Steelers | Aaron Rodgers isn't willing to discuss future Tue Jan 13, 01:32 AM
Monday night's playoff loss may have been the last game for quarterback Aaron Rodgers. We won't know the answer for now. In his post-game press conference after the Steelers fell to the Texans, 30-6, Rodgers wasn't ready to talk about the future. "I'm not gonna make any emotional decisions," Rodgers said. He was then asked whether he wanted to continue to play for the Steelers. "I'm not gonna talk about that," Rodgers said.
| Footballguys view: If it was Rodgers' last game, he finished with 17 completions in 33 attempts, for 146 yards and an interception that was returned for a touchdown by the Texans. He also had a fumble returned for a touchdown. Will his last pass be a pick-six? Rodgers will be a free agent in March. He has said he may have another option or two if he doesn't return to Pittsburgh. Of course, the first question in Pittsburgh is whether coach Mike Tomlin will be back. If not, it's hard to imagine Rodgers being back, either. |

Steelers | Mike Tomlin not ready to discuss his future Tue Jan 13, 01:29 AM
The Steelers have finished their 2025 season with another postseason loss. They haven't won a playoff game in nine years. After the game, coach Mike Tomlin was asked about his future. He didn't shoot it down. He didn't brush it off. He didn't walk away. He provided an answer -- one that will serve only to increase speculation that he possibly will choose to walk away after 19 seasons on the job. "I'm not even in that mindset as I sit here tonight," Tomlin told reporters. "I'm more in the mindset of what transpired in this stadium, and certainly what we did and didn't do. Not a big-picture mentality as I sit here tonight."
| Footballguys view: As PFT's Mike Florio suggested, some believe Tomlin has an offer in his back pocket for a TV job in 2026. We'll likely find out sooner than later what he decides to do. |
Falcons | Mike McDaniel completes interview for HC Tue Jan 13, 12:41 AM
Free agent head coach Mike McDaniel has completed an interview with the Atlanta Falcons of the team's head coaching vacancy on Monday, Jan. 12.
| Footballguys view: McDaniel was an offensive assistant with the Falcons from 2015-16, which included being a part of the staff during the team's Super Bowl run. Newly announced president of football -- Matt Ryan -- was the franchise's quarterback at the time and named league MVP for the 2016 season. In addition to interviewing with the Lions for their offensive coordinator opening, McDaniel is scheduled to meet with the Ravens as a head coaching candidate. |
Bills | Matt Prater might practice more this week Tue Jan 13, 12:40 AM
Buffalo Bills PK Matt Prater (quadriceps) 'is in a good spot', head coach Sean McDermott said Monday, Jan. 12, as he recovers from a quadriceps injury. Prater is expected to practice somewhat similar to last week, though he might increase reps a little more this week.
| Footballguys view: Prater was limited to field goals and extra point attempts in the AFC Wild Card game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Punter Mitch Wishnowsky handled kickoffs. We'll be watching for more. |

Giants | John Harbaugh, Chris Mara meet informally Tue Jan 13, 12:39 AM
Free-agent head coach John Harbaugh and New York Giants executive Chris Mara met for lunch and an informal meeting at the coach's house. Both sides say Harbaugh remains very interested in the Giants' head coaching vacancy.
| Footballguys view: As Profootballtalk.com noted, the news comes at a time when rumors are swirling that the Giants have already made an unofficial offer to Harbaugh, in the range of $20 million per year. Technically, GM Joe Schoen is running the search for a new New York coach. But the Giants are a family-run business. And Chris Mara, the brother of primary owner John Mara, can do whatever he wants. Including letting Harbaugh know that the Giants are willing to make him a formal offer, if/when he's willing to accept it. |
Bills | Dalton Kincaid expected to be fine Tue Jan 13, 12:38 AM
Buffalo Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (undisclosed) was wearing a walking boot after the Wild Card playoff game, but head coach Sean McDermott said Kincaid should be fine for the Divisional Round game.
| Footballguys view: Great news considering the potential outcomes. The tight end has missed five regular-season contests in total due to various injuries, including to his oblique and hamstring. Still, Kincaid has remained as one of the Bills' top targets in the passing game, finishing the regular season second on the team in yards receiving (571) and first in touchdowns receiving with five. During Buffalo's win over the Jaguars in the Wild Card Round, he recorded three receptions for 28 yards and a touchdown. We'll see if he's ready with a short turnaround to a Saturday game in Denver. |

