  • Patriots' Harold Landry: Ready to go for wild-card round

    Landry (knee) is active for Sunday night's wild-card matchup with the Chargers.

    Landry will make his return to action after missing the team's last two regular-season contests while nursing a knee injury. The 29-year-old registered 11 total tackles (eight solo), including 3.0 sacks, in his final four appearances of the regular season, and he'll look to keep it up versus Los Angeles.

  • Elijah Molden CB | LAC

    Chargers' Elijah Molden: Active for wild-card round

    Molden (hamstring) is active for Sunday night's wild-card matchup against New England.

    Molden will be good to go for the opening round of the postseason, ultimately being given the green light to play after logging a week's worth of limited practices with a hamstring injury. The 26-year-old will operate in his starting role alongside Derwin James at safety versus the Patriots.

  • Patriots' Kayshon Boutte: Active versus Chargers

    Boutte (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday night's playoff opener against the Chargers.

    Boutte was added to the Patriots' wild-card-round injury report Thursday after being limited in practice by a hamstring injury, a level of participation that the wideout maintained Friday before being listed as questionable for Sunday's contest. With Boutte available versus Los Angeles, he'll be in a position to maintain his key role in a New England corps that also includes Stefon Diggs, Kyle Williams, DeMario Douglas and Efton Chism. During the regular season, Boutte caught 33 of his 46 targets for 551 yards and six TDs in 14 contests, but QB Drake Maye's tendency to spread the ball around has made the 2023 sixth-rounder a hit-or-miss fantasy option of late.

  • Chargers' Omarion Hampton: Active versus New England

    Hampton (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's night's playoff opener against the Patriots, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

    After being listed as a non-participant both Wednesday and Thursday, Hampton -- who was sidelined in Week 18 -- was able to return to a limited practice Friday while sporting a brace on his right ankle, per Kris Rhim of ESPN.com. Though officially listed as questionable on Los Angles' final injury report, the running back subsequently noted that he planned to play Sunday. With the 2025 first-rounder's active status versus the Patriots now confirmed, Rhim previously indicated that the Chargers are expected to split their backfield workload between Hampton and Kimani Vidal, with Hassan Haskins and Jaret Patterson available in reserve.

  • Tucker Fisk TE | LAC

    Chargers' Tucker Fisk: Good to go for wild-card round

    Fisk (ankle) is active for Sunday's wild-card contest against the Patriots.

    Fisk will make his return to action after missing the team's last five regular-season contests with an ankle injury. The tight end will return to his role as the top reserve option behind starter Oronde Gadsden versus New England.

  • Bud Dupree OLB | LAC

    Chargers' Bud Dupree: Unavailable for wild-card round

    Dupree (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday night's matchup with the Patriots in the wild-card round.

    Dupree will be forced to sit out the team's first postseason contest after being hampered by a hamstring injury at practice throughout the week. In his absence, Odafe Oweh is a top candidate to see an increase in workload at linebacker behind Khalil Mack and Tuli Tuipulotu against New England.

  • Ji'Ayir Brown SAF | SF

    49ers' Ji'Ayir Brown: Done for night

    Brown (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest against Philadelphia, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Brown suffered a hamstring injury late in the first half, and his night has now officially come to a premature end. Marques Sigle will continue to see an increase in workload in San Francisco's secondary with Brown unavailable.

  • Jaguars' Parker Washington: Hauls in TD in wild-card loss

    Washington caught seven of 12 targets for 107 yards and a touchdown in the Jaguars' 27-24 loss to the Bills in the wild-card round Sunday. He added two rushing yards on two carries.

    The third-year wideout was Trevor Lawrence's top downfield option on the afternoon, leading Jacksonville in catches, yards and targets and capping his performance with a six-yard TD grab early in the fourth quarter. Dating back to Week 16, Washington topped 100 receiving yards in three of his last four games in 2025, erupting for a 26-454-3 line on 41 targets over that stretch, and the 2023 sixth-round pick will head into next season having made a strong case to be considered the Jags' No. 1 WR.

  • Jakobi Meyers WR | JAC

    Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Held to one catch Sunday

    Meyers caught one of four targets for 12 yards in the Jaguars' 27-24 loss to the Bills in the wild-card round Sunday.

    The last failed connection with Trevor Lawrence was the toughest one, as Meyers had the ball go off his hands and straight to Cole Bishop for a game-sealing INT on Jacksonville's final play. Despite the limited target volume, Meyers helped the Jags average 6.7 yards a carry with his blocking, and the veteran wideout is locked into a key role in the offense for 2026 after posting a 42-483-3 receiving line on 61 targets over nine regular-season games after being acquired from the Raiders at the trade deadline.

  • Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Finds end zone in wild-card loss

    Thomas caught both his targets for 21 yards and a touchdown in the Jaguars' 27-24 loss to the Bills in the wild-card round Sunday.

    The second-year wideout saw limited volume once again, but he made his looks count with a three-yard TD in the second quarter that put Jacksonville on the board. Thomas' struggles in 2025 defied easy explanation, and it will be one of coach Liam Coen's major projects this offseason to find a way to get the 23rd overall pick in the 2024 Draft back on the same page with quarterback Trevor Lawrence. After a dazzling rookie season that saw Thomas produce an 87-1,282-10 line on 133 targets over 17 games, he regressed to a 48-707-2 line on 91 targets over 14 regular-season contests in 2025.
