Diggs (oblique) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice.

Diggs dealt with the same injury last week, logging just one limited practice before catching six of nine targets for 128 yards and a touchdown in the 27-24 win over Indianapolis. He played 93 percent of snaps in the contest and should see a similar workload Saturday night against the Ravens.

Mickens returned two kickoffs for 26 yards and ran back two punts for an additional 16 yards in the Buccaneers' 31-23 wild-card win over Washington on Saturday night.

Mickens once again served as the Buccaneers' full-time returner in the win, but he remained nearly absent from the offense while logging just three snaps from scrimmage. Mickens' role is expected to remain the same in Sunday evening's divisional-round matchup against the Saints.

Thompson secured a future contract with Seattle on Monday, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

Thompson is yet to make his NFL debut, but after a successful final collegiate season at Toledo, the receiver will hopefully see the field in the upcoming year. With the Seahawks current list of talented receivers, it is likely Thompson will serve as a depth option.

Hart secured a future contract with the Seahawks on Monday, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

Hart spent the 2020 season being bumped on and off the active roster, seeing action in 13 regular-season games overall and catching his only target for three yards. It will likely take a few injuries to players in front of him before the 24-year-old receiver will grow into a larger role.

Humphrey reverted to the Saints' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Humphrey finished third among Saints' wide receivers with 45 snaps on offense (54 percent) in Sunday's wild-card win over the Bears, although he was held to just one 14-yard reception on his lone target. The Saints put a lot of trust in Humphrey for a playoff game, so he stands a good chance to be elevated from the practice squad for the NFC divisional-round game against the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Dorsett (foot) didn't play a game during the 2020 season.

Dorsett suffered a right foot injury during training camp and eventually underwent surgery to remove bone spurs from the injured foot in November. The 2015 first-round pick never suited up as a result, but head coach Pete Carroll relayed that he wants to bring Dorsett back next year, according to Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times. Dorsett would be yet another burner at Russell Wilson's disposal, as he heavily targeted both DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett in 2020. The 28-year-old wideout will officially become a free agent in March if the two sides can't reach a deal.

Pettis caught two passes for 43 yards and a touchdown in the Giants' regular-season finale.

Actually, one of the catches was a trap that Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy failed to challenge, but who's counting? In any event, the 2018 second-round pick is still only 25 and should get another chance to carve out a role somewhere.

After a promising rookie season, Slayton put up a modest 96-50-751-3 line in 16 games.

Slayton's yards per target dropped from 8.8 in 2019 to 7.8 in 2020, and he made fewer big plays despite an extra 12 targets. He also dropped five passes after not dropping a single one as a rookie. Slayton is still the Giants' best deep threat, and he should be more productive if the offensive line gives Daniel Jones -- or whoever is under center in 2021 -- more time to look down the field.

Foster played in four games for the Washington Football Team in 2020, catching two of six targets for 37 yards.

Foster hasn't been able to recapture his 2018 rookie magic from Buffalo, but he did play a lot of special-teams snaps for Washington in December and January, potentially creating a path to a roster spot in 2021. The Alabama product isn't likely to generate much interest as a restricted free agent this offseason, after catching just five passes in 17 games the past two years.

Brown signed a reserve/future contract with Washington on Monday, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

An undrafted rookie out of Colorado, Brown suited up in one game for Washington this year, logging four targetless snaps on offense. Brown was productive in his senior year at college with a 56-707-5 line, but his first three years at the school were relatively quiet. The 23-year-old will battle for a depth role in 2021.