Bills | Tyrell Shavers being evaluated Tue Jan 13, 12:37 AM
Buffalo Bills WR Tyrell Shavers (knee) is being evaluated after injuring his knee during the Wild Card playoff game, according to head coach Sean McDermott.
| Footballguys view: Shavers got hurt while returning a punt in the second quarter. He stayed down on the field after the play and was clearly in pain, but he was able to return to action. The 26-year-old wide receiver has appeared in every game for the Bills since the start of the regular season. We'll see if he can keep that streak going on a short week, with the Bills playing in Denver on Saturday. |
Steelers | Pittsburgh falls apart late in Wild Card loss Tue Jan 13, 12:15 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers connected on 17 of his 33 passing attempts for 146 yards, zero touchdowns, and an interception in a loss to the Houston Texans on Wild Card Weekend. Rodgers was sacked four times and fumbled twice, losing one. RB Jaylen Warren had 12 carries for 43 yards; he added a four-yard reception. RB Kenneth Gainwell picked up 20 yards on six carries, and he also caught four passes for 26 yards. WR DK Metcalf had two receptions for 42 yards; he was targeted five times. WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling logged 26 yards on three receptions. WR Adam Thielen posted two receptions for 25 yards. WR Calvin Austin was held to three catches and eight yards. TE Pat Freiermuth had an 18-yard reception for his lone catch, while TE Jonnu Smith turned two receptions into minus-one yard. LB Patrick Queen led the club with 10 tackles, including seven solo. CB Brandin Echols was credited with three stops and had an interception in the loss.
| Footballguys view: Unlike a heart-stopping fourth-quarter rally against Baltimore that earned them their first AFC North title since 2020, this time there was no late-game magic from Rodgers and the Steelers. Instead, Mike Tomlin's postseason losing streak hit seven, tying Marvin Lewis of the Bengals for the longest playoff skid by an NFL coach. While the NFL's longest-tenured coach is all but assured of returning for a 20th season if he wants, Pittsburgh heads into yet another offseason likely searching for another quarterback and answers to a playoff drought whose weight seems to grow by the year. |

Texans | Houston rides dominant defense to Divisional Round Tue Jan 13, 12:15 AM
Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud completed 21 of 32 passes for 250 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in a 30-6 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Wild Card Weekend. Stroud also fumbled five times, losing two. RB Woody Marks ran the ball 19 times for 112 yards and a touchdown. RB Nick Chubb had 10 carries for 48 yards. WR Christian Kirk tallied eight receptions (on nine targets) for 144 yards and a score. WR Jayden Higgins finished with three catches for 39 yards, and WR Xavier Hutchinson managed 21 yards on two grabs. WR Jaylin Noel was targeted once but did not have a catch. TE Dalton Schultz caught three of four targeted passes for 12 yards. S Jalen Pitre had a team-high seven tackles (five solo), including two tackles for loss. DT Sheldon Rankins had 1 1/2 sacks and a fumble recovery that he returned for a score. S Calen Bullock had three solo tackles and an interception that was taken back for a touchdown.
| Footballguys view: The Texans will take on the Patriots in a Divisional Playoff game Sunday afternoon. Houston heads to New England as the hottest team in the NFL with a quarterback who will be eager for a chance at a reprieve and a defense that can keep a game close against any opponent. The injury status of Nico Collins, who suffered a concussion in Pittsburgh, will merit our attention. |

Updating a previous report, Houston Texans WR Nico Collins (concussion) has been downgraded from questionable to out for the remainder of the AFC Wild Card game against the Pittsburgh Steelers due to concussion. He finished the game with three receptions for 21 yards on five targets.

Texans | Justin Watson out due to concussion Tue Jan 13, 12:07 AM
Houston Texans WR Justin Watson (concussion) suffered a concussion in the AFC Wild Card game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and he will not return.

