    Dolphins practice squad DB Will Billingsley has been charged with domestic battery and resisting arrest.
    He allegedly assaulted his girlfriend, who was also taken into custody for trying to stop the arrest. Billingsley was an undrafted free agent in 2008.
  • FA Cornerback #8

    K’Waun Williams retired after 10 seasons in the NFL.
    Williams retires after not playing a snap in the 2023 and 2024 seasons. He began his career as an undrafted free agent for the Browns, spent a season with an ankle injury on the Bears, then played five seasons with the 49ers from 2017-2021. In his time with the 49ers, Williams started 36 games with 17 passes defended and four interceptions. His last season playing snaps was 2022 as the Broncos’ nickel cornerback. Williams’ 2023 season ended without playing a single snap due to an ankle injury. Though he was cleared to play for 2024, he did not sign with a team and the 33-year-old is now headed for retirement. His agent says Williams is set up with a real estate license in Florida for life after football.
  • WAS Tight End #82
    Commanders TE Ben Sinnott (shoulder) was limited in Tuesday’s practice.
    Sinnott left the Commanders’ Wild Card win against the Buccaneers with a shoulder injury. It does not seem like a major issue, with Sinnott being listed as limited for Tuesday. Regardless, Sinnott has had a minimal impact this season. He should not be considered for any DFS purposes with Zach Ertz poised for another start in the Divisional Round against the Lions.
  • HOU Tight End #86
    Dalton Schultz (shoulder) was limited in Tuesday’s practice.
    Schultz has been dealing with this shoulder injury since Week 15, but hasn’t been on the injury report with it until now. It’s likely that he’ll continue to be a touchdown-or-bust bet against the Chiefs in the Divisional Round. Schultz did, notably, catch a score against the Chiefs on Christmas. He also saw a season-high eight targets in that game.
  • HOU Wide Receiver #2
    Robert Woods (hip) did not practice on Tuesday.
    With the Texans cutting loose Diontae Johnson earlier today, we could see a condensed target tree for the Texans going forward. Woods probably isn’t in any real danger of missing the Divisional Round, but dealing with a hip injury is a boost for the odds of John Metchie and Xavier Hutchinson seeing expanded roles for sicko DFS purposes. Woods played 51 percent of the snaps against the Chargers last week and saw four targets.
  • KC Cornerback #35
    Chiefs CB Jaylen Watson (ankle/IR) practiced in full on Tuesday.
    Watson injured his ankle in Week 7’s win over the 49ers, and the Chiefs struggled to find decent cornerback play next to Trent McDuffie in his stead. Watson had a 74.2 PFF coverage grade in 221 coverage snaps this season. Andy Reid said he was “in good shape” and said “he has a chance of playing” earlier today. The full practice would certainly seem to suggest he has a good chance of being active on Saturday.
  • KC Defensive Lineman #95
    Chiefs DT Chris Jones (calf) practiced in full on Tuesday.
    Jones sat out the final two weeks of the season after injuring his calf against the Texans on Christmas, but he looks primed to be ready to go for the rematch on Saturday. The Week 18 rest likely would have happened either way. Kansas City’s best pass rusher finished the year with five sacks in 15 games, but a 91.0 PFF pass rush grade and a team-high 53 hurries.
  • MIN Coaching Staff
    NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports the Seahawks requested an interview with Vikings assistant quarterbacks coach Grant Udinski.
    The 28-year-old Udinski has been on the Vikings staff since 2022 and was previously a coaching assistant for the Panthers. This is the first known interview request for the young coach. A November Minneapolis Star-Tribune article declared Udinski “the most interesting man on the Vikings coaching staff” and noted that unofficially he’s J.J. McCarthy’s “mentor.” Udinski played tight end and defensive end at Davidson and Townsend, and also worked as a grad assistant to Matt Rhule before landing on his Panthers staff.
  • DET Cornerback #0
    Terrion Arnold (foot) practiced in full on Tuesday.
    After sustaining what had the look of a gruesome injury against the Vikings in Week 18, Arnold was upgraded to “alive” by the Lions. (OK, he was upgraded to day-to-day with a foot contusion.) This full session confirms we should expect to see Arnold on the field against the Commanders in the Divisional Round.
  • DET Running Back #5
    David Montgomery (knee) practiced in full on Tuesday.
    Montgomery has a high chance of playing against the Commanders after missing the last three weeks of the season with an MCL sprain. Dan Campbell noted last week that he expected that to be the case, and it is all coming together for Montgomery to return in the Divisional Round. He’ll likely step right back into his usual role splitting snaps with Jahmyr Gibbs, though it is possible Gibbs gets a larger share of the workload than usual if the Lions want to make sure everything is good with Montgomery early in the game.
  • FA Head Coach
    ESPN’s Dan Graziano writes that former Jets HC Robert Saleh is “a sleeper” for the Jaguars head coaching vacancy.
    Graziano is not the first person we have seen using Saleh’s tenure as Jacksonville’s linebackers coach from 2014-2016 as a positive point for Saleh. Saleh clearly has some fans in the building. The Jaguars have been widely expected to hire an offensive-minded coach, but most coaching scoop articles have slowly started to push Ben Johnson to Las Vegas based on not being able to bring his own general manager to Jacksonville. If the Jaguars do want to keep Trent Baalke badly enough to only hire a coach who will work with him, it makes some sense that they’d lean beyond the big obvious candidates and wind up with someone like Saleh.
