Chargers | Omarion Hampton remains sidelined Thu Jan 8, 06:33 PM
Los Angeles Chargers RB Omarion Hampton (ankle) did not participate in practice Thursday, Jan. 8.
| Footballguys view: That's two DNPs for Hampton before the Wild Card Round. It doesn't give us confidence that he'll be able to play against the Patriots on Sunday night. Circle back to see if he can get out there on Friday, even if he's limited. The Chargers will turn to Kimani Vidal if Hampton can't play. |

49ers | Christian McCaffrey returns to practice Thu Jan 8, 06:14 PM
San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (non-injury) fully participated in practice Thursday, Jan. 8.
| Footballguys view: McCaffrey was just getting some rest as he usually does during the week of practice. He's good to go for Sunday's game against the Eagles. The best chance of the 49ers winning is a big day from McCaffrey. |

49ers | Limited practice for George Kittle Thu Jan 8, 06:11 PM
San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (ankle) was limited during practice Thursday, Jan. 8.
| Footballguys view: Kittle's a seasoned veteran, so we're not going to get too concerned that he's not a full participant on Thursday. He made it through Week 18 without any setback, and the team is limiting him to get their superstar tight end as close to full strength as possible. He should be out there against the Eagles on Sunday. |

Texans | Jawhar Jordan misses practice Thu Jan 8, 05:39 PM
Houston Texans RB Jawhar Jordan (ankle) did not participate in practice Thursday, Jan. 8.
| Footballguys view: Jordan suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 18. He's unlikely to play on Monday night against the Steelers. That means Woody Marks and Nick Chubb will dominate the backfield touches in the Wild Card Round. |

Colts | Rookie wall for Tyler Warren? Thu Jan 8, 05:23 PM
Indianapolis Colts TE Tyler Warren averaged 57.6 receiving yards per game through Week 9 of the 2025 season compared to 37.4 yards from Week 10 onward.
| Footballguys view: Warren's numbers did go down, but how much was the 'rookie wall' and how much was Daniel Jones going down in Week 14? He's a fantastic player who defenses had to gameplan for, so we're not worried about Warren taking off in 2026. Who is throwing him passes will be a different story. |
Eagles | Dallas Goedert a limited participant Thu Jan 8, 05:20 PM
Philadelphia Eagles TE Dallas Goedert (knee) was limited during practice Thursday, Jan. 8.
| Footballguys view: The veteran is getting limited work this week. That's fine, as he should be ready to go against the 49ers in the Wild Card Round on Sunday. |

Green Bay Packers WR Matthew Golden (Achilles) practiced in full all week and is no longer listed on the injury report.
| Footballguys view: Against the Bears in the Wild Card Round, Golden will be out there at times as a deep threat for Jordan Love. With three full practices this week, he's as close to full strength as he's going to be. Because of his reduced role, proceed with caution when considering him for DFS purposes. |

| Footballguys view: Limited may be all we can get from Kincaid as he continues to deal with this knee injury. You can move the ball regularly against the Jaguars with a tight end, so Kincaid could have a big game if he's able to play on Sunday. |

Ravens | Robert Saleh requested to interview with Baltimore Thu Jan 8, 03:04 PM
San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh has been requested by the Baltimore Ravens for their head coaching vacancy.
| Footballguys view: Saleh has four teams interested (for now) in his ability as a head coach. Things fell apart with the Jets, but that's just that organization. Ownership matters, and the Ravens have one of the best owners in football. That will likely impact Saleh's decision if he's offered the job. |

Ravens | Vance Joseph to interview with Ravens Thu Jan 8, 11:59 AM
Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph will interview for the Baltimore Ravens head coaching position Thursday, Jan. 8.
| Footballguys view: Joseph failed his first time around as head coach of the Broncos, but that's because he didn't have any power. Now, he won't have a GM telling him what to do at his next stop. Joseph has learned from Sean Payton, and he's seen as one of the top coaching candidates in the NFL. Many want to know if quarterback guru Davis Webb (Broncos), who is also getting some head coaching interest (Raiders), would come with Joseph. |
Dolphins | Mike McDaniel fired Thu Jan 8, 10:32 AM
Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel was fired Thursday, Jan. 8.
| Footballguys view: Dolphins' owner Stephen Ross loves McDaniel, but a recent meeting had the billionaire confused about the direction of his team. Instead of keeping the status quo, Ross decided to fire McDaniel (who is already getting OC interest from the Lions). Even with a late surge this season, the 1-6 start to begin 2025 seemed to have doomed the young head coach. He'll likely get another shot eventually, but McDaniel may have to go back to being an OC for a year or so. |