Texans | Nico Collins carted off for evaluation Mon Jan 12, 10:34 PM
Houston Texans WR Nico Collins (concussion) left the AFC Wild Card game against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the second half due to a concussion.
| Footballguys view: Collins needed to be redirected by the training staff to the sidelines, as he was confused, per the telecast. The wideout was taken to the blue medical tent before being carted off. The Texans subsequently ruled him out. |

Bills | Gabe Davis suffered a torn ACL vs. Jaguars Mon Jan 12, 04:34 PM
Bills HC Sean McDermott told reporters that WR Gabe Davis suffered a torn ACL vs. the Jaguars.
| Footballguys view: With Davis out, Keon Coleman and Tyrell Shavers could be asked to play greater roles against the Broncos on Saturday. Remember, the Bills were without RB Ty Johnson (ankle) in Jacksonville, and the team placed wide receiver Joshua Palmer on IR last week. In addition, CBS Sports' Tracy Wolfson reported that Shavers (knee) got banged up. None of this is great news for a team playing on a short week. |

Patriots | D'Ernest Johnson let go Mon Jan 12, 04:13 PM
New England Patriots RB D'Ernest Johnson was released Monday, Jan. 12.
| Footballguys view: Johnson joined New England's practice squad midseason and was signed to the 53-man roster in mid-December. He appeared in seven regular-season games for the club. But he played just two special teams snaps in the playoff victory over the Chargers on Sunday night. |

Los Angeles Rams TE Terrance Ferguson (hamstring) has a good chance to be available for the Divisional Round playoff game, according to head coach Sean McVay.
| Footballguys view: Ferguson missed the last two games with a hamstring injury that popped up on Friday before the finale against the Arizona Cardinals, but he's making progress, too. Ferguson's return would give the Rams even more talent and depth at an already rich position, with Tyler Higbee back and Colby Parkinson playing well. |
Rams | Kevin Dotson has chance to play in playoff game Mon Jan 12, 04:02 PM
Los Angeles Rams OG Kevin Dotson (ankle) did not play in the Wild Card playoff game, but head coach Sean McVay said he is optimistic that Dotson will be available for the Divisional Round playoff game.
| Footballguys view: Dotson has missed the last three games with an ankle injury suffered in the Rams' Week 16 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Justin Dedich has been filling in at right guard but Dotson is arguably the Rams' best offensive lineman when healthy. |

Link to story Packers | Tucker Kraft ahead of schedule Mon Jan 12, 01:50 PM
Green Bay Packers TE Tucker Kraft (knee) said he is ahead of schedule in his recovery from a torn anterior cruciate ligament.
| Footballguys view: The Packers usually require nine months of recovery for players coming off ACL repairs. Kraft will be at 10 months come Week 1 and, as he said, "hopefully bulletproofed by then." At the time of his injury, in the eighth game of the season, Kraft was second on the Packers in receptions with 32, and his 15.3 yards per catch was uncommonly high for a tight end. He led the team in touchdown receptions with six and was TE2 for fantasy purposes through Week 8. We'll be watching his progress closely. |

The Patriots will host the winner of Monday night's game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Houston Texans at home on Sunday. Gonzalez will have to make it through the five-step protocol to play. |

Los Angeles Rams CB Ahkello Witherspoon (shoulder) will be placed on the Reserve/Injured list because of the shoulder injury he suffered during the Wild Card playoff game, according to head coach Sean McVay.
| Footballguys view: Witherspoon began the season as a starter for the Rams, but he has played only seven games in a secondary that has been repeatedly exposed as the defense's weakest link, with or without his presence. Cobie Durant moved into Witherspoon's starting spot after Week 2, and he kept the spot after Witherspoon's return. Durant had an early interception in the Rams' win at Carolina. The Rams play in Chicago on Sunday. |

Packers | Zach Tom to have surgery Mon Jan 12, 01:03 PM
Green Bay Packers OT Zach Tom (knee) said he will undergo surgery to repair a partially torn patellar tendon.
| Footballguys view: A six-month recovery timeline from surgery should mean Tom is back for training camp, but he will miss the entire offseason workout program. |
Packers | Micah Parsons expects early return Mon Jan 12, 12:40 PM
Green Bay Packers DE Micah Parsons (knee) said he's targeting Week 1 to be ready to return from a torn anterior cruciate ligament. However, he said Week 3 or Week 4 is more realistic.
| Footballguys view: The Packers will eagerly await Parsons' return next season. As Yahoo Sports noted, without the star pass rusher, the team went 0-5 down the stretch. The team's typically excellent defense crumbled without Parsons, giving up at least 30 points in three of its last five games. Over that stretch, the Packers also experienced two fourth-quarter collapses against the rival Bears. We'll monitor Parsons' recovery over the coming months. |

Giants | Lou Anarumo will virtually meet with Giants Mon Jan 12, 12:39 PM
Indianapolis Colts defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo will have a virtual interview with the New York Giants Monday, Jan. 12.

