Link to storyHouston 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. |

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. |
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. |

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. |
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. |

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile has been requested for an interview by the Miami Dolphins for their head coaching vacancy.
Link to storySeattle 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. |
Houston Texans WR Nico Collins (concussion) remains in the concussion protocol, and it's uncertain if he'll be ready for the AFC divisional round matchup against the New England Patriots.
| Footballguys view: He was carted off Monday, Jan. 12 in the AFC Wild Card game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, while WR Justin Watson (concussion) also left, and is in the protocol. 'We'll take it one day at a time and see how the guys are doing,' head coach DeMeco Ryans said Tuesday, Jan. 13. 'We'll give the guys their time to rest up and heal properly.' |

San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (Achilles) will have surgery for his torn right Achilles tendon on Wednesday, Jan. 14. He suffered the injury in the team's NFC Wild Card game victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.
| Footballguys view: Kittle now is looking at a return during the 2026 season. It's unlikely the veteran tight end will be ready for Week 1. Instead, Kittle may have to miss a month or two to begin the 2026 season as he recovers from this major injury in his age-33 season. |
