Nix suffered a broken bone in his ankle in Saturday's 33-30 overtime win against Buffalo and will not return during the postseason, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

Nix led the Broncos to a thrilling overtime win over the Bills, completing 26 of his 46 passes for 279 yards to go along with three touchdowns. He suffered the injury on the second-to-last play of the game and is set for surgery Tuesday. Jarrett Stidham will now be tasked with trying to lead the Broncos to the Super Bowl.

Nix completed 26 of 46 passes for 279 yards with three touchdowns and one interception while adding 12 rushes for 29 yards in the Broncos' 33-30 divisional-round overtime win over the Bills on Saturday. He also fumbled once but recovered.

Nix garnered his first career playoff win in spectacular fashion, leading the Broncos through a rollercoaster afternoon against Josh Allen and a talented Bills squad. After helping stake Denver to a 20-10 halftime lead with the help of seven- and 29-yard touchdown tosses to Frank Crum and Lil'Jordan Humphrey. Then, Nix answered after Allen and Buffalo turned a 23-10 second-half deficit to a 27-23 advantage, leading an eight-play, 73-yard march that he capped off with a beautifully thrown 26-yard scoring strike to Marvin Mims, one play after converting a third-and-4 with a six-yard scramble. Nix would subsequently spearhead a six-play game-winning drive in overtime that featured a 24-yard pass to RJ Harvey and a pair of critical pass-interference penalties versus the Bills on deep incompletions. Nix and the Broncos will now prepare to face off at home with the winner of Sunday's Texans-Patriots clash in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday, Jan. 25.

Allen completed 25 of 39 passes for 283 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions while rushing 12 times for 66 yards in the Bills' 33-30 overtime divisional-round loss to the Broncos on Saturday. He also committed three fumbles, losing two and recovering the other.

While Allen put together a fantasy-friendly stat line from a yardage and touchdown perspective, his four turnovers naturally had a significant hand in the narrow and heartbreaking defeat. Allen connected with Mecole Hardman (four yards), Keon Coleman (10 yards) and Dalton Kincaid (14 yards) for his trio of scoring tosses, the latter two coming during an impressive second-half surge by Buffalo that saw the Bills erase a 23-10 deficit and take a 27-23 lead with just over four minutes remaining. Following a late Broncos touchdown, Allen then led an eight-play march that culminated in a game-tying field goal that pushed the game into overtime. However, Allen's second interception, which came when Ja'Quan McMillian took the ball from Brandin Cooks as both went to the ground after the latter appeared to have hauled in a beautifully thrown deep post, begat Denver's game-winning drive, while his two earlier lost fumbles each led to Broncos field goals as well. Following another January heartbreak for his team, Allen will focus on regrouping for another run in 2026 after having completed 69.3 percent of his passes for 3,668 yards with a 25:10 TD:INT, rushing 112 times for 579 yards and 14 touchdowns and committing seven fumbles, losing three, across 17 regular-season games in 2025.

Darnold (oblique) took all of the reps with the starting offense during warmups for the Seahawks prior to Saturday's divisional-round game against the 49ers, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Darnold appeared on the injury report Thursday, and his throws during warmups were his first since originally suffering the injury. Multiple social media posts from Seattle's official accounts also suggest that Darnold will be ready to start Saturday's playoff matchup. If there was a last-minute change to Darnold's status, Drew Lock would be set to take over under center.

Lock is poised to remain the backup QB behind Sam Darnold (oblique) after the latter was deemed active for Saturday's divisional-round game against the 49ers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Darnold's status for Seattle's postseason opener came into question after he made an early exit from Thursday's practice due to an oblique injury. Both Darnold and coach Mike Macdonald remained confident that the quarterback would be able to suit up, but in the meantime Lock was getting the first-team reps, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Now that Darnold is active and Jalen Milroe is inactive as the emergency third quarterback, Lock will settle back into his normal role.

Milroe (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the emergency third quarterback for Saturday's divisional-round matchup versus San Francisco.

Milroe will once again serve as the team's emergency quarterback and will be allowed to enter the game only if both Sam Darnold and Drew Lock exit due to injury, illness or ejection. However, it isn't out of the question that Milroe sees playing time, as Darnold is currently dealing with an oblique injury.

Darnold (oblique) is listed as active Saturday against the 49ers.

Darnold injured his oblique at Thursday's practice, which caused the Seahawks to list him as questionable ahead of their divisional-round matchup. He proceeded to tell John Boyle of the team's official site that he felt like he'll "be ready to go for Saturday," and coach Mike Macdonald then relayed to Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic on Friday that he wouldn't "put him out there if he couldn't do his job." Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Saturday morning that Darnold hasn't thrown since Thursday, but Seattle still was of the belief that he'd be able to start, which now at least seems likely. Drew Lock and emergency third QB Jalen Milroe are on hand in the event Darnold can't direct the offense at any point.

Ehlinger (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Broncos' emergency third quarterback during Saturday's divisional-round matchup against the Bills, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

Ehlinger will once again serve as the team's emergency quarterback after being signed to the active roster from the practice squad earlier this month. The 27-year-old will be able to enter the game only if both Bo Nix and Jarrett Stidham are forced to exit due to injury, illness or ejection.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that Rodgers is unlikely to return to the Steelers for 2026 after Mike Tomlin stepped down as head coach Monday.

Rodgers signed a one-year contract with the Steelers in part due to a desire of wanting to play for Tomlin. Even if Tomlin had been willing to return for 2026, Rodgers has been contemplating his retirement from the NFL, and Monday's wild-card loss to the Texans may have been the veteran quarterback's last game in the league, per Brooke Pryor and Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. Rodgers finished the 2025 regular season having completed 65.7 percent of his passes for 3,322 yards, 24 touchdowns and seven interceptions while rushing for 61 yards and a score on 21 carries across 16 games.

The Seahawks expect that Sam Darnold (oblique) will start in Saturday's NFC divisional-round tilt against the 49ers, but Lock has been taking reps with the first-team offense the last two days and would be ready to play if the former were to be sidelined, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Darnold has not thrown a football since undergoing treatment for an oblique injury during Thursday's practice. Head coach Mike Macdonald expressed optimism Friday that Darnold would be available for Saturday's game, per Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. That said, Lock -- who has not started in a game since Week 18 of the 2024 season as a member of the Giants -- would take the helm if Darnold were to be ruled out or injured during the contest.
