The Cowboys signed Grier to a reserve/future contract Monday.

Grier spent the entire 2025 season on the Cowboys' practice squad after failing to beat out Joe Milton for the QB2 job behind Dak Prescott. Grier last saw regular-season action in 2019 with the Panthers (his rookie year), when he completed 28 of 52 passes for 228 yards, zero touchdowns and four interceptions in two games. He'll be on the Cowboys' 90-man roster when the offseason begins, which gives him the opportunity to participate in OTAs and minicamp.

The Chiefs signed Haener to a reserve/future contract Monday, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Haener didn't take a single snap during the 2025 season while serving as the QB3 behind Tyler Shough and Spencer Rattler (finger) in New Orleans. Haener -- a fourth-round selection of the Saints in the 2023 NFL Draft -- appeared in eight games (one start) in 2024, when he completed 18 of 39 pass attempts for 226 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Now in Kansas City, Haener will have the opportunity to earn a reserve QB role behind Patrick Mahomes (knee).

Rams head coach Sean McVay said Monday that Stafford will take time this offseason to decide whether to return for the 2026 campaign, but the team is "hopeful" the veteran quarterback will decide to play an 18th season in the NFL, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

McVay and GM Les Snead both signed contract extensions with Los Angeles on Monday, providing continuity for Stafford if he decides to return for the final year of his current deal with the team and play out next season. Top wideouts Puka Nacua and Davante Adams also remain under contract for one more year. The 38-year-old signal-caller put together an MVP-caliber showing in 2025 despite nursing an aggravated disk in his back to enter the year, completing 388 of 597 pass attempts for 4,707 yards and a career-high 46 touchdowns, to go with just eight interceptions, while playing all 17 regular-season games. Per Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register, McVay confirmed Stafford will not need any offseason procedures to address that back issue. Given the success the Rams found this season, culminating in a narrow 31-27 loss to the Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game, it seems likely that Stafford will opt to run it back for at least one more year.

Darnold (oblique) doesn't have a designation for Super Bowl LX versus the Patriots on Sunday, Feb. 8, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Prior to both of Seattle's first two playoff games, Darnold was listed as questionable due to a left oblique injury but still suited up, combining for 470 passing yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions in those contests. He remained listed as limited on all three practice reports of this week, but he seemingly has a clean bill of health before the final contest of the campaign.

Maye (right shoulder/illness) is listed as questionable for Super Bowl LX against the Seahawks on Sunday, Feb. 8.

With one week of Super Bowl prep in the books, Maye capped it with a missed practice Friday due to an illness, which followed back-to-back limited listings due to a right shoulder injury. The second issue mostly has been downplayed by coach Mike Vrabel and Maye himself, but his status still bears watching now that he's dealing with multiple health concerns. The Patriots won't post another injury report until next Wednesday, at which point Maye's availability for the final game of the season could have more clarity.

Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said Maye did not practice Friday due to a combination of illness and his right shoulder injury, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Maye managed a limited practice session Thursday, which included taking part in throwing drills, but his activity level has now been downgraded due to the addition of an ailment. He was also listed as limited on Wednesday's estimated injury report. Vrabel confirmed that if not for his new illness, Maye would have taken part in practice Friday, per Taylor Kyles of CLNSMedia.com. As such, it doesn't appear that there's any reason for elevated worry about Maye's health after Vrabel stated Thursday that there's "not much" concern about the status of the starting quarterback's shoulder. New England will have one more full week of practice to ramp up Maye's rep count in advance of Super Bowl LX against the Seahawks on Sunday, Feb. 8.

Maye (shoulder) is not present at the early portion of Friday's practice open to the media, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Maye was officially listed as limited at Thursday's practice, as well as on Wednesday's estimated report, though when speaking Thursday head coach Mike Vrabel said there's "not much" concern about the starting quarterback's right shoulder injury. After Thursday's session, Maye said he did take part in throwing drills and is "looking forward to trying to get some more reps here and there and feel it out," seemingly indicating New England's plan is for him to ramp up his activity level next week in advance of Super Bowl LX against the Seahawks. The release of Friday's official injury report will confirm whether or not Maye was able to get in any on-field reps.

Darnold (oblique) was limited at Thursday's walkthrough, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Darnold has been dealing with a left oblique injury since the Thursday before the Seahawks' divisional-round win against the 49ers, but he's been able to play through it, albeit with some padding on his left side, in the team's two playoff wins en route to 470 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions on 37-for-53 passing during that span. Coach Mike Macdonald told Brady Henderson of ESPN.com on Monday that Darnold is dealing with some "soreness" in the wake of Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Rams, and Seattle clearly continues to manage the injury 10 days out from Super Bowl LX versus the Patriots on Sunday, Feb. 8.

Maye (right shoulder) was limited at Thursday's practice.

Maye emerged from Sunday's win in the AFC Championship Game at Denver with a right shoulder injury, and while he wasn't seen throwing during the open portion of Thursday's session, per Phil Perry of NBC Sports Boston, the second-year quarterback told Mike Kadlick of CLNSMedia.com afterward that he did throw and that he's "looking forward to trying to get some more reps here and there and feel it out." The Patriots' Super Bowl LX matchup with the Seahawks is still 10 days away on Sunday, Feb. 8, giving Maye plenty of time to get as close to 100 percent as possible.

GM Mike Borgonzi said Thursday that Ward currently is rehabbing his right shoulder and is "doing well," Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Ward made an early exit from Tennessee's Week 18 loss at Jacksonville due to a right shoulder injury, which was revealed to be an AC joint sprain in the aftermath of the contest, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Borgonzi also told Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com that Ward doesn't have a specific timeline for his recovery, so it's unclear if he'll be healthy when OTAs kick off in May. As the first overall pick in the 2025 Draft, Ward started all 17 regular-season games as a rookie, completing 323 of 540 passes (59.8 percent) for 3,169 yards, 15 touchdowns and seven interceptions, rushing 39 times for 159 yards and two more TDs and fumbling 11 times (seven lost).
