Link to story Seahawks | Sam Darnold listed as limited Thu Jan 22, 07:24 PM
Seattle 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. |

Patriots | TreVeyon Henderson fully practices Thu Jan 22, 06:10 PM
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. |
Patriots | Limited practice for Mack Hollins Thu Jan 22, 05:58 PM
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. |

Patriots | Hunter Henry remains limited Thu Jan 22, 05:53 PM
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. |

Broncos | Pat Bryant upgraded Thursday Thu Jan 22, 05:41 PM
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. |
Broncos | Troy Franklin limited again Thu Jan 22, 05:39 PM
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. |
Broncos | J.K. Dobbins listed as limited Thu Jan 22, 05:38 PM
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. |

Ravens | Baltimore hire Jesse Minter as new HC Thu Jan 22, 05:18 PM
Los Angeles Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter agreed to terms with the Baltimore Ravens Thursday, Jan. 22, to become their new head coach.
| Footballguys view: Reports indicate that Minter was a favorite of Lamar Jackson. Minter will work with the defense, but his plan for Jackson will be paramount for their success. To run the offense, keep an eye on Joe Brady (Bills) and Kliff Kingsbury (formerly of the Commanders). |

Bills | Brian Daboll interviews with Buffalo Thu Jan 22, 02:02 PM
Former New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll interviewed for the head coaching vacancy of the Buffalo Bills on Thursday, Jan. 22.
| Footballguys view: Daboll did great things with Josh Allen when he was previously with the Bills as their OC. He's getting plenty of interest as an offensive coordinator this offseason, and Daboll did get interest from the Titans for their head coaching vacancy. Going back to Buffalo, this time as the head coach, might be the best landing spot. |
Ravens | Joe Brady completes interview Thu Jan 22, 01:55 PM
Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady interviewed for the head coaching vacancy of the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday, Jan. 22.
| Footballguys view: The Ravens are looking everywhere for their next head coach. Brady makes a lot of sense for them based on the work he's done with Josh Allen. In fact, Brady just taking over for Sean McDermott in Buffalo makes sense too. |
Browns | Jesse Minter cancels second interview Thu Jan 22, 01:50 PM
Los Angeles Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter informed the Cleveland Browns he was withdrawing his name from their head coaching search.
| Footballguys view: Minter is likely the favorite to get the head coaching job for the Baltimore Ravens, and that's a much better landing spot. The Browns have now had Minter and Mike McDaniel (now the Chargers OC) withdraw their names from consideration. |
Eagles | Declan Doyle sought for PHI interview Thu Jan 22, 12:48 PM
Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Declan Doyle was requested for an interview with the Philadelphia Eagles for their offensive coordinator post.
| Footballguys view: It's not a lateral move for Doyle if he were to take this job as he doesn't call plays with the Bears. With the breakout season from Caleb Williams, the Eagles would be hoping to get the same from Jalen Hurts in 2026. |
Seahawks | Kenneth Walker III could run wild Thu Jan 22, 12:20 PM
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. |
Seahawks | AJ Barner a secret weapon Thu Jan 22, 12:20 PM
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. |
Rams | Kyren Williams showing off versatility Thu Jan 22, 12:20 PM
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. |
Texans | Tank Dell expected back for offseason program Thu Jan 22, 12:20 PM
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.

Patriots | TreVeyon Henderson takes part in practice Wed Jan 21, 06:52 PM
New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (shoulder) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Jan. 21.

Patriots | Hunter Henry limited Wed Jan 21, 06:44 PM
New England Patriots TE Hunter Henry (non-injury) was limited during practice Wednesday, Jan. 21.

Broncos | Limited practice for Troy Franklin Wed Jan 21, 06:33 PM
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. |
