Davis caught five passes (on seven targets) for 41 yards and a touchdown during the Bills' 35-8 win over the Jets on Sunday.

The Bills rested or limited the snap counts of their top skill position players during Sunday's regular-season finale. That gave Davis an expanded role in the offense, and the sixth-year pro led all Bills pass catchers in snaps, targets and receptions, and he capped off his night with a two-yard touchdown pass from Mitchell Trubisky midway through the third quarter. Davis joined the Bills in late November and logged 12 catches (on 18 targets) for 129 yards and one score across six regular-season games. He served more as a run blocker in the Bills' offense, but his chemistry with Josh Allen could lead to Davis taking on more responsibilities during this Sunday's AFC wild-card game against the Jaguars.

Palmer caught one pass on three targets for one yard during the Bills' 35-8 win over the Jets on Sunday.

Palmer played a season-high 63 snaps on offense during Sunday's win, but he had just one catch to show for it. The 2025 season looked promising for the fifth-year wideout after he posted five catches on nine targets for 61 yards during the Bills' Week 1 win over the Ravens, but those numbers ended up being season highs for Palmer. The Bills hit the road for a wild-card game against the Jaguars this Sunday, and Palmer figures to be just a depth option in the passing game.

Shakir did not handle any snaps during Sunday's 35-8 win over the Jets.

Shakir dressed for Week 18 but did not take the field as the Bills focused on keeping key players fresh for the playoffs. Across 16 regular-season appearances in 2025, Shakir secured 72 of 95 targets for 719 yards and four touchdowns, while also rushing once for five yards and compiling 124 yards as a punt returner. Shakir will resume operating as the No. 1 wideout for Buffalo beginning with Sunday's wild-card matchup against Jacksonville.

Trubisky completed 22 of 29 passes for 259 yards and four touchdowns during Sunday's 35-8 win over the Jets. He also rushed five times for five yards.

He took over after Josh Allen was under center for the first snap to keep his streak of 135 consecutive starts intact. Trubisky led Buffalo's offense effortlessly against an outmatched New York defense, turning in one of the best statistical performances of his nine-year NFL career. He'll revert to a backup role beginning with Sunday's wild-card round matchup against the Jaguars. Trubisky concludes the regular season having completed 25 of 35 pass attempts for 313 yards and four touchdowns, while rushing nine times for six yards, over four appearances.

Bullard (knee) was listed as a limited participant during Tuesday's walkthrough practice, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Bullard suffered a knee injury during Green Bay's loss to the Vikings in Week 18, making his status uncertain for Saturday's wild-card round matchup on the road against Chicago. He'll have two more chances to prove himself capable of handling full practice reps prior to Saturday's game.

McCloud (illness) was a full participant in Tuesday's walkthrough.

McCloud missed Chicago's final two games of the regular season due to an illness, but it looks like he's fully on track to return for Saturday's wild-card round matchup against the Packers. Expect McCloud to handle a rotational role on defense as the primary backup at slot cornerback behind C.J. Gardner-Johnson (concussion).

Wicks (concussion) was estimated as a limited participant for Tuesday's walkthrough practice, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Wicks suffered a concussion in the Packers' Week 17 loss to Baltimore and was inactive for Sunday's 16-3 loss to the Vikings in the regular-season finale. Prior to Tuesday's session, head coach Matt LaFleur told Ryan Wood of USA Today that Wicks remains in concussion protocol, but the wideout's ability to practice in some fashion represents progress. Wicks will have two more chances to upgrade to full activity as he aims to clear the five-step protocol ahead of Saturday's wild-card game against the Bears.

Butker went 4-for-4 on field-goal attempts during Sunday's 14-12 loss against the Raiders.

Butker boasted a healthy 87 percent conversion rate (33-for-38) on field goals in 2025, continuing a stretch of converting 84-plus percent in every season but one since joining the NFL back in 2017. He did struggle a bit more than usual on extra-point attempts, knocking home 31 of his 35 tries, but he was solid overall once again. Despite some issues offensively for the Chiefs this season, Butker's field-goal attempts matched the second-most of his career in 2019, likely due to the fact that there were just 35 extra-point attempts with fewer touchdowns scored. Butker remains under contract with the Chiefs for two more seasons and seems likely to retain his duties as Kansas City's placekicker in 2026.

The Eagles placed Johnson (ankle) on the practice squad injured list Tuesday.

Johnson suffered an ankle issue during Philadelphia's regular-season finale against Washington in Week 18. His placement on the practice squad/injured list rules him out for the remainder of the 2025 campaign. Across three regular-season appearances in 2025, Johnson made three tackles (one solo) and logged one pass defensed.

Moore was listed as a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough practice due to a knee injury.

The knee issue is a new concern for Moore, whose most recent appearance on a Bears injury report came back in Week 17, when he was battling an illness. After putting in a limited session Tuesday, Moore will have two more chances at practice to clear up any concern about his availability for Saturday's wild-card game versus the Packers. Moore suited up for all 17 of the Bears' games during the regular season, accounting for seven total touchdowns (six receiving, one rushing) while producing 682 yards on 50 catches and 79 yards on 15 rushing attempts.
