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.

Nailor secured 28 of 42 targets for 414 yards and six touchdowns across 17 regular-season appearances with the Vikings in 2024. He also rushed three times for minus-four yards and lost one fumble.

Nailor also secured three of five targets for 33 yards during Minnesota's wild-card round loss to the Rams. The 2022 sixth-round pick set new career-high marks across the board in his third season with the Vikings, stepping up as the team's No. 3 receiver behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. He's now heading into the final year of his rookie deal with Minnesota.

Zaccheaus was a limited participant in practice Wednesday due to a hip injury.

Zaccheaus briefly exited last Saturday's 45-31 divisional-round win over Detroit due to what was listed as a hip injury, but he ultimately returned to the contest and finished with zero catches on two targets. Though he was limited to begin this week, Zaccheaus will have two more chances to upgrade to full practice participation before the Commanders potentially give him a designation for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Eagles.

The Eagles announced Wednesday that Covey (neck) has been designated for return from IR, which opens his 21-day practice window, Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com reports.

Covey is being designated to return to practice at his earliest date of eligibility, which may bode well for his chances for gaining clearance to play in time for Sunday's home NFC Championship Game against the Commanders. Once he's gained full medical clearance and retakes the field, the third-year wideout will contribute in a depth role on offense, as well as take on work in the return game.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said Wednesday that Hardman (knee) will not be activated from injured reserve, ruling him out for a return during the playoffs, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

Hardman's 21-day practice window thus comes to a close without him being activated in advance of Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Bills, or a potential Super Bowl appearance should Kansas City advance past Buffalo. He appeared in 12 games with the Chiefs during the regular season, securing 12 of 14 targets for 90 yards, rushing five times for 62 yards and a score and playing a key role in the return game. Hardman is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason.
