Darnold (oblique) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Rams, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Darnold was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday as he continues to manage an oblique injury that occurred in practice last Thursday, but he'll be available to face the Rams on Sunday. In this past Saturday's 41-6 divisional-round win over the 49ers, a game in which RB Kenneth Walker racked up three rushing TDs, the Seahawks' starting QB was efficient with modest volume, completing 12 of his 17 passing attempts for 124 yards, with one touchdown and no turnovers en route to compiling a 110.9 passer rating.

Darnold (oblique) was a limited practice participant Thursday.

Darnold played through an oblique injury during this past Saturday's divisional-round win against the 49ers, completing 12 of 17 passes for 124 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions while taking two sacks. He's so far logged back-to-back capped sessions this week, but it's unclear if he's thrown any passes, as coach Mike Macdonald told Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune prior to Thursday's practice that he'd like Darnold to do so before Sunday's NFC Championship Game versus the Rams. Darnold will have one more chance to prove his health Friday before the Seahawks potentially give him a designation ahead of the weekend.

San Francisco signed Martinez to a reserve/future contract Tuesday.

Martinez spent most of the 2025 season on the 49ers' and the Jets' practice squads, taking just one snap with San Francisco in Week 9 against the Giants to execute the game-ending kneel down. It appears the 49ers saw something they liked in Martinez, though, so he'll be staying with them to begin the 2026 league year.

Darnold (oblique) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

After Darnold played through a left oblique injury this past Saturday against the 49ers, coach Mike Macdonald told Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle that the quarterback would be "day-to-day" this week. Macdonald said Wednesday that Darnold "continues to get better," but the Seahawks will cap his number of throws due to the health concern, per Brady Henderson of ESPN.com. Darnold himself relayed to Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic on Wednesday that he "felt good" in the wake of the divisional round, but he also needs "to get my body right to be ready" for Sunday's NFC Championship Game versus the Rams. In the end, Friday's injury report will reveal whether or not Darnold heads into the weekend with a designation.

San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday that he expects Jones to be with the 49ers for 2026, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

General manager John Lynch also praised Jones but didn't comment on expectations for next season. Jones went 5-3 as a starter while completing 69.6 percent of his passes for 7.4 YPA, giving the 49ers a fantastic return on their investment in the first season of a two-year, $8.4 million contract. He probably won't be content to return to San Francisco as an underpaid backup, but his contract does give the team some leverage in discussions about a trade or raise.

Bills GM Brandon Beane noted Wednesday that Allen may need a procedure done on his right foot, but if that is the case, the QB's availability for OTAs would not be impacted, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

Per ESPN.com, Allen initially hurt his foot during Week 16 action, which resulted in soreness that lingered in subsequent weeks. Additionally, Allen managed issues with his left knee and right finger following the Bills' wild-card win over the Jaguars. In terms of a possible foot procedure for Allen, Beane did not provide a timeline Wednesday for when that might occur. Either way, Allen has time to recover from his injuries before his team returns to the field, at which time he'll be working with a new head coach following the dismissal of Sean McDermott in the wake of Buffalo's divisional-round loss to the Broncos.

Jennings (concussion) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Broncos.

Jennings has passed the NFL's concussion protocol after a week of full practice, but remains questionable to suit up for Sunday's contest. With both Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson healthy and ready for Sunday, the Patriots must decide if the team will allocate a roster spot for Jennings' activation or if there are more pressing needs elsewhere that would consume an active roster spot.

Dobbins (foot) won't play in Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Patriots.

Dobbins, who last saw game action in Week 10 when he sustained a foot injury that required surgery, has been able to practice in a limited fashion this week, but he's not quite ready to return to action. In his continued absence, RJ Harvey, Jaleel McLaughlin and Tyler Badie will handle the Broncos' RB duties this weekend. Dobbins' next chance to suit up would occur in the event that Denver advances to Super Bowl LX, which will take place Feb. 8.

