Steelers | Jonnu Smith should be available Sat Jan 10, 03:55 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers TE Jonnu Smith (glute) fully participated in practice Saturday, Jan. 10, and is not on the injury report for the Wild Card playoff game.
| Footballguys view: Smith is a weapon who can make some sneaky plays for the Steelers. They'll need to play a near-perfect game against the tough Texans defense on Monday night. |

Steelers | No designation for Jaylen Warren Sat Jan 10, 03:54 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Warren (illness) fully participated in practice Saturday, Jan. 10, and is not on the injury report for the Wild Card playoff game.
| Footballguys view: Good news for the Steelers here. Warren will split time with Kenneth Gainwell as the Steelers take on the Texans on Monday night. |
Steelers | Aaron Rodgers on track to play Sat Jan 10, 03:42 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers (wrist) fully participated in practice Saturday, Jan. 10, and is not on the injury report for the Wild Card game.
| Footballguys view: Rodgers takes his ton of playing experience in the playoffs to the Wild Card Round against the Texans on Monday night. The Texans defense is arguably the best in the league, so Rodgers will have his work cut out for him if the Steelers want to advance. |

Texans | Jawhar Jordan will not be available Sat Jan 10, 03:35 PM
Houston Texans RB Jawhar Jordan (ankle) did not participate in practice Saturday, Jan. 10, and has been ruled out of the Wild Card playoff game.
| Footballguys view: The Texans will go with Woody Marks as their lead back in the Wild Card Round. On Monday night against the Steelers, Nick Chubb should get onto the field as the no.2 back for Houston. Dare Ogunbowale might get some work on third downs if/when those two need a breather. |
Cowboys | Tag possible for George Pickens Sat Jan 10, 03:19 PM
Dallas Cowboys impending free-agent WR George Pickens is believed to be a likely candidate for the franchise tag this offseason, according to ESPN.com's Dan Graziano.
| Footballguys view: Pickens (a second-round pick of the Steelers in 2022) is set to be an urestricted free agent in 2026. He had career-high numbers in catches (93), yardage (1,429), and receiving touchdowns (9). A tag would next Pickens a one-year deal around $28 million for 2026. If tagged, Pickens and the Cowboys would have until mid-July to get a long-term contract done. |

Link to story Steelers | Pittsburgh open to Aaron Rodgers return Sat Jan 10, 01:20 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers impending free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers is a player the team would be interested in re-signing this offseason if he wants to play in 2026.
| Footballguys view: The Steelers need a quarterback of the future, but Rodgers can be their quarterback of the now if he wants to stay. Plenty of buzz is building about the Steelers going for a quarterback like Malik Willis (Packers) this offseason in free agency. We'll see if Rodgers can make a quick decision about his future plans so the Steelers can adjust accordingly. |

Bills | Dalton Kincaid delivering big plays Sat Jan 10, 01:02 PM
Buffalo Bills TE Dalton Kincaid led the team with five touchdown receptions and 13 receptions of 20-plus yards despite missing five games during the regular season.
| Footballguys view: The Bills don't have an alpha no.1 receiver but they do have a playmaker at tight end in Kincaid. They'll pound the rock against the Jaguars on Sunday, but when they need to go through the air we're sure Josh Allen will be looking for the veteran tight end. |

NFL | Tommy Castellanos headed to draft Sat Jan 10, 01:02 PM
Florida State University QB Tommy Castellanos has declared for the 2026 NFL Draft.
| Footballguys view: Castellanos is a dual-threat quarterback who is seen as a developmental prospect. He's a shorter quarterback, measuring in at 5-feet, 11-inches tall. Castellanos must improve his field vision and accuracy as a passer to be an effective pro player. |
NFL | Marlin Klein declares for draft Sat Jan 10, 01:02 PM
University of Michigan TE Marlin Klein has declared for the 2026 NFL Draft.
| Footballguys view: Klein is an athletic freak who can be a threat with his size/speed combination. Measuring in at 6-feet, 6-inches, and 250 pounds, Klein can rip the seam and beat defenders with surprising speed. He's also big enough to block effectively and uses his frame to box out smaller defenders. |
49ers | Tough test for Brock Purdy Sat Jan 10, 01:02 PM
San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy faces the Philadelphia Eagles in the wild-card round, and the Eagles allowed a league-low 14 passing touchdowns in the regular season.
| Footballguys view: Purdy is battling a left shoulder injury, but he will be out there in the Wild Card Round. The Eagles have a tough defense with DC Vic Fangio, but we're certain Kyle Shanahan will have a gameplan to move the ball effectively so long as Purdy executes the plays as designed. |
Bills | Uphill battle for James Cook? Sat Jan 10, 01:02 PM
Buffalo Bills RB James Cook faces the Jacksonville Jaguars in the wild-card round, and the Jaguars allowed a league-low 85.6 rushing yards per game in the regular season.
| Footballguys view: The Jaguars might be the toughest team in the playoff bracket on either the AFC or NFC side. The Bills have their work cut out for them, and Cook is going to be the centerpiece of what they do. We'll see if Cook (and Josh Allen as a runner) can break the Jacksonville rush defense. |
Panthers | Bryce Young's option likely to be picked up Sat Jan 10, 10:53 AM
The Carolina Panthers are expected to pick up the fifth-year option on QB Bryce Young's rookie contract, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
| Footballguys view: Young has grown during his pro career. At one point, Young looked like he might end up a bust. Instead, the 2023 no.1 overall pick led the Panthers to the Wild Card Round and played some good football. Against the Rams on Saturday, Young put up a fight with over 260 yards and one touchdown. The Panthers are building something with Young, so we'll see what else they put around him in the offseason. |

