| 1/14/2025 9:16:00 PM | McDuffie (knee) was a full practice participant Tuesday. |
| McDuffie didn't play in Kansas City's Week 18 game against Denver due to a knee issue, though his absence may have been partly precautionary with the Chiefs resting most of their starters. The third-year cornerback's ability to fully practice Tuesday suggests he'll be able to play in Saturday's AFC divisional-round clash against the Texans. As a result, Nazeeh Johnson will likely return to a rotational role. | |
| 1/14/2025 5:49:00 PM | Mahomes (ankle) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice. |
| Mahomes was inactive for the Chiefs' Week 18 loss to the Broncos, but he likely would have played in the game had Kansas City not already secured the AFC's No. 1 seed heading into the regular-season finale. The star quarterback instead benefited from more time to recover from the right high-ankle sprain that he sustained in a Dec. 15 win over the Browns and then played through in Weeks 16 and 17. With a full practice to kick off prep for the divisional-round matchup with the Texans on Saturday, Mahomes is good to go as the Chiefs begin their quest for a third straight Super Bowl title. | |
| 1/12/2025 9:10:00 PM | Wicks recorded two receptions on six targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 22-10 loss to the Eagles. |
| Wicks was thrust into an expanded role with Christian Watson (knee) sidelined and both Jayden Reed (shoulder) and Romeo Doubs (concussion) suffering injuries during the game. He saw a team-high six targets as a result, though he struggled to convert that into production. The exception came on a long 29-yard reception midway through the third quarter, which helped set up a field goal as the Packers attempted to rally. Wicks will be back with the team for his third pro season in 2025, and he could see an expanded role early in the campaign depending on Watson's recovery. | |
| 1/12/2025 7:33:00 PM | Winfield (knee) is active for Sunday night's NFC wild-card game against the Commanders. |
| Winfield will return to action Sunday after missing the team's final four games of the regular season with a knee injury. The safety will be a valuable addition to Tampa Bay's secondary versus Washington's impressive passing attack. | |
| 1/12/2025 12:25:00 AM | Pickens recorded five receptions on five targets for 87 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 28-14 loss to the Ravens. |
| Pickens was coming off a poor close to the regular season, though he keyed the slight offensive resurgence the Steelers showed in the second half of their playoff loss. That began with an impressive 36-yard touchdown catch, during which Pickens spun to split two defenders along the sideline. He also chipped in an acrobatic 26-yard leaping reception on an underthrown ball from Russell Wilson midway through the fourth quarter. Pickens will be entering the final year of his rookie contract in 2025, making him a potential extension candidate this offseason. Regardless of whether a deal gets done, he should be set to lead the Pittsburgh receiving corps once again next season. | |
| 1/11/2025 11:41:00 PM | Harris rushed the ball six times for 17 yards in Saturday's 28-14 loss to the Ravens. He added three receptions on three targets for 41 yards. |
| Harris led the Pittsburgh backfield in every statistic, though it's difficult to have many takeaways from this game, as the Steelers were down multiple scores for over half of the game. In part due to game script, he was unable to get going on the ground, but he showed some ability as a pass catcher -- highlighted by a 21-yard catch and run late in the third quarter. Harris is now set to enter free agency for the first time in his career, and his market will be intriguing to watch. He has lacked explosive playmaking ability for most of his career, though he's topped 250 carries in each of his four pro seasons and has proven the ability to lead a backfield. | |
| 1/11/2025 8:42:00 PM | Collins recorded seven receptions on eight targets for 122 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 32-12 win over the Chargers. |
| The Texans offense was stalled early, though Collins made several big plays to serve as the key playmaker in the win. His biggest contributions came on the team's first touchdown drive late in the second quarter, when he delivered a 37-yard gain followed by a 13-yard touchdown catch three plays later. The performance marked Collins' highest yardage total in three career playoff games and marked his first 100-yard performance since Week 13. | |
| 1/10/2025 4:37:00 PM | Cooper (illness/knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Eagles, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports. |
| Cooper, a 2024 second-round pick from Texas A&M, was limited throughout the Packers' week of practice due to a knee injury and an illness. However, it now appears he's healthy enough to play in Sunday's wild-card contest. Cooper has really rounded into form down the stretch for Green Bay, recording 35 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks and an additional seven tackles for loss, and two passes defended, with one interception, since returning from injury in Week 15. Expect the reigning NFC Defensive Rookie of the Month to cause problems for the Eagles' offense Sunday. | |
