Brock Purdy QB | SF
49ers' Brock Purdy: Not expected to miss practice time
San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that he expects Purdy (shoulder) to be a full participant in practice throughout the week leading up to Sunday's wild-card game at Philadelphia, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.
Though Purdy took every snap in this past Saturday's 13-3 loss to the Seahawks, he sustained what Shanahan labeled as a "stinger" when he was hit by a defender on the 49ers' final offensive play of the game. Shanahan relayed that Purdy would have been able to return to the Week 18 contest had the 49ers gotten the ball back, and the coach was even more adamant in his conviction that the quarterback would be available for the postseason opener after Purdy checked out fine upon getting evaluated further following Saturday's game. Purdy concluded the regular season having completed 197 of 284 pass attempts (69.4 percent) for 2,167 yards, 20 touchdowns and 10 interceptions to go with 147 yards and three more scores on 33 carries across his nine appearances.

Ronnie Rivers RB | LAR
Rams' Ronnie Rivers: Works as return man
Rivers returned four kickoffs for 107 yards during Sunday's 37-20 victory against the Cardinals.
Kyren Williams and Blake Corum became a formidable duo in 2025, combining for 404 carries, 1,998 yards on the ground and 16 touchdowns. This didn't leave much for Rivers, who finished his fourth year with the Rams with just 46 yards on nine carries over 11 games. Rivers did return 16 kicks for 418 yards, but the return role was a fairly even split with Corum, Jordan Whittington (knee) and Xavier Smith. With the Rams securely set with Williams, Corum and 2025 fourth-round pick Jarquez Hunter in the backfield, Rivers, who will be an unrestricted free agent at season's end, may test free agency to find a more secure role elsewhere. He'll next take on Carolina on Saturday in the wild-card round of the playoffs.

Eli Pancol WR | IND
Colts' Eli Pancol: Stays with Indy
The Colts signed Pancol to a reserve/future contract Monday.
The Duke product signed to the Colts' practice squad in late November after being waived by the Jaguars with an injury designation in August. Pancol did not appear in an NFL game in 2025. The 25-year-old will participate in Indy's offseason activities and attempt to earn a spot on the active roster next season.

Davis Allen TE | LAR
Rams' Davis Allen: Draws single target
Allen failed to secure his only target during Sunday's 37-20 victory against the Cardinals.
It was the second straight week without a catch for Allen, who watched Tyler Higbee return from an ankle injury and post five catches for 91 yards and a touchdown, while Colby Parkinson pitched in with four catches for 36 yards and two touchdowns of his own. Allen and rookie Terrance Ferguson (hamstring) are firmly in the second tier of the Rams tight-end corps heading into the postseason, but Allen's performance in his third year in the league was a fair step up from his first two despite a disappointing final two performances. A 24-208-3 receiving line this year was well ahead of his combined 16-134-1 line from his first two years in the league, and with Higbee set to be a free agent after the season, Allen's role could increase even further in the final year of his rookie contract. The quartet of Rams' tight ends will take on Carolina in the wild-card round on Saturday.

Coleman Owen WR | IND
Colts' Coleman Owen: Lands with Indianapolis
The Colts signed Owen to a reserve/future contract Monday.
The undrafted rookie out of Ohio spent a majority of the season on Indianapolis' practice squad, appearing in two games with 20 total snaps (19 on special teams and one offensive) and accounting for 143 total return yards. Owen will have the opportunity to participate in the Colts' offseason activities and attempt to earn a spot on their active roster next season.

Ben Sinnott TE | WAS
Commanders' Ben Sinnott: Held to three yards in Week 18
Sinnott caught both of his targets for three yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over Philadelphia.
The 2024 second-round pick finishes his second NFL season with a 11-114-1 line on 13 targets. Sinnott played more than 50 percent of offensive snaps in each of the final four games, catching seven of nine targets for 73 yards during that stretch. The Commanders likely are in need of a new starting tight end with Zach Ertz recovering from an ACL tear and scheduled for free agency, but Sinnott hasn't shown much of anything to suggest he can be that player. There's still late-breakout argument, depending on Washington's offseason moves in the coming months.

Treylon Burks WR | WAS
Commanders' Treylon Burks: Ends season with quiet game
Burks caught two of four targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Eagles.
Burks worked as Washington's No. 3 receiver throughout much of the second half of the season, ultimately catching just 10 of 22 targets for 130 yards and a touchdown in eight games. The 2022 first-round pick is scheduled for unrestricted free agency this offseason.

Sean McKeon TE | IND
Colts' Sean McKeon: Inks deal with Colts
The Colts signed McKeon to a reserve/future contract Monday.
McKeon was elevated to the Colts' active roster in Week 18, where he played seven snaps on offense and eight on special teams, but the 28-year-old did not generate any stats. McKeon will have the opportunity to participate in the Colts' offseason activities and attempt to earn a spot on their active roster next season.

Seth Henigan QB | IND
Colts' Seth Henigan: Earns deal with Colts
