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. |

| Footballguys view: Smith-Njigba is one of the best in the game. He was just getting some rest earlier this week, but he's good to go for the Divisional Round game against the 49ers on Saturday. |

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.
