Leslie Frazier

SEA Coaching Staff

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports Seahawks assistant HC Leslie Frazier will interview with the Cowboys on Monday for their head coaching vacancy.

The Cowboys are late to the head coaching cycle after waiting over a week to announce that Mike McCarthy would not return to the team. Frazier served as the Vikings’ head coach from 2011-2013 but has bounced around the league since 2014 while serving in a number of capacities. His longest stint was with the Bills (2017-2022), where he served as their defensive coordinator before adding assistant head coach to his job description in 2020. A well-renowned defensive mind, Frazier is one of several candidates who are expected to speak with the Cowboys in the coming days as they begin to build out their coaching search.
Todd Monken

BAL Offensive Coordinator

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Ravens OC Todd Monken will interview with the Jaguars on Thursday and the Bears on Friday for their head coaching vacancies.

Monken’s two years with the Ravens have gone about as well as one could hope for. The long-time offensive coordinator is on the verge of leading his quarterback to his second MVP in as many seasons and has a divisional-round matchup against the Bills on tap this weekend. Monken’s pass attacks are well-respected around the league, so it doesn’t come as a surprise to see two teams with young signal callers vying for his services. Monken’s only experience as a head coach was with the University of Southern Mississippi (2013-2015). He went 13-26 during his three seasons with the team but went 9-5 in his final season after inheriting a team that had gone 0-12 in 2012.
Tyler Higbee

LAR Tight End #89

Tyler Higbee (chest) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

Higbee is already practicing after a hospital visit earlier this week, putting him on track to play barring setbacks. Higbee finished second on the team in targets (five) and receptions (five) and led the team in receiving yards (58) last week. His expected presence is huge for the Rams’ upset odds.
Joe Mixon

HOU Running Back #28

Joe Mixon (ankle) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

Details on the injury have not yet been released but this is a story to follow closely. Popping up on the injury report with a mid-week Limited Participant status suggests Mixon suffered this injury in Wednesday’s practice. He notably missed Weeks 3-5 due to an ankle injury but whether this can be considered an aggravation remains unknown. Mixon will likely play through the pain but would be at risk for an in-game setback.
David Montgomery

DET Running Back #5

David Montgomery (knee) practiced in full on Wednesday.

Montgomery’s continued participation suggests he remains setback-free. He told reporters earlier today that he is “ready to go” and his practice status confirms it. It is likely that the Lions continue to lean on Jahmyr Gibbs but Montgomery should be able to at least chip in, in lower-stakes situations.
A.J. Brown

PHI Wide Receiver #11

A.J. Brown (knee/rest) was not seen practicing on Wednesday.

The Eagles have limited Brown’s practice and in-game participation whenever possible as he manages an ongoing knee issue. Unfortunately, the plan has yet to pay dividends; Brown has caught just 4-of-8 targets for 46 yards in his last two games and was given the week off in Week 18. The Eagles will need Brown to contribute against the Rams this week if they hope to keep pace with the Rams’ potent offense. The Eagles later confirmed Brown did not practice at all on Wednesday.
Zay Flowers

BAL Wide Receiver #4

Zay Flowers (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

Head coach John Harbaugh told reporters on Monday the Ravens were in “we’ll see mode” with Flowers. While an early-week DNP doesn’t rule him out, he does appear to be less than a 50-50 bet to play this week. Harbaugh did note that Flowers isn’t a player who needs to practice before suiting up. It remains a waiting game for now. If he can’t go, Rashod Bateman will set in as the team’s No. 1 receiver with Mark Andrews as the top overall target.
Ben Johnson

DET Offensive Coordinator

The Las Vegas Review-Journal’s Vinny Bonsigno reports there is “a lot of momentum” for Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson taking the Raiders head coaching job.

NFL Network reported last week that the Raiders have become “enamored” of Johnson, who has turned the Jared Goff-led Lions into one of the most efficient offenses in the NFL over the past couple years. Fox Sports announcer Tom Brady, who is also part owner of the Raiders, has reportedly been deeply involved in the Raiders’ head coaching search after Vegas parted ways with Antonio Pierce after a disappointing 2024 season. Johnson has been careful with his head coaching opportunities, so it’s far from a sure thing he’ll take the Vegas job.
Robert Saleh

FA Head Coach

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the Cowboys have interest in former Jets head coach Robert Saleh for the team’s head coaching vacancy.

Rapoport said the Cowboys are expected to request an interview with Saleh, 45, who was fired by the Jets in October after a rocky start to the year. He went 20-36 with the Jets over three-plus seasons and has drawn interest from a number of teams over the past couple weeks. The Niners have talked to Saleh about once again becoming the team’s defensive coordinator, and ESPN reported this week that Saleh is a “sleeper” for the Jacksonville head coaching job. The Raiders have also talked to Saleh about their head coach vacancy. He could have his choice of head coaching opportunities over the next week or so.
David Montgomery

DET Running Back #5

David Montgomery said he’s “ready to go” for the Divisional Round against the Commanders.

Montgomery practiced in full Tuesday after missing two games with an MCL injury. “It’s just refreshing kind of to be back in the position where I can help the team,” Montgomery told reporters Tuesday. “I wouldn’t be out there if I wasn’t ready.” If Montgomery suits up against Washington, The Detroit Free Press’ Rainer Sabin said it remains “unclear” how much he will play in his return to action. Jahmyr Gibbs should remain the Lions’ lead back in a matchup against a soft Commanders rush defense that should have a tough time containing Detroit’s league-best rushing attack.
