That makes six for Kubiak: Falcons, Giants, Cardinals, Raiders, Ravens, and now the Dolphins. What the Seahawks OC did to offend the Titans, we’ll never know. Gary Kubiak’s son stands a solid chance of picking up a job this cycle given how many openings there are and how many he’s already interviewed for. Things will slow down a bit with his market as the Seahawks start playing playoff games next week.

Josiah Stewart ran right over Ekwonu as his leg buckled. The fact that he was almost immediately ruled out likely foreshadows that he would have problems playing if the Panthers advanced. We can’t rule out a serious injury that requires surgery, either. Ekwonu played 950 regular-season snaps as Carolina’s starter at left tackle. Yosh Nijman took over at left tackle.10 January 2026

Jordan injured his ankle in Week 18 and failed to practice all week, eventually ruled out with the ailment. That leaves very little depth behind starting rookie Woody Marks, who could find himself in a workhorse role for the team’s Wildcard matchup against the Steelers.

The No. 1 seeded Broncos get the luxury of an additional week of preparation as they await their Division Round opponent, giving Sanders a legitimate chance to return for the team’s first postseason game.
