Dallas Goedert TE | PHI
Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Good to go
Goedert (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the 49ers.
Goedert missed Week 18, but so did some of Philadelphia's healthy starters. He was then limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday this week before upgrading to full participation Friday. Goedert should be ready for his usual every-down role come Sunday.

Cole Turner TE | TEN
Dolphins' Cole Turner: Headed to Miami
Turner signed a reserve/future contract with the Dolphins on Friday.
The 2022 fifth-round pick from Nevada spent most of his 2025 campaign with the Titans' practice squad, but he's found a new home in Miami. In Turner's one appearance with the Titans, he failed to record a stat while playing just two special-teams snaps. Now in Miami, he could compete for a depth role at tight end in the offseason.

Tyler Lockett WR | LV
Raiders' Tyler Lockett: Makes 32 total receptions in 2025
Lockett closed out his 2025 campaign with 32 catches for 291 yards and a touchdown on 55 targets over 17 games, 10 of which he played with the Raiders after a midseason departure from Tennessee.
Lockett was released by the Titans in October, less than a month after his 33rd birthday, before ultimately landing in Las Vegas, where he linked up with former Seahawks comrades in head coach Pete Carroll and quarterback Geno Smith. As a Raider, Lockett provided a veteran presence among the receiving corps while the team worked out a trade that sent Jakobi Meyers to Jacksonville. Across 10 games in the silver and black, Lockett caught 22 passes on 34 targets for 221 yards and a score. He's now set to become an unrestricted free agent, though retirement could be a possibility as well.

Jared Wilson OG | NE
Patriots' Jared Wilson: Ready for Sunday
Wilson (concussion) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Chargers.
The 22-year-old from Georgia missed the Patriots' last two regular-season games due to a concussion, but it appears he's returning for the wild-card round. Now fully healthy, Wilson is expected to operate as New England's top left guard Sunday.

Jawhar Jordan RB | HOU
Texans' Jawhar Jordan: Still not practicing
Jordan (ankle) remained sidelined at practice Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Per Wilson, Jordan -- who was listed as a non-participant Thursday -- is dealing with a high-ankle sprain, which clouds his status for Monday night's playoff opener against the Steelers. If Jordan ends up limited or out, added backfield snaps behind Woody Marks would be available for Nick Chubb and Dare Ogunbowale, with British Brooks available to mix in.

Nick Chubb RB | HOU
Texans' Nick Chubb: Set for RB2 role if Jordan's out
Chubb wasn't listed on Thursday's injury report, while Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports that Jawhar Jordan (ankle) remained sidelined at practice Friday.
Chubb was rested in the regular-season finale against the Colts, but his absence from the injury report confirms the notion that he was inactive Week 18 due to a coach's decision and will be available for Monday's wild-card game against the Steelers. Jordan sustained a high-ankle sprain in the Week 18 win over the Colts and looks unlikely to suit up Monday, paving the way for Chubb to reclaim the top backup role behind Woody Marks. Dare Ogunbowale and British Brooks round out Houston's running back depth chart.

Dont'e Thornton Jr. WR | LV
Raiders' Dont'e Thornton: Ends rookie season with 10 catches
Thornton finished his rookie campaign with 10 total receptions for 135 yards on 30 targets over 15 games.
Thornton was expected to be more of a developmental project when the Raiders selected him 108th overall in the 2025 NFL Draft out of Tennessee, but a 10-135-0 receiving line for the 6-foot-5, 205-pound burner was still a major disappointment considering the underwhelming target competition in Las Vegas. That being said, Thornton could compete for a starting WR role on the outside across from Tre Tucker in 2026 if the new regime doesn't address the position in the offseason, though tight end Brock Bowers (knee) is set to remain a focal point in the passing game as well. Nonetheless, fellow rookie receiver Jack Bech was a slightly more productive option than Thornton down the stretch.

Bud Dupree OLB | LAC
Chargers' Bud Dupree: Questionable for Sunday
Dupree (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Patriots, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
Dupree opened the Chargers' week of practice with consecutive DNPs, but following Friday's limited session, he's got a chance to play in the wild-card round. The 32-year-old from Kentucky has appeared in 16 regular-season games this year, tallying 16 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, and one pass defensed. If active Sunday, Dupree will likely operate as one of the Chargers' top reserve edge rushers.

Dontayvion Wicks WR | GB
Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Downgraded to out
Wicks (concussion) has been ruled out for Saturday's wild-card game at Chicago.
The Packer listed Wicks as questionable on their final injury report Thursday. They're now downgrading him to 'out', which could leave a few more snaps/routes for any combination of Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed and Matthew Golden.

Del'Shawn Phillips LB | LAC
Chargers' Del'Shawn Phillips: Could play Sunday
Phillips (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Patriots, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
The 29-year-old upgraded from a DNP on Wednesday to limited practice Friday, suggesting he's trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's playoff contest. Phillips is a key special-teamer for the Chargers (352 special-teams snaps), recording 37 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, over 17 appearances this season. If active for the wild-card matchup, he's expected to play a depth role in Los Angeles' linebacker corps while contributing on special teams.
