The Titans signed Harrison to a reserve/future contract Monday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Harrison joined the Titans' practice squad Sept. 1 after failing to make the 53-man roster following training camp. He did not appear in a game in 2023 and will have a chance to make the active roster in 2024.

Sills signed a reserve/future contract with the Broncos on Monday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Sills appeared in three games with the Broncos in 2023, failing to garner a target over 16 offensive snaps and spending the majority of the rest of the season with the team's practice squad. He'll now have a shot to attempt to crack Denver's active roster ahead of the 2024 campaign.

Dorsett signed a reserve/future contract with the Broncos on Monday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Dorsett spent the entirety of the 2023 campaign with Denver's practice squad, joining the active roster twice during the year and failing to record a reception on three targets while playing 34 offensive snaps. The wide receiver will now look to earn a full-time role with Denver during training camp this coming summer.

The Jets signed McCutcheon to a reserve/future contract Monday.

McCutcheon landed on the Jets' practice squad Oct. 24 after being cut by the Texans two weeks prior. He did not appear in a game this season and will have a chance to crack New York's 53-man roster for 2024.

The Jets signed Taylor to a reserve/future contract Monday.

Taylor spent the season on the Jets' practice squad. He was called up three times and accumulated two catches on four targets for 13 yards. Taylor will have a chance to compete for a spot on the Jets' 53-man roster for the 2024 season.

Thielen caught two of three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 9-0 loss to the Buccaneers.

Thielen was one of the very few bright spots on the Panthers this season and the main target rookie quarterback Bryce Young could consistently connect with. The 33-year-old caught 103 passes -- the second most of his career -- on 137 targets for 1,014 yards and four touchdowns. Despite a new front office and coaching staff set to arrive in Carolina this offseason, the veteran Thielen remains under contract for 2024, when he figures to serve as a reliable outlet for Young even if the team improves the supporting cast around him.

McCloud recorded three catches (on four targets) for 22 yards, one carry for seven yards and two punt returns for 17 yards during Sunday's 21-20 loss to the Rams.

McCloud completed an IR stint of five games and was able to suit up for the regular-season finale, and he got a bit more run on offense (59 percent share) than normal with the 49ers sitting out key starters and capping fellow WRs Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk to cameos. In the end, McCloud's output Sunday pushed him to a 12-135-0 line on 15 targets and three carries for 30 yards in 12 appearances on the campaign. When San Francisco next takes the field in the divisional round on Saturday, Jan. 20 or Sunday, Jan. 21, he likely will be contained to return duties with Samuel, Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings (concussion) handling most of the work at wide receiver.

Jones caught two passes for 13 yards in Sunday's loss to the Giants.

Jones didn't do much in Sunday's regular-season finale, though he did manage double-digit receiving yards for the second straight week, something he failed to do in his first 11 games as an Eagle. He'll finish the season with 11 catches for 74 yards and three scores.

Coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that he's optimistic Waddle (ankle) will be able to play in Saturday's playoff game against the Chiefs, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

Waddle pushed to play Week 18 against the Bills, but Miami's medical staff advised against it, suggesting he could do more harm than good. The week of rest sounds like it will be good for Waddle, who has battled various minor injuries for most of the season. The Dolphins need all hands on deck on offense with their defense losing significant starters and contributors to injuries.

Pickens wasn't targeted and rushed once for three yards during the Steelers' 17-10 win over Baltimore on Saturday.

Pickens had the two highest receiving yardage totals of his career in his last two appearances by securing 11 of 15 targets for 326 yards. Although Mason Rudolph remained under center for Saturday's regular-season finale, Pickens didn't draw any targets. He improved across the board during his second professional season, securing 63 of 106 targets for 1,140 yards and five touchdowns while rushing three times for 18 yards. While his production was somewhat inconsistent, he should be one of Pittsburgh's top options in the passing game during Sunday's wild-card matchup against Buffalo.
