  • Josh Reynolds WR | NYJ

    Jaguars' Josh Reynolds: Three targets Week 18

    Reynolds secured one of three targets for 11 yards during Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Colts.

    The 29-year-old operated as Jacksonville's No. 3 wide receiver and caught his first pass since being claimed off waivers from the Broncos in early December, but he had a minor role in the passing game. Reynolds totaled 13 receptions for 194 yards and one touchdown in nine games between Denver and Jacksonville this season. He's under contract for $3.99 million for next season but may not be retained by the Jaguars since that money isn't guaranteed.

  • Jaguars' Parker Washington: Finds end zone in finale

    Washington caught two of four targets for 15 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Colts.

    The 2023 sixth-round pick had a quiet day overall but found the end zone in the fourth quarter on a nine-yard pass from Mac Jones. Washington didn't see much action early in the season but took on a larger role due to injuries in the receiving corps, and he finished the campaign with 32 receptions for 390 yards and three touchdowns. Rookie Brian Thomas ended the season as Jacksonville's only consistent producer in the passing game, and Washington is unlikely to enter training camp as much more than the team's third or fourth wideout.

  • Stanley Morgan WR | TEN

    Titans' Stanley Morgan: Staying in Tennessee

    Morgan signed a reserve/future contract with the Titans on Monday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

    Morgan spent his 2024 campaign on the Titans' practice squad after failing to catch on in New Orleans. His most recent in-game action came with the Bengals in 2023, when he appeared in three games and primarily contributed on special teams (four offensive snaps and 52 on special teams). The 28-year-old will likely compete for a similar role in Tennessee ahead of the team's 2025 season.

  • Amari Cooper WR | LV

    Bills' Amari Cooper: Not yet back with team

    Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Cooper (personal), who was excused from Sunday's loss to the Patriots due to a family matter, has not yet returned to team facilities, Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.

    McDermott said he's hopeful to have Cooper available for Sunday's wild-card round game against the Broncos, but he didn't offer a more precise timetable for the veteran's return. If Cooper does return in time to suit up versus Denver, he figures to handle his usual starting role alongside Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman.

  • Tejhaun Palmer WR | ARI

    Cardinals' Tejhaun Palmer: Staying in Arizona

    The Cardinals signed Palmer to a reserve/future contract Monday, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    Palmer failed to make the Cardinals' active roster in late August, but he spent his 2024 campaign on the practice squad and will remain in Arizona after inking a reserve/future contract Monday. The 2024 sixth-round pick from UAB has yet to appear in an NFL game, but he's expected to have the opportunity to compete for a depth spot in the Cardinals' wide-receiver room throughout the offseason.

  • Cardinals' Andre Baccellia: Inks deal with Arizona

    The Cardinals signed Baccellia to a reserve/future contract Monday, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    The 28-year-old spent his 2024 campaign with the Cardinals' practice squad after failing to make the team's active roster in late August. Baccellia most recently appeared in a regular-season game with the Cardinals in 2023, tallying 22 kick-return yards while playing 64 total snaps (46 offensive and 18 on special teams). He's expected to compete for a depth role in Arizona's wide-receiver corps throughout the offseason.

  • Xavier Legette WR | CAR

    Panthers' Xavier Legette: Catches three passes vs. Falcons

    Legette caught three of his five targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 44-38 overtime win over the Falcons.

    Legette was limited while playing through wrist and hip injuries in Sunday's game, finishing fourth among Panthers wide receivers in offensive snaps played (28). Despite the limited playing time, the 2024 first-round pick from South Carolina was somewhat productive, recording 30 or more receiving yards for the 10th time in his rookie campaign. With the Panthers out of playoff contention, Legette concluded his first pro season with 49 receptions for 497 yards and four touchdowns in 16 games, ranking seventh in receiving yards among rookies in Carolina's history.

  • Tutu Atwell WR | MIA

    Rams' Tutu Atwell: Leads team in targets

    Atwell secured five of eight targets for 37 yards during Sunday's 30-25 loss to the Seahawks.

    The impending unrestricted free agent's role on offense picked up considerably with Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp earning the day off, but Atwell wasn't able to do much with his sudden bevy of targets. Taking out a 22-yard catch in the first quarter, Atwell's other four catches combined for just 15 yards, while Jordan Whittington and Demarcus Robinson combined for 158 yards on their six catches. During the 2024 regular season, Atwell recorded 42 catches for 562 yards, both career highs, but failed to record a touchdown for the first time since his rookie campaign. Heading into a wild-card weekend showdown with the Vikings, Atwell is likely to move back to his minimal role on offense.

  • Packers' Christian Watson: Torn ACL confirmed

    Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that Watson is done for the year due to a torn right ACL, Lily Zhao of Fox 6 News reports.

    Watson will miss the entirety of Green Bay's postseason, which will kick off Sunday on the road against the Eagles in a wild-card round matchup. The 2022 second-round pick also may be in significant danger of missing time during the 2025 campaign due to the timing of his right knee injury. With Watson officially unavailable for the playoffs, Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs (illness) and Dontayvion Wicks will be the regulars in three-wide sets for Jordan Love (hand), if the quarterback gains clearance to play. Bo Melton and Malik Heath also are positioned to take on expanded depth roles.

  • 49ers' Jauan Jennings: Leads team with 10 targets

    Jennings finished with seven receptions on 10 targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 47-24 loss to Arizona. He was ejected in the second quarter for fighting with a Cardinals player.

    Jennings took over as the 49ers' No. 1 option due to Deebo Samuel (ribs/wrist) sitting out Sunday's regular-season finale. The 26-year-old Jennings had a career year in 2024, setting new highs in receptions (77), yards (975) and touchdowns (six) while primarily filling in for Brandon Aiyuk (knee) midseason, though his combativeness may have cost him his first 1,000-yard season after getting ejected with a half-plus left to play. The upstart receiver will now enter the second year of a two-year contract reconstruction, with the possibility of continuing his elevated role for the 49ers in 2025.
