Broncos | Limited practice for Troy Franklin Wed Jan 21, 06:33 PM
Denver Broncos WR Troy Franklin (hamstring) was limited during practice Wednesday, Jan. 21.

Broncos | J.K. Dobbins a limited participant Wed Jan 21, 06:30 PM
Denver Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins (foot) was limited during practice Wednesday, Jan. 21.

| Footballguys view: Nobody is surprised by this after the 49ers put Aiyuk on the reserve/left squad list. Future guarantees in his contract are voided, and we'll see how the 49ers choose to resolve this issue with the talented yet oft-injured receiver. |

Buccaneers | Zac Robinson gets second interview for OC vacancy Wed Jan 21, 03:49 PM
Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Zac Robinson interviewed for the offensive coordinator vacancy of the Pittsburgh Steelers for a second time on Wednesday, Jan. 21.
| Footballguys view: Robinson is a Sean McVay disciple, but his offense did not pop with the Falcons. Perhaps that was the bad quarterback play, and it looks like the Steelers are quite interested. Running a McVay/Shanahan system, Robinson would emphasize wide-zone concepts and the ground game on offense. |

Patriots | Mack Hollins won't return Wednesday Wed Jan 21, 02:14 PM

Bills | Josh Allen may need foot surgery Wed Jan 21, 11:51 AM
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen (foot) might need a foot procedure in the offseason, according to general manager Brandon Beane.

After years of falling short with Sean McDermott, Allen is looking to make (and win) a Super Bowl for the first time in his career. |

Texans | More on Joe Mixon situation Wed Jan 21, 11:48 AM
Updating previous reports, Houston Texans RB Joe Mixon (foot) missed the entire season with a medical condition that didn't improve, according to general manager Nick Caserio. 'He wasn't doing anything irresponsible. It was a freak thing,' Caserio said.
| Footballguys view: Reports indicate Mixon got some treatment away from the facility, and that could lean the Texans to moving on from the veteran back. His future in Houston is unknown at this time, but Mixon is under contract with a $10.5 million cap hit and $2 million in dead money. |

Vikings | Jordan Addison won't be charged Tue Jan 20, 11:42 AM
Minnesota Vikings WR Jordan Addison will not face charges and now will prepare for the filing of a civil claim arising from the alleged wrongful arrest.
| Footballguys view: Addison, 23, was arrested on a misdemeanor trespassing charge last Monday at 3:46 a.m. He was later released on bond. A positive outcome is great, as this remains an important offseason for Addison. The Vikings will have to decide whether or not to pick up the former first-round pick's fifth-year option. Addison is emerging from a down season, in which he caught a career-low 42 passes for 610 yards (he also had six drops). We'll be watching for more. |

Dolphins | Tyreek Hill likely to be released Tue Jan 20, 12:41 AM
Miami Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (knee) is likely to be released and designated a post-June 1 cut, according to ESPN's Marcel Louis-Jacques, who writes it remains 'unclear' when he'll be able to return after dislocating his knee. Louis-Jacques adds that this would be the 'most fiscally reasonable solution.'
| Footballguys view: New GM Jon-Eric Sullivan will have to decide on the futures of several players, including Hill. With Sullivan stressing the importance of team culture, it's hard to imagine a scenario in which Hill is part of this franchise going forward. The real question is what teams might be interested in the veteran speedster. We'll be watching for more. |

49ers | Jauan Jennings set to become free agent Tue Jan 20, 12:29 AM
San Francisco 49ers WR Jauan Jennings is a free-agent-to-be, and he deferred to his agent when questioned about whether he would play under the projected franchise tag of $28 million for 2026.
| Footballguys view: According to USA Today's Kyle Madson, the 49ers aren't sure to tag Jennings given the inflated one-year valuation, so he's likely to test the unrestricted free agent market for the first time in his career. With 1,618 yards and 15 touchdowns on 122 receptions over the last two years, it's understandable Jennings may want to look elsewhere to see if there's a sizable payday for him. However, ESPN's Nick Wagoner also noted Jennings "got a bit emotional" while discussing his time with the 49ers, so it's tough to rule out a return if the market isn't to his liking. |

Dolphins | Miami could include draft pick to deal Tua Tagovailoa Tue Jan 20, 12:09 AM
Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa is not expected to return on his 'current deal,' in the opinion of ESPN's Marcel Louis-Jacques, who writes that trading Tagovailoa 'will be tricky' based on his level of play and money remaining on his contract. Louis-Jacques adds that the Dolphins could 'sweeten' any trade package for their quarterback by 'including a draft pick.'
| Footballguys view: Louis-Jacques explained that cutting Tagovailoa would result in a $99 million dead cap hit, whether it's all at once this season or spread across the next two seasons; trading him will be tricky considering his play over the past two seasons and the money he's owed. After an injury-shortened 2024 season, Tagovailoa led the NFL in interceptions at the time of his benching this season with a career-high 15, while sporting a career-low 37.4 QBR. This is a situation fantasy investors will want to monitor. |

