Poyer (hamstring) will not play in Saturday's divisional-round matchup against the Broncos, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.

Poyer suffered a hamstring injury during the Bills' wild-card matchup against the Jaguars and will miss the second round of the playoffs. The 34-year-old is considered week to week and could be available to return in the AFC Championship Game should Buffalo beat the No.1-seeded Broncos. With the 10-year veteran unavailable, Jordan Hancock will likely get the start in his stead. Poyer recorded 70 tackles (31 solo), including 0.5 sacks, and three pass breakups, including one interception, across 10 games during the regular season.

Oliver (biceps/knee) is expected to resume practicing with the Bills this week, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Once the Bills officially designate Oliver for return from injured reserve, the Bills will have 21 days to evaluate him for a return to the 53-man roster. Provided that Oliver can practice in at least a limited capacity this week, he may have a chance at being activated ahead of Saturday's divisional-round game against the Broncos. The defensive tackle was initially placed on IR on Oct. 28 due to a torn biceps, and Oliver is also recovering from meniscus surgery on his knee. He finished the regular season with 12 tackles, 3.0 sacks and one forced fumble over three appearances.

Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Samuel's (elbow) 21-day practice window is expected to be opened this week, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Samuel has been on injured reserve since Nov. 28, but he will be eligible to rejoin his teammates at practice as the Bills prepare to travel to Denver for an AFC divisional-round game Saturday. Gabe Davis (knee) tore his ACL in the wild-card win over the Jaguars, and Tyrell Shavers suffered a knee injury that is still being evaluated, so if Samuel proves healthy enough to return this weekend, Samuel could have a meaningful role in a receiving corps that also includes Khalil Shakir, Brandin Cooks and Keon Coleman.

Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Shavers (knee) is being evaluated in the wake of Sunday's 27-24 wild-card win over the Jaguars, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.

Shavers briefly left the field Sunday to have a knee injury checked out by trainers, but he managed to retake the field, finishing the game with one catch for 14 yards (two targets). Meanwhile, McDermott has confirmed that Gabe Davis (knee) suffered a season-ending ACL tear Sunday. If Shavers is able to get fully healthy in time to face Denver in the AFC divisional round Saturday, he will stand to handle an increased role on offense due to Davis' absence.

Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Kincaid (lower leg) wearing a walking boot after Sunday's 27-24 win over the Jaguars in the wild-card round was "precautionary," Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

McDermott said Kincaid "should be fine" for Saturday's upcoming divisional-round road matchup against the Broncos, per Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News, but the third-year tight end's activity level at practice will be worth monitoring. Kincaid secured three of five targets for 28 yards and one touchdown versus Jacksonville, which was the sixth time across the 2025 campaign that he and quarterback Josh Allen have connected for a receiving score. The 28 offensive snaps Kincaid handled versus the Jaguars marks his largest workload since Week 5 of the regular season.

Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Davis suffered a season-ending ACL tear during Sunday's 27-24 wild-card win over the Jaguars, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

Davis' injury not only is season-ending, the timing and severity put the 26-year-old wideout's status for the beginning of the 2026 campaign in jeopardy. He secured two of three targets for 14 yards versus Jacksonville before being carted off the field in the second half. Davis is slated to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and he may well have to complete a full recovery from his left ACL tear before getting another opportunity to sign with a team around the league.

Brown recorded five total tackles (four solo) during Saturday's 34-31 wild-card loss to the Rams.

After missing 16 games last season due to a knee injury, Brown returned as one of the NFL's top interior defensive linemen in 2025. He played all 17 regular-season games and recorded 73 total tackles, the second most among interior defensive linemen, while facing double teams on 64.4 percent of his snaps. Additionally, the Auburn product tallied seven passes defensed, 5.0 sacks and one forced fumble while logging 808 defensive snaps during the regular season. Under contract through the 2028 season, Brown is expected to remain one of the NFL's top defenders in 2026.

Krieg signed a reserve/future contract with the Jets on Monday.

Nick Folk is set to become a free agent in the offseason, so Krieg's the only kicker in the organization heading into 2026, though more roster moves are expected to follow in the offseason, including the possibility of the Jets re-signing Folk. The 23-year-old Krieg is a Berlin native who has yet to appear in a regular-season NFL game.

Zappe signed a reserve/future contract with the Jets on Monday.

The state of the Jets' quarterback room is in flux heading into the 2026 campaign, so Zappe looks poised to have a realistic chance at a roster spot. Zappe has 15 NFL appearances (nine starts) under his belt, with all of those having come for the Jets' AFC East rival Patriots, but he didn't appear in a regular-season game in 2025.

Jackson tallied 68 total tackles (54 solo), 19 passes defensed, including four interceptions, and one forced fumble across 17 regular-season games in 2025.

Jackson was incredible during the Panthers' wild-card loss to the Rams on Saturday, recording four passes defensed, including an interception that helped set up a Carolina touchdown in the third quarter. The Miami product has been one of the NFL's top corners since joining the Panthers in 2024, recording 144 total tackles and 36 passes defensed (most in the NFL), including six interceptions, over 34 regular-season games. Having signed a two-year, $10.5 million extension with Carolina last offseason, Jackson is expected to start opposite Jaycee Horn to form one of the league's premier outside cornerback duos during the 2026 season.
