Chicago Bears CB Kyler Gordon (groin) and OT Braxton Jones (knee) had their practice windows opened up to return from injured reserve on Tuesday, Jan. 6.
Link to storyBuffalo Bills CB Maxwell Hairston (ankle) is considered unlikely to be available for the Wild Card playoff game, according to head coach Sean McDermott.
Link to storyDallas Cowboys CB DaRon Bland (foot) is scheduled to undergo foot surgery next week but should be ready for the 2026 season.
| Footballguys view: Bland does not expect the recovery to limit him in offseason workouts and OTAs. He suffered a left foot fracture during 2024's training camp, just after a breakout 2023 season that saw Bland set a new NFL record for most interceptions returned for touchdown in a single season. That sidelined him until Week 12 following surgery in 2024. The Cowboys then signed Bland to a four-year contract extension worth $92 million ($50 million guaranteed) in August, but the foot issues persisted. He missed the final three games this year and finished the season with one interception. |

Green Bay Packers CB/WR Bo Melton did not have a catch on one target in Week 18 against the Minnesota Vikings, but he did have a solo tackle.
| Footballguys view: Melton, who has played most of the snaps at wide receiver on Sunday, was injured while making a tackle on punt coverage. Melton played 177 snaps on special teams through the first 16 weeks. The Packers cross-trained him at cornerback this offseason, but he has not played a snap on defense in 2025. On special teams, Melton returns kicks, covers punts, and kicks and blocks on punt return -- making him a core special teamer. He also has a touchdown catch as a wide receiver. It remains to be seen if this injury will impact Melton's postseason availability. |
