  • Jaguars' Parker Washington: Cleared to return to wild-card game

    Washington passed his concussion evaluation and has been cleared to return to Sunday's wild-card game against the Bills, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports.

    Washington headed to the locker room late in the first quarter to get checked for a concussion but looks like he'll be ready to take the field for the Jaguars' second possession of the second quarter.

  • Jaguars' Parker Washington: Gets checked for concussion

    Washington exited Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Bills in the first quarter and headed to the locker room to be evaluated for a concussion, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

    Washington's status for the remainder of the game is uncertain while he gets checked for a head injury. Prior to leaving the contest, Washington carried once for minus-3 yards and didn't haul in either of his two targets.

  • Dyami Brown WR | WAS

    Jaguars' Dyami Brown: Healthy inactive for playoff opener

    Brown (coach's decision) is a healthy inactive for Sunday's wild-card game against the Bills.

    Jacksonville elevated Tim Patrick from the practice squad Saturday and will opt to go with him as their No. 5 receiver ahead of Brown, who is a healthy inactive for the first time since Week 13. After joining the Jaguars on a one-year, $10 million deal in March, Brown was a disappointment during the regular season, finishing with a 20-227-1 receiving line on 37 targets while adding 30 yards on six carries over 14 games.

  • Packers' Christian Watson: Productive following IR return

    Watson finished the 2025 regular season with 35 catches (on 55 targets) for 611 yards and six touchdowns across 10 games.

    Watson played a key role on the Packers' offense during Saturday's 31-27 NFC wild-card loss to the Bears, finishing with three catches (on seven targets) for 39 yards which included a seven-yard touchdown pass from Jordan Love late in the first quarter. Watson missed the first seven games of the regular season while recovering from a torn ACL that he suffered in Week 18 of the 2024 campaign. Despite the missed time, the fourth-year pro finished the regular season second on the Packers in catches, targets and yards behind Romeo Doubs. Even with Green Bay bringing in rookie Matthew Golden, Watson still played a key part in the offense, particularly after Tucker Kraft tore his ACL in Week 9 against the Panthers. Watson -- who the Packers selected in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft -- is under contract with Green Bay through the 2026 campaign.

  • Bears' Luther Burden: Targeted seven times in win

    Burden caught three of seven targets for 42 yards in the Bears' 31-27 wild-card win over the Packers on Saturday.

    After a three-week hot streak in which Burden averaged six receptions, 96 yards and 0.3 touchdowns, the receiver has 42 yards or fewer in his last two games. However, his seven targets tied for the second most Burden has had this season, and his role remains secure heading into next week's divisional-round matchup.

  • Jayden Reed WR | GB

    Packers' Jayden Reed: Tallies 57 total yards, TD in loss

    Reed brought in four of seven targets for 43 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for 14 yards in the Packers' 31-27 wild-card loss to the Bears on Saturday.

    Reed tied Matthew Golden for second in receptions and Christian Watson for the same slotting in targets for the Packers on the night. The versatile Reed added an 18-yard touchdown reception just past the halfway point of the second quarter, and although he did have an ill-timed drop early in Green Bay's final drive, he atoned with a personal game-long 20-yard grab later in the possession. Reed appeared in just seven regular-season games in the 2025 campaign due to an assortment of injuries, the most serious being a broken collarbone. He compiled a 19-207-1 line on 22 targets while rushing three times for 28 yards and recording 21 punt-return yards. Reed will head into the final year of his current contract in 2026 and should be in line for a key role in the air attack once more.

  • Packers' Matthew Golden: Productive postseason debut in loss

    Golden brought in four of five targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' 31-27 wild-card loss to the Bears on Saturday.

    The speedy rookie put together an inconsistent debut campaign, but he was a key part of the Packers' success in his first career postseason game. Golden finished tied for second in catches and as the runner-up in receiving yards as well for Green Bay on the night, and he flashed with a 36-yard reception and a 23-yard touchdown grab that came with under seven minutes remaining in the contest. Golden finished the 2025 regular season with a 29-361-0 line on 44 targets, a 10-49-0 tally on the ground and 28 punt-return yards across 14 games. Considering Romeo Doubs is a candidate to leave via unrestricted free agency this offseason, Golden should be primed for a busy and more productive second season.

  • Rome Odunze WR | CHI

    Bears' Rome Odunze: Two grabs in return from injury

    Odunze brought in two of six targets for 44 yards in the Bears' 31-27 wild-card win over the Packers on Saturday.

    Making his return from a five-game absence due to a foot injury to close out the regular season, Odunze finished second in both receiving yards and targets among Chicago's wideouts on the night. The second-year pro delivered noteworthy gains of 17 and 27 yards on his pair of grabs, making it an encouraging performance following the month-plus layoff. Odunze's conditioning and stamina should take another step forward during the forthcoming practice week ahead of next weekend's divisional-round clash.

  • Romeo Doubs WR | NE

    Packers' Romeo Doubs: Stars in postseason loss

    Doubs brought in eight of 11 targets for 124 yards and a touchdown while also recovering a fumble in the Packers' 31-27 wild-card loss to the Bears on Saturday.

    Doubs easily led the Packers in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the night, and he hauled in one of Jordan Love's four touchdown passes from one yard out on the first play following the two-minute warning in the second quarter. The veteran wideout also had a key 34-yard reception on a fourth-quarter drive that would have likely sealed a win for the Packers had it not ended in a Brandon McManus missed field goal with 2:56 remaining. Doubs put together another solid regular season as well, compiling a 55-724-6 line on 85 targets and recording a career-high 12 receptions of 20-plus yards while adding 94 punt-return yards across 16 games. He's slated to become an unrestricted free agent at the start of the new league year.

  • DJ Moore WR | BUF

    Bears' DJ Moore: Scores key TD in playoff win

    Moore secured six of seven targets for 64 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for minus-5 yards in the Bears' 31-27 wild-card win over the Packers on Saturday.

    Moore paced the Bears' wideouts in receptions and receiving yards while tying Luther Burden for the lead in targets on the night. The veteran also made up for a drop earlier in Chicago's game-winning drive by hauling in a 25-yard scoring strike from Caleb Williams that would prove to be the game-winning touchdown. Moore should continue playing an integral role in next weekend's divisional-round clash.
