Cole Van Lanen OG | JAC
Jaguars' Cole Van Lanen: Questionable for wild-card round
Van Lanen (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's wild-card game against the Bills.
The Jaguars are mostly healthy heading into the playoffs, but the status of their starting left tackle is up in the air. If Van Lanen doesn't suit up, it could be a major blow considering his strong play has been an understated factor in Jacksonville's second-half surge this season. Walker Little would likely fill in if Van Lanen is unavailable.

Kobie Turner DE | LAR
Rams' Kobie Turner: Another productive season
Turner recorded 48 tackles (24 solo), including 7.0 sacks, and three pass defenses (including an interception) in 17 games in 2025.
There was a slight dip in overall numbers for the third-year pro, but it was still a successful campaign for Turner, who garnered his first interception in his pro career in Week 16 off Sam Darnold. After starting the year with just 1.5 sacks through Week 11, Turner went on a tear over the next five games, notching sacks in four out of five and recording a total of 5.5 in that span. Turner will be playing the final year of his rookie contract in 2026, and he should be looking at a healthy payday via an extension with the Rams or free agency after next year.

Azeez Ojulari LB | PHI
Eagles' Azeez Ojulari: Questionable but still on IR
Ojulari (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's wild-card game against the 49ers.
Ojulari would need to be activated from injured reserve in order to suit up Sunday, but he has looked promising in practice after having his return window opened Wednesday, as he practiced without limitations Friday. If given clearance to play, Ojulari would likely work in a depth role after being limited to three appearances during the regular season.

Lane Johnson OT | PHI
Eagles' Lane Johnson: Questionable with foot issue
Johnson (foot) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the 49ers.
Johnson logged limited practices throughout the week, maintaining a chance to play in Sunday's game. The starting right tackle has not played in a game since Week 11 against the Lions, when he suffered a foot injury after just 14 snaps. If Johnson can return for Sunday's game he will replace Fred Johnson at offensive tackle, making the Eagles' offensive line whole again for the first time in seven weeks.

Marcus Epps SAF | PHI
Eagles' Marcus Epps: Clears concussion protocol
Epps (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's wild-card matchup against the 49ers.
Epps logged consecutive full practices to end the week and has officially cleared the league's concussion protocol. The free safety has avoided an injury designation just in time to start in Sunday's playoff clash. The 29-year-old is set to reclaim his starting role from fellow safety Sydney Brown, who will likely see fewer defensive snaps in Sunday's contest.

Robert Hunt OT | CAR
Panthers' Robert Hunt: Back for wild-card round
Hunt (biceps) was activated from injured reserve Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Saturday's wild-card game against the Rams, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Hunt will man his customary starting spot at right guard, which could provide a substantial boost to the effectiveness of Carolina's offensive line. After making the Pro Bowl in 2024, Hunt had been sidelined since Week 2 of the 2025 season by a torn biceps.

Jalen Carter DT | PHI
Eagles' Jalen Carter: Cleared for Sunday
Carter (hip) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's wild-card matchup against the 49ers.
Carter was able to upgrade to a full participant in Friday's practice after being limited in the previous two sessions. The defensive lineman is set to suit up for Sunday's playoff contest alongside starting nose tackle Jordan Davis and defensive end Moro Ojomo. Jaelan Phillips is also clear of any injury designation, so the Eagles are set to have a full starting defensive line on the field for Sunday's elimination game.

Greg Newsome II CB | JAC
Jaguars' Greg Newsome: Cleared despite limited practices
Newsome (shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's wild-card round game against the Bills.
Newsome was limited by a shoulder injury in practice throughout the week but will be available when the Jaguars host the Bills in Sunday's postseason matchup. The starting cornerback could be a key contributor since the normally run-heavy Bills offense may opt for a more pass-heavy approach to put the ball in star quarterback Josh Allen's hands against a Jaguars defense that was the best in the league at defending the run in the regular season.

Zamir White RB | LV
Raiders' Zamir White: Handles just 12 carries in 2025
White took 12 total carries for 32 yards and caught four of six targets for 24 yards over six games in 2025.
White was a healthy scratch more often than not in the final season of his rookie contract with the Raiders, appearing in just six of 17 games while falling well behind Ashton Jeanty and Raheem Mostert (knee) in the pecking order at running back. Jeanty is slated to remain in a workhorse role next season, so White may look to compete for a role elsewhere in free agency.

Grant Calcaterra TE | PHI
Eagles' Grant Calcaterra: Ready for Sunday
Calcaterra (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's wild-card round matchup with the 49ers.
Calcaterra was able to upgrade to a full participant in Friday's practice after being limited Thursday and a non-participant Wednesday. The tight end is set to suit up for Sunday's wild-card contest as the No. 2 option behind Dallas Goedert.
