Autry (knee) was a limited participant in Friday's practice.

Autry upgraded to a limited participant in Friday's practice after missing Thursday's session due to a persisting knee injury he sustained before the season. Since being activated from the reserve/PUP list, Autry has not missed a game due to the issue and will likely be able to upgrade his practice participation and dodge an injury designation before Monday night's wild-card clash with the Steelers. Autry has one more practice to make this leap, and if he fails to do so, the defensive end's status for Monday's game will be in jeopardy.

Warren (illness) practiced without limitations Friday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Warren missed Thursday's practice due to an illness, but his return to full participation Friday assuages any concerns about his availability for Monday's wild-card home game against the Texans. He's set to split backfield duties with Kenneth Gainwell against the stout Houston defense, which allowed the fourth-fewest rushing yards to running backs in the regular season.

Mekari (back) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's wild-card game against the Bills.

Mekari could slot back in at right guard, where he was playing prior injuring his back in Week 16 against the Broncos. Walker Little has been filling in at right guard, but Little may be needed at left tackle if the questionable Cole Van Lanen (knee) doesn't get the green light Sunday.

Greenlaw (hamstring) is expected to suit up for the Broncos' divisional round matchup, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Coach Sean Payton said that the team will "see most everyone back" in time for whatever home matchup the Broncos draw in the divisional round. The return of the linebacker would bolster a defense that already leads the NFL in sacks with 68. Greenlaw's return means that Karene Reid and Justin Strnad will likely see a reduction in defensive snaps.

Van Lanen (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's wild-card game against the Bills.

The Jaguars are mostly healthy heading into the playoffs, but the status of their starting left tackle is up in the air. If Van Lanen doesn't suit up, it could be a major blow considering his strong play has been an understated factor in Jacksonville's second-half surge this season. Walker Little would likely fill in if Van Lanen is unavailable.

Turner recorded 48 tackles (24 solo), including 7.0 sacks, and three pass defenses (including an interception) in 17 games in 2025.

There was a slight dip in overall numbers for the third-year pro, but it was still a successful campaign for Turner, who garnered his first interception in his pro career in Week 16 off Sam Darnold. After starting the year with just 1.5 sacks through Week 11, Turner went on a tear over the next five games, notching sacks in four out of five and recording a total of 5.5 in that span. Turner will be playing the final year of his rookie contract in 2026, and he should be looking at a healthy payday via an extension with the Rams or free agency after next year.

Ojulari (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's wild-card game against the 49ers.

Ojulari would need to be activated from injured reserve in order to suit up Sunday, but he has looked promising in practice after having his return window opened Wednesday, as he practiced without limitations Friday. If given clearance to play, Ojulari would likely work in a depth role after being limited to three appearances during the regular season.

Johnson (foot) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Johnson logged limited practices throughout the week, maintaining a chance to play in Sunday's game. The starting right tackle has not played in a game since Week 11 against the Lions, when he suffered a foot injury after just 14 snaps. If Johnson can return for Sunday's game he will replace Fred Johnson at offensive tackle, making the Eagles' offensive line whole again for the first time in seven weeks.

Epps (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's wild-card matchup against the 49ers.

Epps logged consecutive full practices to end the week and has officially cleared the league's concussion protocol. The free safety has avoided an injury designation just in time to start in Sunday's playoff clash. The 29-year-old is set to reclaim his starting role from fellow safety Sydney Brown, who will likely see fewer defensive snaps in Sunday's contest.

Hunt (biceps) was activated from injured reserve Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Saturday's wild-card game against the Rams, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Hunt will man his customary starting spot at right guard, which could provide a substantial boost to the effectiveness of Carolina's offensive line. After making the Pro Bowl in 2024, Hunt had been sidelined since Week 2 of the 2025 season by a torn biceps.
