The Patriots elevated Webb to the active roster from their practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's wild-card matchup versus the Chargers.

Webb joined the team's practice squad back in August, but this marks just the first time that he's been elevated for a game. The rookie undrafted free agent will now have a chance to make his NFL debut should he suit up against the Chargers.

The Jaguars elevated Jones to the active roster from their practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's wild-card matchup versus the Bills.

Jones will be elevated for the third time this season, although he's yet to appear in a game. The 27-year-old could contribute as a depth receiver and special teamer if called upon during Sunday's matchup.

The Bills elevated Gore to the active roster from their practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's wild-card matchup versus the Jaguars.

Gore is set to be elevated for the first time this season, as Ty Johnson is questionable due to an ankle injury. Gore would serve as the team's No. 3 running back behind James Cook and Ray Davis if Johnson ends up being unable to play.

The Packers elevated Neyor to the active roster from their practice squad Saturday ahead of their wild-card matchup versus the Bears.

Neyor will be elevated for just the first time this season despite having joined the team's practice squad in August. The 24-year-old will likely serve as a depth receiver if he ends up playing against Chicago.

Reed (forearm) was a full participant in Houston's practice Saturday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Reed is trending toward making his return after having been designated to return from injured reserve earlier in the week. The 22-year-old has been sidelined for the last five weeks but should resume his role as a special teamer and depth defender if he manages to suit up for Monday's wild-card matchup versus the Steelers.

Chubb is set to serve as the Texans' RB2 behind Woody Marks for Monday's wild-card game against the Steelers after Jawhar Jordan (ankle) was ruled out.

Chubb saw just one carry in two of his last three games in the regular season before being rested for Week 18 against the Colts. He opened the season as the Texans' top running back and logged double-digit carries in six of Houston's first eight games, but he has since been surpassed by the rookie Marks. Dare Ogunbowale and British Brooks will also be on hand to provide backfield depth behind Chubb and Marks.

Smith (glute) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's wild-card game against the Texans, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Smith popped up on Friday's injury report as a limited practice participant due to a glute injury. He was able to log a full session Saturday, which was enough for him to fade an injury designation for Monday's playoff game. Smith logged just one catch (on two targets) for two yards during the Steelers' regular-season finale against the Ravens, and he'll operate as a rotational option in the passing game behind fellow tight end Pat Freiermuth.

Lassiter (ankle/knee) was a full participant in Houston's practice Saturday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Lassiter is seemingly healthy again after missing the team's Week 18 win over the Colts due to ankle and knee injuries. The 22-year-old is expected to resume his role as one of the team's starting cornerbacks alongside Derek Stingley for Monday's wild-card matchup versus the Steelers.

Jordan (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's wild-card game in Pittsburgh.

Jordan came out of Week 18 with a high-ankle sprain and wasn't able to practice in any capacity Thursday through Saturday, so the decision to keep him on the sideline comes as little surprise. With Jordan set to be inactive, Houston's backfield options behind starter Woody Marks will be Nick Chubb, Dare Ogunbowale and British Brooks. Jordan's next chance for game action will come in the divisional round, assuming the Texans emerge victorious Monday.

Huff appeared in 15 games for the 49ers in 2025 and finished the regular season with 30 tackles (14 solo), 4.0 sacks and two forced fumbles.

Huff was dealt to San Francisco after struggling to fit in with Philadelphia after signing a three-year contract with the Eagles in 2024. The pass-rush specialist couldn't sniff his previous career high of 10.0 sacks, but the 4.0 he recorded with the 49ers checked in as his second-highest mark through six years in the league. Huff remains under contract for the 2026 campaign, but he doesn't provide enough upside as an IDP option in fantasy when he only sees the field on passing downs.
