The Raiders signed Bachman to a reserve/future contract Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Bachman bounced between the Raiders' practice squad and 53-man roster during the 2024 regular season. He ended up playing in six games and finished with three catches for 31 yards, all which came in Week 6 against the Steelers. Bachman will be on Las Vegas' 90-man roster when the new league year starts March 12, which will allow him to participate in OTAs, minicamp and training camp ahead of the 2025 campaign.

Zaccheaus (hip) was a limited practice participant Thursday.

Zaccheaus maintained his activity level from Wednesday, giving him just one more opportunity to return to full participation this week or else risk heading into the weekend with a designation for Sunday's NFC Championship Game at Philadelphia. In two regular-season matchups with the Eagles, he combined for a 6-80-2 line on 10 targets.

Powell finished the 2024 regular season with seven catches for 71 yards on 10 targets in 17 games. He added 23 punt returns for 164 yards.

Powell didn't see much involvement on offense, taking a step back after posting a career-high 324 receiving yards with the Vikings in 2023. He worked as the team's primary punt returner during the regular season and added one punt return for no gain in Minnesota's 27-9 loss to the Rams in the wild-card round of the playoffs. The 29-year-old wide receiver is set to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Sherfield finished the 2024 regular season with eight catches for 83 yards and one touchdown on nine targets. He also had eight tackles (seven solo) in 17 games.

Sherfield saw minimal involvement on offense as a depth option at wide receiver but he played consistently on special teams. After failing to record multiple catches in any game during the regular season, he did so in Minnesota's 27-9 loss to the Rams in the wild-card round, securing two of three targets for eight yards. Sherfield will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Jarrett secured nine of 11 targets for 124 yards and recorded 141 kickoff-return yards over 10 regular-season games in 2024.

Jarrett managed to slightly improve on his 4-60 line over 10 games as a rookie in 2023, and he added kickoff returns to his resume by recording stats in that category over four contests down the stretch. The speedy Maryland product's best performance came in Week 8 against the Falcons, when he posted a 3-58 line in the game immediately following Chris Godwin's season-ending ankle injury. Jarrett will look to once again make a case for a reserve receiver role during the upcoming offseason and training camp as he approaches the final season of a three-year, $2.7 million contract in 2025.

Palmer brought in 12 of 22 targets for 172 yards and one touchdown while adding 14 kickoff-return yards and 136 punt-return yards across 15 regular-season games in 2024.

Palmer had put together a solid rookie 2023 campaign in which he'd appeared in all 17 regular-season games and generated a 39-385-3 receiving line while adding 22 rushing yards on three attempts. However, despite Chris Godwin's season-ending ankle injury in Week 7 and Mike Evans' three-game absence with a hamstring injury, Palmer saw a big dip in production from scrimmage in his second season. On a positive note, Palmer was deployed as a returner for the first time and was effective running back punts, and he'll have an opportunity to make his case for reverting to a larger complementary role this offseason as he prepares to play out the third season of his rookie contract in 2025.

Miller brought in 12 of 20 targets for 128 yards and two touchdowns across 11 regular-season games in 2024.

The second-year undrafted free agent's stats were the first of his career after he played just two snaps from scrimmage during his one regular-season appearance as a rookie in 2023. Miller recorded multiple catches on three separate occasions and also had a 39-yard grab on his first NFL catch in Week 6. Miller should have a good likelihood of sticking on the roster as a reserve option again in 2025, considering he's under contract for a mere $960,000.

The Ravens signed Miller to a reserve/future contract Wednesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Miller spent the entire 2024 campaign on the Ravens' practice squad after failing to make the 53-man roster at the conclusion of training camp. It wasn't until Week 16 against the Steelers when Miller was elevated to the Ravens' active roster, and he ended up playing in four of Baltimore's last five games (including its two playoff games). He caught all five of his targets for 45 yards across those four outings and provided crucial depth at wide receiver due to injuries to Nelson Agholor and Zay Flowers (knee). By signing a futures contract, Miller will be on the Ravens' 90-man roster for OTAs, minicamp and training camp, and will work to earn a spot on the active roster for 2025 campaign.

Brown (knee/rest) was listed as a limited participant for Wednesday's walk-through practice.

Brown continues to manage a knee issue, but the wideout has been available for both of the Eagles' playoff contests thus far and should be ready to go for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Commanders. Expect Brown to put in a full practice by Friday and head into the weekend without an injury designation.

The Texans signed Johnson to a reserve/future contract Wednesday.

Johnson signed with the Bills as an undrafted free agent in May. He was unsuccessful in making Buffalo's 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but managed to catch on with Houston on the practice squad. Johnson wasn't elevated to the Texans' active roster during the regular season or postseason, but under a futures contract he'll be on the 90-man roster when the new league year starts March 12. That gives him the opportunity to participate in OTAs, minicamp and training camp in the hopes of earning a spot on the Texans' roster for the 2025 campaign.
