Link to storySeattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (oblique) was limited during practice Thursday, Jan. 22.
| Footballguys view: There's little doubt that Darnold is going to play in the NFC Championship Game against the Rams. The divisional rivals know each other well and split the season series. So long as Darnold takes care of the ball, Seattle can advance to the Super Bowl. |

New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (shoulder) fully participated in practice Thursday, Jan. 22.
| Footballguys view: Henderson can be a problem for the Broncos on Sunday. The rookie back can make a big play happen any time he touches the ball. Even splitting touches with Rhamondre Stevenson, Henderson could be a factor. |
New England Patriots WR Mack Hollins (abdomen) was limited during practice Thursday, Jan. 22.
| Footballguys view: Let's see if Hollins can get out there on Sunday against the Broncos. He's coming back from IR with this abdomen injury and not a lock to play. If he does play, Hollins will block (his forte) and be a deep threat for the Pats. |

New England Patriots TE Hunter Henry (non-injury) was limited during practice Thursday, Jan. 22.
| Footballguys view: Henry is a seasoned veteran getting some rest. He's good for the AFC Championship Game against the Broncos, and with their weakness covering tight ends he could have a big game. |

Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix (ankle) did not participate in practice Thursday, Jan. 22. RB J.K. Dobbins (foot), C Alex Forsyth (ankle) and WR Troy Franklin (hamstring) were limited during practice. WR Pat Bryant (concussion), OT Frank Crum (ankle), TE Lucas Krull (foot), LB Drew Sanders (ankle), S JL Skinner (quadriceps) and C Luke Wattenberg (shoulder) fully participated in practice.

Denver Broncos WR Pat Bryant (concussion) fully participated in practice Thursday, Jan. 22.
| Footballguys view: Good news for the Broncos here. Bryant was going to be a big part of their plan against the Bills but was concussed for the second time in about a month. He's been seen wearing a guardian cap in practice, and Bryant could wear one in the game to keep him better protected. |
Denver Broncos WR Troy Franklin (hamstring) was limited during practice Thursday, Jan. 22.
| Footballguys view: It's not a guarantee Franklin plays on Sunday. Speedy receivers can be bothered more than others by hamstring injuries. Let's see what his status is like on Friday. |
Denver Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins (foot) was limited during practice Thursday, Jan. 22.
| Footballguys view: Dobbins is trying to come back for the AFC Championship. When he initially injured his foot, reports indicated he could return for the Super Bowl. Dobbins is positive about his status, but the team will make that decision later in the week. |

Seattle Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III faces the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Championship Game, and in two meetings with the Rams in the regular season, Walker rushed for 167 yards and two touchdowns on 27 carries and caught six passes for 108 yards.
| Footballguys view: Walker is a key player for the Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game. We'll see what the Rams have in store to stop the powerful runner. Without Zach Charbonnet, Walker is going to get a heavy workload on Sunday. |
Seattle Seahawks TE AJ Barner faces the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Championship Game, and Barner recorded 14 receptions for 119 yards and a touchdown in the two meetings with the Rams in the regular season.
| Footballguys view: Barner is more accurately described as a not-so-secret weapon. The Rams are going to be ready for the Seahawks aerial attack, and that means they'll have a plan for Barner. |
Los Angeles Rams RB Kyren Williams has caught at least three passes in four of his last five games, including the playoffs, after recording three or more receptions just twice in his first 14 games this season.
| Footballguys view: Williams can beat you as a runner or receiver out of the backfield. The Seahawks will have their hands full with Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, so getting some targets for Williams just makes sense. |
Houston Texans WR Tank Dell (knee) is expected to be ready for offseason activities, according to general manager Nick Caserio. 'He worked very hard,' Caserio said. 'I think our performance group, they do a really good job. I would anticipate him being available for the offseason. Knowing Tank, he's probably cautiously optimistic that he's going to be able to go out there and be Tank Dell.'
| Footballguys view: Dell is coming back from a major knee injury suffered in the playoffs last year. He's an explosive player when healthy, and Dell gives CJ Stroud another dangerous weapon to target. |

Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua faces the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game, and Nacua had 19 receptions for 300 yards and two touchdowns in the two regular season meetings with Seattle.
| Footballguys view: Nacua is a nightmare for :checks notes: everyone in the NFL. Expect him to be a huge part of the Rams' passing attack (as per usual) in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday. |

New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (shoulder) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Jan. 21.
| Footballguys view: The Broncos struggled to slow down James Cook in the Divisional Round. They'll have their hands full with Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson in the AFC Championship on Sunday. |
New England Patriots TE Hunter Henry (non-injury) was limited during practice Wednesday, Jan. 21.
| Footballguys view: Historically, the Broncos struggle to cover tight ends and Henry is one of the best. Expect QB Drake Maye to target him early and often against the Broncos in the AFC Championship on Sunday. |

Denver Broncos WR Troy Franklin (hamstring) was limited during practice Wednesday, Jan. 21.
| Footballguys view: Franklin was out there, but a hamstring injury can really slow down a speedy receiver. Likely without Pat Bryant (concussion), it would help if Franklin can be ready for Sunday's AFC Championship against the Patriots. |
Denver Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins (foot) was limited during practice Wednesday, Jan. 21.
| Footballguys view: Getting Dobbins out there would be huge for the Broncos, especially with Jarrett Stidham starting at quarterback. We'll see if Dobbins can be a full participant by the end of the week. |

Link to storyHouston Texans TE Dalton Schultz's (calf) calf injury is not expected to be a long-term issue, according to general manager Nick Caserio.
| Footballguys view: Good news for the Texans here. Schultz is a security blanket for CJ Stroud, and he'll continue in that role this upcoming season. He's a TE2 from a fantasy perspective. |

Link to storySan Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk is unlikely to play again for the team again, according to comments made by general manager John Lynch on Wednesday, Jan. 21.'I think it's safe to say he's played his last snap with the 49ers,' Lynch told reporters.
| Footballguys view: Nobody is surprised by this after the 49ers put Aiyuk on the reserve/left squad list. Future guarantees in his contract are voided, and we'll see how the 49ers choose to resolve this issue with the talented yet oft-injured receiver. |

Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Zac Robinson interviewed for the offensive coordinator vacancy of the Pittsburgh Steelers for a second time on Wednesday, Jan. 21.
| Footballguys view: Robinson is a Sean McVay disciple, but his offense did not pop with the Falcons. Perhaps that was the bad quarterback play, and it looks like the Steelers are quite interested. Running a McVay/Shanahan system, Robinson would emphasize wide-zone concepts and the ground game on offense. |

New England Patriots WR Mack Hollins (abdomen) will not return to practice on Wednesday, Jan. 21, according to head coach Mike Vrabel.
| Footballguys view: Hollins landed on IR in late December with this injury. Vrabel said "I can't be certain" when asked if Hollins would be able to play in the AFC Championship Game. Without Hollins, the team will turn to Kayshon Boutte as their downfield threat. |

New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) continues his rehab from a torn anterior cruciate ligament. General manager Joe Schoen said Tuesday, Jan. 20 that the team expects Nabers to be ready for the start of training camp, but 'things can change.' The receiver said he'll be ready when his body is ready, and he didn't have a specific date in mind.
Link to storyBuffalo Bills QB Josh Allen (foot) might need a foot procedure in the offseason, according to general manager Brandon Beane.
| Footballguys view: The operation would not keep him out long enough to jeopardize his participation in OTAs. However, the Bills might choose to ease him into action during the offseason. After years of falling short with Sean McDermott, Allen is looking to make (and win) a Super Bowl for the first time in his career. |

Updating previous reports, Houston Texans RB Joe Mixon (foot) missed the entire season with a medical condition that didn't improve, according to general manager Nick Caserio. 'He wasn't doing anything irresponsible. It was a freak thing,' Caserio said.
| Footballguys view: Reports indicate Mixon got some treatment away from the facility, and that could lean the Texans to moving on from the veteran back. His future in Houston is unknown at this time, but Mixon is under contract with a $10.5 million cap hit and $2 million in dead money. |
