Seattle Seahawks TE AJ Barner (hip) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Jan. 14.

Footballguys view: Barner is in line for a few targets per game every time he's out there. He also can get a sneaky touchdown here and there. He's good for the Divisional Round game on Saturday against the 49ers.

Rams | Terrance Ferguson takes part in practice Wed Jan 14, 06:29 PM

Los Angeles Rams TE Terrance Ferguson (hamstring) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Jan. 14. The Rams only held a walkthrough Wednesday, so this is an estimation.

Footballguys view: Ferguson missed the Wild Card Game against the Panthers, but he's trending to get out there on Sunday against the Bears. Having him on the field just gives Matthew Stafford another dangerous weapon in the passing game...and in the red zone.

Los Angeles Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter interviewed for the head coaching vacancy of the Baltimore Ravens on Wednesday, Jan. 14.

Footballguys view: Reports indicate QB Lamar Jackson may like Minter, so he could become a favorite as Baltimore looks all over the place. They haven't hired a coach in some time, so it's wise for the team to consider all options. Minter might be a favorite here.

Houston Texans WR Nico Collins (concussion) was not seen at practice on Wednesday, Jan. 14.

Footballguys view: Collins was concussed against the Steelers on Monday night. It seems unlikely that we'll see him in the Divisional Round against the Patriots. That makes Christian Kirk an option as the WR1 for the Texans.

Footballguys view: In addition to the Steelers, Scheelhaase has drawn interest from three other teams (Ravens, Raiders, Browns). Scheelhaase is known as a fast riser in coaching circles, and the work he's done with Matthew Stafford is outstanding. A former college quarterback, Scheelhaase is only 35 years old.

Ravens | Jim Schwartz interviews with Baltimore Wed Jan 14, 01:37 PM

The Baltimore Ravens have completed an interview with Cleveland Browns defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz for their head coaching vacancy.

Footballguys view: The Ravens are leaving no stone unturned as they look for a new head coach. Schwartz has previous head-coaching experience, and he's known as a great defensive coordinator. He has interest from the Browns and the Ravens so far this offseason.

Falcons | Atlanta to interview Antonio Pierce for HC vacancy Wed Jan 14, 01:26 PM

The Atlanta Falcons will interview former Las Vegas Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce for their head coaching vacancy.

Footballguys view: Fired a year ago after one season as the Raiders head coach, Pierce has previously worked with Falcons President Matt Ryan at CBS. Pierce is known as a player's coach, and his previous relationship with Ryan could help land him the job. He seems to be a long-shot for any open spot after his one season with the hapless Raiders ended with a 4-13 record.

Jaguars | Travis Hunter will remain two-way player Wed Jan 14, 12:44 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars CB/WR Travis Hunter will remain a two-way player in 2026, according to general manager James Gladstone. Hunter ended with 28 catches for 298 yards and a touchdown and 15 tackles and three pass breakups. He played 67% of the team's offensive snaps and 36% of the defensive snaps before his season-ending knee injury Oct. 30. Hunter has been rehabbing since undergoing surgery to repair a torn lateral collateral ligament in his right knee Nov. 11.

Footballguys view: Hunter did flash on both sides of the ball, but he was banged up and missed half of his rookie season. One has to wonder how far a stacked Jaguars team could have gone in 2025 if Hunter was healthy. The two-way play is fun, but it might not be the best plan for the team if Hunter keeps getting banged up.

Steelers | Aaron Rodgers unlikely back in PIT Wed Jan 14, 12:42 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers is unlikely to return to the Steelers, according to team owner Art Rooney II. 'Aaron came here to play for Mike (Tomlin). So it would most likely affect his decision.'

Footballguys view: Tomlin stepped down from coaching the Steelers this week, so Rodgers is done with Pittsburgh. Is he done playing? Rodgers may end up retiring after 20 years in the NFL, but after some time he might reconsider. Get ready for "Rodgers Watch" again, the 2026 version.

Steelers | Mike Tomlin taking a break Wed Jan 14, 12:39 PM

Former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin indicated he wasn't interested in coaching right now and wanted to spend time with his family, according to Steelers owner Art Rooney II.

Footballguys view: Several teams would be interested in Tomlin if he wanted to continue coaching. We imagine he will take some time away and then reconsider. It's a guarantee that Tomlin will be among the top coaching candidates available a year from now.

Steelers | Adam Thielen retires Wed Jan 14, 11:25 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers WR Adam Thielen announced his retirement Wednesday, Jan. 14.

Footballguys view: Undrafted out of Minnesota State in 2013, Thielen spent most of his career with the Vikings. He finishes his pro career with 704 receptions for 8,497 yards and 64 touchdowns. At his best, Thielen was a top-10 fantasy receiver three times between 2017-2020.

Dolphins | Anthony Campanile requested for MIA meeting Wed Jan 14, 11:24 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile has been requested for an interview by the Miami Dolphins for their head coaching vacancy.

Footballguys view: What a year Campanile's defense had in Jacksonville. He was previously the linebackers coach with the Dolphins for a few seasons, so the team knows him well. The Dolphins need a reboot on the defensive side of the ball, and they need to figure out their quarterback situation (first and foremost) on the offensive side of the ball.

Seahawks | Elijah Arroyo could play Saturday Wed Jan 14, 11:24 AM

Seattle Seahawks TE Elijah Arroyo (knee) might play in the NFC Divisional Round Game against the San Francisco 49ers Saturday, Jan. 17. He missed the final four games of the regular season, finishing on the Reserve/Injured list. 'Elijah is looking good,' head coach Mike Macdonald said. 'He's a possibility about coming back for this game.'

Footballguys view: Arroyo was placed on IR after injuring his knee in Week 14. The rookie second-round pick is a move tight end and a threat after the catch. It seems like he'll be ready as a rotational player in the Divisional Round.
