K.J. Osborn WR | TEN
Vikings' K.J. Osborn: Stacks up another solid season
Osborn caught 60 of 90 targets for 650 yards and five touchdowns while playing all 17 games in the 2022 regular season.
The 25-year-old reprised his role as the Vikings' No. 3 wideout behind superstar Justin Jefferson and longtime veteran Adam Thielen. However, Osborn finished the season as the team's fourth receiving option after that pair and tight end T.J. Hockenson, who accumulated 60 receptions for 519 yards after being acquired from Detroit at the trade deadline. The third-year wideout still posted almost the exact same stat line from his breakout 2021 (50-655-7 on 82 targets). Osborn also capped off the season on a solid note by hauling in two of three targets for 20 yards and his sixth touchdown between regular season and playoffs during the wild-card loss to the Giants. With Thielen seemingly on a decline over the past two seasons, Osborn could be in line for a bigger role heading into the final year of his rookie contract in 2023.

Marcus Kemp WR | WAS
Marcus Kemp: Shifts back to practice squad
Kemp reverted to the Chiefs' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Kemp was elevated for the fourth time this season ahead of Saturday's divisional-round victory versus Jacksonville. However, the 6-foot-4 wideout ultimately was ruled a healthy scratch, marking his first time being deemed inactive this season. Kemp could be a candidate to be elevated once again if wideout Mecole Harman (pelvis) remains out during Sunday's AFC Championship Game against Cincinnati.

Giants' Dre Miller: Inks new deal with Giants
The Giants signed Miller to a reserve/future contract Monday.
Miller joined up with the Giants as an undrafted free agent in May, but he broke his wrist in early August and was placed on injured reserve. The team then waived him from IR with an injury settlement Sept. 2, and he went un-signed before rejoining the Giants' practice squad Oct. 25. Miller now will look to stay healthy heading into the 2023 campaign in order to make his NFL debut.

Steelers' Dan Chisena: Lands future deal
The Steelers signed Chisena to a reserve/future contract Monday.
Chisena signed a practice-squad deal with the Vikings after failing to make the team's initial 53-man roster and saw two elevations during the 2022 campaign, though 24 of his 26 snaps during those contests came on special teams. Minnesota didn't sign him to a reserve/future contract after being eliminated from the playoffs, making the third-year wideout a free agent. With his new deal, he'll be able to join the Steelers' organization and compete for a roster spot during the offseason.
