Higbee caught two passes (on three targets) for 45 yards during the Rams' 34-31 win over the Panthers during Saturday's NFC wild-card game.

Higbee brought in a 36-yard pass from Matthew Stafford midway through the second quarter to put the Rams in Panthers territory, leading to a 46-yard field goal from Harrison Mevis four plays later. Higbee played 39 of 76 offensive snaps (51.3 percent), which was second most among Rams tight ends behind Colby Parkinson (57 snaps), and the former finished third on the team in receiving yards behind Puka Nacua (111) and Davante Adams (72). Terrance Ferguson was inactive for the wild-card round due to a hamstring injury, so Higbee and Parkinson would operate as the Rams' top tight ends for the divisional round if Ferguson is not cleared to play.

The Steelers downgraded Loudermilk (ankle) from questionable to out in advance of Monday's wild-card game against the Texans.

Loudermilk was cleared to resume practicing this week for the first time since Week 2 after the Steelers opened his 21-day practice window, but the fifth-year defensive lineman remains on injured reserve so he doesn't count toward Pittsburgh's active roster. If Pittsburgh wins Monday, Loudermilk could be an option to return to action during the divisional round.

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.

Monangai rushed eight times for 27 yards while adding a 22-yard reception on three targets in the Bears' 31-27 wild-card win over the Packers on Saturday.

Although Monangai has played 40 to 45 percent of the snaps in each of Chicago's last six games, he handled single-digit carries for the fourth straight contest. After being a solid fantasy producer in Weeks 9-13, the running back has 57 or fewer scrimmage yards with no touchdowns over the last six games. Monangai will likely continue to be the clear second option in the Bears' backfield during next week's divisional-round clash.

Stafford suffered an injury to a finger on his throwing hand during Saturday's 34-31 wild-card win over the Panthers, but he's believed to have avoided a dislocation after X-rays returned negative, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Stafford appeared to jam his finger in the first half of Saturday's contest, and though he didn't end up missing any snaps, the injury may have affected the accuracy and velocity of his throws early on in the second half. The newly minted first-team All-Pro selection didn't seem to be compromised in the fourth quarter, however, as he tossed a pair of go-ahead touchdowns in the final 15 minutes to help the Rams seal the win. Stafford could require further treatment for the finger during the upcoming week, but he doesn't appear to be at any real risk of missing the Rams' divisional-round matchup next weekend against a yet-to-be-determined opponent.

Ward recorded 31 tackles (15 solo) with 5.0 sacks across 17 games with the Titans in 2025.

Ward joined the Titans on a one-year contract in the offseason and served as one of the team's top pass rushers. He logged a career-high 22 quarterback hits and matched his career-best sack total. Ward will be a free agent in March and should be able to land another short-term contract.

Baker recorded 55 tackles (39 solo) with seven passes defensed across 17 games in 2025.

Baker served as Tennessee's top corner for much of the season due to the absence of L'Jarius Sneed (quadriceps). He was picked on by opposing quarterbacks and surrendered a poor 135.4 passer rating and a 72.9 completion percentage when targeted, per PFF. Baker is an unrestricted free agent, and he'll likely have to settle for a modest, short-term deal.

Joseph-Day recorded 41 tackles (22 solo) with 2.0 sacks and a recovered fumble across 17 games in 2025.

Joseph-Day has never provided much as a pass rusher, but he's served as a solid run stuffer. That continued in 2025, as he was credited with 28 run stuffs by PFF and was charged with only a 9.1 percent missed tackle rate -- his best mark since 2020. Joseph-Day will become a free agent this offseason, and he should land a new deal, whether in Tennessee or elsewhere.

Barton recorded 81 tackles (37 solo) with 1.0 sacks and three interceptions across 17 games in 2025.

Barton signed a significant three-year deal with the Titans prior to the 2025 season with the idea that he'd lead the linebacker corps. However, Cedric Gray instead emerged into that role, while Barton disappointed. He was fairly effective in coverage --his three picks were a career high -- but he struggled in run defense and logged his lowest tackle total since 2021, when he played primarily on special teams.

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.
