Link to story Ravens | Zay Flowers' status TBD for Divisional Round Mon Jan 13, 03:04 PM
Updating an ongoing story, Baltimore Ravens WR Zay Flowers (knee) is in 'we'll see mode' ahead of the Divisional Round at the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, Jan. 19, according to head coach John Harbaugh, adding the team will see if Flowers is practicing later in the week before making a decision.
| Footballguys view: That doesn't sound too optimistic. Not having Flowers would be a blow, but not one that the Ravens offense is ill-equipped to overcome. The Bills do have tight end stopper Matt Milano back, but he can't cover Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely at the same time, and Rashod Bateman has been making impact plays downfield all season. We'll be monitoring this situation all week. |

Lions | David Montgomery will have role in first playoff game Mon Jan 13, 01:21 PM
Detroit Lions RB David Montgomery (knee) is expected to have a role during the team's first playoff game in the NFC Divisional Round as he makes a return from an MCL sprain, head coach Dan Campbell said Monday, Jan. 13.
| Footballguys view: How big the role will be and how effective Montgomery will be is to be determined. Jahmyr Gibbs is still the most valuable running back in any playoff fantasy format after he almost single-handedly vaulted the Lions to the #1 seed against the Vikings in the season finale. |

Browns | Klint Kubiak speaks with Browns Mon Jan 13, 12:44 PM
New Orleans Saints offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak interviewed with the Cleveland Browns for their offensive coordinator vacancy Monday, Jan. 13.
| Footballguys view: Kubiak was the toast of the league after two games when the Saints offense was performing with record-setting efficiency. The Saints offense collapsed, at least in part due to injuries to Derek Carr and Chris Olave, but Kubiak's playcalling also became predictable. He would be still be a breath of fresh air for an offense that will be searching for a quarterback and an identity this offseason. |

Cowboys | Mike McCarthy moving on Mon Jan 13, 12:05 PM
Updating a previous report, Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy is expected to be a free agent after two sides failed to agree on the length of a contract, according to sources Monday, Jan. 13.
| Footballguys view: The plot thickens. There have been differing reports about the nature of the outcome. One says they couldn't agree on contract length, the other contends that there were never serious talks about a new deal even though the team blocked the Bears from interviewing McCarthy. It has been reported that the Bears and Saints will both be interested in McCarthy, and he should be considered a strong candidate for at least the New Orleans job. A wide range of names have been tossed out as possibilities in Dallas, including all-time Cowboy great Jason Witten, who is expected to be on the new staff in some shape or form. Former Cowboys and current Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore's name has also come up often. |

The Colts moved on from Gus Bradley after a complete collapse against the Giants and overall failure to develop a considerable amount of drafted talent. |

Updating a previous report, Philadelphia Eagles LB Nakobe Dean (knee) is feared to have suffered a knee injury significant enough to end his season. He'll have an MRI Monday, Jan. 13.
| Footballguys view: Dean has broken out this season and might be the most important player in the defense. He'll be missed next week when the Eagles play the winner of the Rams/Vikings game. We'll wait to see if this is the kind of injury that will affect his availability for training camp and Week 1 of next season. |
Bears | Thomas Brown interviewing for full-time gig Mon Jan 13, 08:18 AM
Chicago Bears interim head coach Thomas X. Brown is interviewing Monday, Jan. 13, for the full-time position with the Bears.
| Footballguys view: The Bears are interviewing a ton of candidates. There has been buzz that unexpected names will be in play, and Mike McCarthy has been mentioned as a possibility after he and the Cowboys failed to sign a new contract before his previous deal expired. Brown's stint as interim head coach was generally seen in a positive light, but it probably wasn't impressive enough to get the team to drop interim from the title. |

