Collins (concussion) is not participating in the early portion of Friday's practice open to the media, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Collins has yet to resume practicing in even a limited capacity since having sustained a concussion during Houston's wild-card win at Pittsburgh on Monday, which seemingly puts him on the wrong track for Sunday's divisional-round game at New England. Friday's official injury report will reveal whether the Texans leave the door open for Collins to play this weekend, but in order to retake the field he would need to gain full clearance from the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, including from an independent neurologist.

Billings is not listed on the Bears' injury report ahead of Sunday's NFC divisional-round game against the Rams.

Billings sustained a hip injury during the Bears' wild-card win over the Packers, but his absence from the injury report indicates that he'll be available for Sunday's playoff tilt. The veteran defensive tackle logged 31 tackles (19 solo), including 1.0 sacks, across 17 regular-season games for Chicago in 2025.

Surratt (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's NFC divisional-round game against the 49ers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Surratt landed on injured reserve in late November due to an ankle injury he sustained in Week 12 against the Titans. He was designated to return from IR on Tuesday, and despite ending the week with back-to-back full practices, Surratt has not been cleared to return. His next chance to play would be in the NFC Championship Game if the Seahawks were to win Saturday's contest.

Gross-Matos (knee) does not carry an injury designation into Saturday's NFC divisional-round clash against Seattle.

Despite not practicing Thursday, Gross-Matos has progressed enough in his recovery from a knee injury to play in Saturday's playoff bout. He logged eight tackles (three solo) and one pass defense across eight regular-season games in 2025 while serving in a rotational role on the 49ers' defensive line.

Puni (ankle) does not carry an injury designation into Saturday's NFC divisional-round game against the Seahawks.

Puni opened the week with back-to-back limited practices due to an ankle injury. He avoided an injury designation for the divisional round after logging a full practice Thursday, and he should start at right guard Saturday.

Knight (shoulder) does not carry an injury designation into Saturday's NFC divisional-round tilt against the 49ers, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Knight was unable to practice Tuesday due to a shoulder issue, but he was able to increase his practice participation over the next two days, culminating in a full session Thursday to avoid an injury tag for the divisional round. The second-year pro played mostly on special teams toward the tail end of the regular season and finished with 57 tackles (37 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and two forced fumbles across 16 games.

Cross (knee/hamstring) does not carry an injury designation into Saturday's NFC divisional-round game against the 49ers, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Hamstring and knee injuries limited Cross's practice participation Wednesday, but the fourth-year pro avoided an injury tag for the divisional round after logging a full practice Thursday. Cross should remain the starter at left tackle while Mason Richman and Amari Kight provide depth.

Jones (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's NFC divisional-round game against the 49ers, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

Jones was unable to practice all week while tending to a knee injury. His absence means Mason Richman and Amari Kight will serve as the primary backup offensive tackles behind Abraham Lucas and Charles Cross for Saturday's contest.

Jones (illness) does not carry an injury designation into Saturday's NFC divisional-round tilt against San Francisco.

Jones popped up on Wednesday's injury report due to an illness, but his ailment isn't considered severe enough for him to miss Saturday's playoff contest. The fifth-year pro ended the 2025 regular season with 126 tackles (60 solo), including 0.5 sacks, and seven pass defenses (four interceptions and a pick-six) across 15 games.

Arroyo (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's NFC divisional-round game against the 49ers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Arroyo was a full participant in all three practices this week, but he hasn't recovered quite enough from a knee injury to be activated from injured reserve. The rookie second-rounder's next chance to play would be in the NFC Championship Game if the Seahawks emerge victorious Saturday.
