Raiders | Las Vegas want to interview Davis Webb again Sat Jan 24, 01:23 PM
Denver Broncos passing game coordinator Davis Webb is considered a strong candidate for the head-coaching vacancy of the Las Vegas Raiders, and that organization wants to schedule a second interview with him after the AFC Championship Game.
| Footballguys view: Rumblings suggest the Raiders are waiting for the playoffs to play out before they make a move - and there's plenty of buzz about them wanting an offensive-minded head coach. That could either be Webb with the Broncos or Klint Kubiak with the Seahawks. Webb has done great work with Bo Nix under HC Sean Payton, and if he can get good football from Jarrett Stidham in the AFC Championship Game his stock as a future head coach will only rise. |

NFL | De'Zhaun Stribling dealing with injury Sat Jan 24, 03:54 AM
University of Mississippi WR De'Zhaun Stribling (undisclosed) has pulled out of the East-West Shrine Bowl with an undisclosed injury.
| Footballguys view: Stribling is seen as a Day 3 pick as a physically imposing possession receiver. He's bounced around to a few diferent colleges, ending up at Ole Miss where he finished the 2025 season with 55 catches for 811 yards and six touchdowns. It's unfortunate that Stribling pulled out of practice as he was looking to elevate his draft stock (plus, he has a history of hand/wrist injuries). Medical exams before the draft will be critical for teams interested. |
NFL | Cade Klubnik makes good impression Sat Jan 24, 03:51 AM
Clemson University QB Cade Klubnik was 'by far the best quarterback prospect' during practice for the East-West Shrine Bowl Friday, Jan. 23, according to Alan Saunders of Steeler Now.
| Footballguys view: We could see that. Our very own Cecil Lammey was pouring over the film from the early Shrine Bowl practices, and you can see some Bo Nix in Klubnik's game in terms of quick delivery and accuracy on short-to-intermediate routes. Now, he's inconsistent on his Clemson film (ask any Tigers fan), and that will need to be cleaned up for him to be an effective pro. Seen as a Day 2 pick right now, Klubnik could move up the draft boards with a good week at the Shrine. If he cleans up his inconsistency, this dual-threat quarterback could prove to be a value pick. |

Cowboys | Jaydon Blue admits to poor habits Fri Jan 23, 09:23 PM
Dallas Cowboys RB Jaydon Blue said his lack of consistency in practice played a role in his sporadic playing time this season. 'I'm trusting my coaches, and just making sure I'm working because, at this level, talent isn't everything,' Blue said. 'I have to make sure I'm putting in work so that I can continue to have those opportunities.'

Broncos | AFC Championship injury report for Broncos Fri Jan 23, 06:32 PM
Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix (ankle) did not participate in practice Friday, Jan. 23, and has been ruled out of the AFC Championship game. RB J.K. Dobbins (foot) was limited during practice but has been ruled out. TE Lucas Krull (foot) and LB Drew Sanders (ankle) fully participated in practice but have been ruled out.

Broncos | Pat Bryant on track to play Fri Jan 23, 06:22 PM
Denver Broncos WR Pat Bryant (concussion) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 23, and is not on the injury report for the AFC Championship game.
| Footballguys view: Despite leaving last week's game early with a concussion, Bryant was able to clear the necessary steps to advance through concussion protocol. The rookie has been a reliable option since the midway point of the season, but expectations for the entire offense should be tempered without Bo Nix. |
Broncos | Questionable tag for Troy Franklin Fri Jan 23, 06:16 PM
Denver Broncos WR Troy Franklin (hamstring) was limited during practice Friday, Jan. 23, and is listed as questionable for the AFC Championship game.
| Footballguys view: Franklin left last week's game early with this hamstring injury. Limited practices are better than no practice at all, but we probably won't get information on his availability until close to Sunday's kickoff. |
Broncos | J.K. Dobbins will not be available Fri Jan 23, 06:08 PM
Denver Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins (foot) was limited during practice Friday, Jan. 23, but has been ruled out of the AFC Championship game.
| Footballguys view: Despite a return to practice this week, Dobbins isn't quite ready to return. If the Broncos beat the Patriots, Dobbins will get an extra week of rest leading up to the Super Bowl, potentially giving him time to return. In this game, expect the run game to flow through RJ Harvey. |

