Luke Willson: Calling it a career
Willson announced his retirement Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Willson being cut by Seattle just one day after signing with the team was a strange occurrence, but the veteran tight end's retirement explains things. After joining Seattle as a fifth-round draft pick back in 2013, Willson spent the first five seasons of his career with the team before logging a stint with Detroit in 2018. Then, Willson resurfaced with the Seahawks for 13 contests from 2019-20, while also suiting up for three games with the Ravens.

Seahawks' Luke Willson: Joins active roster
Willson was signed to Seattle's active roster Wednesday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Willson has played with the Seahawks back and forth since 2013, and after three games with the Ravens this year, the 30-year-old has returned to Seattle's active roster. The tight end will likely provide depth for the team as it takes on the Rams this week.

Luke Willson: Back with Seattle
The Seahawks signed Willson (hip) to the practice squad Wednesday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Willson is intimately familiar with the Seahawks' scheme, so he'll provide valuable emergency depth at tight end for the team. The veteran has already appeared in five games with the Seahawks, and three gams with the Ravens, this season.

Ravens' Luke Willson: Questionable versus Jaguars
Willson (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Jaguars.
Despite upgrading to full participation during Friday's practice, Willson will be monitored over the weekend before being given the green light. If he's unable to go, the Ravens likely will bring up Eric Tomlinson from the practice squad to serve as the No. 2 tight end behind Mark Andrews.

Luke Willson: Cut by Baltimore
The Ravens waived Willson (hip) on Saturday.
Willson appeared in three games with the Ravens this season, most notably filling in while Mark Andrews missed time on the COVID-19 list. Once fully recovered from his hip injury, he'll look to latch on in a depth capacity elsewhere in the league.

Ravens' Luke Willson: Limited showing Wednesday
Willson (hip) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice.
Willson was unable to suit up in Monday night's win over the Browns with the hip issue as he continues to manage the injury. The veteran logged 49 percent of offensive snaps in Week 13's game against the Cowboys, evidencing he's the clear No. 2 option behind Mark Andrews at tight end when healthy. If he's forced to sit out Sunday's game against the Jaguars, the team will likely elevate Eric Tomlinson from the practice squad again.

Ravens' Luke Willson: Unavailable for MNF
Willson (hip) is inactive for Monday's game versus the Browns.
Willson logged a 49 percent snap share in last week's win over the Cowboys. Eric Tomlinson was elevated from the practice squad to fill into the No. 2 tight end role behind Mark Andrews. Willson will aim to return in Week 15 against the Jaguars.

Ravens' Luke Willson: Added to injury report
Willson was added to the injury report with a hip injury Saturday and is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Browns, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Willson was set to lose playing time with the return of Mark Andrews (illness), but this certainly complicates things further. Expect the Ravens to promote a tight end from the practice squad regardless of Willson's status, as the team has just two listed on the active roster.

Ravens' Luke Willson: Makes first catch as Raven
Willson caught his lone target for a 12-yard gain Tuesday against the Cowboys.
Mark Andrews was sidelined again, so Willson saw plenty of playing time in Week 13 with a 49 percent snap share. He drew just one target, however, and primarily served as a blocker. With Andrews off the reserve/COVID-19 list, look for Willson's role to diminish, especially in the passing game.

Ravens' Luke Willson: Likely Andrews replacement Tuesday
Willson is expected to serve as the Ravens' starting tight end Tuesday against the Cowboys with Mark Andrews (illness) still on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
While Andrews was sidelined for last week's loss to Pittsburgh, Baltimore called Willson up from the practice squad and deployed him as its top tight end. Willson played 69 percent of the offensive snaps in that contest, dropping one of his two targets on the day for what would have been a touchdown reception. The 30-year-old isn't expected to see a huge uptick in involvement in the passing game even with reigning MVP Lamar Jackson back in the lineup from a one-game absence, but as the only tight end currently on the 53-man roster, Willson should be in store for another big snap share.
