NFL Divisional Round Buzz: X-Rays Negative for Rams QB Stafford; Parsons Back Week 1?
The wild-card round is still ongoing, but it's not too early to look ahead to the divisional round.
Every bit of injury news becomes more consequential as the postseason progresses. Who's hurt? Who's practicing? Who's starting?
Let's take a look at some of the most noteworthy updates around the league ahead of the divisional round.
Josh Allen will continue the postseason without one of his top deep-ball threats. The Buffalo Bills announced Monday wide receiver Gabe Davis will miss the rest of the playoffs after tearing his ACL in Buffalo's wild-card win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.
Davis, who's in his second stint with the team, logged two receptions for 14 yards against the Jaguars after recording 12 receptions for 129 yards and one touchdown in six regular-season games (five starts).
Headed into their divisional round matchup against the Bears, the Rams can put aside any concerns about quarterback Mathew Stafford's throwing hand. X-rays came back negative, FOX Sports NFL insider Jay Glazer reported Sunday.
Stafford appeared to injure his right hand while following through on a pass in the first half of L.A.'s win over the Carolina Panthers on Saturday. The veteran QB was in pain after his throwing hand hit the arm of a Carolina defensive lineman, but he stayed in the game.
Stafford's day took a turn around the same time as that play — he had a stretch during the middle two quarters where he completed just 4 of 19 passes. He regrouped in the fourth quarter, however, and had one of his best quarters of the season. Stafford finished the day 24-of-42 for 304 yards, three touchdowns and an interception.
He'll be ready for the Bears next weekend in Chicago.
