  Talanoa Hufanga: Injuries mar 2024 season
  
  Hufanga (concussion) finished with 38 tackles (20 solo) in seven active games in 2024. Hufanga entered the season rehabbing a torn ACL suffered in Week 11 of the 2023 campaign. Things didn't get any better for the hard-hitting safety this year after appearing in just seven games due to a combination of ankle and wrist injuries before suffering a concussion in the 49ers' final contest. Assuming Hufanga can earn a clean bill of health in 2025, he will hit the open market as an unrestricted free agent after showing promise in four years with San Francisco.

  Mecole Hardman: Won’t return in divisional round
  
  Hardman (knee), who remains on injured reserve, has been ruled out for Saturday's divisional-round contest against the Texans. The Chiefs designated Hardman for return from injured reserve on Jan. 1, but the wide receiver has yet to progress beyond a limited listing on six ensuing Chiefs injury reports. His window in which to get back on the active roster for the first time since Week 13 also is quickly coming to a close. First, though, Kansas City will need to emerge victorious Saturday in order for Hardman to have a chance to play again this season.

  Nick Bosa: Plays through injury in down year
  
  Bosa finished with 52 tackles (33 solo), 9.0 sacks, one interception and one fumble forced across 14 starts in 2024. Bosa didn't live up to the lofty expectations set in previous seasons despite providing well-rounded statistics. The 2022 DPOY didn't sniff that honor this year after dealing with an oblique injury that cost him three games of action. Bosa didn't get rolling again until Week 17 when he produced a pair of sacks against Detroit. With the 49ers missing the playoffs, the elite edge rusher will have a full offseason to return to full strength before running things back in 2025.

Troy Reeder : Ruled out for Sunday’s game

Reeder practiced in full Friday but has been ruled out for Sunday's road divisional round matchup against the Eagles, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports. Reeder was designated to return to practice from injured reserve Thursday, but he won't make his return to the field in time for the NFC divisional round. If the Rams advance over Philadelphia, Reeder will work to gain full clearance in time for Los Angeles' next playoff clash.

January 17, 2025
Tyler Higbee : Ready for divisional round

Higbee (chest) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's divisional-round game in Philadelphia, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports. Higbee was forced out in the second quarter of Monday's wild-card win versus the Vikings due to a chest injury that required a visit to the hospital. Fortunately for the tight end, he was able to travel back to Los Angeles with his teammates, and he followed up a limited listing Wednesday with a capped session Thursday and full practice to cap the week, thereby clearing him for the second round of the playoffs. Higbee may find the sledding tough Sunday against an Eagles defense that has conceded the fewest YPT (5.71) to opposing TEs this season.

January 17, 2025
Jeshaun Jones : Remaining with Minnesota

The Vikings signed Jones to a reserve/future contract Friday. Jones, who spend much of the 2024 campaign on Minnesota's practice squad, has earned an opportunity to stick with the team throughout the offseason and continue his development. The undrafted rookie out of Maryland is still looking for a chance to make his NFL debut.

January 17, 2025
Mike Strachan : Sticking with Washington

The Commanders signed Strachan to a reserve/future contract Friday. Strachan will get an opportunity to continue his development with Washington this offseason, though his contract makes him ineligible to contribute during the team's postseason run. That means Strachan won't be a candidate to suit up for Saturday's road divisional-round matchup against the Lions on Saturday.

January 17, 2025
Malik Mustapha : Gets lots of run as rookie

Mustapha (knee) finished his rookie season with 72 tackles (32 solo) and one interception across 16 games with the 49ers. Mustapha spent most of his rookie campaign filling in for injured starting safety Talanoa Hufanga, who managed to suit up for just seven games after returning from a serious knee injury. The 23-year-old Mustapha suffered a knee injury of his own in the 49ers' final game of the season, but its unclear if it will limit his availability come training camp. Mustapha figures to have an opportunity to compete for the position he filled in for so admirably as a rookie in 2025.

  Fred VanVleet: Status for Saturday unclear
  
  VanVleet (personal) didn't play in Thursday's game versus the Kings due to personal reasons and the Rockets have yet to release an injury report for Saturday's contest against the Trail Blazers. VanVleet missed his first game since Dec. 8 on Thursday due to personal reasons, allowing Jeff Green to enter the starting lineup. Fantasy managers should look out for an official injury report to clarify VanVleet's status ahead of Saturday's matchup with Portland.

  Zaccharie Risacher: Out two games
  
  The Hawks announced Friday that Risacher (thigh) will miss Atlanta's next two games. This is a tough blow for the 2024 No. 1 overall pick, and it means he'll miss Saturday's game against Boston and Monday's game against the Knicks. He'll be re-evaluated prior to Wednesday's game against Detroit, and he can be considered questionable for that contest for the time being. Fortunately for Atlanta, De'Andre Hunter (foot) is expected to return from a two-game absence Saturday.

Conley will rejoin Minnesota's starting lineup in the absence of Donte DiVincenzo (toe) on Friday, giving the former a chance to provide enhanced fantasy value. It'll be Conley's first start since a Jan. 4 loss to Detroit, and the veteran floor general is averaging 7.1 points, 3.7 assists, 1.6 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 1.6 threes in 23.2 minutes across his last seven appearances as a starter for the Wolves.

