Gabe Davis suffered a knee injury in the Wild Card Round against the Jaguars and will not return.

11 January 2026

Davis was crushed by multiple defenders while trying to bring down a pass from Josh Allen over the middle of the field. He was unable to put weight on his left and needed to be helped off by trainers before being carted to the locker room. With Josh Palmer on IR, the Bills are dangerously thin at receiver.

49ers declared WR Ricky Pearsall, LB Dee Winters, Luke Gifford, CB Chase Lucas, DL Kevin Givens, WR Jordan Watkins, and RB Isaac Guerendo inactive for the Wild Card Round against the Eagles.

11 January 2026

Pearsall was listed as questionable on Friday but did not practice once this week, meaning he was always a long-shot to suit up. Demarcus Robinson will continue to operate as the team’s No. 2 receiver opposite Jauan Jennings this week.

Eagles declared RT Lane Johnson, OLB Josh Uche, QB Sam Howell, CB Jakorian Bennett, RB AJ Dillon, OL Brett Toth, and DT Ty Robinson inactive for the Wild Card Round against the 49ers.

11 January 2026

The Eagles have been optimistic that Johnson would return from the foot issue next week for over a month. It seems like the injury isn’t progressing as Johnson or the team had anticipated. Fred Johnson will remain in the starting lineup in place of Lane.

Bills S Jordan Poyer (hamstring) will not return in the Wild Card Round against the Jaguars.

11 January 2026

Poyer went down with the hamstring issue in the second quarter. He was listed as questionable to return but the team eventually ruled him out after halftime. The Bills’ secondary will be undermanned for the rest of the game.

49ers LT Trent Williams (hamstring) is active for the Wild Card Round against the Eagles.

11 January 2026

Getting Williams back for this game is a huge win for Brock Purdy and the San Francisco offense. He was listed as questionable on Friday after a light week of practice. Ricky Pearsall, on the other hand, is out for the Wild Card Round.

Tyrell Shavers (knee) returned to the Bills’ Wild Card Round game against the Jaguars.

11 January 2026

Shavers left in the second quarter with the knee issue. He went to the locker room and the team listed him as questionable to return. Shavers was back on the field coming out of halftime, giving the Bills some extra receiver depth for the final two quarters.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Panthers LT Ikem Ekwonu suffered a ruptured patellar tendon in the Wild Card Round against the Rams.

11 January 2026

Per Schefter, Ekwonu will undergo surgery and his availability for Week 1 of the 2026 season is in doubt. It’s a brutal end to the season for him and the Panthers. Now Carolina will likely have to spend a bit more on a backup tackle in the offseason. Pro Football Focus has Ekwonu graded as a top-40 tackle this year. He had just one year left on his contract and was likely eying an extension in the spring. Ekwonu might be forced to wait until next year to ink a new deal.

Parker Washington (concussion) has returned to the Jaguars’ Wild Card Round game against the Bills.

11 January 2026

Washington left for the locker room in the first quarter to be evaluated for a concussion. He missed time spanning multiple drives but did eventually return. Brian Thomas Jr. caught a short touchdown pass in his absence.

Bills WR Tyrell Shavers (knee) is questionable to return in the Wild Card Round against the Jaguars.

11 January 2026

Shavers injured his left knee while on punt coverage in the second quarter. He quickly left for the locker room and was listed as questionable to return. With Josh Palmer now on IR, the Bills would be forced to lean on Keon Coleman, Gabe Davis, and Brandin Cooks for wide receiver snaps if Shavers is done for the day. Bills S Jordan Poyer (hamstring) is also questionable to return.

Parker Washington left the Jaguars’ Wild Card Round game against the Bills to be evaluated for a concussion.

11 January 2026

Washington left the game in the first quarter for the concussion evaluation. He was quickly taken to the locker room after getting shaken up. Jakobi Meyers and Brian Thomas Jr. would be asked to step up if Washington cannot return.

Bills declared RB Ty Johnson, LB Terrel Bernard, CB Maxwell Hairston (ankle), DT Larry Ogunjobi, S Darnell Savage, OL Tylan Grable, TE Keleki Latu inactive for the Wild Card Round against the Jaguars.

11 January 2026

Johnson suffered the ankle injury in the Bills’ final game of the regular season. He only practiced once this week before being listed as questionable. Ray Davis will see more work in his absence. James Cook could also be used more on passing plays, upping his fantasy value for Sunday’s DFS slate. Kicker Matt Prater is active.

