Carolina Panthers WR David Moore (elbow) was activated from the Reserve/Injured list Tuesday, Jan. 6. WR Hunter Renfrow was waived.
| Footballguys view: Moore's 21-day window to practice was ending Tuesday, so he had to be activated today, or he'd have remained on IR. He's been out since an elbow injury in Week 4, but he's been a valuable late-season and postseason contributor for head coach Dave Canales on three teams now. |

Pittsburgh Steelers WR DK Metcalf was removed from the Reserve/Suspended by Commissioner list on Monday, Jan. 5. Metcalf served a two-game suspension for an altercation with a fan.
| Footballguys view: Acquired in a trade with the Seattle Seahawks last March, Metcalf had a solid debut season with Pittsburgh, catching 59 passes for 850 yards and recording seven total touchdowns in 15 games. Luckily, the Steelers were able to pull off a Week 18 win over the Baltimore Ravens, earning a spot in the playoffs and opening the door for Metcalf's return next Monday, as the Texans travel to Pittsburgh to face the Steelers. |

Link to storySan Francisco 49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) recently aggravated the posterior cruciate ligament injury in his knee and will be reevaluated later in the week, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.
| Footballguys view: Pearsall's situation has remained tenuous since he returned from a right knee injury in Week 11. He reinjured his ankle and knee in Week 15 against Tennessee, missed the following week against Indianapolis, and then returned last week against Chicago. Saturday was Pearsall's eighth missed game. For the season, he had 36 receptions for 528 yards. He had four catches for 108 yards in the Week 1 meeting with Seattle. Kendrick Bourne and Demarcus Robinson move up in the rotation behind Jauan Jennings in Pearsall's absence. That will continue as needed. |
Cincinnati Bengals DE Isaiah Foskey, LB Joe Giles-Harris, TE Cam Grandy, LB Shaka Heyward, S PJ Jules and WR Mitchell Tinsley signed one-year contract extensions with the Bengals Monday, Jan. 5. Financial terms were not disclosed.

San Francisco 49ers WR Jacob Cowing (hamstring) is expected to have his 21-day practice window opened this week, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.
| Footballguys view: Cowing injured his hamstring in the preseason and went on injured reserve. The 49ers drafted Cowing in the fourth round in 2024, and he caught four passes for 80 yards in 15 games as a rookie, while averaging 8.8 yards on 28 punt returns. The 49ers could use the help at the position, with Brandon Aiyuk having missed the season, and with Ricky Pearsall, Jauan Jennings, and Jordan Watkins having missed time with injuries. |
Free-agent TE Sal Cannella (Browns), WR Luke Floriea (Browns), RB Ahmani Marshall (Browns) and TE Caden Prieskorn (Browns) signed Reserve/Future contracts with the Cleveland Browns Monday, Jan. 5. Terms of the contracts were not disclosed.

New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) said he is not sure if he will be ready for the start of the 2026 regular season and it will depend on how his body feels leading up to the game.
| Footballguys view: Nabers said he had "a lot messed up in my knee, which I was told was successfully operated on." He did not need a second surgery. Nabers has not decided where he'll rehab -- New York, in Dallas, where he underwent surgery, at home in Louisiana, or somewhere else. He said the foot injury that he dealt with last offseason has healed. Nabers has 127 catches for 1,475 yards and nine touchdowns in 19 career games. With a coaching change coming, Nabers' progress is something we'll be watching closely over the coming weeks. |
Los Angeles Rams WR Davante Adams (hamstring) is expected to be available for the Wild Card playoff game, according to head coach Sean McVay.
| Footballguys view: It seems that making sure to get Adams healthy for the postseason has been a priority. It also appears the mission is accomplished. Adams has been sidelined since aggravating a hamstring injury in Los Angeles' Dec. 14 victory over Detroit. Though he played just 14 games this season, Adams still finished with a league-leading 14 touchdowns, having caught 60 passes for 789 yards. |

Baltimore Ravens WR Zay Flowers caught four passes (on six targets) for 138 yards and a pair of touchdowns during the team's Week 18 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
| Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com pointed out, Zay Flowers saved his best for last, delivering his top fantasy outing of the season in Week 18. The 24-year-old scored multiple touchdowns in a game for the first time in 2025, capping off a breakout campaign in style. He set new career highs across the board -- 86 catches, 1,211 yards-- and his recent surge (five touchdowns over the last four games) pushed him to six total scores, matching his rookie total. Flowers will head into a contract year in 2026 as the Ravens' clear-cut No. 1 receiver, a role that comes with plenty of fantasy appeal. |

Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua caught 10 of his 11 targets for 76 yards and a touchdown and added two carries for 24 yards in a 37-20 win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 18.
| Footballguys view: Nacua set career-highs with 129 catches, 1,715 yards receiving, and 10 touchdown receptions. He finishes the season as the NFL's leader in receptions, beating out Trey McBride, with whom he was tied coming into Week 18. McBride caught seven passes to finish three behind Nacua. The Rams star came close to catching Jaxon Smith-Njigba for the league lead in receiving yards, too, coming up just 78 yards shy in one fewer game than the Seahawks wideout played. Nacua had 1,715 yards, and Smith-Njigba finished with 1,793, but Nacua led in yards per game. |