The Seahawks have placed Charbonnet (knee) on IR, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Charbonnet suffered a season-ending knee injury during Seattle's divisional-round win over the 49ers this past Sunday, an issue that coach Mike Macdonald noted Monday that he was "pretty sure" is "ACL (related)." To bolster the team's backfield depth behind starter Kenneth Walker, the Seahawks activated George Holani (hamstring) from IR on Friday. Charbonnet appears to be facing a lengthy recovery period, though at this stage a timetable on that front has yet to be outlined.

Holani (hamstring) has been activated off IR by the Seahawks in advance of Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Rams, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Holani, who was placed on IR on Nov. 29 due to a hamstring injury, logged back-to-back full practices Wednesday and Thursday before being activated by Seattle on Friday. His looming return to the mix gives the team some needed depth at running back behind starter Kenneth Walker in the wake of Zach Charbonnet having suffered a season-ending knee injury during the divisional round. In 11 regular-season contests, Holani recorded 22 carries for 73 yards and a touchdown and two catches for 15 yards while also playing a key role on special teams.

Dobbins (foot) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Since Denver designated Dobbins to return from injured reserve Monday, he's put together back-to-back capped sessions as he seeks his first game action since Week 10, when he sustained a foot injury that required surgery. Friday's practice report will be telling for his odds to play in Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Patriots, especially if he's listed as questionable. If that occurs, the Broncos would need to activate him from IR by Saturday afternoon in order for him to have a chance to rejoin RJ Harvey, Jaleel McLaughlin and Tyler Badie in the backfield this weekend.

Holani (hamstring) was a full participant at practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Holani has spent Seattle's last seven games on its injured reserve list after hurting his hamstring in Week 12 at Tennessee, but it now seems like he could be on track to suit up for the NFC Championship. With 2023 second-rounder Zach Charbonnet (knee) already ruled out, Holani's status is worth keeping an eye on as Sunday's contest versus the Rams approaches.

Bryant (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Patriots.

Bryant, who sustained a concussion in this past Saturday's divisional-round win over the Bills, logged a limited practice Wednesday, but following full sessions Thursday and Friday, he's been cleared to face New England. Meanwhile, fellow WR Troy Franklin (hamstring) has been deemed questionable after three straight limited practices, and if Franklin is limited or out Sunday, Bryant and Marvin Mims would stand to pick up added snaps alongside Courtland Sutton.

Franklin (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Patriots.

Franklin, who was limited to 13 snaps in this past Saturday's divisional-round win over the Bills, was able to practice in a limited fashion this week, but his status for the AFC Championship Game won't be confirmed until the Broncos' inactives are posted ahead of the team's 3:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If Franklin ends up limited or out this weekend, added WR snaps alongside Courtland Sutton would be available for Pat Bryant, Marvin Mims and Lil'Jordan Humphrey.

Hollins (abdomen) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Broncos, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

The Patriots placed Hollins on IR on Dec. 27, with the wideout having returned to a limited practice session Thursday. If Hollins -- who worked fully Friday -- is activated ahead of Sunday's contest (a move that would need to occur by Saturday afternoon), he'd bolster a New England WR corps that also includes Stefon Diggs, Kayshon Boutte, Kyle Williams, DeMario Douglas and Efton Chism. In such a scenario, Hollins would be a speculative fantasy option this weekend, considered he's coming off an injury as well as the Patriots' tendency to spread around targets in their passing game.

Hollins (abdomen) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday.

The Patriots designated Hollins for return from injured reserve Thursday, after which he logged his first on-field work since Week 16 prep. He's missed the requisite four contests while on IR due to an abdominal injury, but it remains unclear if he has a chance to play in Sunday's AFC Championship Game in Denver. How Hollins is listed on Friday's practice report will reveal as much.

