Sims was restored to the Steelers' practice squad from the COVID-19 list Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sims has only appeared in one game for the Steelers this season, in Week 10 against the Lions. Now healthy, he can return to practice with the team.

The Steelers placed Sims (undisclosed) on the practice squad COVID-19 list Saturday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Washington waived Sims in the midst of the preseason, after which he spent roughly a week with Buffalo before not making it past cut-down day. Since then, he's resided on Pittsburgh's practice squad and even earned an elevation Week 10 against Detroit, going without a target on four offensive snaps. Now that he's on the COVID-19 list, Sims isn't eligible to jump up to the active roster until he clears league protocols.

Sims reverted to the Steelers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

Sims got the nod with Chase Claypool (toe) out against the Lions on Sunday. He saw five snaps of offense, but never received a target. Depending on Claypool's availability going forward, Sims will work toward another opportunity with the active roster.

Sims was elevated from Pittsburgh's practice squad Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Sims will provide some depth at wide receiver with Chase Claypool (toe) sidelined Sunday against the Lions. The 24-year-old Sims has 28 NFL appearances under his belt, all with Washington, totaling 61 catches and five touchdowns in those games.

The Steelers signed Sims to their practice squad Monday, independent NFL journalist Aaron Wilson reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sims spent the last two seasons in Washington. He appeared in 12 contests and recorded 27 catches for 265 yards and one touchdown. The Steelers only kept five wide receivers on their initial 53-man roster, so Sims will be a likely candidate to get called up during the regular season.

The Bills cut Sims on Tuesday, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sims linked up with the Bills on Aug. 25, but his tenure with the team has already run dry. After appearing in 28 contests with Washington over the last two seasons, Sims will now need to search for a depth role elsewhere. Over 12 games in 2020, he racked up 27 catches for 265 yards and one touchdown.

Sims signed with the Bills on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Sims entered Week 1 of 2020 as Washington's No. 2 receiver, but he injured his toe in September and was limited to a depth role once he returned. The team then released him Monday, having vastly improved its WR depth in the offseason. Sims now heads to Buffalo, where Isaiah McKenzie's shoulder injury (of unknown severity) has the Bills looking for a backup plan to handle return work and gadget plays. Sims is an obvious fit, albeit with some ball-security concerns when it comes to punt returns.

Sims was cut by Washington on Monday, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ron Rivera and Co. prefer DeAndre Carter for return work on special teams and Adam Humphries for slot snaps on offense. Sims latched on as an undrafted rookie in 2019 and finished out his rookie campaign with 240 yards and four TDs over the final four weeks, but he was either mediocre or injured for most of 2020, sliding down the depth chart after starting the first two games. Sims should sign with another team soon enough, or at least with a practice squad in a matter of weeks.

Sims appears to be on the roster bubble this summer, according to ESPN's John Keim.

EDGE Analysis

Sims made the team as an undrafted rookie in 2019 and even scored four TDs over the final four weeks of the season, but he then managed just one score (and 265 receiving yards) in 12 games last year. His ability to contribute in the return game should help his cause, but it won't necessarily be enough to guarantee a roster spot after Washington added wideouts Curtis Samuel, Adam Humphries and Dyami Brown (a third-round pick) this offseason. Sims likely will line up with the second-team offense at the start of training camp, while competition for kick/punt returns includes WRs DeAndre Carter and Isaiah Wright and CB Danny Johnson.

Sims caught 27 of 37 targets for 265 yards and a touchdown in 12 regular-season games during the 2020 campaign.

EDGE Analysis

Sims opened the year as Washington's No. 2 wide receiver, after scoring four TDs over the final three weeks of his 2019 rookie campaign. The team even experimented with giving him more snaps on the perimeter at the beginning of the season, but Sims moved back to the slot after a toe injury sent him to IR for Weeks 4-8. He then averaged just 3.2 targets and 18.0 receiving yards over his final nine games of the regular season, before catching three passes for 33 yards and a TD in the playoff loss to Tampa. The speedy young wideout is under contract for one more season, but he could face competition for a roster spot, as he struggled with ball security on punt returns and never quite established himself as a key part of the Washington offense.
