Derick Hall LB | SEA
Seahawks' Derick Hall: Notches sack in return
Hall recorded 1.0 sacks on his only tackle in Saturday's 13-3 win over the 49ers.
Hall returned from his suspension to play 50 percent of the defensive snaps in the crucial divisional game. The 2023 second-round pick piled up 8.0 sacks in 2024, but he posted just 2.0 sacks this season due to the stellar play of DE Leonard Williams and LB Uchenna Nwosu, who both stacked up 7.0 sacks. Hall should continue to handle a middling role during the postseason.

Vikings' Bryson Nesbit: Sticking around in Minnesota
Nesbit signed a reserve/future contract with the Vikings on Monday.
Nesbit didn't hear his name being called during the 2025 NFL Draft but still managed to catch on with the Vikings in late April. He spent his entire rookie season on the team's practice squad and was not elevated to the active roster. He'll participate in offseason activities with Minnesota and aim to crack the 53-man roster for the 2026 campaign.

Seahawks' Jarran Reed: Records 2.5 sacks in 2025
Reed recorded two solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks, in Saturday's 13-3 win over the 49ers.
Reed had produced 11.5 sacks through the previous two seasons, but his workload decreased with the emergence of second-year NT Byron Murphy, leading to just 2.5 sacks during the 2025 regular season. His role should remain similar during the postseason beginning in the divisional round.

Eric Saubert TE | SEA
Seahawks' Eric Saubert: Handles increased workload
Saubert caught two of three targets for 10 yards in Saturday's 13-3 win over the 49ers.
Saubert logged a season-high 72 percent snap share, pacing ahead of AJ Barner, who handled a 60 percent share. This likely won't continue in the playoffs, as Saubert has recorded just four receptions for 31 yards through 11 games this season.

Jason Myers K | SEA
Seahawks' Jason Myers: Misses two kicks in win
Myers connected on two of four field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try in Saturday's 13-3 win over the 49ers.
Myers struggled in this crucial divisional game, missing field goals from 47 and 26 yards, but the Seahawks' defense performed superbly to secure the first-round bye. The veteran kicker has now hit 41 of 48 field goals (85 percent) through 17 games, and he has drilled all 48 extra-point attempts. Myers has played in four playoff games with the Seahawks, connecting on five of seven field goals and all eight extra-point attempts.

Joaquin Davis WR | MIN
Vikings' Joaquin Davis: Staying in Minnesota
The Vikings signed Davis to a reserve/future contract Monday.
Davis caught on with the Vikings' practice squad in early December after failing to make the Broncos' 53-man roster at the end of training camp. The undrafted rookie out of North Carolina Central did not appear in a regular-season game in 2025, but he'll stay with the Vikings and participate in offseason activities in 2026.

Dontae Fleming WR | MIN
Vikings' Dontae Fleming: Inks future deal with Minnesota
The Vikings signed Fleming to a reserve/future contract Monday.
Fleming joined the Vikings as an undrafted free agent in April and spent the entire 2025 season on the team's practice squad after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He was not elevated to the active roster for his rookie season, but Fleming will stick around with the organization and participate in offseason activities with an eye toward making the roster for the 2026 campaign.

AJ Barner TE | SEA
Seahawks' AJ Barner: Snares two passes in win
Barner caught two of three targets in Saturday's 13-3 win over the 49ers.
Barner finished the regular season second on the Seahawks in receptions (52), third in receiving yards (519) and second in receiving touchdowns (six). He also added one rushing score. Barner is an intriguing player with weekly touchdown upside, and he'll get a week of rest before the Seahawks begin their playoff run in the NFC divisional round.

Jeshaun Jones WR | MIN
Vikings' Jeshaun Jones: Reverts to PS, inks future deal
Jones reverted to the Vikings' practice squad Monday and signed a reserve/future contract with Minnesota.
Jones was elevated to the Vikings' active roster for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Packers, when he played seven snaps on special teams and returned two punts for five yards in a 16-3 win. It was the first regular-season appearance for Jones since he entered the league as an undrafted free agent in April 2024. He's stuck around the Vikings organization over the last two seasons and will participate in offseason activities with the hope of earning a spot on the active roster for 2026.

Jacoby Jones WR | PIT
Commanders' Jacoby Jones: Inks future deal with Washington
The Commanders signed Jones to a future/reserve contract Monday.
Jones spent the entire 2025 campaign with Washington, appearing in one contest in Week 11 against the Dolphins and reeling in his only target for 25 yards over 11 offensive snaps. The wide receiver will now look to compete for a reserve role behind Terry McLaurin on the active roster in 2026.