Falcons | Matt Ryan hired for executive role Sat Jan 10, 10:24 AM
The Atlanta Falcons officially hired former QB Matt Ryan to be the team's president of football Saturday, Jan. 10.
| Footballguys view: He will now lead the search for the organization's vacant head coach and general manager positions. Ryan was an analyst for CBS, but now he's in control of getting the Falcons back on track. |

Chargers | Omarion Hampton expects to play Sat Jan 10, 10:02 AM
Los Angeles Chargers RB Omarion Hampton (ankle) said that he expects to play in the Wild Card game versus the New England Patriots Sunday, Jan. 11.
| Footballguys view: Hampton was able to practice on Friday wearing a brace. He's the best back, but the rookie is not 100 percent healthy. Expect the Chargers to use Hampton as the lead back, but Kimani Vidal should get plenty of work as well. |
49ers | Trent Williams optimistic about playing Sat Jan 10, 09:36 AM
San Francisco 49ers OT Trent Williams (hamstring) is considered a game-time decision for the Wild Card game versus the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday, Jan. 11, but is confident that he will play. He was listed as questionable on the injury report after participating in two of San Francisco's three practice sessions during the week on a limited basis.

49ers | No designation for George Kittle Fri Jan 9, 05:54 PM
San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (ankle) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 9, and is not on the injury report for the Wild Card playoff game.
| Footballguys view: In his age-32 season, Kittle has managed a handful of injuries this year. Practicing in full and being removed from the injury report should give fantasy managers full confidence in starting him this week. |

49ers | Christian McCaffrey not on injury report Fri Jan 9, 05:47 PM
San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (non-injury) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 9, and is not on the injury report for the Wild Card playoff game.
| Footballguys view: McCaffrey finished the season as the top-scoring running back and enters this game with no restrictions. He's a great option in all fantasy formats, even up against a stout Eagles' defense. |
Christian McCaffrey player page
49ers | Ricky Pearsall listed as questionable Fri Jan 9, 05:36 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (ankle, knee) did not participate in practice Friday, Jan. 9, and is listed as questionable for the Wild Card playoff game.
| Footballguys view: Given the nature of Pearsall's injuries this season, it's really difficult to trust him in fantasy lineups, even if he is active. If he plays, he'll likely take a backseat to Jauan Jennings, George Kittle, and Christian McCaffrey in the receiving game. |
Steelers | Friday practice report for Steelers Fri Jan 9, 05:32 PM

Steelers | Aaron Rodgers takes part in practice Fri Jan 9, 05:29 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers (wrist) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 9.
| Footballguys view: Rodgers has played through this wrist injury on his non-throwing hand for the last couple of months. There's no reason to believe it will limit his play. He doesn't have much of a ceiling in this offense, but he can keep the weapons afloat. |

Steelers | Jaylen Warren back at practice Fri Jan 9, 05:27 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Warren (illness) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 9.
| Footballguys view: Jaylen Warren has started ceding some high-value touches to Kenneth Gainwell over the last month, but he's still got touchdown upside. Expect him to maintain the bulk of the work, but don't be surprised to see him pulled for Gainwell on obvious passing downs. |

WR Kayshon Boutte (hamstring), LB Harold Landry (knee), OT Thayer Munford (knee) and CB Alex Austin (wrist) were limited during practice and are listed as questionable.

Patriots | TreVeyon Henderson misses practice Fri Jan 9, 04:58 PM
New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (non-injury) did not participate in practice Friday, Jan. 9, but is not on the injury report for the Wild Card playoff game.
| Footballguys view: It sounds like there's no reason for concern here as Henderson isn't on the final injury report. He's in a split backfield with Rhamondre Stevenson, but his big-play upside and pass-catching abilities make him a viable fantasy option, even with a limited load. |
Patriots | Hunter Henry set to play Fri Jan 9, 04:55 PM
New England Patriots TE Hunter Henry (non-injury) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 9, and is not on the injury report for the Wild Card playoff game.
| Footballguys view: Henry has emerged as one of Drake Maye's favorite targets, especially near the end zone. In a smaller slate of playoff games than a normal regular-season week, he's one of the top fantasy tight ends. |

Patriots | Questionable tag for Kayshon Boutte Fri Jan 9, 04:41 PM
New England Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) was limited during practice Friday, Jan. 9, and is listed as questionable for the Wild Card playoff game.
| Footballguys view: A mid-week addition to the injury report is never a good thing, and Boutte hasn't logged a full practice since being added to Thursday's report. If he's active, there's a chance that he's limited. He's a risky start this weekend against the Chargers. |

Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert (hand) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 9, and is not on the injury report for the Wild Card playoff game.
| Footballguys view: Herbert has toughed it out since requiring surgery on his non-throwing hand several weeks ago. His splits without Joe Alt haven't been great this year, but he's still got a ceiling that makes him a viable fantasy option. |

Chargers | Keenan Allen expected to play Fri Jan 9, 04:28 PM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Keenan Allen (non-injury) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 9, and is not on the injury report for the Wild Card playoff game.
| Footballguys view: Allen has been a steady chain mover for Justin Herbert this year, but the passing targets are spread thinly across the team. Likely third on his team in targets, he falls into the touchdown-or-bust range this weekend against the Patriots. |

Chargers | Omarion Hampton limited Friday Fri Jan 9, 04:27 PM
Updating a previous report, Los Angeles Chargers RB Omarion Hampton (ankle) was limited during practice Friday, Jan. 9, and is listed as questionable for the Wild Card playoff game.
| Footballguys view: After back-to-back DNPs to start the week, it's promising that Hampton was able to return to practice. Given his injury, don't be surprised to see him cede work to Kimani Vidal, even if he is active. Hampton has a bright future ahead of him, but his short-term outlook as he navigates this injury is hard to get excited about. |
