DeVito (coach's decision) is inactive but operating as New England's third quarterback in Sunday's divisional-round matchup versus the Texans.

DeVito will continue serving as the emergency No. 3 QB for the Patriots' second playoff matchup. He'll only be able to enter Sunday's game if both starter Drake Maye and backup Josh Dobbs are forced out.

Jordan is inactive for Sunday's divisional-round game against the Patriots.

Jordan, who sat out this past Monday's wild-card win at Pittsburgh due to a high-ankle sprain that he sustained Week 18 against the Colts, had approached the contest without an injury designation, but the running back won't be available versus New England after all. In his continued absence, Woody Marks will continue to lead Houston's backfield Sunday, with Nick Chubb next up for carries.

Kupp recorded five receptions on five targets for 60 yards in Saturday's 41-6 divisional-round win over the 49ers.

Kupp was Sam Darnold's favorite target in the blowout win, and he led Seattle in targets, receptions and yards. He chipped in with long gains of 21, 15 and 11 yards, and posted his highest yardage total since Week 2. Kupp should have a decent chance to remain heavily involved in the NFC Championship Game, as Rashid Shaheed remains only a peripheral option and Seattle should be forced to the air more often than it was Saturday night.

Pearsall did not record a catch on two targets in Saturday's 41-6 divisional-round loss to the Seahawks.

Pearsall missed San Francisco's last two games with a knee injury that has plagued him for much of the season, though he managed to return after logging limited practices throughout the week. The 49ers seemingly made an effort to get him involved early with a target on the first play from scrimmage, though he ultimately wasn't prioritized in the offense. Pearsall was a popular breakout candidate in 2025, but the knee issue ultimately robbed him of the opportunity. If he is able to stay healthy heading into the 2026 season, he should still have the chance to be a priority in the offense.

Shaheed did not record a catch on two targets in Saturday's 41-6 divisional-round win over the 49ers. He added two rushes for 27 yards and two kick returns for 126 yards and a touchdown.

Shaheed remained a non-factor in Seattle's passing game, though he still made a major impact in the team's blowout win. He returned the opening kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown to set off the rout and also chipped in with a 30-yard gain on an end-around late in the second quarter to help set up an additional score. Shaheed looks likely to remain in more of a gadget role in the NFC Championship Game, but he serves in a key role for the Seahawks.

Jennings recorded two receptions on five targets for 39 yards in Saturday's divisional-round loss to the Seahawks.

Jennings was predictably one of Brock Purdy's favorite targets, though his stat line reflects San Francisco's inability to move the ball effectively in the loss. He did account for the team's longest play from scrimmage on a 19-yard catch and run to begin the second half, but he also had a key drop late in the third quarter on third down. While Jennings' season didn't end positively, he tallied a career-high nine touchdowns across 15 regular-season games.

Purdy completed 15 of 27 passes for 140 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Saturday's 41-6 divisional-round loss to the Seahawks. He added five rushes for 37 yards but lost a fumble.

Purdy put forth a valiant effort, though the combination of Seattle's pass rush and coverage, as well as a depletion of the 49ers' skill corps, ultimately stymied the entire offense. He was held to his second-lowest yardage total of the campaign, though he still managed three completions of at least 15 yards while also showing some uncharacteristic aggression as a rusher. Though it was a sour ending, Purdy had a very solid season, accounting for 23 total touchdowns and throwing for 240.8 yards per game across nine regular-season contests.

Darnold completed 12 of 17 passes for 124 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 41-6 divisional-round win over the 49ers.

Darnold suffered an oblique injury Thursday, and his status seemed genuinely in doubt until shortly before kickoff. However, he managed Seattle to victory, with his lone touchdown pass coming on an impressive throw on the run to Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the corner of the end zone from four yards away. Darnold also completed long passes of 21 and 16 yards, though his stat line was ultimately limited by game script and because he was removed with most of Seattle's starters for roughly half of the fourth quarter. Speaking after the victory, Darnold acknowledged that his oblique would likely be a factor for the rest of the postseason, per Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. It wouldn't be a surprise to see him on the injury report Wednesday.

Smith-Njigba recorded three receptions on four targets for 19 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 41-6 divisional-round win over the 49ers.

The Seahawks held a commanding lead for nearly the entire game, leading to only 17 pass attempts. That resulted in a modest stat line for Smith-Njigba, though he did manage an impressive four-yard catch in the back corner of the end zone to put the team up 17-0 late in the first quarter. Seattle will very likely be pushed more in the NFC Championship Game, and Smith-Njigba will remain Sam Darnold's primary target.

McCaffrey rushed the ball 11 times for 35 yards in Saturday's 41-6 divisional-round loss to the Seahawks. He added five receptions on six targets for 39 yards.

McCaffrey had a relatively muted stat line by his lofty standards, though he was one of the few players who was effective to any degree in the 49ers' offense. His longest gains from scrimmage all came as a receiver, as four of his five receptions went for at least eight yards. McCaffrey was limited as a rusher by the game script, and he was also forced to depart from the game on two separate occasions due to a stinger in his left shoulder. While it was a disappointing loss, McCaffrey turned in a standout effort for the campaign as a whole, logging 2,126 yards from scrimmage and 17 total touchdowns across 17 regular-season contests.
