Re-signs with Washington
Sims re-signed Wednesday with the Commanders on a two-year, $3 million contract, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Sims sticks with the only team he's ever known, having mostly served as a backup since first catching on with Washington in 2018. He made 10 starts in 2020 and finished the season with 477 yards, but then dropped to a 15-211-2 receiving line in 14 games last season (three starts). He'll likely be fourth or fifth on the wideout depth chart entering training camp this summer.

Finishes year with 15 catches
Sims finished the 2021 season with 15 catches for 211 yards and two touchdowns on 23 targets, making three starts in 14 games.
Analysis: Sims finished out the season as Washington's No. 2 receiver -- at least in terms of snaps -- for the second straight year, though this time he made only three starts instead of 10. In addition to starting seven fewer contests than in 2020, he finished with about half the receiving production in each category, apart from TDs (32-477-1 on 48 targets in 2020). The 26-year-old Sims is now scheduled for free agency this spring, and he should catch on somewhere as a depth receiver and special teams…read more

Racks up four catches
Sims recorded four catches on five targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to Philadelphia.
Analysis: Sims continued to see a significant role in Washington's offense, and he managed a season-high in targets and receptions. He also finished second on the team in yards behind only Terry McLaurin on the strength of catches that went for 18, 16 and 12 yards. Sims should maintain a similar role for a Week 18 matchup against the Giants, though Washington's offensive inconsistency make it difficult to expect strong production.

Starts, but no catches
Sims got the start and played 62 percent of offensive snaps in Sunday's 56-14 loss to Dallas, but he was unable to catch a pass on three targets.
Analysis: Sims caught three of four targets for 69 yards and a TD two weeks earlier in the first game against Dallas. He's since seen considerable playing time in back-to-back games, but with just one catch (for 13 yards) to show for it, he may slide back to a timeshare with the likes of Dyami Brown, DeAndre Carter and Dax Milne. There's still minimal fantasy potential for Washington pass catchers behind Terry McLaurin.

Back from COVID-19 list
Washington reinstated Sims (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Sunday.
Analysis: The NFL's decision to push back Washington's Week 15 game against the Eagles from Sunday to Tuesday provided enough time for Sims -- and likely more players to follow -- to clear all COVID-19-related protocols and help alleviate some depth concerns for the Football Team, which still has 13 members of the roster on the list and several more on injured reserve. The receiver room is one of the few position groups on the roster that hasn't been hit hard by COVID-19-related absences or injury, so…read more

Tests positive for virus
Sims' placement on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday was the result of a positive test of the virus, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Washington didn't officially provide an explanation beyond Sims' placement on the list, but Yates notes that 30 of the 31 of NFL players that landed on the list Wednesday tested positive for the virus, with Jordan Ranaan of ESPN.com relaying that Giants safety Xavier McKinney was placed on the list as an unvaccinated high-risk close contact. Because Sims is vaccinated, he'll be eligible to report back to the Football Team facility so long as he's asymptomatic for a 48-hour period and tests…read more

Lands on COVID list
Washington placed Sims on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.
Analysis: Sims helped fill in for an injured Terry McLaurin (concussion) and finished with 3-69-1 receiving line on four targets in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Cowboys. With both wideouts now in danger of missing this weekend's game in Philadelphia, there may be an opportunity for Curtis Samuel, DeAndre Carter or Dyami Brown to take on more snaps.

Leads team in receiving
Sims caught three of four targets for 69 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: Terry McLaurin (concussion) only played 33 offensive snaps, which opened the door for Sims to notch season-highs in both receptions and yards. The majority of the 6-foot-5 wideout's production came on a spectacular, 43-yard touchdown grab in the third quarter. Despite Sims' big play, Adam Humphries appeared to be the more consistent go-to guy with McLaurin out, as he led the team in both targets (seven) and receptions (four). If McLaurin is sidelined in Week 15, Sims, Humphries and DeAndre…read more

Hits pay dirt in win
Sims caught both of his targets for 19 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Panthers.
Analysis: Sims' touchdown came on a six-yard grab from Taylor Heinicke in the second quarter to tie the game. The score marks the wideout's first trip to the end zone of the season. The 25-year-old played just 11 of Washington's 67 offensive snaps in the victory, as he continues to be far down the team's pecking order of pass catchers.

