  • Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Held in check in season finale

    Taylor carried the ball 14 times for 26 yards and caught both his targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 38-30 loss to the Texans.

    It was the least productive game of the season for Taylor, as his longest run went for only eight yards and rookie DJ Giddens wound up leading the Colts with 30 rushing yards. Taylor missed his chance to catch James Cook for the NFL rushing crown, but he still wraps up an impressive campaign with 1,585 rushing yards and a career-high 18 TDs on the ground, along with a 46-378-2 line on 55 targets through the air. The 26-year-old RB will head into 2026 as the centerpiece of the Indianapolis offense.

  • Shaun Dolac LB | LAR

    Rams' Shaun Dolac: Leaves game with knee injury

    Dolac (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

    Dolac has primarily served on special teams this season, but if he's not cleared to return Sunday, then Troy Reeder would be the lone depth option at inside linebacker behind starters Nate Landman and Omar Speights.

  • Riley Leonard QB | IND

    Colts' Riley Leonard: Produces three TDs in first start

    Leonard completed 21 of 34 passes for 270 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 38-30 loss to the Texans. He added 21 rushing yards and a TD on three carries but lost two fumbles.

    Despite the turnovers, it was a surprisingly productive performance from the sixth-round rookie in his first career NFL start against an elite Houston defense that still had something to play for when the game began. Both of Leonard's passing TDs went to Alec Pierce, and the QB's one-yard rushing score in the third quarter briefly gave Indy a 24-23 lead. The Colts' quarterback situation heading into 2026 remains murky with Daniel Jones (Achilles) a free agent and Anthony Richardson (eye) barely playing this season and getting little chance to further his development, but Leonard is unlikely to find himself at the top of the depth chart in Week 1.

  • Matt Prater K | BUF

    Bills' Matt Prater: Won't return Sunday

    Prater has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Jets due to a right quadriceps injury.

    Prater had missed the Bills' prior two games due to the same issue, which he appears to have been aggravated at some point during Sunday's game. Punter Mitch Wishnowsky will serve as the kicker on kickoffs, but the Bills will likely go for two-point conversions after touchdowns with Prater done for the day. It's bad news for the Bills, as Tyler Bass (hip - IR) is on the shelf for the rest of the season, and Prater is now in jeopardy of being sidelined for the wild-card round of the AFC playoffs. Buffalo does not currently have a kicker on the practice squad.

  • Raiders' Isaiah Pola-Mao: Done for day

    Pola-Mao (shoulder) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's contest against the Chiefs.

    Pola-Mao suffered a shoulder injury late in the second quarter, and his day has now officially come to a premature end. In his absence, Tristin McCollum is the top candidate to handle the lion's share of the workload at free safety versus Kansas City.

  • Chargers' KeAndre Lambert-Smith: Tweaks hamstring, iffy to return

    Lambert-Smith (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Broncos.

    Lambert-Smith appeared to sustain the injury late in the second quarter after hauling in an 18-yard pass from Trey Lance. Derius Davis would serve as the primary returner on kickoffs and see more snaps on offense if Lambert-Smith is unable to return.

  • Bud Dupree OLB | LAC

    Chargers' Bud Dupree: Leaves game with hamstring injury

    Dupree (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Broncos.

    Dupree was getting more snaps on defense in the absence of Tuli Tuipulotu (coach's decision), but the former is now being evaluated by medical staff for a hamstring injury. Odafe Oweh and Kyle Kennard are slated to see more work on defense if Dupree is unable to return.

  • Eagles' Brandon Johnson: Leaves game with ankle injury

    Johnson (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Commanders.

    Johnson has been limited to special teams work this season but was getting some reps on defense Sunday due to the Eagles resting key starters ahead of the NFC playoffs. Mac McWilliams will see more snaps at the slot for as long as Johnson is out of the game, while Michael Carter moves to safety.

  • Garett Bolles OT | DEN

    Broncos' Garett Bolles: Back in action

    Bolles (ankle) has returned to action Sunday versus the Chargers, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Bolles was briefly sidelined with an ankle injury, but he has now made his way back out onto the field. The 33-year-old is back in his starting role at left tackle against Los Angeles.

  • Will Johnson CB | ARI

    Cardinals' Will Johnson: Won't return due to knee injury

    Johnson (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Rams, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    With Johnson done for the day, Elijah Jones is in line to see more snaps at outside cornerback opposite Denzel Burke. Johnson did not record a tackle prior to his exit.