Bears | Caleb Williams was pressured in 2025 Tue Jan 20, 12:08 AM
Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams was hurried a league-leading 94 times during the 2025 regular season and also led the league by being blitzed 174 times during the season.
| Footballguys view: The Bears experienced a significant turnaround in Ben Johnson's first season as coach. They went from five wins in 2024 to 11 in 2025 en route to the NFC North title. The Bears won their first playoff game in 15 seasons when they beat the Green Bay Packers in the wild-card round on Jan. 10. Williams was a big part of it, but there are areas in which both the QB and his team must improve. In particular, Williams said he plans to address his accuracy and footwork during the offseason. We'll be following his progress all offseason. |
Lions | Jameson Williams has issues with drops Tue Jan 20, 12:06 AM
Detroit Lions WR Jameson Williams recorded a league-high 12 drops during the 2025 regular season.
| Footballguys view: Yes, this was an issue, and Williams has room for improvement. As previously noted, there was still plenty to like here. Williams ranked third in the NFL with 23 receptions of 20-plus yards in 2025, and his 17.2 yards per reception ranked third among players who appeared in at least 10 games. He also posted career bests of 65 catches and 1,117 receiving yards en route to a WR21 finish. Williams will work on improving his strength this offseason. He'll likely work on his receiving as well. |

Seahawks | Sam Darnold to be day-to-day this week Tue Jan 20, 12:04 AM
Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (oblique) will be day-to-day this week, according to head coach Mike Macdonald. 'Balancing making sure we get enough reps at the proper tempo, with the proper looks, you know, and getting Sam the reps he needs,' Macdonald said Monday, Jan. 19.
| Footballguys view: Darnold, who played through an oblique injury suffered in last Thursday's practice, Macdonald said there were no setbacks. "To my knowledge, he's good," Macdonald said. "He didn't make it worse or anything, but I'm sure he's sore. This is something that we're going to have to navigate the rest of the week." Macdonald said there was almost no doubt that Darnold would play, even on the day the injury happened, both because of the way he responded to the setback and because of the toughness he has shown the team this season. We'll be monitoring Darnold's progress all week. Stay tuned. |

Seahawks | Kenneth Walker III matches franchise record Tue Jan 20, 12:03 AM
Seattle Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III matched a franchise record with three rushing touchdowns, 116 rushing yards and 19 carries in the NFC Divisional Round playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers.
| Footballguys view: That was the Walker that fantasy investors who landed him last summer expected all season. With Zach Charbonnet suffering a torn ACL against the 49ers, Walker will have ample opportunity against the Rams this week. Walker is currently the only healthy running back on the 53-man roster, but the Seahawks also have veteran backs Velus Jones Jr and Cam Akers on the practice squad. Additionally, George Holani, who has been on injured reserve since late November due to a hamstring injury, could be a candidate to return. However, he has not yet be designated to return to practice. |
Seahawks | Rashid Shaheed in rare club Tue Jan 20, 12:02 AM
Seattle Seahawks WR Rashid Shaheed had a 95-yard kickoff return for touchdown to open the NFC Divisional Round playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers to open the game.
| Footballguys view: It was just the third postseason kickoff return for touchdown in franchise history, and only the 28th kickoff return for touchdown in a playoff game in NFL history. |
Seahawks | Cam Akers, Velus Jones Jr. could see larger roles Mon Jan 19, 10:32 PM
Seattle Seahawks RBs Cam Akers and/or Velus Jones Jr. could be options to fill in behind RB Kenneth Walker III, according to head coach Mike Macdonald on Monday, Jan. 19, now that RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) is out for the rest of the playoffs.

'I think we'll just let this play out this week,' Macdonald said, as the team scrambles to find a replacement for RB Zach Charbonnet (knee).

San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (Achilles) said be believes he will return to the lineup before November and hopes to be able play closer to the start of the 2026 regular season.
| Footballguys view: Kittle's optimism comes after he had surgery performed last week in Los Angeles by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, the team physician for the Rams and Dodgers. Kittle said ElAttrache termed it a "best-case scenario" because he suffered a "clean tear" near his soleus, higher on his Achilles tendon. Asked about his timeline, Kittle told reporters that he'd keep it a "surprise." However, he later said privately that he expected to be playing again well before November. We'll continue to monitor. |

Houston Texans WR Tank Dell (knee) tried to be medically cleared to play before the end of the 2025 season but was not able to return in time, according to head coach DeMeco Ryans.
| Footballguys view: Ryans added that he's excited to see Dell back on the field next season. The speedy Dell dislocated his left kneecap and tore ligaments in that knee in December of last season. Through 25 NFL games, Dell has 98 catches for 1,376 yards and 10 touchdowns. |
