Michael Bandy WR | DEN
Michael Bandy: Back to practice squad
Bandy reverted to the Broncos' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Bandy was elevated to the Broncos' active roster Saturday but ended up being a healthy inactive for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Patriots, as Elijah Moore was selected to serve as Denver's WR5 in the absence of Troy Franklin (hamstring). Bandy appeared in four regular-season games for the Broncos in 2025, catching all four of his passes for 50 yards and a touchdown while also contributing on special teams.

Tyler Scott WR | LAR
Rams' Tyler Scott: Will be part of Rams' 90-man roster
The Rams signed Scott to a reserve/future contract Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Scott was cut by the Bears at the end of training camp and had practice-squad stints with the Colts and Seahawks before catching on with the Rams in late October. He didn't appear in a regular-season game in 2025, but he'll be able to participate in OTAs and minicamp with the Rams during the offseason and attempt to make a good impression on the coaching staff before the start of training camp in July.

Brennan Presley WR | LAR
Rams' Brennan Presley: Signed by Rams to future deal
The Rams signed Presley to a reserve/future contract Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
The future deal means Presely will be on the Rams' 90-man roster when the offseason officially begins Feb. 9, allowing him to participate in OTAs and minicamp. He was signed by the Rams in late April as an undrafted free agent and spent his entire rookie campaign on the practice squad, with his lone regular-season appearance taking place Week 12 against the Buccaneers.

Tru Edwards WR | LAR
Rams' Tru Edwards: Gets future deal with Rams
The Rams signed Edwards to a reserve/future contract Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Edwards signed with the Rams in May as an undrafted free agent and opted to stick around on the practice squad after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He did not appear in a single game during his rookie season, but he'll be on the Rams' 90-man roster at the start of the offseason, giving him the opportunity to make an impression on the coaching staff during OTAs and minicamp.

Jason Brownlee WR | KC
Chiefs' Jason Brownlee: Signs future deal with Kansas City
The Chiefs signed Brownlee to a reserve/future contract Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Brownlee will be on the Chiefs' 90-man roster when the offseason kicks off Feb. 9, which will give the Southern Miss product the opportunity to participate in OTAs and minicamp. He appeared in six regular-season games for the Chiefs in 2025 but saw limited playing time on offense and special teams.

Kayshon Boutte WR | NE
Patriots' Kayshon Boutte: Six yards on six targets
Boutte caught one of six targets for six yards in Sunday's 10-7 win over the Broncos in the AFC Championship Game.
Boutte tied for the team lead in targets but made a minimal impact in a defensive battle that saw both offenses get bogged down by wind and snow in the second half. After being targeted 15 times through three playoff games, Boutte's likely to have a substantial role in Super Bowl LX against the Seahawks.

Jonathan Mingo WR | DAL
Cowboys' Jonathan Mingo: Fails to make impact in 2025
Mingo caught one of five targets for 25 yards while active for six games with the Cowboys in 2025.
The third-year wideout didn't see his first snap of the season until Week 12, and he saw exactly one target in each of Dallas' last five games, catching just one of them. Mingo has one year left on his rookie contract after entering the league as a second-round pick of the Panthers in 2023, but he's done nothing with the Cowboys to suggest a breakout is coming next season, and he may not even be guaranteed a roster spot.

KaVontae Turpin WR | DAL
Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin: Cashes in on new kickoff rules
Turpin caught 26 of 38 targets for 396 yards and two touchdowns over 15 games in 2025. He also gained 89 rushing yards on 17 carries and led the NFL in kickoff-return yards with 1,814, while adding 55 punt-return yards.
The kickoff-return yards were more than double Turpin's 2024 total, as he took full advantage of the league's revised kickoff rules. The 29-year-old wound up finishing second to the Titans' Chimere Dike in total return yards, but Turpin did fail to take any kicks to the house after scoring twice in 2024 as a return man. With two more years left on his contract, Turpin should be back in 2026 as the Cowboys' primary return specialist and an occasional contributor on offense.

Rashid Shaheed WR | SEA
Seahawks' Rashid Shaheed: Rips off long reception in NFCCG
Shaheed caught one of three targets for 51 yards while rushing for no gain on his only attempt in Sunday's 31-27 win over the Rams in the NFC Championship Game.
Shaheed was unable to follow up the touchdown return he registered on the opening play of the divisional round win over the 49ers after the Rams opted to kick touchbacks on five out of six kickoffs Sunday. The versatile receiver still made his mark on the contest when he ripped off a 51-yard gain on his only reception of the playoff victory. Jaxon Smith-Njigba (10-153-1) and Cooper Kupp (4-36-1) provided the volume and scoring that fantasy players were hunting for on Seattle's roster, leaving Shaheed in a volatile boom-or-bust category when looking ahead to Super Bowl LX on Feb. 8.

Cooper Kupp WR | SEA
Seahawks' Cooper Kupp: First postseason TD with SEA
Kupp had four receptions on six targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-27 playoff win over the Rams.
Kupp stuck it to his former club when he cashed in QB Sam Darnold's third touchdown pass of the contest to put the Seahawks up for good in fourth quarter of the NFC Championship Game. The 32-year-old Kupp saw his numbers understandably take a dip in 2025, but he has been coming on strong with nine receptions for 96 yards and a touchdown in two postseason appearances with Seattle. Kupp was named MVP of Super Bowl LVI as a member of the Rams in 2021, and while the wideout is no longer the player he was back then, he is riding a hot streak into a matchup against the Patriots for Super Bowl LX on Feb. 8.
