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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Walker rushed 19 times for 62 yards and a touchdown while bringing in all four of his targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 31-27 win over the Rams in the NFC Championship Game.

Walker took over as the Seahawks' clear No. 1 option out of the backfield after teammate Zach Charbonnet suffered a serious knee injury in last week's playoff win over San Francisco. The 24-year-old Walker failed to reproduce his three-score outing from the divisional round, but he still cracked the century mark in total yards while scoring his fourth rushing touchdown of the postseason. With no Charbonnet to cut into his touch share, Walker is primed to handle another heavy workload when the Seahawks face the Patriots on Feb. 8 in Super Bowl LX.

Henderson rushed the ball three times for five yards in Sunday's 10-7 win over the Broncos in the AFC Championship Game.

Rhamondre Stevenson racked up 25 touches, leaving Henderson as an afterthought in Sunday's win. Henderson's longest rush of the day went for four yards, though his usage never allowed him to settle into the game. He had recorded 10 and 13 touches in New England's first two playoff games, so it's unclear why he didn't see much opportunity in the AFC Championship Game.

Stevenson rushed the ball 25 times for 71 yards in Sunday's 10-7 win over the Broncos in the AFC Championship Game. He did not record a catch on two targets.

Stevenson was very inefficient with his carries, as only two of his 25 rush attempts went for more than 10 yards. However, he served a crucial role in New England's win, particularly when the matchup turned into a battle of time of possession and field position when the weather worsened in the second half. Stevenson also significantly out-touched TreVeyon Henderson, the latter of whom got only three total touches. Stevenson is likely to lead the backfield in the Super Bowl, though it wouldn't be a surprise to see Henderson get more involved once again.

McLaughlin rushed four times for 11 yards and brought one of two targets for two yards in the Broncos' 10-7 loss to the Patriots in Sunday's AFC Championship Game.

McLaughlin filled his usual complementary role behind RJ Harvey, who led the ground attack with 13 carries. The third-year pro wasn't able to break into the open field on any of this four totes, and weather conditions that included significant second-half snowfall made offense difficult to come by as a whole. McLaughlin will be a restricted free agent this offseason, and it appears unlikely he'll draw any interest from other teams under that classification.
