McNichols rushed 44 times for 221 yards and a touchdown while catching 25 of 31 targets for 196 yards across 17 regular-season games in 2025.

With Austin Ekeler (Achilles) sustaining a season-ending injury early into the Commanders' 2025 campaign, McNichols was thrust into the role of the team's primary pass-catching running back. The Boise State product performed well, recording a career-high 417 total yards while averaging 6.0 yards per touch. Set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, McNichols could draw interest from teams seeking a third-down back ahead of the 2026 season.

Hampton (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's wild-card game at New England.

After not practicing Wednesday or Thursday, Hampton got back on the field Friday, per Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site, and the rookie first-round pick eventually went down as a limited participant, according to Daniel Popper of The Athletic. Hampton thus has a chance to play for the first time since Week 17 due to an ankle injury, but his status won't be known until about 90 minutes before Sunday's 8:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Kimani Vidal, Hassan Haskins and Jaret Patterson would be the RBs to benefit this weekend if Hampton is inhibited or sidelined.

Hill (neck) rushed 18 times for 93 yards and two touchdowns while catching 21 of 27 targets for 169 yards and one touchdown across 10 appearances in 2025. He also had seven kickoff returns for 188 yards.

Hill held off Keaton Mitchell and Rasheen Ali for the top change-of-pace role behind Derrick Henry while healthy but didn't play after Week 12 due to a neck injury. Henry, Hill and Ali are all under contract for 2026, and Mitchell is set to be a restricted free agent who could be retained with a qualifying offer. Baltimore will be bringing in a new coaching staff, but Hill's role seems unlikely to change much, assuming he makes a full recovery.

Jets GM Darren Mougey said at Tuesday's end-of-season press conference that the team would like to retain Hall (knee) but wouldn't go into specifics regarding whether the Jets are open to using the franchise tag on the pending unrestricted free agent, Antwan Staley of the New York Daily News reports.

Hall sat out the Jets' regular-season finale due to a knee injury after posting a career-high 1,065 rushing yards across the previous 16 games. The versatile playmaker has accrued 5,040 yards from scrimmage in 56 regular-season games since being selected in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft, but Hall has yet to get a taste of NFL postseason action. Hall's likely to have a robust market in free agency, but the Jets could try to bring him back for his age-25 season on the franchise tag if Hall isn't interested in a long-term extension to stay in New York.

Dobbins (foot) is pushing hard to return at some point during the postseason, though a return prior to the Super Bowl on Sunday, Feb. 8 remains unlikely, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.

The Super Bowl will be just over 12 weeks after Dobbins sustained a Lisfranc foot injury Week 10, which landed him on injured reserve shortly afterward. Dobbins has made tangible steps forward in his recovery and has rejoined his teammates at team facilities, though he isn't yet ready to resume practicing. To reach the Super Bowl and give Dobbins a realistic chance to return this season, the Broncos would need to win two playoff games following their bye in the wild-card round. RJ Harvey, Jaleel McLaughlin and Tyler Badie will continue to hold down the fort in the backfield while the Broncos traverse the AFC side of the playoff bracket.

Hampton (ankle) was present for Friday's practice, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

Per Kris Rhim of ESPN.com, Hampton -- who was listed as a 'DNP' Wednesday and Thursday -- sported a brace on his right ankle during warmups Friday. Still, the running back's attendance for the session is a step in the right direction for him ahead of Sunday night's playoff opener against the Patriots. The Chargers' upcoming injury report will reveal Hampton's official game status, in any case.

Johnson (ankle) will practice Friday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Johnson was deemed a non-participant on practice reports Wednesday and Thursday, so the running back's looming participation Friday offers hope that he could be available for Sunday's playoff opener against the Jaguars. The Bills' final injury report will clarify both Johnson's participation level Friday, as well as his official game status ahead of the upcoming wild-card round.

Badie ended the 2025 regular season with eight carries for 23 yards, adding 19 receptions on 31 targets for 141 yards across 16 games.

Badie was mostly an afterthought in 2025, with teammates J.K. Dobbins (foot) and RJ Harvey stealing the show for the vast majority of the season. The second-year running back was used sparingly out of the backfield, primarily as a pass catcher in hurry-up situations. Not surprisingly, Badie played a complementary role behind Dobbins and Harvey this season. After Dobbins landed on IR, teammate Jaleel McLaughlin leaped Badie on the depth chart as well. The 25-year-old Badie will become an exclusive rights free agent this offseason, so if Denver offers him a tender, he'll be back with the Broncos next season. If Denver decides to not make the offer, the Missouri product will become an unrestricted free agent and could join another squad's running-back rotation as a depth option.

Hampton (ankle) was listed as a non-participant in practice Thursday, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

Per Smith, offensive coordinator Greg Roman previously noted that Hampton would be "involved some" in Thursday's session, but that didn't equate to the running back -- who also didn't practice Wednesday -- being deemed an official participant. Hampton now has one more opportunity to log practice reps before the Chargers assign injury designations in advance of Sunday night's playoff opener against the Patriots. If he ends up limited or out this weekend, added backfield opportunities would be available for Kimani Vidal, Hassan Haskins and Jaret Patterson.

Warren (illness) didn't practice Thursday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

With a 'DNP' to start the practice week, Warren's status now merits monitoring in advance of Monday night's playoff opener against the Texans. The running back has two more chances to practice before the Steelers assign game designations for that contest Saturday.
