NFL Injury Report 2025 - Fantasy Football Wild Card Round: Davante Adams, Omarion Hampton

The seeding is set, and the NFL Playoffs have arrived! With 14 teams vying for the chance to be the 2025 Super Bowl Champions, we’re still looking through the NFL to try to gain an edge on the injuries around the league. With playoff matchups locked in, it’s important to understand who is hurt and who could be a surprise player behind them.

Let’s dive in.
 

NFL Wild Card Round Injury Report: Quarterbacks

Justin Herbert, Los Angeles Chargers

Herbert sat out in Week 18, but this was mostly due to the game having little importance to the season. He’s expected to return to action against the Patriots.
 

NFL Wild Card Round Injury Report: Running Backs

Omarion Hampton, Los Angeles Chargers

Hampton sat out practice all week and was ultimately ruled out in Week 18. He will need to return to practice to return to the lineup this weekend, but should he return, he does have a tough matchup against a Patriots defense that has allowed the 5th least rushing yards per game amongst playoff teams. If he’s inactive, expect Kimani Vidal to step up in his place.
 

NFL Wild Card Round Injury Report: Wide Receivers

Rome Odunze, Chicago Bears

Rome was ultimately inactive against the Lions, but he did return to practice last week, and hopefully will return to action against Chicago. We’ll have to wait for more reports to be sure, but his rejoining the lineup should be a spark for the Chicago offense that struggled against Detroit.

Davante Adams, Los Angeles Rams

Adams is expected to return from his hamstring injury against the Panthers. His return to action will be appreciated by Stafford, who targeted Adams on 36 percent of his red zone throws.

Ricky Pearsall, San Francisco 49ers

Pearsall sat out in week 18, but it’s expected that this was mostly precautionary to help him get as healthy as possible for the playoffs. He’s currently expected to return to action, but we will monitor reports throughout the week.

NFL Wild Card Round Injury Report: Tight Ends

Terrance Ferguson, Los Angeles Rams

Ferguson has been dealing with a hamstring injury that caused him to be inactive this past week. Even if he returns to action, Tyler Higbee’s return plus Colby Parkinson make him a rotational piece at best at the current. 

Dallas Goedert, Philadelphia Eagles

Goedert sat out the week 18 matchup against Washington. He didn’t practice at all last week and will likely need to return to practice in a limited fashion to return to action against San Francisco. His return will be important to Philly, as his backup, Grant Calcaterra, left Week 18’s game with a knee/ankle injury.
