logged just one limited session leading up to Tampa Bay's win over Washington, ultimately catching six passes for 119 yards while playing 84 percent of defensive snaps. There's little reason to think he'd miss the game against New Orleans this Sunday, hoping to remedy his poor track record against the Saints. Evans has averaged only 51.4 yards per game in 13 career matchups, struggling against top CB Marshon Lattimore the past couple seasons.

Kupp (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's playoff game in Green Bay, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Kupp played through the same injury last week, catching four of nine targets for 78 yards while playing 86 percent of offensive snaps in the 30-20 win over Seattle. He appears on track to play again, with coach Sean McVay noting Wednesday that he expects the wide receiver to be ready by Sunday.

Beasley (knee) practiced on a limited basis for the third straight time Thursday but does not have an injury designation for Saturday's game against the Ravens, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

The valuable slot receiver is clearly playing below 100 percent, but it's also pretty much a certainty that he'll be out there Saturday for the primetime Saturday night matchup.

Diggs (oblique) practiced fully Thursday and doesn't have an injury designation for Saturday's game against the Ravens, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

Diggs is probably the most important player for the Bills after Josh Allen, and he looks like he'll be close to 100 percent for Buffalo this weekend in its biggest game in over two decades.

Hodge was activated Thursday from the reserve/COVID-19 list, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Hodge got two targets on 42 percent snap share in the Browns' Week 17 win over Pittsburgh before landing on the COVID list for a rematch in the wild-card round. Rookie wideout Donovan Peoples-Jones then took 69 percent of snaps in the 48-37 win last week, catching one of two targets for eight yards. It isn't clear which of the two wide receivers will handle the No. 3 role this Sunday in Kansas City, and it's possible they share snaps behind starters Jarvis Landry and Rashard Higgins.

Olszewski finished the 2020 season with five catches (on five targets) for 62 yards and a TD and five carries for 23 yards in 13 games.

While Olszewski didn't see much work in the Patriots offense this past season, he did make quite a mark as a returner, fielding 18 kickoffs for 418 yards and 20 punts for 346 yards and a TD. His strong effort in that department led to the 24-year-old being selected to the AP 2020 All-Pro First Team as a special teamer. Olszewski is under contract with New England through 2021and should thus reprise his role in the return game this coming season. Whether he sees more opportunities as a pass catcher, however, hinges largely on the team's offseason moves at the wide receiver position.

Erickson had one catch on three targets in the Bengals' season-ending loss to the Ravens, closing out the season with only 12 catches for 139 yards and no touchdowns.

It's a fitting close for Erickson, who was unable to break through with many big plays and in fact committed a couple of costly fumbles on the season. He'll be a free agent this offseason, and there's no guarantee that he'll return.
