Not productive despite high usage Sims caught his lone target for 22 yards in Sunday's 25-3 win over the Cowboys.
Impact 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.

Scores first NFL touchdown Sims caught his lone target for a 22-yard touchdown in Sunday's 20-19 loss to the Giants.
Impact 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. Sims promptly scored a touchdown, but his team came up short on the two-point attempt and wasn't able to recover the ensuing onsides kick. Sims will have a top-three role at WR if Inman and Gandy-Golden can't make it back for Week 7 against Dallas. The 2018 UDFA has bounced between the bottom of Washington's roster and the practice squad for three years now, with Sunday's touchdown being the first of his career.

Receives promotion Washington promoted Sims to the active roster Tuesday.
Impact 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.
Impact 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 could be activated again in Week 3 as Washington continues to deal with ailments to their receiving corps.

Descends to practice squad Sims reverted to Washington's practice squad.
Impact Sims suited up in the season-opening win over the Eagles, but he only played on special teams. The 24-year-old receiver has played nine NFL games over three seasons, recording two receptions for 27 yards.

Placed on active roster Sims was elevated to Washington's active roster Saturday.
Impact 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.
Impact 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.
Impact 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.
Impact 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.

Joining Washington Inman is signing with the Washington Football Team, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact It's the best possible outcome for a free-agent wideout in terms of the opportunity to earn playing time. Washington should have open competition behind top dog Terry McLaurin, with Steven Sims and Trey Quinn battling for slot snaps while Inman jockeys with the likes of Antonio Gandy-Golden and Cam Sims for outside work. There has been some mention of Sims potentially lining up outside, but this still profiles as a favorable situation for the 31-year-old Inman, who caught 12 passes for 181 yards in seven appearances for the Colts and Chargers last year. He had his best season back in 2016, when he put up a 58-810-4 receiving line for an injury-plagued Chargers squad.