Broncos | Bo Nix ruled out Fri Jan 23, 06:01 PM
Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix (ankle) did not participate in practice Friday, Jan. 23, and has been ruled out of the AFC Championship game.
| Footballguys view: After undergoing ankle surgery, Nix is done for the year. Even if the Broncos pull out this win, Jaret Stidham or another quarterback would start in the Super Bowl. Nix is eying a return at the start of the 2026 season. Stidham will start in his absence. |
Patriots | AFC Championship injury report for Patriots Fri Jan 23, 05:53 PM
New England Patriots LB Harold Landry (knee) did not participate in practice Friday, Jan. 23, and has been ruled out of the AFC Championship game. LB Marte Mapu (hip) was limited during practice and is listed as questionable. DT Joshua Farmer (hamstring), WR Mack Hollins (abdomen) and RB Terrell Jennings (head) fully participated in practice but are listed as questionable. C Garrett Bradbury (illness), CB Carlton Davis (head), LB Christian Elliss (hip), RB TreVeyon Henderson (shoulder), TE Hunter Henry (knee), OT Morgan Moses (non-injury), OT Thayer Munford (knee) and LB Robert Spillane (hand) fully participated in practice and are not on the injury report.

Patriots | No designation for Hunter Henry Fri Jan 23, 05:49 PM
New England Patriots TE Hunter Henry (knee) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 23, and is not on the injury report for the AFC Championship game.
| Footballguys view: Henry opened up the week with back-to-back limited practices, so full participation on Friday is good to see. Henry has been very boom-or-bust this season. Last week, he had just one catch for five yards. But his multi-touchdown upside in any matchup always makes him an intriguing play. |

Patriots | TreVeyon Henderson fully practices Fri Jan 23, 05:46 PM
New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (shoulder) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 23, and is not on the injury report for the AFC Championship game.
| Footballguys view: Henderson has been on the injury report all week, but it hasn't stopped him from practicing in full every day. The Patriots chose to lean a bit heavier on Rhamondre Stevenson in their first playoff game. Henderson is a big-play threat every time he touches the ball, but the coaching staff might have more faith in the veteran in these big games. |
Patriots | Full practice for Mack Hollins Fri Jan 23, 05:45 PM
New England Patriots WR Mack Hollins (abdomen) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 23, but is listed as questionable for the AFC Championship game.
| Footballguys view: Hollins hasn't played since Week 16. When active, he's been a reliable deep threat and a team leader. The Patriots get the benefit of playing against a Broncos team without Bo Nix, but the home-field advantage and stout defense can still pose a challenge. If Hollins can return this week, he'll be welcomed back to a receiver room that could use the extra firepower. |

Seattle Seahawks LB Chazz Surratt (ankle) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 23, but has been ruled out of the NFC Championship game.

OT Joshua Jones (ankle, knee) fully participated in practice but is listed as questionable. QB Sam Darnold (oblique) and WR Cooper Kupp (non-injury) were limited during practice but are not on the injury report.

Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba (non-injury) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 23, and is not on the injury report for the NFC Championship game.
| Footballguys view: Smith-Njigba's limited participation on Wednesday appears to be nothing more than preferential treatment ahead of a big conference championship game. The Year 2 receiver has broken out in a major way this year and should serve as the Seahawks' primary weapon in a home game against the Rams. |

Seahawks | Cooper Kupp limited Friday Fri Jan 23, 05:27 PM
Seattle Seahawks WR Cooper Kupp (non-injury) was limited during practice Friday, Jan. 23, but is not on the injury report for the NFC Championship game.
| Footballguys view: All signs point to this limited participation being nothing more than some veteran rest. Kupp caught all five of his targets for 60 yards last week, stepping up when the lights are the brightest. He should work as the secondary option in the passing game behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba this week in a revenge game against the Rams. |

Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (oblique) was limited during practice Friday, Jan. 23, but is not on the injury report for the NFC Championship game.
| Footballguys view: Darnold played through this injury last week, and there's no expectation he won't again this week. He'll have a tough matchup against a strong Rams' defense, but his upside always keeps him on the radar as a player to watch. |

Link to story Seahawks | Zach Charbonnet placed on IR Fri Jan 23, 02:05 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) was placed on injured reserve on Friday, Jan. 23.
| Footballguys view: Charbonnet suffered a significant knee injury last week. He hopes to make a quick recovery, but it's expected he might not be ready for the start of the season. In Charbonnet's absence through the playoffs, Kenneth III will have no competition for meaningful touches. George Holani will likely be active, but the Seahawks should lean heavily on Walker. This offseason, the Seahawks will likely be shaken up, as Walker is a pending free agent. |

Link to story Bills | Philip Rivers set to interview for HC vacancy Fri Jan 23, 01:15 PM
Former NFL QB Philip Rivers will interview for the head coaching vacancy of the Buffalo Bills on Friday, Jan. 23.
| Footballguys view: After essentially operating as an on-field NFL coach who was throwing the ball for the Colts, Rivers will hope to make the jump from high school coaching to the pros. Josh Allen's physical traits are undeniable, but a bit of coaching from someone with a deep understanding of pre-snap coverage and disguises could help him elevate to a new level and extend his career. |

