  • Rams' Matthew Stafford: Logs full walkthrough Wednesday

    Stafford (right finger) was a full participant at Wednesday's walkthrough, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

    Stafford banged his right hand on a follow-through in the second quarter of this past Saturday's wild-card win at Carolina, and while his accuracy and touch dipped afterward, he still played all 76 offensive snaps, completing 24 of 42 passes for 304 yards, three touchdowns and one interception, rushing twice for no yards and taking only one sack. On Monday, coach Sean McVay revealed to Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com that Stafford was diagnosed with a sprained index finger, but he also wasn't concerned about the quarterback's status for Sunday's divisional-round game in Chicago. Stafford himself expressed a similar sentiment Wednesday, telling Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register that he feels "great" and doesn't expect to wear any protection on his right hand. With a full listing to kick off the week, Stafford is good to go ahead of the weekend.

  • Justin Watson WR | HOU

    Texans' Justin Watson: Unable to practice Wednesday

    Watson (concussion) did not participate in practice Wednesday.

    Watson suffered a concussion in the Texans' wild-card game against the Steelers on Monday. The 29-year-old has both Thursday and Friday to have a chance at returning to practice. Watson still faces an uphill battle in clearing the NFL's concussion protocol in preparation for the Texans' AFC divisional-round matchup Saturday.

  • DJ Moore WR | CHI

    Bears' DJ Moore: Listed as limited Wednesday

    Moore (knee) was listed as limited on Wednesday's estimated injury report.

    Moore also was limited at last Tuesday's walkthrough before capping the week with a full practice Thursday and heading into the weekend with no designation. He proceeded to lead Bears wide receivers in snap share (86 percent) in this past Saturday's wild-card win versus the Packers en route to six catches (on seven targets) for 64 yards and one touchdown and one carry for minus-5 yards. Both Moore and fellow WR Rome Odunze (foot) were limited at Wednesday's walkthrough, so their statuses will continue to be monitored ahead of Sunday's divisional-round contest against the Rams.

  • Patriots' Khyiris Tonga: Limited in practice Wednesday

    Tonga (foot) was limited in practice Wednesday.

    Tonga practiced for the first time since suffering a foot injury in Week 16 against Baltimore. The 29-year-old will need to at least remain limited in practice Thursday and Friday for a chance to play in the Patriots' AFC divisional round matchup against the Broncos. The five-year pro has 24 tackles (nine solo) and two pass breakups through 14 regular season games.

  • Rome Odunze WR | CHI

    Bears' Rome Odunze: Limited on practice estimate

    Odunze (foot) was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough.

    In his return from a five-game absence in this past Saturday's wild-card win against the Packers, Odunze started and played the second-most offensive snaps (54 of 78) among Bears wide receivers behind DJ Moore (knee), but the former managed just two catches (on six targets) for 44 yards. Both wide receivers were estimated as limited to begin preparation for Sunday's divisional-round game versus the Rams, with Odunze dealing with his lingering foot injury and Moore his nagging knee issue, so their statuses bear watching as the weekend approaches.

  • Patriots' Harold Landry: Limited in practice Wednesday

    Landry (knee) was limited in practice Wednesday.

    Landry is starting the week as a limited participant in practice as he continues to heal from a knee injury that kept him out of the final two games of the regular season. In his first game back, the 29-year-old garnered two tackles (one solo) in 26 defensive snaps. The eight-year veteran likely will have to practice in full by Friday to avoid an injury designation.

  • Jawhar Jordan RB | HOU

    Texans' Jawhar Jordan: Returns to practice Wednesday

    Jordan (ankle) was limited at practice Wednesday.

    Jordan, who is managing a high-ankle sprain that he sustained in Week 18, didn't practice last week before being ruled out for this past Monday's wild-card win over the Steelers. The running back's return to the field Wednesday, albeit in a limited capacity, is a step in the right direction ahead of Sunday's divisional-round contest against the Patriots. If Jordan is able to return to action this weekend, he'd be in line to work in a complementary role in a Houston backfield led by Woody Marks, which also includes Nick Chubb.

  • Patriots' Terrell Jennings: Practice window opens

    Jennings (concussion) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.

    Jennings officially opened his 21-day practice window, participating for the first time since being placed on injured reserve in Week 15. The 24-year-old will still need to progress through the NFL's five-step concussion protocol to have an opportunity to play in the Patriots' AFC divisional round matchup against the Texans.

  • Hunter Henry TE | NE

    Patriots' Hunter Henry: Limited with knee injury

    Henry (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Henry was not spotted at the early portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, Taylor Kyles of CLNSMedia.com reports, but it appears he managed to get in limited reps despite having to manage a knee injury. Henry has scored three times in his last four appearances, including a 3-64-1 receiving line managed during New England's wild-card round win over the Chargers. He will have two more chances to upgrade to full practice reps ahead of Sunday's divisional-round game against the Texans.

  • K.J. Henry DE | CLE

    Steelers' KJ Henry: Inks deal with Steelers

    The Steelers signed Henry to a reserve/future contract Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Henry was a free agent for the majority of the season, joining the Browns in Week 14 and eventually ending the season with the Steelers. In his one game active, the 26-year-old played five snaps on special teams without appearing on the stat sheet. The third-year pro will participate in Pittsburgh's offseason activities and attempt to earn a spot on the active roster next season.