Jaguars declared WR Dyami Brown, RB DeeJay Dallas, OL Cole Van Lanen, TE Hunter Long, DL Emmanuel Ogbah, and DT Maason Smith inactive for the Wild Card Round against the Bills.

11 January 2026

Van Lanen has played all over the formation this year, filling in wherever needed. The team recently rewarded his versatility with a three-year extension. He has been starting at left tackle as of late. Walker Little will likely slide back to left tackle for this game.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports teams “still believe there is a chance” Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman comes to the NFL.

11 January 2026

Per Rapoport, Freeman recently had his contract adjusted by Notre Dame to stay with the team. He also posted on social media late last year that he would be returning to the Fighting Irish. Still, a massive raise and a chance to coach in the pros could lure him away from college football. We suspect multiple teams will reach out to him just to be sure, though all signs point to him staying in the college ranks for another year.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports “a lot of people around the league have been wondering” if the Packers would be at the top of John Harbaugh’s list of head coaching vacancies.

11 January 2026

The Packers haven’t decided on Matt LaFleur’s future yet, but another early playoff exit has many speculating that they will move on from him in the coming days. As Schefter notes, Harbaugh is from the Midwest and his agent, Bryan Harlan, is the son of a former Packers president. It’s admittedly a tenuous link, but the dots are there for someone to connect. More importantly, the Packers would, in this scenario, be the only playoff team with a head coaching vacancy. Harbaugh wouldn’t need ...

Browns requested an interview with Rams pass game coordinator Nate Scheelhaase for their head coaching vacancy.

11 January 2026

The coaching pool isn’t as deep this year as it was in 2025 when Ben Johnson and Liam Coen were both on the market. That, in turn, has teams like the Browns digging deeper into the McVay tree. Scheelhaase joined LA last year as an assistant and passing game specialist. He was promoted to passing game coordinator ahead of the 2025 season. Matthew Stafford went on to post career numbers this year, leading the league with 4,707 passing yards and 46 touchdowns. Scheelhaase is an under-the-radar na ...

Bears coach Ben Johnson said LT Ozzy Trapilo suffered a patellar injury in the team’s Wild Card Round win over the Packers and will miss the remainder of the season.

11 January 2026

The second-round rookie didn’t see much action early in the year but took over as the team’s starting left tackle in Week 12. He has held down that job ever since. Pro Football Focus has him graded as a top-40 tackle this year. Theo Benedet took his spot in the lineup late in Saturday’s game. He will presumably start in the Divisional Round.

Bears coach Ben Johnson said LB T.J. Edwards suffered a fractured fibula in the team’s Wild Card Round win over the Packers and will miss the remainder of the season.

11 January 2026

Edwards was carted to the locker room in the second quarter of Chicago’s stunning comeback victory over the Packers and did not return. He appeared in 10 games this year, logging 67 combined tackles, .5 sacks, and a pick-six. D’Marco Jackson took his spot in the lineup in the second half of Saturday’s game. Jackson has largely been a backup this year.

Caleb Williams completed 24-of-48 passes for 361 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in the Bears’ 31-27, Wild Card Round victory over the Packers.

11 January 2026

What a comeback. The Bears trailed 21-3 at the end of the first half, but it was all Chicago in the second half, and Williams deserves much of the credit. The 2024 first-overal pick did throw a couple of costly picks — both on fourth down — but he made some outstanding throws to get the Bears back into the game, and he completed the comeback with a touchdown throw to DJ Moore from 25-yards out late in the fourth. Williams and the Bears will be playing at home next week, but their opponent ...

Brandon McManus missed both field goal attempts while making 3-of-4 extra points in the Packers’ Wild Card Round loss to the Bears.

11 January 2026

McManus missed two critical kicks; an extra-point that would have put the Packers up by 13 with two minutes left, and a field goal that would have extended the Green Bay lead to six. The 34-year-old made 24-of-30 field goals in 2025, but he went just 6-for-12 on kicks beyond 40 yards. He is signed through 2027, but there’s no guarantee that McManus will be back in Green Bay in 2026.

Matthew Golden caught 4-of-5 targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in the Packers’ Wild Card Round loss to the Bears.
