  • Chargers' Omarion Hampton: Expected to be involved in practice

    Offensive coordinator Greg Roman said that Hampton (ankle) will be "involved some" in practice Thursday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    The Chargers' upcoming injury report will reveal the official participation level of Hampton, who didn't practice Wednesday. As for the running back's status for Sunday's playoff opener against the Patriots, Roman noted, "We're going to wait and see on that. He's working through his process with the medical group. He's engaged. He's ready mentally with the game plan."

  • Ozzy Trapilo OT | CHI

    Bears' Ozzy Trapilo: Ready to face Packers

    Trapilo (quadriceps) practiced in full Thursday and does not carry an injury designation for Saturday's wild-card game against Green Bay.

    Trapilo missed Week 18 and was limited in practice Tuesday and Wednesday, but he's back to full health in time for Chicago's playoff opener. He's on track to draw his usual start at left tackle versus the Packers on Saturday.

  • Kaevon Merriweather: Placed on practice-squad IL

    Merriweather (knee) was placed on the Texans' practice-squad injured list Thursday.

    Merriweather won't be available to play in the postseason due to the knee injury he sustained in Houston's regular-season finale. The Texans signed fellow safety K'Von Wallace to the practice squad in a corresponding move.

  • Hunter Renfrow WR | CAR

    Hunter Renfrow: Minimal output in 2025

    Renfrow caught 15 of 26 targets for 89 yards and two touchdowns across six regular-season games for the Panthers in 2025.

    The 30-year-old wideout joined the Panthers on a one-year deal in late August after taking a break from football in 2024. Renfrow appeared poised to play a significant role early in the season, catching nine of 15 targets for 59 yards and two touchdowns over Carolina's first two games. However, he became a healthy scratch for each game following the Week 6 win over the Cowboys, as Jalen Coker returned from injury and rookie Jimmy Horn emerged as a key depth option. Renfrow was dropped by the Panthers in early January and will not be a part of the team's playoff campaign. If he finds work elsewhere for the 2026 NFL season, he'll likely remain in a reserve role.

  • Braxton Jones OT | CHI

    Bears' Braxton Jones: Officially questionable

    Jones (knee), who remains on IR, practiced in full Thursday and is officially listed as questionable for Saturday's wild-card matchup against the Packers.

    Jones appears on track to retake the field Saturday and provide depth at offensive tackle, but the Bears will first need to submit a transaction activating him from IR to the 53-man roster. Meanwhile, starting left tackle Ozzy Trapilo upgraded to full practice reps Thursday and does not carry an injury designation for Saturday's game.

  • Bears' Joe Tryon-Shoyinka: Ruled out for wild-card round game

    Tryon-Shoyinka (concussion) is ruled out for Saturday's wild-card matchup against the Packers.

    Tryon-Shoyinka will miss a second consecutive game due to a concussion, and he has yet to resume practicing in any capacity. The depth linebacker will need to fully clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in order to be eligible to retake the field for the Bears, should the team advance further in the NFC playoffs.

  • Denico Autry DT | HOU

    Texans' Denico Autry: Absent from practice Thursday

    Autry (knee) didn't practice Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Autry's practice participation was impacted by a knee injury throughout the regular season, but he played in every game after making his season debut in Week 6. Based on that context, he will likely be available for Monday's wild-card round road game against the Steelers, though a return to practice Friday or Saturday would help assuage any concerns about the rotational pass rusher's availability.

  • Bears' Amen Ogbongbemiga: Ruled out to face Packers

    Ogbongbemiga (concussion) is ruled out for Saturday's wild-card matchup against Green Bay.

    Ogbongbemiga was not listed on Chicago's injury report Tuesday, but he was added as a non-participant Wednesday and Thursday and appears to now be in the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. In order to be eligible for the Bears' next contest should the team advance further in the NFC playoffs, Ogbongbemiga will first need to fully clear the concussion protocol.

  • Jawhar Jordan RB | HOU

    Texans' Jawhar Jordan: Skips practice with high-ankle sprain

    Jordan didn't participate in Thursday's practice due to a high-ankle sprain, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Though Houston has a longer turnaround for its playoff opener with a Monday matchup versus the Steelers, Jordan was a spectator to begin the week of prep after he was forced out of this past Sunday's regular-season finale against the Colts due to the injury. Before getting hurt, Jordan appeared to have overtaken Nick Chubb as the preferred backup option at running back behind Woody Marks, but the second-year player out of Louisville now looks like he could be at risk of being sidelined for the wild-card round. Jordan will have two more chances to potentially practice this week before the Texans decide whether he'll take a designation into Monday's game.

  • Travis Jones DT | BAL

    Ravens' Travis Jones: Career year in 2025

    Jones tallied 47 total tackles (20 solo), including 5.0 sacks, two passes defensed and one forced fumble across 16 regular-season games in 2025.

    The fourth-year pro from UConn started all 16 games in which he appeared and amassed a career-high 738 defensive snaps this season. The increased workload translated to production, as Jones set new personal bests in total tackles, sacks and forced fumbles in 2025. Following his three-year, $40.5 million extension in early December, Jones is expected to remain one of Baltimore's top defensive linemen for years to come.