McCarthy is reportedly high on the Giants' wish list along with former Cleveland Browns head coach Keven Stefanski and John Harbaugh, who was let go by the Baltimore Ravens last week after 18 seasons. |
Titans | Raheem Morris interviewing with Titans Mon Jan 12, 12:38 PM
Former Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris is interviewing for the Tennessee Titans head coaching vacancy Monday, Jan. 12.

Morris, who was fired on Sunday after two seasons as the head coach in Atlanta, might also make a different move. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network floated the possibility of Morris making a move to the broadcast world on Saturday. |
Bills | Gabe Davis to have MRI Mon Jan 12, 12:36 PM
Buffalo Bills WR Gabe Davis (knee) will have an MRI Monday, Jan. 12. His knee was so swollen that an initial diagnosis was difficult.
| Footballguys view: We'll be watching for more on Davis after the MRI. But even if it's not a season-ending injury, it'd be nearly impossible to imagine the six-year pro making a return in time for the AFC Divisional Round, as the Bills are set to play the Broncos in just five days in Denver. |

Rams | Matthew Stafford good to go Mon Jan 12, 11:18 AM
Updating previous reports, Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford (finger) suffered a sprained finger in the Wild Card Round but will be good to go for the Divisional Round, according to head coach Sean McVay.
| Footballguys view: Stafford had a finger on his right throwing hand bent backward late in the first half of Saturday's win over the Panthers, but he was still able to finish the game. According to USA Today, Stafford's biggest hurdle heading into this divisional game is the Chicago weather, where early forecasts call for a high of 16 degrees and a low of two degrees. The wind chill will make it feel closer to -8 degrees. We'll monitor the finger throughout the week. |

Packers | Matt LaFleur extension talks coming Mon Jan 12, 09:27 AM
Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur is expected to have extension talks in the coming days as the 2026 season is the final year on his contract.
| Footballguys view: Packers president Ed Policy said last June, after taking over the team, that he would prefer not to have a lame-duck coach. The Packers have gone 76-40-1 in the regular season under LaFleur and have made the playoffs in six of his seven seasons. But they have not reached the Super Bowl and have not been to a conference championship game since the 2020 season, the second of back-to-back appearances in LaFleur's first two years. We'll follow up as needed. |
Bengals | Trey Hendrickson unlikely to return Mon Jan 12, 02:42 AM
Cincinnati Bengals DE Trey Hendrickson is not expected to be back with the Bengals in 2026, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

Falcons | Atlanta won't pay top dollar for Kyle Pitts Mon Jan 12, 02:24 AM
Atlanta Falcons TE Kyle Pitts won't get "top tight end money" from the Falcons in free agency, in the opinion of ESPN's Dan Graziano.
| Footballguys view: Graziano further notes that WR Drake London is eligible for an extension, and Pitts hasn't been consistently healthy or consistently great since his rookie year. That said, Pitts finished with 88 receptions for 928 yards and five touchdowns. It was Pitts' best season since that inaugural campaign in 2021. We'll be watching this one closely. |

Packers | Romeo Doubs done in Green Bay? Mon Jan 12, 01:54 AM
Green Bay Packers WR Romeo Doubs could depart via free agency in the offseason, in the opinion of ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, who "wouldn't be surprised" to see Doubs with a new team in 2026.
| Footballguys view: The Packers discussed Doubs in trade talks with other teams last offseason and have yet to extend him. They've used extremely high draft picks on receivers in recent years, including Matthew Golden. Doubs has been a reliable target for Jordan Love, but it doesn't sound like the Packers will engage in a bidding war. |
Jaguars | Travis Etienne facing an uncertain future with Jacksonville Mon Jan 12, 01:22 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Travis Etienne "looks as if he's not in the Jags' future plans," in the opinion of ESPN's Dan Graziano.
| Footballguys view: As Graziano notes, the team did not re-sign Etienne ahead of his impending free agency this offseason, and RBs Bhayshul Tuten and LeQuint Allen were both drafted by new GM James Gladstone. Graziano does add, however, that the team could potentially try to bring back Etienne on a short-term deal. Expect other teams to have interest. |
