The Chiefs are waiving Josh Gordon.

Gordon, who has been inactive as a healthy scratch during the first two postseason games, is being waived from the active roster, but the Chiefs want to bring him back as depth on the practice squad. Ultimately, Kansas City trusts guys that have been in the system over the former All-Pro that joined midseason.

AJ Dillon suffered a fractured rib in Saturday night’s loss, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Dillon would have faced long odds of being cleared for next week, but Green Bay’s season coming to a shocking end will obviously have him healthy well in advance of the offseason programs. The 2020 second-round pick should be a key part of the offense next season no matter who ends up playing quarterback.

Jeff Wilson (ankle) ruled out for the remainder of the game.

Wilson went down in the first half, so JaMycal Hasty will handle pure running back duties behind Elijah Mitchell when Deebo Samuel isn’t in the backfield.

The Buccaneers are waiving Le’Veon Bell.

Bell didn’t record a touch last week, so it’s no surprise that he’s being waived in correspondence with Leonard Fournette’s activation. The former All-Pro could end up re-signing with the practice squad as backfield insurance.

Leonard Fournette (hamstring) is being activated from injured reserve.

Tampa Bay will get some needed reinforcements on offense with Fournette back against the Rams, and he should have a substantial role as a runner and receiver. We’d expect the Bucs will mostly lean on a two-man backfield of Fournette and Giovani Bernard in the Divisional Round.

Breshad Perriman (hip/abdomen) is out for Sunday.

Perriman won’t play, so Tom Brady will be relying on Tyler Johnson, Scotty Miller, and potentially rookie Jaelon Darden behind Mike Evans if Cyril Grayson Jr. (hamstring) is also inactive. Look for the offense to mostly run through Leonard Fournette (if activated from injured reserve), Evans, and Rob Gronkowski for the most part against the Rams this weekend.

Ronald Jones II (ankle) ruled out for the Divisional Round.

Jones will miss the second postseason game in a row, but the good news for Tampa Bay is that Leonard Fournette (hamstring) is expected back. Based on his lack of practice over the past two weeks, Jones would appear to be on the wrong side of questionable for a possible NFC Championship Game next Sunday.
