  • 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.

  • Cam Akers RB | SEA

    Seahawks' Cam Akers: Back to practice squad

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

    Akers and Velus Jones were elevated from the practice squad to the active roster for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Rams, though only the former was active. Akers served as Seattle's RB3 behind Kenneth Walker and George Holani, with Akers logging three snaps (one on offense, two on special teams) while not showing up on the box score otherwise in Sunday's 31-27 win. Akers could be elevated to the Seahawks' active roster for Super Bowl LX against the Patriots on Sunday, Feb. 8.

  • D'Ernest Johnson: Back to Pats' practice squad

    Johnson reverted to the Patriots' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Johnson returned two kickoffs for 59 yards during the Patriots' 10-7 win over the Broncos during Sunday's AFC Championship Game, which ended up being his only snaps of the game. The Patriots will end the 2025 season against the Seahawks on Sunday, Feb. 8 for Super Bowl LX, and while Johnson has been elevated from the practice squad for each of New England's three playoff games, he may not get that chance for the Super Bowl if Terrell Jennings (concussion) is activated from injured reserve.

  • Deuce Vaughn RB | DEN

    Broncos' Deuce Vaughn: Sticking around in Denver

    The Broncos signed Vaughn to a reserve/future contract Monday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

    Vaughn caught on with the Broncos on their practice squad in early September after failing to make the Cowboys' 53-man roster at the end of training camp in late August. The 2023 sixth-rounder didn't end up playing a single game in 2025 after appearing in 14 regular-season games across the two prior years with Dallas. Vaughn will be on the Broncos' 90-man roster when the offseason officially kicks off Feb. 9, which will give the Kansas State product the opportunity to participate in OTAs and minicamp with Denver.

  • Cody Schrader RB | DEN

    Broncos' Cody Schrader: Inks future deal with Denver

    The Broncos signed Schrader to a reserve/future contract Monday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

    A future deal means Schrader will be on Denver's 90-man roster at the start of the offseason, which will allow him to participate in OTAs and minicamp. He was cut by the Rams at the end of traiing camp in late August and had stints with the Jaguars and Texans before catching on with the Broncos in December.

  • Blake Corum RB | LAR

    Rams' Blake Corum: Leading rusher on nine attempts

    Corum took nine carries for 55 yards while catching all three of his targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 31-27 playoff loss to Seattle.

    Corum finished Sunday's NFC Championship Game as his club's leading rusher after lead back Kyren Williams (10-39-0) struggled to gain traction on the ground. The 24-year-old Corum stood out at times this year while spelling the starter, finishing his sophomore campaign 746 rushing yards and six touchdowns while appearing in all 17 regular-season games for the Rams. Head coach Sean McVay figures to continue leaning on both of his talented young backs in 2026, with Williams beginning the year as the starter and preferred fantasy option.

  • Kyren Williams RB | LAR

    Rams' Kyren Williams: Catches TD in playoff loss

    Williams handled 10 carries for 39 yards while catching both of his targets for 22 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game.

    Williams paced the Rams with 10 carries in the NFC Championship Game, but it was backup Blake Corum (9-55-0) who led the team in rushing yards Sunday. The 24-year-old Williams finished with the higher fantasy score after cashing in one of QB Matthew Stafford's three touchdown passes in defeat. Williams churned out another strong fantasy campaign as the Rams' starter in 2025 after amassing 1,533 total yards and 13 combined touchdowns in 17 regular-season appearances. The Notre Dame product remains under contract with the Rams through 2028, and the fact that he out-touched Corum in all three of Los Angeles' playoff contests bodes well for Williams retaining the lead-back role in 2026.
