    Clayton Tune: Cut after Week 18 start

    The Packers cut Tune on Tuesday.

    After being locked into the No. 7 seed in the NFC playoffs heading into Week 18, the Packers opted to make normal starter Jordan Love active in a backup role for the regular-season finale, while No. 2 quarterback Malik Willis (shoulder/hamstring) was inactive. As a result, the Packers turned to Tune to make a spot start this past Sunday, with the 26-year-old attempting just 11 passes as Green Bay rolled out a conservative game plan in a 16-3 loss to the Vikings. Both Love and Willis are on track to be available for Saturday's wild-card game in Chicago, and the Packers have now opted to part ways with Tune. Green Bay will still keep a third quarterback on its roster for the playoffs, however, as Desmond Ridder was signed off the practice squad in a corresponding move. Over his two appearances for Green Bay, Tune completed just seven of 15 passes for 42 yards and an interception while carrying five times for 23 yards.

  • Packers' Desmond Ridder: Joins active roster

    Green Bay signed Ridder off the practice squad Tuesday.

    Ridder replaces Clayton Tune as the Packers' QB3 behind Jordan Love and Malik Willis (shoulder) after Tune completed just six of 11 passes for 34 scoreless yards in Sunday's regular-season finale against Minnesota.

  • Shaun Dolac LB | LAR

    Rams' Shaun Dolac: Sent to IR

    The Rams placed Dolac (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday.

    Dolac was injured in the regular-season finale against the Cardinals on Sunday and has an injury to his PCL, according to Nate Atkins of The Athletic. The rookie linebacker appeared in all 17 regular-season contests for Los Angeles, logging 25 tackles (16 solo) as a staple on special teams. He will now be required to miss the entire postseason.

  • Darrell Taylor DE | HOU

    Texans' Darrell Taylor: Activated from IR

    The Texans activated Taylor (ankle) to the 53-man roster from injured reserve Tuesday.

    Taylor resumed practicing in full mid-December, so it appears he'll be ready to contribute during Monday's wild-card round matchup against the Steelers. Expect the defensive end to handle a depth role on defense and also take snaps on special teams.

  • Quentin Lake SAF | LAR

    Rams' Quentin Lake: Activated from IR

    The Rams activated Lake (elbow) from injured reserve Tuesday.

    Lake practiced fully Thursday and Friday last week, so it appears he's ready to roll for Saturday afternoon's wild-card matchup against the Panthers. Lake hasn't played since he was injured in Week 11. Across 10 appearances this season, he's logged 61 tackles (37 solo), including 1.0 sacks, 10 pass breakups, including one interception, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery on 92 percent of the defensive snaps.

  • K'Von Wallace SAF | HOU

    K'Von Wallace: Cut by Houson

    The Texans waived Wallace on Tuesday.

    Houston signed Wallace to the 53-man roster from the practice squad Dec. 26, and he handled a starting role on defense for the team in Week 17 and Week 18, totaling nine tackles (seven solo) in those appearances. He could now be a candidate to resurface on the team's practice squad, as the Texans prepare to make a hopeful run during the playoffs.

  • A.J. Henning WR | MIA

    Dolphins' AJ Henning: Gets reserve/future deal with Phins

    Miami signed Henning to a reserve/future contract Tuesday.

    Henning spent the entire 2025 season on the Dolphins' practice squad, and he was never called upon to suit up for a regular-season game. He's fully served the two-game suspension for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing substances policy he received early December, and will now spend the offseason competing for a depth role with Miami.

  • Tanner McLachlan: Cut from practice squad

    The Chargers cut McLachlan from the practice squad Tuesday.

    McLachlan's spot on the practice squad will be taken by wide receiver Luke Grimm. A second-year pro, McLachlan ultimately was not elevated to suit up for a regular-season game with Los Angeles in 2025.

  • Nick Nash WR | ATL

    Commanders' Nick Nash: Inks reserve/future deal

    The Commanders signed Nash to a reserve/future contract Tuesday, Zach Selby of the team's official site reports.

    Nash spent time on the Falcons' practice squad in 2025, and he'll now get a chance to compete for a reserve role with Washington during the offseason. The wide receiver is still looking for an opportunity to make his regular-season debut.

  • Rams' Harrison Mevis: Involved often in win

    Mevis connected on all three field-goal attempts and all four PAT tries during Sunday's 37-20 victory against the Cardinals.

    It was more of the same for Mevis, who has been rock solid since taking over the starting kicker role from Joshua Karty in Week 10. Over his nine games as the starter, Mevis was a perfect 39-for-39 on extra-point tries and 12-for-13 on field-goal attempts, with the lone miss a costly one in overtime against the Seahawks in Week 16. Despite the lone blemish on his record, Mevis has proven to be a reliable option at kicker for the Rams, something they've sorely lacked since the departure of Matt Gay after the 2022 season. The Rams likely will extend a contract offer to Mevis, an exclusive-rights free agent, after the playoffs, but for now he'll prepare for a wild-card round showdown against the Panthers on Saturday.
