Tinsley and the Bengals agreed on a one-year contract extension Monday.

Tinsley caught eight of 24 targets for 116 yards and two touchdowns over 17 contests during the regular season, and he'll now stick around Cincinnati for another year. The wide receiver will compete for a top reserve spot behind Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins in 2026.

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Cowing (IR, hamstring) will have his practice window opened Wednesday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Cowing spent the entire 2025 season recovering from a hamstring injury that he suffered during training camp. The 24-year-old is available to return for the wild-card round against the Eagles and will likely see a mix of reps on offense and special teams should he play.

The Browns signed Floriea to a reserve/future contract Monday.

The rookie out of Kent State spent the year on Cleveland's practice squad and did not play in an NFL game after going undrafted in 2025. Floriea will participate in the Browns' offseason activities and attempt to earn a spot on their active roster next season.

Raymond caught 24 of 30 targets for 289 yards and one touchdown while also adding 19 yards on two carries over 15 contests during the regular season. He also added 161 kickoff-return yards and 241 yards and a score as a punt returner.

Raymond finished fifth on the team in receiving yards while his one receiving touchdown ranked fourth at his position behind Amon-Ra St. Brown (11), Jameson Williams (seven) and Isaac TeSlaa (six) this season. The wideout was able to reel in seven more passes than he did during the 2024 campaign, but his 24 catches still represented the second fewest of his five seasons in Detroit. Raymond appears to be most valuable as a special-teams asset, and he'll enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent.

Thielen secured three of six targets for 43 yards during Sunday's 26-24 win over the Ravens.

Thielen was on the field for 67 percent of the Steelers' offensive snaps during Sunday's regular-season finale, and he topped 40 receiving yards for the second time in five appearances since joining the team. DK Metcalf (suspension) is slated to return to action for next Monday's wild-card matchup against Houston, so Thielen's role will likely decrease during postseason action. Overall, Thielen had a limited role between the Vikings and Steelers during the regular season, securing 19 of 35 targets for 186 yards and no touchdowns across 16 appearances.

TeSlaa caught 16 of 27 targets for 239 yards and six touchdowns over 17 contests during the regular season.

TeSlaa wasn't used often in his rookie campaign, but when he was, he was finding the end zone at an impressive clip. The wide receiver finished third on the team at his position in receiving touchdowns behind Amon-Ra St. Brown (11) and Jameson Williams (seven), with four of his scores coming in Detroit's final six games of the year. TeSlaa's 6-foot-4 frame and impressive contested-catch ability make him a valuable red-zone asset, and he'll look to carve out an every-down role for himself in his second season with the Lions.

Rams head coach Sean McVay said Monday that Whittington will have an MRI to determine the severity of his knee injury, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Whittington suffered a knee injury in the Rams' Week 18 win over the Cardinals and was unable to return. The 25-year-old's status for the team's wild-card rematch against the Panthers is unclear. Tutu Atwell and Xavier Smith will likely see more reps if Whittington is unable to return for the first round of the playoffs.

The Colts signed Pancol to a reserve/future contract Monday.

The Duke product signed to the Colts' practice squad in late November after being waived by the Jaguars with an injury designation in August. Pancol did not appear in an NFL game in 2025. The 25-year-old will participate in Indy's offseason activities and attempt to earn a spot on the active roster next season.

The Colts signed Owen to a reserve/future contract Monday.

The undrafted rookie out of Ohio spent a majority of the season on Indianapolis' practice squad, appearing in two games with 20 total snaps (19 on special teams and one offensive) and accounting for 143 total return yards. Owen will have the opportunity to participate in the Colts' offseason activities and attempt to earn a spot on their active roster next season.

Burks caught two of four targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Eagles.

Burks worked as Washington's No. 3 receiver throughout much of the second half of the season, ultimately catching just 10 of 22 targets for 130 yards and a touchdown in eight games. The 2022 first-round pick is scheduled for unrestricted free agency this offseason.
