The Jets signed Winston to a reserve/future contract Monday. Winston signed with the Jets' practice squad in late November after failing to make the Seahawks' 53-man roster before the season. The Washington State product has appeared in just two games since going undrafted in 2020, catching his only target for five yards.
The Jets signed Winston to their practice squad Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Winston has been bouncing around practice squads for the better part of the last four seasons. He's appeared in four career regular-season games, but none have come since the 2021 campaign.
The Seahawks cut Winston from their practice squad Monday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports. Winston returned to the Seahawks' practice squad after failing to make the team's initial 53-man roster, but it now appears that Seattle has moved on from the 27-year-old once again. Winston appeared in one regular-season game with the Seahawks in 2023, recording no stats while playing just two total snaps.
Winston signed with the Seahawks' practice squad Wednesday. Winston spent all of 2023 on the Seahawks' practice squad, and he saw action in Week 7 against the Cardinals, during which he played two offensive snaps. Winston had a solid preseason, finishing with eight catches (on 10 targets) for 99 yards and one touchdown across three games. He'll stick around on Seattle's taxi squad and stay ready for a promotion to the active roster during the upcoming season.
The Seahawks waived Winston on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Winston has been toggling between the Seahawks' practice squad and active roster for the better part of the last two years. Now 27, Winston has one career catch across four regular-season games. He saw 63 offensive snaps this preseason, logging an 8-98-1 receiving line.
Winston caught three of four targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 16-15 preseason loss to the Titans. Winston started the game and scored on a 23-yard go route from Sam Howell in the first quarter. The 27-year-old now has 77 yards through two preseason games, the most of any Seahawks receiver. Winston is making a good case to earn one of the final roster spots, and his usage as a punt returner works in his favor, too.
