Johnson (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's wild-card contest against the Jaguars.

Johnson logged a season-high 13 carries in the Bills' Week 18 win over the Jets, with the team electing to limit lead back James Cook to just two snaps in order to keep him healthy ahead of the playoffs. Johnson emerged from the contest with an ankle injury that led to him being deemed a non-participant in Wednesday's walkthrough as well as Thursday's practice. After returning to a limited session Friday, Johnson headed into the weekend listed as questionable. Now that he's been made inactive versus Jacksonville, Ray Davis and practice-squad elevation Frank Gore are on hand to work in complementary roles out of Buffalo's backfield behind Cook on Sunday.

Thompson (neck) is active for Sunday's AFC wild-card game against the Jaguars.

Thompson played through a neck injury in Week 17 before resting Week 18, and he has progressed enough in his recovery to be cleared to play in Sunday's playoff game. The veteran linebacker finished the regular season with 56 tackles (33 solo), including 1.0 sacks, two pass defenses and one forced fumble over 12 games.

Prater (quadriceps) is active for Sunday's AFC wild-card game against the Jaguars.

Prater aggravated a right quadriceps injury during the Bills' Week 18 win over the Jets, which put his status for the playoffs in jeopardy. He strung together a DNP/FP/DNP practice log to earn the questionable tag, and with Matthew Wright remaining on the practice squad, Prater will be the lone kicker on the Bills' active roster for Sunday's playoff tilt.

Watson finished the 2025 regular season with 35 catches (on 55 targets) for 611 yards and six touchdowns across 10 games.

Watson played a key role on the Packers' offense during Saturday's 31-27 NFC wild-card loss to the Bears, finishing with three catches (on seven targets) for 39 yards which included a seven-yard touchdown pass from Jordan Love late in the first quarter. Watson missed the first seven games of the regular season while recovering from a torn ACL that he suffered in Week 18 of the 2024 campaign. Despite the missed time, the fourth-year pro finished the regular season second on the Packers in catches, targets and yards behind Romeo Doubs. Even with Green Bay bringing in rookie Matthew Golden, Watson still played a key part in the offense, particularly after Tucker Kraft tore his ACL in Week 9 against the Panthers. Watson -- who the Packers selected in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft -- is under contract with Green Bay through the 2026 campaign.

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.
