Brian Robinson Jr. RB | ATL
49ers' Brian Robinson: Just two carries in loss to SEA
Robinson rushed two times for nine yards and was not targeted as a receiver in Saturday's 13-3 loss to Seattle.
Robinson was only on the field for six offensive snaps (his lowest total since Week 8) with his club playing catch-up all evening. The veteran backup typically garners extra touches in contests San Francisco has a lead, but otherwise, it's been the Christian McCaffrey Show in 2025. Robinson appeared in all 17 regular-season contests in his first year with the 49ers, compiling 400 rushing yards and two touchdowns in a change-of-pace role. The 26-year-old will continue spelling CMC in the wild-card round of the playoffs.

Browns' Denzel Ward: Won't return vs. Cincinnati
Ward (neck) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Ward injured his neck in the first quarter, and medical staff have determined that the injury is severe enough for the veteran cornerback to not return. D'Angelo Ross and Sam Webb will continue to see more snaps on defense in Ward's absence.

Cameron Mitchell DB | IND
Colts' Cameron Mitchell: Exits with calf injury
Mitchell is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Texans due to a calf injury, Jane Slater of NFL Network reports.
Mitchell is being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return for the second half of Sunday's contest. Johnathan Edwards is in line for more snaps at outside corner for as long as Mitchell is sidelined.

Jaguars' Greg Newsome: Returns to game
Newsome (shoulder) has returned to Sunday's game against the Titans, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.

Demarcus Robinson WR | SF
49ers' Demarcus Robinson: Draws start in Week 18
Robinson had three receptions on four targets for 24 yards in Saturday's 13-3 loss to the Seahawks.
Robinson earned a rare start filling in for Ricky Pearsall (knee/ankle) and received the most playing time (88 percent) in a game this season. The 30-year-old Robinson couldn't parlay the larger role into notable fantasy production after finishing the loss with a pedestrian stat line. Pearsall's status for the wild-card round of the playoffs is still in question, but Robinson's minimal involvement on offense limits his fantasy upside even in games he is asked to start.

Markquese Bell SAF | DAL
Cowboys' Markquese Bell: Enters concussion protocol
Bell has entered the league's concussion protocol and has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Giants, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Bell went to the locker room during the second quarter of Sunday's game and was diagnosed with a concussion after an evaluation by medical staff. With Bell done for the day and Alijah Clark (personal reasons) inactive, the Cowboys will have no safeties behind Donovan Wilson and Malik Hooker the rest of the way. Cornerbacks C.J. Goodwin, Corey Ballentine and Trikweze Bridges could see some snaps at safety as a result of Bell's injury.

Jawhar Jordan RB | HOU

Corey Levin G | ATL
Titans' Corey Levin: Will not return Sunday
Levin (biceps) is out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.
Levin was already playing for Kevin Zeitler (quad), who is questionable to return to Sunday's game. With Drew Moss (coach's decision) inactive for Week 18, the Titans are short on depth at right guard. Jackson Slater could be an emergency option with Levin out and Zeitler still questionable.
