Edmonds rushed seven times for 12 yards and brought in one of two targets for eight yards in the Buccaneers' 32-9 wild-card win over the Eagles on Monday night.

Edmonds filled his usual backup role behind Rachaad White. Dating back to Week 14, Edmonds has recorded at least four rush attempts in four of six contests, but his pass-catching work remains extremely modest with the exception of a five-reception tally against the Saints in Week 17. As long as White is healthy in front of him, Edmonds figures to see single-digit touches again in Sunday's divisional-round road matchup versus the Lions.

The Packers listed Dillon (thumb/neck) as a non-participant on Tuesday's practice estimate, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Green Bay did not hold an official practice, but Dillon would not have been able to participate had they done so. That means the fourth-year running back has yet to practice since suffering a neck stinger in Week 17. Since he has been sidelined, Patrick Taylor and Emanuel Wilson have served as options behind Aaron Jones (knee) in the backfield.

Jones was listed as a limited partiipant on Tuesday's practice estimate due to both a knee and finger injury, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

The Packers did not have an official practice Tuesday, so this is just an estimation of what Jones' status would have been. The veteran running back has been a consistent presence on the injury report since returning to the lineup in mid-December, but he had a monster day in Green Bay's wild-card victory over the Cowboys with 118 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 21 carries. AJ Dillon (neck) has missed three straight games and was listed as a non-participant, so Patrick Taylor and Emanuel Wilson are currently the only two healthy options behind Jones on the depth chart.

Wilson secured one of two targets for six yards during the Dolphins' 26-7 wild-card loss to Kansas City on Saturday.

Wilson had a quiet end to an underwhelming 2023 campaign in which he racked up 188 rushing yards on 41 carries (4.6 average) across 10 regular-season appearances, plus 14 catches for 85 yards on 17 targets. Despite missing the first six games of the season to rib and finger injuries and seeing a substantial downtick in total production, Wilson's end-of-year efficiency metrics still stand out, and his versatility makes him a valuable depth piece for Miami behind Raheem Mostert and De'Von Achane. Wilson's set to make $3 million in 2024 on the final season of his current contract, but the Dolphins could cut him loose this offseason while only incurring a $782,500 dead-cap hit, meaning that in order to stay with the team he will likely have to negotiate a restructure.

McCaffrey (calf) will be a full practice participant Tuesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

McCaffrey missed the 49ers' Week 18 loss to the Rams after suffering a calf injury during a Week 17 game in which San Francisco clinched the NFC's No. 1 seed. He's apparently healthy after a bye for the first round of the playoffs, and the NFL's 2023 leader in scrimmage yards should be ready for his usual every-down role this Saturday against Green Bay in the divisional round.

Bigsby rushed three times for 16 yards and returned four kickoffs for 99 yards during Jacksonville's Week 18 loss to Tennessee. He finished the season with 50 rushes for 132 yards and two touchdowns plus one catch for six yards.

The rookie third-round pick opened and finished the season as the Jags' primary backup tailback, but he worked in the No. 3 role from Week 12 to Week 16. Starter Travis Etienne played in all 17 games and was the clear workhorse in the backfield, leaving minimal opportunities for Jacksonville's other backs. The only other running back on the roster, D'Ernest Johnson, is set to become a free agent, so Bigsby has a strong chance of opening 2024 in the No. 2 role once again.

Bolden finished the 2023 season with four total carries for 31 yards and a touchdown in 17 games.

Bolden was limited to a special teams role in his second campaign with the Raiders, logging just five offensive snaps throughout the entire season while Josh Jacobs, Zamir White and Ameer Abdullah handled the bulk of the work out of the backfield. Bolden turns 34 years old in late January and is slated to hit free agency, so a retirement conversation may not be completely out of the question in 2024.

Abdullah ended his 2023 campaign with 15 total carries for 89 yards to go along with 19 receptions for 131 yards on 24 targets in 17 games.

Abdullah recorded more than four touches in a single contest just once throughout his second season with the Raiders, while 2022 fourth-round pick Zamir White took control of the backfield when workhorse Josh Jacobs missed Weeks 15-18 with a quadriceps injury. Abdullah will turn 31 years old in June, and the veteran's future in Las Vegas is uncertain as he's set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Swift (illness) had 10 carries for 34 yards and caught all four of his targets for 32 yards in Monday's 32-9 loss to Tampa Bay.

Swift returned to action after missing the Eagles' regular-season finale with an illness. Philly's lead back didn't have his usual burst on his rushing attempts (3.4 YPC), as he might have still been feeling the effects from the illness he just overcame. Whatever the case may have been, it was a down game from nearly every offensive player not named DeVonta Smith (8-148-0 receiving line). Swift's regular season had a much brighter tone, as the former Detroit Lion unlocked his first 1,000-yard season following his trade to the Eagles this past offseason. With Philadelphia's season officially concluding with the loss to Tampa Bay, Swift will enter free agency on the heels of his best statistical season to date.

White rushed 18 times for 72 yards and secured one of three targets for three yards in the Buccaneers' 32-9 wild-card win over the Eagles on Monday night.

White handled his usual robust workload on the ground in the playoff win, helping set a positive early tone for Tampa Bay with runs of eight, four and seven yards on the Buccaneers' opening drive. White's longest run was just 12 yards, so he generally was able to advance the ball for modest but meaningful distances consistently. White was less involved than usual in the passing game, but in Sunday's upcoming divisional-round clash against a Lions defense that's been outstanding against the run, he could find himself with a bigger receiving role.
