The Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs kicks off Saturday, with the Atlanta Falcons hosting the Seattle Seahawks and the heavily-favoured Patriots hosting the Texans. Keep up with the latest news on TSN.ca's gameday blog.

Seahawks RB Prosise out

Running back CJ Prosise was the lone player listed as questionable, for either team, on the injury report this week.

However, Prosise was officially placed on the inactive list and will not play against the Falcons.

Prosise is dealing with a shoulder injury and hasn't played since Nov. 20 against the Eagles.

The Seahawks running game has struggled at times this season, but starter Thomas Rawls is coming off his best performance of the season - burning the Detroit Lions for 161 yards in the wild-card round.

 


Patriots WR Mitchell expected out

Wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell was listed as questionable by the Patriots on Friday, but, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Mitchell will not play against the Texans.

The full injury report is below, via Patriots.com.
