Trent Williams OT | SF
49ers' Trent Williams: Full participant in practice
Williams (hamstring) was a full participant in San Francisco's practice Wednesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Williams was a full go in practice Wednesday after having been limited in Tuesday's walkthrough. The 37-year-old missed the final game of the regular season with a hamstring injury before returning in last week's wild-card win over the Eagles, and he'll seemingly be good to go for Saturday's divisional-round matchup versus the Seahawks.

Rams' Kevin Dotson: Estimated as limited participant
Dotson (ankle) was estimated as a limited participant during the Rams' walkthrough Wednesday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Dotson has been sidelined since the Week 16 loss to the Seahawks due to an ankle injury but appears closer to making his return. While head coach Sean McVay has expressed optimism that Dotson will be good to go for Sunday's divisional-round matchup versus the Bears, his availability in Thursday and Friday's practice sessions should provide more clarity toward his status for the game.

Texans' Ajani Carter: Remaining on IR
Carter (hamstring) will remain on Houston's injured reserve for the rest of the campaign, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Carter's season is officially over after his 21-day window to be activated off injured reserve expired. The 25-year-old had been sidelined since the Week 12 win over Buffalo due to a hamstring injury and will now shift his focus to getting healthy for the 2026 campaign.

Amen Ogbongbemiga LB | CHI
Bears' Amen Ogbongbemiga: Estimated as full participant
Ogbongbemiga (concussion) was listed as a full participant in Chicago's practice estimate Wednesday.
Ogbongbemiga is seemingly trending toward returning after sitting out last week's wild-card win over the Packers due to a concussion. The 27-year-old will aim to make his return during Sunday's divisional-round matchup against the Rams if he clears the league's concussion protocol in time.

Bears' Nick McCloud: Dealing with groin injury
McCloud (groin) was estimated as a non-participant for Chicago's walkthrough practice Wednesday.
McCloud played 20 defensive snaps in Chicago's wild card victory versus the Packers, but now his status for the divisional round is in jeopardy due to a groin injury. He'll probably have to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday to give himself a chance to play Sunday versus the Rams.

Joe Tryon-Shoyinka DE | CHI
Bears' Joe Tryon-Shoyinka: Estimated as full participant
Tryon-Shoyinka (concussion) was listed as a full participant in Chicago's practice estimate Wednesday.
Tryon-Shoyinka has been sidelined since suffering a concussion during the Week 17 loss versus the 49ers but is seemingly trending toward making his return. However, the 2021 first-round pick will still need to clear the league's concussion protocol in order to play in Sunday's divisional-round matchup versus the Rams.

Patriots' Alex Austin: Turns in full practice Wednesday
Austin (wrist) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.
Austin practiced in full Wednesday for the first time since he was placed on New England's injured reserve list back in November. He still hasn't been fully activated from IR, but his recent activity signals he might be ready to play in the divisional round versus the Texans.

Seahawks' DeMarcus Lawrence: Full participant in practice
Lawrence (Achilles) was a full participant in Seattle's practice Wednesday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Lawrence was upgraded to a full participant after being a limited participant in Tuesday's practice session.

Morgan Moses OT | NE
Patriots' Morgan Moses: Nursing knee injury
Moses (knee) did not participate at practice Wednesday.
Moses played all 64 of New England's offensive snaps in the wild-card round, and it's not clear when he hurt his knee. Now, he'll likely have to practice in full Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Tyrice Knight LB | SEA
Seahawks' Tyrice Knight: Returns to practice
Knight (shoulder) was a limited participant in Seattle's practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Knight sat out Tuesday's practice with a shoulder injury but managed to make his return Wednesday, albeit in a limited capacity. With Ernest Jones dealing with an illness, the Seahawks are in danger of being shorthanded at inside linebacker for Saturday's divisional-round matchup versus the 49ers.