Bryant (concussion) practiced fully Thursday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Bryant sustained a concussion in this past Saturday's divisional-round win versus the Bills, but he followed up Wednesday's limited session with all activity one day later, displaying considerable progress through the protocol for head injuries in the process. Having said that, he must gain clearance from an independent neurologist in order to be eligible to play in Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Patriots.

Franklin (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Franklin maintained his activity level from Wednesday, while fellow WR Pat Bryant (concussion) upgraded from limited to full. Both players made early departures from this past Saturday's divisional-round win against the Bills, but Franklin himself has just one more chance to prove his health before Denver potentially tags him with a designation ahead of Sunday's AFC Championship Game versus the Patriots.

Krull (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Patriots.

Krull has been on injured reserve since breaking his foot back in October, and the reserve tight end will have to miss yet another pivotal game. The 27-year-old was a full participant in practice throughout the week, but the space demanded by the active roster and the reserve player's relatively low-priority role are likely what kept him from being activated for Sunday's contest.

The Steelers signed Galbreath to a reserve/future deal Friday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

Galbreath spent early September on the Steelers' practice squad after failing to make the team's active roster. The tight end was eventually cut to make space for other additions, but will return to the team for the start of the coming season's on-field activities. The 24-year-old now has another shot to make the Steelers' 53-man roster for the 2026 campaign.

Kincaid (knee) reportedly played with a torn PCL during the entire 2025 season, per Ryan Talbot of Syracuse.com.

Kincaid initially suffered the injury in November of 2024. He opted for rehab last offseason but subsequently remained bothered by the injury according to fellow TE Dawson Knox, which capped the 2023 first-rounder's snap counts during the 2025 campaign. Kincaid didn't play more than 55 percent of snaps on offense in any game during the regular season or playoffs. He may try to rehab the injury again this offseason, but if Kincaid opts for surgery, he could face an estimated recovery timeframe of six-to-nine months.

Arroyo (knee) was activated from IR on Friday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Arroyo has been sidelined for the Seahawks' last five contests due to a knee injury sustained in Week 14, but it now appears he's ready to return for the NFC Championship game against the Rams. The 2025 second-round pick from Miami has had a solid rookie campaign, catching 15 of 26 targets for 179 yards and a touchdowns across 13 regular-season appearances. Now fully healthy, Arroyo is expected to operate as Seattle's No. 2 tight end Sunday, playing behind AJ Barner.

The 49ers signed Rucci to a reserve/future contract Thursday.

Rucci joined the 49ers' practice squad Jan. 14 but wasn't elevated to the active roster for the NFC divisional-round game against the Seahawks despite the absence of George Kittle (Achilles). Rucci will be on the 49ers' 90-man roster when the offseason officially begins Feb. 9, giving him the opportunity to participate in OTAs and minicamp.

Arroyo (knee) was a full participant at practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Arroyo has been on Seattle's injured reserve list for the past five games due to a knee injury he suffered in Week 14 at Atlanta, but his activity at practice signals he could return to game action for the NFC Championship. With any limits on his reps apparently behind him, the Seahawks would just need to officially activate him from IR prior to Sunday's game versus the Rams.

Myers connected on both field-goal attempts and all five extra-point tries in Saturday's 41-6 win over the 49ers in the divisional round.

Myers missed two kicks in the regular-season finale against the 49ers, but he was perfect in the rematch. Overall and including the playoffs, Myers has hit 86 percent of his field-goal tries this season, including nine of 12 attempts from beyond 50 yards. Myers will be outdoors again in the NFC Championship Game regardless of the opponent.

Prater (quad/calf) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Prater was listed as a non-participant in Tuesday's walkthrough but was able to upgrade to full participation in Wednesday's session. The kicker was questionable to play ahead of last Sunday's playoff win over the Jaguars, but he managed to suit up for the game and put forth a flawless effort. The 41-year-old should be all set to play in Saturday's divisional-round matchup against the Broncos, barring any setbacks.

