Patriots | No designation for Hunter Henry Fri Jan 16, 03:49 PM
New England Patriots TE Hunter Henry (knee) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 16, and is not on the injury report for the Divisional Round playoff game.
| Footballguys view: Back-to-back full practices for Henry signal that he should play Sunday without any limitations. Henry has displayed a strong connection with Drake Maye near the end zone this year, keeping him in consideration as one of the week's top tight ends. |

Bears | Colston Loveland closed year on high note Thu Jan 15, 08:30 PM
Chicago Bears TE Colston Loveland's 597 receiving yards from Week 9 onward were the second most among all tight ends, trailing only Arizona Cardinals TE Trey McBride.
| Footballguys view: Loveland had a strong finish to his rookie year. He's one of the best young tight ends in the game, and his play has helped the Bears win a ton of games. We're excited for him in the rest of the playoffs and in 2026's regular season. Loveland should be considered a TE1 for Fantasy GMs in the summer. |

Rams | Terrance Ferguson takes part in practice Wed Jan 14, 06:29 PM
Los Angeles Rams TE Terrance Ferguson (hamstring) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Jan. 14. The Rams only held a walkthrough Wednesday, so this is an estimation.
| Footballguys view: Ferguson missed the Wild Card Game against the Panthers, but he's trending to get out there on Sunday against the Bears. Having him on the field just gives Matthew Stafford another dangerous weapon in the passing game...and in the red zone. |

49ers | Surgery Wednesday for George Kittle Wed Jan 14, 11:24 AM
San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (Achilles) will have surgery for his torn right Achilles tendon on Wednesday, Jan. 14. He suffered the injury in the team's NFC Wild Card game victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.
| Footballguys view: Kittle now is looking at a return during the 2026 season. It's unlikely the veteran tight end will be ready for Week 1. Instead, Kittle may have to miss a month or two to begin the 2026 season as he recovers from this major injury in his age-33 season. |

Seahawks | Elijah Arroyo could play Saturday Wed Jan 14, 11:24 AM
Seattle Seahawks TE Elijah Arroyo (knee) might play in the NFC Divisional Round Game against the San Francisco 49ers Saturday, Jan. 17. He missed the final four games of the regular season, finishing on the Reserve/Injured list. 'Elijah is looking good,' head coach Mike Macdonald said. 'He's a possibility about coming back for this game.'
| Footballguys view: Arroyo was placed on IR after injuring his knee in Week 14. The rookie second-round pick is a move tight end and a threat after the catch. It seems like he'll be ready as a rotational player in the Divisional Round. |

Bills | Dalton Kincaid expected to be fine Tue Jan 13, 12:38 AM
Buffalo Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (undisclosed) was wearing a walking boot after the Wild Card playoff game, but head coach Sean McDermott said Kincaid should be fine for the Divisional Round game.
| Footballguys view: Great news considering the potential outcomes. The tight end has missed five regular-season contests in total due to various injuries, including to his oblique and hamstring. Still, Kincaid has remained as one of the Bills' top targets in the passing game, finishing the regular season second on the team in yards receiving (571) and first in touchdowns receiving with five. During Buffalo's win over the Jaguars in the Wild Card Round, he recorded three receptions for 28 yards and a touchdown. We'll see if he's ready with a short turnaround to a Saturday game in Denver. |

Texans | Houston rides dominant defense to Divisional Round Tue Jan 13, 12:15 AM
Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud completed 21 of 32 passes for 250 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in a 30-6 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Wild Card Weekend. Stroud also fumbled five times, losing two. RB Woody Marks ran the ball 19 times for 112 yards and a touchdown. RB Nick Chubb had 10 carries for 48 yards. WR Christian Kirk tallied eight receptions (on nine targets) for 144 yards and a score. WR Jayden Higgins finished with three catches for 39 yards, and WR Xavier Hutchinson managed 21 yards on two grabs. WR Jaylin Noel was targeted once but did not have a catch. TE Dalton Schultz caught three of four targeted passes for 12 yards. S Jalen Pitre had a team-high seven tackles (five solo), including two tackles for loss. DT Sheldon Rankins had 1 1/2 sacks and a fumble recovery that he returned for a score. S Calen Bullock had three solo tackles and an interception that was taken back for a touchdown.
| Footballguys view: The Texans will take on the Patriots in a Divisional Playoff game Sunday afternoon. Houston heads to New England as the hottest team in the NFL with a quarterback who will be eager for a chance at a reprieve and a defense that can keep a game close against any opponent. The injury status of Nico Collins, who suffered a concussion in Pittsburgh, will merit our attention. |

