Stafford completed 24 of 42 passes for 304 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in Saturday's 34-31 wild-card round win over the Panthers.

Stafford played well to start the game and led a pair of touchdown drives in the Rams' first three possessions. His first was a 14-yard strike to Puka Nacua, and the second also went to Nacua, though Stafford wasn't credited with a touchdown, as his pass was ultimately ruled a lateral. Late in the second quarter, he hit his hand on a defender with a follow-through, which seemed to affect his accuracy and power on throws early in the second half. However, Stafford led two touchdown drives in the final eight minutes of the fourth quarter, which he capped with passing scores of 13 and 19 yards. While there was some inconsistency during the game, Stafford ultimately delivered and avoided Carolina's upset bid to advance the Rams to the divisional round.

Coker recorded nine receptions on 12 targets for 134 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 34-31 wild-card round loss to the Rams.

The Panthers nearly pulled off the significant upset, and Coker was a key to the offense's success. He led the team in every stat and pulled in a seven-yard touchdown catch with 2:39 remaining in the fourth quarter to give the Panthers the lead. Coker also chipped in long catches of 52 and 37 yards to record the highest single-game yardage total of his career, even more impressive considering it was his first appearance in the postseason. Coker missed the first half of the regular season with a quadriceps injury, but he looks capable of forming a solid wide receiver duo with Tetairoa McMillan in 2026.

Nacua recorded 10 receptions on 18 targets for 111 yards and one touchdown in Saturday's 34-31 wild-card round win over the Panthers. He added three rushes for 14 yards and an additional score.

Nacua got off to a hot start, logging three receptions for 40 yards and a touchdown on the Rams' first offensive possession. He then capped off the team's third drive with a five-yard score that came on a backward pass from Matthew Stafford. Nacua also uncharacteristically dropped a wide-open pass heading into halftime that would have been another long touchdown, though he made up for that by breaking up a potential interception late in the fourth quarter to help the Rams advance. All told, he played a key role in the win and will remain a focal point of the offense in the upcoming divisional round.

Wharton was ruled out of Saturday's wild-card game against the Rams due to a hamstring injury, Kassidy Hill of the Panthers' official site reports.

Wharton missed Week 18 with a hamstring injury but was removed from the injury report Tuesday. He seemingly aggravated the issue Saturday and was forced to exit after logging two tackles.

Jones (knee) was not activated from injured reserve ahead of Saturday's wild-card round game against the Packers, Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Jones logged two full practices to close the week but still isn't able to retake the field. Ozzy Trapilo has taken over as the starter at left tackle, but Jones' continued absence will hurt Chicago's depth.

Horn is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Rams, Kassidy Hill of the Panthers' official site reports.

Horn had played most of the game but missed a pivotal possession late in the fourth quarter, during which the Rams took the lead. He recorded four tackles (two solo) and one pass defensed prior to his exit.

Kalinic was elevated from the Bears' practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Kalinic has been elevated for the second straight game after working exclusively on special teams in Week 18. He'll likely play a similar role in Saturday's matchup against the Packers.

Tom (back) is inactive for Saturday's wild-card round game against the Bears, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Tom logged two limited practices to begin the week but was downgraded to no participation Thursday. That was labeled as a rest day by head coach Matt LaFleur, though that now proves to be inaccurate. Tom's absence will leave a big void along Green Bay's offensive line, with Jordan Morgan set to step in at right tackle.

Niemann is active for Saturday's wild-card round game against the Bears, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Niemann has been sidelined since Week 8 with a pectoral injury, but he was activated from injured reserve earlier in the week. He'll now be ready to return to the field and will likely contribute primarily on special teams.

Gordon is active for Saturday's wild-card round game against the Packers.

Gordon was able to play in only three regular-season games due to a groin injury. He was activated from injured reserve earlier in the day and will now be active for the first time since Week 13. Gordon should immediately start at an outside corner position.
