  • James Cook RB | BUF

    Bills' James Cook: Accrues 141 total yards in loss

    Cook rushed 24 times for 117 yards and brought in two of three targets for 24 yards in the Bills' 33-30 divisional-round overtime loss to the Broncos on Saturday. He also lost a fumble.

    Cook put together an impressive day on the ground against an elite defense, finishing with his 10th 100-yard rushing performance since the start of the regular season and bouncing back in noteworthy fashion from his 46-yard effort versus the Jaguars in Sunday's wild-card victory. Cook's second-quarter lost fumble had a significant impact, however, as it came at the Broncos' 30-yard line and eventually led to a Denver touchdown. The disappointing team outcome aside, Cook's productive day Saturday was a fitting cap to a career-best regular season, one where he won the NFL rushing yardage title with 1,621 yards while averaging 5.2 yards per carry, scored 12 rushing touchdowns, and generated a 33-291-2 line on 40 targets while committing six fumbles, losing three, across 17 games.

  • Seahawks' Velus Jones: Elevated from practice squad

    The Seahawks elevated Jones from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of their divisional-round matchup versus the 49ers, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

    Jones was elevated three times during the regular season and carried the ball four times for 32 yards while seeing playing time on both offense and special teams. The 28-year-old could serve as the team's No. 3 running back behind Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet during Saturday's game.

  • Patriots' Terrell Jennings: Won't play vs. Texans

    Jennings (concussion) has been ruled out for New England's divisional-round matchup versus the Texans on Sunday, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.

    Jennings managed to return to practice earlier in the week but will nonetheless remain on injured reserve for at least one more game. The 24-year-old has been sidelined since Week 15 and will look to make his return during the AFC Championship Game next week, should the Patriots defeat Houston.

  • Patriots' D'Ernest Johnson: Elevated from practice squad

    The Patriots elevated Johnson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's divisional-round matchup versus the Texans, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.

    Johnson rejoined New England's practice squad earlier in the week after rushing for 25 yards on 13 carries across seven games with the team earlier in the season. The 29-year-old could serve as the team's No. 3 running back, as Terrell Jennings has been ruled out with a concussion.

  • Ty Johnson RB | BUF

    Bills' Ty Johnson: Inactive again

    Johnson (ankle) is listed as inactive Saturday at Denver, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.

    Johnson suffered an ankle injury Week 18 against the Jets that now has sidelined him for both of Buffalo's first two playoff contests. With Johnson out again, Ray Davis and Frank Gore will be the backfield options behind starter James Cook.

  • Frank Gore Jr. RB | BUF

    Bills' Frank Gore: Elevated Friday

    Buffalo elevated Gore from the practice squad Friday.

    With Ty Johnson's (ankle) status in question for Saturday's divisional-round game against the Broncos, Gore will again have a chance to play behind James Cook and Ray Davis. Gore made his non-exhibition NFL debut last Sunday against the Jaguars, catching his lone target for six yards while playing four offensive snaps.

  • Patriots' Terrell Jennings: Questionable for Sunday

    Jennings (concussion) is questionable for Sunday's divisional-round game against Houston.

    Jennings remains on injured reserve after having his practice window opened Wednesday. With Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson healthy, Jennings probably won't have a meaningful offensive role even if he is activated Saturday.

  • Jawhar Jordan RB | HOU

    Texans' Jawhar Jordan: Set to return Sunday

    Jordan (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's divisional-round game in New England.

    Jordan sat out Monday's wild-card win at Pittsburgh due to a high-ankle sprain that he sustained Week 18 against the Colts. After opening this week with limited listings Wednesday and Thursday, he returned to a full practice Friday, which was enough for the Texans to clear him ahead of the weekend. Jordan thus will be in the mix for RB reps along with Nick Chubb behind starter Woody Marks on Sunday.

  • Patriots' Terrell Jennings: No restrictions Thursday

    Jennings (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

    Jennings is progressing in his recovery from a concussion that led to him being placed on injured reserve in mid-December. He was cleared to return to practice Wednesday, and his ability to participate without restriction Thursday is a sign that he is progressing through the league's concussion protocol. He would need to be activated from injured reserve in order to be available for Sunday's AFC divisional-round clash against the Texans.

  • Jawhar Jordan RB | HOU

    Texans' Jawhar Jordan: Another limited practice

    Jordan (ankle) remained limited at practice Thursday.

    Jordan, who also was limited at practice Wednesday, missed this past Monday's wild-card win over the Steelers while dealing with a high-ankle sprain that he sustained Week 18. However, the running back's ability to practice both Wednesday and Thursday, albeit in a limited fashion, offers hope that he could return to action for Sunday's divisional-round contest against the Patriots. Friday's injury report will reveal whether Jordan heads into the weekend with an injury designation or cleared to rejoin a Houston backfield that also includes Nick Chubb and is led by Woody Marks.