Limited to 10 yards
Sims caught both of his targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 29-19 win over the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Sims had a big game against Tampa in the playoffs last year but placed just fifth in playing time among Washington's wide receivers in this one. He got 18 percent of the offensive snaps, following 21 percent share in the final game before Washington's Week 9 bye. Sims likely will stay in a reserve role for Week 11 at Carolina, though he does have starting experience and could be promoted back to the lineup eventually if DeAndre Carter struggles or gets hurt. But even then, Dax Milne took more…read more

Cleared to face Tampa
Sims (hamstring) will play in Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Sims is cleared to play while Curtis Samuel (groin) is ruled out and Dyami Brown (knee) listed as questionable, but even if the depth chart is thinned out, Sims may not be ahead of DeAndre Carter at this point. Carter had his best game of the season right before the Week 9 bye, catching three of six targets for 51 yards and a touchdown in the 17-10 loss to Denver. Sims saw two targets and only 15 snaps in the same game, though it was his first week back in the lineup after missing three in a…read more

Limited Thursday
Sims (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Sims has had his practice reps capped for two consecutive days to begin the week. However, if the 25-year-old is able to remain on the practice field in some capacity Friday, he should have a good chance to suit up Sunday against the Buccaneers.

Still dealing with hamstring
Sims (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Sims missed Weeks 5 through 7 with the hamstring injury, returning Week 8 to catch one of two targets for 20 yards while playing 15 snaps on offense (21 percent). He's apparently still bothered by his hamstring after a Week 9 bye, but he'll likely be able to play Sunday against the Buccaneers.

Returning to action Week 8
Sims (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday at Denver.
Analysis: On the heels of three consecutive games missed, Sims got back on the practice field in a limited capacity during Week 8 prep. It was enough activity for Washington to clear him to play for the first time since Week 4, and he could have more opportunity than he previously had with both Curtis Samuel (groin) and Dyami Brown (knee) sidelined. Still, Sims likely will be behind all of Terry McLaurin, Antonio Gibson, J.D. McKissic, Ricky Seals-Jones and Adam Humphries in the pecking order for targets…read more

Questionable for Week 8 return
Sims (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Denver, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Sims returned to practice Wednesday after missing the past three games. He saw just three targets on 35 offensive snaps over the first four weeks of the season, but there's a chance Sims joins the starting lineup if he's able to play Sunday, as both Curtis Samuel (groin) and Dyami Brown (knee) are ruled out. Sims previously was a starter for Washington's final 10 regular-season games last year, averaging 2.9 catches for 43.8 yards on 4.5 targets in that stretch.

Will miss third straight game
Sims (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Packers, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Sims hasn't practiced since leaving Washington's Week 4 win over the Falcons early with a hamstring injury. Terry McLaurin, Adam Humphries and Dyami Brown will garner the majority of the wideout snaps, but Dax Milne and DeAndre Carter have developed small roles with Sims and Curtis Samuel (groin) sidelined.

Sims (hamstring) missed Washington's practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Sims injured his hamstring in Washington's Week 4 win over the Falcons and has yet to play since then.

Expect DeAndre Carter and possibly Dax Milne to see snaps Sunday if Sims can't suit up.

Ruled out for Week 6
Sims (hamstring) won't play in Sunday's contest against the Chiefs, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: As expected, Sims will be held out for a second straight week and may be sidelined even longer. Curtis Samuel (groin) has been ruled out as well, and Terry McLaurin (hamstring) and Dyami Brown (knee) are both listed as questionable, so DeAndre Carter and Dax Milne may be in line for increased snaps against the Chiefs.

Sims (hamstring) is expected to miss an additional 1-2 weeks after Week 5, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Sims was already ruled out for the team's Week 5 matchup with the Saints, but now he is looking at an extended absence. After a 2020 season where he caught 32 balls for 477 yards and a touchdown in 16 games, he's only reeled in two catches for 32 yards this year. DeAndre Carter is expected to see an increased role in Week 5 and potentially beyond.

Limited to two snaps
Sims played two snaps on offense in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Chargers, catching his lone target for a 17-yard gain.
Analysis: There was some thought Sims and Dyami Brown would share the No. 2 receiver role with Curtis Samuel (groin) on injured reserve for at least the first three weeks of the season. Brown finished with just one catch for a loss of two yards on four targets, but he dominated playing time with a 93 percent snap share, while Sims got most of his work on special teams. It is possible Sims gets a little more playing time Week 2, but he won't be a recommended fantasy play for Thursday's game against the…read more

Could start Week 1?
Sims and Dyami Brown should get more playing time after Curtis Samuel (groin) was placed on injured reserve Friday, Peter Hailey of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Analysis: Brown, a rookie third-round pick, is more interesting from a fantasy standpoint, as Sims failed to attract targets last year -- averaging 4.5 in 10 starts -- while playing in an offense that allowed RB J.D. McKissic and TE Logan Thomas to hit triple digits. That said, Sims finished the year with 9.9 yards per target, and at 6-5, 215, he's probably a better blocker than the rookie. Washington could use one or both to replace Samuel in the No. 2 receiver role, while Adam Humphries and J.D.…read more

