The Chargers signed Fehoko to a reserve/future contract Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Following Mike Williams' season-ending torn ACL early in the season, Fehoko got some run on offense for the Bolts, playing in six games and catching a nine-yard touchdown on two targets. The former fifth-round pick of the Cowboys will compete for a depth job in the offseason.

The Jaguars signed Williams to a reserve/future contract Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Selected by the Broncos in the sixth round of the 2021 NFL Draft, Williams played in two games for Denver as a rookie, catching his lone target for a 34-yard gain. He hasn't appeared in a regular-season game since. Williams caught seven of eight targets for 109 scoreless yards last preseason and spent time on the Jaguars' practice squad.

Bobo caught 19 passes (25 targets) for 196 yards and two touchdowns across 17 games in 2023. he also rushed once for a three-yard touchdown.

Bobo showed some impressive flashes in the beginning of the season, but that production essentially vanished in the second half of the year. He recorded nine receptions for 61 yards and no touchdowns over the final 10 games. Still, the Seahawks' lack of depth at the position provides Bobo a good opportunity to make the roster again in 2024.

Smith-Njigba recorded 63 receptions on 93 targets for 628 yards and four touchdowns across 17 games in 2023.

Smith-Njigba was the first wideout off the board in April's draft but finished 10th among all pass-catchers in receiving yards and ninth in receptions. The Ohio State product was the Seahawks' clear No. 3 receiver behind DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, who combined for more than 2,000 receiving yards. Smith-Njigba won't turn 22 years old until February, so he has plenty of runway to develop. It will be tough for him to truly thrive as long as Lockett and Metcalf are around, though.

Jennings has been cleared from concussion protocol, Josh Dubow of The Associated Press reports.

Jennings was unavailable for the 49ers' last three regular season games while nursing a concussion, but he now appears to be ready to go for the postseason. The wide receiver will have an opportunity to get back into the swing of things during the team's wild-card round bye week before they host their upcoming opponent in the divisional round next weekend.

Hill was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report due to ankle and quadricep injuries, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Hill's practice participation in Week 18 was affected by a personal matter in addition to the lingering ankle issue, but he's apparently now tending to a quad injury as the Dolphins prepare for Saturday's wild-card matchup in his old Kansas City stomping grounds. The fact that Hill was estimated as a limited participant rather than a non-participant to begin the week of practice seemingly bodes well for his chances of being cleared to play Saturday. In his first appearance against his former team back in Week 9, Hill caught eight of 10 targets for 62 yards and ran once for three yards in the Dolphins' 21-14 loss.

Waddle (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

The Dolphins didn't hold an actual practice Tuesday, but if they had, Waddle would have been able to match his activity from Friday. The wideout was sidelined for a second straight game in this past Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Bills, but the Dolphins are optimistic Waddle will be back in action for Saturday's wild-card game in Kansas City.

Rice (hamstring) was a full practice participant Tuesday.

While Rice managed the hamstring injury, Kansas City held him out of practice for the entirety of Week 18 prep before he was inactive for Sunday's 13-12 win over the Chargers. Even if he hadn't been nursing the injury, Rice may have played only limited snaps, as the AFC West champs opted to rest other key contributors such as quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce while the team was locked in as the No. 3 seed in the conference. Now that he's back on the field as a full practice participant, Rice looks like he'll head into Saturday's wild-card matchup with the Dolphins with no restrictions.

Toney (hip/ankle) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice.

Toney missed Kansas City's final three games of the regular season due to his pair of injuries, putting his status for Saturday's wild-card game versus the Dolphins in question. Over 13 appearances in 2023, Toney played no more than 42 percent of the offensive snaps in any of them and recorded 27 catches for 169 yards and a touchdown to go with 31 rushing yards on 11 carries.

Watson didn't catch a pass (on one target) during Sunday's 13-12 win over the Chargers.

Watson was among those active for Sunday's regular-season finale, but he didn't play too much, which instead allowed Mecole Hardman (58 snaps), Richie James (48 snaps) and Justyn Ross (38 snaps) to claim the vast majority of action at wide receiver. Watson had played 45 percent or more of the offensive snaps in each of the previous seven games, and he will presumably claim that type of role in the postseason. Watson closes out the regular season with 27 catches for 460 yards and three touchdowns on 53 targets, finishing second among Chiefs wideouts in all of the categories to rookie Rashee Rice.
