The Chiefs signed Washington to the practice squad Tuesday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

Washington spent most of the 2024 regular season on the Chiefs' practice squad, and he was elevated for Week 8 against the Raiders and played 10 snaps (five on offense, five on special teams) but otherwise didn't show up in the box score. He was cut from the practice squad Dec. 30 in order to make room for linebacker Blake Lynch, but Washington is back on the practice squad and will be available for elevation to the active roster during the Chiefs' playoff run.

Harty (knee) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice.

Harty has been on the Ravens' injured reserve since Oct. 19 due to a knee injury. His 21-day practice window to return from IR opened Tuesday, and on the same day he ended up going through practice without any restrictions. If he's able to participate in practice fully over the next two days, Harty could be activated from IR and play in the Ravens' wild-card round game against the Steelers on Saturday.

Cincinnati signed Pryor to a reserve/future contract Tuesday.

Pryor was signed to the Bengals' practice squad Aug. 29 after failing to make the team's 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He was elevated to the active roster for three games (playing in two) and finished with one catch for nine yards, which came in Week 9 against the Raiders. Pryor will participate in OTAs and minicamp with the Bengals when the new league year begins March 12, and the 26-year-old wide receiver will spend the offseason working on earning a spot on the Bengals' roster for the 2025 season.

Burgess signed a reserve/future contract with the Bengals on Tuesday.

Burgess was signed by Cincinnati as an undrafted free agent in May of 2024. He was unable to make the Bengals' 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but he opted to stick around on the practice squad. Burgess wasn't elevated to the active roster during the regular season, but he'll remain in Cincinnati and will participate in OTAs and minicamp during the offseason.

The Dolphins signed Black to a reserve/future contract Tuesday.

Black was signed to the Dolphins' practice squad Oct. 23, but he wasn't elevated to the active roster for a single game. The 26-year-old wide receiver's only NFL regular-season action came in 2021 with the Jets, when he played in Week 18 against the Bills and caught one pass (on two targets) for 10 yards.

The Chargers announced Tuesday that Fehoko (elbow) has had his 21-day window to return from IR opened, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Fehoko could potentially return from IR as early as Saturday's wild-card round playoff matchup against the Texans. Once cleared to retake the field, Fehoko will stand to contribute in a depth role in the Chargers' wide-receiver corps.

Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh said Palmer (foot) isn't in line to practice Tuesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

After exiting the Chargers' Week 17 win over the Patriots with a foot injury, Palmer didn't practice in any fashion last week before sitting out a 34-20 win over the Raiders in the regular-season finale, and he's yet to take any tangible steps forward in his recovery as the Chargers begin prepping for Saturday's wild-card game in Houston. In Palmer's absence in Week 18, DJ Chark stepped in as the Chargers' No. 3 wideout and finished with a six-yard touchdown reception across three targets.

The Ravens announced Tuesday that Harty (knee) has been designated for return from injured reserve.

Harty's 21-day practice window now opens, making him eligible to return to action potentially as early as Saturday's wild-card matchup against the Steelers. A knee injury has kept Harty sidelined since Week 6, but once cleared to play, he's expected to resume handling a key role in the return game for Baltimore.

Flowers (knee) wasn't seen taking part in practice Tuesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Flowers' absence from the field Tuesday as the Ravens opened prep for Saturday's wild-card game against the Steelers wasn't particularly surprising, after the wideout was forced out of this past Saturday's 35-10 win over the Browns with a right knee injury. Though head coach John Harbaugh wouldn't confirm Monday that Flowers was dealing with a sprain, the second-year receiver seems to have avoided a season-ending injury and is considered day-to-day. His availability for Saturday remains unclear until he's able to return to practice, however.

The Chargers cut Shenault from their practice squad Tuesday.

In a corresponding move, the Chargers signed running back Ezekiel Elliott to their practice squad. Shenault will now have to look for his next opportunity to make an impression elsewhere.