Loses fumbles
Sims caught two of three targets for 19 yards in Friday's preseason win over Cincinnati, but he lost a fumble on one of the receptions.
Analysis: If you're looking for a silver lining, the fumble did come while QB Ryan Fitzpatrick and the first-team offense were still on the field. Then again, Sims might not've been on the field with them if Curtis Samuel (groin) had been ready to play. In any case, the 6-5 wideout finds himself competing for a roster spot after starting for much of last season, as Washington added Samuel, Dyami Brown and Adam Humphries this offseason. Sims looks like the fourth or fifth option at wide receiver, if he…read more

Signs RFA tender
Sims signed his restricted free agent tender Wednesday.
Analysis: Sims waited a week before signing, ultimately unable to find a contract offer any better than the one-year, $2.13 million tender. The 2018 UDFA played only 56 offensive snaps in eight games through his first two seasons, before starting in 10 of his 16 appearances in 2020. Sims averaged 14.9 yards per catch and 9.9 per target last year, but he was targeted on only 12.2 percent of his routes, essentially making him an afterthought behind Terry McLaurin, Logan Thomas and J.D. McKissic. With…read more

Gets low-round tender
Washington extended a low-round tender to restricted free agent Sims on Tuesday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Sims went undrafted out of Alabama in 2018, so if he receives an offer sheet on the open market, Washington only has the right of first refusal and won't receive draft compensation if it opts not to match the deal. After putting up a 32-477-1 line on 49 targets in 16 games last season, Sims may draw some interest from other organizations, especially considering nine of his receptions went for 20-plus yards.

Eclipses century mark in loss
Sims brought in seven of 13 targets for 104 yards in Washington's 31-23 wild-card loss to the Buccaneers on Saturday night.
Analysis: Sims recorded a team-high 36-yard reception on his way to leading Washington in catches, receiving yards and targets. The third-year wideout eclipsed the century mark only once during the regular season, a 110-yard effort against the Giants in Week 9. After recording just two receptions for 27 yards in his first two seasons, Sims had a breakout of sorts in 2020 with a 32-477-1 line across 16 games.

Sims caught each of his five targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 20-14 win over the Eagles.
Analysis: Sims played every single snap on offense for a second straight week, making his 10th consecutive start to close out the season. He averaged 62.3 snaps but only 4.5 targets in those 10 starts, catching 29 of 45 targets for 438 yards. While he should keep his starting job for the playoffs, Sims will likely face more competition in the offseason.

Sims caught three of nine targets for 69 yards in Sunday's 20-13 loss to Carolina.

Apart from his 50-yard gain on a Dwayne Haskins scramble drill in the third quarter, Sims mostly had a tough go of it, producing just 19 yards on his other eight targets.

Meager yardage in defeat
Sims brought in five of eight targets for 26 yards in Washington's 20-15 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.
Analysis: Sims was unable to break free for any big gains, with his longest catch of the afternoon going for just 10 yards. The 24-year-old speedster has flashed in a couple of games this season with 92- and 110-yard efforts, but he's also been under 30 receiving yards in four of the last five contests alone, including a complete blanking over 55 snaps Week 10 against the Cowboys. Sims will continue as a boom-or-bust option in a Week 16 matchup against the Panthers.

Sims caught both of his targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 20-0 win over the Bengals.
Analysis: Sims got the start and played 84 percent of offensive snaps, but he was targeted only twice on Alex Smith's 25 pass attempts. The 6-foot-5 wideout continues to be highly efficient with his limited opportunities, averaging 2.5 catches for 51.5 yards on 3.0 targets per game since he became a starter in Week 11.

Retains starting role
Sims is expected to remain in the starting lineup Sunday against the Bengals with Dontrelle Inman (hamstring) inactive for the contest.
Analysis: Sims will likely serve as an outside receiver at the spot opposite Terry McLaurin, leaving Steven Sims and Isaiah Wright to share work out of the slot. Cam Sims has been a surprising source of big plays while Inman has been sidelined for the previous two games, hauling in seven of nine targets for 164 yards in those contests.

It was his third consecutive start and third game in a row playing at least 74 percent of snaps.

Picks up another start
Sims will serve as one of Washington's starting receivers Sunday in Detroit with Dontrelle Inman (hamstring) inactive for the game, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Though Washington returned Steven Sims from injured reserve ahead of last week's loss to the Giants, Cam still retained a starting role while Inman was sidelined. With Steven on a limited snap count in Week 9, Cam essentially served as Washington's No. 2 wideout behind Terry McLaurin, finishing with three receptions for 110 yards on four targets. That sort of yards-per-target production likely won't be sustainable, however, especially if new starting quarterback Alex Smith opts to make the…read more

Works as No. 2 WR
Sims caught three of four targets for 110 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Giants.
Analysis: Sims worked as the No. 2 WR with 74 percent snap share, while Steven Sims and Isaiah Wright got only 30 percent apiece. Granted, this was with Dontrelle Inman (hamstring) inactive and (Steven) Sims in his first game back from a prolonged absence, so it isn't necessarily clear Cam Sims will maintain the same role for Week 10 at Detroit. It is worth noting that Cam has been highly efficient with his limited chances this year, catching seven of eight targets for 171 yards and a touchdown.

