Le’Veon Bell (knee) is officially inactive for the Chiefs.

This knee issue that popped up for Bell will unfortunately keep him out of today’s AFC title game against the Bills. If the Chiefs advance to Super Bowl LV, hopefully another two weeks off will give Bell time to return to end the season.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle/hip) is officially active for the AFC Championship.

Edwards-Helaire still might not be quite at 100%, but he’s back in the lineup as expected with a Super Bowl trip on the line. If the rookie is feeling good and playing well, he should get a sizable workload against the Bills.

Gabriel Davis (ankle) is officially active for the Bills.

Aaron Jones (chest) is officially questionable to return for the Packers.

Jones took a big hit to the midsection and lost a fumble to start the second half, and he looks to be in obvious discomfort on the bench. With the Packers now down 18 points, hopefully Jones is able to return soon.

Devlin Hodges is signing with the Rams.

Hodges has starting experience from his time in Pittsburgh and will hope to win the No. 2 job this summer. The team could also add a quarterback at some point in April’s draft.

Greg Olsen has announced his retirement from the NFL.

Olsen—who will join FOX as the No. 2 color commentator next season—announced the expected decision on the network’s pregame show. The veteran admirably came back from a foot injury this year to end his career with another postseason appearance, and he should be excellent at his new gig. In 14 seasons with Chicago, Carolina, and Seattle, Olsen caught 742 passes for 8,683 yards and 60 touchdowns—numbers that rank fifth, fifth, and eighth respectfully among the tight end position in NFL history.

The Lions and Matthew Stafford have mutually agreed to part ways this offseason, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.

Barring something unforeseen, this parting of ways will happen via a trade this offseason with Stafford having two years remaining on his contract. Both Stafford and the new regime in Detroit led by Dan Campbell are getting a fresh start, creating an interesting situation for both the Lions and their former No. 1 overall pick in the 2009 draft. Stafford’s 12 seasons in Detroit end with a 62.6% completion percentage, 45,109 passing yards, 282 passing touchdowns, and 144 interceptions, along 1,198 rushing yards and 14 rushing touchdowns. Stafford had a 74-90-1 record as a starter for the Lions, but he was able to help the team make the playoffs three times, and he demolished the franchise record books as the all-time leader in passing yards, passing touchdowns, and wins. This move is the start of what could be a wild offseason at the quarterback position. Teams will certainly be interested in Stafford, with the Colts and Patriots as two standout possibilities. Meanwhile, the Lions are set to go with a younger franchise quarterback, potentially at No. 7 in this year’s draft.