Bills | Ray Davis should be fine moving forward Mon Jan 13, 01:17 AM
Updating a previous report, Buffalo Bills RB Ray Davis (concussion) is 'doing OK' after suffering a concussion in the team's Wild Card Round game against the Denver Broncos, according to quarterback Josh Allen.
| Footballguys view: The Bills don't play until Sunday evening, so Davis will have a little extra time to clear concussion protocol. Ty Johnson and James Cook were both standouts in the win over Denver, so the Bills backfield is in good shape even if Davis can't go. |

Link to story Commanders | Jayden Daniels coming up big late as a rookie Mon Jan 13, 12:25 AM
Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels is 40-of-59 for 551 yards and six touchdowns and two interceptions when his team is tied or trailing by one score in the fourth quarter or overtime this season. He has also led Washington to five comeback wins in those situations.
| Footballguys view: Daniels also is now the only rookie quarterback to ever have a playoff game end with no punts or turnovers. He also is the only rookie quarterback to do that in the regular season, and he did it twice, in Weeks 2 and 3. He's more than rare, Daniels is already a 1 of 1 in the record books. |
Packers | Jayden Reed suffers dislocated shoulder Mon Jan 13, 12:25 AM
Updating an earlier report, Green Bay Packers WR Jayden Reed (shoulder) dislocated his shoulder against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, Jan. 12, and did not return to the game. The Packers were eliminated, however, so Reed will have plenty of time to heal up.
| Footballguys view: We'll be watching to see if Reed has to have surgery for any damage caused by the injury. A dislocated shoulder means that the upper arm bone came out of the shoulder joint, so there could be considerable ligament repairs needed. |

Commanders | Daniels lead team to road playoff victory Mon Jan 13, 12:20 AM
Washington won 23-20 at Tampa Bay and will face Detroit next week. Jayden Daniels completed 24 of 35 passes for 268 yards and two scores. He also led the team in rushing with 36 yards. Dyami Brown caught five balls for 89 yards and a score and Terry McLaurin caught seven for 89 and a score.
| Footballguys view: Daniels was calm well beyond his years, which has become the norm this season. He took the offense on his shoulders as the Bucs shut down the Commanders running game. McLaurin was his usual brilliant self, while Brown had a breakout game of sorts, also drawing a pass interference penalty in the end zone. Washington could have made this easier on themselves with better goal line execution and Tampa gifted them a touchdown with a turnover deep in their own end, but a road playoff win is impressive no matter how it comes - even more impressive when authored by a rookie. Daniels will try to upset the #1 seed Lions in Detroit next week. |
Packers | Another concussion for Romeo Doubs Mon Jan 13, 12:12 AM
Updating an earlier report, Green Bay Packers WR Romeo Doubs (concussion) suffered a concussion during the team's Wild Card loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. It was his second of the season, having had one on Sunday, Nov. 24, against the San Francisco 49ers.
| Footballguys view: The amount of concern shown by his teammates was considerable, so we'll hopefully breath a sigh of relief when Doubs is ready and participating in offseason activities. We won't consider that a given though, until we see it reported later this year. |
Buccaneers | Mistakes doom Tampa at home Mon Jan 13, 12:06 AM
Tampa Bay lost to Washington 23-20. Baker Mayfield completed 15 of 18 passes for 185 yard and two touchdowns. Bucky Irving ran 17 times for 77 yards and caught two passes for six yards and a score. Mike Evans caught seven balls for 92 yards and a touchdown.
| Footballguys view: Mayfield was excellent, but a botched handoff deep in the Bucs end of the field that took the wind out of their sails after a big goal line stop. The Bucs also lost the time of possession battle to long Jayden Daniels led drives, giving Mayfield fewer opportunities to influence the outcome of the game. He has taken a big step forward in every way. Irving will be a second round pick in fantasy drafts this summer after a breakout rookie year. Evans was dominant against Marshon Lattimore and was underrated by fantasy drafters for a second straight season. This offense is prime property in fantasy drafts, but it could lose its offensive coordinator for the second straight year if Liam Coen gets hired as a head coach somewhere. |

RB Rachaad White gained one yard on his only carry and had 14 receiving yards on two receptions.
