Brown (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Saturday's wild-card game against the Rams.

Brown has exited the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, which means he has gained clearance from an independent neurologist and will be available for Saturday's playoff game against his former team. The rotational defensive lineman practiced without limitations Wednesday and Thursday.

Warren (illness) didn't practice Thursday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

With a 'DNP' to start the practice week, Warren's status now merits monitoring in advance of Monday night's playoff opener against the Texans. The running back has two more chances to practice before the Steelers assign game designations for that contest Saturday.

Hines-Allen recorded 8.0 sacks among his 49 tackles (28 solo) in the 2025 regular season while adding three passes defensed.

Hines-Allen suited up for all 17 regular-season games and matched his 2024 regular-season sack total. He hasn't come close to replicating the production from his 17.5-sack Pro Bowl season in 2023, but Hines-Allen remains a steady contributor when it comes to rushing the passer, having notched at least 7.0 sacks in six of his seven NFL campaigns. He'll face former namesake Josh Allen and the Bills in the wild-card round Sunday, and Hines-Allen's ability to generate pressure could be key to slowing down Buffalo's star quarterback.

Johnson made 58 tackles (37 solo), including 2.0 sacks, across 17 regular-season appearances in 2025. He also recorded a career-high nine passes defensed (including five interceptions) and one pick-six.

Johnson's pick-six came Week 18 against the Titans, a contest in which he totaled three solo tackles and one interception, which he returned for the first defensive touchdown of his career. The 2023 fifth-round pick will continue handling a significant rotational role in Jacksonville's secondary during Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Bills. He has one more year remaining on his rookie deal.

Armstead compiled 28 tackles (13 solo), including 5.5 sacks, plus one forced fumble across 16 regular-season appearances in 2025.

Armstead will continue holding down a starting role at defensive tackle during Jacksonville's playoff run, beginning with Sunday's wild-card-round matchup against the Bills. He has one more year remaining on his contract with the Jaguars, though the team has a potential 'out' in his deal this offseason, albeit at the cost of $17.1 million in dead cap.

Tom (back/knee) is officially listed as questionable for Saturday's wild-card matchup on the road against Chicago, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Tom was listed as limited on Green Bay's first two practice reports this week, but he was listed as a non-participant Thursday due to what head coach Matt LaFleur labeled a "rest day." The starting left tackle hasn't played since injuring his knee Week 15 versus Denver, and he's also been managing a back injury since that game. LaFleur said Tom has "looked good in practice" and that the Packers will "give him up till gametime, and if he can go, he'll be out there."

Pearsall (knee/ankle) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Though Pearsall was present for the session, he was relegated to working out on a rehab field to the side of practice while he continues to manage a lingering PCL injury to his right knee in addition to an ankle issue. The 49ers haven't indicated that Pearsall's aggravation of the knee injury is as significant as the initial PCL sprain that kept him sidelined for six straight games earlier this season, but with no practice activity so far this week, the wideout would appear to be in danger of missing Sunday's wild-card game in Philadelphia.

Verse recorded 58 tackles (35 solo), including 7.5 sacks, a pass defensed and three forced fumbles over 17 regular-season games in 2025.

The second verse was nearly identical to the first for the 2024 first-round pick for the Rams, as his tackles decreased by six year-to-year, but he recorded 3.0 additional sacks and one more forced fumble while operating as half of a dominant duo alongside Byron Young. Verse's play was rewarded with a selection as a 2026 NFL Pro Bowler alongside Young, and Verse should continue his ascension towards being one of the top linebackers in the NFL in his third season.

Green Bay lists Willis (shoulder/hamstring) as questionable for Saturday's wild-card game in Chicago, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Though Willis was inactive for the Packers' Week 18 loss to the Vikings due to the injuries to his hamstring and throwing shoulder, head coach Matt LaFleur expressed confidence earlier in the week that the fourth-year quarterback would be ready to back up starter Jordan Love in the postseason opener. However, with Willis not advancing beyond limited practice participation throughout the week, his status for Saturday's contest would appear to be more uncertain than initially expected. In the event Willis isn't available to play against the Bears, the Packers would turn to the newly-signed Desmond Ridder to serve as Love's backup.

Niemann (pectoral) is officially listed as questionable for Saturday's wild-card matchup against Chicago, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Niemann has been listed as limited in practice all week in advance of Saturday's road playoff opener, though Green Bay officially activated him from IR on Wednesday. If cleared to face the Bears, Niemann will stand to handle a significant role on special teams while also operating as a reserve option at linebacker.
