  • Packers' Chris Brooks: Leading rusher in loss

    Brooks carries the ball 13 times for 61 yards in Sunday's 16-3 loss to the Vikings.

    The No. 3 running back on the Green Bay depth chart saw his most extensive action of the season as the team rested Josh Jacobs (knee/ankle) ahead of the playoffs, and Brooks wound up leading the Packers in rushing yards despite seeing less volume than Emanuel Wilson. Brooks came into the game with just 14 carries for 45 yards on the season, so he's unlikely to make any kind of impact in the wild-card round.

  • Packers' Emanuel Wilson: Tough sledding against Vikings

    Wilson carried the ball 18 times for 44 yards and caught his only target for four yards in Sunday's 16-3 loss to Minnesota.

    The Packers rested key players ahead of the playoffs, including Josh Jacobs (knee/ankle), but Wilson wound up being outgained by Chris Brooks out of the backfield as the team deployed a ground-heavy attack. Wilson has seen no more than four carries in four of the last five games, so he isn't likely to have a big role in the wild-card round. The third-year RB wraps up the regular season with 496 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 125 carries.

  • Rams' Jordan Whittington: Leaves game due to knee injury

    Whittington (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

    Per Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register, Whittington came out of the blue medical tent with a brace on his right knee and was testing it out before eventually being taken to the locker room. Xavier Smith and Tutu Atwell would be in line for more snaps on offense if Whittington is unable to return, and in that scenario, Blake Corum would also serve as the Rams' primary returner on kickoffs.

  • Drake London WR | ATL

    Falcons' Drake London: Closes out season strong

    London secured four of eight targets for 78 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons' 19-17 win over the Saints on Sunday.

    Despite managing his ongoing knee issue, London set the pace for the Falcons in receiving yards on the afternoon while checking in second in both receptions and targets. The talented wideout added his seventh touchdown catch of the season on a 15-yard grab with just over three minutes remaining in the first quarter. London was on pace for a career-best season before his injury cost him four games, but he still wrapped up his fourth campaign with a 68-919-7 line across 12 contests while averaging a career-high 13.5 yards per reception.

  • Clayton Tune QB | GB

    Packers' Clayton Tune: Limited in regular-season finale

    Tune completed six of 11 passes for 34 yards without a touchdowns or an interception in Sunday's 16-3 loss to the Vikings. He added 23 rushing yards on four carries.

    With Jordan Love and Malik Willis (shoulder/hamstring) being held out ahead of the playoffs, Tune made his second career NFL start but wasn't called upon to do too much, as the Packers focused on their ground game. Tune, a fifth-round pick of the Cardinals in 2023, will likely return to the No. 3 spot on the depth chart in the wild-card round next weekend.

  • Donte Jackson CB | LAC

    Chargers' Donte Jackson: Exits game with ankle injury

    Jackson (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Broncos.

    Jackson had to be helped off the field after sustaining an ankle injury and couldn't put much weight on his leg, per Daniel Popper of The Athletic. Deane Leonard and Benjamin St-Juste are in line for more snaps in the secondary for as long as Jackson is out of the game.

  • Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence: Leads Jags to division crown

    Lawrence completed 22 of 30 passes for 255 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 41-7 win over the Titans. He added two rushes for 11 yards.

    Lawrence helped the Jaguars clinch the AFC South with minimal drama, leading three touchdown drives in the first half. He completed each with a throwing score, coming from 23, seven and five yards, respectively, before being pulled with around 11 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. While the Titans were a particularly soft matchup, Lawrence has finished the regular season in strong form while accounting for multiple touchdowns in seven consecutive games. He'll now turn his attention to the postseason, with the Jaguars guaranteed a top-three seed in the AFC.

  • Cardinals' Channing Tindall: Dealing with knee injury

    Tindall (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Rams, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    Tindall sustained the injury in the first quarter, and his status for the rest of the game is now in question. The linebacker operates primarily as a special-teams asset, so his absence doesn't carry any impact on defense for Arizona.

  • Saints' Audric Estime: Plays workhorse role in loss

    Estime rushed 21 times for 63 yards and brought in all five targets for 43 yards in the Saints' 19-17 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.

    With Alvin Kamara (knee) sidelined once again to close out the season, Estime easily paced the Saints' ground attack in carries and rushing yards for a second straight week. The second-year pro was much less efficient than during his 14-carry, 94-yard performance against the Titans in Week 17, but Estime helped make up for it with an impressive day as a pass catcher. Estime put some good play on tape over the last two games, and with Kamara's future uncertain, it's possible Estime enters the final year of his deal with New Orleans in position to compete for significant playing time in 2026.

  • Bijan Robinson RB | ATL

    Falcons' Bijan Robinson: Bottled up in season-ending win

    Robinson rushed 15 times for 33 yards and brought in all three targets for 10 yards in the Falcons' 19-17 win over the Saints on Sunday.

    Fresh off a memorable 195-yard effort on the ground against the Rams on Monday night, Robinson was stonewalled -- albeit while having a rushing touchdown called back due to an offensive holding penalty -- by a Saints defense that had frequently been vulnerable to the run over the course of the season. Robinson's yardage tally on the ground was his lowest since Week 8, but despite Sunday's downturn, the 2023 first-round pick finished the 2025 campaign with a career-high 1,478 rushing yards, seven rushing touchdowns and a career-best 79-820-4 receiving line while playing in all 17 games for the second consecutive season.
