T. Hill - QB

Taysom Hill (knee) is questionable for the Divisional Round against the Bucs.

If Hill can't go Sunday, Drew Brees will play every snap and get all the red-zone attempts.

L. Murray - RB

Latavius Murray (quad) is questionable for the Divisional Round against the Bucs.

Murray missed practice this week but was labeled as "day to day" by coach Sean Payton mid-week. He'll be a game-time call for Sunday. If he sits, Ty Montgomery could see some extra work behind Alvin Kamara, who would again be a threat for 25-plus touches.

D. Watson - QB

HOU

Breaking his Twitter silence Friday, Deshaun Watson tweeted, "I was on 2 then I took it to 10."

It was Watson's first tweet of the new year, and one would have to assume it's referring to his frustration level in Houston. Watson was reportedly extremely irked at the Texans' process that led the team to hire Patriots exec Nick Caserio as its new GM. Watson was kept out of the loop in that hiring, and the Texans have been trying to perform damage control ever since, with CEO Cal McNair stating he wants Watson's input on the new head coach. It may be too little, too late in Watson's eyes. He's also said to be frustrated with the team's insensitivity to social justice. Former owner Bob McNair, who has since passed, was in hot water with racist comments a few years back. Watson could look to force his way out of town this offseason, but we would think there's long way to go until we get to that point.

V. Miller - LB

DEN

9 News Denver's Mike Klis reports Von Miller is "under criminal investigation" by Parker police in Colorado.

“We’re not commenting on nature of the allegations," said Parker police spokesman Josh Hans. "We haven’t completed the investigation.” That's all we have so far, as Klis has added nothing to the report at this point.

C. Edwards-Helaire - RB

Clyde Edwards-Helaire (hip) is questionable for the Divisional Round against the Browns.

CEH got in some practice reps this week, and coach Andy Reid said the Chiefs will take this thing up to game time to decide if the rookie back is ready to return after getting hurt in Week 15. He's had three weeks of rest, but the injury looked significant at the time, so it's no surprise Edwards-Helaire is still fighting it. If he sits, Le'Veon Bell and Darrel Williams will split duties.

S. Watkins - WR

Sammy Watkins (calf) is out for the Divisional Round against the Browns.

Watkins was injured in the Week 16 win, and the two weeks off still wasn't enough to get him ready. He didn't practice at all this week. It'll be Mecole Hardman, Demarcus Robinson, and Byron Pringle soaking up snaps behind Tyreek Hill.

R. Jones - RB

Bucs coach Bruce Arians said Ronald Jones (quad) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's Divisional Round matchup with the Saints.

Jones looked better at Friday's practice, but his status for Sunday's game is still up in the air. Even if he gets cleared, Leonard Fournette will start after rushing for 93 yards and a touchdown last week. Fournette's hot hand makes him the touch-favorite if both are active.

B. Perkins - QB

Rams promoted QB Bryce Perkins from the practice squad.

This was expected with John Wolford (neck) ruled out. Perkins will back up Jared Goff for Saturday's Divisional Round game with the Packers.
