Ogunbowale played 18 snaps on special teams in Sunday's 28-16 playoff loss to New England.

Ogunbowale never stepped on the field with the offense and finished out his fourth season in Houston with 11 carries for 25 yards and one touchdown. He added 10 catches on 13 targets for 76 yards over 17 regular-season games. The 31-year-old back, who served as a captain in 2025, has done a little bit of everything during his Texans tenure, including serving as an emergency placekicker. He enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent but is popular within the organization, and Ogunbowale's experience as a special teams player could lead to a return to Houston.

Chubb had four carries for 14 yards and failed to catch his lone target in Sunday's 28-16 playoff loss to New England.

Chubb finished up his first season in Houston with 122 carries for 506 rushing yards and three touchdowns. He added 13 catches on 20 targets for 67 yards. Chubb was meant to back up Joe Mixon (foot) but opened the season atop the depth chart before Woody Marks eventually pushed him aside for the lead role. Chubb averaged just 4.4 carries per game over the final seven weeks of the regular season, and the 31-year-old enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent.

Head coach Mike Macdonald told reporters Monday that Holani (hamstring) could be activated from injured reserve ahead of this Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Rams, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Zach Charbonnet is believed to have torn his ACL during the Seahawks' 41-6 win over the 49ers during Saturday's divisional-round game. With Holani on IR, that leaves Kenneth Walker as the lone healthy running back on Seattle's active roster, and Velus Jones and Cam Akers are options to be elevated from the practice squad. Holani mostly contributed on special teams prior to landing on IR in late November due to a hamstring injury, and in the 11 regular-season games before his injury, he turned 22 carries into 73 yards and one touchdown while adding two catches (on as many targets) for 15 yards. If activated from IR, Holani would in be in line to slot in as the Seahawks' RB2 behind Walker.

Jones reverted to the Seahawks' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Jones played 16 snaps (11 on offense, five on special teams) during the Seahawks' 41-6 win over the 49ers during Saturday's NFC divisional-round game. He logged six carries for 10 yards, all of which came late in the fourth quarter in garbage time. Jones could have an elevated role in the Seahawks' offense for the NFC Championship Game against the Rams this Sunday after Zach Charbonnet likely tore his ACL against San Francisco, though George Holani (hamstring) could be activated from injured reserve this week to provide depth in the backfield.

Johnson reverted to the Patriots' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Johnson was limited to five snaps on special teams during the Patriots' 28-16 win over the Texans during Sunday's AFC divisional-round game, and in the process he returned two kickoffs for 47 yards. Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson handled all the backfield touches against Houston, but Johnson would likely be elevated to the Patriots' active roster for this Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Broncos if Terrell Jennings (concussion) is unable to play.

Coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that Darnold (oblique) will be "day-to-day" this week, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

Darnold suffered a left oblique injury last Thursday that left him questionable for this past Saturday's divisional-round game versus the 49ers, but he was able to suit up, start and play 47 of 53 offensive snaps en route to completing 12 of 17 passes for 124 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in a 41-6 win. The veteran QB wore padding over his left oblique to protect the issue, and Macdonald added Monday that the Seahawks will balance "making sure we get enough reps at the proper tempo, with the proper looks," and get him "the reps that he needs." That would seem to suggest Darnold will operate with practice restrictions this week, with Wednesday's injury report to reveal how much activity he logs in the first session ahead of Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Rams.

The Broncos reverted Moore to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Moore was elevated ahead of Saturday's divisional-round victory over the Bills but ended up being a healthy scratch. He's yet to get into a game for Denver -- all nine of his appearances this season came when he was a member of the Bills. However, two of Denver's wideouts (Troy Franklin (hamstring) and Pat Bryant (concussion)) suffered injuries Saturday, so Moore may be pressed into action Sunday in the AFC Championship Game against New England.

Coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that the Seahawks are "pretty sure" Charbonnet suffered a torn ACL in his left knee during Saturday's 41-6 divisional-round win against the 49ers, but the team hasn't determined the full extent of the injury, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

At the very least, Charbonnet will miss the rest of the postseason due to the knee injury, and Macdonald relayed to Adam Schefter of ESPN earlier Monday that it's "a significant knee injury, unfortunately. ... He's going to need surgery, so he's got a long road to come back." Once its severity becomes evident, a more precise timetable for Charbonnet's recovery should be more clear, but he appears poised to miss a good portion of the 2026 campaign. Kenneth Walker is set to lead the team's backfield in Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Rams and potentially beyond that point, while practice-squad members Velus Jones and Cam Akers are candidates to be brought up to the active roster, and George Holani (hamstring) also could be activated from IR.

Lohner reverted to Denver's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Lohner was elevated ahead of the Broncos' divisional-round win against Buffalo on Saturday but ended up being a healthy scratch. He's yet to log an NFL snap, so Lohner seems very unlikely to be asked to contribute during Denver's AFC Championship Game matchup against New England on Sunday.

The Bears reverted Kalinic to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Kalinic was elevated ahead of Sunday's divisional-round loss to the Rams and logged 18 snaps, all of which came on special teams. The York University product got into two regular-season games this season, with all 29 of his snaps coming as part of the special-teams unit. The Bears' season is over, so unless he's signed to one of the remaining playoff teams' active rosters (which is very unlikely), Kalinic will now set his sights on trying to earn a roster spot somewhere for the 2026 campaign.
