Injuries
Kyler Murray has been ruled out for the remainder of the season, and according to reports, his tenure with the Arizona Cardinals may be over.

While the team hasn’t confirmed his future beyond 2025, this marks a potentially significant turning point for the franchise.
The Buffalo Bills have placed veteran cornerback Darius Slay on the reserve/did not report list. No official reason has been given for Slay’s absence, but the corresponding move was the claiming of safety Darnell Savage, who could help stabilize the secondary during a critical playoff push.

Running back MarShawn Lloyd, DE Lukas Van Ness, LB Collin Oliver, and WR Savion Williams are ruled out. On a positive note, LB Quay Walker and DT Karl Brooks are cleared to play.
The Chicago Bears also face a banged-up roster ahead of their game in Green Bay. Wide receiver Rome Odunze, defensive back Tyrique Stevenson, and linebacker Ruben Hyppolite II have all been ruled out.
In more encouraging news, both J.J. McCarthy (concussion) and Aaron Jones Sr. (shoulder) have been removed from the injury report and will be available for the Minnesota Vikings this weekend.
Sauce Gardner of the Indianapolis Colts has been ruled out for Sunday’s divisional matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The absence of their top cornerback compounds challenges for the Colts, who have not won in Jacksonville since 2014.

A growing number of NFL executives are reportedly encouraging top college quarterback prospects to remain in school rather than declare early for the draft.
