  • Buccaneers' Josh Williams: Staying in Tampa Bay

    The Buccaneers signed Williams to a reserve/future contract Monday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

    The undrafted free agent out of LSU earned a spot on the Buccaneers' 53-man roster after a strong training camp. His rookie season was a bit tumultuous, as he missed time while in the league's concussion protocol before being served a six-game suspension by the NFL in mid-November for violating the league's performance-enhancing substances policy. He was waived by the Bucs on Dec. 29 before being signed to the practice squad one day later, and he'll stick around with Tampa Bay during offseason activities with the aim of cracking the team's active roster for a second straight year.

  • Buccaneers' Dennis Houston: Sticking around Tampa Bay

    The Buccaneers signed Houston to a reserve/future contract Monday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

    Houston spent the entirety of the 2025 campaign as a member of the practice squad in Tampa Bay, but he failed to appear in any contests. The wide receiver will now have the chance to participate in the Buccaneers' offseason activities, and he'll look to impress in an effort to earn an opportunity with the active roster in 2026.

  • River Cracraft WR | WAS

    River Cracraft: Back to practice squad

    Cracraft reverted to the Commanders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Cracraft played 10 snaps (seven on offense, three on special teams) during the Commanders' 24-17 win over the Eagles on Sunday, when he returned one punt for one yard. He ended up appearing in the final two games of the regular season for Washington after joining the team's practice squad in mid-November. The veteran wide receiver will explore his options as an unrestricted free agent.

  • Cole Turner TE | TEN

    Cole Turner: Reverts to practice squad

    Turner reverted to the Titans' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Turner played two snaps on special teams without showing up on the box score otherwise during the Titans' 41-7 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday. He spent most of the regular season without a team after being cut by the Commanders at the end of training camp but managed to catch on with the Titans on the practice squad. The 2022 fifth-rounder will be a unrestricted free agent and look to sign with a team in need of a tight end who can also contribute on special teams.

  • Raheem Blackshear: Back with practice squad

    Blackshear reverted to the Jets' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Blackshear was elevated to the active roster prior to Sunday's 35-8 loss to the Bills, ultimately failing to appear in the contest. The running back spent time with the practice squad of the Titans, Steelers and Jets this season, and he'll now enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent.

  • Cam Akers RB | SEA

    Cam Akers: Returns to practice squad

    Akers reverted to the Seahawks' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Akers played six snaps (one on offense, five on special teams) during the Seahawks' 13-3 win over the 49ers on Saturday. He ended up being elevated to Seattle's active roster three times in the regular season and will be available to be called up during the playoffs should the Seahawks require another contributor on special teams and out of the backfield.

  • Nyheim Hines: Back to practice squad

    Hines reverted to the Saints' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Hines joined the Saints' practice squad in mid-December after spending time earlier in the season with the Chargers. He was elevated to the active roster Saturday and played nine snaps (one on offense, eight on special teams) during Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Falcons, when he returned one punt for 11 yards. Hines has the versatility and experience to garner offseason interest from teams looking to add depth to their backfield and can also contribute on special teams as a returner.

  • Jake Haener QB | NO

    Jake Haener: Reverts to practice squad

    Haener reverted to the Saints' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Haener was elevated to the Saints' active roster Saturday and ended up serving as Tyler Shough's backup for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Falcons due to the absence of Spencer Rattler (finger). Haener didn't end up playing a single snap during Sunday's loss and did not appear in a regular-season game in 2025. He was selected by the Saints in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, but his role with New Orleans in 2026 isn't clear given Shough's strong play to end the regular season and Rattler's presence.

  • Jeff Wilson RB | MIA

    Jeff Wilson: Returns to practice squad

    Wilson reverted to the Dolphins' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Wilson was elevated to the active roster ahead of the team's 38-10 loss to the Patriots on Sunday, failing to record any stats while playing six of the team's 56 offensive snaps. The running back appeared in three games with Miami this season, producing no output. Wilson will now likely look for an opportunity to compete for an active roster in the offseason.

  • DJ Uiagalelei QB | LAC

    DJ Uiagalelei: Returns to Bolts' practice squad

    Uiagalelei reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Uiagalelei spent the entire 2025 season on the Chargers' practice squad. He was elevated to the active roster for the first time Saturday and served as the team's backup quarterback behind Trey Lance for Sunday's 19-3 loss to the Broncos, though the former didn't end up playing a single snap. Uiagalelei is unlikely to see playoff action unless both Justin Herbert and Lance were to miss time.
