  • Sam Darnold QB | SEA

    Seahawks' Sam Darnold: Logs full practice Thursday

    Darnold (oblique) was a full practice participant Thursday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    This marks Darnold's first uncapped session since he injured his left oblique in advance of the Seahawks' divisional-round game against the 49ers. He's still suited up for both of Seattle's playoff contests, completing 37 of 53 passes for 470 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions. Following Thursday's development, Darnold is in line to continue to lead the team's offense Sunday versus the Patriots in Super Bowl LX.

  • Patriots' Robert Spillane: Back at practice

    Spillane (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

    The inside linebacker and New England's leading tackler during the regular season suffered the injury during the AFC Championship Game, had to leave that game early and hadn't practiced since then before Thursday. Spillane did say even before Thursday that he was confident he'd be good to go for the Super Bowl, and his return to practice shows that he is trending in the right direction. The former Raider recorded six stops in each of New England's first two playoff victories, games in which he played most of the snaps.

  • Kyle Hamilton SAF | BAL

    Ravens' Kyle Hamilton: Past head injury

    Hamilton (concussion) intercepted a pass during Tuesday's Pro Bowl flag football game.

    The All-Pro safety suffered a concussion during Baltimore's Week 18 loss to Pittsburgh and had to exit in the second half. His participation in the Pro Bowl Games suggests he's past the issue. That's good for the Ravens, who committed to their 2022 first-round pick, who has made an All-Pro team after each of the last three seasons, with a four-year, $100.4 million extension last August.

  • De'Von Achane RB | MIA

    Dolphins' De'Von Achane: Participates in Pro Bowl Games

    Achane (shoulder) gathered in all four targets during Tuesday's Pro Bowl flag football game.

    Achane didn't play Week 18 at New England due to a shoulder injury, but before his only absence of the 2025 regular season, he netted a career-high 1,838 yards from scrimmage (sixth in the NFL) and 12 total TDs (12th) on 305 touches (ninth) in 16 contests. With top WR Tyreek Hill sidelined following the gruesome knee injury he suffered in Week 4, Achane served as the centerpiece of the Dolphins offense. Miami has moved on from Mike McDaniel to Jeff Hafley as the team's head coach, but the latter likely will continue to lean on Achane as the running back enters the final year of his rookie contract in 2026.

  • Tom Kennedy WR | DET

    Lions' Tom Kennedy: Makes impact late in 2025

    Kennedy recorded four receptions for 36 yards across six regular-season games with the Lions in 2025. He also recorded 447 yards on 16 kick returns and 50 yards on three punt returns.

    Kennedy didn't make the Lions' roster out of training camp, but he did manage to secure a spot on the practice squad. He appeared in the team's final six games due to injuries to the rest of the team's receiving corps, with all of his offensive production coming Week 13. He also served as the primary kick returner for Detroit down the stretch, averaging 27.9 yards on his 16 returns. Kennedy is a restricted free agent this offseason, meaning he can easily be retained by the Lions if they choose to tender him.

  • Packers' Savion Williams: Not much action in 2025

    Williams (foot) finished the 2025 regular season with 10 catches (on 10 targets) for 78 yards and a touchdown and added 11 carries for 37 yards in 12 games.

    The wide receiver did also record 717 yards as a kickoff returner. It should be noted that a foot injury forced Williams out for five of the Packers' last six regular-season games, as well as the team's playoff loss to the Bears. At the same time, the 2025 third-round pick's highest offensive snap count in a game prior to the injury was 19 in Week 9 against Carolina.

  • Kyle Allen QB | DET

    Lions' Kyle Allen: Minimal action in 2025

    Allen didn't complete either of his two pass attempts while appearing in three regular-season games with the Lions in 2025. He also had three rush attempts for minus-3 yards.

    Allen won the backup quarterback job in Detroit during training camp and retained the role throughout the regular season. However, he played only 16 offensive snaps because Jared Goff remained healthy. Allen is set to hit free agency this offseason, and he'll likely compete for a backup role somewhere once again.

  • Nico Collins WR | HOU

    Texans' Nico Collins: Past concussion

    Collins (concussion) hauled in a touchdown pass from Browns QB Shedeur Sanders during Tuesday's Pro Bowl flag football game.

    After he suffered a concussion during the Texans' wild-card win at Pittsburgh, Collins wasn't able to practice before the team ruled him out ahead of a divisional-round loss in New England, but more than three weeks removed from the initial injury, his participation in the Pro Bowl Games indicates he's past the issue. He previously sat out Week 8 against the 49ers due to a head injury and was a healthy scratch Week 18 versus the Colts, finishing the 2025 regular season with his third straight 1,000-yard campaign. Collins is under contract with Houston through the 2027 season, so he'll remain the top target for QB C.J. Stroud for the foreseeable future.

  • Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Struggles to stand out

    Wicks (concussion) finished the 2025 regular season with 30 catches for 332 yards and two touchdowns in 14 games.

    A calf strain, an ankle sprain and a concussion did force Wicks to miss three contests and play fewer than 10 snaps in two others, but he was available for much of the year, and he still finished only third on the team with 46 targets during the regular season. Christian Watson saw more targets (55) than Wicks even though he sat for the first six games of the campaign. The 2023 fifth-round pick has yet to record 40 or more catches in a season across his three-year career.

  • Denzel Ward CB | CLE

    Browns' Denzel Ward: Production dips in 2025

    Ward (neck) recorded 39 total tackles (29 solo) and nine passes defensed, including one interception, across 15 regular-season games in 2025.

    The 28-year-old sustained a neck injury in the first quarter of Cleveland's season finale that sidelined him for the remainder of the game. Despite playing 47 more defensive snaps than he did in 2024, Ward saw declines in total tackles (49 to 39), passes defensed (19 to nine), interceptions (two to one) and forced fumbles (one to zero). Even so, the Ohio State product remained one of Cleveland's most productive corners, finishing with the second-most passes defensed on the team. Under contract through 2027, Ward will look to return to form as one of the NFL's top boundary cornerbacks ahead of next season.
