The Patriots activated Austin (wrist) off injured reserve Saturday.

Austin has been sidelined since the team's Week 12 win over the Bengals but will seemingly make his return during Sunday's divisional-round matchup versus the Texans. The 24-year-old should resume his role as a special teamer and depth defender against Houston.

McGovern (head) is questionable to return to Buffalo's divisional-round matchup versus the Broncos on Saturday.

McGovern is being evaluated in the locker room for a head injury after exiting the game in the first half. Alec Anderson should take over as the team's center if McGovern ends up being unable to return.

The Seahawks elevated Jones from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of their divisional-round matchup versus the 49ers, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Jones was elevated three times during the regular season and carried the ball four times for 32 yards while seeing playing time on both offense and special teams. The 28-year-old could serve as the team's No. 3 running back behind Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet during Saturday's game.

The Bears elevated Kalinic from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's divisional-round matchup versus the Rams.

Kalinic could provide extra depth at tight end should he end up being active for the game. The 28-year-old appeared in two games for Chicago during the regular season but didn't record any counting stats while playing exclusively on special teams.

Williams (neck) has been ruled out for the remainder of Buffalo's divisional-round matchup versus the Broncos on Saturday.

Williams is done for the day after suffering a neck injury while making a tackle on the opening kickoff. In his absence, Baylon Spector could be in line for increased playing time during the remainder of the matchup.

Bryant has entered the league's concussion protocol and has been ruled out for the rest of Saturday's AFC divisional-round game against the Bills, Luca Evans of The Denver Post reports.

Bryant took a hit to the head during the Broncos' opening drive and was taken to the locker room, where he has been diagnosed with a concussion by the medical staff. Troy Franklin, Marvin Mims and Lil'Jordan Humphrey will step into larger roles on offense alongside Courtland Sutton in Bryant's absence. Bryant will end the day with three catches (on as many targets) for 32 yards.

Cowing (hamstring) has been ruled out for San Francisco's divisional-round matchup versus the Seahawks on Saturday.

Cowing will not be activated off injured reserve and will now be forced to miss another game. The 2024 fourth-round pick has been sidelined for the entirety of the season with a hamstring injury but will look to make his return next week, should the 49ers advance to the NFC Championship Game.

Bryant is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Saturday's AFC divisional-round game against the Bills, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Bryant was busy on the Broncos' opening drive with three catches (on as many targets) for 32 yards. However, he was shaken up on his third reception, and he has gone to the locker room to undergo further tests. Marvin Mims and Lil'Jordan Humphrey should see more snaps on offense for as long as Bryant is out of the game.

Jennings (concussion) has been ruled out for New England's divisional-round matchup versus the Texans on Sunday, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.

Jennings managed to return to practice earlier in the week but will nonetheless remain on injured reserve for at least one more game. The 24-year-old has been sidelined since Week 15 and will look to make his return during the AFC Championship Game next week, should the Patriots defeat Houston.

The Patriots elevated Johnson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's divisional-round matchup versus the Texans, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.

Johnson rejoined New England's practice squad earlier in the week after rushing for 25 yards on 13 carries across seven games with the team earlier in the season. The 29-year-old could serve as the team's No. 3 running back, as Terrell Jennings has been ruled out with a concussion.
