Charles Cross OT | SEA
Seahawks' Charles Cross: Limited again
Cross (foot) was a limited participant in practice for the second day in a row Thursday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
The starting left tackle suffered the foot injury during Seattle's divisional-round win over San Francisco but still played in the NFC Championship Game victory over the Rams. His participation in practice, even on a limited basis, should serve as a good sign ahead of the Super Bowl. If Cross can't go, Josh Jones (ankle/knee) should be next in line to replace him, but Jones was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, though he returned to full participation Thursday.

Nick Emmanwori SAF | SEA
Seahawks' Nick Emmanwori: Sits out of practice Thursday
Emmanwori (ankle) did not participate in practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
The slot corner rolled his ankle near the end of Wednesday's practice and was listed as limited for the session. A day later, Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald said that Emmanwori had a low-ankle sprain and that Seattle would be cautious with his health, per Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. The coach also said the team fully expects the rookie to play in the Super Bowl, and Emmanwori himself said he'll be "good to go for Sunday," per Boyle.

Harold Landry LB | NE
Patriots' Harold Landry: Sits out again
Landry (knee) did not participate in practice Thursday.
The outside linebacker aggravated the knee injury during New England's divisional-round win over Houston, missed the AFC Championship Game victory over Denver and didn't practice at all last week. Landry did manage to return to the practice field on a limited basis Wednesday. At this point, it's an open question whether he'll play in Sunday's Super Bowl, and if he can't go, Anfernee Jennings and Elijah Ponder should be next in line to take the field.

Sam Darnold QB | SEA
Seahawks' Sam Darnold: Logs full practice Thursday
Darnold (oblique) was a full practice participant Thursday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
This marks Darnold's first uncapped session since he injured his left oblique in advance of the Seahawks' divisional-round game against the 49ers. He's still suited up for both of Seattle's playoff contests, completing 37 of 53 passes for 470 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions. Following Thursday's development, Darnold is in line to continue to lead the team's offense Sunday versus the Patriots in Super Bowl LX.

Robert Spillane LB | NE
Patriots' Robert Spillane: Back at practice
Spillane (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
The inside linebacker and New England's leading tackler during the regular season suffered the injury during the AFC Championship Game, had to leave that game early and hadn't practiced since then before Thursday. Spillane did say even before Thursday that he was confident he'd be good to go for the Super Bowl, and his return to practice shows that he is trending in the right direction. The former Raider recorded six stops in each of New England's first two playoff victories, games in which he played most of the snaps.

Kyle Hamilton SAF | BAL
Ravens' Kyle Hamilton: Past head injury
Hamilton (concussion) intercepted a pass during Tuesday's Pro Bowl flag football game.
The All-Pro safety suffered a concussion during Baltimore's Week 18 loss to Pittsburgh and had to exit in the second half. His participation in the Pro Bowl Games suggests he's past the issue. That's good for the Ravens, who committed to their 2022 first-round pick, who has made an All-Pro team after each of the last three seasons, with a four-year, $100.4 million extension last August.

De'Von Achane RB | MIA
Dolphins' De'Von Achane: Participates in Pro Bowl Games
Achane (shoulder) gathered in all four targets during Tuesday's Pro Bowl flag football game.
Achane didn't play Week 18 at New England due to a shoulder injury, but before his only absence of the 2025 regular season, he netted a career-high 1,838 yards from scrimmage (sixth in the NFL) and 12 total TDs (12th) on 305 touches (ninth) in 16 contests. With top WR Tyreek Hill sidelined following the gruesome knee injury he suffered in Week 4, Achane served as the centerpiece of the Dolphins offense. Miami has moved on from Mike McDaniel to Jeff Hafley as the team's head coach, but the latter likely will continue to lean on Achane as the running back enters the final year of his rookie contract in 2026.

Tom Kennedy WR | DET
Lions' Tom Kennedy: Makes impact late in 2025
Kennedy recorded four receptions for 36 yards across six regular-season games with the Lions in 2025. He also recorded 447 yards on 16 kick returns and 50 yards on three punt returns.
Kennedy didn't make the Lions' roster out of training camp, but he did manage to secure a spot on the practice squad. He appeared in the team's final six games due to injuries to the rest of the team's receiving corps, with all of his offensive production coming Week 13. He also served as the primary kick returner for Detroit down the stretch, averaging 27.9 yards on his 16 returns. Kennedy is a restricted free agent this offseason, meaning he can easily be retained by the Lions if they choose to tender him.

Savion Williams WR | GB
Packers' Savion Williams: Not much action in 2025
Williams (foot) finished the 2025 regular season with 10 catches (on 10 targets) for 78 yards and a touchdown and added 11 carries for 37 yards in 12 games.
The wide receiver did also record 717 yards as a kickoff returner. It should be noted that a foot injury forced Williams out for five of the Packers' last six regular-season games, as well as the team's playoff loss to the Bears. At the same time, the 2025 third-round pick's highest offensive snap count in a game prior to the injury was 19 in Week 9 against Carolina.

Kyle Allen QB | DET
Lions' Kyle Allen: Minimal action in 2025
Allen didn't complete either of his two pass attempts while appearing in three regular-season games with the Lions in 2025. He also had three rush attempts for minus-3 yards.
Allen won the backup quarterback job in Detroit during training camp and retained the role throughout the regular season. However, he played only 16 offensive snaps because Jared Goff remained healthy. Allen is set to hit free agency this offseason, and he'll likely compete for a backup role somewhere once again.
