We’re down to four teams. That’s right, only four teams are left with a chance to take home the Lombardi Trophy. You would think that with just four teams alive, there would be fewer injuries to talk about, and while the quantity may be down, the impact of injuries at this point might be greater than at any point during the 2025 NFL season. With that said, let’s take a look at the most impactful injuries around the league this week.

Let’s dive in.

 

 

 

NFL Conference Championship Injury Report: Quarterbacks

Bo Nix, Denver Broncos

1/24 UPDATE

Broncos fans got terrible news shortly after their win this week over Buffalo. That news was that Bo Nix has suffered a broken ankle and would miss the remainder of the playoffs. This is a huge blow, and his backup is Jarrett Stidham, who hasn’t thrown an NFL pass since 2023.

Sam Darnold, Seattle Seahawks

1/24 UPDATE

Darnold was placed on the injury report last week with an oblique injury, but ended up playing. He’s good to go this week as well, as he is fully off the injury report going into the weekend.

 

NFL Conference Championship Injury Report: Running Backs

J.K. Dobbins, Denver Broncos

1/24 UPDATE

Dobbins logged three limited practices this week, but was ultimately ruled out for this weekend. If Denver makes it to the Super Bowl, he has a legitimate shot at playing in the game.

Zach Charbonnet, Seattle Seahawks

1/24 UPDATE

Charbonnet has officially been placed on injured reserve with his torn ACL. George Holani has been added to the roster in his place, giving Seattle some RB depth back.

Pat Bryant, Denver Broncos

1/24 UPDATE

Bryant logged a full practice and has no injury designation, indicating he should be good to go this weekend after suffering a concussion last week. His return will be notable for the team as various players are dealing with injuries.

Mack Hollins, New England Patriots

1/24 UPDATE

Hollins returned to practice this week, and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday. Should he return, he will likely step right into work for this Patriots offense as he was building a connection with Drake Maye prior to injury.

 

NFL Conference Championship Injury Report: Tight Ends

Elijah Arroyo, Seattle Seahawks

1/24 UPDATE

Arroyo ended up missing the divisional round of the playoffs due to his knee injury. He’s got a chance to return for the conference round, but it remains to be seen at this point.
