  • Josh Wallace CB | LAR

    Rams' Josh Wallace: Remains sidelined

    Wallace (ankle) has been ruled out for the Rams' wild-card matchup versus the Panthers on Saturday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

    Wallace was a limited participant in practice earlier in the week but will still be forced to miss his third consecutive game as he continues to battle an ankle injury. In his absence, Roger McCreary should once again see an uptick in playing time.

  • Rams' Stetson Bennett: Remains emergency QB

    Bennett (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Rams' emergency third quarterback during Saturday's wild-card matchup versus the Panthers, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

    Bennett has served as the team's emergency quarterback all season and will continue to do so Saturday. He is prohibited from playing unless both Matthew Stafford and Jimmy Garoppolo were to exit the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

  • David Moore WR | CAR

    Panthers' David Moore: Not playing vs. Rams

    Moore (coach's decision) is inactive for Carolina's wild-card matchup versus the Rams on Saturday.

    Moore was just activated off injured reserve earlier in the week after missing time with an elbow injury but will nonetheless be held out of Saturday's game. Tetairoa McMillan, Jalen Coker and Xavier Legette should continue to serve as the team's top receivers against Los Angeles, while Moore will look to suit up next week should the Panthers advance to the divisional round.

  • Rams' Terrance Ferguson: Inactive in wild-card round

    Ferguson (hamstring) is listed as inactive Saturday at Carolina, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

    A hamstring injury will force Ferguson to miss a second contest in a row, but he at least displayed some progress this week by capping it with a limited practice Thursday. In Ferguson's continued absence, Colby Parkinson, Tyler Higbee, Davis Allen and Nick Vannett will be the tight ends available to a Rams offense that utilizes the position heavily.

  • Drew Sanders LB | DEN

    Broncos' Drew Sanders: Practice window opens

    Sanders (foot) was designated to return from the injured reserve list Saturday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Sanders, a 2023 third-round pick from Arkansas, was sidelined for the entire regular season due to a foot injury sustained in training camp. However, it now appears he could return for the Broncos' playoff run. If activated to the active roster prior to Denver's divisional-round matchup next weekend, Sanders will likely operate as one of the team's top reserve inside linebackers.

  • Brett Toth OG | PHI

    Eagles' Brett Toth: Won't play Sunday

    Toth (concussion), who was originally listed as questionable for Sunday's wild-card matchup against the 49ers, has been downgraded to out.

    The Army product sustained a concussion during the Week 18 loss to the Commanders and couldn't clear protocol in time to play Sunday. While Toth is sidelined for the wild-card round, expect Drew Kendall to operate as Philadelphia's top reserve center.

  • Keon Coleman WR | BUF

    Bills' Keon Coleman: Larger role incoming?

    Coleman is expected to have an expanded offensive role while Joshua Palmer (ankle) is sidelined during Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Jaguars, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

    The 22-year-old wideout was a healthy scratch in four of the Bills' final eight regular-season games this year, but he's expected to take on an expanded offensive role Sunday due to Palmer being ruled out. Coleman, a 2024 second-round pick from Florida State, has caught 38 of 59 targets for 404 yards and four touchdowns across 13 appearances in 2025. Even so, Coleman is expected to play behind Khalil Shakir, Brandin Cooks and Tyrell Shavers during the wild-card round.

  • Lane Johnson OT | PHI

    Eagles' Lane Johnson: Trending toward return

    Johnson (foot) is trending toward returning for Sunday's wild-card matchup against the 49ers, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    The 35-year-old offensive tackle has been sidelined for the Eagles' last seven games due to a foot injury, but following a week of limited practice sessions, he's officially listed as questionable for the wild-card round. If Johnson returns as expected Sunday, he'll likely operate as Philadelphia's top right tackle.

  • Josh Palmer WR | BUF

    Bills' Joshua Palmer: Won't play Sunday

    Palmer (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's AFC wild-card game against the Jaguars.

    Palmer was held out of practice all week due to an ankle injury, which is severe enough for the veteran wideout to be sidelined for the Bills' playoff opener. With Palmer sidelined, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports that Keon Coleman -- who was a healthy inactive in four of the Bills' final eight games of the regular season -- is expected to be active against Jacksonville. Brandin Cooks and Tyrell Shavers are also in line for more snaps on offense in Palmer's absence.

  • 49ers' Trent Williams: Likely returning Sunday

    Williams (hamstring) is trending toward returning for Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Eagles, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    The All-Pro offensive lineman was sidelined for the 49ers' Week 18 loss to the Seahawks and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's contest. However, Williams logged consecutive limited sessions to end San Francisco's week of practice, suggesting he's trending in the right direction ahead of the wild-card round. If active Sunday, the 37-year-old is expected to operate as the 49ers' top left tackle.
