Dobbins (ankle) is listed as active for Saturday's wild-card game at Houston.

Dobbins was a limited practice participant all week due to an ankle injury, which seemingly was the result of getting tackled awkwardly near the end of the first quarter last Sunday In Las Vegas, per Daniel Popper of The Athletic. The running back was able to finish out the contest en route to 21 touches for 75 yards from scrimmage on a 65 percent snap share, as position mate Gus Edwards (ankle) was sidelined. Edwards himself followed an LP/LP/FP practice regimen this week before heading into the weekend without a designation. With Dobbins confirmed to be available as well, the pair likely will have close to an even split of the backfield reps in the Chargers' playoff opener.

Dobbins (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Saturday's contest against the Texans, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

It would have been a real surprise if Dobbins would have been unavailable for Los Angeles' playoff game, but it appears that reality won't come to fruition. Official confirmation of the running back's status, either way, is set to arrive once inactives are posted ahead of Saturday's 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff.

Laube returned a kickoff for 19 yards, but he logged just one offensive snap in the Raiders' Week 18 loss to the Chargers.

Laube concluded his 2024 campaign with just one carry for no gain and a lost fumble across 10 games, also returning six kickoffs for 164 yards. The sixth rounder's rookie season was especially disappointing when considering the litany of injuries suffered by his backfield mates, as each of Alexander Mattison, Zamir White (quadriceps), Ameer Abdullah (foot) and Sincere McCormick (ankle) missed time. Laube has three years remaining on his contract in Las Vegas, but neither playing time nor a roster spot are guaranteed in 2025 with the Raiders slated to hire a new head coach and general manager.

Collier rushed twice for six yards in the Raiders' season finale, a 34-20 loss to the Chargers. He also caught one of two targets for a loss of four yards.

Collier, who was waived by the Ravens in early November before landing in Las Vegas, finished his 2024 campaign with five carries for 12 yards across three games with the Silver & Black. The undrafted 24-year-old out of Lock Haven will face an uphill battle for a roster spot again in 2025, though Collier has proven capable of earning a special teams role.

Badie (back), who remains on IR, is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's road AFC wild-card round game against the Bills, Susanna Weir of the Broncos' official site reports.

Badie logged a trio of full practices this week, but he'll need to be officially brought off IR by Saturday's deadline in order to be eligible to play Sunday. If cleared to face Buffalo, Badie will figure to handle a depth role in Denver's backfield, which already houses Jaleel McLaughlin, Audric Estime, Javonte Williams and Blake Watson.

The Chargers elevated Patterson to their active roster Friday.

The Buffalo product has spent most of his 2024 campaign with the Chargers' practice squad after failing to make the active roster in late August. Patterson has appeared in one game for the Chargers this season, recording no stats while playing just one special-teams snap. His elevation ensures depth at running back for Saturday's wild-card matchup against the Texans, with J.K. Dobbins (ankle) listed as questionable.

Chandler missed Friday's practice because of an illness.

Chandler will have three days to recover before Monday's game against the Rams in Glendale, Arizona. There won't be much impact on the gameplan if his illness lingers, as Chandler has been third on the depth chart behind Aaron Jones (quadriceps) and Cam Akers for a while now.

Shipley (ankle) was a full participant in Friday's practice. He does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's NFC wild-card round matchup against the Packers.

Shipley began the week of practice as a limited participant, but he's managed to gain a clean bill of health in advance of Sunday's home wild-card game. The rookie fourth-round pick is set to handle his usual No. 3 role out of the backfield for Philadelphia behind Saquon Barkley and Kenneth Gainwell.

Jones (quadriceps) was a limited practice participant Friday.

Jones played through the same injury during last week's loss to the Lions, taking 15 touches for 75 yards while playing 62 percent of snaps on offense. He'll likely play again Monday against the Rams in Glendale Arizona, having managed limited practice participation Thursday and Friday.

Pacheco (ribs) participated in practice Friday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

The Chiefs earned a first-round playoff bye, so the team won't play again until Jan. 18 or 19, but Pacheco's presence for Friday's session bodes well for his chances of returning to action in the divisional round. Added context on that front will arrive next week, once the team posts its next official practice/injury report.