| 1/8/2025 1:30:00 PM | Wright rushed six times for minus-four yards during Sunday's 32-20 loss to the Jets. |
| Wright saw his highest touch total since Week 12 during Miami's season finale, but the rookie fourth-round pick did little with his opportunities. Across 15 appearances in 2024, Wright rushed 68 times for 249 yards without a single touchdown and secured three of six targets for eight yards. The Tennessee product was touted as a big-play threat after he submitted a 4.38-second 40-yard dash time at the NFL Scouting Combine, but he logged only one run of 20-plus yards as a rookie. Even if the Dolphins opt to move on from veterans Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson this offseason, Wright will need to improve heading into Year 2 to secure a notable role behind De'Von Achane. | |
| 1/7/2025 12:37:00 PM | Smith-Schuster caught one of two targets for four yards during Sunday's 38-0 loss versus the Broncos. |
| Smith-Schuster logged a heavy workload in the contest, playing 94 percent of the offensive snaps as one of the wideouts who saw additional action with Xavier Worthy, DeAndre Hopkins and Hollywood Brown all sitting out with the No. 1 seed already in hand coming into the Week 18 tilt. The veteran closed out the 2024 campaign with 18 catches for 231 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 26 targets and will rejoin the free-agent ranks this offseason once the team's postseason run concludes. | |
| 1/7/2025 12:26:00 PM | Worthy didn't take the field in the regular-season finale versus the Broncos. |
| Worthy joined a bevy of Chiefs regulars sitting out Week 18 with the Chiefs already locked into the top seed in the AFC. The rookie wideout closed out his rookie regular season with 59 catches for 638 yards and six touchdowns, and he will get an added week of rest with a bye during the wild-card round before rejoining the fray in the divisional round. | |
| 1/6/2025 11:55:00 PM | McLaughlin converted field-goal attempts of 52 and 25 yards and knocked home all three extra-point attempts in the Buccaneers' 27-19 win over the Saints on Sunday. He finished the 2024 regular season having gone 30-for-32 (93.8 percent) on field goals and 54-for-56 on PATs. |
| The veteran kicker managed to inch past his previous career-best field-goal accuracy rate of 93.5 percent, which he'd established just last season, with Sunday's perfect tally. McLaughlin did misfire on extra-point tries for the first time since the 2021 season, but he'll enter the postseason as one of the most trusted kickers in the field of 14 teams and remains under contract with the Buccaneers through the 2026 season. | |
| 1/6/2025 6:17:00 PM | Edmunds recorded nine tackles (four solo) and one pass defensed in the Bears 24-22 win over the Packers on Sunday. |
| In his second year in Chicago, Edmunds averaged 6.5 stops per game, which was the lowest rate of his seven-year career. However, the veteran has at least 102 tackles in each season he's played. In addition to his 110 tackles this season, Edmunds had 1.0 sacks and a forced fumble. The linebacker is signed through 2026. | |
| 1/6/2025 1:22:00 PM | Allen rushed four times for 15 yards while catching two of three targets for eight yards in Sunday's 32-20 win over the Dolphins. He finishes his rookie season with 92 carries for 334 yards and two touchdowns, as well as 19 catches for 148 yards and one touchdown on 27 targets. |
| Allen won the top backup job behind Breece Hall in training camp and showed promise early, with two of the fourth-round draft pick's three total touchdowns coming Week 2 against the Titans. The rookie wore down and averaged just 3.1 yards per carry from Week 5 onward, and by the end of the year, 2024 fifth-round draft pick Isaiah Davis was splitting backup duties with Allen. The crowded nature of the Jets backfield will make it difficult for Allen to shine in 2025, though the 235-pound running back's big frame makes him a strong candidate for goal-line work. | |

| 1/6/2025 12:53:00 AM | Wentz completed 10 of 17 passes for 98 yards in Sunday's 38-0 loss to the Broncos. |
| The Chiefs entered Sunday's game locked into the top seed in the AFC, so Wentz drew the start in place of the resting Patrick Mahomes. It's difficult to get a true gauge of his performance given that the Chiefs rested all their top playmakers while Denver played most of its top defensive players, but Wentz's stat line left plenty to be desired. Mahomes will be back under center when the Chiefs take the field next in the divisional round of the playoffs. | |
| 1/5/2025 8:54:00 PM | Rodgers completed 23 of 36 passes for 274 yards, four touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 32-20 win over the Dolphins. He finishes the season with 3,897 passing yards and a 28:11 TD:INT. |
