Okonkwo recorded two receptions (on three targets) for 36 yards in Sunday's 28-20 win over the Jaguars.

The Titans had a positive game script for much of the contest, which limited passing volume. As a result, Okonkwo had a quiet close to the season. Despite a very inconsistent passing attack in Tennessee, he did manage to take a moderate step forward in his sophomore campaign by tallying 54 receptions for 528 yards and a touchdown. Okonkwo should have a significant role in the offense again in 2024, though his potential volume will ultimately be determined by whether DeAndre Hopkins is back with the team and any subsequent additions the Titans make to their pass-catching corps.

Everett, who was forced out of Sunday's 13-12 loss to the Chiefs due to a knee injury, finished the 2023 campaign with 51 catches (on 70 targets) for 411 yards and three touchdowns in 15 games.

The Chargers haven't released any official information regarding the severity of Everett's injury, so it's fair to expect that the veteran tight end should be healthy ahead of next season. The 29-year-old wrapped up his seventh year in the NFL with solid figures given his role essentially as a safety blanket for QB Justin Herbert, as he never recorded more than 50 receiving yards in a single game despite seven contests with at least four receptions. Everett is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason and will likely draw some interest in the open market if he doesn't re-sign with Los Angeles.

Sokol reverted to the Patriots' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Sokol played three snaps on offense in the Patriots' regular-season finale against the Jets on Sunday and did not record a stat. Sokol appeared in three games in 2023 and played 14 snaps on offense and six snaps on special teams over that span.

The Ravens reverted Mason to the practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Mason played all but one of his 20 snaps on special teams without recording a stat during the Week 18 loss to the Steelers. It was his first elevation from the practice squad of the 2023 season.

The Saints signed Jacobson to a reserve/future contract Monday, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

Jacobson joined the Saints' practice squad Sept. 13 after being cut by the Colts following training camp. He did not play in 2023, but Jacobson will stick around in New Orleans and compete for a roster spot for the 2024 season.

The Saints signed Hudson to a reserve/future contract Monday, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

Hudson was cut by the Broncos following training camp before joining the Saints' practice squad Sept. 4. He did not appear in a game this season, but he will spend the offseason in New Orleans and work towards sticking on the team's roster for 2024.

The Raiders signed Shenker to a reserve/future contract Monday.

Shenker spent time on the Raiders' and Cardinals' practice squads this season, but he was not elevated to the active roster. Now that he's signed a reserve/future contract with Las Vegas, he'll work during the offseason to earn a spot on the team's active roster for 2024.

Tomlinson signed a reserve/future contract with the Colts on Monday.

Tomlinson joined the Colts' practice squad last week and will now stick around for the offseason. The tight end last played in 2022, appearing in all 17 of the Broncos' contests and catching nine passes for 79 yards and two touchdowns.

The Bears signed Carlson to a reserve/future contract Monday, Larry Mayer of the team's official website reports.

Carlson spent most of the season on Chicago's practice squad, but he only saw the field in one game. He played one special-teams snap in Week 10 versus the Panthers. The 27-year-old will now attempt to put the work in during the offseason to ultimately earn a spot on the Bears' roster in the 2024 campaign.

The Raiders signed Fotheringham (hamstring) to a reserve/future contract Monday.

Fotheringham joined the Raiders' practice squad Aug. 30 after failing to make the 53-man roster after training camp. He was elevated twice late in the season and had one catch for six yards over 21 offensive snaps. Fotheringham sustained a hamstring injury in Week 17 against the Colts, and the Raiders placed him on their practice squad injured reserve list Jan. 2. He'll spend the offseason rehabbing and will have the opportunity to compete for a roster spot come training camp.