Jimmy Butler : Set to return against Denver

Butler will return to the lineup Friday against the Nuggets,NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports. After serving a seven-game suspension imposed by the team, Butler will return to the basketball floor against Denver. The 35-year-old veteran has made it abundantly clear that he wants to be traded, but Miami is seemingly finding it difficult to move him, resulting in this awkward situation. There's no telling how much time Butler will be on the floor Friday.

January 17, 2025
Karl-Anthony Towns : Game-time call Friday

Towns (thumb) will be a game-time call Friday against the Timberwolves, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports. Towns is currently listed as questionable on the injury report, as he has a bone chip in his wrist and a sprained right thumb. Coach Tom Thibodeau said the center will warm up and see how he feels before a decision is made on his status. Precious Achiuwa will likely see extended minutes if Towns can't give it a go.

Daeqwon Plowden : Returns to parent club

The Hawks transferred Ploweden from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Friday. Plowden recorded 11 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, one assist and one block in 22 minutes during Thursday's 123-122 overtime G League loss to the Maine Celtics. However, Plowden will now get an opportunity to crack the Hawks' NBA rotation during Saturday's matchup with Boston.

January 17, 2025
Nick Richards : Set to make team debut Saturday

Richards (recently traded) is not listed on the injury report for Saturday's game against the Pistons. It sets the stage for Richards to make his Suns debut after being traded by the Hornets on Wednesday. Although Phoenix could be preparing to have Richards start once he gets acclimated to the system, it's unclear what role he'll play immediately with his new team. In any event, the 27-year-old big man has averaged 11.3 points, 10.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.7 blocks in 27.2 minutes over nine games as a starter this season, and his presence likely spells bad news for the playing time of veteran Mason Plumlee.

January 17, 2025
Dominick Barlow : Returns to parent club

The Hawks transferred Barlow from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Friday. Barlow tallied 19 points (8-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 36 minutes during Thursday's 123-122 overtime G League loss to the Maine Celtics. However, the two-way player will now return to the NBA.

  Will Klein: Taken off 40-man roster
  
  The Athletics designated Klein for assignment Friday. The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Jose Leclerc, who was signed Friday. Klein, who was acquired from the Royals at the trade deadline as part of the return for Lucas Erceg, allowed nine runs with a 7:6 K:BB over 7.1 innings in his first go-round in the majors in 2024. However, the big righty throws hard and has 30.4 percent strikeout rate at the minor-league level, so he figures to draw some interest via trade or waivers.

  José Leclerc: Inks one-year deal with Athletics
  
  The Athletics signed Leclerc to a one-year, $10 million contract Friday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. Although he finished with a 4.32 ERA, Leclerc also posted a 30.9 percent strikeout rate in 2024, his highest mark since 2019. The 31-year-old has never had a single-season walk rate in the single digits, so the A's are just hoping he can miss enough bats to overcome the inevitable lapses of control. Leclerc will be a setup man ahead of star closer Mason Miller.

Fujinami dealt with a shoulder injury this past season and posted a 6.68 ERA and 38:33 K:BB over 32.1 innings during a stint with Triple-A Syracuse in the Mets organization. The 30-year-old struck out 83 in 79 frames between the Athletics and Orioles in 2023 but also walked 45 and held a 7.18 ERA.

A.J. Minter: Lands $22 million deal from NYM

The Mets signed Minter (hip) to a two-year, $22 million contract Friday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. The Mets were known to be seeking a high-leverage reliever and have landed one of the better ones in Minter, who has an opt-out after the first year of the deal. The 31-year-old was limited to just 39 appearances in 2024 due to a left hip injury which eventually required surgery, but he was highly effective when on the bump, compiling a 2.62 ERA and 35:11 K:BB over 34.1 innings. Since 2020, Minter boasts a 2.85 ERA and 30.1 percent strikeout rate. There's no word on how far along Minter is in his recovery, but he will presumably be ready to go by Opening Day. He'll operate in a setup role ahead of closer Edwin Diaz.

January 17, 2025
Nick Raposo: Outrighted to Triple-A

The Mariners outrighted Raposo to Triple-A Tacoma. He's no longer on the 40-man roster but will remain in the organization as catching depth. Raposo, 26, is a career .241/.321/.387 hitter in the minors and has yet to see any action at the big-league level.

January 17, 2025
Livan Soto: Remains in organization

The Orioles outrighted Soto to Triple-A Norfolk on Friday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports. Soto is no longer on Baltimore's 40-man roster but will remain in its organization. The utility infielder went 3-for-13 at the plate in 2024 between brief stints with the Reds and Orioles.

January 17, 2025
Chase Shugart: Lands in Pittsburgh

The Pirates acquired Shugart from the Red Sox on Friday in exchange for Matt McShane, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports. Shugart had been designated for assignment. The 28-year-old reached the big leagues for the first time this past season, yielding four runs over 8.2 relief innings. Shugart will compete for a spot in the Pirates' bullpen.

January 17, 2025
Allan Winans: Scrubbed from 40-man roster

Atlanta designated Winans for assignment Friday. The move frees a spot on the 40-man roster for Amos Willingham, who was claimed off waivers. Winans, 29, has made eight starts at the big-league level since the beginning of the 2023 season, putting up a 7.20 ERA and 38:12 K:BB across 40 innings.