Steelers | Pittsburgh falls apart late in Wild Card loss Tue Jan 13, 12:15 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers connected on 17 of his 33 passing attempts for 146 yards, zero touchdowns, and an interception in a loss to the Houston Texans on Wild Card Weekend. Rodgers was sacked four times and fumbled twice, losing one. RB Jaylen Warren had 12 carries for 43 yards; he added a four-yard reception. RB Kenneth Gainwell picked up 20 yards on six carries, and he also caught four passes for 26 yards. WR DK Metcalf had two receptions for 42 yards; he was targeted five times. WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling logged 26 yards on three receptions. WR Adam Thielen posted two receptions for 25 yards. WR Calvin Austin was held to three catches and eight yards. TE Pat Freiermuth had an 18-yard reception for his lone catch, while TE Jonnu Smith turned two receptions into minus-one yard. LB Patrick Queen led the club with 10 tackles, including seven solo. CB Brandin Echols was credited with three stops and had an interception in the loss.
| Footballguys view: Unlike a heart-stopping fourth-quarter rally against Baltimore that earned them their first AFC North title since 2020, this time there was no late-game magic from Rodgers and the Steelers. Instead, Mike Tomlin's postseason losing streak hit seven, tying Marvin Lewis of the Bengals for the longest playoff skid by an NFL coach. While the NFL's longest-tenured coach is all but assured of returning for a 20th season if he wants, Pittsburgh heads into yet another offseason likely searching for another quarterback and answers to a playoff drought whose weight seems to grow by the year. |

Link to story Rams | Terrance Ferguson may be available Mon Jan 12, 04:06 PM
Los Angeles Rams TE Terrance Ferguson (hamstring) has a good chance to be available for the Divisional Round playoff game, according to head coach Sean McVay.
| Footballguys view: Ferguson missed the last two games with a hamstring injury that popped up on Friday before the finale against the Arizona Cardinals, but he's making progress, too. Ferguson's return would give the Rams even more talent and depth at an already rich position, with Tyler Higbee back and Colby Parkinson playing well. |
Packers | Tucker Kraft ahead of schedule Mon Jan 12, 01:50 PM
Green Bay Packers TE Tucker Kraft (knee) said he is ahead of schedule in his recovery from a torn anterior cruciate ligament.
| Footballguys view: The Packers usually require nine months of recovery for players coming off ACL repairs. Kraft will be at 10 months come Week 1 and, as he said, "hopefully bulletproofed by then." At the time of his injury, in the eighth game of the season, Kraft was second on the Packers in receptions with 32, and his 15.3 yards per catch was uncommonly high for a tight end. He led the team in touchdown receptions with six and was TE2 for fantasy purposes through Week 8. We'll be watching his progress closely. |

Atlanta Falcons TE Kyle Pitts won't get "top tight end money" from the Falcons in free agency, in the opinion of ESPN's Dan Graziano.

That said, Pitts finished with 88 receptions for 928 yards and five touchdowns. It was Pitts' best season since that inaugural campaign in 2021. We'll be watching this one closely. |

Eagles | Dallas Goedert not a lock to return in 2026 Mon Jan 12, 01:04 AM
Philadelphia Eagles TE Dallas Goedert is set to become a free agent this offseason, and he'll only be back with the Eagles if he's willing to sign a 'team-friendly' deal, in the opinion of ESPN's Dan Graziano.
| Footballguys view: It looked like Goedert wasn't going to return for the 2025 season, but then the two sides finally reached an agreement on a one-year deal to bring him back for his 8th NFL season. The 31-year-old in 2025 played in 15 games and caught 60 passes for 591 yards and a career-high 11 touchdown catches. He had two more touchdowns in the playoff game, but cost will be a determining factor in a potential return. |

Patriots | Pats ride defense into Divisional Round Sun Jan 11, 11:14 PM
New England Patriots QB Drake Maye completed 17 of his 29 passes for 268 yards, a touchdown and an interception, and he rushed seven times for a team-high 69 yards in a 16-3 win over the Los Angeles Chargers in the Wild Card game. Maye also lost a fumble. RB Rhamondre Stevenson finished with 10 carries for 53 yards and caught three passes for a team-best 75 yards, and RB TreVeyon Henderson gained just 11 yards on seven carries while catching one pass for nine yards. WR Kayshon Boutte hauled in four passes for 66 yards, and TE Hunter Henry turned three catches into 64 yards and a score. WR Stefon Diggs was limited to 16 yards on two receptions, and Efton Chism III caught a 20-yard pass and failed to complete his only pass attempt. WR Kyle Williams ended up with one catch for seven yards, and WR Demario Douglas gained three yards on his only catch. S Craig Woodson's 11 tackles led the team, and his seven solo stops were also a high mark for New England. The Patriots combined for six sacks and 11 quarterback hits, and DT Milton Williams and LB K'Lavon Chaisson both notched a pair of sacks.
