Landry (knee) was limited in practice Wednesday.

Landry is starting the week as a limited participant in practice as he continues to heal from a knee injury that kept him out of the final two games of the regular season. In his first game back, the 29-year-old garnered two tackles (one solo) in 26 defensive snaps. The eight-year veteran likely will have to practice in full by Friday to avoid an injury designation.

Jordan (ankle) was limited at practice Wednesday.

Jordan, who is managing a high-ankle sprain that he sustained in Week 18, didn't practice last week before being ruled out for this past Monday's wild-card win over the Steelers. The running back's return to the field Wednesday, albeit in a limited capacity, is a step in the right direction ahead of Sunday's divisional-round contest against the Patriots. If Jordan is able to return to action this weekend, he'd be in line to work in a complementary role in a Houston backfield led by Woody Marks, which also includes Nick Chubb.

Jennings (concussion) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.

Jennings officially opened his 21-day practice window, participating for the first time since being placed on injured reserve in Week 15. The 24-year-old will still need to progress through the NFL's five-step concussion protocol to have an opportunity to play in the Patriots' AFC divisional round matchup against the Texans.

Henry (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Henry was not spotted at the early portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, Taylor Kyles of CLNSMedia.com reports, but it appears he managed to get in limited reps despite having to manage a knee injury. Henry has scored three times in his last four appearances, including a 3-64-1 receiving line managed during New England's wild-card round win over the Chargers. He will have two more chances to upgrade to full practice reps ahead of Sunday's divisional-round game against the Texans.

The Steelers signed Henry to a reserve/future contract Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Henry was a free agent for the majority of the season, joining the Browns in Week 14 and eventually ending the season with the Steelers. In his one game active, the 26-year-old played five snaps on special teams without appearing on the stat sheet. The third-year pro will participate in Pittsburgh's offseason activities and attempt to earn a spot on the active roster next season.

Dobbins (foot) was spotted working on the side field at Wednesday's practice, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

Dobbins is working on the side field for the first time since suffering a left Lisfranc injury Week 10 and subsequently undergoing surgery. Reports have suggested that Dobbins is pushing to potentially return for Super Bowl LX if the Broncos advance through the entire AFC side of the playoff bracket, though Thomasson indicates that he could be a candidate to get back as early as the AFC Championship Game on Jan. 25. In any case, the first step would be for Denver to open Dobbins' 21-day practice window, and for Saturday's divisional-round matchup against the Bills, the team's backfield will continue to consist of RJ Harvey, Jaleel McLaughlin and Tyler Badie.

The Steelers signed Plumlee to a reserve/future contract Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

Plumlee has been on and off the Steelers' practice squad since late October, providing depth at wide receiver and quarterback for the team throughout the 2025 campaign. The 25-year-old was not elevated to the active roster during his tenure, but the Steelers seem to think he can contribute to the 2026 season. Plumlee will now have a shot to fight for a roster spot on next year's team.

The Steelers signed Nichols to a reserve/future contract Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

Nichols stuck with the Steelers' practice squad for the entire 2025 season and was elevated once for the Week 9 win over the Colts. The running back played 21 percent of special-teams snaps in the victory, getting his foot in the door as he looks to compete for a spot on the 2026 roster.

The Steelers signed Burgess to a reserve/future contract Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

Burgess spent the entire regular season as a free agent after being waived from the Bengals' practice squad in late August. The wide receiver will now have a chance to suit up for the Steelers and compete for a roster spot ahead of the 2026 season.

The Bills placed Shavers (ACL) on injured reserve Wednesday.

Shavers will miss the remainder of Buffalo's postseason run due to a torn ACL suffered during the team's wild-card round win over the Jaguars on Sunday. His injury leaves Khalil Shakir, Brandin Cooks and Keon Coleman as the only healthy options at wideout on the team's active roster, as Gabe Davis (knee) also suffered an ACL tear versus Jacksonville and was subsequentially placed on IR. Curtis Samuel (elbow) had his 21-day practice window opened Tuesday and was listed as a full participant in the team's walkthrough practice, so he could be an option to come off IR and provide added depth for Saturday's divisional-round matchup against Denver.
