  • Matt Milano OLB | BUF

    Bills' Matt Milano: Full participant Thursday

    Milano (illness) was a full participant at Thursday's practice.

    Milano missed Wednesday's walk-through practice but has regained health Thursday. He's expected to occupy his usual starting spot at linebacker against the Jaguars in Sunday's wild-card-round matchup.

  • Andrew Wingard SAF | JAC

    Jaguars' Andrew Wingard: Production surges in 2025

    Wingard compiled 84 tackles (45 solo), nine passes defensed (including one interception) and one fumble recovery across 16 regular-season appearances in 2025.

    Wingard put together his most productive season since 2021 as Jacksonville's starting free safety. The veteran played an every-down role before missing Week 14 due to a concussion, and in three of four appearances since, his snap count has hovered closer to the 70-percent mark. Wingard will continue handling a key role in Jacksonville's secondary during the playoffs, beginning with Sunday's wild-card-round matchup against the Bills. He's scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

  • Matt Prater K | BUF

    Bills' Matt Prater: Practices without limits Thursday

    Prater (quadriceps) was a full participant at Thursday's practice.

    Prater's full participation Thursday sets him up to kick for the Bills in their wild-card-round trip to Jacksonville on Sunday. He sat out Weeks 16 and 17 due to the injury and didn't finish the game in Week 18. If Prater suffers a setback prior to Sunday's game, Matthew Wright remains on the practice squad as a potential alternative.

  • Byron Young LB | LAR

    Rams' Byron Young: Records double-digit sacks

    Young recorded 82 tackles (45 solo), including 12.0 sacks, and forced a fumble in 17 regular-season games during 2025.

    The durable Young, who hasn't missed a game in his three seasons in the league, took another step towards becoming one of the league's elite linebackers in 2025, finishing in a tie for eighth with Josh Sweat and Will Anderson for most sacks while earning his first career Pro Bowl nod in the process. It looked like he'd finish with much more than 12 sacks early in the season, as Young recorded at least half a sack in each of the Rams first seven games, before cooling off and recording just three sacks over the final 10 contests. Young will be entering the final year of his rookie deal in 2026 and will look to continue his upward progression before either signing an extension with the Rams or looking for a big payday in free agency.

  • Dalton Kincaid TE | BUF

    Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Another limited practice

    Kincaid (knee) remained limited at practice Thursday.

    Kincaid also was limited Wednesday, but at this stage there's nothing to suggest that he won't be available for Sunday's playoff opener against the Jaguars. Either way, Friday's final injury report is set to clarify whether the Bills' top tight end approaches the contest with an injury designation.

  • Daniel Jones QB | IND

    Colts' Daniel Jones: Colts plan to re-sign pending UFA

    Colts GM Chris Ballard said in his season-ending news conference Thursday that the team intends to re-sign Jones (Achilles), who will be a free agent this offseason, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports.

    "I think Daniel Jones has got a really bright future here in Indianapolis," Ballard said, adding that the team views Jones as an option in both the short- and long-term. The Colts were on pace to set multiple franchise records on offense in the first half of the season while Jones was healthy, but Jones was slowed by a fibula injury for a few weeks before tearing his Achilles in Week 14 against the Jaguars. The Colts ultimately finished 8-9 after starting 8-2. There had been rumblings of extension negotiations between Jones and the Colts prior to his injury. Jones' injury will have an impact on those negotiations, but there remains mutual interest in Jones rejoining a quarterback room that's set to include 2023 first-round pick Anthony Richardson (eye) and 2025 sixth-round pick Riley Leonard in 2026.

  • Chargers' Omarion Hampton: Expected to be involved in practice

    Offensive coordinator Greg Roman said that Hampton (ankle) will be "involved some" in practice Thursday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    The Chargers' upcoming injury report will reveal the official participation level of Hampton, who didn't practice Wednesday. As for the running back's status for Sunday's playoff opener against the Patriots, Roman noted, "We're going to wait and see on that. He's working through his process with the medical group. He's engaged. He's ready mentally with the game plan."

  • Ozzy Trapilo OT | CHI

    Bears' Ozzy Trapilo: Ready to face Packers

    Trapilo (quadriceps) practiced in full Thursday and does not carry an injury designation for Saturday's wild-card game against Green Bay.

    Trapilo missed Week 18 and was limited in practice Tuesday and Wednesday, but he's back to full health in time for Chicago's playoff opener. He's on track to draw his usual start at left tackle versus the Packers on Saturday.

  • Kaevon Merriweather: Placed on practice-squad IL

    Merriweather (knee) was placed on the Texans' practice-squad injured list Thursday.

    Merriweather won't be available to play in the postseason due to the knee injury he sustained in Houston's regular-season finale. The Texans signed fellow safety K'Von Wallace to the practice squad in a corresponding move.

  • Hunter Renfrow WR | CAR

    Hunter Renfrow: Minimal output in 2025

    Renfrow caught 15 of 26 targets for 89 yards and two touchdowns across six regular-season games for the Panthers in 2025.

    The 30-year-old wideout joined the Panthers on a one-year deal in late August after taking a break from football in 2024. Renfrow appeared poised to play a significant role early in the season, catching nine of 15 targets for 59 yards and two touchdowns over Carolina's first two games. However, he became a healthy scratch for each game following the Week 6 win over the Cowboys, as Jalen Coker returned from injury and rookie Jimmy Horn emerged as a key depth option. Renfrow was dropped by the Panthers in early January and will not be a part of the team's playoff campaign. If he finds work elsewhere for the 2026 NFL season, he'll likely remain in a reserve role.
