Hart signed a reserve/future contract with the Seahawks on Tuesday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Hart was let go by the Colts with an injury settlement in early September, and he joined the Seahawks' practice squad in late October and remained there for the rest of the season. The 23-year-old went undrafted out of Georgia State in the spring and will look to take advantage of spending a full offseason with the Seahawks.

Carter caught his lone target for 17 yards and lost a fumble on a kickoff return in Sunday's 51-31 playoff loss to the Chiefs.

In the midst of Houston's second-quarter collapse, Carter had the ball dislodged on a kickoff return, setting up Kansas City's third touchdown. To be fair, this was a team-wide disaster, but Carter's fumble fueled the Chiefs' gathering momentum after they had fallen behind 24-0. He finished the regular season with 11 catches on 14 targets for 162 yards, while averaging 22.0 yards on kickoff returns and 9.7 yards on punt returns. The 26-year-old was Houston's primary returner and supplanted Keke Coutee as the No. 4 wideout at the end of the year. Carter enters the offseason as an exclusive rights free agent, meaning the Texans can retain him with a one-year, league-minimum contract.

Davis signed a reserve/future contract with the Vikings on Monday.

Davis appeared in two games for Minnesota this season but spent most of 2019 on the team's practice squad. The undrafted rookie out of Sam Houston State will now have a full offseason with the team to prepare for his sophomore campaign.

Mitchell signed a reserve/future contract with the Vikings on Monday.

Mitchell was selected in the seventh round of April's draft but was unable to make the season-opening roster. The 21-year-old will battle for a depth role at wide receiver this offseason.

Turner, who didn't catch any of his three targets during Sunday's 28-23 divisional-round loss to the Packers, finished with 15 receptions for 245 yards and a touchdown over 15 regular-season games.

Turner was the team's No. 3 wide receiver during this playoff loss, and he had a costly drop, which would've been a first down, on the team's final offensive drive. Overall this year, Turner rotated with David Moore and Jaron Brown as the team's No. 3 wideout behind Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf. Turner will be an exclusive-rights free agent in March, and he stands a good chance to make the 53-man roster in 2020 due to his consistent usage on special teams.

Hopkins acknowledged that he played through a painful rib injury Sunday in the Texans' 51-31 loss to the Chiefs in the divisional round, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

It's unclear at which point in the contest Hopkins suffered the injury, but after a brief examination in the locker room, he was deemed fit to return to action. Despite finishing the day with nine receptions for 118 yards on 14 targets, Hopkins' efforts weren't enough for the Houston offense to keep pace with a Patrick Mahomes-led attack that caught fire in the second quarter. The first-team All-Pro selection shouldn't be impacted by the injury by the time OTAs kick off in the spring, though he could opt to sit out the Pro Bowl next weekend for maintenance purposes.

Valdes-Scantling was targeted once and had one reception for eight yards in Sunday's divisional round win over the Seahawks.

Valdes-Scantling appeared to sit fourth on the depth chart at the wide receiver position heading into the playoffs, but he operated as the fifth receiver Sunday and took the field for just five offensive plays.

Lazard was not targeted but had one carry for five yards in Sunday's divisional-round win over the Seahawks.

An ankle injury suffered in the second quarter limited Lazard's opportunities to make an impact, and he finished with just 20 snaps. Lazard was spotted on the sideline after suffering the injury and, according to Lily Zhao of WFRV, was walking without a limp after the game, so he should be good to go for next weekend's NFC Championship Game.

Moore, who didn't receive a target in Sunday's 28-23 divisional-round loss to the Packers, finished the season with 19 catches for 358 yards and two touchdowns over 15 games.

Moore is a boom-or-bust receiver, as he hauled in five passes of 20-plus yards, but he was vastly overshadowed by rookie DK Metcalf in the deep-threat department. He struggled to secure the No. 3 spot behind Metcalf and Tyler Lockett as well, as Moore rotated with Malik Turner and Jaron Brown. Moore will be a restricted free agent in March.

Adams caught eight of 11 targets for 160 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 28-23 divisional-round win over the Seahawks.

Adams averaged an impressive 20.0 yards per catch, as he accounted for nearly two-thirds of Aaron Rodgers' passing yardage. The duo connected for a 20-yard touchdown in the first quarter while adding an electric 40-yard score in the third. Adams also helped put the game away with a beautiful 32-yard over-the-shoulder catch in the final minutes of the fourth quarter. The talented wideout is averaging 118 yards per game with four touchdowns over his last four contests, and he'll look to continue his excellent form in next Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the 49ers.
