St. Brown (knee) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's practice report.

St. Brown has been a regular on the injury report, but he's played in 10 straight games and should be fine again this week. The third-year wideout hasn't logged more than 18 offensive snaps in a game since the Week 12 win over the Bears. St. Brown should manage a similar role in the NFC divisional-round game against the Rams.

Lazard (core/wrist) was listed as limited on Tuesday's practice report.

With a week to rest up since the end of the regular season, Lazard continues to be hindered by a pair of injuries. He's still not quite 100 percent recovered from Oct. 1 core muscle surgery, while his wrist issue cropped up over the final two weeks of the campaign. The Packers have yet to unleash him since he returned Week 11 from a stint in IR, resulting in 20 catches (on 29 targets) for 197 yards and one touchdown over the last seven contests.

Beasley was listed as a limited participant Tuesday due to a knee injury.

The knee issue is what had Beasley as a major question mark entering Saturday's wild-card win over the Colts, yet he gutted it out and caught seven balls in the victory. Beasley didn't practice at all until late in the week last week, so this news bodes well for the team, even though the tough receiver is obviously playing banged up, and it's reportedly more than just the knee issue.

Diggs (oblique) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice.

Diggs dealt with the same injury last week, logging just one limited practice before catching six of nine targets for 128 yards and a touchdown in the 27-24 win over Indianapolis. He played 93 percent of snaps in the contest and should see a similar workload Saturday night against the Ravens.

Mickens returned two kickoffs for 26 yards and ran back two punts for an additional 16 yards in the Buccaneers' 31-23 wild-card win over Washington on Saturday night.

Mickens once again served as the Buccaneers' full-time returner in the win, but he remained nearly absent from the offense while logging just three snaps from scrimmage. Mickens' role is expected to remain the same in Sunday evening's divisional-round matchup against the Saints.

Thompson secured a future contract with Seattle on Monday, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

Thompson is yet to make his NFL debut, but after a successful final collegiate season at Toledo, the receiver will hopefully see the field in the upcoming year. With the Seahawks current list of talented receivers, it is likely Thompson will serve as a depth option.

Hart secured a future contract with the Seahawks on Monday, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

Hart spent the 2020 season being bumped on and off the active roster, seeing action in 13 regular-season games overall and catching his only target for three yards. It will likely take a few injuries to players in front of him before the 24-year-old receiver will grow into a larger role.

Humphrey reverted to the Saints' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Humphrey finished third among Saints' wide receivers with 45 snaps on offense (54 percent) in Sunday's wild-card win over the Bears, although he was held to just one 14-yard reception on his lone target. The Saints put a lot of trust in Humphrey for a playoff game, so he stands a good chance to be elevated from the practice squad for the NFC divisional-round game against the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Dorsett (foot) didn't play a game during the 2020 season.

Dorsett suffered a right foot injury during training camp and eventually underwent surgery to remove bone spurs from the injured foot in November. The 2015 first-round pick never suited up as a result, but head coach Pete Carroll relayed that he wants to bring Dorsett back next year, according to Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times. Dorsett would be yet another burner at Russell Wilson's disposal, as he heavily targeted both DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett in 2020. The 28-year-old wideout will officially become a free agent in March if the two sides can't reach a deal.

Pettis caught two passes for 43 yards and a touchdown in the Giants' regular-season finale.

Actually, one of the catches was a trap that Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy failed to challenge, but who's counting? In any event, the 2018 second-round pick is still only 25 and should get another chance to carve out a role somewhere.
