Kirk is poised for a bigger role in the Texans' passing game Sunday at New England after No. 1 WR Nico Collins (concussion) was ruled out for the divisional-round contest.

Kirk was well on his way to a notable performance when Collins exited Monday's wild-card win in Pittsburgh due to a concussion in the third quarter. Having said that, Kirk was QB C.J. Stroud's favorite target for much of the game, with the wide receiver finishing with eight catches (on nine targets) for 144 yards and one touchdown on a 56 percent snap share. The playing time more or less was in line with his range from the regular season, but Kirk now will be vying with only Jayden Higgins, Xavier Hutchinson and Jaylin Noel and potentially Braxton Berrios for the attention of Stroud this weekend.

Johnson (illness) is questionable for Sunday night's divisional-round game against the Bears, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Johnson popped up as DNP on Friday, leaving his status in question for Sunday night. Johnson logged 28 percent of the defensive snaps in last Saturday's wild-card win over the Panthers, recording one solo tackle. Tyler Davis would be in line for more snaps if Johnson is unable to play Sunday.

Dotson (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday night's divisional-round game against the Bears, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Coach Sean McVay stated Friday that Dotson will resume his starting duties at right guard for Los Angeles after he missed the final two games of the regular season and last Saturday's wild-card win over Carolina.

The Broncos elevated Lohner from the practice squad Friday.

Lohner has spent the entire 2025 season on the Broncos' practice squad but will get a chance to play Saturday against the Bills if he's active behind Evan Engram, Adam Trautman and Nate Adkins.

The Broncos elevated Moore from the practice squad Friday.

Perhaps not so coincidentally, Moore was cut by the Bills in November and will now join Denver's gameday roster for Saturday's divisional-round matchup against Buffalo. The 25-year-old appeared in nine games for the Bills during the regular season, securing nine of 17 targets for 112 scoreless yards. Moore is unlikely to have a prominent offensive role with all of Denver's wideouts healthy.

Hamlin (pectoral) wasn't activated from injured reserve Friday, ruling him out for Saturday's divisional-round game against the Broncos.

Hamlin was designated for return from injured reserve nine days ago and logged a trio of full practices this week. However, it wasn't enough for the Bills to activate him ahead of Saturday's playoff contest. With Jordan Poyer (hamstring) ruled out against Denver, the Bills will be down to Cole Bishop, Sam Franklin, Jordan Hancock, Cam Lewis and Darnell Savage as options at safety.

The Bills activated Oliver (biceps/knee) from injured reserve Friday.

Oliver suffered a torn biceps in October and then underwent a cleanup procedure on his knee last month. He's listed as questionable for Saturday's divisional-round tilt with the Broncos. Oliver's return would be a massive boost to a Buffalo defense that has been gashed by opposing running backs seemingly all season.

Buffalo elevated Gore from the practice squad Friday.

With Ty Johnson's (ankle) status in question for Saturday's divisional-round game against the Broncos, Gore will again have a chance to play behind James Cook and Ray Davis. Gore made his non-exhibition NFL debut last Sunday against the Jaguars, catching his lone target for six yards while playing four offensive snaps.

Buffalo activated Samuel (elbow) from injured reserve Friday.

Samuel remains listed as questionable for Saturday's divisional-round game against the Broncos, but his activation would seem to indicate Samuel will be ready to play. With Joshua Palmer (ankle) placed on injured reserve last week and both Gabe Davis (knee) and Tyrell Shavers (knee) lost to season-ending injuries last Sunday against the Jaguars, Samuel's return will be big news for the Bills. If cleared to play, Samuel will slide into the wideout mix alongside Khalil Shakir, Brandin Cooks and Keon Coleman.

Jennings (concussion) is questionable for Sunday's divisional-round game against Houston.

Jennings remains on injured reserve after having his practice window opened Wednesday. With Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson healthy, Jennings probably won't have a meaningful offensive role even if he is activated Saturday.
