  • Nikola Kalinic TE | CHI

    Bears' Nikola Kalinic: Elevated from practice squad

    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.

  • Bills' Dorian Williams: Won't return vs. Broncos

    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.

  • Pat Bryant WR | DEN

    Broncos' Pat Bryant: Quickly ruled out with concussion

    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.

  • Jacob Cowing WR | SF

    49ers' Jacob Cowing: Ruled out vs. Seahawks

    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.

  • Pat Bryant WR | DEN

    Broncos' Pat Bryant: Possible concussion

    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.

  • Patriots' Terrell Jennings: Won't play vs. Texans

    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.

  • Patriots' D'Ernest Johnson: Elevated from practice squad

    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.

  • Elijah Moore WR | DEN

    Broncos' Elijah Moore: Not playing Saturday

    Moore (coach's decision) is inactive for Saturday's divisional-round matchup against the Bills, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

    Moore won't make his debut with the Broncos despite having been elevated off the practice squad Friday. Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant should continue to serve as the team's top wideouts during Saturday's game.

  • Sam Ehlinger QB | DEN

    Broncos' Sam Ehlinger: Serving as emergency QB

    Ehlinger (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Broncos' emergency third quarterback during Saturday's divisional-round matchup against the Bills, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

    Ehlinger will once again serve as the team's emergency quarterback after being signed to the active roster from the practice squad earlier this month. The 27-year-old will be able to enter the game only if both Bo Nix and Jarrett Stidham are forced to exit due to injury, illness or ejection.

  • Ed Oliver DT | BUF

    Bills' Ed Oliver: Good to go Saturday

    Oliver (biceps/knee) is active for Buffalo's divisional-round matchup versus the Broncos on Saturday, Alec White of the team's official site reports.

    Oliver is officially set to make his return to the field after having been activated off injured reserve Friday. The 28-year-old has been sidelined since tearing his biceps during the Week 8 win over the Panthers back in October and should resume his role as one of the team's starting defensive tackles against Denver.
