Jaylen Reed SAF | HOU
Texans' Jaylen Reed: Hurts knee, iffy to return Monday
Reed (knee) is questionable to return to Monday's wild-card game against Pittsburgh.
Reed ended the regular season on IR with a forearm injury but was able to return for Monday's wild-card game. However, he's now dealing with a knee issue and isn't certain to re-enter the game. Reed drew a start at safety for the Texans on Monday, and Myles Bryant entered in his place following the injury.

Jaguars' Chandler Brayboy: Re-signs with Jacksonville
The Jaguars signed Brayboy to a reserve/future contract Monday.
Brayboy joined the team as an undrafted free agent last May and ended up spending the entirety of the season on their practice squad after being waived in late August. The 24-year-old will look to compete for a spot on Jacksonville's roster during the 2026 campaign.

Tim Jones WR | JAC
Jaguars' Tim Jones: Sticking around in Jacksonville
The Jaguars signed Jones to a reserve/future contract Monday.
Jones played full 17-game slates for the Jaguars from 2022 through 2024, but he got into just four contests (two with Minnesota and two with Jacksonville) during the 2025 regular season. He logged one catch for 15 yards on one target while working primarily on special teams. Jones was also elevated for Sunday's wild-card loss to Buffalo and recorded three special-teams snaps before reverting to the practice squad Monday. With a reserve/future contract in hand, he'll have a chance this offseason to make a case for a roster spot.

The Panthers signed Johnson to a reserve/future contract Monday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
Johnson signed with Philadelphia as an undrafted free agent last April and later got a look from the Cardinals before catching on with Carolina's practice squad in mid-December.

Malik Turner WR | SF
Malik Turner: Reverts to practice squad
Turner reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Turner played four snaps on offense but failed to haul in his only target during Sunday's wild-card win over the Eagles. He also saw playing time on special teams and could be elevated again for next week's divisional matchup versus the Seahawks.

Jeremiah Webb WR | NE
Jeremiah Webb: Moves back to practice squad
The Patriots reverted Webb to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Webb was elevated ahead of Sunday's wild-card win over the Chargers but was ultimately a healthy scratch for that contest. The elevation was his first of the campaign. He was likely elevated as insurance in case Kayshon Boutte (who was dealing with a hamstring injury) couldn't suit up, which didn't end up being the case. It would almost certainly take an injury in the Patriots' receiving corps for Webb to be elevated again for the divisional-round matchup against the Texans on Sunday.
