  • Patriots' Khyiris Tonga: Not practicing Wednesday

    Tonga (foot) did not participate in practice Wednesday.

    Tonga missed the final two games of the Patriots' regular season after suffering a foot injury in Week 16. If the 29-year-old wants a chance to play Sunday, he will likely need to participate in practice Thursday or Friday. The fifth-year pro has 22 tackles (six solo) in 14 games this season.

  • Mitchell Evans TE | CAR

    Panthers' Mitchell Evans: Solid rookie campaign in Carolina

    Evans caught 19 of 25 targets for 171 yards and two touchdowns and rushed once for one yard across 17 regular-season games in 2025.

    Despite opening the season as the Panthers' No. 3 tight end, Evans started 10 games and played 391 offensive snaps during his rookie campaign, largely due to Carolina's frequent use of two- and three-tight-end sets. The 2025 fifth-round pick from Notre Dame was used primarily as a blocker but also held his own as a receiver, averaging 9.0 yards per reception. With Ja'Tavion Sanders (ankle, IR) out for Carolina's 2025 playoff run, Evans is set to operate as the team's top backup behind Tommy Tremble. Even with Tremble and Sanders under contract for 2026 season, Evans will likely be more involved in the Panthers' offensive game plan.

  • Quintin Morris TE | JAC

    Jaguars' Quintin Morris: Grabs first touchdown

    Morris caught his lone target for a five-yard touchdown during Sunday's 41-7 win against the Titans.

    The 26-year-old played 45 percent of Jacksonville's offensive snaps and secured his first touchdown of the campaign during the second quarter. Morris joined Jacksonville for 2025 on a one-year contract, and he's poised to return to the open market this offseason after catching six passes for 55 yards during the regular season.

  • Panthers' Brycen Tremayne: Performs well in depth role

    Tremayne caught 14 of 18 targets for 160 yards across 16 regular-season games in 2025.

    Tremayne had appeared in just two NFL games and totaled minus-2 receiving yards prior to his 2025 campaign with the Panthers, but he emerged as a valuable contributor this season. The Stanford product tallied 11.4 yards per reception while also playing a significant role on special teams, logging 262 offensive snaps and 231 on special teams. Set to become an exclusive-rights free agent following Carolina's 2025 playoff run, Tremayne is expected to be retained by the Panthers. If he returns for 2026, he'd likely remain a depth option at wide receiver while contributing on special teams.

  • Johnny Mundt TE | JAC

    Jaguars' Johnny Mundt: Secures one pass Week 18

    Mundt caught his only target for 16 yards during Sunday's 41-7 win against the Titans.

    The 31-year-old's 16-yard reception during the second quarter was his first catch since Week 12 in Arizona. Mundt played in 16 games this season while serving as a secondary tight end for the Jaguars, and he finished the regular season with nine catches for 111 yards. He's under contract with Jacksonville for 2026, but he carries a $3.25 million cap hit and could be released with just a $500,000 dead cap penalty.

  • Dyami Brown WR | JAC

    Jaguars' Dyami Brown: Catches first pass since Week 9

    Brown caught his lone target for eight yards during Sunday's 41-7 win against the Titans.

    Brown didn't play any offensive snaps Week 17 and was without a reception since Week 9 in Las Vegas, but he had a minor offensive role during Sunday's blowout victory in the regular-season finale. The 26-year-old joined the Jaguars on a one-year, $10 million contract in March, and he'll return to the open market this offseason after catching 20 of 27 targets for 227 yards in 14 regular-season games during 2025.

  • 49ers' George Kittle: Limited Wednesday

    KIttle (ankle) practiced on a limited basis Wednesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    After missing a Week 17 win against the Bears due to a mid-to-low-ankle sprain, Kittle was back in action this past Saturday against the Seahawks, logging 95 percent of the snaps on his way to five catches (on seven targets) for 29 yards. He continues to deal with the injury in the wake of that loss, but he at least will have two more opportunities to log a full practice this week before the 49ers potentially tag him with a designation for Sunday's wild-card game at Philadelphia.

  • Omar Speights LB | LAR

    Rams' Omar Speights: Uptick in production

    Speights recorded 85 tackles (45 solo) and a pass defensed in 16 games during 2025.

    Despite playing in one fewer game than his rookie year in 2024, Speights saw significantly more action on the field this season, recording 667 snaps. Speights did deal with a high ankle sprain that cost him one game and kept him off and on the injury report for the latter half of the season, or he may have had an even more robust increase to his performance. This coincided with a merely modest gain in his tackle totals year-to-year, and Speights will look to continue his positive trend alongside Nate Landman as the likely starting inside linebackers for the Rams in 2026.

  • Tim Patrick WR | JAC

    Jaguars' Tim Patrick: Catches one pass Week 18

    Patrick secured his lone target for four yards during Sunday's 41-7 win against the Titans.

    Patrick played 22 offensive snaps in the regular-season finale and was targeted fewer than two times for a fourth straight contest. The 32-year-old sees sporadic playing time as Jacksonville's No. 4 wideout and should continue to fill that role in the playoffs. He finished the regular season having played in 16 games, catching 15 of 24 targets for 187 yards and three touchdowns.

  • Eagles' Jaelan Phillips: Full participant Wednesday

    Phillips (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Phillips was able to start the week as a full participant after missing last Sunday's loss to the Commanders due to an ankle injury he likely sustained against the Bills in Week 17. The weakside linebacker's ability to start the week with full participation means he should be all set to suit up for Sunday's wild-card game against the 49ers alongside fellow linebackers Zack Baun, Nakobe Dean (hamstring) and Nolan Smith.
