The first week of the postseason delivered many exciting games, highlighted by the unexpected comeback by the Jaguars. The eight remaining teams have minimal injuries to their offensive players. Here's a look at each team and some player notes for the second round of the playoffs.
Buffalo Bills
WR Isaiah McKenzie is the only offensive Buffalo player with injury news heading into the second round of the postseason. Buffalo gave their WR3 snaps to Khalil Shakir (41%) and Cole Beasley (42%). John Brown also snuck on the field for 21 plays (28%).
Devin Singletary led the Bills in running back snaps (55%) over James Cook (31%), but Cook won the snap battle 12 to 10 with a touchdown.
Cincinnati Bengals
The Bengals don't have a starting offensive player on the injury report on Tuesday. The outlier in snaps against the Ravens last week was the playing time of Joe Mixon. He was out-snapped by Samaje Perine 31 to 26, but Mixon still had the edge in touches (14 to 2).
Hayden Hurst regained his full-time role over the past two games.
Dallas Cowboys
Tony Pollard leads the Cowboys in running back snaps (609 to 591 on the season). Last week, Dallas had him on the field for 58% of playing time, a similar role since Week 11.
T.Y. Hilton is close to passing Noah Brown for wide receiver snaps. The Cowboys had him on the field for 25 plays vs. the Bucs (26 for Brown). His next step is to be more involved in the passing game.
Dallas looks healthy offensively after the win against Tampa.
Jacksonville Jaguars
The offensive structure of Jacksonville continues to be overlooked due to needing more star power at their skill positions, as least by name. Travis Etienne was on the field for 86% of the Jaguars' plays (his highest snap percentage since Week 13). JaMycal Hasty stepped on the field for nine plays (12%).
Trevor Lawrence continued to battle a toe issue, limiting his practice time. In addition, he was spiked on his non-throwing hand vs. the Chargers. Jacksonville expects him to play on Sunday.
