New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) lead the way during "competition" periods of the team's late-season practices.

"It's like watching […]

George Kittle On Track To Play Against Packers

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (back) and wide receiver Danny Gray (shoulder) were both full participants in practice on Wednesday for the second straight day this week.

Aaron Jones Limited Again In Wednesday's Practice

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (finger, knee) remained limited in the team's practice on Wednesday. Jones has been limited in practices for a while as he plays through some nagging injuries, but they haven't slowed him down at all. In fact, not only did he score three touchdowns in the surprising wild-card win […]

Ravens Waive Melvin Gordon III

The Baltimore Ravens announced on Wednesday that they have waived running back Melvin Gordon III. Gordon's departure makes room on the active roster for Dalvin Cook, who could be a pretty big part of Baltimore's backfield as they look for more production in the postseason next to Gus Edwards and Justice Hill. The 30-year-old Gordon […]

Kadarius Toney, Justyn Ross Limited In Practice

Kansas City Chiefs wide receivers Kadarius Toney (ankle, hip) and Justyn Ross (hamstring) were both listed as limited for the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (ankle), who remains on Injured Reserve, was upgraded to a full practice participant on Wednesday after he was listed as limited on Tuesday.

Both Baltimore Ravens wide receivers Zay Flowers (calf) and Devin Duvernay (back) were full participants in practice on Wednesday.

Kalif Raymond Still Missing From Practice

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond (knee) was missing from the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday.

Chase Edmonds Picks Up DNP For Walkthrough

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Chase Edmonds (toe) was listed as a non-participant for Wednesday's walkthrough practice. We'll have a better idea of whether Edmonds' injury is serious enough to keep him out of the Divisional Round this Sunday against the Detroit Lions once the team releases their Thursday injury report. The 27-year-old had seven […]

Chris Godwin Sits Out Wednesday's Walkthrough

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (knee) did not take part in the team's walkthrough practice on Wednesday.

Rasul Douglas, Tyrel Dodson Practicing Wednesday

Buffalo Bills cornerback Rasul Douglas (knee) and linebacker Tyrel Dodson (shoulder) will practice in some capacity on Wednesday.

Cornerback Christian Benford (knee), linebacker Terrel Bernard (ankle), safety […]

The […]

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams (hand) had successful surgery on Tuesday to fix a broken bone in his hand, according to head coach Sean McVay.
