DeVonta Smith

PHI Wide Receiver #6

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

DeVonta Smith (back tightness) was a DNP on Friday but is expected to play in the Eagles’ Wild Card Round against the Packers.

The Eagles aren’t risking the health of any of their star players ahead of Sunday’s game against the Packers. Smith becomes the second receiver to be sidelined by the Eagles out of precaution, as the team has also exercised caution with A.J. Brown (knee) throughout the week. We’re still waiting for the Eagles to release their official injury report, but it seems as if Smith will be good to go regardless of what designation he carries heading into the weekend.
Jalen Hurts

PHI Quarterback #1

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said Jalen Hurts has cleared concussion protocol and will play in the Wild Card Round against the Packers.

This doesn’t come as much of a surprise after Hurts was upgraded to a full participant in Thursday’s practice. It was only a matter of time before the Eagles’ QB1 cleared protocol and was given the green light for Sunday’s Wild Card game. Hurts has participated in all three practices this week, and should be well-rested after missing the team’s last two games and barely playing in Week 16 against the Commanders before exiting the game. The Eagles are getting healthy at the right time, and should be at near full strength heading into Sunday.
Marshon Lattimore

WAS Cornerback #23

Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said Marshon Lattimore will play in the Wild Card Round against the Buccaneers.

After saying earlier in the week that Lattimore “hit all the markers” the team needed to see to clear him, Quinn confirmed Lattimore’s availability for Sunday night’s game against the Buccaneers. It will be the latest installment of the Marshon Lattimore vs. Mike Evans saga, as Lattimore expected to see plenty of his former division rival in the tilt. How healthy Lattimore is remains a mystery, as the veteran corner has dealt with this nagging hamstring injury for most of the season, but he’s well-enough to take the field for the Commanders in what will be just his third game with the team.
Aaron Glenn

DET Defensive Coordinator

Saints interviewed Lions DC Aaron Glenn for their head coaching vacancy.

Glenn spoke to the Jets on Thursday and has now sat down to speak with the Saints. The highly-coveted head coaching candidate still has meetings with the Raiders, Jaguars, and Bears on tap but declined a chance to speak with the Patriots. Glenn has ties to the Saints that go back to 2008, which marked his final year in the league as a player, but he also served as their defensive backs coach from 2016-2020 before joining the Lions in 2021 as their defensive coordinator. Glenn’s interviews are just getting started. He’ll likely go through a second round with several teams in the coming week.
Deshaun Watson

CLE Quarterback #4

Deshaun Watson ruptured his Achilles again, placing his 2025 season in doubt.

Things go from bad to worse for Watson, who tore his Achilles for a second time after suffering the initial injury less than three months ago. It’s hard to know the impact of this injury on the Browns, as the team has long been rumored to be interested in adding other quarterbacks this offseason. Some have gone as far as to speculate that Watson will “never play a meaningful snap for the Browns again.” Regardless, Watson faces an even longer road to recovery after undergoing another surgery on Thursday to repair this second tear. It wouldn’t be surprising if this injury sidelined Watson for all of next season. According to Jason Fitzgerald of Over the Cap, if Watson re-injured himself while doing something “he was not supposed to be doing” the guarantees in his contract could be at risk.
Mike Locksley

FA Head Coach

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the Jets interviewed Maryland head coach Mike Locksley for their head coaching vacancy.

The Jets are truly leaving no stone unturned. Their in-depth search for their next head coach has now hit the college ranks in a somewhat unprecedented fashion. Locksley, who has spent the last six seasons with Maryland, has a lifetime 35-67 record as a head coach and has never held a job in the NFL. Well-renowned for his ability as a recruiter, Locksley seems like an unlikely candidate to make the leap from college to the pros with no NFL experience, especially when you consider his .343 career winning percentage.
Michael Pittman Jr.

IND Wide Receiver #11

Colts GM Chris Ballard said Michael Pittman Jr. won’t need surgery on his fractured back.

Pittman played through most of the season with his back injury. It should come as no surprise that he turned in the worst season since his rookie year as a result, but Pittman still posted a respectable 69-808-3 line over 16 games in a season that proved challenging for all Colts pass catchers. It sounds like some rest and rehab will be all Pittman needs to return healthy for a 2025 season that is already setting up to be a do-or-die year for Anthony Richardson, head coach Shane Steichen, and Ballard.
Mike McCarthy

DAL Head Coach

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports the Cowboys and Mike McCarthy “are expected to open talks” on a new contract.

Things felt as if they were trending in this direction after Cowboys owner Jerry Jones praised McCarthy’s efforts late in the year despite the lost season. The fact McCarthy wasn’t dismissed by Jones immediately after the season ended was also a good sign for the veteran head coach. McCarthy’s contract with the team is set to officially expire on January 14th, giving the Cowboys little time to get a deal done before McCarthy is free to speak with other teams. McCarthy has led the Cowboys to a 49-35 record during his first five seasons, but had three-straight 12-win seasons from 2021-2023. The team has work to do on the defensive side of the, but with Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb under long-term deals, the offensive weapons are there to make the Cowboys a contender again in 2025.
Diontae Johnson

HOU Wide Receiver #82

Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said the team will “continue to feed (Diontae Johnson) more” in the postseason.

Ryans spoke highly of Johnson, who caught 2-of-4 targets for 12 yards in the Week 18 finale against the Titans. Ryans said he was “really impressed with this last week of practice” from Johnson and praised him for picking up the offense quickly. It’s been a trying season for Johnson, who caught 30 passes for 357 yards and three touchdowns in seven games with the Panthers before a brief stint with the Ravens in which he caught 1-of-5 targets for six yards before being suspended by the team after refusing to go on the field in a game. With a big offseason coming up in free agency, a strong playoff performance would benefit Johnson, who has some brand rebuilding to do after being one of the league’s premiere target hogs through his first five years in the league.
Pete Carroll

FA Front Office

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Raiders will interview Pete Carroll for their vacant head coaching position.

The Raiders fired general manager Tom Telesco on Thursday, so that interview could take place before a new GM is put into place. Carroll completed an interview with the Bears on Thursday, and the 73-year-old appears invigored to return to the NFL after his long tenure with the Seahawks ended in 2024. The Raiders are also expected to interview Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn and Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo.
