Watts signed a reserve/future contract with the Steelers on Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official website reports.

Watts spent a good chunk of the 2023 campaign with Pittsburgh's practice squad, failing to appear in a game. The wide receiver went unselected in the 2023 NFL Draft after a collegiate career at Tulane and he'll look to earn a shot to make his professional debut with the Steelers in 2024.

Fitzpatrick signed a reserve/future contract with the Steelers on Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official website reports.

Fitzpatrick spent the entire 2023 season with Pittsburgh's practice unit, playing three snaps with the special-teams unit in the Steelers' Week 4 loss. The wide receiver will now look to compete for an active roster spot with Pittsburgh in 2024.

Callaway signed a reserve/future contract with the Steelers on Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official website reports.

Callaway joined the Saints' practice squad in November and he appeared in three games down the stretch with the team, failing to garner a target over 27 offensive snaps. He'll now look to impress the Steelers this offseason in an attempt to earn an active roster spot in 2024.

Mims signed a reserve/future contract with the Steelers on Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official website reports.

Mims joined Pittsburgh's practice unit in October, failing to appear in a game during the 2023 campaign. The wide receiver will now stick around for the offseason and attempt to crack the team's initial 53-man roster ahead of the 2024 season.

The Colts signed Bynum to a reserve/future contract Wednesday.

Bynum played one offensive snap for the Chargers during the 2023 season, failing to register a statistic. He closed out the season on Los Angeles' practice squad and will look for a new opportunity in Indianapolis.

Reed (chest) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice.

Reed was also listed as limited on Tuesday's estimated practice report, so the wideout will have one more chance to upgrade to full participation ahead of Saturday's divisional-round playoff game against the 49ers. In Green Bay's 48-32 wild-card win over the Cowboys this past Sunday, Reed logged 26 of 56 snaps on offense and was held without a catch on three targets.

Watson (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice.

Watson returned for Green Bay's wild-card win over Dallas after missing the final five games of the regular season, though he played only 41 percent of his team's snaps on offense and was targeted just once. While the limited workload likely was related to his prolonged absence, the Packers' impressive depth at wide receiver may also have been a factor. As such, Watson is no lock to return to his pre-injury role even if he continues to practice and avoid setbacks ahead of Saturday's divisional-round game in San Francisco.

Toney (hip/ankle) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Toney, who last suited up for the Chiefs' 27-17 win over the Patriots on Dec. 17, also practiced in a limited fashion last week, but he was subsequently made inactive for Saturday's wild-card win over the Dolphins. With another limited session in the books Wednesday, Toney appears to have a chance to return to action in Sunday's divisional round playoff game against the Bills.

Flowers (calf) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Flowers' ability to take every rep Wednesday confirms the general feeling that the wideout was never in danger of missing Saturday's divisional-round game against Houston. He probably would have been able to play in the Ravens' Week 18 loss to the Steelers and in the wild-card round if he had been needed, but now that he's had some extra time to heal up from the calf injury, Flowers should be ready to serve as the No. 1 receiver this weekend against the Texans. Quarterback Lamar Jackson may even have his full complement of receiving weapons, as tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) also managed a full practice Wednesday and appears to be a strong candidate to be activated from injured reserve ahead of the playoff opener.

Woods (hip) remained a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Woods was also deemed limited in Tuesday's session, but at this stage, the Texans haven't suggested that the wideout will miss Saturday's divisional-round game against the Ravens. Thursday's injury report will clarify whether Woods heads into the weekend with a designation or is fully cleared to play.