The Bills listed Prater as a non-participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice due to right quadriceps and calf injuries.

The kicker had previously been listed on injury reports with only the quad issue, which kept him from playing in Weeks 16 and 17. Since returning in Week 18, Prater has knocked down both of his field-goal tries and all six of his extra-point attempts, but he's ceded kickoff duties to punter Mitch Wishnowsky in both contests. Even though Prater's calf is now bothering him as well, head coach Sean McDermott said he expects the veteran to kick during Wednesday's practice, per Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com. If Prater is unable to play in Saturday's divisional-round game in Denver, the Bills will likely call up Matthew Wright from the practice squad to serve as their placekicker.

Elliott made field goals from 41 and 33 yards in Sunday's 23-19 wild-card loss to the 49ers but missed one of his two extra-point attempts.

The missed extra point wound up being significant, as the Eagles drove to the San Francisco 21 on their final possession and would have been in range for a game-tying field-goal attempt had Elliott made all of his earlier kicks. Elliott missed just one of his 42 extra-point tries in the regular season, but he made just 74 percent of his field-goal attempts (20-for-27), his worst performance since 2020.

The Packers signed Havrisik to a reserve/future contract Monday.

Havrisik spent time on both Green Bay's practice squad and active roster during the 2025 campaign, converting all four of his field-goal attempts and seven of nine extra-point tries across three games while Brandon McManus was sidelined. Havrisik could have the opportunity to compete for the team's placekicker role during the offseason.

Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Prater (quadriceps) is "in a good spot" heading into Saturday's divisional-round matchup with the Broncos, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.

Prater was limited in the Bills' wild-card win over the Jaguars after aggravating a right quadriceps injury Week 18. The veteran kicker ceded kickoff duties to punter Mitch Wishnowsky but participated on field-goal and extra-point attempts, converting on all five of his opportunities. McDermott also said Monday that he expects Prater to practice more as the team prepares for the divisional-round matchup

Davis (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Broncos.

Davis was able to upgrade to a full participant in Friday's practice, clearing the league's five-step concussion protocol just in time for Sunday's elimination game. The starting outside cornerback is all set to suit up opposite Christian Gonzalez, securing a healthy starting secondary for the Patriots defense.

Elliss (hip) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Broncos.

Elliss managed to upgrade to a full participant in Friday's practice after being limited for consecutive sessions to start the week. The inside linebacker logged 40 defensive snaps in last Sunday's playoff win over the Texans and is all set to reprise his role in New England's defense for this weekend's elimination game.

Skinner (quadriceps) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Patriots.

Skinner has been a reliable depth piece for most of the Broncos' season, but a downgrade to limited participation in Friday's practice may mean the backup safety will not be able to suit up for Sunday's game. The 24-year-old is primarily a special-teams player, and if he is unable to take the field, another defensive back or wide receiver will likely take over his snaps.

Sanders (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Patriots.

Sanders has yet to make his season debut, having started the year on injured reserve. The third-year linebacker had his 21-day practice window opened this past Saturday. The 24-year-old was able to practice fully throughout the week, but will ultimately not be activated for Sunday's game. The Broncos currently have 10 active linebackers, and the availability within the unit is likely one of the reasons that Sanders will have to continue to wait for a shot to suit up.

Forbes (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Seahawks, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Forbes was able to upgrade to a full participant in Friday's practice after being limited for consecutive sessions earlier in the week. The 25-year-old is all set to suit up alongside Cobie Durant and Darious Williams at outside cornerback as the Rams head into a third matchup with the Seahawks.

Surratt (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Rams, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Surratt logged full participation in consecutive practices Wednesday and Thursday but will remain on injured reserve for Sunday's contest. The depth option at linebacker is primarily a special-teamer, logging just seven defensive snaps over 11 games this season. If the Seahawks can beat the Rams and advance to the Super Bowl, Surratt may be called upon to provide additional defensive depth.
