  • 49ers' Christian McCaffrey: Named Comeback Player of Year

    McCaffrey was named the 2025 Comeback Player of the Year on Thursday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    McCaffrey was limited to only four games in 2024 due to Achilles and knee injuries, but he managed to suit up for all 17 regular-season contests in 2025. He also handled an impressive 413 total touches while racking up 2,126 yards from scrimmage. McCaffrey's rushing efficiency took a concerning dip, but his involvement as a pass catcher should help him retain elite fantasy value in 2026.

  • Jordan Waters RB | LAR

    Rams' Jordan Waters: Inks future deal

    Waters signed a reserve/future contract with the Rams on Thursday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Waters spent training camp with the Rams but failed to make the roster. He was also selected by the St.Louis Battlehawks of the UFL in January, but he was removed from the roster Thursday to give him another chance in the NFL.

  • De'Von Achane RB | MIA

    Dolphins' De'Von Achane: Participates in Pro Bowl Games

    Achane (shoulder) gathered in all four targets during Tuesday's Pro Bowl flag football game.

    Achane didn't play Week 18 at New England due to a shoulder injury, but before his only absence of the 2025 regular season, he netted a career-high 1,838 yards from scrimmage (sixth in the NFL) and 12 total TDs (12th) on 305 touches (ninth) in 16 contests. With top WR Tyreek Hill sidelined following his gruesome knee injury from Week 4, Achane served as the centerpiece of the Dolphins offense. Miami has moved on from Mike McDaniel to Jeff Hafley as the team's head coach, but the latter likely will continue to lean on Achane as the running back enters the final year of his rookie contract in 2026.

  • Bears' Roschon Johnson: Plays four snaps on offense in 2025

    Johnson rushed two times for seven yards across seven regular-season appearances during the 2025 season.

    Johnson dealt with a foot injury during training camp and the preseason and almost immediately fell behind rookie Kyle Monangai as the backup to D'Andre Swift. Monangai never gave the gig back, and Johnson played a total of four offensive snaps during the regular season before being sent to injured reserve with a thumb injury in November. Johnson is signed through the 2026 season, but he's likely going to be in a fight for a roster spot next summer after failing to earn any playing time under Ben Johnson's coaching staff in 2025.

  • Patriots' Terrell Jennings: Practice window closes

    Jennings' (hamstring) 21-day practice window closed Wednesday, and he will not play in Sunday's Super Bowl against the Seahawks, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    With Jennings ineligible to play against Seattle, it signals that D'Ernest Johnson will likely be elevated from the practice squad to serve as the Patriots' RB3 behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson. Jennings appeared in seven regular-season games this season, rushing 23 times for 73 yards and one touchdown.

  • Patriots' Terrell Jennings: Questionable with hamstring issue

    Jennings (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Super Bowl LX on Sunday, Feb. 8.

    Jennings developed a hamstring issue Thursday and was downgraded to a non-participant in Friday's practice due to the issue. The running back and kick returner has remained on injured reserve since Dec. 13 due to a hamstring issue, and he likely will not be activated for the Super Bowl even with the extra week of recuperation. D'Ernest Johnson was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster for last Sunday's AFC Championship Game and will likely be elevated once again to fill Jennings' role as the No. 3 running back for Super Bowl LX.

  • Patriots' Terrell Jennings: Now dealing with hamstring injury

    Jennings (hamstring) was limited in Thursday's practice.

    Jennings cleared the league's concussion protocol last week, but he now is dealing with a hamstring issue that limited him during Thursday's session. The Patriots don't play until Sunday, Feb. 8 against the Seahawks in Super Bowl LX, so that gives Jennings additional time to recover from his injury.

  • Patriots' Terrell Jennings: Still on IR for now

    Jennings (concussion) was estimated as a full practice participant on the Patriots' injury report Wednesday.

    Jennings has been clear of concussion protocol for a week now, but he was kept on injured reserve for the AFC Championship Game at Denver to save a roster spot. With Rhamondre Stevenson and rookie second-rounder TreVeyon Henderson both still healthy, there's no guarantee New England will activate Jennings for the Super Bowl.

  • George Holani RB | SEA

    Seahawks' George Holani: Six touches in return

    Holani rushed three times for four yards and caught three of four targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 31-27 win over the Rams in the NFC Championship Game.

    Holani's return from a hamstring injury he suffered Week 12 came just in time, as Zach Charbonnet suffered a torn ACL in the team's divisional-round win over the 49ers. Thus, Holani served as the No. 2 running back behind Kenneth Walker and handled a 34 percent snap share. The second-year running back out of Boise State previously handled kick-return duties, too, but the Seahawks traded for Rashid Shaheed, who has that job locked down heading into the Super Bowl versus the Patriots.

  • Seahawks' Velus Jones: Reverts to Seattle's practice squad

    Jones reverted to the Seahawks' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Jones and Cam Akers were both elevated to the Seahawks' active roster Saturday, though the former ended up being a healthy scratch for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Rams. Super Bowl LX against the Patriots on Sunday, Feb. 8 will be Jones' last opportunity to be elevated to Seattle's active roster this season.
