Amari Kight OL | SEA
Seahawks' Amari Kight: Doubtful for Sunday
Kight (knee) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Rams, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Kight was unable to practice in Wednesday or Thursday's sessions and will likely be unable to suit up for the third matchup between the Seahawks and Rams. The depth offensive lineman's absence means the health of Josh Jones (knee), who is listed as questionable, will be key for the Seahawks' offensive line reserves.

Sam Darnold QB | SEA
Seahawks' Sam Darnold: Set to play Sunday
Darnold (oblique) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Rams, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Darnold was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday as he continues to manage an oblique injury that occurred in practice last Thursday, but he'll be available to face the Rams on Sunday. In this past Saturday's 41-6 divisional-round win over the 49ers, Darnold was efficient with modest volume, completing 12 of his 17 passing attempts for 124 yards with one touchdown and no turnovers en route to compiling a 110.9 passer rating.

Chazz Surratt LB | SEA
Seahawks' Chazz Surratt: Ruled out for Sunday
Surratt (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Rams, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Surratt logged full participation in consecutive practices Wednesday and Thursday but will remain on injured reserve for Sunday's contest. The depth option at linebacker is primarily a special-teamer, logging just seven defensive snaps over 11 games this season. If the Seahawks can beat the Rams and advance to the Super Bowl, Surratt may be called upon to provide additional defensive depth.

Byron Young DE | LAR
Rams' Byron Young: Likely playing in NFC Championship
Young (knee) will practice in a limited fashion Friday and will be listed as questionable for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Seahawks.
The third-year pro from Tennessee opened the Rams' week of practice with consecutive DNPs but upgraded to a limited session Friday, suggesting he's trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's contest. Despite his questionable designation, head coach Sean McVay told reporters Friday that Young is "going to be ready to go," so he's expected to suit up for the NFC Championship Game. If active Sunday, Young will operate as one of Los Angeles' top pass rushers, having recorded 12.0 sacks during the regular season.

Zach Charbonnet RB | SEA
Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Placed on IR
The Seahawks have placed Charbonnet (knee) on IR, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Charbonnet suffered a season-ending knee injury during Seattle's divisional-round win over the 49ers this past Sunday, an issue that coach Mike Macdonald noted Monday that he was "pretty sure" is "ACL (related)." To bolster the team's backfield depth behind starter Kenneth Walker, the Seahawks activated George Holani (hamstring) from IR on Friday. Charbonnet appears to be facing a lengthy recovery period, though at this stage a timetable on that front has yet to be outlined.

Dalton Kincaid TE | BUF
Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Played through torn PCL all season
Kincaid (knee) reportedly played with a torn PCL during the entire 2025 season, per Ryan Talbot of Syracuse.com.
Kincaid initially suffered the injury in November of 2024. He opted for rehab last offseason but subsequently remained bothered by the injury according to fellow TE Dawson Knox, which capped the 2023 first-rounder's snap counts during the 2025 campaign. Kincaid didn't play more than 55 percent of snaps on offense in any game during the regular season or playoffs. He may try to rehab the injury again this offseason, but if Kincaid opts for surgery, he could face an estimated recovery timeframe of six-to-nine months.

Bryce Cabeldue G | SEA
Seahawks' Bryce Cabeldue: Moves to IR
Cabeldue (knee) was placed on IR on Friday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
The rookie offensive lineman from Kansas State suffered an apparent knee injury and will now miss the remainder of the Seahawks' 2025 campaign on IR. While Cabeldue is sidelined, expect Christian Haynes to operate as Seattle's top reserve guard.

George Holani RB | SEA
Seahawks' George Holani: Back from IR
Holani (hamstring) has been activated off IR by the Seahawks in advance of Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Rams, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Holani, who was placed on IR on Nov. 29 due to a hamstring injury, logged back-to-back full practices Wednesday and Thursday before being activated by Seattle on Friday. His looming return to the mix gives the team some needed depth at running back behind starter Kenneth Walker in the wake of Zach Charbonnet having suffered a season-ending knee injury during the divisional round. In 11 regular-season contests, Holani recorded 22 carries for 73 yards and a touchdown and two catches for 15 yards while also playing a key role on special teams.

Elijah Arroyo TE | SEA
Seahawks' Elijah Arroyo: Activated Friday
Arroyo (knee) was activated from IR on Friday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Arroyo has been sidelined for the Seahawks' last five contests due to a knee injury sustained in Week 14, but it now appears he's ready to return for the NFC Championship game against the Rams. The 2025 second-round pick from Miami has had a solid rookie campaign, catching 15 of 26 targets for 179 yards and a touchdowns across 13 regular-season appearances. Now fully healthy, Arroyo is expected to operate as Seattle's No. 2 tight end Sunday, playing behind AJ Barner.

Mack Hollins WR | NE
Patriots' Mack Hollins: Questionable for Sunday
Hollins (abdomen) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Broncos, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
The Patriots placed Hollins on IR on Dec. 27, with the wideout having returned to a limited practice session Thursday. If Hollins -- who worked fully Friday -- is activated ahead of Sunday's contest (a move that would need to occur by Saturday afternoon), he'd bolster a New England WR corps that also includes Stefon Diggs, Kayshon Boutte, Kyle Williams, DeMario Douglas and Efton Chism. In such a scenario, Hollins would be a speculative fantasy option this weekend, considered he's coming off an injury as well as the Patriots' tendency to spread around targets in their passing game.
