Washington passed his concussion evaluation and has been cleared to return to Sunday's wild-card game against the Bills, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Washington headed to the locker room late in the first quarter to get checked for a concussion but looks like he'll be ready to take the field for the Jaguars' second possession of the second quarter.

Panthers coach Dave Canales confirmed that Ekwonu suffered a ruptured patellar tendon in his right knee during Saturday's 34-31 loss to the Rams in the wild-card round, Mike Kaye of the Charlotte Observer reports.

The typical recovery timeline for a ruptured patellar tendon is six to 12 months, leaving Ekwonu's status up in the air for the start of the 2026 campaign. The 2022 first-rounder has started 64 regular-season games in four years with Carolina, including 15 starts at left tackle in 2025. Ekwonu is set to enter next season on a one-year, $17.56 million contract after the Panthers exercised his fifth-year option last April.

The Texans added Mills to their injury report and list him as questionable for Monday's wild-card game against the Steelers due to a personal matter.

According to Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle, Mills wasn't part of the Texans' traveling party to Pittsburgh, but the quarterback is set to board a commercial flight and is expected to join the team in advance of its postseason opener. In the event Mills runs into travel issues that prevent him from being available Monday, the Texans would still have Graham Mertz as a third quarterback on the roster to step in as the top backup to starter C.J. Stroud.

Washington exited Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Bills in the first quarter and headed to the locker room to be evaluated for a concussion, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

Washington's status for the remainder of the game is uncertain while he gets checked for a head injury. Prior to leaving the contest, Washington carried once for minus-3 yards and didn't haul in either of his two targets.

Dallas (coach's decision) is a healthy inactive for Sunday's wild-card game against the Bills.

Dallas suited up for the Jaguars over the final three games of the regular season and had been a key contributor on special teams, but Jacksonville has opted to make him a healthy scratch for the playoff opener in order to prioritize depth at other positions. Between his stops with Carolina and Jacksonville during the regular season, Dallas played in six total games and carried twice for 21 yards while failing to haul in his lone target. He also brought back 12 kickoffs for 321 yards.

Brown (coach's decision) is a healthy inactive for Sunday's wild-card game against the Bills.

Jacksonville elevated Tim Patrick from the practice squad Saturday and will opt to go with him as their No. 5 receiver ahead of Brown, who is a healthy inactive for the first time since Week 13. After joining the Jaguars on a one-year, $10 million deal in March, Brown was a disappointment during the regular season, finishing with a 20-227-1 receiving line on 37 targets while adding 30 yards on six carries over 14 games.

Brooks finished the 2025 regular season with 27 carries for 106 yards and 13 catches (on 17 targets) for 91 yards across 17 games with the Packers.

With 2024 third-rounder MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) spending the entire season on injured reserve, Brooks stepped up as the Packers' third option out of the backfield behind Josh Jacobs and Emanuel Wilson. Brooks split his snaps fairly evenly across offense and special teams but took on more offensive responsibilities in Weeks 12 and 18 (both times against the Vikings) when Jacobs was sidelined, with the former accumulating 19 carries for 82 yards and one catch for five yards over those two games. Brooks enters the offseason as a restricted free agent and could be tendered by the Packers.

Wilson turned 125 carries into 496 yards and three touchdowns while adding 15 catches (on 17 targets) for 99 yards over 17 regular-season games (two starts) for the Packers in 2025. He also returned nine kickoffs for 233 yards.

For a second consecutive season, Wilson served as the Packers' No. 2 option behind Josh Jacobs. The former managed to draw two starts, the first of which took place in Week 12 against the Vikings, when he broke out for 107 yards and two touchdowns on 28 carries while hauling in both of his targets for 18 yards. Wilson saw double-digit carries in four regular-season games but only one carry (for three yards) during Green Bay's 31-27 NFC wild-card loss to Chicago on Saturday while playing 13 of 71 offensive snaps (18.3 percent). The Packers have the option to tender Wilson during the offseason, which would make the soon-to-be 26-year-old running back a restricted free agent.

Willis completed 30 of 35 passes (85.7 percent) for 422 yards and three touchdowns while logging 22 carries for 123 yards and two scores across four regular-season games (one start) for the Packers in 2025.

Willis was thrust into a starting role in Week 17 against the Ravens after Jordan Love suffered a concussion during the Packers' Week 16 overtime loss to the Bears. Willis ended up aggravating a right shoulder injury during the fourth quarter against Baltimore and was replaced by Clayton Tune, and that game ended up being the former's last appearance of the 2025 season. Willis was cast away by the Titans in August of 2024 in favor of Will Levis, but the former has played well in his two years as the Packers' backup behind Love. Willis enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent, and while his familiarity with the Packers' offense could sway him to stay in Green Bay, the 2022 third-rounder will have the opportunity to explore his options and sign with a team who can provide a clearer path to winning the starting quarterback job.

Van Lanen (knee) is inactive for Sunday's AFC wild-card game against the Bills, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Van Lanen injured his right knee during the Jaguars' Week 18 win over the Titans, just two days after inking a three-year, $51 million contract extension. The fifth-year offensive lineman earned himself the questionable tag for the wild-card round after logging a full practice Friday, but his knee injury was severe enough for him to not be cleared by medical staff to play Sunday. In Van Lanen's absence, Walker Little is expected to draw the start at left tackle, per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network.