Not productive despite high usage
Sims caught his lone target for 22 yards in Sunday's 25-3 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: Antonio Gandy-Golden (hamstring) went to IR after a Week 6 loss to the Giants and Isaiah Wright (shoulder) was ruled out for Sunday's game, so Sims started and played 88 percent of the offensive snaps. It didn't turn into much production, but he out-snapped both Dontrelle Inman by 38 snaps and Terry McLaurin by three snaps. That level of usage is bound to regress eventually, and with a Week 8 bye on tap, it's possible this was just a one-week surge.

Sims caught his lone target for a 22-yard touchdown in Sunday's 20-19 loss to the Giants.
Analysis: Sims came in for Isaiah Wright, who suffered what appeared to be a shoulder injury on the final drive. Antonio Gandy-Golden had injured his hamstring earlier in the game, so Sims, Terry McLaurin and Dontrelle Inman were Washington's only healthy wide receivers by the end.

Receives promotion
Washington promoted Sims to the active roster Tuesday.
Analysis: Sims has played both games thus far but has reverted to the practice squad following each outing. Despite playing mainly in a special-teams role, the 24-year-old receiver earned a full-time role on the active roster, but his offensive impact likely will still be minimal.

Reverts to practice squad
Sims reverted back to Washington's practice squad Monday, according to the league's official transaction report.
Analysis: Sims was called up to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game, but he only ended up playing in four offensive snaps for Washington. He now returns to the practice squad, but he could be activated again Week 3 as Washington continues to deal with an injury-hampered receiving corps.

Returns to active roster
Sims was promoted to Washington's active roster Saturday, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Sims played in Week 1 but played all 16 of his snaps on special teams. With the Football Team's receiver corps healthy, he'll likely serve in a similar role Sunday versus the Cardinals.

Descends to practice squad

Placed on active roster
Sims was elevated to Washington's active roster Saturday.
Analysis: Sims landed back on Washington's practice squad after being cut late in training camp. Reports indicated he was impressive throughout practices this summer, and he may have a chance to serve a depth role among the team's receiving corps in Week 1 against Philadelphia.

Heads to practice squad
Washington signed Sims to the practice squad Sunday, Kyle Stackpole of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Sims put together an impressive training camp, though his efforts weren't enough to earn a spot on the initial regular-season roster. The Alabama product has appeared in eight combined games for Washington over the last two seasons.

Waived by Washington
Sims was waived by Washington on Saturday, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The move, along with the waiving of Trey Quinn, essentially confirms Dontrelle Inman and Antonio Gandy-Golden will be the No. 3 and 4 WRs to start the season, although it's possible the rash of early transactions by Washington could be in an effort to open up roster spots for additional signings down the road. In either case, expect the majority of the team's passing attack to funnel through Terry McLaurin and Steven Sims.

Pushing for role
Coach Ron Rivera mentioned Sims as one of Washington's more impressive wide receivers during training camp, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Terry McLaurin, Steven Sims and Dontrelle Inman have been getting most of the first-team work, but Inman in particular appears vulnerable to a challenge. Sims and rookie Antonio Gandy-Golden are the top candidates to apply pressure for outside receiver snaps, though Sims was limited to two receptions in seven games last year.

Catches two passes in December
Sims played seven games in 2019, catching two of three targets for 27 yards.
Analysis: Sims saw each of his three targets over the final two weeks of the year, even playing 63 percent of snaps on offense in the season finale when Terry McLaurin (concussion) was unavailable. Sims will need to battle for a roster spot in 2020 under a new coaching staff, entering his third NFL season with minimal game experience. If he does stick around, it likely will be as the fourth or fifth choice at wide receiver.

Sitting out Week 12
Sims (coach's decision) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions.
Analysis: Sims was recently brought up from the practice squad due to Paul Richardson's hamstring injury last week, but he has yet to see a snap. In Sims' stead, Kelvin Harmon and Steven Sims are expected to handle depth receiving duties Sunday.

Joining Washington
Sims signed a contract with the Redskins on Saturday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Sims was brought up from the practice squad after Paul Richardson (hamstring) was ruled out ahead of Sunday's contest. Sims is expected to provide some depth at the wide receiver position behind the likes of Terry McLaurin, Trey Quinn, Kelvin Harmon and Steven Sims.