Bills | Dalton Kincaid played season with torn PCL Fri Jan 23, 12:26 PM
Buffalo Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (knee) played the entire 2025 season with a torn posterior cruciate ligament in his knee, according to TE Dawson Knox.
| Footballguys view: Kincaid has dealt with chronic injuries since coming into the league and navigated through others this season, in addition to the reported PCL. Just this year, we saw how PCL injuries impacted players like Brock Bowers, Drake London, and Josh Jacobs. It's a tough injury to play through. Assuming Kincaid can get healthy for next season, he'll be a solid post-hype sleeper to target in drafts. |

NFL | Fernando Mendoza declares for NFL Draft Fri Jan 23, 11:00 AM
Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza officially declared for the 2026 NFL Draft Friday, Jan. 23.
| Footballguys view: After a miraculous season ending with a National Championship, Mendoza will leave college after his junior season to join the NFL Draft. Expectations are that he'll be the top pick. The Raiders are coming off a down season. However, they have some young and exciting pieces in place and about $92 million in salary cap space, the second-most of any team this offseason. The Raiders still need to find a coach, but things could be looking up quickly in Las Vegas. |

Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (oblique) was limited during practice Thursday, Jan. 22.
| Footballguys view: There's little doubt that Darnold is going to play in the NFC Championship Game against the Rams. The divisional rivals know each other well and split the season series. So long as Darnold takes care of the ball, Seattle can advance to the Super Bowl. |

New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (shoulder) fully participated in practice Thursday, Jan. 22.

Patriots | Limited practice for Mack Hollins Thu Jan 22, 05:58 PM
New England Patriots WR Mack Hollins (abdomen) was limited during practice Thursday, Jan. 22.
| Footballguys view: Let's see if Hollins can get out there on Sunday against the Broncos. He's coming back from IR with this abdomen injury and not a lock to play. If he does play, Hollins will block (his forte) and be a deep threat for the Pats. |

New England Patriots TE Hunter Henry (non-injury) was limited during practice Thursday, Jan. 22.

| Footballguys view: Good news for the Broncos here. Bryant was going to be a big part of their plan against the Bills but was concussed for the second time in about a month. He's been seen wearing a guardian cap in practice, and Bryant could wear one in the game to keep him better protected. |
Broncos | Troy Franklin limited again Thu Jan 22, 05:39 PM
Denver Broncos WR Troy Franklin (hamstring) was limited during practice Thursday, Jan. 22.

Broncos | J.K. Dobbins listed as limited Thu Jan 22, 05:38 PM
Denver Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins (foot) was limited during practice Thursday, Jan. 22.

Seahawks | Kenneth Walker III could run wild Thu Jan 22, 12:20 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III faces the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Championship Game, and in two meetings with the Rams in the regular season, Walker rushed for 167 yards and two touchdowns on 27 carries and caught six passes for 108 yards.
| Footballguys view: Walker is a key player for the Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game. We'll see what the Rams have in store to stop the powerful runner. Without Zach Charbonnet, Walker is going to get a heavy workload on Sunday. |
Seahawks | AJ Barner a secret weapon Thu Jan 22, 12:20 PM
Seattle Seahawks TE AJ Barner faces the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Championship Game, and Barner recorded 14 receptions for 119 yards and a touchdown in the two meetings with the Rams in the regular season.
| Footballguys view: Barner is more accurately described as a not-so-secret weapon. The Rams are going to be ready for the Seahawks aerial attack, and that means they'll have a plan for Barner. |
Rams | Kyren Williams showing off versatility Thu Jan 22, 12:20 PM
Los Angeles Rams RB Kyren Williams has caught at least three passes in four of his last five games, including the playoffs, after recording three or more receptions just twice in his first 14 games this season.
| Footballguys view: Williams can beat you as a runner or receiver out of the backfield. The Seahawks will have their hands full with Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, so getting some targets for Williams just makes sense. |
Texans | Tank Dell expected back for offseason program Thu Jan 22, 12:20 PM
Houston Texans WR Tank Dell (knee) is expected to be ready for offseason activities, according to general manager Nick Caserio. 'He worked very hard,' Caserio said. 'I think our performance group, they do a really good job. I would anticipate him being available for the offseason. Knowing Tank, he's probably cautiously optimistic that he's going to be able to go out there and be Tank Dell.'
| Footballguys view: Dell is coming back from a major knee injury suffered in the playoffs last year. He's an explosive player when healthy, and Dell gives CJ Stroud another dangerous weapon to target. |
