Phillips (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Patriots, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

The 29-year-old upgraded from a DNP on Wednesday to limited practice Friday, suggesting he's trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's playoff contest. Phillips is a key special-teamer for the Chargers (352 special-teams snaps), recording 37 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, over 17 appearances this season. If active for the wild-card matchup, he's expected to play a depth role in Los Angeles' linebacker corps while contributing on special teams.

When asked about his chances of playing in Sunday night's postseason opener against the Patriots, Hampton (ankle) -- who is officially listed as questionable for the contest -- replied, "That's the plan," Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

After logging 'DNPs' both Wednesday and Thursday, Hampton was able to work in a limited fashion Friday while sporting a brace on his right ankle, per Kris Rhim of ESPN.com. While the running back's assessment of his potential availability this weekend is encouraging, his status will still need to be verified ahead of the Chargers' 8:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If Hampton ends up limited Sunday or even sidelined, added opportunities would be available for fellow RBs Kimani Vidal, Hassan Haskins and Jaret Patterson.

Molden (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Patriots, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

Molden was sidelined for the Chargers' Week 18 loss to the Broncos due to a hamstring injury, but following a week of limited practice sessions, he could suit up Sunday. The 26-year-old from Washington is an integral part of Los Angeles' secondary, recording 52 total tackles and one interception across 12 appearances this season. If active for the wild-card round, Molden will likely operate as the Chargers' top free safety.

Fisk (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Patriots, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

The Stanford product has missed the Chargers' last six games due to an ankle injury, but following a full week of practice, he could return for Sunday's playoff contest. In 10 appearances this season, Fisk has tallied 19 receiving yards on just two receptions. He must still be activated to the Chargers' active roster in order to play in the wild-card round. If Fisk returns Sunday, he's expected to play a depth role in Los Angeles' tight end corps.

Gonzalez tallied 69 total tackles (54 solo) and 10 passes defensed over 14 regular-season games in 2025.

Gonzalez didn't record an interception for the first time in his pro career, but he still managed to reach double-digit passes defensed while missing three regular-season games. The third-year pro from Oregon has established himself as one of the NFL's top cornerbacks, recording 21 passes defensed, including two interceptions, over the last two years. Additionally, he posted a career-high 69 total tackles in 2025, tying for the sixth-most on the Patriots. Under contract through the 2026 season, Gonzalez is expected to start opposite Carlton Davis as part of New England's top outside cornerback duo following the 2025 playoff campaign.

Chaisson recorded 7.5 sacks among his 31 tackles (18 solo) while suiting up for 16 games during the 2025 regular season.

Chaisson set a new career high in sacks for the third consecutive season, jumping up from 5.0 sacks with the Raiders in 2024 to 7.5 sacks in his first season with New England. He had no more than 2.0 sacks in any of his first four NFL campaigns. Chaisson will remain a key part of the Patriots' pass rush in the playoffs, beginning with the wild-card round against the Chargers, before becoming a free agent in the offseason.

Davis recorded 69 total tackles (39 solo) and 10 passes defensed over 17 regular-season games in 2025.

The 29-year-old corner started all 17 regular-season games for the first time in his career this season. Davis proved to be a key addition to New England's defensive improvement from 2024 to 2025, as the team allowed the fourth-fewest points per game (18.8) and the ninth-fewest passing yards per game (193.5) in the NFL. Although he failed to record an interception for the first time since 2018, he was one of three Patriots to register double-digit passes defensed. Davis remains under contract through 2027 and is expected to remain a crucial part of the team's secondary following the 2025 playoff run.

Jones (calf) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's wild-card game against the Jaguars.

Jones has been cleared for his first game action since Week 16 after upgrading to full practice participation Friday following limited showings Wednesday and Thursday. He's expected to start along the interior of Buffalo's defensive line, as Jones did in all 12 of his regular-season appearances en route to 22 tackles (11 solo), including 3.0 sacks.

Johnson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's wild-card contest at Jacksonville.

Johnson emerged from a Week 18 win against the Jets with an ankle injury that left him day-to-day, as coach Sean McDermott told Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News on Monday. After sitting out Wednesday's walkthrough and Thursday's practice, Johnson mixed back into drills as a limited participant Friday, thus giving him a chance to suit up this weekend. If he's deemed active about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, Johnson and Ray Davis will serve in complementary roles out of the Bills backfield behind No. 1 option James Cook.

Woodson tallied 79 total tackles (42 solo) and three passes defensed over 17 regular-season games in 2025.

Woodson, a 2025 fourth-round pick from California, quickly became an integral part of the Patriots' secondary, starting 15 of the 17 regular-season games in which he appeared. He impressed throughout his rookie season, tying for the team lead in fumble recoveries while ranking fourth in total tackles. With Jaylinn Hawkins set to become an unrestricted free agent following the Patriots' 2025 playoff run, Woodson could start alongside a new running mate in 2026.
