Moore (coach's decision) is inactive for Saturday's divisional-round matchup against the Bills, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

Moore won't make his debut with the Broncos despite having been elevated off the practice squad Friday. Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant should continue to serve as the team's top wideouts during Saturday's game.

Ehlinger (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Broncos' emergency third quarterback during Saturday's divisional-round matchup against the Bills, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

Ehlinger will once again serve as the team's emergency quarterback after being signed to the active roster from the practice squad earlier this month. The 27-year-old will be able to enter the game only if both Bo Nix and Jarrett Stidham are forced to exit due to injury, illness or ejection.

Oliver (biceps/knee) is active for Buffalo's divisional-round matchup versus the Broncos on Saturday, Alec White of the team's official site reports.

Oliver is officially set to make his return to the field after having been activated off injured reserve Friday. The 28-year-old has been sidelined since tearing his biceps during the Week 8 win over the Panthers back in October and should resume his role as one of the team's starting defensive tackles against Denver.

Samuel (elbow) is active for Saturday's divisional-round game at Denver, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.

Samuel thus will be available to Buffalo's offense for the first time since Week 11 after a lengthy IR stint, and the timing of his activation couldn't have come at a better time after all of Joshua Palmer (ankle), Tyrell Shavers (knee) and Gabe Davis (knee) landed on injured reserve in the past week. Along with Khalil Shakir, Brandin Cooks, Keon Coleman and Mecole Hardman, Samuel will be one of the options at wide receiver available to QB Josh Allen, but he mustered only a 7-81-1 line on nine targets in six appearances earlier this season.

Bernard (calf) is inactive for Buffalo's divisional-round matchup versus the Broncos on Saturday, Alec White of the team's official site reports.

Bernard managed to be a limited participant in practice throughout the week but will nonetheless be sidelined for a third consecutive game. In his absence, Dorian Williams and Joe Andreessen could see increased playing time, while Bernard will look to return next week during the AFC Championship Game should the Bills defeat Denver.

Johnson (ankle) is listed as inactive Saturday at Denver, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.

Johnson suffered an ankle injury Week 18 against the Jets that now has sidelined him for both of Buffalo's first two playoff contests. With Johnson out again, Ray Davis and Frank Gore will be the backfield options behind starter James Cook.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that Rodgers is unlikely to return to the Steelers for 2026 after Mike Tomlin stepped down as head coach Monday.

Rodgers signed a one-year contract with the Steelers in part due to a desire of wanting to play for Tomlin. Even if Tomlin had been willing to return for 2026, Rodgers has been contemplating his retirement from the NFL, and Monday's wild-card loss to the Texans may have been the veteran quarterback's last game in the league, per Brooke Pryor and Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. Rodgers finished the 2025 regular season having completed 65.7 percent of his passes for 3,322 yards, 24 touchdowns and seven interceptions while rushing for 61 yards and a score on 21 carries across 16 games.

The Seahawks expect that Sam Darnold (oblique) will start in Saturday's NFC divisional-round tilt against the 49ers, but Lock has been taking reps with the first-team offense the last two days and would be ready to play if the former were to be sidelined, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Darnold has not thrown a football since undergoing treatment for an oblique injury during Thursday's practice. Head coach Mike Macdonald expressed optimism Friday that Darnold would be available for Saturday's game, per Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. That said, Lock -- who has not started in a game since Week 18 of the 2024 season as a member of the Giants -- would take the helm if Darnold were to be ruled out or injured during the contest.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Darnold hasn't thrown a football since sustaining an oblique injury Thursday, but the Seahawks believe that the veteran quarterback will be cleared to start in Saturday's NFC divisional-round game against the 49ers.

Darnold underwent treatment on his oblique injury after exiting Thursday's practice early, and head coach Mike Macdonald expressed optimism that the former would be ready for Saturday's playoff tilt, per Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. Drew Lock has taken the first-team reps over the past two days and would run the Seahawks' offense in the event that Darnold were to be ruled out or be taken out of Saturday's game. Rookie third-rounder Jalen Milroe -- who hasn't played since Week 5 against the Buccaneers -- is on standby as the QB3 behind Darnold and Lock.

Murphy (knee) visited the Steelers on Friday, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

The 25-year-old spent the vast majority of the 2025 season on the Vikings' practice squad after he injured his knee in Week 2 against Atlanta. Minnesota cut Murphy earlier this week. He's appeared in three career regular-season games.
