Arroyo missed the last four games after suffering a knee injury. The 22-year-old notably fell in the 2025 NFL Draft due to concerns over knee-related issues, but Arroyo is not yet being relied upon as a featured pass catcher. The Seahawks should be able to bring him along slowly, given starting TE AJ Barner’s presence and their first-round playoff bye. Thus far, Arroyo has caught 15-of-24 targets for 179 yards and one touchdown. The Seahawks have 21 days to evaluate him in practice before offi ...07 January 2026
The Eagles have 21 days to observe Ojulari in practice before making a decision on whether they will officially activate him from injured reserve. They face the 49ers on Sunday, though. Ojulari would likely operate as an infrequently used situational pass rusher if active.07 January 2026
Darn. Per Shanahan, Pearsall aggravated the PCL sprain in his knee during the 49ers’ Week 17 win over the Bears. He was unable to play in Week 18 against the Seahawks, though “he did participate in the 49ers’ 3 light practice sessions last week.” Hopefully, Pearsall resumes practicing tomorrow. Pearsall was recently listed with an ankle injury as well. The 49ers have not yet released the official injury report, so we do not know whether that is also an issue this week. 49ers beat reports ...07 January 2026
Williams still has a chance to play this week, but we were hoping to see him resume practicing today. Williams is dealing with his first recorded hamstring injury, suffered as he clocked 17.6 miles per hour on his team’s first play from scrimmage in Week 17. The 49ers face the Eagles this weekend. Getting Williams back would be a great development for QB Brock Purdy.

Scheelhaase interviewed for the Jaguars and Buccaneers’ offensive coordinator vacancies last offseason before the Rams promoted him from offensive assistant and passing game specialist to passing game coordinator. Schrager did not specify whether Scheelhaase’s buzz is in relation to offensive coordinator vacancies once again, but we believe this is the case. Rams QB Matthew Stafford led the league with 4,707 passing yards and 46 passing touchdowns this season. Stafford, of course, deserves a ...07 January 2026
The team now has 21 days to observe Cowing in practice before officially activating him from injured reserve. The move comes at the right time. 49ers WR Ricky Pearsall aggravated his knee injury in Week 17 and was unable to play in Week 18. Cowing is not a full-on replacement for Pearsall, if the latter player remains sidelined, but having another wide receiver available is at least mildly helpful. The team also signed LB Milo Eifler to a reserve/future contract.07 January 2026
Teams cannot yet request to interview LaFleur, but it seems as though he may have a few suitors when he is made available via the NFL’s interview rules. LaFleur has served as the Rams’ offensive coordinator since 2023. The offense boasts two top-four finishes in yards per play across the full NFL season during that span. They rank second this season (6.2) and lead the NFL in passing touchdowns (46).07 January 2026

Melton injured his knee in Week 18. Having been placed on injured reserve, he must now miss at least four games. The Packers only have four potential games left to play this season, so we will not see Melton until next season. The coaching staff switched Melton from wide receiver to cornerback last offseason, but he never once lined up on defense this year, instead logging 96 snaps on offense and 186 on special teams.07 January 2026

Prater appeared to re-injure his quad in Week 18’s meaningless game against the Jets and is now iffy for the Wild Card round against Jacksonville. The Bills could re-sign veteran journeyman K Michael Badgley, who spent time on the practice squad in December. Prater has converted 18 of his 20 field goal tries this season.07 January 2026
Kincaid should be able to suit up in the Wild Card round against the Jaguars if he can practice in some capacity on Thursday and Friday. Kincaid, who had three receptions for 48 yards last week against the Jets, could be a key player for Buffalo as they face the NFL’s most extreme pass-funnel defense. Jacksonville allows 8.7 tight end targets per game, the second highest mark in the league.07 January 2026
Allen played just one snap in a meaningless Week 18 against the Jets after struggling with a foot injury the week before. Allen, among the toughest NFL players in recent memory, should be fine for the Bills’ Wild Card game against the Jaguars. Jacksonville’s ability to stop the run could force Allen into more drop backs than usual. He’s had more than 30 pass attempts in a game six times in 2025.07 January 2026
Hamlin could return as soon as this week against the Jaguars in the Wild Card round. He’s been sidelined since early October with the pectoral injury. Hamlin would likely be a rotational player in the Buffalo secondary against the Jags. He had one tackle and zero interceptions before his pec injury.07 January 2026

Morris, fired by the Falcons after going 20-25 over three seasons, will join a bevy of former head coaches and coordinators in interviewing with the Cardinals, Titans, and Giants, who are reportedly “all in” on hiring former Ravens head coach John Harbaugh. Morris, 49, struggled with in-game decision making and was among the league’s most conservative fourth down decision makers during his three years in Atlanta. His defensive background would be appealing to any of these three teams after ...07 January 2026
Pitcher, 39, has garnered some head coaching interest in previous hiring cycles but has never been considered a leading candidate for any job. He would be a long shot to land the Browns head coaching job, though the team could fall back on Pitcher if other, more experienced candidates turn down one of the most thankless jobs in football. Pitcher is known for his work with quarterbacks — a key qualification for anyone who gets the head coaching gig in Cleveland. Pitcher once worked for the Colt ...07 January 2026
Though they’ll likely interview a few head coaching candidates, it looks like the Giants are ready to do what it takes to land Harbaugh after he was fired by the Ravens following 18 years at the helm. “Just about every team has interest in him (obviously), but the other that I heard is increasingly interested is the Falcons,” Hughes said. Harabugh would be tasked with making the right hires to develop Jaxson Dart, particularly as a passer. Even with Dart, Harbaugh would be entering a rebui ...07 January 2026
The Bills will enter the postseason without one of their main run stoppers. It’s a tough break for a Buffalo front seven that has been one of the softest against the run throughout the 2025 season, allowing the third highest yards per carry and the most rushing touchdowns. It sets up well for Travis Etienne in the Wild Card round against the Bills.07 January 2026
Rapoport added that a new Baltimore head coach would ideally “reach” Jackson and “get the absolute most” out of the two-time NFL MVP. Jackson, who appeared checked out and low-effort at time in 2025, will remain the centerpiece of the Ravens offense in the aftermath of John Harbaugh’s firing after 18 years at the helm. There was reportedly a rift between Jackson and Harbaugh in the months leading up to Harbaugh’s dismissal. Jackson in 2025 saw a significant statistical drop off from ...
