  • Cade Stover TE | HOU

    Texans' Cade Stover: Done for day

    Stover (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's divisional-round matchup with the Patriots.

    Stover suffered a knee injury early in the fourth quarter, and he will now be forced to miss the remainder of the game. With Dalton Schultz (calf) already done for the day, Harrison Bryant will now operate as the team's top tight end against New England.

  • Case Keenum QB | CHI

    Bears' Case Keenum: Emergency QB versus Los Angeles

    Keenum (coach's decision) is inactive but serving as the Bears' emergency No. 3 quarterback in Sunday's divisional-round contest against the Rams, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official website reports.

    Keenum will once again operate as the team's third option at quarterback in the NFC Divisional round. The 37-year-old will only be eligible to enter the game if both starter Caleb Williams and backup Tyson Bagent are forced to exit the contest.

  • Rams' Desjuan Johnson: Active for divsional round

    Johnson (illness) is active for Sunday's divisional-round matchup versus the Bears

    Johnson missed Friday's practice with an illness, but it appears that it won't hold him back for the Rams' second playoff game. The 26-year-old has played in each of the last six games, including last week's wild-card win over Carolina, and he's tallied 13 tackles with two sacks over that span. Johnson should continue filling a backup role behind starting defensive end Braden Fiske.

  • Rams' Stetson Bennett: Operating as emergency QB

    Bennett (coach's decision) is inactive but serving as the Rams' emergency third quarterback in Sunday's divisional-round matchup against Chicago, Stu Jackson of the team's official website reports.

    Bennett will operate in his familiar role as the No. 3 QB for Los Angeles as the team looks to advance to the NFC Championship Game. The 28-year-old will only be able to enter the contest if both starter Matthew Stafford and backup Jimmy Garoppolo are sidelined.

  • Patriots' Rhamondre Stevenson: Returns to action Sunday

    Stevenson (eye) returned to Sunday's divisional-round game against the Texans, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

    Stevenson had exited the game due to an eye issue, but he was eventually able to return. He'll return to share backfield work versus Houston with fellow RB TreVeyon Henderson.

  • Tutu Atwell WR | LAR

    Rams' Tutu Atwell: Inactive Sunday

    Atwell (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's divisional-round matchup against the Bears, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official website reports.

    Atwell will take a seat after failing to record any stats while playing 15 offensive snaps in the team's wild-card win over the Panthers. The wide receiver had recorded just two catches on six targets for 28 yards over the Rams' final four regular-season contests and the first round of the postseason, so his absence won't carry much of an impact versus Chicago.

  • Rams' Jimmy Garoppolo: Good to go versus Chicago

    Garoppolo (back) is active for Sunday's divisional-round contest versus the Bears.

    Garoppolo popped up with a back issue on Thursday's injury report, but he'll still suit up and maintain his role as Los Angeles' backup quarterback behind Matthew Stafford. Meanwhile, Stetson Bennett (coach's decision) will operate as the emergency No. 3 quarterback, and he will only be eligible to enter if both Garoppolo and Stafford are forced out.

  • Bears' Jalen Reeves-Maybin: Suiting up Sunday

    Reeves-Maybin (back) is active for Sunday's divisional-round matchup versus the Rams.

    Reeves-Maybin exclusively played on special teams in three regular-season appearances for the Bears, and he stepped in on defense during last week's wild-card win over the Packers. The 30-year-old helped fill the absence of starting linebacker T.J. Edwards, who suffered a season-ending lower-leg injury against Green Bay. Reeves-Maybin is likely to see more playing time on defense again versus Los Angeles.

  • Rome Odunze WR | CHI

    Bears' Rome Odunze: Active versus Rams

    Odunze (foot) is active for Sunday's divisional-round game against the Rams.

    Odunze was listed as limited in Wednesday's walkthrough as well as Thursday's practice before being deemed a full participant in Friday's session and listed as questionable to face Los Angeles. The wideout returned from a five-game absence in this past Saturday's wild-card win over the Packers, en route to recording a 69 percent snap share and catching two of his six targets for 44 yards. With his active status this Sunday confirmed, Odunze is on track to maintain his key role in a Chicago WR corps that also features DJ Moore and Luther Burden. On the season, the 2024 first-rounder made his mark from a fantasy perspective by putting up a 44/661/6 receiving line on 90 targets over the course 12 regular-season outings.

  • Woody Marks RB | HOU

    Texans' Woody Marks: Back in Sunday's game

    Marks (shoulder) returned to Sunday's divisional-round game against the Patriots, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Marks had exited the contest to have his shoulder checked out, but he was subsequently deemed able to return to action. He'll continue to pace Houston's backfield in a game in which two of the team's top pass catchers, Nico Collins (concussion) and TE Dalton Schultz (calf), are unavailable.
