The Texans reverted Johnson to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Johnson got his first elevation of the season Week 18 against Indianapolis and logged four snaps on offense along with five snaps on special teams without recording any stats. His opportunity was largely a result of both Noah Brown (back) and Robert Woods (hip) sitting out the victory that earned the Texans a playoff spot. Johnson's likelihood of being elevated again for Saturday's wild-card game against Cleveland likely depends on whether Brown and/or Woods will be able to make it back into action.

The Raiders reverted Cole to the practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Cole was elevated for the first time in 2023, but he was a healthy scratch for the Raiders' regular-season finale. He hasn't played since 2022, when he appeared in 14 games for Las Vegas and accumulated 10 catches for 141 yards and a touchdown while adding 79 punt return yards.

DuBose reverted to the Packers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

DuBose was a healthy scratch for Week 18 despite Christian Watson (hamstring) being ruled out ahead of the Packers' regular-season finale. It was the only time DuBose was elevated to the active roster this season, and the rookie seventh-round pick will have to wait until 2024 to make his NFL debut unless he's needed during Green Bay's upcoming postseason run.

The Bengals reverted Morgan to the practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Morgan played 22 snaps on special teams without recording a stat in the Week 18 win over the Browns. The 27-year-old wide receiver was elevated by the Bengals three times this season and played 52 of his 56 snaps on special teams.

Woods (Achilles) had his suspension lifted by the NFL on Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Woods was given a six-game suspension in early December for violating the league's personal conduct policy, and he's now served his punishment for the required number of contests. The ban didn't impact his ability to take the field, as the wideout ruptured his Achilles in early April and was consequently ruled out for the season. Woods will look to be healthy enough to participate in training camp this summer.

The Colts activated McKenzie from the reserve-suspended list Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

McKenzie was suspended by Indianapolis on Dec. 19 for conduct detrimental to the team. He did not play in the final three games of the regular season and finished the year with 11 catches on 14 targets for 82 yards over 13 games.

Thomas signed a reserve/future contract with the Vikings on Monday, Craig Peters of the team's official website reports.

Thomas spent the entirety of the 2023 season on the Vikings' practice squad, failing to be elevated to the team's active roster at any point. The wide receiver will now look to impress during the offseason and attempt to earn a spot on Minnesota's 53-man roster ahead of the 2024 campaign.

Harry signed a reserve/future contract with the Vikings on Monday, Craig Peters of the team's official website reports.

Harry joined the Vikings' practice squad ahead of the 2023 campaign, failing to record a catch while appearing in nine games with the team during the year. The wide receiver will now look to crack their initial 53-man roster ahead of the 2024 season.

Chisena reverted to the Cardinals' practice squad before the team waived him Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Chisena played 12 snaps on special teams in the Cardinals' regular-season finale against the Seahawks. He appeared in four games in 2023 and played all but one of his 54 snaps on special teams without recording a stat.

Jackson signed a reserve/future contract with the Vikings on Monday, Craig Peters of the team's official website reports.

Jackson spent the 2023 season going back and forth from the Vikings' practice squad and their active roster, recording two receptions on four targets for nine yards while playing 79 offensive snaps over seven appearances with the team. He'll now look to crack the team's 53-man roster ahead of the 2024 campaign.
