  • Keion White DE | SF

    49ers' Keion White: Will play versus the Eagles

    White (groin/hamstring) is active for Sunday's wild-card game versus Philadelphia.

    White has dealt with groin and hamstring injuries during practice this week, but he increased his activity to participate in a limited fashion Friday. The 26-year-old has seen heavy playing time as a rotational pass rusher in 2025, tallying 12 tackles and 5.0 sacks across nine regular-season games with the 49ers.

  • 49ers' Renardo Green: Good to go for wild-card contest

    Green (ankle) is active for Sunday's wild-card matchup versus the Eagles.

    Green popped up with an ankle injury during practice Friday, but he'll suit up and retain his starting spot at cornerback. The 2024 second-rounder tallied 60 tackles and 10 passes defended over 14 regular-season appearances this year.

  • Dee Winters LB | SF

    49ers' Dee Winters: Won't play versus Philly

    Winters (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's wild-card contest versus the Eagles.

    Winters' status was up in the air after he sustained an ankle injury during the loss to Seattle in the regular-season finale. The 25-year-old will miss Sunday's contest along with San Francisco's other starting outside linebacker Luke Gifford (quadriceps), who was also injured during Week 18. In their absence, Curtis Robinson and Garret Wallow should start alongside middle linebacker Eric Kendricks.

  • Luke Gifford LB | SF

    49ers' Luke Gifford: Won't play in wild-card round

    Gifford (quadriceps) is inactive for Sunday's wild-card game versus the Eagles.

    Gifford suffered a quad injury during the Week 18 loss to Seattle. He and fellow starting outside linebacker Dee Winters (ankle) will now both be sidelined for Sunday's contest. In their absence, expect Curtis Robinson and Garret Wallow to both start alongside middle linebacker Eric Kendricks.

  • Sam Howell QB | PHI

    Eagles' Sam Howell: Serving as No. 3 QB again Sunday

    Howell (coach's decision) is inactive but will operate as the Eagles' emergency third quarterback for Sunday's wild-card matchup versus the 49ers.

    Howell will continue to serve as Philadelphia's emergency option, and he'll only be able to enter the game if both Jalen Hurts and Tanner McKee are forced out.

  • Lane Johnson OT | PHI

    Eagles' Lane Johnson: Remains out for wild card

    Johnson (foot) is listed as inactive for Sunday's wild-card matchup versus the 49ers.

    Johnson had been trending toward a return after missing seven straight games with a foot injury. The two-time All-Pro is a significant piece of the Eagles' rushing offense, so his absence could be pivotal for Sunday's contest. In Johnson's stead, Fred Johnson will continue to start at right tackle for Philadelphia, according to Zach Berman of The Athletic.

  • 49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Inactive versus Philadelphia

    Pearsall (knee/ankle) is inactive for Sunday's playoff game against the Eagles.

    Pearsall, who was also inactive in Week 18, was deemed a non-participant in practice Wednesday through Friday before being listed by the 49ers as questionable for the contest. In his continued absence, look for Demarcus Robinson and Kendrick Bourne to see added snaps Sunday alongside fellow WR Jauan Jennings, with Skyy Moore and Malik Turner also available to mix in.

  • Jordan Poyer FS | BUF

    Bills' Jordan Poyer: Won't return versus Jacksonville

    Poyer (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's wild-card game versus the Jaguars.

    Poyer has been a stalwart during his lengthy time spent in Buffalo, and he tallied 70 tackles and three passes defended over 10 regular-season appearances in 2025. If the Bills advance, it will be worth monitoring Poyer's availability for what will be a tough road challenge vs. the Broncos or Patriots.

  • Tyrell Shavers WR | BUF

    Bills' Tyrell Shavers: Returns versus Jacksonville

    Shavers (knee) was cleared to return to Sunday's wild-card game versus the Jaguars.

    Shavers will return after leaving the contest in the first half with one catch for 14 yards. Coming into the playoffs, the 26-year-old caught 15 passes (on 23 targets) for 245 yards and one touchdown over 17 regular-season appearances.

  • Jordan Poyer FS | BUF

    Bills' Jordan Poyer: Exits with injury Sunday

    Poyer is questionable to return to Sunday's wild-card matchup versus the Jaguars with a hamstring injury.

    Poyer recorded two tackles before exiting during the first half. The 34-year-old missed the final two games of the regular season with a hamstring issue, but he was not listed with an injury designation ahead of Sunday's wild-card game. With Poyer out for the time being, Cam Lewis and/or Sam Franklin will likely see increased playing time.
