Link to storyWashington Commanders passing game coordinator Brian Johnson interviewed with the Denver Broncos for their offensive coordinator vacancy on Friday, Jan. 30.
| Footballguys view: This is a bit perplexing as recent developments seemed to pave the way for quarterback coach Davis Webb to be promoted to offensive coordinator after he was in consideration for the Bills head coach job among other spots. Johnson has been the pass game coordinator for the Commanders, but was passed over for the offensive coordinator job after the team chose assistant quarterback coach David Blough over him to replace Kliff Kingsbury. Johnson hasn't officially left the Commanders staff, but this is a sign that he will whether or not he gets the job with Denver. |

Buffalo Bills PK Matt Prater (quadriceps) is considered day-to-day because of his quadriceps injury, according to head coach Sean McDermott. McDermott said the team plans to try out kickers this week.
| Footballguys view: McDermott said that the team will be working out kickers in order to have a backup plan in the event Prater is not able to play. The Bills released Michael Badgley last week when Prater was deemed healthy enough to return. McDermott did not say whether he's under consideration for a return. |

Buffalo Bills PK Matt Prater (quadriceps) left the Week 18 game against the New York Jets due to a quadriceps injury, and he was unable to return.
| Footballguys view: Prater was out for the Bills' previous two matchups due to a quad ailment and was replaced by free-agent Michael Badgley. As SI.com suggested, Badgley's stint with the Bills was as unsuccessful as it was brief, as after two missed extra-point attempts in two weeks, the Bills cut bait with the midseason addition before Prater was welcomed back against the Jets. Now, with Prater out once again, the Bills will likely have to go back to the free-agent well for what will be the fifth player to kick for the team this season. |