| Rodgers' first touchdown pass was the 500th of his NFL career. That one was a five-yard pass to Tyler Conklin in the second quarter, and Rodgers added a 13-yard touchdown pass to Allen Lazard in the final minute of the first half. Rodgers tacked on fourth-quarter touchdowns of four yards to Davante Adams and six yards to Breece Hall, as the fifth quarterback in NFL history to throw 500 regular-season touchdown passes raised his career total to 503. It's possible this was the final game of Rodgers' illustrious career, and even more likely his final game with the Jets. Per Rich Cimini of ESPN.com, a reflective Rodgers didn't provide definitive word on his future after this rare sweet spot capped a mostly bitter season. | |
| 1/5/2025 8:46:00 PM | Metcalf caught three of five targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-25 win over the Rams. |
| Metcalf gave managers still competing in Week 18 a solid fantasy score after a rough go of things in the second half of the season. The physical wideout finished just eight yards shy of his fourth 1,000-yard campaign while ending with a career-low five touchdowns. After being involved in potential trade rumors in the final year of his current deal with Seattle-- coupled with the emergence of WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba -- it wouldn't be a shock to see Metcalf donning different team colors in 2025. Wherever he winds up calling home this upcoming offseason, it is clear that the 26-year-old Metcalf still possesses big-play ability if he can operate as a team's top option. | |
| 1/5/2025 7:48:00 PM | Butker missed his only field-goal try and did not attempt a PAT in Sunday's 38-0 loss to the Broncos. |
| Butker was blanked, just like the rest of his team, missing a 51-yard field goal late in the first half. The kicker will finish the regular season having gone 21-for-25 on field-goal tries while making 29 of 31 extra-point attempts over 13 games. We'll next see him out there in the divisional round, as the Chiefs earned the No. 1 seed in the AFC. | |
| 1/5/2025 3:43:00 PM | Tranquill is active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. |
| Tranquill probably won't see the field Sunday due to the Chiefs being locked in as the AFC's No. 1 seed for the postseason. Nick Bolton is also active, but Blake Lynch, Cam Jones and Leo Chenal will likely see most of the snaps at linebacker in Week 18. | |
| 1/5/2025 2:26:00 PM | Robinson is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup versus Atlanta due to a calf injury, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports. |
| Robinson was deemed questionable late in the first half. He was putting together a strong performance prior to his departure, racking up five tackles. Jaden Crumedy and Sam Roberts are candidates to step in as long as Robinson remains out. | |
| 12/30/2024 3:39:00 PM | Cross recorded seven total tackles (two solo) in Sunday's 45-33 loss to the Giants. |
| Cross finished Sunday's loss as the Colts' second-leading tackler, trailing Zaire Franklin's impressive 14-stop performance. The Maryland product has been productive in his first full season as a starter in Indianapolis, recording 138 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, three interceptions and one forced fumble over 16 appearances. Despite the Colts' defensive struggles, Cross has remained a bright spot and is expected to continue making plays when the Jaguars travel to Indianapolis in Week 18. | |
| 12/29/2024 5:33:00 PM | Taylor completed 11 of 14 passes for 83 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 40-14 loss to the Bills. He also threw a two-point conversion while playing the fourth quarter. |
| Taylor entered the game with the Jets trailing 40-0 in the fourth quarter and at least managed to deliver a modicum of respectability to the final stat line with two touchdown passes in as many drives. He connected with Garrett Wilson for a nine-yard score, then found Tyler Conklin for the two-point conversion before adding a 20-yard touchdown pass to Conklin. Rodgers is expected to start as usual against the Dolphins in Week 18, relegating Taylor back to the bench. | |
| 12/4/2024 1:03:00 PM | The Chiefs placed Shrader (hamstring) on injured reserve Wednesday. |
| Shrader is thus slated to miss at least four games, but by the time he's first eligible for activation Week 18, the Chiefs could get Harrison Butker (knee) back from IR. While Butker remains out through at least this Sunday's game against the Chargers, however, the Chiefs will turn to Matthew Wright to handle kicking duties after signing him off the practice squad. Shrader has kicked in four games this season -- two for the Chiefs, one for the Jets and one for the Colts -- and has converted on all 14 of his kicks (nine extra points, five field goals). | |
| 11/27/2024 11:25:00 AM | Travis has dealt with setbacks in his recovery from the grisly ankle injury he sustained last season, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. |
| Travis began the year on the reserve/non-football injury list with no timetable for return, and now it's confirmed that his next chance to suit up won't come until 2025. Until then, Aaron Rodgers will continue to be backed up by Tyrod Taylor, with Adrian Martinez standing by on the practice squad. | |
