A.J. Epenesa DE | BUF
Bills' A.J. Epenesa: Past neck issue
Epenesa (neck) has no injury designation ahead of Saturday's divisional-round matchup against the Broncos.
The 27-year-old from Iowa practiced in a limited fashion throughout the week, but it now appears he's moved past his neck injury in time to play Saturday. Epenesa operated as one of Buffalo's top defensive ends during the regular season, recording 32 total tackles, including 2.5 sacks, and four passes defensed, with two interceptions, over 16 appearances. Back at full health, he's expected to play behind Joey Bosa and Greg Rousseau during the divisional-matchup in Denver.

Dalton Kincaid TE | BUF
Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Set to play Saturday
Kincaid (knee/calf) doesn't carry an injury designation for Saturday's divisional-round game against the Broncos.
Kincaid was listed as limited on Bills practice reports Tuesday through Thursday, but he'll be available this weekend, nonetheless. With WRs Joshua Palmer (ankle), Tyrell Shavers (knee) and Gabe Davis (knee) all on IR, Kincaid figures to be busy versus Denver in the absence of any in-game setbacks. During Buffalo's wild-card win over the Jaguars this past Sunday, Kincaid logged five targets (tied for second on the team) en route to catching three passes for 28 yards and a TD.

Shaq Green-Thompson OLB | BUF
Bills' Shaq Thompson: Ready for Saturday
Thompson (neck) has no injury designation ahead of Saturday's divisional-round matchup against the Broncos.
Despite practicing in a limited fashion Wednesday and Thursday due to a neck injury, Thompson will suit up for Saturday's playoff contest. The 31-year-old delivered a huge performance in the Bills' wild-card win over the Jaguars, recording eight total tackles and an interception. Now fully healthy, Thompson is expected to remain one of Buffalo's top linebackers during the divisional round.

Odafe Oweh LB | LAC
Chargers' Odafe Oweh: Notches 7.5 sacks in 2025
Oweh tallied 38 total tackles (20 solo), including 7.5 sacks, across 17 regular-season games in 2025.
After posting just 10 total tackles and no sacks across his first five games this season, Oweh was dealt from the Ravens to the Chargers in early October. The 2021 first-round pick from Penn State found life in Los Angeles, recording 4.0 sacks in his first four games with the team. The 27-year-old also delivered a huge performance during the Chargers' wild-card loss to the Patriots, sacking Drake Maye three times while forcing two fumbles. Oweh has now compiled 17.5 sacks over the past two regular seasons and is set to hit unrestricted free agency, where he's expected to command a decent contract and step into another starting role in 2026.

Josh Allen QB | BUF
Bills' Josh Allen: Cleared to play Saturday
Allen (foot/knee/right finger) doesn't carry an injury designation for Saturday's divisional-round game against the Broncos.
Following the Bills' wild-card win over the Jaguars, the QB has been managing a trio of injuries, but after being listed as a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough, Allen logged back-to-back full sessions, paving the way for him to start Saturday's contest. In the process, he'll be working with a banged-up wideout corps that will be minus Joshua Palmer (ankle), Tyrell Shavers (knee) and Gabe Davis (knee), who all are on IR. In that context, WRs Khalil Shakir and Brandin Cooks and TEs Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox figure to be Allen's top targets, with WRs Keon Coleman and Curtis Samuel (elbow, questionable) also candidates to contribute this weekend.

Tarheeb Still CB | LAC
Chargers' Tarheeb Still: Production dips in 2025
Still posted 53 total tackles (37 solo) and seven passes defensed over 15 regular-season games in 2025.
Still, a 2024 fifth-round pick from Maryland, saw declines in several statistical categories during his sophomore season, recording fewer total tackles (62 to 53), sacks (0.5 to none), passes defensed (10 to seven) and interceptions (four to zero) than he did during his rookie campaign, despite playing 29 more defensive snaps in 2025. Even so, he was still a crucial part of the Chargers' secondary, finishing tied for the third-most passes defensed on the team. Heading into his third NFL season, Still is expected to remain Los Angeles' top slot corner.

Tony Jefferson SS | LAC
Chargers' Tony Jefferson: Nabs four picks in 2025
Jefferson recorded 57 total tackles (37 solo) and seven passes defensed, including four interceptions, across 13 regular-season games in 2025.
The 33-year-old hadn't been a regular member of a first-team defense since the 2019 season, but he started eight of the 13 regular-season games in which he appeared this year. Jefferson posted career highs in passes defensed and interceptions while also recording his most tackles since the 2018 campaign with the Ravens. Having signed a one-year deal with the Chargers last offseason, Jefferson is set to become a free agent and will likely find work with a team in need of secondary depth ahead of the 2026 season.

Justin Eboigbe DT | LAC
Chargers' Justin Eboigbe: Breaks out in second season
Eboigbe tallied 39 total tackles (27 solo), including 6.0 sacks, across 17 regular-season games in 2025.
Eboigbe, a 2024 fourth-round pick from Alabama, played in just five regular-season games and logged 24 defensive snaps during his rookie campaign. However, he emerged as one of the Chargers' top defenders in his second NFL season, ranking third on the team in sacks and tackles for loss. Under contract through the 2027 season, Eboigbe is expected to remain one of Los Angeles' top interior defensive linemen in 2026.

Tucker Fisk TE | LAC
Chargers' Tucker Fisk: Plays depth role for Bolts
Fisk caught two of four targets for 19 yards across 10 regular-season games in 2025.
After catching just two passes across 10 regular-season appearances, Fisk tallied 12 receiving yards on three receptions during the Chargers' wild-card loss to the Patriots. The 26-year-old from Stanford was primarily used as a blocker in his third NFL season, logging a career-high 231 offensive snaps. Having signed a one-year deal with the Chargers last offseason, Fisk is set to become a free agent and will likely play another reserve role in 2026.

Tyler Conklin TE | LAC
Chargers' Tyler Conklin: Minimal offensive work in 2025
Conklin caught seven of 10 targets for 101 yards and rushed once for two yards across 13 regular-season games in 2025.
The 30-year-old from Central Michigan was a healthy scratch in five of the Chargers' final six games this season, including the wild-card loss to the Patriots, as he slid down the depth chart following the emergence of rookie Oronde Gadsden. Conklin posted his lowest receiving yardage total since 2019 but still averaged 14.4 yards per reception, the second-highest mark of his career. Set to become a free agent this offseason, Conklin could find work with a team in need of tight-end depth ahead of the 2026 campaign.
